The Vera Wang Edition

I've recently been looking through my perfume collection and I quickly realised that most of the bottles sitting on my dressing table are mostly from the talented Vera Wang.  From a young age I have always had a bottle of perfume from Vera.  I think every scent she makes is suitable for everyone of all ages and I think it's fair to say that I am a major fan!

Vera Wang ~ Rock Princess 

Unfortunately this perfume is no longer made, sob..  This was my first ever perfume by Vera Wang and I think it may just by my favourite!  I picked up my first bottle back when I was 11 in Harrods when it first came out and I remember thinking I was the bomb!  I would say Rock Princess is the most fruitiest out of all of the ones I have but so sweet yet so lovely, I am just in love!  For my 15th birthday my parents found Rock Princess in a Tesco's store and I had no idea how seeing as it was limited edition!  It's last me absolutely ages and I'm not looking forward to when it finishes.

Vera Wang ~ Night Princess

I find the fact that this perfume has no name written on it at all, it only has glitter stuck to the bottle.  Anyway, I really love this scent however I would say that I use it the least!  I don't know why but I just don't ever think of putting it on.  Again, the scent is quite sweet but not as fruity as Rock Princess.  I don't even know if you can still buy this bottle or not, if so give it a smell next time you're in John Lewis!

Vera Wang ~ Princess

The original.  I think this scent will always remain with me just purely because it's the original and will never leave the store!  This was Vera's first perfume and it's certainly worth the first place spot.  I would say the smell is quite girly but mature women could get away with wearing it.  I don't know perfume is a hard one to judge.   

Vera Wang ~ Be Jeweled 

This is my newest addition to the Vera family and it certainly doesn't disappoint!  Actually Dan just picked me up another bottle of this just last week after going on holiday, I'm one lucky girl!  Whenever I spray this perfume I just think of Escada?  I have no idea why but it's really fruity with a hing of lemon but it's still really nice!

I love the packaging to Vera Wang perfumes, I just think they're so simple and lovely!

Do you own any Vera Wang perfumes?  If so, what ones?

~ Under £10 Beauty Must Have's #1 ~

This post is a new edition to my blog and it will be about my favourite drug store products that are under £10.  I think this is a great thing for people who are more on a budget, especially students!  Enjoy!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer ~ Fair 1 / St Moriz Tan ~ Medium / Real Techniques Brush ~ Expert Face  

St Moriz Tan ~ Medium 

Back in the summer I included this tan in a favourites post but I seriously cannot get enough of it!  It retails at different places wherever you go but I think it usually goes for around £4!  It's such a steal at that price and it lasts ages.  This certain product comes in a spray / mist but you can pick up the moose if you prefer.  If you despise the smell of fake then you won't like this though.

Real Techniques ~ Expert Face Brush 

The expert face brush was the first ever Real Techniques brush I bought and I instantly fell in love and I love the fact that you can buy them individually.  If you were to ask me which brush I prefer between the buffing brush and the expert face brush I would have to say the buffing brush just because you don't have to apply that much pressure.  I find with the expert face brush it takes a lot of hard work to apply foundation but I still love it!  It gives  a flawless finish to your foundation and and at £8.99 you can't go wrong!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer ~ Fair 1

I have seen so many bloggers rant and rave about this product from Collection and I'm sorry but I have to join them on this one!  This concealer is just so creamy and it's amazing for highlighting your under eye area!  In my opinion it's such a good dupe for the NARS creamy radiant concealer.  At £4.19 you can't go wrong!

What are your favourite products that are under £10?

~ The Beauty Alert Tag ~

The Beauty Alert Tag!

I was tagged by the lovely Grace and Leigh - ann off Instagram to do The Beauty Alert Tag so that's what I'm going to do!

1. Favourite Face Product?  I can't just pick one, if we're talking primers I love the Beauty UK prime fx however I love the Smashbox photo finish for red skin!  They both work wonders to keep your makeup on for hours and looking flawless.  For foundation it has to be Rimmel 25 hour in 100 ivory or Mac's studio fix in NW 13!
2. Worse Face Product?  For some strange reason I really didn't get on with Mac's pro long wear foundation.  Maybe I was using the wrong brush but I just found it to be too runny and streaky.
3. All Time Favourite Eye Product?  Has to be 2true effortless waterproof liquid eyeliner, hands down!  For 2 quid it really is amazing!  I really can't fault it in anyway!!
4. Favourite lipstick brand?  MAC!!
5. Favourite Drug Store Brand?  Rimmel probably.
6. Favourite High - End Brand?  Mac!!! 

I'm gonna tag Rianne and anyone else who wants to do it!!

~ August Favourites 2014 ~

August Favourites 

Mac / Ruby Woo

Okay so let me start off by saying the colour of this lipstick on here is not true to itself in real life.  Ruby Woo is a lipstick that looks different on everyone, the colour on someone depends on the colour of their lips.  I find on some people it looks red with a blue undertone which I LOVE but on me it's like a normal red with a pink undertone.  I was so happy to see this wrapped up for me when Dan bought it for me for my birthday, I've been wanting it for ages!  I love that it's a matte finish (best type of finish if you ask me!)  It just complements so many skin tones and it looks even better when you have a bit of a tan with dewy skin!

Essence // Lash Mania False Lashes Mascara 

OMG this mascara!  This mascara retails at around £2.80 I believe and I think it could be the best mascara I have ever tried!  I will be doing a full review of it along with the other amazing bits I picked up from Essence.  This mascara just does wonders for my lashes.  It makes them so long and volumized and you only need one coat, amazing!!

Garnier // Micellar Cleansing Water

I picked this beauty about 2 weeks ago and I've just fallen in love with it!  I love the concept of cleansing water because it's just so easy to use.  I have already tried the L'Oreal one and up to now I don't know which one is better but I will have a full review of both coming up soon!  This one from Garnier though is just so nice to use and I love the fact that is's a big bottle so hopefully it will last ages!

Mac / Fix +

If you seen my wishlist from a few months ago you would of seen that I was dying to get my hands on fix +!  While I was in London in July I picked it up in Spitafield Market (the Mac store there) and I was just sold by it!  I also picked up heroine!  I will do a full review of fix + but basically it can be used in many ways but the way I use it mostly is that I spritz it over my face when all my makeup is complete to give me a dewy finish, plus it smells amazing!!

What have you all been loving in August?
