My perfume collection

My perfume collection
These are the perfumes I keep on my dressing table and use everyday before I leave to go work or out somewhere.
-valentino rock'n rose couture
-Escada ocean lounge
-flower bomb by victor & Rolf 
-prada candy 
-juicy couture viva la juicy 
-Rihanna rebbel fleur
-nina ricci La Tentation de Nina
-212 Carolina Herrera limited edition
I keep 'chacharel amor amor' in my bag most of the time and use when I'm out so that's why it wasn't on the pic above.

My 2 favourites are flower bomb and prada candy, prada candy smells really sweet like candy and flower bomb is really strong and I can't really describe it but smells so nice.

Chacharel amor amor and Rihanna rebel fleur are ones iv repurchased so many times and I go through them so quick hadn't repurchased Rihanna in a wile though and missed it so I asked for it for Christmas and my boyfriend got it for me the set and it had a little travel spray of it aswel so I take that one to work it's nearly ran out though because there was only 10 ml in it.
 
(the pic below left to right) Rihanna rebel fleur, Prada candy, victor & Rolf flower bomb. Cacharel Amor Amor and at the front Nina Ricci. these are my top 5 perfumes that I own in no particular order.

I love the  Nina ricci perfume aswel (the pink and gold apple at the front in the pic above) because the pink and gold on the bottle look really nice, the pic isn't doing it justice, it smells really nice too.

I think the 212 perfume is my least favourite scent it's still nice or I wouldn't have bought it but I prefer the others, I love the aftershave version of this for men, the surf limited edition it smells so nice and the bottle reminds me of a beachy holiday so I got that for my boyfriend and got my self the girls version.
The bottle is really cool though you unscrew the ends and they come off it's the same perfume in both but it's good for throwing in ya bag, there is 30 ml in each so 60 ml altogether.

Liebster award


I was nominated for a leibster award by Jordan jane (Basic Bitch Beauty) from jorrdzzz.blogspot.co.uk 
I didn't know what it was till I read her post on it so I'm sorry if I do something wrong. Thank you so much for nominating me i really appreciate it :) xxx

Rules: (iv copied the rules from Jordan's blog)


1. Thank the person who nominated you
2. Answers the questions from your nominator
3. Nominate 11 bloggers who have less than 200 followers. (I failed on this one)
4. Create 11 new questions
5. Notify your nominees through social media  


1. What is your favourite beauty brand?
This is a tough one because there are so many I love I'd probably say mac because I love the lipsticks so much.

2. Most beautiful woman in the world?
This is a really tough one there are so many beautiful women out there I can't just pick one but off the top of my head il choose one of them 'Kiera Knightly'

3. What is your favourite movie?
After watching 'pride and the prejudice' (the one with Kiera knightly) the other day for the first time I think I choose that because I really liked it and I can't believe I hadn't watched it sooner. 

4. Where do you hope to be in 10 years time and what do you hope to be doing?
I really don't know if love to be doing something beauty related but in the past 8-9 years iv been in the same job so I will probably still be there.

5. Tell us something not many people know about you.
I feel insecure sometimes and even if I know something I think but what if I'm wrong so I don't want to say incase I make a fool out of myself lol (if that makes sense) sounds silly I know.

6. What beauty product could you not live without?
I think I'd have to say Charlotte tilbury filmstar bronze and glow (even though I chose mac as my fave brand so I'm kind of contradicting my self ) I think I will rebuy the filmstar bronze and glow when I run out even though it's a bit pricey but you do get a lot of product, I always want it in my collection because it's so pretty.

7. Twitter or Instagram? 
I don't have twitter and I think I may have Instagram but I never go on it if I do :( I have Facebook though lol.

8. If you could have a superpower what would you have?
Probably flying then I could just fly to different countries, fly to a beach in a hot country :)
Or I'd also like to be able to time travel to the olden days with the peasants, plus I love pride and the prejudice with Kiera knightly so even though it's not real I'd like to go back to them times but probably just to see what it's like, so I choose flying

9. How long have you been blogging?
My first blog post was 28/1/14 so wow almost a year... It's gone so fast.

10. Explain the name of your blog.
I didn't put any thought into the name of my blog it's stupid I wish I had now but I was just inpatient and wanted to do it straight away.

There was no number 11

(Some of these bloggers I'm nominating have more than 200 followers because for one I don't know how to check how many followers people have on there blogs and for 2, I couldn't find 11 that I thought had around that amount, there all great anyway)

Project 5 pan

Project 5 pan
 
Iv never done a project pan before but I think it's a good idea to finish old makeup before buying new things, plus I'm moving soon ... Again (only moved here middle of august so was a waste of money decorating ) so can't be bothered moving loads of makeup so I want to use things up before I buy more.

