Summer Time Sadness - Summer Wishlist

Gooooood afternoon! Over the past few days it has been so sunny here in Scotland and actually really warm so it has totally been getting me in the mood for Summer!!! 
Summer is definitely my favourite season of the year as I just love wakening up with the sun shining through the curtains and love sitting out in it catching some rays! 
The one thing that I love most about it is wearing Summery clothes so I thought why not make a wish list with some summary items that I want for this Summer :)

Zoella Beauty

                          

You will all know by now (unless you've been living under a rock) that beauty blogger/vlogger Zoella launched her knew beauty products range last week and everyone has fallen in love with them.

I love Zoella and could not wait to get my hands on some of the products from her range. I went into Superdrug today and got my hands on the "Soak Opera" shower gel (£5.00), "Creamy Madly Dreamy" body lotion (£5.00) and "Blistful Mistful" body mist (£8.00).

Let me just say....the scent of these products are gorgeous, Zoe did so well at picking a scent that I am sure everyone will die for and also the packaging is soooooo nice!! There are 8 products all together and I chose these 3 because I felt I would use these the most and also I couldn't afford to get everything in the range at the moment so felt these were the best ones to choose. 

I think the price for the products are reasonable and not too expensive.

I cannot wait to use these in the morning during and after my shower! Let me know if you have tried any of the products from her gorgeous range.

Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs

                               

Let's all just take a moment and look at how gorgeous this bottle of Eau De Toilette is....*stares at it huge smile on her face* Haha! I have been wanting this for so long but I just could not justify spending £70 on a perfume. My boyfriends mum is going on holiday in October so I asked her to see how much it is at the airport since it's duty free however when I was out shopping yesterday at Livingston's amazing outlet centre I came across The Fragrance Shop.

So in I went to see if they had it, and there it was staring back at me screaming "buy me Gemma, buy me!!!." I thought there was no harm in asking the price of it so I went to the counter to ask about it. The lovely ladies at the counter told me the 100ml was only £55.99!! I couldn't believe it so didn't hesitate and bought it right away. The ladies were even nice enough to check their system to see if it was cheaper anywhere else but it wasn't. 

Since I was willing to spend this much on it, there was no point waiting for David's mum to come back from holiday to get it. 

It smells absolutely amazing as well!

June Glossy Box 2014 - Summer Edition

                         

Hey peeps, hope your Monday is a good one! It's time for my June glossy box! I received this the week it was despatched but I've been away from home so haven't had the chance to do a blog post on it so here it is now! :)

Before I start I just wanna say that I am getting more and more disappointed and I think it's time to unsubscribe for good. It's just annoying how this box and last box has makeup in it and I wont use it so it's just a waste. However, I am due a free box next month as I've collected enough glossy dots so there will be a July box and then we'll see :P.

Nailgirls - 3 in 1 base/topcoat & nail strengthener

"This new longer lasting top coat combines the perfect base and nail hardener in one easy to use product."

I don't own a top coat nail polish so this was quite good to receive although when I saw a nail polish I was quite disappointed as it wasn't coloured but hey ho it's good to have I suppose.

Application - " Apply the nail hardener and allow it to dry before applying your favourite colour. Allow that layer to dry before applying a final top coat."

Wow you guys must think I'm a right moan haha! It's just I should be received products that I would actually use...isn't that what our survey is for? I understand that they can't make individual boxes for everyone but at least throw in a couple of products that I'd actually use! :P Let's hope my free box is a good one!

Beauty Empties

Katy Perry Perfume "Meow" - I love this perfume! It smells so good, def in my top favourites! I was so sad when this ran out but when I made another trip to good old B&M I found a smaller bottle for only £5 just like the other one I found. My favourite thing about these perfumes is of course they are shaped like a cat haha!

P.S Love Your Skin Facial Cleansing Wipes - I go through these wipes so fast so it's great that you get 2 packs for £1 from Primark! I use them everyday and they make my skin feel so refreshing. They have different kinds of wipes so check them out! 

Vaseline Cocoa Butter - As you all know I can't leave the house without taking a tub of vaseline with me! I have the bad habit of biting my lips and picking the skin off them (I know sorry that's horrible!) so applying Vaseline to them makes them feel so much better. I have one in every bag incase I forget to pick one up haha. This is my favourite one. It smells amazing and feels so good on.

