Dainty Roses - YSL arty oval ring for cheap!

Recently i've been exploring those wonderful little online jewellery stores! They're usually a whole lot cheaper than what you would find in the shops and you can occasionally find little bits and peices you usually don't find anywhere else! I actually picked a few that i found to order some bits and peices from so i could do a little write up on them as i really love coming across little gems like these.

 The Dainty Roses twitter was recommended to me on twitter, and as soon as i saw that it was an online shop i had to have a look. Now I'm not sure about you lot but I LOVE my rings, and I've had my eye on the YSL arty oval ring for a while now, they're absoloutly gorgeous, I've seen a ton of celebs wearing them, everyone from Alexa Chung to Kim Kardashian! They would set you back £165 but I'm a sucker for designer rings so i will probably save up for one at some point, so you can imagine how excited i got when i saw that Dainty Roses was selling a replica of them for £8.50! There isn't as bigger colour range on DR as there is on YSL but when you can have a ring that looks the part of a £165 ring, wether you buy it or not is a no brainer really!

I actually only ordered this ring on Sunday night, it's now only Tuesday morning and I'm already wearing it! So as you can see it came super quick, the lovely person who runs the DR twitter was lovely enough to reply to me when i tweeted her, and it came personally packaged the cutest way ever complete with a little badge :)











What do you all think?! Gorgeous isn't it?! I can safely say it is my new favourite ring! If you wish to visit the Dainty Roses store, click here. Can't wait to post about my next little online jewellery store!

Mac Angel lipstick

Angel is something i have been wanting for a long long time! Obviously knowing that its part of what makes Kim K so gorgeous has probably played a major part in me wanting this in the first place, but it's always in peoples must have Mac lipsticks or they're favourites at least. Kim is known to pair it with Nars turkish delight, which looks so gorgeous every time i've seen it on blogs or the internet, i would love to get my hands on it one day!

Usually when you're searching for Mac nude lipsticks, Angel is definetely one of them to come up, personally, i prefer my nudes a little lighter ( A touch of Myth without being too concealer like is my favourite! ) but this for me is definetely one of those colours where it makes your natural lips better?! It is definetely an extremely easy to wear lipstick that you could probably just apply without a mirror, a good one to just throw in your handbag and go with. Even if its not the exact colour i was expecting since i thought it would be a little lighter, i can see me getting a ton of wear out of this, a very sensible lipstick to own :).







I just can't get enough of these famous Mac lipsticks!

Kim Kardashians perfume..Love it or hate it??

A few weeks ago i was at the metro center with my mam and stepdad in debenhams when i came across a Kim K perfume stand. Being a huge Keeping up with the Kardashians fan and a massive lover of Kim (she is so gorgeous!) naturally, i was dying to try it out. For some reason i never expect celebrity perfumes to be too amazing because i think theyre made mainly for profit rather than for making an actual nice perfume! Having said that Hilary Duffs perfume was actually my favourite perfume ever, it was usually only £15 a bottle in superdrug and everyone used to ask me what i was wearing because it smelled so good, for some reason it never seems to smell as nice anymore, they might have changed the formula slightly or something.



Yay for reflections and chipped nail varnish...



Kims states her perfume contains: Mandarin, Honeysuckle, Orange Blossom, Pink Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, Tonka Bean, Jacaranda Wood, Vanilla Orchid, and Sandalwood.

I wasnt particularly taken with the packaging when i first saw it, sort of thought it was a cheap go and making a perfume bottle look expensive but still i thought its the smell that counts! I sprayed it on my wrist, had a smell, and immediatly felt like my nostrils had been violated! It was way too strong and way too heavy, also felt like it smelled a little bid old fashioned, like a grandma should be wearing it!

A little bit later on after visiting various makeup stands and having a little wander around i had another smell of my wrist to see if it was as bad as i remembered, i was pleasantly surprised it had died down a little bit to still a very heavy, but nice smell! I came to the conclusion that i had judged the perfume way too fast and also thought that the first time you spell a perfume that you dont know practically straight from the bottle, its going to be a tad overwhelming!

I would love to hear everybody elses thoughts on this perfume as it has appeared to have split people right down the middle! I must say now its my current favourite perfume and im already on to my second bottle :) According to Debenhams website, Kims perfume retails between £23 and £40, but i think i payed £30 for mine.

What are your thoughts?
