First of all I headed to New Look and purchased a beautiful Japanese inspired print satin blouse. It's navy blue with a white flower/swallow print. The smooth satin material just drapes beautifully, perfect for wearing with leggings or tight skinny jeans. It's only 22.99 and perfect for those of you that are value driven but still want to look on trend.
I'm a really big fan of big chunky statement rings at the moment, so, again from New Look, I purchased a grand looking golden knuckle-duster ring with a baby pink opal-like gem in the middle to accentuate the elegance of the ring. The only problem is that it's quite uncomfortable to wear, so it's only really suitable for a night out or a special occasion.
I also had a gander on the New Look website and ordered some gorgeous acid pink skinny jeans, they're only 27.99 and perfect if you're going for that country look with a bit of an edge- they're very versatile and perfect for either a night out, a date, a festival or even to wear to work. New Look also do these in an even lighter pink; a shocking pink; lemon yellow; blue; cream and grey...
Next I went to boots to stock up on fragrance and beauty essentials. Without a shadow of a doubt you can always guarantee that i'll be wearing perfume/body spray. My all time favourite fragrance is 'Chanel Coco Eau de Parfume spray', it's such a sophisticated scent and the bottle will keep for a long time as you only need a tiny spritz for the smell to last all day. I didn't have the time or money to splash out on my favourite Chanel so I went around looking for some bargain buys. I found one that smelt sweet and fruity and it was only £4.95. It's called 'Charlie pink- by revlon', it doesn't last very long so i found myself having to spray a vast amount for the scent to stick- but it's definitely worth it.
A LITTLE TIP: Before spraying the perfume, add a few blobs of body butter onto your skin, you'll find the scent lasts longer and you get a nice smelling moisturizer- if like me you have sensitive skin and can't often use the scented moisturizers.
I have very long eye lashes and don't often need to wear layers and layers of mascara, but on a night out i love to really go for it and go all out with my eye make-up. I absolutely love the new 'million lashes' by L'Oreal but it's more of a day time mascara and it isn't water proof. The one I found and absolutely adore is Bourjois' 'volume clubbing ultra black' mascara. It's got a really intense thick brush and I only need to apply one layer of it to give me that glamorous look. It's only 5.99 instead of 10.99 at the moment- so go buy it!
Unfortunately I have very sensitive skin and am allergic to certain fake tans. I always smother my skin in palmer's body butter before i go to bed as it's extremely soothing and firms the skin. There's a new gradual tan out that palmer's have just introduced, I haven't used fake tan in a very long time but Palmer's has always been good to my skin so I thought i'd give this one a go! It's called 'Natural Bronze' and it seriously works within about an hour of applying. There's only one shade and it adjusts itself to your skin tone, it smells like the normal moisturizer so there's none of that dreaded fake bake after smell. It pretty much does what it says on the bottle, and hasn't irritated my skin one bit. Perfect!
