Top Body Bits(feat. Hand Creams/Cleansers)!

                                       Hey again guys!
Okay, so today I thought I'd show you 3 of my top hand-cream's. If this interests you or you'd like to know more about a certain cream featured, just comment.
[Left to Right-:  Liiv Botanicals Rejuvenating Cleanser, 'You Soft Touch' hand lotion, Jergens Cocoa Butter Body Moisturiser]


Firstly, 'Liiv Botanicals' rejuvenating cleanser. I got this from the 'Avon' Catolouge about 6 months ago and to be honest with you, I haven't really used this at all. I don't really like the actual formula; it's quite oily and if you already have quite oily skin it makes you look just greasy. This can be used on hands and on areas of your face. There's quite a lot in the bottle, but if you use it once a day- it does go very quickly! But for the price, it's probably quite a good amount. But I still wouldn't highly recommend this unless you have very dry skin.

Next is, 'You Soft Touch- Hand Lotion' which is from Dirty Works. This is defiantly a treat to pamper yourself with! When on it gives you silkily soft hands.
It's made with Cocoa Butter and Jojoba Oil, which as many of you may know is a really lovely mix when together. Your hands feel so silky when it's fully rubbed in and they don't feel at all greasy!


Finally, 'Jergens Naturals' Cocoa Butter. It's actually quite a new formula out. It's a body moisturiser, but I mainly use it on my hands. One of the main ingredients has a trace of Vitamin E which is also very good for your skin!
It deeply conditions and doubles your skin's natural radiance. I love this product!

What Am I Wearing Today?

Hi guys.
So today, I thought I'd start a blog called 'What am I wearing today?' which is where I tell you what I'm wearing/where it's from ect. So, I'm going to stop rambelling on and just get on with it.

Okay, so on my top-I've just got on a top from River Island, and it's just like a vest-top really. And it's plain grey. It was about £12 I think, and it's a size 14 because I'm usually a 10-12 but I find that River Island's clothes 'tend to be a quite small. So, I get the bigger size.
Then on top of that, I have a long sweater which is my Mum's. And it's actually probably long enough to be a short dress. It goes just above the knee and it's a beigy washed-out kind of colour. It make's me look a bit like a Hobo but oh well, I love it.


Then on the bottom, I have black leggings on which are a age 13 so really not my size but they fit surprisingly. I got them a funny way actually. At the Wilderness we borrowed each other's clothes and so I think these are Ginnie's and I took home 2 of my other friend's top's aswell which were far too small anyway and so I gave those back to her, but I've kept these for some reason.. So yeah, thanks Ginnie! And I looked at the label and it says: 'Limited Edition' which is a Mark's and Spencer's make.

For make-up I didn't really bother putting any on, so just a sleek of 'Estée Lauder' lipgloss in nude.
And I always have these pieces of jewellery on that I have on now;
Pearls with gold bird on, pandora-style bracelet, friendship string with beads and shells from Italy, beads from year5, blue beads from italy, leather studded cuffs and golden locket with red rose on the front.

Teen Choice Awards 2010: Katy Perry's Out-Fit Changes!

I don't know how many of you guys were watching or reading about the 'Teen Choice Awards' in California this week, but Katy Perry was picked to host it. And she done the most amazing job! She tried so hard, and even had 6 out-fit changes through the whole ceremony, which she chose to do herself. 

Also joining her on the stage was a number of guest star co-hosts, including the Glee Cast and so she decided to take on the role of a number of High School out-fit's. 
First of all, she took to the stage as a hippie, then a cheerleader, then a gothic number. 

Then she came on to the stage dressed as a Prom Queen; complete with tiara and sash. Best of all though was her Geek approach that came with big specs and an even bigger pair of braces. This was also a hit with the likes of  vampire, Robert Pattinson. And to finish the night, the final out-fit she chose was a strapless dress!

