Gamulet Bracelet

I love jewellery. Adore it, in fact. I've had my heart set on getting a simple silver bracelet for a while but couldn't find somewhere with good quality products and a reasonable price, until I came across Gamulet*.

I opted for the classic silver clasped bracelet for £20.95. Every other bracelet I had seen, of the same kind, from other brands had been £50+ so to get something of the same quality for a fraction of the price was perfect.

I opted for two charms, I opted for two birthstone charms; the crystal pave charm for £19.95 and also the February pave charm for £14.95. I also had my eye on the march birthstone for £14.95 and the rose gold pave charm for £19.95.

Overall, I'm thrilled with my choices and will definitely be heading over to Gamulet anytime I need a fair priced, beautiful, charm.

Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Creme Review

The Ole Henriksen Invigorating night creme* is the product of dreams. I have a dry face and an oily forehead so, naturally, I was scared of the exfoliating properties in this but I was very pleasantly surprised by the results.

The product has a gel/creme hybrid feel that dries almost as soon as it's applied, when it's applied it feels like you've just gotten a facelift and everything feels rather tight- but not uncomfortable. I had a little breakout around my nose and the morning after I put this on they all disappeared. I was in genuine shock, I went from having a small colony of spots to none overnight- what kind of magic is this?!

After a bit of research I found that it contained all the 'wonder' products for your skin, the biggest being AHA. Whilst the AHA attack the spots and sebum, the shea butter leaves your face feeling as smooth as a babies bottom. It does come with a hefty price tag, but for the breathtaking results I cannot recommend this product enough buy it for £47 here.

My Little "Fashion" Box September 2015 Unboxing + Review


I am in love with My Little Box, you know this, I know this BUT this month... boy, I never knew I could feel like this! 

The box is always packed with goodies but every item in this had me smiling from ear to ear. The theme of this months box is fashion.

The first product I reached for was the Kerastase "Laque Noire" extra strong hold hair spray. I have been a huge fan of kerastase for years so was overjoyed to find a product from them, that I haven't tried, in the box. The hairspray carries a normal hairspray scent and claims to hold your hair perfectly, even in the most humid of places.

I haven't tried the alfa.k griffe Paris nail decals, as I'm saving them for a special occasion but the colours and quirky designs are adorable. 

Another item I was pleasantly surprised to see in the box was the La Roche Pose "Toleriane Ultra Fluide". The product is designed for even the most sensitive or allergic skins and is an intense soothing fluid for your face and your eyes. The packaging had me stumped for ages but I realised, after a long struggle, that you just have to twist the head for it to start pumping.

The next item I tried was the "Red Dingue creme de rouge" my little beauty lip cream, packaged in a gorgeous spotty tube was a magnificent matte red, I wasn't expecting it to dry to the finish it did and was left pleasantly surprised.
 I love that they included a, stunning, scarf but what I love even more is the way they designed the packaging so it gave the illusion of the drawing wearing the scarf. Hurry up and order your box RIGHT NOW, this isn't one to miss. Seriously. My little box* never fail to impress. Sign up for £11 + P&P here.

My "Gypset" Little Box REVIEW- August 2015


Hello my lovies!

This month's box is packed with a bunch of goodies, my absolute favourite product in the box is the Korres body milk in Basil Lemon, I initially thought this was a shower milk but was pleasantly surprised when I found it was a lotion. The product sinks in really quickly and leaves your skin feeling as soft as a babies bottom.

A product that I found really interesting was the So Susie Colour Hybrid- this is a lip/cheek mousse and has a velvet texture. The colour is a vibrant red which settles to have a semi-matte finish. Another make-up item in this months box is My Little Box's very own bronzer, I don't use this for a contour I use this to add colour to my face.
I've been loving using the hairbands- they're super pretty and don't put too much pressure on my hair!

The last item I received was a gorgeous blue duffle bag, with geometric patterns all over it.
My Little Box* never fail to brighten up my day, Sign up for £11 + P&P here.

Ghost Girl- DARE TO BE YOU!




One of my first ever perfumes was a Ghost  perfume and I've been in love with the brand ever since. This month I was asked to feature their, fabulous, new launch- their new fragrance that dares you to be YOU!

The bottle is beautifully eye-catching with phrases such as "Love me" and "Adore me" scribbled all over the see through bottle in bright colours. 

