Avon...Far away perfume


I decided to try this scent because I had heard someone raving about it on youtube, and yup they were right!! Its a weird yet nice smell. I ordered it online from the avon website and it was on sale at the time for £7 !!!!!! People were right also in that its not fruity or floral or musky its unique....yes it is exotic and oriental and by that I don't mean it smells like a chinese takeaway lol but instead a delicate smell of the culture........ok so you are probably thinking well that was not helpful but basically it reminds me of the far east in a natural scenic kind of way sigh....please try it cos its fab!!!

MAC ladybug lipstick


My mom gave me this lipstick and it is literally the most adorable red I have ever seen. When applied it gives this luminous glow that I can't even describe !! Its super smooth and reminds me of a mexican sunset.....divinee need I say more!

Some great budget travel essentials from boots!

I bought these items a few weeks ago as just general staples in terms of travel. I travel back and forth from university to home every 6-7 weeks so just thought I needed to buy a cosmetic hold all bag and a travel mirror for use on the go.

The case is just a simple plastic clear rectangular shape and to me clear is great because it means I can see what items are at the bottom and where exactly. Easier to reach to! Its an awesome size too because it even fits my full size elnette hairspray in it too :) When I bought it from boots it was £8 and only because it came with a ton of  other travel essentials in it....a pouffa sponge, empty storage containers and bottles so you can take travel sized versions of your shampoos etc !




Anddd the mirror was just a cute patterned large mirror I saw in the make up brushes section and I thought I just really needed one for doing my eyebrows and applying eyeshadows etc. Its really slim and compact so I can just slip it into my bag before I go classes in the morning....it was £4 something I thinkk...cute dealioo
