Photo diary: Valentine's Day Pretties :)

Hi everyone!  It is never to late to share some pretty pictures. I took all of them on Valentine's Day.

You might have seen some snaps of all the gorgeous presents I received on Instagram and Vine.

It was a lovely day. I got beautiful flowers, chocolates and loads of makeup I have been dreaming about, including a Chanel blusher, Etude House blusher and lipstick and a YSL lipstick.

Nude and elegant :)

I wasn't sure about the title of this post, but I might get some serious traffic thanks to it :) haha. I love nude nail polish, I love nude shoes and accessories and I am always trying to add more nude pieces to my wardrobe. 
It is such an elegant colour and perfect for any occasion.

Red accents

Hi everyone. 

I hope you are having a great weekend. I promised to add more OOTD posts and to be honest, I really enjoy preparing them. Let me know if you want it to become a regular weekend thing :)
I based the outfit around the red Smile Tote bag*  from www.bagbooth.co.uk.
It is a bargain-only £25! Obviously, I wish I could own the Celine Smile Tote, but it ain't gonna happen :)

Review: Balance Me Super Toning Body Oil

Balance Me Super Toning Body Oil* £20.00

Review: ORTIGIA FICO D'INDIA EDP

Ortigia Fico D'India EDP* £55.00 via www.sugarbirdboutique.co.uk

"The most loved Ortigia Perfume – powdery fig & cedar. The famous exotic Fico India cactus with amazing orange flowers grows huge & wild in Sicily."

I received this gorgeous scent from the SUGARBIRD Lifestyle Boutique and since I discovered their website, I keep browsing it, looking at all the beautiful, unique products they offer. I was instantly drawn to the beauty section and I have to admit- I am now lusting after all Ortigia bath and body treats :)

Review: Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate

Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronze Concentrate* via www.biggreensmile.com  £26.95

"This is a Dr.Hauschka 2013 Hero product. Hero products are all highly-revered, award-winning products that produce brilliant, beautiful skin. Translucent Bronze Concentrate can be applied either on top of your usual moisturiser or mixed in, to help even out skin tones, soften blemishes and give a sun-kissed look.

I really like Dr.Hauschka skincare products and the Translucent Bronze Concentrate is the newest addition to my beauty stash. It is a multipurpose wonder in a bottle! It slotted into my skincare/makeup routine easily and I now use it every single day!  

Rose Tea with Balance Me

I couldn't resist sharing some photos of this lovely little parcel from Balance Me, along with a quick review of the rose scented products I have been trying out. I would like to add that I am not a fan of ordinary biscuits, but the lip and lip balm shaped Biscuiteers ones were absolutely delicious!!! *orders more*. 

I also really enjoyed the Rose Garden Tea by Twinings- yummy!

Review: JARDINS D'EDEN Indulge Dead Sea Bath Soak

New Look Plus Size Picks + Accessories

When I pick my outfits, I always put comfort first. I hate feeling uncomfortable. That's why my wishlist always looks the same- jumpers, oversized tops and dresses, denim shirts, leggings. 

If you had a chance to see any of my outfits, you will know that I live in massive jumpers :) haha

This spring, I am planning to experiment with colours and instead of getting a black jacket I will go for something different. I really like the Blue Boucle jacket and I am thinking about buying it. It looks smart but casual and I suppose that the shape would look flattering on me. 

Lazy Sunday :)

Review: One of the best lip products ever - Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer £5.99 via www.boots.com

"The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine.The earth-shattering lip lacquer from Rimmel London"

Another review of Rimmel Apocalips??? Sorry, It has to be done :) I really want to show you swatches of my favourite shades and apparently, many of you find my reviews very helpful and love seeing my photos of products and the way they look on the lips etc. 

Naked 2 dupe (?) MUA Undress Me Too Palette + review

I should have seen this one coming :) haha.  MUA released a palette called Undress Me Too and it is a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I am actually happy about that, because not everybody can afford the UD one for £36.00. The MUA dupe comes at a fraction of the price- a mere £4.
