Kurt Geiger Problem

Hello again me sweets, 

So I have a confession, I think I might have a Kurt Geiger problem! I think I might be obsessed with his shoes!!! I when shopping at the weekend with my mum looking for black ankle boots for winter and some how ended up in the the Kurt Geiger shop :P I would like to point out I think I have a problem because these are my 5th pair of Kurt Geiger and yes they have all been in the sale section but no student should think 5 pairs is acceptable :P

I have to say these are the nicest I have seen and they don't have the slits in which some boots do! I know this is the fashion but I like to think I am a practical girl :P by buying these shoes it has meant I can wear them in all weather because if it rains my feet will be dry unlike the other boots I was looking at! Also I am the type of person to wear something all the time and get my moneys worth so I don't really mind spending a little bit more on shoes which will last me a bit longer :)

I have to say I am my pleased with them and think they will turn into my favourite shoes this winter :)

What do you guys think? Do you have a shop like this where you have a soft spot?

Week 4 and it's a bit of a celebration this week! This week my family has 3 birthdays in 2 days :P tomorrow it's my Dad's and I wanted to dedicate this song to him :) ever since I was little our song has always been 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA! For the 2000 New Years we were at a local party and when this song came on I grabbed my Dads hands and pulled him up to dance with me :) whenever I go out and it comes on I always have the biggest smile on my face because reminds me of him :) so I would like to say happy birthday to him and I hope you like this classic :)

October GlossyBox

Hello again my sweets,

This is my second to last GlossyBox until I need to decided if I stay with these or change to a different subscription box, so I need your help! What do you guys suggest and which company do you think are the best?

This month the theme was 'Dark Romance' which I think is quite fitting as the days are getting shorted and winter is setting in! I think this winter will be the coldest for me as being a student I doubt I'll be able to afford heating :P

At first glance I wasn't overly pleased with the box this month because I feel once again they have sent me similar products that I have already received before and there isn't the variation I was hoping for :/ however when I read more in the products themselves I thing there are a couple which I might really enjoy :) once again I received a Glossy mag which just has some information about the GlossyBox HQ and some other products! I like this little bonus as it has some good stuff in :) 

Broadway Nails - I'm not a massive fan of fake nails as I find them a pain to apply and normally to long that I cant do anything when I'm wearing them! However these are easy apply that you just stick them on and they will last a week! These are also medium length which I think will work well for me :) just a glitter French polish which I think I might try out around Christmas when I want nice nails and not worry about chipping :) - Pack from £7.99

Premae Multi-Vit Serum - I think this might have been the product I was most excited about when I opened the box because I have never used a serum before so thought it would be nice to try one out just also this is aimed at combination skin which mine is :) it says it soothe redness and hydrate skin which is all I want! But also keeps skin matte and shine free :)  you use it before your moisturiser morning and night! - 50ml £22.50 

Monu Illuminating Primer - When it comes to primers I have no idea which ones are good and which are rubbish, so hopefully testing out a higher end one compared to some I have used in the past will show me their real power :) this one protects from UV damage and enhances your natural complexion :) you can wear it on its own or under make-up :) - 50ml £24.95

MeMeMe Cherub's Blush - This is a cheek and lip tint which is long lasting and easy to apply :) you can use it to add colour on your cheeks and lips going from day to night :) I like the idea of these but I have used Benefits one before and couldn't get the hang of it! I know people love these and swear by them so I might give it another go and see if I can master the art of liqued blusher :P - Full size £5.50

Katy Perry Killer Queen Fragrance - I love trying new smells and finding new perfumes however the bottle you get for this is enough for one or two wears and I guess you could get these free anyways! They say its a playful fragrance however I don't think with this size bottle you could get a real sense of it! I live so close to Fenwicks I normally pop in and try new smells so I could have just done that for this product! Think I might just pop it in my bag and use it for emergence use :P - 50ml £29.50

