As I have mentioned before, I absolutely adore Jo Malone products. I bought this a while ago, as you probably noticed from the far from full bottle, but I couldnt help myself bringing this smell to Glasgow.
I had smelt a few of the other scents from the range, including the fairly new one of them - Earl Grey and Cucumber which is lovely, fresh and summery. Its a bit like what a Pimms nr 1 is in drinks, but in perfume.. definitely investing in that when we get some more sun-time. But it was this one which took my fancy for this time of year. Like the Angel Cocoa Powder Limited Edition perfume which I blogged about the other day, its really heady and sensual, a proper evening perfume (I have cheekily worn it during the day as well. Lets just say its a weekend scent). J thinks it smells like cider.... honestly, cannot smell that myself!
I bought it in the York Jo Malone when I was over there on my day off a few weeks ago. I had a day to myself and went for a little shopping spree and lunch. On my own! No I actually enjoyed it, it was very expensive though, no one to hold me back haha
This I paid £38, which I think it quite expensive for 35ml, but then this is a fantastic scent and its nice trying something different than all the big perfume brands.
Absolutely lush. Lives in my bag! And will definitely stay there too.
Hope youre enjoying your weekend?

I have been spoilt rotten recently. I got a Michael Kors watch for Christmas, which I had asked for(!) when walking past a retailer in town, but when opening it on Christmas morning and trying it on, I decided it just wasnt for me. SO I took my pressent back. The shame.
Short of the very long is, they didnt have the Rosegold MK5128 in, and therefore I had to wait for quite some time for it to come in. So it wasnt actually till about 3 weeks ago that they got it back in stock and I immediately pounced. Or well, J did. So this is my new baby, so shiny an pretty and absolutely to die for. At first I wasnt sure as the colour goes best with suntanned skin. Living in the UK, thats not something that happens - ever! Also, what jewellery would I wear with it? I have afterwards been out buying a few pieces to match, including a pair of Swarovski Crystal Earrings as they usually come with silver.
Its incredibly heavy, but such a statement. And I do understand its all about smaller watches now, but Im not giving up these two just yet. Theyve come to stay. Both now retail at £229 and is Michael Kors' most famous style of watch // anywhere selling Michael Kors will undoubtedly have these in stock (or will be able to order them in).
In one of my previous posts I mention wearing the Gold Mid-Size Chrome watch. I still have this, but wanted something a bit different, shiny and new - for special occassions. So far, this has lived on my wrist ever since I got it.
There isnt a HUGE difference, but the dial is definitely the giveaway. (Note the date on the Gold is wrong as I havent actually worn it for the past 3 weeks // its on holiday).
I have quite a few more things up my sleeve. Please stick around. It will arrive soon :)

I dont have a lot of interesting new products to show in this, but its great finally getting some of the old half empty bottles out of the way.
However, I have found this Schwarzkopf Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner which is absolutely delightful and makes you think of summer and lovely warm days.
The Bourjois Nail Polish Remover was a godsend when my flatmate bought it for me for Christmas. It retails at £6.99 in the Bourjois counter and will be repurchased, just so quick and usable. Pecksniff's Body & Massage Lotion £21 is a gorgeous Lavender Body Lotion. It is super light, not oily at all which makes an ideal choice (this gets technical ;) for blending your Sun Shimmer (or any other instant tans for that matter). Now here is what Ive found. If you blend in a body lotion with the instant tan, it doesnt only last a little longer, as it soaks into the skin rather than sitting on top of the skin thus looking more natural. It also leaves out that disgusting biscuit smell which follows the sun shimmer. Id also like to add that I only ever use this for "special nights out" as applying tan is not something I do on a daily basis.
The bodyshop shea-butter is a favorite of mine. Long summer-nights, sun-burnt skin and champagne cocktails springs to mind. You can never get enough of this stuff at £4.99. The Radox Berry Burst is lovely and summery too! Think I picked it up for £0.90 at Boots.
The Clarins Relax Bath and Shower Gel and Clarins Foot Beauty Treatment Cream are both lush products. So is the Sanctuary Spa Face wash, which I buy whenever Im going away on breaks (We have just been to Glasgow, and I will do a post on some of the things I purchased from there).
Sorry this isn't the most inspiring post, but I promise there will be more soon. I have got some great things which I cannot wait blogging.
Hope you have a Friday / start to the weekend.
Lots of love