I do actually really like everything here and iv probably mentioned most of them in previous favourites at some point but I kind have stopped using some of them and forgotten about them for some reason.
 
-Topshop bronzer
Iv hit pan on this bronzer so I want to use it up now then I will probably end up repurchasing it or might try to use up some other bronzers first.
 
-Rimmel stay matte powder translucent
I was using this everyday but lately iv been using the Bourjois powder because its easier for bringing in my makeup bag but I'm going to start using this again to use it up since iv hit pan then decide if I want to rebuy it or not, I really love the powder but hate the packaging but cant really complain since its only about £3.99.
 
-NYC blush 650 NoLiTa pink
I got this blush for my birthday and really love the colour its really pigmented but iv barely used it so I want to use this up even though it will take a wile because there is a lot of product for a blush there is 8.1 gram so its around double the amount of product.
 
-L'Oreal eye shadow quad infiniment bronze E3
I loved this eye shadow quad when I got it but then the lid broke off in my makeup bag so its pretty much stayed in my draw since then and I was debating on buying a new one but then its a waste so I wanna use it up or at least hit pan then if I still want to I can rebuy it then.
 
 
-Maybelline lipstick pink brown
As you can see there's not much left of this lipstick I used to use it everyday and it's been in a lot of my favourites but then when i bought mac kinda sexy and that kind of replaced it and I started wearing that everyday instead so I wanna start using it again and I'll probably love it all over again then if I do I can rebuy it when it runs out or just try a different lipstick because I want to buy mac velvet teddy so I might buy that when I've used this one up.
 
I'm going to use these products every day until they run out, the only time I might use different products is if I'm going out like a party where I want a different look or if I'm doing a blog post on a certain makeup look but for everyday use I'm going to use these aswel as foundation, mascara etc and I'll do an updated post either half way through or just when iv used everything up.

Makeup touch-ups with Givenchy


These are the first Givenchy products iv had and im really impressed and these items are really good for touching up and refreshing your makeup if its been on all day.

Givenchy mister light - instant light corrective pen
Givenchy Noir couture mascara
Givenchy lipstick Le Rouge mini 103 BRUN CRE'ATEUR
Givenchy makeup bag
 

Givenchy mister light - instant light corrective pen:- in my opinion this is the star of the show iv never been the biggest fan of illuminating pens, I loved the idea of them I just didn't find they did much for me, I have the ysl touch éclat and a loreal one but this Givenchy one is by far my fave and is perfect for refreshing my makeup through the day.
in the pic below I put the mister light under my eyes, down my nose, forehead, above my lip and chin.

I then blended it out with my fingers, my makeup instantly looked better. I wasn't sure how it would look over my old makeup that was wearing off after having it on over 10 hours but it went over smoothly and I was really happy with the way my complexion looked after using it.

Next I used the Givenchy mascara.

I love this mascara it doesn't flake off during the day like some mascaras. the only down side was because I already had mascara on that I'd had on all day it didn't go on as well as it would have if I was putting it on bare lashes but that goes for all mascaras for me. but I do really love this mascara.

 
Givenchy lipstick Le Rouge mini 103 BRUN CRE'ATEUR mini

love this lipstick its really pigmented and its a good day or night lipstick because its a natural colour but its not too pale.

below is the finished look, I didn't even need to apply powder or bronzer this was enough to touch up what I'd already applied around 10 hours earlier.

this is the size difference between the mini Givenchy le rouge lipstick and a regular mac lipstick.

Givenchy makeup bag, this is the perfect size for throwing in your bag and there is even room for a few more products.
I usually add a powder and a blush to the makeup bag just incase but I didn't use them today but they fit in the bag perfect with the other items.

I like this bourjois healthy balance powder for this makeup bag because its a slim compact and has a mirror and I like the Revlon blush because its a lovely shade and it has a little brush that I would only use for touch ups because its not the best brush but it will do for the powder and the blush if I'm out and want to add a little powder or blush.

Percy & reed all-purpose beauty bag

Percy & reed all-purpose beauty bag




I saw this a wile ago on asos and selfridges and wanted it ever since but for some reason I never bought it. (I think because I couldn't justify paying £30 when I already had quite a few makeup bags).

My sister got me some percy & reed stuff for Christmas Wich I really loved and one of them was a tote bag so I decided I wanted to buy this beauty bag to go with it since I wanted it for a wile.
I took out one of the white detachable punches so I could fit my makeup bag tooked behind the other pouch because id prefer to have my makeup in a makeup bag than a white pouch and this way it fits in, I just put in the bag what I would take with me if I was going on holiday or something (I'm not actually going anywhere so I didn't bother taking pics of the products in there but if I do go somewhere I'm sure il use it and probably do a seperate post).
