Daisy, A Review

beauty

Marc Jacobs Fragrance: Daisy 




I have loved this perfume ever since I tried it when it came out.

My favourite flowers are daisies so I’ve always been a little bias towards these perfumes (weird I know), but that is the main reason why I tried it and I am so glad I did! 
It’s fresh and floral scent is delicate and beautiful, but not sickly or too sweet like some other scents I have come across. I have been looking out for a signature scent and feel like this would be the perfect one to wear day to day, especially as it is not too heavy. It will also suit heading into the spring/summer months that we are all desperate to start seeing again, it’s so cold!

I was lucky enough to receive this at Christmas time in a fancy gift set. The perfume comes presented in a gorgeous box with a daisy shower gel and body lotion (which are both lovely formulas and smell amazing too). However, as I'm sure you know, the perfume is available in lots of places on the high street and price wise, it ranges from about £20 - £70 depending on the product and which size you choose.

I absolutely love this perfume and would recommend it to anyone really, but especially those who like light summery scents. Furthermore, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous and looks great on my dressing table!

Final Thoughts: I love it!
Perfect for: A cute first date 
Rating: 5 (daises) /5 

 What do you think to Daisy by Marc Jacobs? Do you love it as much as me or prefer some of the newer scents in the range? I'd love to know!


Barry M Natural Glow Shadow and Blush Palette

beauty


The other day I popped into my local Superdrug and saw these Barry M palettes. I have aways loved Barry M, but never bought natural colours from them to be honest.  They've always been my go to for bold, sparkly, party makeup really, not everyday colours, so when I saw this I was really excited. 

Now, these may not be new, but I had never seen them before. I think there may even be a new Glow Palette aptly named the Glow Palette 2, but if you have missed this beauty treat, they might be worth a look! Plus it is a bit of a great dupe for the Naked Palette. Everyone has been on about the Naked palettes (and rightly so, they are gorgeous), but if you are anything like me, but my budget doesn't quite reach that far when I want to try out new products. That's where products like these are perfect, amazing, lovely and great to try out looks with before you treat yourself to the real thing (if you still feel you need to!) 


The packaging is really simple and gorgeous. As you can see, there are 6 beautiful eyeshadow colours and a bonus pastel pink blush. Unlike so many palettes today there are also some little eyeshadow brushes included which is great for topping up your look on the go. 


The colours are so nice. There are three matt colours and three more metallic shades. Because of this the palette is great for being used as a base, or for a casual look or even for something more smokey or a heavier look for night. It's so versatile! 


As you can see they are really pigmented and I love them! 

Have you tried the Barry M Glow Palette? Let me know if you love it as much as me <3

My Week in Pictures!

My Week 

I tidied my room! My wardrobe to be more precise - very interesting I know
I treated myself in Norwich and spent all my birthday/Christmas money (we all deserve a treat once in a while!)
I ate at a restaurant called 'Giraffe', had a delicious duck stirfry and iced tea (with a cute pink giraffe!)
I tried fruit tea to start off a bit of a detox - this one from Twinings is delicious!
I started running again -  it didn't go great, but I'm sure I'll get back on track soon
The weather is still soooo cold and I'm wishing and hoping for snow
I've really been trying to have a put together look each day - even if this is just adding a necklace once in a while!
I made dinner once this week and just look at that pure white coconut milk!
I also took a picture of a Starbucks cup... it was a raspberry slush fruit drink thing YUM

That was my week!

Skiing! - A look back

fashion
Last year I went skiing and it was SO GOOD. It was one of the best holidays ever, no, scrap that, the best holiday ever.

In five weeks time I am going again and I can't wait! Did I mention I'm excited?! It's going to be so great!

Anyway, I was just taking a small trip down memory lane and reminiscing about the cold winter holiday I loved so much. I'm going to pop a few of my favourite pictures of last year here :)


Me ice fishing in the middle of a frozen lake... I didn't catch anything :( 


Snowy Twigs - I don't know why, but I love this picture


Brrr... 


Look how deep the snow is! I love snow and this made me very happy indeed!


For Ski Outfit inspiration, carry on reading!


Ooh, I nearly forgot, I am going to use these five weeks as an excuse to get fitter and as a step towards one of my (many) New Year's resolutions, so I'll keep you updated on that too.

Anyway, I've also included a little skiing outfit that I think would look lovely on the rolling white slopes of snow - I want to go back!! Not long now! Hmm, can you tell I'm excited - especially with all those !!!'s

I think that's enough rambling for now

Until next time!