So thats it, October box done! Overall I think theres some good stuff but not my favourite box I have received! I'll have to see what November brings and see which company I sign up for in December but if any of you like a different company please let me know :)

Week 3 and I thought I would pick a less depressing one :P Jay Z is one of my favourite artists and I just love everything he does plus he is married to the fittest girl ever :P I thought I would do a Jay Z song this week as he was spotted on the London underground on Saturday at Waterloo and my boyfriend was gutted because he lives down there but was visiting me for the weekend! I have no idea what I would do if I saw Jay Z just chilling at Waterloo!!!! I saw him and Kanye West a couple of years ago and was one of the best nights ever, he is such a good performer and how he raps like that live is insane :) love this song and the music video is good as well, so I hope you enjoy this weeks pick :)

14 Weeks of Melodies - Week 2

Hello again my sweets,

So its the second week of the Melodies and I have already failed as I am a day late, so first I would like to apologise for that just last night I had some technical problems!

Week 2 and my pick this week is a song that my boyfriend has been playing on replay for the last 2 months or so! Whenever I catch myself singing it always seems to be this song as I think its now engrained into my brain :P I have to also say that its another depressing and I promise all my songs wont be this sad :P so the band Radiohead was first introduced to me by my dad when I was younger and I love so many of their songs, then this summer my boyfriend got into them and I started listening to some of their different songs and albums :) hopefully you enjoy and go check out more of their stuff! So this week is 'Videotape' by 'Radiohead' :)

Winter Lip Care

Hello again my sweets,

So the cold weather is slowly creeping in and if your lips are anything like mine the cold weather is bad news! My lips seem to be dry and cracked all year round but in winter it gets really bad! I have invested in quite a lot of lip balms over the last couple of years to try and tackle with the situation and I have found some of my favourite. 

My first lip saviour is Lush lip scrub, I have already done a review on it here if you want to read more about this amazing product! In winter I just keep this product close by, when my lips are really dry and good scrub with this and you can feel the difference straight away :) I would say though if your lips are feeling really sore this might not be the best way, maybe try a flannel first as that isn't as harsh on the lips :)

Now I have 4 lip balms that I love and they all have a different purpose for me! Balmi is a great lip balm and you feel it soothing your lips straight away, I normally use this when I moisturise my face day and night! 

The Carmex I like is the Strawberry one and this is my on the go lip balm if I don't want any colour on my lips and it has a SPF 15 which is always a good added bonus and perfect for summer as well :)

 Baby Lips have been reviewed so much later as they are quite new and just been realised in the UK, I bought 3 of the collection and this one is my favourite! It's called 'Peach Kiss' and smells amazing :) they hydrate the lips really well and this one leaves a nice hit of colour. So if you don't fancy a lip stick these are a great alternative :) 

The last one is one I got in my GlossyBox a couple of months back, Figs and Rouge! I have to say this is the thickest and stays on the lips the longest! It has more of a colour pay off then the Baby Lips and you feel it working its magic for hours! Sometimes this can be a little bit to much and on a windy day can course some problems with hair :P 

These are my favourite lip products and at least one of them comes with me everywhere I go in winter :) 

What lip products do you swear by?

So the first week...this was a hard one because I wanted it to be either a song about me or one of my personal favourites! 

I moved back to university a couple of weeks ago and people that know me will know I am a home bird and get really homesick when I first move back to university so the song I have picked has a couple of meanings. This is mine and my dads favourite song and every time I listen to it it reminds me of him :) its quite a depressing song however I love how meaningful it is and how it really does make you think about life.

My first song is from the 'Flaming Lips' and its called 'Do You Realise??'

I did my whole final art piece on this song in year 11! If you have never heard it go check it out and listen to the lyrics :)

 

So that's week one, I hope you have enjoyed my first song :) I'm excited to see this project develop and see what everyone else picks :)

So here you have it ladies n gents, let's see who can do it for all 14 weeks straight ;)
