Nina Ricci; Accessorize; Sex & The City

I recently went on a shopping spree in search for new, more expensive and designer cosmetics so that i can compare them to the high street brands (e.g. Rimmel London) and really find out what all the fuss is about. I hate to admit it but the designer products really are so much better. I went into House of Fraser and found lots of Nina Ricci products for a very decent price. 


First of all I bought a Nina Ricci bronzer in the shade Orange Poudre, it comes with a little mirror and is perfect if, like me, you like to build up that summer glow along the cheekbones and jawline. It lasts for hours and there is no need to reapply throughout the day! 

All of the Nina Ricci products in House of Fraser are 2 for 1 at the moment so I decided to try a foundation too. I purchased a darker foundation in Apricot so that I have a suitable foundation to match the tan that I have got. I don't usually like really light or liquid foundations as they don't sit well on my oily skin and this foundation is a bit too oily for me. If you have very dry skin then this would be perfect as it adds an extra touch of moisture as well as a summery glow. It comes in a little glass bottle and looks very expensive- which is always nice.

Recently Accessorize have been launching some more beauty products, i've always been a huge fan of their nail polishes as they're long lasting and come in all different colours! I noticed they're selling lipsticks now and figured there would be some outrageous tints, so I took a gander! I purchased A bright pink lipstick in Velvet Pink, it's a really intense colour but it's really thick and creamy and feels wonderful on my lips, giving off that matte look. It comes in a little silver tube with a pretty diamante jewel on the top on the applicator.  

I love trying out different perfumes and I recently noticed a huge end of summer sale on the Sex & The City scents. It's a gift box set inc. 2 perfumes; a shower gel and a moisturizer. It was only £10 and I just couldn't resist! I purchased 'Sex in The City LOVE', it's got a pink theme running through it and it smells divine! The perfume is quite a light fragrance but it's perfect for keeping in your handbag to freshen yourself up on a night out or on a hot day. It's an ideal gift if you have a friend who's very girly and loves a sweet flowery scent.
