Recent Favourites #3

It's no secret among my nearest and dearest that I am a product hoarder! If someone even slightly raves about a product then that's it it's on my mental wish list! I'm a nightmare, a retailers dream though! Despite being crazy with cosmetics I truly believe that investing in make up and skincare is key, if you want the best results anyway. Do not get me wrong however! I love a bargain and still have a variety of brands in my make up kit. Anyway enough rambling on I am here to share some recent faves :) So here they are...

Laura Mercier Body Butter in 'creme de pistache' £26

This is a very new addition and its fair to say I've fallen in love! This thick, rich buttery cream is just divine!! The smell is good enough to eat and I honestly can not get enough of it, I find myself smelling my arm constantly! In fact I just took a whiff now! :) It smooths over any dry patches and my skin feel soft to touch, this is one that I save for when I want to smell sickly sweet like today being Easter of course :) £26 is a bit more on the pricey side but this is a real treat and one I would recommend if your on the hunt for a self splurge.

Chanel Eyeshadow Quad in 36 Intuition £38

Ahh Chanel! Anyone who knows me knows I am a Chanel girl at heart, shame my wardrobe doesn't reflect it though! I flit between eyeshadows as I tend to get bored, everyday I try to keep my eyes soft and that is one reason why I like this little palette they can be worn every day for a subtle look or built up to a more intense look for the evenings an when use wet!? OMG a dream! This is one well used quad I can tell you. If you haven't tried Chanel yet then you must! Think I may do a look soon with these to show you as honestly I love them! 

L'oreal SuperLiner Perfect Slim Eye Liner 

Told you I loved a bargain! This is such a great liquid pen liner! I usually use a Lancome one or a gel, sometimes a pencil, but saw this on offer an thought hey that's a bargain an can honestly say it's on par with my Lancome one! It stays black an doesn't fade after a couple of hours like I've found others do and comes in a few different sizes depending on what your looking for! Genius! 

Illamasqua Blusher in 'Tremble' £18

I bought this a bit ago and I've been loving wearing it, the pigment is fab and the powder is finely milled to give a great flush of colour and think the price point is fantastic too. I featured this is my haul which if you fancy reading is here. I use my real techniques stippling brush to apply usually and have so far been really happy with the results and have had loads of compliments when worn, so money well spent then! 

L'oreal Elnett Hairspray from about £4.00

Such a cult classic and forever one of my faves! I despise sticky stiff hairspray and this is nothing like that!! I have been buying it since I can remember and doubt I ever will stop! I have dabbled in other sprays - prices high and low - but always run back to this one! Hands down my must have product, I always have every size  in my possession 'cos I'm just weird like that!

So what has everyone else been loving recently? Anyone else tried any of these? What did you think? Anyway off I go to eat more chocolate because it's Easter Sunday and if that's not a good enough excuse I don't know what is. Have a great bank holiday everyone...

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Chanel

Well my #snowday was short lived and it was back to the daily grind today! It hasn't stopped me  checking out Chanels offerings for the SS13! I had to wait until I got home from work till I could see though as I've been rushed off my feet all day and my battery died (arghh) Don't you just hate it when that happens!? And when it's freezing outside too grrr...

So I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to the Spring because I am totally over Winter now. Christmas feels like a million years ago and Summer feels like light years away but Spring is at arms length! :) Plus the shops are bringing in all the swimwear and shorts and its getting me slightly excited for warmer days... Having said that I will then need a new excuse to sit in onsies all day and eat stupid amounts of chocolate damn it!....

So anyway back to Chanel and SS13 fashion!

When I got home I couldn't wait to see what was on offer and the first picture I came across was this one:

I love it! The make up looks particularly amazing I think, but that picture just looks so haunting... And inspiring, I wouldn't expect anything less from Chanel though :) and they couldn't just do with one bride.. Oh no it had to be two.... 

How fab does Cara Delevingne look? Love the monochrome and lace...

 

Seen lots of flower prints on the catwalk this season

Lace boots appearing again! I really love the shape of this dress and the colour too

The boucle jacket is timeless Chanel and no show would be complete without a new twist on the classic.

This is one of my fave looks from the show.

Source-all pics

This is my favourite dress from the show, it's simply beautiful.

So there you have it, a few pics to drool over :) ahah! Has anyone else been following the shows? What do you think of them? Which was your favourite?

Hope everyone is having a good week despite the snow, I'm super excited for this week as I have a few exciting things happening so more of that to come soon.... :)
