Wishes...

So whilst on a break from revision yesterday I decided to do a bit of online 'window' shopping, as you do, anyway I came across I few things that i've sort of fallen in love with, and also I couple of things i've had my eye on. So I thought i'd do a little wishlist type post.

So the first thing is this amazing Union Flag scarf from Zara, Zara is killing me with this season I would buy everything if I had the money! I love this scarf though, much in the style of the flag scarves from J Crew I think. It's £15.99 which I don't think is too bad at all!

Next up is Caudalie's Vinosource Serum, yes I have done a post on this already after recieving the sample in April's GlossyBox, I can safely i'm a convert, I love this product and i'm completely gutted that my sample has run out. I'm literally champing at the bit to purchase the full size but my bank account won't let me until pay day! It's £26.10 on Feelunique.com which is a bit steep but i'd be happy to pay that because its a great product.

I love these shoes, I have no idea what I would wear them with or when I would wear them but I've fallen in love with them. They are from River Island for £28 which is pretty reasonable for shoes nowadays unless you head to Primark.

I adore this padlock bag, another River Island gem and it's only £25 which I think is great value as its not a tiny bag and River Island bags are usually good quality.

Now this comes on my Mum's recommendation, she has used Decleor products for years and she let me try this while I was home for Easter and I loved it. It made my skin feel amazing and so so soft. It's Decleor's Phytopeel Face Peel Cream and you can get it for £23.40 on Feelunique.com.

Now everyone know's I love my rose gold so this just draws me in straight away. Elizabeth Arden's Rose Aurora collection and this is the pure finish highlighter which looks lovely and something I'd love to try. It's currently on offer at Debenhams for £20.70, which yes its pretty expensive for a highlighter so definitely a wishlist product!

What items are currently on everyone else's wishlists?

New found love!

I have a new found love...great for my skin, not so great for my bank balance! I recieved a sample of the Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum in myApril Glossybox and have used it everyday since, as you can probably see because its now flattened! I love this product! Honestly I wasn't too sure at first because it is very watery and I couldn't see how it was going to do my skin any good, but since starting using my skin has felt so much better.  It's felt really hydrated and i've had no dry patches like I normally do. It smells lovely, really fresh and clean, so its nice to use in the morning to start the day off. All in all i'm very impressed and now very sad that i've run out of this. I will definitely be purchasing the full size, I think it will be a treat when I complete my exams, it is pricey, i've found it on Feelunique.com for £26.50 and you get 30ml, ouch but I love the way it feels on my skin and its done wonders for any dry spots I had so I think its definitely worth it. Also with these types of products I definitely think you get what you pay for, 'buy cheap buy twice' that's what my mum has always said about skincare and I think she's right.

Does anyone have any other Caudalie recommendations? I'm now eager to try some of their other products :)

First GlossyBox April 2012

So I just got back from a quick stop into uni to pick up a shed-load of books for my revision and dissertation proposal and I was greeted with the April GlossyBox, which is my first experience of the GlossyBox's so needless to say I was quite excited. This won't be a review of any of the products because obviously I haven't had time to try them, but once i've given them all a try i'll give a review. So first off this month's is described as the 'Natural Beauty' box.

Obviously not the usual pink colour which I was expecting, but I actually really like this packaging. It's like homemade paper, in an oatmeal colour which is nice for spring and fits very well with their 'natural' theme, plus its 100% biodegradable, which is great, however I will probably keep the box to store bits and bobs in as its a cute size for on my shelves!

These are the products;

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum, which i'm very excited to try as i've heard good things about Caudalie but never tried any of their products.

Inika Organic Eyeliner in Number 11 Sapphire, this is a a deep metallic navy colour, i'm not a massive fan of moving out of the browns/blacks for eyeliner but its such a nice looking colour that i'm willing to give it a go!

Monu Enriched Body Cream, This sounds like an interesting product as it's got marine collagen, vitamin A, E and B5 in, so it should be pretty good. It's got quite a strong rose smell which might be offputting to some but I quite like it.

Figs and Rouge Lip Balm Peppermint and Tea Tree, Now this I have tried on my lips already as I love anything to do with peppermint for the lips and I like it a lot. It's a multi-purpose product always a bonus so you can use it on your body and face if you have a really patch of skin anywhere. It smells so good and its quite an oily consistancy which is good if your lips are super dry. So i'll definitely be using that a lot.

Philip B Drop Dead Straightening Balm, I feel that this might be the least useful product in this box for me, I've got dead straight hair naturally which is always quite limp so i'm not sure how i'll get on with this, but it could be good if my hair is being particularly frizzy or uncontrollable when the weather gets warmer so I'll give it a try and see how it goes!

All in all i'm really happy with my first box, and will definitely continue to subscribe as its a great way to try before committing to the full size price (also another good thing about GlossyBox they give you the full size prices on the product list, which is always good to know incase you want to purchase after trying the product). So I'll enjoy trying out these products and would definitely recommend GlossyBox, if you're interested you can subscribe at http://www.glossybox.co.uk/.
