Things i ♥ : NARS Copacabana illuminator

I think I'm illuminator/highlighter/whatever you want to call them crazy! I seem to have accumulated a few now, but my current favourite by far is this NARS copacabana one. It's a really beautiful silvery pink, very different to the gold based ones i usually pick. When i use a highlighter I'm generally tanned and looking for quite a sunkissed look, but i think this is gorgeous for a frosty look at this time of year. I'm going to put my hands up and say this is like, the first NARS product I've bought! I'll admit the prices have put me off in the past as it is a very expensive brand, but i think the packaging and everything about NARS just says luxury!

Out of a Laguna version, Orgasm, and Superorgasm (and Copacabana of course) I chose this because i also bought the Laguna bronzer when i bought this, and I'm actually sick of hearing things about NARS Orgasm, So i opted for something that i don't usually hear much about.





In comparison to other highlighters I own, this is incredibly thin and lightweight, but it still gives off such a lovely shimmer and stays put very well. You get an absoloute ton of product, and a little goes a very, very long way with this! Unless you totally pile this on, I don't see how it couldnt last you a really long time. This product cost me £21.50, and considering it's NARS which is generally more expensive than your usual brands, I would be quite happy to pay for another one of these. If you want a really lovely, decent illuminator that's not going to feel thick and greasy on your skin, I would totally go with this. I'm now even tempted to get the others so i can pick my favourite. Lovely!

October Favourites!

Ebay Rhinestone Wheels: If you're in to nail art (or likes to have a go at nail art) like me, and you havn't already picked up some of these, then DO! Ebay sell these little babies at around 99p a pop, you do have to wait a little while for them to come since they are mainly sent over from China (Everythings cheaper in China! YAY!) From stars, butterflies, sparkly rhinestones and even funky little fruit shapes these are awesome little bargain buys for nail art! I think i was changing my nails everyday at one point with these! So many options!





MAC Bare Study Paint Pot: This doesn't even need a description! Gorgeous colour, amazing base, over an eye primer this little beauty has kept my eyeshadow in tip top condition for hours at a time all month, MAC Paint Pots are my new love, Cant wait for my Glitter and Ice paint pots to arrive!




Clinique Moisturiser: I have problems with dry skin every month of the year, so it is really compulsary for me personally that i use a moisturiser always. I get it mainly above my cheeks/under my eyes (where i would usually apply highlighter!) to the point of it really stinging if i dont use a moisturiser. Clinique is my favourite because my skin doesnt feel greasy after i use it and a little goes a long way.



VO5 Volumising Spritz: Having incredibly long, thick hair, i have major trouble in getting my hair to sit up at the roots, i know even after using rollers everybodys hair will drop at some point, but my rollers dont even seem to create much volume in the first place! I noticed an instant difference after spritzing my damp hair with these after drying it! Obviously, it doesn't last forever, especially with thick hair like mine, but mainly above all...i can't get enough of the gorgeous smell of this stuff!

Hope you all had a lovely October and a happy Haloween!

Things i ♥ : Dior Addict ultra gloss

Im going to start a series of posts where every now and again ill do a post on my favourite products or things i really enjoy using/use frequently. To start it off ive picked my favourite Lipglosses which are by Dior, "Dior Addict ultra gloss" I have a baby pink colour (Cashmere Pink) and a bright red (Little Red Dress) It doesnt take a lot of product to show up on your lips, the red is amazing. Usually i find that Glosses arent true to their colour, they either just go on clear or a very sheer version of what they look in the tube. I absoloutly adore Little Red Dress, it even looks lovely if you put a little bit of it over some red lipstick. Cashmere pink is more of a sheer colour, a lovely everyday gloss with a little bit of glamour added due to the immense sparkle that it has, and me loving all things sparkly/shiny/glittery, its a total win, i even think the packaging is beautiful! Ill definetely replace these glosses when theyre finished, and will probably ask for some more colours for christmas or just pick them up myself, Im a little confused about the whole "pearl" and "flash" labelling, i mean its probably to do with the finishes of the gloss but i cant see any difference between the glosses apart from the red being alot more opaque but meh, still love them :D



Top: #267 Cashmere Pink (Pearl)
Bottom: #856 Little Red Dress (Flash)







SO gorgeous when it catches the light!

If youre a lipgloss girl and your looking for a new go to lipgloss, try out these!
