Autumn wish list


So, now that my blog is two months old, I've decided that the blog might take upon other interests of mine! One of my bigger interests involves some serious heavy internet browsing/wilfing. Anyways, like most girls, we dream that money can grow on trees and that this money will buy us pretty and useful things. Some of you might know that I work on the ladies fashion in John Lewis, this is sometimes a little painful when you see so many things you want but can't have. For example the warehouse coat above...£85!! Here is a little summary of my Autumn wish list...oooh all so cosy and warm!

 Dior Nude Skin foundation : £27.90 (I have heard great things.)

Warehouse trench coat : £85

Asos bear fingerless gloves : £10 (too cute)

Accessorize Hoxton Tote bag : £60 (ouchhh)

Topshop Triangle earrings: £10 (These are really 1920s,cute)

Glamorous UK Bird Print blouse : £22.99 (Bargain)

Zara Red moustache slipper : £25.99 (My boyfriend laughed at these, pft!I'm in love )

Well, I best get saving. If you have any autumn wish lists, send me your links!

Review : ST. Tropez Bronzing Rocks



ST TROPEZ BRONZING ROCKS RRP £30

Being fairly pale, I'm always putting on tights, hiding pale bits and fighting over which tanning products are good. I'm not a great fan of self-applying false tan, it's messy and often smells. I was on the look for a bronzer that could really make a difference to my face/decolletage without the obvious look of orange streak marks. Although this is a pricey bronzer, these nuggets will last you forever. There is 40g worth of bronzing rocks in the square pot and even if you use them daily, you won't have to top up for at least a year. 

It gives you a healthy glow, with a slight shimmer which is great for the cheek bones and decolletage bones, highlighting these areas will make a big difference. Use a fairly big brush to swirl around the pot and then apply to the face using a circular motion. It's up to you how much you want to use, I apply all over my face and decolletage and then highlight the important areas, forehead, bridge of nose, cheek bones and lower neck. You can also pick up the nuggets and use as an eyeshadow to create a golden smokey eye.

Smokeyblush TIP: Use the bronzing nuggets on legs and arms using a brush to create a shimmer effect! Your pins will look long and beautiful!
