Beauty Edit: Lancome La Vie Est Belle Pefume Review

Lancome La Vie Est Belle 30ml £42

I've always found it hard to write reviews on perfume... I mean, without getting someone to actually smell the bottle how are you supposed to get across the notes of a fragrance?! Lancome launched their newest perfume La Vie Est Belle last year and the scent is so delicious I wanted to share it with you!

Before picking up this bottle, one of my top 3 perfumes was Lancome Trésor Midnight Rose (the one in the purple bottle!) Just like Midnight Rose this perfume is very sweet but is a lot more citrusy, in particular orange blossom, so it's perfect for Spring/Summer!

This gorgeous scent was created by not just one perfumer... but 3 of France's top perfumers: Anne Flipo (creator of Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose), Dominique Ropion (creator of Thierry Mugler Alien), Olivier Polge (creator of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb). It's definitely not suprising that Le Vie Est Belle has been compared to Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb as Olivier Polge was bought on board!

The perfume comes in a spray glass bottle which has a square lid, it also has a cute little silver bow round the neck which reminds me of a neck scarf that a chic Parisian would wear!

This perfume has definitely stepped up to the favourites league. I've found I'm wearing it spray almost everyday (still saving the Chanel for nights out!) I spritz this around my hair, chest and wrists and it lasts all day. If you get a chance I would recommend giving it a spray at your local John Lewis/House of Fraser etc.. It's always good to keep an eye out for their gift sets too as you can usually get a body lotion chucked in for free!

Fashion Edit: Perfect Pastels

There's so many gorgeous pastels colours about at the moment I just want to get wrapped up in all of them like a bon bon and prepare for this cold chill we're expecting over in England!

I've picked out some of my fave's to share with you. Pastel Pink is definitely catching my eye the most, perhaps it's still some fascination with wanting to be Baby Spice?! I love the way you can match the colours together and it gives a real 60's vibe. Add the winged liner and lashings of mascara and you're ready to go!

1. Rosie for Autograph Silk & Lace Bra

2. Topshop Fluffy Swing Coat (Pale Pink)

3. New Look Blue Shrunken Knitted Jumper 

4. Topshop Wrap Lux Skirt (Pale Pink)

5. Topshop Chateau Leaf Pencil Skirt

6. Bourjois Paris So Laque Glossy Nail Enamel (Oh So Rose & Adora Bleu)

Blogger Secret Santa

Just before Christmas the gorgeous girls at Makeup Pixi 3 and A Scottish Lass organised a Blogger Secret Santa. The idea was that you would get matched with another blogger, you have to spend £15, and post them a little something for Christmas... I absolutely loved this idea and signed up straight away!

I was paired with the lovely Ani from ...and laugh at guilded butterflies and boy did she spoil me!!! Although Christmas is long gone (I pretty much shed a tear as the last bauble was taken down) I wanted to share with you all the goodies I received. There will definitely be some reviews and pictures of all the products soon!

Everything came wrapped is delicate tissue paper packed tight with gold coins and toblerones... it's Ani knew me well already!

 

Collagen Face Masks, Nail Varnishes, Skin Products... the list is endless!

Cannot wait to review this Sleek Mascara!

 

Porefessional, Lip Plump and Makeup Fixing Spray... I'm so happy with all my gifts!!!

 

Here's a little sneak peak at what I sent Ani!...

MAC Ravishing Lipstick - Product Review

MAC RAVISHING LIPSTICK 3.0g £15

MAC Lipsticks are one of my favorites... peach lipsticks are one of my favorites... what's better then a Peach MAC Lipstick?!

I was in MAC looking for Christmas presents when I got a bit distracted and started looking at what I would like. Needless to say I walked out of the shop with only one gift in hand, and that was for me!

 

MAC Ravishing is Cremesheen Lipstick - therefore meaning it glides on easily and leaves your lips moisturised. The colour is quite a dark matte peach. I apply this without lip liner and it lasts a good couple of hours before it needs topping up!

The colour is so pretty and I love to pair it with MAC Melba Blusher for that perfect peachy glow. I usually wear lipsticks at night but this can be applied lightly in the day and topped with a lip-balm for a more natural look.
