Body Shop haul!

Hello my dears,

A week ago I went shopping to find myself a birthday present. After a walk around I decided that I shouldn't buy things I don't need so I decided to get some stuff from the Body Shop that I could splurge on without feeling guilty. After all a girl needs shower gel and shampoo...;)
So here is my little haul....


Banana Shampoo

Coconut Shower Cream

Soft hands,Kind heart hand cream

Now, in brief, the Banana shampoo is becoming one of my favourites. My friend Kate is always rambling about how great this shampoo is and I kind of agree....
The coconut shower cream is a classic for me. It has a warm coconut smell which I like for this time of year. It is , also, very creamy and nourishing which is always a plus.
The shower lilly is mildly exfoliating and lovely for cleansing the skin.As far as the hand cream is concerned, I haven't decided yet.I will let you know once I have made up my mind!

Hope you like this post ;)

NOTD guest post

I have a NOTD guest post for you today!! My very good friend Lydia (who is also my oldest friend in the world who still puts up with me) created this NOTD for you using MAC's Peaceable nailpolish(2 coats), the Olivia Orkide no 47 glitter polish and Seche Vite topcoat(which she swears by and I am almost sold on it :P). She is amazing when it comes to nail designs and choosing her nail colour. I hope you like it and if you want to encourage her to do more guest posts then comment below ;) ;) ;)



Let us know what you think!

October Favorites!!

Hello my lovely readers! It is the end of October in a couple of days and November is almost here so I thought it would be a great time to do my October favorites post!! First item is still the lasting perfection conceal by Collection 2000.
I still love it but I am almost out. I have a back-up at home but I am looking for a new concealer until I then. If you have any reccomendations I would love to hear them. I am thinking of going back to my studio sculpt concealer by MAC however I am also looking for something a little more creamy like the bobbi brown creamy concealer. What do you guys think? Next favorite is the Viva Glam Gaga 2 lipstick by MAC. I love dabbing a little bit on my lips in the morning and blending it with my finger. It gives me great nude, matte look.
This month, I am also loving the Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush! It is amazing and I cannot wait to receive an order I placed with Sigma a couple of days ago(which includes 2 more brushes from their synthetic line and an e/s brush).
The next two items are skincare items from lush and apivita. The first one is the Lush Tea tree toner and the second one is the apivita creamy facial cleaner.
They are both must-have items for me and I use them every day. Last but not least, I am absolutely loving my travel sized Guerlain palette. I have had this palette for at least 3 years and it has been well loved. This month I have been, especially, loving mixing the blush and bronzer and using it as a cheek colour. I cannot explain what colour it comes out exactly but it looks fantastic.
And...my look of the month has been my Adele inspired look(I think I will feature the favorite look of the month in all my monthly favorites from now on...what do you guys think????)
What have you been loving this month? xoxo A.
