Cool and Carefree

Victorias Secret PINK Body mist in Cool&Carefree

I've had this mist for around 2 years now and when I first purchased it, I fell completely in love and devoted to spraying it constantly anytime I could. It lived in my bag for months as my trusty body spray for a little pick me up! Then suddenly we broke up and I just kind of stopped using it for no particular reason... until recently. I was sifting through my perfumes and sprays and this little beauty appeared back into my life. I have officially rekindled my love for this magical body mist.

Victoria's secrets PINK always has beautiful body mists and body butters among other body related items, but unfortunately the only way you can get a hold of them in the UK is in little shops dotted around that sell all beauty related items (such as Paks Cosmetic store in Finsbury Park, North London - I bought this there), I've honestly only seen them around North London and East London - You'll have to have a little google to find your local beauty store. I know Ebay and Amazon sell them but they're being sold for really silly prices along with an even worse postage cost. I know that there are Victoria's Secret stores in London now, but I personally haven't ventured into one so I wouldn't know if they sell PINK, too. I'm guessing they do?

The VS PINK lotions and potions are always packaged beautifully. They're VERY girly and the scents are divine. They always usually have complimentary Lotion for a perfume, which I think is lovely... it's always nice to have just one scent all over and not a mish mash of lotion in coconut for example and then a fragrance in mango....could probably cause a headache! I have yet to purchase any lotions but they are most definitely on my list.

Cool & Carefree smells just like its name. It's the most cooling, fresh scent whilst still managing to smell light and girly. I am no good at describing scents, so I won't bother trying! Just trust in the name ladies!

I have another body mist by VS that I will do a review on very soon, as I'm flitting between the two.

Have you tried any Victoria's Secret Lotions and potions? What's your favourite?

4. Real Techiniques Blush Brush 1407 £9.99

5. Nars Orgasm Blush £21.50

Hi guys,

I've just whipped up a list of what I've had my eye on over this month and haven't got round to buying yet...but I soon will!

1. The Ojon rare blend oil is a product I'm in dire need of because my hair is going through a really bad dry stage and it seems like no matter what I do, it just wont go back to being silky soft. I don't know if it's because I've dyed my hair red but it's starting to get on my nerves how damaged my hairs getting due to the dryness. If you have any suggestions I'm all ears, literally will do anything! Until then, I'm looking forward to purchasing this oil. I've heard good things about it.

 2. Philosophy is a brand I haven't had the pleasure of trying but I love how they look, since pictures of their products are all over Tumblr! I really want to give my skin a break and start wearing BB creams during the day. I was opting for the Garnier BB cream but then I laid eyes on this and its reviews I changed my mind! I read them all and all of them were really really flawless. So I think I'll be getting my paws on this one instead!

3. Garnier is a product that I am pretty familiar with on the other hand, and was one of the reason why I was going to get the BB cream. Even though I wont be getting the BB Cream, I will however be purchasing the Garnier caffieine anti-dark roll on concealer. I watch a lot of beauty guru's on Youtube and they all more or less use this! I love how it covers circles and prevents puffiness but still doesn't set in fine lines or go all cakey. Can't wait to try this!

4. I have the Real Techniques Core Collection and I'm pretty much set except I don't have anything to apply blush with, so this is a must have as Real Techniques are quality brushes. Everyone should own some.

5. Nars orgasm is a cult classic to be honest but I never really felt the need to run out and buy a high end blush, until recently. I've noticed my make up doesn't always look pulled together and I feel maybe a good quality blush would be the right road to go down. I've always been into that Victoria's secret blush vibe but can never find one that mimics their blush. I heard that Orgasm is one they use ( not sure they do though) but I'm excited to try this finally!

So that's it! What are the items you have your eye on at the moment?

What's in my bag?

Hi guys :)

I thought I'd do a what's in my bag! I find it interesting to see what people carry around with them on a day to day basis, and especially what products they carry, too. 

My bag isn't really packed with stuff, but I could certainly start flogging lip products with how many I carry about! Jeez! I never even realised. 

So let's start with my bag. So I bought my bag from Ebay for around £5.00, it came from Japan or China, and it used to have a strap but it broke :'-(! None the less it is a pretty sturdy bag, and carries everything I need and goes with pretty much everything. I can't seem to find it on Ebay at the moment but Ebay is fantastic for bags, so check it out.

 First thing is my 2013 diary I bought from Wilkinsons for just under £7. I needed it for work and college and to keep track of stuff as I have a horrible habit of writing important dates on random pieces of paper and then loosing them. This has well and truly sorted me out. I've been ill with flu recently and still recovering but back to work and college so I've had loads of packets of tissues lodged in my bag, and flu tablets in my purse...I'm prepared! I've got some fleece gloves for this horrible snow weather the UK is experiencing, and my trusty headphones (I broke my Iphone ones, boo!). I always carry Carex for getting rid of germs, and since being sick I'm blowing my nose constantly and I just use it after I've done what I've had to do. I don't like thinking I've helped to spread the germs for someone else to get sick too!

Like I said I have a hoard of lip products in my bag for some reason! I have two Vaseline tins (one Aloe Vera, one Crème Brulee which I think has been discontinued), I have Becca lip and cheek beach tint, Figs and Rouge rambling rose balm, the body shop's tinted lip balm in born lippy, Rimmel's Kate lipstick in 107 and Hello Kitty in Baby doll. Phew!

I then just have my keys and wallet from Primark. I also have a DIOR Perfume Sample from Vogue magazine that I keep in my bag to make it smell nice. Last but not least I have just a plain old deodorant from Superdrug, Charlie body spray in touch and Victoria's secret PINK Body mist in Cool & Carefree. I like to spray my Victorias secret during the day then my Charlie in the evening on top of perfume...don't ask me why haha.

so...that's it! I don't carry make up around like liquids or powders as I ALWAYS make my bag a mess, so I'm going to have to invest in a good make up bag, and maybe one of those bag organisers? 

What do you carry in your bag?