Soap and Glory Spray-ON Moisturising Mist - This leaves my skin feeling smooooooth like a baby's bum :P It also smells amazingggg. I've tried to get this again but can't find it :( So if anyone can find it let me know!

Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo - Dry shampoo is such a genius idea!  This has got to be my favourite scent as I love anything that smells of cherries. Makes my hair feel fresh and gives it a bit of volume.

May Glossy Box 2014 - 50 Years Of Superdrug

                              

Hey! If you're wondering what happened to my April glossy box post well I was a noob and lost my purse when I was on a night out so when the payment was due for that month I hadn't got my new bank card through so didn't have a method of payment to pay for it so I cancelled my subscription with glossybox. I told myself that I wasn't going to subscribe again since I've moved in with my boyfriend and now have bills to pay for but I couldn't resist!! Hahaha! So yeah, I subscribed again and now it's gone up to £13.95 a month which was a bit of a bummer but never mind. 

I was excited to see that this month they were collaborating with someone, and that someone just happened to be Superdrug! In my last post I wrote about Superdrug being 50 years old and they had some products that were brought out specifically for it. 

I'm not overly excited about the contents in my box as I received 2 make up items and I don't wear make up which makes me think they don't actually pay attention to the beauty profile they get you to fill out. However, there are 4 full sizes, 1 sample sized and 2 bonus samples. Anyways....here's what I got :)

Blowpro - After blow strong hold finishing spray

"Don't let the English weather make your hair-don't with blowpro's strong hold finishing spray. It conditions while it sets to provide you with a super woman-esque super-hold on your hair."

I'm quite excited about this one actually so can't wait to try this! This is a sample size.

Application - "Keeping the can 6-8 inches away from your hair, spray evenly acorss your style keeping the can in constant motion."

Full size - £11.99 for 283ml                              Shop at - www.superdrug.com

B. Complete Long-lasting Nail Polish 

"B.Complete provides intense colour with a high shine finish and has a wide brush providing a smooth and quick professional finish."

Was very happy to see a nail polish in the box as I love nail polish but this colour has probably got to be the worst colour ever! I wont use this! I've already received one of these nail polishes and it was in a great pink colour and I loved it.

Application - "Apply two coats of your favourite colour over B. First Base Coat. Allow time to dry between each coat."

Full size - £4.99 for 8ml                                     Shop at - www.superdrug.com

Scholl - Velvet Smooth Overnight Mask

"This night mask hydrates for up to 24 hours to give you soft beautiful feet while you sleep."

Meh....I might use this :P

Application - "Apply and massage onto clean, dry feet before going to bed and leave to work through the night. No rinsing required."

Full size - £7.99 for 60ml                                   Shop at - www.superdrug.com

I Love Cosmetics - Strawberries & Milkshake Shinner & Shine Lip Gloss

"Feel scrumptious with a burst of fresh strawberries and smooth yummy milkshake."

Wont use this as I don't like lip glosses! It does smell amazing though!

Application - "Smooth on to add a shimmery summer look to your lips."

Full size - £1.29 for 15ml                                    Shop at - www.superdrug.com

Collection - Bronze Glow Mosaic

"Get an all-year round natural-looking tan with a sweep of Bronze Glow Mosaic. Add a sunkissed shimmer of colour to highlight the face and body and add contouring to cheeks and collar bones."

Will not use this such a waste :(

Application - "After applying your foundation base, sweep a bronzing brush over the powder and tap the excess on the back of your hand. Sweep the bronzer over the cheekbones, forehead, nose and chin for a natural finish."

Full size - £2.99                                                    Shop at - www.superdrug.com

Garnier - Oil Beauty Lotion

"Infused with argan, macademia, almond and rose oil the Oil Beauty Lotion helps replenish the skin with moisture and reinforce its barrier function to prevent it from feeling dry, leaving your skin feeling softer and silky-smooth."

This sounds really good so will def try this out although it's only a foil packet which will only last one try.

Full size - £4.99 for 250ml                                   Shop at - www.superdrug.com

Ghost Fragances - Eclipse

"Capturing the warm energy of the sun, Ghost Eclipse evokes feelings of carefree abandon. Get lost in the moment and lift our spirits with this intoxicating and addictive fruity-floral fragrance."

This smells sooooo nice! I love Ghost perfumes!

