Maybelline Baby Lips Hit The UK!!!

I was very excited when I walked into Superdrugs to fine that the Maybelline Baby Lips are now in the UK. I have read and seen a lot of americans rave about these. I think the real question is whether or not the Baby Lips are worth the hype. In the case of the Intense Care version which I purchased, I have to say yes! This lip balm keeps my lips looking soft and hydrated throughout the day which is all I could really ask for, and the sun protection makes this even more perfect as a summer staple if you're still waiting to go on holiday. I'd still quite like to try one of the coloured versions of the Maybelline Baby Lips, preferably Pink Punch, but for now I'm very happy with my purchase. The Baby Lips cost £2.99 which I'd happily pay again for a very hydrating lip balm. 

Autumn/Winter'13 Trend:This is England

I am in love with this Autumn/Winter trend. It's all very 80's style and cool but understated...just think of Cara Delevingne's style. I have already purchased an oversized, acid wash denim jacket and a borg jacket...now I'm on the hunt for a classic bomber jacket. Also, I get very attracted to tartan pieces whenever I go into shops...my eyes are drawn to them so with this trend it is very likely that tartan will be everywhere. But the thing about this trend is that most of the stuff I have bought for it my dad used to own when he was my age. I wish my dad kept his old clothes...would save me money. 

This is the borg jacket I got recently from Topshop...I am in love. This paired with leggings, chelsea boots and a tartan scarf would be perfect. 

This mixed tartan shirt is on my wish list. This will go perfectly with this trend. This is oversized but without being too big and is a great fit. 

I have also purchased this oversized jumper from boohoo.com. It is very soft and vintage-looking. 

My favourite trend in a long time. Love it!!

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends: Review

I don't usually get very excited about hair products as I have never found anything that has amazed me. However, I bought the Herbal essences beautiful ends shampoo and conditioner (just because it was on sale and needed some) and this has turned out to be fantastic. I have always loved the scents of herbal essences products but didn't really do anything different compared to other brands but to my surprise, even after the first use, my hair felt so much softer and more manageable. This shampoo and conditioner is perfect as I have dry hair due to straighteners and hair dye, and for the first time in years my hair feel a lot healthier. I will definitely be buying this again and I highly recommend if you have dry hair like mine.

Original Polly Pocket Necklace

Oh childhood memories came flooding as soon as I saw these gems on dollybowbow.co.uk. If you're an 80's or 90's chick as well then you will definitely remember polly pocket. Almost every young girl had these of a variety of different themes. They came in little shell-like homes and I would play endlessly with them. Then polly pocket changes and got bigger with jelly clothing and polly pocket was never the same again.....sadly. 

Here are some pictures of the original polly pockets for you to remember fun memories: 

After reminiscing about the toys I had as a kid, I couldn't not get an original polly pocket necklace. Unfortunately, they're are one and only's so once they go....they go. I managed to snap up the last blonde polly to go thankfully as a brunette polly just wasn't me. If you would like one then check out the link to see if there's any left: http://www.dollybowbow.co.uk/jewellery/383-vintage-polly-pocket-jewellery-limited-edition.html

Darks in The Sunshine: Summer Trend

A surprising summer trend for 2013 is dark shades. This is exciting as you can keep things looking cool and chic instead of opting for the typical vest and shorts. The high-street shops are only just started to bring out this trend but I'm sure by August, dark colours in fetching shapes will be everywhere. Below a few bits from affordable stores.

If I Were Rich: Smock Dresses

It's sad sometimes being a poor student; seeing gorgeous clothes and not being able to buy them. What I have been lusting over just lately is smock dresses. I think for skinny people like myself, smock dresses look great. They are so comfortable and so effortless looking. The best place to go for some gorgeous smock dresses (in my opinion) is ASOS. Here some that I wish I can buy:

Pug Crop Top

I got this overly cute pug crop top a few weeks ago from Ark. I saw this first a few months ago and when I saw it again I just had to have it. This was the only one left (I can see why since its adorable) and was in a size extra small; so I think that was destiny. I love pugs; they're one of my favourite dog breed, they are just so cute. I also like how it is black and white but with a coloured tongue, makes it a bit more fun and unique. I have been wearing this just lately with a grey vest underneath and black legging. However, in the summer, I will be wearing this with high waisted, vintage-looking denim shorts. This top goes perfectly with red lips and nails, with a gold chain necklace to accessorize.
