Also, just found out I'm moving, so my life is a bit full on.

Hope you're all great

MAC Hey Sailor!
Wow!
If you know me, you know I am obsessed with pin ups, sailors and all thing nautical! I have a little anchor tattoo and anything anchor related I have to own.
Imagine my excitement when I see the new Hey Sailor! Mac collection!
The colours don't blow me away, and an anchor or two is missing, but the packaging is lovely!!! A must have for me!
What do you think to it all?

YSL and Boots Haul
Hello everyone,
Hope you had a lovely weekend.
It was chucking it down here in Leeds so I sensibly went in to town with the boyfriend and spent my hard earned dosh in my beloved Boots lol
So here's a couple of things I bought there:
Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation in 54. Only bought because it was £6.99 and I've wanted to try it for a while! |
I've wanted Notting Hill Gate for so long! It is the perfect Barbie bubblegum pink. It looks great and is beautiful! I bought it with some of my Boots points too, which made it extra great!!! |
Finally from Harvey Nics I bought the John Paul Gaultier Diet Coke bottles. I always buy the designer bottles, and this year they are just as fabulous as always.
So that was my weekend. I went to IKEA too but I won't bore you with the rubbish I bought or the pencils I stole :-)
Hope you are all well. Talk soon

April Glossybox
Well, after what felt like 60 years of waiting, the April Glossybox arrived! Yay!
Anyway, I was prepared for another meh box, but actually I was quite surprised! Well done Glossybox!
I received:
Caudalie VinosourceThirst Quenching Serum - Really weeny sample, but feels delicious. Looking forward to trying it out.
Inika Organic Eyeliner in Green Lagoon. Love this. Glides on. Really lovely shade. Love it!
Monu Enriched Body Cream, Smells gorgeous! Will put in my drawer at work for dry skin moments on the run probably.
Figs and Rouge Lip Balm in Peppermint and Tea tree. I love Figs and Rouge and this balm is delicious. So moisturising! Which is just what I need.
Finally I received some Philip B straightening Serum. Another small sample but worth trying out
So all in all I was pretty happy. Took ages to come and hope the May one arrives a little sooner; however for once, Glossy box has catered to my needs! At last!

Boots Haul ...again lol New DKNY Sweet Delicious
Hello xxx
I've been run off my feet with work so have a few blogs and some pictures to upload. But before I get round to that I thought I'd do another Boots haul. As you know, I am obsessed with Boots. In fact the girl who works at my local Boots called me by my first name the other day when I went in. Oops lol
Anyway, I only picked up a couple of things,so here we go...
The Lashes are by Eyelure, and were £5.65 I think. I bought them for a meal with the girls at work and they were so cute! Not too long, but really pretty.
I picked up a Rimmel Bronzer and the new Rimmel Fix & Perfect. I don't normally wear much Rimmel make up but I thought I'd try the primer out.
I've worn it a few times; it's not amazing but it's a nice base. It dried my skin a little though, so I probably won't be purchasing again.
I only got the bronzer because Boots had a 3 for 2 on makeup. It does it's job and is a pretty colour.
My most favourite purchase was the new DKNY Sweet Delicious in Creamy Meringue! When I walked in to the shop and saw all three bottles in cup cake cases on a pastel coloured display, I knew they were for me!!!
There are three new Limited Edition fragrances; Creamy Meringue, Pink Macaroon and Tart Key Lime.
I bought the beautiful Creamy meringue, which smells of delicious Lemon Meringue Pie. I can't stress how edible these fragrances smell! The Key Lime smells of zesty Key Lime Pie and the Pink Macaroon is glorious, it reminds me of sherbet and cotton candy. Utterly delicious. The meringue fragrance swayed me though. Absolutely beautiful. I could just eat it!!!
I never, EVER, buy my own fragrances. I'm not massively in to perfume; I mean I get it for Christmas etc, however, you know a perfume must be great, if I spend my hard earned cash on it! lol
Let me know if you've tried one of the fragrances-I'm so tempted to buy Pink Macaroon too!
