My Perfume Collection



 



Altogether I have 15 perfumes, which doesn't sound like that much to be fair, I want more! Lol I love celebrity perfumes, but I also love random ones, and high end branded ones. 
My favourtie scent is anything sweet, though that's not to say I won't wear something different, as long as I like it, whatever it is, I'll wear it. 

My Perfumes
1. Sex and the City - Love
2. Sex and the City - Midnight
3. The Mortal Instruments - Angelic Power
4. Lady Gaga - Fame
5. Bond Girl 007
6. Katy Perry - Purr
7. Paco Roban - Black XS
8. Katy Perry - Killer Queen
9. Britney Spears - Hiden Fantasy
10. Benefit - So Hooked on Carmella
11. Paul Smith - Floral
12. So?.. Kiss Me
13. Kate Moss - Summer Blossoms
14. Britney Spears - Curious
15. Britney Spears - Fantasy Twist


My Favourites would have to be... Benefit's So Hooked on Carmella, Black XS, Britney Spears Fantasy Twist, Katy Perry Killer Queen and Paul Smith's Floral. The majority of these are quite sweet scents which I love except for Paul Smith's, as the name suggests it is quite floral and perfect for summer and It has been my statement fragrance throughout the summer.

Nail Polishes for Summer

Throughout this summer I've really been loving wearing pastel shades on my nails - I don't know why, I just prefer them over the ott bright shades but in saying that - I have worn one particular bright shade which I just love! 
I've also loved experimenting with nail art over the summer as well - ust because it really adds to a look especially if it's to match an outfit your wearing or to just jazz up an outfit and to add something unique to the look :)



The first two polishes are from the brand misssporty and I believe they're part of their summer collection - they're really lovely colours and are also pastel shades unfortunetly though they don't have any names.

The next polish is from Collection and from their Hot Looks 60 second range and it's in the shade candyfloss  which is a really nice pastel pink - I don't know wear this one very often as it does tend to go quite gloopy really fast, but it is very nice

The next polish is from Barry M and the Gelly range. I absoloutely love colour - it's the one I have been reaching for the most especially when I'm tan because it looks lovely. It's in the shade rosehip and is a lovely pale pink

This next polish I also love and have worn it quite a lot - its from NYC and is in the shade Blue Sky. It's a really nice pastel blue and is the nicest pastel blue that I have been able to find in the drugstore.

Again this polish from Collection and it's from the Work the Colour range. I love this colour - I do have an e.l.f. lilac shade but its not very opaque and I would have to do about three layers to get a really nice intensity but with this polish the intensity is really nice even with one coat. It's in the shade Lilac Daze

The last polish is from e.l.f and is a really nice nude which I would use quite a lot as a base for doing nail art because I think it helps to add to the intensity of it. I do also wear this on it's own with no nail art and it still looks very nice. It's in the shade Desert Haze

The bright shade I have been loving throughout the summer is from Rimmel and their Lasting Finish range in the shade 504 It's a Scorcher. I love this colour - it's a really bright orange with a slight shimmer to it and it looks so lovely with and without tan - which is definately a bonus. 


Below are just some pictures of the nail art I have been loving throughout the summer also

My Make-up Storage/Set-up

So I've been debating doing a blog post like this for a while now, mostly because I haven't been 100% happy with it and I'm still not, but I figured that it's going to take a while for me to get the set-up I really like so I might as well give you all a general idea of what way I set up my make-up. 
..
I've seen a lot of Youtubers rave about the acrylic cases you can buy and use to store your make-up in, so I new I had to get them. I ordered mine from MUJI - http://www.muji.eu/. Muji is great for all different kind of storage, especially if you don't want to splurge on acrylic storage which is that bit more expensive but anyway. I bought three items from Muji which were;
- Acrylic Box with 2 drawers and a flip top lid - £8.50
- Acrylic Box 2 drawers, wide - £10.95
- Acrylic 5 drawer box - £24.95
All of which you can see below :)

I didn't organise it in a particular order - I was just going in order from top to bottom in what I would apply first onto my face. 
This drawer contains all my liner and mascaras. It also has some random tools and eyelash glue
This drawer is for my go-to eyeshadows which I would use on a daily basis
This drawer also contains some of my more popular eyeshadows which I would use regularly 
This drawer contains the eyeshadows that I don't use all that much - its pretty abandoned lol

This drawer contains all of my concealers, eyebrow tools and some product samples

This drawer is my Favourite lol it contains all of my glosses, liquid lipsticks etc and is the most colourful, which I love 

This drawer is sort of miscellaneous. It has random bits and bobs of everything and some products which I haven't used yet 


This drawer contains all of my bronzers
And this drawer contains all of blushers and highlighter

That was all of my acrylic drawers and what I have in them. Beside it is where I keep my lipsticks, brushes and palettes which you can see below

 My lipsticks are being held in a 24 clear acrylic lipstick holder which I got off ebay
As you can probably tell, I haven't included my foundations or powders - that's because I don't have anywhere to store them as of yet, they're just sitting on the floor beside my unit. When I do have some type of storage for them, I will do a post showing them :)

I hope you liked this post! :)

NYC Nail Varnishes

As I'm sure most of you know by now, I'm a huge lover and believer in drugstore products. In my opinion - I think the majority of the brands/products you can buy in the drugstore are as good as - or even better than the high end products/brands and are obviously much kinder to your purse! 
With that being said, I though I'd share with you one of my favourite brands ever for nail varnishes and that brand is... NYC (New York Colour) I believe this is originally an American brand but as most brands do - they venture out to other countries and can be found mainly in Superdrug in the UK.




This is an image of my NYC nail varnishes - I have 13 colours which I have absolutely adore! There are a few that's perfect for autumn/winter and a few that are perfect for spring/summer. This is one of the main reasons why I love NYC - they bring out different colours for the different seasons which really helps to broaden your collection in size and variety.

If you do have NYC in your local drugstore I would highly recommend you give their polishes a try! :)