The fragrances top notes are pear, bergamot and raspberry with tuberose, almond blossom and orange blossom as base notes. I've never been particularly good at describing scents so I tend to describe them in emotions, the emotions I feel after smelling this are nostalgia and a "free" feeling- everything associated with my teen years. I'm turning 20 this october so this is definitely a fragrances I'm going to clinging onto *cue Taylor Swift 'Never Grow Up'*

The fragrance made me remember simpler times and to have a massive throwback I decided to visit my favourite place as a teen, London Bankside. Food, amazing art and memories made for the perfect mix and I couldn't resist taking a few photos.
As this perfume has become a permanent addition to my handbag I decided to do a little "what's in my bag" post for you.
1. MAC lipstick- Dark lipsticks make all of my outfits go from day-to-night.
2. Coconut Hand Cream- An absolute holy grail for dry hands.
3. Headphones- I detest small talk, headphones have never failed to save me from them, and so, I never leave home without them.
4. Mints- For when Channing Tatum happens to hop on your tube. A girl can dream.
5. Lip balm- Especially with winter coming, this is a must.
6. Seche Vite Nailpolish- Ladders in tights + hairy legs= the worst pairing. A little trick I learnt this year was that if you put clear nailpolish over a ladder it prevents it from ripping any further- ingenious, right?!
7. Ghost Girl Fragrance*- The star of the show. I rarely keep a perfume in my bag for more than a few days, purely because I have so many but I cannot let go of this. I'm in love, must be something in the air, har-har.
8. Hairbands- For when your hair is being unruly or you've eaten one too many donuts and fancy a spontaneous Blogilates session.
9. Armani Exchange Purse- Bacon butties don't buy themselves.
10. Keys.
11. Calvin Klein Glasses- I'm as blind as a bat but they're also extremely handy for concealing how tired my eyes look.
12. Umbrella- I live in england. That is all.

If you're interested in buying the new Ghost fragrance it's available in boots stores now.
Buy 30ml for £25
Buy 50ml for £34
Buy 100ml for £46
I've also noticed that you get a free heart coin purse with your purchase, so what are you waiting for? #DareToBeYou 

GHOST fragrances have been on a bold journey of self-discovery and unveil their edgy side presenting a brand new feminist floral that is complimented by a brand new look and feel. The scent, like the campaign is bursting with attitude for the strong, daring and fun-loving girl of today.

Their most fearless fragrance to date, this intoxicating scent marks a change of direction for the brand adding a young, mischievous edge to the existing classical collection.
Ghost Girl. DARE TO BE YOU.

What's Up, Toots?

The sun brings out many things in me: sunburn, a lusting for watermelon and my addiction for online shopping.

My latest online shopping addiction is shoes, swooon, and having come across some beauties I thought it'd be cruel not to share them.

1) Doc Martens- AKA the love of my life that I will never be able to afford, but hey, a girl can dream. I love matte leather so the origianl 1460 Doc Martens would be my shoe of choice. Buy here for £111.
2) Office Parisian Lace Up Sandal- Suede is the love of my life when it comes to shoes, but red is a colour I normally steer clear of. That being said, the lace detail really drew me to the shoe and I think the colour completes the look. Buy for £75 here.
3) Office Cut-Out Boot- I tend to go for black heels during the winter and nudes during the summer, so this is a must have, the cut out detail is a lovely touch. Buy for £65 here.
4) Figtree Gladiator Sandal- After endless hours of reading The Blonde Salad, I have been converted and adore gladiator shoes. These tanned ones would look gorgeous paired with a white dress. Buy for £52 here.
5) Strappy Heel Sandals- These have a mid-heel making them stylish and suitable for everyday wear. The model wore it with jeans and white shirt and I currently have the whole outfit in my basket... Buy for £49.99 here.
6) Lace Up Ballerina- Classic flats with a stylish twist. Perfect. Buy for £29.99 here.
7) Nike Roshe Run Flyknit- I came across a huge nike store when travelling in Italy recently and fell in love with the Flyknit textured trainers. I tried them on and they literally make it feel like you're walking on air- saving up my pennies now! Buy for £94.99 here.

Maybelline Classic Volume Express WATERPROOF Mascara Swatches + Review (Before + After)



Long time no seee..... Long story short, I scheduled a lot of posts whilst travelling and NONE POSTED- sigh. Anyway, back again!

Today I'm going to be a rave review on my must-have mascara of the moment- and it's an absolute bargain. I picked up Maybelline Classic Volume Express Waterproof on whim in tesco because I loved the colour of the tube and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the actual product also.

As the name suggests the product is waterproof, but this product may as well be called bulletproof. It is a nightmare and a half to take off but so perfect at the same time.

It gives your make-up an almost hollywood look as it stays so perfect, and holds your eyelashes in the same place all day. It's also extremely black which makes it the perfect night-out pick me up.

Pros:
+Lengthening
+Volumising
+Holds curl
+Doesn't flake
+Very black
+Tube lasts a while
+Waterproof
+Cheap

Cons:
- Nightmare to take off

The product costs £4.99 which is amazing value for money, and I really recommend it if you're going on holiday or your make-up doesn't stay put on nights out. Buy here.
