Bobbi Brown Hydrating face cream review





I usually purchase Korean skin care products, but recently I've felt like it's all abit of a hassle purchasing on line and not even knowing whether you'll like the product or whether it'll work and benefit your skin. I mean don't  get me wrong I  still love asian cosmetic and skin care products especially they're whitening range, they have amazing products and prices! But sometimes I guess you want something a little close to home and a brand you trust, that's when i turn to Bobbi Brown.

The moisturiser is  very light and not sticky at all. It has a dewy finish and works well underneath make up. I do believe this is suitable for sensitive skin types as my mum used to use one too and she has very sensitive skin. As for hydration, it hydrates well and I don't feel like my skin is drying throughout the day. I adore this product besides it's £37.50 price tag and 50 ml jar, I'm sure you can get similar results from cheaper products and ones that have more product in them too!

I would love to repurchase this product simply because I know it works, but I love exploring new products and why pay that much for a moisturiser when you might just find a better one which is easier on the pocket too.




Topshop metal trim boots

I recently purchased these cute little heeled booties from topshop, they're actually my first pair of casual heeled ankle boots as I've never really been a fan of them before, and the metal trim reminds me of cowboy boots which I absolutely hate! but combined with the straps and over all style it actually looks quite cute. The boots are real leather with a 4" heel, the only qualm I have so far is that , like with alot of leather products, the leather creases when around the front when you put them on. Lastly they fit true to size, if not a tad smaller!
Also, might I mention that whilst I was snooping around the reviews of the boots on topshop online, I read that they had sneakily upped the price! how cheeky is that? I guess  they might be having good sales of them?
Basically, if you're not into the whole cut out boot fad that's around, you might opt for these cuties instead!

Benefit They're Real masacara - review





I'm not really a mascara junkie, but I heard great things about this benefit mascara and I just had to try it. Like I said I'm not all that fussed about mascara's so I just use whatever so this review might not be that helpful. 

I really really do like this mascara, it lengthens my lashes and doesn't clump (unless you do 5+ coats) but really you only need about 3. The mascara doesn't budge and washes off easily so no tugging. Right now the mascara comes with a mini travel size for the regular price which is great! However it is still quite pricey as it's almost £20 for a mascara!! I don't know about you but i'd just love to spend that 20 quid else were (skin care) but meh I don't regret this purchase as I really do like it and will certainly repurchase it.

Dior addict Lip Glow revivor balm - Review




The Dior Lip Glow is a high end tinted lip balm, as I love tinted lip balm and tints in general I had to get my mits on this.  The balm has a moisturising formula which I like, it does tint your lips to a rosy warm look which 'awakens' your look and 'revives' your lips through the moisture properties. I do like this balm however it can be a little too glossy for my liking as I'd prefer it to be just the subtle hint of colour and not to make my lip look like they're heavily coated in gloss.

Back to school: Shoes





I picked up these shoes for my final year of school this coming September. They're light brown loafers from river island at a low price of £22. They have a beautiful gold plate on them giving them a more luxurious and stand out-ish feel then you're usual mute loafers. Also they just really remind me of Japanese school anime! I'm a huge fan of Japanese school uniform and they just make me feel like a anime character (cheesy I know).
