My Xmas Presents: Part 2

Hello my fabulous Darlings. I managed to take the rest of my Xmas presents back to my place today from my other half's. These presents are from my man and his family. I said I would show you these presents too so here they are.

I have some fabulous gifts here. The shades of the Fearne Cotton lip glosses and nail varnishes are lush and the false eyelashes are great too. I love all my Hello Kitty goodies. They are so cute. The make-up brushes actually feel quite nice, but I will have to try them to see what they are like to work with.

This DKNY perfume I received from my fella last Xmas, but his Dad actually got me this set this Xmas. It is a nice perfume which I have now run out of so it's nice to have. The Soap & Glory trolley case with toiletries and vouchers my man knew I liked so I knew I had this. I didn't care though as it's gorgeous and the perfect size to take some things round to his house.

I got some great basic toiletries here. My boyfriend's Mum always does a bag of things like this every Xmas. She knows I like these cotton buds, deodorant and face wipes, but it's cool as I will use it all. I have left a razor, pack of wipes and a toothpaste at my boyfriend's that I got with this lot too. love the wee desk calendar. I was hoping I would get one :)

I picked these tops out so I know how much these were. The Hollister vest on the left was £20.00 and the Vero Moda tops on the right were just the bargain price of £2.00 each. The one on top is long sleeve, but the ones underneath are all short sleeve.

I chose these two dresses from H&M as well. I already have this in Black which I bought for £10.00 at the time in the sale. I wore it to a Xmas night out with people from work. These two had been further reduced to just £7.00 each so I just had to have them.

I was eyeing these House Of Holland Pretty Polly suspender tights in lots of shops and my boyfriend gave me the money to go and get them as he didn't want to pick the wrong ones up. He saw these H&M knee high socks on a mannequin and liked the look so got these for me. These Primark slipper socks are leopard print so what's not to love?

I went on to lots of people about this Dorothy Perkins dressing gown as I do love leopard print and this feels all snugly and warm. I really like the hood on it too. I was well chuffed to get this.

My boyfriend hates buying me clothes as he never knows if he is buying the right size or if I will wear it so we went to Bluewater together and I picked out these jeans from Zara. I think these were about £30.00?

I chose these Hollister jeans also. The lower pair are more like jeggings really. I think these were about £40.00 each.

Apologies for the creasing of the clothes folks, but these clothes have been in bags since before Xmas. A massive thank you to my lovely boyfriend and his family for all these lush gifts. I do appreciate all of my gifts and I know I have been spoiled, but I spoiled others too so I don't feel too guilty ;)


For anyone interested here is part 1, Link :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! This is my first post of 2012 and it won't be my last :)

Love to you all

October Empties

Hello Darlings. I have been saving my products that I have used up in October so that I can give you a brief outline of my thoughts on them. 

Face

 

Left to Right: Simple Kind To Skin Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser, Link :), Gatineau Floracil Lotion, Link :), Kimia Rejuvenating Facial System, Link :), Colbert M.D. Nourish Eye Cream, Link :), Vaseline Lip Therapy, Link :)

Simple Kind To Skin Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser

A very gentle cleanser which removes make-up quite effectively. I have not noticed minimised pores though. This feels fresh and has a smooth formula.

Gatineau Floracil Lotion

This does a pretty good job at removing make-up without stinging or irritation.

Kimia Rejuvenating Facial System

This felt nice to use. When I first used this I did not realise that I also had to put on my own moisturiser as well so I had a little dry skin appear. Once I did this it was fine. I had to use a lot more than is recommended with this kit. I used up the spray before the oil so that may be something to note for those thinking of buying it as a kit. That may be because of the amount I was using, but I actually think that I applied the oil more liberally.

Colbert M.D. Nourish Eye Cream

This has a very pasty scent to it. It's okay, but doesn't blow me away.

Vaseline Lip Therapy

I have spent loads on trying to find a descent lip balm and although I still suffer with very dry, chapped and peeling lips this has been the best product that I have used so far.

