Thierry Mugler Cocoa Angel

I saw this perfume in Ville de Senlis just outside Paris last year and kicked myself when I didnt buy it. Angel is, and has been for many years, my favourite perfume and my staple scent. So when I saw this, a limited edition with magnified with bitter cocoa powder, which has heavy notes of, well funnily enough, cocoa. So when I saw it in Debenhams for a mere £64 (ouch! for 35mL) I knew I had to get it. Im so happy I did, but it is purely a once in a while perfume as I am well aware that I probably wont be able to get another one of these. Sadly! Its heavy and sexy and is one of my ideal perfumes. 

If you like Angel and use it as an everyday perfume like myself, this is a great evening alternative. Although, I think Ebay would probably be your best shout for one of these as they were limited and I think I bought the last one in my Leeds department. Not sure how long theyre going to be around for.

Have a great night!

Seche Vite Top Coat

This has got to be one of my favourite products! These are strong words, however, I have been nothing but impressed since purchasing it. 

It was my flatmate who introduced it to me when I complained my own had gone gloopy! I have previously used Good To Go by Essie and to be honest, thought that was an amazing product. Until I tried this. It just lasts those few days longer. 

I HATE chipped nails, it just isnt very professional and gives a terrible impression that you dont take care of yourself. I Love having my nails done as they last a good 3 weeks, but its not often I can afford a £35 splashout every 3 weeks. SO I use my general nailvarnish (however many layers are required) and then use a topcoat. This is a fast-dry version of the kind. And it thoroughly works. 

So if youre looking for a great new topcoat which just lasts that little bit longer, this is the one!

Hope you all have a great weekend out there :)

M.A.C Matchmaster 1.5

Ok, I gave in. I promised myself I wouldnt overdose on foundation this time, but a breakout mixed with a good january wage meant I have now acquired nothing less than 3 foundations in the last month...

I just have to see if this is the one gives my skin a little break from the heavy Doublewear. Well that was what I told myself to justify this. This is the 4th time I have repurchased since I tried it at a 'MAC Makeover' in feb last year .. I just love it. The smell reminds me a tad about paint, but the feel on the skin definitely weighs it up. Its a great product for any M.A.C- lover. 

I chose 1.5 which is very pale.... and on the cold side of foundations. But mixed with my other foundation, its a great match, this way, I can also tailor it to suit my skin on more overcast days where you dont want to look too yellow (as its horrid and stands out during the light hours).

Its quite a lot more covering than the other foundations I have tried by M.A.C but it keeps my skin dewy which I need during the cold wintertimes. 

If you feel like you want to try something new this one isnt a bad choice of foundation, I can imagine it would be a good all-around - and it comes in a good range of colours too! At a cost of £25, its not too bad either. 

Hope youre all great!!! 

Love,

Mulberry Accessories

There are great things happening in my household at the moment. Have been a very spoilt little girl, not only by the boy but by myself as well! 

Cannot wait for Valentines day, I dont even celebrate it(!) but this year I felt like doing something nice for my other half. 

I have a few Ace's hidden up my sleeve. I would love to hear what youre doing, get recommendations and ideas youre planning to do. Pinterest has been a great inspiration, there are so many great ideas on there - get on it if youre struggling. Please send links my way if any of you have something spectacular planned :)

Hope youve had a great Weekend.

Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference

I have been given this as a present as I was complaining my skin was disgustingly dry and in a horrible condition. I have read a few reviews about this product to find out what I had been given. I will say, the smell is not very pleasant. Overall, im not impressed. Although, my skin got a bit better as it really needed some TLC its not back to the usual but its definitely on the right track... 

Despite not really liking neither the smell nor the texture, it is value for money as it is quite a substantial amount in such a small pot. 

I still wouldnt repurchase, quite disappointing for such a 'high-end brand'. I can see this ending up in the back of the drawer or being demoted to my boyfriends' house as emergency stach. Eek. Harsh.

Have a good weekend, guys.