Are you subscribed to glossybox?? Let me know what you think of this months box! :D

March Glossy Box 2014 - Beauty Blossom Edition

          

I'm just gonna start off this post with I think this months glossy box is rubbish! :( Sooooo disappointed! After a great box last month this one is so so poor! I got 2 perfume samples which I think shouldn't count as a product and I also received 2 make up items which I don't use as I don't wear make up!!! I don't see why we have to fill out the survey to find out what we like and don't like and then they end up sending totally opposite things! Ugh I am annoyed.....anyway here's what's in the box this month.

Mitchell and Peach - Body Cream    

"With English honey, organic cocoa, vitamin B5 and shea butter, this Mitchell and Peach body cream is perfect to leave you feeling as though you've taken a walk in the English countryside".

This is probably the only thing I like in the box. It smells soooo nice and the ingredients sound amazing so I'm excited to give this a try...my skin has been so so dry recently so maybe this will make it nice and smooth :).

Application - "Apply liberally after showering to leave your skin feeling soft and smelling beautiful".

Full size - £36.00 for 180ml                       Shop at - www.mitchellandpeach.com

Sleek MakeUP - Pout Polish     

"Strike a stunning selfie with Pout Polish by Sleek. This tinted balm is full of nourishment, and with SPF15, almond oil, shea butter and vitamin E, it will leave your pout looking perfect".

I've received the Pout Paints from Sleek before and didn't like them as they were very "in your face" and quite messy but this doesn't seem to be as bad. I did just give it a try and it's not as noticeable which is good for me as I don't like a colour on my lips. I think I'll give this a chance and then decide if I like it or not but yeah....wasn't exactly excited to see this but don't get me wrong...the colour is gorge, I got a pinky purple colour.

Application - "A little goes a long way, so use a small amount on the edge of your finger or lip brush for the best results".

Full size - £4.49 for 10g                                Shop at - www.sleekmakeup.com

Bellápierre Cosmetics Ltd - Shimmer Powders

"This 100% pure Mica shimmering eye shadow will provide you with a long lasting vibrant colour without smearing, creasing or fading".

Not impressed with this at all. Such a waste :( Who knows.....I might have a giveaway soon and include some of the products that I don't use in it :).

Application - "This powder is the ultimate multi-use product. As well as an eye shadow, it can be mixed into blusher, nail polish or lip gloss to create your own custom make-up! Check out Bellápierre's website for further uses and application techniques".

Full size - £12.99 for 2.35g                             Shop at - www.bellepierre.co.uk

Juicy Couture - Malibu Collection  

"Meet us in Malibu with Juicy Couture's Malibu Collection! This fragrance blends the spirit of carefree Cali with Glam LA and we love it!".

Okay....so these do smell reallllly good but still think it's bad that I got 2!!! 

Application - "Spritz on for scent of sparkling fruit and sensuous blossoms".

Full size - £47.00 for 75ml                             Shop at - www.debenhams.com/beauty/juicy-

Dove Hair Therapy - Intensive Repair 60 Second Treatment Shot

"Now you don't have to choose between beauty and hair care with this intensive treatment! It's the perfect pick-me-up for haircare in a hurry and you can even take it on holiday to revive damaged hair from the sun".

I will use this for def as my hair is in a not so good condition so wont let this go to waste but it's still a bit meh!

Application - "Use after shampooing for 60 seconds, avoiding the roots and rinse out for beautifully soft, strong hair with a keratin boost!".

Full size - £1.49 for 15ml                   Shop at - www.sainsburys.co.uk or instore at Superdrug.

Yeah so that's what I got. Were you happy with your box or were you disappointed as well? I keep saying this every time I get a rubbish box that I'm gonna see what next months is like cause I can't bring myself to cancel! Hahaha! Oh! And another thing I wasn't happy about.....they changed their delivery service which I think is worse now! I used to get my box the day after dispatch day at around 9am every morning which was excellent service I thought but now that most people have complained they weren't receiving their boxes as quick they've now changed the mailing service to Royal Mail which delays it for me now :( Look at me getting all grumpy....better go haha! Thanks for reading dolls! xoxo

Perfume Wish List

                

I love perfume and think perfume bottles are a must have for your dressing table as an accessory. The most important thing a perfume must have except for the smell of course, is a nice bottle. It has to be pretty and just be amazing really. I think it says a lot for the perfume and obviously is a massive selling point for it. These are just a few perfumes I have wanted for a while and wanted to share with you. If you'd like to see my perfume collection then holla at me bro in the comments....haha!

