NOTD: OPI 'You're Such A Budapest'

I wasn't going to buy any more polishes for a while, with the exception of Chanel. I really tried to not even look at OPI's Euro Centrale collection, but the blue leaning lilac "You're such a Budapest" had my heart from the start. Looking through my collection I realised it was actually lacking light, pastel summer colours, so with that in mind I justified it, and I'm really happy I did! I really didn't have anything like this!

Review: Guerlain Terracotta Sun Scrub

After falling in love with Guerlain's limited edition Sunless self-tanner from their Terracotta line I wanted to try some more of their summer skincare products. I bought the Sun Scrub and the Jambes De Gazelle which is an instant tan. This post is about the scrub.

NOTD: Chanel 667 Bel-Argus

I've wanted a shiny blue polish for quite a while now. Essie's 'Aruba Blue' really caught my eye a few months back but I restricted myself. When I saw Chanel was releasing the similar Bel-Argus I took it as a sign and knew I just had to have it.

Empties: April 2013

There's not as much as the last few months this time, but still a substantial amount. If your wondering why there's almost no posts these days, like I said in my favourites post I'm in the middle of exams so my priorities are to study. When I am finished with exams I go straight on holiday, but I will be back in the beginning of July and I am already looking forward to really getting back into blogging a lot more! Good luck to everyone else in the midst of their exams and to the rest of you - please realise how lucky you are not to be having exams! I am looking at picnics in the park outside my window while studying and have to say it is quite depressing. But it will all be over soon! Onto my empties!

Favourites: April 2013

April being over is definitely not a good thing in my book. I have exams all through May, which I am not all that excited about. This is also the reason I've not been posting lately, and probably won't too much until July. I'm quite active on Instagram though, so I'd love it if you added me on there. Still, April's actually been quite an exciting month for makeup for me. With the warmer weather I've felt more like "bothering" again so I've had a lot of fun discovering and re-discovering new products.

Review: Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum

I bought the Dr. Andrew Weil's Mega-Bright Serum around christmas time and have used it for about three months now. Having been a huge fan of every Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins product I've used so far, I was really excited for this to (hopefully) finally help clear some of my post-blemish marks. With the serum now nearing it's end I figured it was time for a review.

Review: Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm

Most of you have probably read about a hundred reviews on this already, so I wasn't sure if I should bother writing one or not. Still, for those of you that do appreciate my opinion on products and are still curious or on the fence about this product I figured another review could always be helpful.

Empties: March 2013

I seem to be going through products quite quickly these days. Not that I'm using excessive amounts, but after I decided to really try and focus on finishing products, the half-empty ones especially and sticking to one in every category at a time, I've been reducing the amount of products I have to the point of noticing my drawers getting much neater and more easily organised. I'm also starting to reach the point where I am throwing out things I just don't want anymore, which I find quite the relief.

Favourites: March 2013

Oddly I feel this past month went by slowly instead of too fast, which is usually the case. I think it might be because exams are slowly getting closer and closer and I, personally, would just like them to get here so I can be done with them already. March is one of those in-between months and so my makeup and skincare needs have been a bit back and forth and will probably be a bit for April as well. Here are the favourite products I used in March.

Spring/Summer Wishlist

As exams and the time leading up to them is what's mostly filling my calendar for the next two months, my trip to New York right after that is what I'm mostly looking forward to at the moment. A trip to New York means I will finally have access to a lot of brands I don't normally, and so I've made this wishlist of some things I really want. I'm not saying I'll necessarily buy all of them, and I don't know if Reiss really is anywhere outside the UK, but I sure wouldn't be too surprised if I come back with most of these things in July. I've done quite a lot of research and feel these are all amazing products that I will love using. I've been good with my spending lately, I think, and I am managing to finish up a few products so feel a few of these purchases could be justified! Far from all though, but oh well. I'm really set on eventually having a much more downsized collection with only luxury products that I really love.
