Taylor Swift Wonderstruck

So this perfume has done plenty of rounds in the online blogging beauty land so why not add too that?

 First of all the Bottle... it's so mesmerizing i could just sit there for to long more than i care to admit just moving it to catch the light, just to see the holographicness look amazing but who does that. Not me......

I bought this on a whim without even testing it out just because i wanted to try it and the price it was at, was too good to miss. But i have to say that whim paid off and it is surprisingly a really good scent. 

To me it smells fresh full of fruity sweet vanilla notes but it's described to have apple blossom, peach and raspberry + many others none of which i can detect, but regardless it's a beautiful girly scent and it reminds me of a Bratz doll i once had which came with it's own perfume. So all in all i get the hype around this little bottle of amazing'ness and for the price it's so worth a try. 

I picked up the 30ml Eau de Parfum for £13 at boots but at the moment you can get the 50ml bottle for £17.40  Bargain!

Have you tried this perfume would you agree with all the hype?

Benefit They're Real Mascara Review

 I purchased Benefit's They're Real Mascara a few days before Christmas for a gift to myself as you do and boy i'm glad i did, it's just wow.

Upon using this mascara i didn't realize that it has a plastic bristled brush something i don't get on well with but i persevered for the sake of £18 pounds and now i can't stop using it. I like it that much I've abandoned all my others because it's really that good. 

It intensify's, lengthens and makes my fair coloured lashes look amazing and even with my oily eye lids and skin it stays put throughout out my working day which is perfect and just what i want from just ONE mascara! 

Also i have found it doesn't clump and the best thing about it is the spiked bristles at the end of the brush not only does it help to separate the top lashes it's a savior in helping to coat my bottom ones too.

The little instructions that come in the box work a treat and help get the best out of this mascara to.

Such an amazing product so worth the price tag.

Loverdose Diesel

After about a year or so of smelling this perfume i finally decided it had to be mine. It's been around for quite some time, but now it's finally mine. Diesel Loverdose in my eyes is much more of a mature scent for myself.....

As i'm the kind of girl who sticks to scents full of sweet, citrus'y fruity goodness.

 I like to try new things so this defiantly appeals to me as it's not totally different to others i use. 

So the best way for me to describe this is it's, earthy, woody, sweet orange'y with i feel a hint of floral'ness going on once it's settled onto clothing and skin. 
The names quite fitting considering that doom depressing day is looming upon us (valentines day!) and although the website description feels you with hope and a chance that you WILL have a line of attractive men trailing behind you i wouldn't be able to say that's 

happened but one day most likely in my dreams....

Moving swiftly on, i love this Eau de Parfum and it's so worth a sniff next time your out doing some shopping. I purchased the 30ml bottle from boots at £32.40 as they have 10% off selected fragrances at the moment, but if you fancy something a little lighter they also do this in a Eau de Toilette version with a slightly different scent which is just as good but i just preferred this one.
Also it's staying power is great it fizzles out throughout the end of the day but the scent is still detectable which is a bonus! 

What's your all time favourite signature scent?

Some Elf Bits

Sticking with the hauling theme i ordered just a couple bits from elf and thought i'd give them there own post. Now after umming and arring for the past god knows how long deciding whether or not to buy the real techniques brushes (I THINK I SHOULD HAVE! INDECISIVENESS IS TO BLAME) i ordered some elf ones instead, these are my first impression after using them for a around a month or so.....

 Blush brush £3.75

After buying the one from the £1.50 range a while back i decided to get this one too. On trying this out i can't fault it does do a good job with the application of blush/bronzer (just what you need) and is so worth the £3.75 i payed, also on the plus side it's soooooo soft and so much better the the cheaper brush.

Stipple Brush £3.75

Reading the many reviews on this brush the skeptic inside me wanted to try so i did. Surprisingly i am surprised (i'm easily pleased sort of) but i really really like this brush used in conjunction with my elf powder brush. I wouldn't say it will be long lasting if you use it every single day as the bristles seem to invert into the middle of the brush (but that just might be me and my uncarefulness.....) other than that though it's a must have to try before investing in a more higher priced one i think. I have to say too i definatly perfer this style of brush rather than my no7 or elf flat foundation brushes.

Powder Brush £3.75

This is my 'buffing brush' which works well to add the finishing touches to my foundation (i can't compare it to anything because, well i don't have anything flat edged like this) it also works well for its original purpose if appliying compact or mineral powder just like any other brush but i have found that you can press product into the skin and buff of the excess a lot easier (a technique i learnt from the gossmakeupartist!) as it's quite dense and structured better than just a regular fly away bristled brush.

Eyelash & Brow Wand £1.50

This was completely one of those impluse buys but i'm so glad it was! It's so useful in helping to distribute product more evenly in my eyebrows and helps separate my lashes taking away any clumps of mascara. I just wish i'd of bought two one for each purpose because cleaning it is a pain!

Oil Blotting Sheets £1.50

Next up a life saving essential there's not much i can say other than they do there job pretty well without leaving any residue on the skin which is what i like best about them making them a reacurring purchase of mine.

Blush in Tickled Pink £3.75

This is the most disappointing of the lot it just didn't live up to my exceptions, when i first got it i swatched the product and nothing... nothing was on my finger it just didn't show up but after rubbing it it did eventually show up! The product it's self though has a lovely soft velvet'y texture, it's just not got much pigmentation which i defiantly think you can find in products even cheaper than this one. Although it was a let down the bright side is i'm super pale so it shows up ever so slightly but i don't think i'd repurchase anymore of them.

What's your favourite ELF product and/or your biggest let down?
