February Favorites 2011

Okay, so this will be a post of my favorite products/clothing etc in February this year! 

• UGG Australia

I have two pairs of UGG's but I wear the Classic Shorts the most now as my Bailey Button's are slightly too big for me. They're super cozy for Autumn + Winter. I know some people may not like them as they're on the pricey side + they find them 'UGGly' but I adore them ^^

• TRESemmé Thermal Recovery shampoo + conditioner

RRP: £4.07 each

I tend to use a lot of heat on my hair which I know, causes a lot of damage. So in order to keep my hair in nice condition, I use shampoos + conditioners aimed at damaged hair.

I came across TRESemmé's Thermal Recovery range + decided to give it a go after reading good reviews about it. 

Results? My hair feels super soft after only just one use! This is highly recommended for those who are looking for shampoos/conditioners for damaged hair ~

• Body Shop: Born Lippy (raspberry)

RRP: £2.00

I've been using this lip balm a lot these days as I like to keep my lips moisturized. I wouldn't say its the best lip balm to keep your lips moisturized but it does give a tint to your lips which is something nice ^^

• LUSH Dream Cream

RRP: £10.25

I use this almost everyday to moisturize my face. Although it's a hand + body lotion, I use it on my face the most =P

Although it's slightly on the pricey side, I would highly recommend this product to those looking for a good moisturizing cream as it instantly moisturizes your face, leaving your skin feeling soft!

• Hollister

Okay, I've slightly become obsessed with Hollister these days... I'm not buying from there just because everyone has it. I buy from there because I find that their clothes are of good quality + I like the 'SoCal' look which basically, only Hollister has the SoCal style. 

My collection is starting grow as I now have over ten pieces of clothing from there... 

• PANDORA Jewelery 

I've posted a blog post on PANDORA before, you can find it here if you want to read it ^^

I have three different PANDORA bracelets but my silver clasp bracelet is my most favorite one out of the three. It's basically a just charm bracelet where you can add charms on to remember those memories (=

Just a more creative photo ~

Hope you guys enjoyed reading my February Favourites!

Let me know what you guys think! ^^

NOTD: Nails Inc Caramel

Nails Inc: Caramel

I love this nail polish, it was part of Nails Inc's Diet Coke promotion in Boots a while ago. I would say it's a beige/nude color which is something that I like as I'm always wearing nude colored nail polishes these days.

I would say it dries pretty quickly! It also gives fabulous shine + a nice caramel color in just two coats! It's great for everyday wear as it's a nice neutral colour ^^

What do you think of Nails Inc's Caramel?

LUSH: Magic Mushroom Review

Description: Magic Mushroom has two distinct scents. In the red cap, there's the nostalgic fragrance of our Yummy Yummy Yummy shower gel (sniff); and in the white bit, we've used our signature creamy vanilla scent. Together, it blends to give you bubbles that smell like a bowl of fresh strawberries covered in cream. There won't be mushroom for anyone else in your life - or bath - when you've got one.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I purchased this Magic Mushroom from LUSH last year not this year. Although it may not be as fresh as when I bought it, the scent of the bubbles still smelt really good!

What does it smell like? Well, the red mushroom bit smells like strawberries + the white bits smell like vanilla. Combine them together + they smell like strawberries + cream (or strawberries + vanilla)!

I divided the bubble bar into two parts + used only the white bit. I then crushed them up into smaller particles so they form bubbles quicker when under running water!

As you can see, there are a lot of bubbles!

Okay... maybe too much bubbles ^^" 

Anyway, I would highly recommend LUSH's Magic Mushroom bubble bar to anyone. It gives a really nice fruity strawberry smell + also leaves your skin feeling smooth although it doesn't mention this in the description. 

Have you tried LUSH's Magic Mushroom bubble bar yet? If not, you better hurry as it's limited edition!

OOTD - 3 (ft. Lipsy London, Links of London, H&M + Primark)

My family + I went out for a gathering today so I decided to take a few quick snaps of the outfit I wore today before I left ^^

I would classify this outfit as an outfit you would wear to formal events, not something I would normally wear ~

Necklace - Given by a friend

Dress - Lipsy London

Cardigan - H&M

Bracelet - Links of London (Sweetie Collection)

The whole outfit!

My black heels were purchased from Primark as they were the only nice ones I found when shopping for a New Year outfit earlier this year. I was going to purchase some Kurt Geiger ones but I was running low on money at the time ^^"

Where do you usually buy your heels from? Any shop recommendations?

Homemade Baked Strawberry Cheesecake!

Yesterday, my Mother + I went out to Tesco to buy some ingredients for making a Baked Cheesecake. However, we were about to make the cheesecake + realized we forgot to buy digestive biscuits! How silly ^^"
I ended up making the cheesecake today by myself because my Mother had to work today. So here it is!

What do you think? It tastes so good! The addiction of the strawberries makes the cheesecake taste extra nice!

If you want the recipe, you'll be able to find it here ^^

I know it says 'Raspberry' baked cheesecake but I replaced the raspberries with strawberries as I prefer strawberries better ~

OOTD - 2 (ft. Vivienne Westwood, Zara, H&M + Primark)

Today's a rather nice sunny day so I thought to do an OOTD seeing as it's been a while.

This is basically just a casual + comfortable yet fashionable outfit which you could wear out + about or just at home!

Necklace - Vivienne Westwood

Cropped Jumper - H&M

Tapered Trousers (including belt) - Primark

Blutchers - Zara

The whole outfit!

I would highly recommend tapered trousers for this Spring/Summer as they're really comfy + stylish! I also feel that they're gonna be one of the trends this year ^^

What do you think of the outfit?