1. Marc Jacobs - Honey from £39.00

2. Nina Ricci - Nina L'eau Eau De Toilette from £35.00

3. Katy Perry - Purr £11.95

4. Juicy Couture -  Viva La Juicy Noire £54.00

5. Vera Wang - Princess £26.00

6. Marc Jacobs - Daisy Sunshine £65.45

Katy Perry - Killer Queen Gift Set

   

In my October Glossybox I received a sample of Katy Perry's new perfume Killer Queen. I fell in love with it straight away, it smells amazing! I asked for it for my Christmas from my sister and she got me the gift set which contains a 30ml bottle of the perfume itself, a body lotion and a shower gel which are both 75ml. I can't really describe the smell of the perfume as I am totally rubbish at describing scents but trust me it smells soooo good! I am already half way through the bottle so I need to get me some more and stock up! 

You can get this pretty much anywhere such as Superdrug, Boots, The Perfume Shop and online! The cheapest I've found this gift set is from allbeauty.com at £16.50 which is great! For the 100ml bottle they have it at only £25.95 which is such a bargain! Imma buy it! :P

What perfume are you loving at the moment? xoxo

My Juicy Couture Collection

Hello everyone, hope you are all fandabbydosie! I am bored so thought I'd do a new post and share with you my Juicy Couture items. I went to New York last August which was AMAZING and I had such an amazing time! The shopping was the best part of course! :P We went to an outlet place where I got great bargains although I can't remember how much they were now since it was more than a year a go. So yeah here's a few pictures (sorry they're not that great) of what I have :)

How cute is this bag?

October Glossy Box

So it's that time of the month again (not that kind haha) where that gorgeous little pink box everyone can't wait to get has arrived! Yep it's my Glossybox! Every month I get so excited to get my box but I have to say this month I am soooooo disappointed with it :( I received a free box since I had enough glossy dots so I didn't have to pay. If you don't know what glossy dots are they are points you get when you complete surveys about products you have received in the past. So yeah, because it was free I was even more excited but I just think this box is rubbish! For me personally anyway. I just watched a video on YouTube of someone doing an unboxing of their box and they didn't like it either. Also!!! They got a free mini bar of chocolate in theirs and I never!! I love chocolate! Anyway I'm gonna stop rambling on and continue with writing about each product but I will say I've not tried most of these out just simply because I probably wont use them. Enjoy :)

"Dark Romance" Edition

My tattoos

I got my first tattoo when I was 18 (I think) and it's a pair of ballet shoes. Why did I go for ballet shoes? Well....as you may know from one of my previous posts I love to dance so I wanted to get something that meant something to me so that's why I went for a pair of ballet shoes. I thought it was special to me and of course I still do and I don't regret it. I thought ballet shoes were nice and appropriate rather than a tattoo of a break dancer haha! This one is on my right wrist and wasn't too painful :p So yeah here's a pic of it :)

My second tat is a heart but I wanted it a bit different to any normal heart. I have to say that I actually came across this heart on one of Britney Spears perfumes bottles - Believe. When I saw it I fell in love with it straight away and wanted to get a tattoo of it. I know it sounds a bit sad but hey ho! This one is on my hip and was the least sore out of all 3.

And last but not least my third tattoo. I got this one when I was holiday this year and yes don't worry I made sure the place was clean and was a proper tattoo place :) I actually saw a picture of someone who has this on instagram and I loved it as soon as I saw it! Obviously it's the lyric from Rihanna's song so whenever that song comes on I'm always prancing about lifting my top up (not like that) showing it off haha! This is on my side just under where my bra sits so I feel it's quite sexy and especially if I'm wearing a dress that has cut outs at the side ;). This was very sore so if you're thinking about getting a tattoo in this area then prepare yoursef! :p 

I've also just realised since taking this pic of it that the "e" on the end has faded slightly which I'm quite annoyed about since I only got it done in April :(

I would love to see if any of you lovely people have tattoos so let me know in the comments below and leave a link to your blog and I'll check it out! Thanks for reading xoxo

September Glossy Box - London Edition

Hey!! I've finally found the time to sit down and write about this months Glossy Box! Look how amazing it is!! So this months theme was the London edition and I was so excited when I found out because the box looks amazing!