Festival Fever! (Top 10)

Hi guys. So, I thought I'd do a Summer 2010 Festival Fashion post. So, I've been reading a lot of magazines and watching "T4 on the beach" on t.v recently and I've come up with some 'Festival Fashion' must-have's.  So I'm just going to tell you what they are and why I picked them. [Warning: This might be a long post]

1) Feathers: Okay, so I picked feathers because I don't literally mean you have to wear them, but you can get jackets and stuff which have feather detail on the pockets and neck-line and stuff and so I think that looks really cool. And it kind of also gives a bit of edge to your "festival fashion". 
2)Dry Shampoo: Now, I wouldn't usually use dry shampoo ever, and I'm not really one for going to festivals either, but if I were to go to a festival, like one where you stay in a tent over night or something, I probably would use dry shampoo because there isn't a shower, and it isn't the best look if you go out with greasy hair! And believe it or not, it actually does look like it's the works of proper shampoo!
3)Straw Hats: Straw Hat's are making their way back in this summer. I chose them for this post because they are really cool and their not too big and they kind of go with any out-fit, and I think they especially look good with festival-wear. 
4)Pumps: Long live pumps! I love them, they go with virtually anything, and they're just so cool. You can get different colours, patterns and designs. There's some that I've got my eye on at the moment and they're navy and white stripe and they are £19.99 from Republic. Loving them!
5)Sunglasses: To me, the number 1 rule for Festivals if to always take shades because usually if it's a festival -it's nice weather.. And if it's nice weather, it's sure to be sunny and so they are really the best alternative to getting damaged eyes. Plus, they look really cool aswell. And you can also get them quite cheap from a number of different places. 
6)Denim Jacket: I love denim jackets! And this summer, denim is really making a come-back. It looks so effortlessly cool with anything you wear, and I think it looks particually nice with over-sized sunglasses and a dress-tights combo!
7)Stars and Stripes Hot-Pants:  These shorts are the coolest! From the design to the way the denim frays out at the bottom. If any of you haven't seen what they look like, then you're missing out! If you'd like me to put a link in with this post, please do comment me and ask. You can also get them from TopShop for £32. 
8)Wellies: As many of you will know, most festivals are known for there being loads of mud, and hardly any grass. So I suggest to EVERYONE that you take wellies. Their so comfy and also protect you from the mud and getting any other shoe's ruined and some of them also come in some pretty cool designs. 
9)Bum-bag: At festivals, there's always a lot of things I want to get from there, and take with me e.g. money, iPod, phone. And so the best option is to invest in a bum-bag which you wear like a bag but by your front and it's super-safe and actually can make an outfit look pretty cool. 
10)Jump-suit: I would highly recommend taking a jump-suit with you aswell because they're really 'in' this summer and I think they look really nice with your wellies, sunnies and a simple cardigan. And you can also get some of them quite cheap.

'Outspoken' by Fergie: Review

Hi again. 
I thought I'd do a blog on a sample perfume I received from Avon a couple of months ago. So yeah, I've been meaning to do this one for quite a while now. 

I'm not very good at explaining smells and so I'm going to do what I think of it as when I smell it and also the proper description of it. So here it goes.. 

My Description:It's quite a deep fragrance which to me means that  it's quite strong but it's a really lovely smell and it's not like light and floral like most of the scents I like are. I wear perfume the most for school and when I'm going out anywhere and I don't really wear it at home as much. I do use quite a lot though and so it's kind of nice because where it's so strong I only need to do a few sprays whereas if it was something lighter but I still liked it I'd have to use more of it. I don't think I've ever bought a perfume because of the celebrity behind it but I kind of did for this one because I wanted to see if it was what everyone said it would be because she's a singer not someone that would make a perfume.. and so I tried it and I really like it. I think it's about £8 and I think it's only sold from Avon catalogue but I might be wrong.. 

Avon's Description:"We wouldn't have expected Fergie to do anything like this but the smell is astounding! It's deep and sensual and more intense than a lot of new perfumes coming out recently. The advantages of this product are that it's an original blend of fragrances, it's a reasonable cost, it lingers lovely on your skin and also the packaging and the bottle are really nice. 


So yeah, that's the news on Fergie's new fragrance. So if you want to try it out I'll pop a link below. Thanks for reading guys!

Toy Watches!

http://www.aphrodite1994.com/accessories-5/watches-34/toywatch-watch-light-blue-small-fluo-23515.htm?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=23515&utm_campaign=froogle



Hey there!
At the moment I'm really loving Toy Watches. The one I have linked above is in Light Blue (which is personally my favourite colours when used on these watches). 


You can get them from different places (e.g. Argos) and their often cheaper. 


I like these watches because I think they look good with anything and it was like as soon as I saw them, I knew I wanted one. They are also featured on many beauty reviews on Youtube including 'FleurDeForce's'. And so I think you should defiantly check these out. 


Yeah, so I really like these watches and I'll probably be purchasing one soon. 
Thanks for reading Bloglings.
