How I store my soaps from lush etc - CUPCAKE STAND !




I have loved soaps for some time now and have quite a few but its difficult to store them so recently I set this storage up for em. It’s a cupcake stand! That’s easy to assemble and mines in silver shade. It has 3 tiers for me to put soaps onto and looks really fun on my bathroom windowsill. Also my bathroom smells like a lush shop now since they are all on display! The stand is from THE WORKS shop in the UK for £6. Or you can also try home/cook stores of any kind and they may stock something similar to it. 


A summer style essentials haul!



So over the last few days summer has been blistering here in the UK so I decided I finally needed some new fun staples in my wardrobe and believe it or not most of them are from Boots! Who knew boots could have such cute clothes etc….they only have a small beachwear range but everythings really fun and I guess the bigger the Boots is the more variety of their range they will stock. The one I live near is quite big so they had quite a large section yay J

-          Large sun hat - £8
-          Coral bay lime green dress - £14
-          Coral bay polka dot flip flops - £7
-          Health and beauty mag (free for adv card holders)
-          Towel body wrap for after shower/pool - £ 3 


June 2011 favourites

Here are some products I have been loving for this month and where I got them and if I still remember the prices….

-          Pantene pro-v smooth and sleek antistatic hairspray – Loved this for after I straighten my hair and want to lock the volume in place without it making my hair look grungey and as usual all pantene products smell so fresh. (Boots)


-          Umberto giannini flirty curls scrunching jelly – almost finished this as I have been using it after going to the pool to create some curls when my hair is wet. (Boots)

-          Oilatum natural repair face cream – I was excited to try this after watching the pixiwoo sisters rave about it on youtube and its true it lives up to its awesomeness! Makes my foundation application smoother and my skin looks much better now than it did 4 weeks ago. (Boots - £8)

-          Coastal scents prisitine cleansing blend with grapefruit and green tea extract – a nice and gently eyemake up remover for melting of the mascara. I also love the pump dispenser. (coastalscents $5)


-          Hawaiian tropics lipgloss in island berry – contains spf, very hydrating, smells yummy and a quick summer lip fix! A sheer raspberry shade perfect!


-          ELF professional bronzing brush – My foundation brush of the month, gets into all the corners and creates a streak free finish. (elfcosmetics.co.uk $1.50)


-          17 lasting fix nail polish in parma violet – ok so my love for lilac nail polishes started when I first tried the eyeko one but this is even better than that, makes tan skin look more glowy. (Boots £2.99)

-          Bourjois blush in 92 santal – My favourite blusher ever a dewy baked bronze for the perfect summer/fall finish. Smells good too! (Boots)



-          Rimmel mono blush in pink rose 004 – An easy pink pop on cheeks to pull off for summer skin or a sweet/pretty blush for floral dresses/tops. (Superdrug)


-          Nailene artificial nail and polish remover – The best nail polish remover I have tried ever no doubt….comes in a tub and I just dunk my cotton wool ball into it to get some out. Works extremely fast even to get off glittery shades which we all know takes for ever to remove.