Body

Left to Right: Nivea Invisible Anti-Perspirant 48h, Link :), Tropic Body Smooth Refreshing Polish, Link :), Soap & Glory Girligo Spray-On Body Moisturising Mist, Link :), Juicy Couture Body Sorbet, Link :)

Nivea Invisible Anti-Perspirant 48h

On me this does not stop me perspiring for up to 48 hours. I really sound like a sweaty betty now, but I'm not that bad, ha ha. I haven't noticed any white patches on my clothes though, although I am always careful putting them on as I hate those dreaded white marks.

Tropic Body Smooth Refreshing Polish

I love the sherbet scent of this. This felt comfortable to use on my skin, but didn't feel like I had really exfoliated as the granules are quite fine. 

Soap & Glory Girligo Spray-On Body Moisturising Mist

This has a medium strength scent which I like. I think it's quite sexy. The spray bottle is okay, but it's hard to moisturise your whole body as the bottle gets slippy, making the pump hard to use as you apply it. Also it is quite a milky, runny cream so you need to bear that in mind when spraying it on. Please excuse the missing lid in the photo as I lost it.

Juicy Couture Body Sorbet

This is such a sexy scent. I got this a few years ago in a set with the perfume that I still have and the shower gel which I have used up already. I would say this scent is my most favourite perfume scent so far. I used this whenever I applied the perfume. I always have compliments when wearing this range. I LOVE IT!!

Left to Right: Superdrug Shower Gel Strawberry And Raspberry, Link :), Di Palomo White Grape With Aloe Moisturising Bath & Shower Cream, Link :), I Love ... Strawberries & Milkshake Bubble Bath & Shower Creme, Link :)

Superdrug Shower Gel Strawberry And Raspberry

This is a gorgeous, sweet and girly scent. So fruity.

Di Palomo White Grape With Aloe Moisturising Bath & Shower Cream

I WAS SENT THIS PRODUCT FOR REVIEW PURPOSES! This has such a fresh and clean scent and is very creamy too.

I Love ... Strawberries & Milkshake Bubble Bath & Shower Creme

This does not have as strong a scent as the Superdrug Shower Gel Strawberry And Raspberry, but they are in the same family of scents. Lovely.

Hand, Nail & Body

Left to Right: Di Palomo Wild Fig & Grape Enriching Hand & Nail Cream, Link :), Di Palomo Orange Blossom With Wild Honey & Olive Hand & Body Lotion, Link :), Di Palomo White Grape With Aloe Hand & Body Lotion, Link :)

Di Palomo Wild Fig & Grape Enriching Hand & Nail Cream

This has an autumnal, warm smell.

Di Palomo Orange Blossom With Wild Honey & Olive Hand & Body Lotion

I WAS SENT THIS PRODUCT FOR REVIEW PURPOSES! This scent is what I would call a day to night smell. I love the packaging of this.

Di Palomo White Grape With Aloe Hand & Body Lotion

I WAS SENT THIS PRODUCT FOR REVIEW PURPOSES! This has a very fresh and pure scent.

All of these creams are lovely. They sink in straight away and all have lovely scents. My first impressions and opinions have not changed of these products. Please see my post on that here :)

Perfume

Left to Right: DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, Link :), Plum By Mary Greenwell, Link :), Agent Provocateur L'Agent, Link :), Christian Lacroix NUIT Pour Femme EDP, Link :)

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom

This has a rose type scent. I would say it's a definite day smell. It's quite romantic and pretty. It's quite subtle, yet noticeable.

Plum By Mary Greenwell

It's an okay scent, but nothing special.

Agent Provocateur L'Agent

This is quite nice, better than most samples at least. I did receive a compliment when wearing this.

Christian Lacroix NUIT Pour Femme EDP

This is another okay scent.

The products that I would purchase in the future are: 

• Simple Kind To Skin Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser
• Vaseline Lip Therapy
• Nivea Invisible Anti-Perspirant 48h
• Juicy Couture Body Sorbet
• Superdrug Shower Gel Strawberry And Raspberry
• Di Palomo White Grape With Aloe Moisturising Bath & Shower Cream
• I Love ... Strawberries & Milkshake Bubble Bath & Shower Creme
• Di Palomo Wild Fig & Grape Enriching Hand & Nail Cream
• Di Palomo Orange Blossom With Wild Honey & Olive Hand & Body Lotion
