VS PINK | ALL I WANT



Victoria's Secret is one of my favourite American brands that has recently been brought over to the UK. PINK is a line by Victoria's Secret that is aimed more towards teenagers. I am lucky enough to live close to some of the Victoria's Secret UK stores, and if you happen to get the chance to be near one, I would definitely recommend you take a trip inside, as there is currently no UK website.

This post features a body mist and body cream from the ' ALL I WANT ' collection.I would firstly like to mention that the packaging of these products, as it is so beautiful and girly. It makes me think of going out for a party or special occasion.  

The scent of the products is described as a white vanilla and berry spritz. It is a comforting and indulgent smell, that isn't too heavy. I really love these products and always use them after a bath.  The refreshing body mist includes conditioning Aloe, which is great for your skin, and the body cream features supersoftening Cotton Complex and Vitamins E and C. 

The products are priced at £15 each, which admittedly is a little on the pricer side of things, however I believe that the quality of the products is of a good standard. They would also make a great gift for a friend. 

Have you ever visited a VS/PINK store? what are your favourite products?

MAC HOLIDAY COLLECTION | VIVA GLAMOROUS



Hello lovely readers. First off I'd like to wish you all a Happy 2015, and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I thought I would kick-off the new year with a review on one of the gifts I received for Christmas, which was the MAC viva glamorous bag. This was part of their holiday collection, however both of the lipsticks are available individually as part of Rihanna's Viva Glam series.

MAC's Viva Glamorous set features the two Rihanna lipsticks, packaged in a red glittery bag. I thought this added the perfect christmassy feel. Plus, who doesn't love glitter.

The first of the two lipsticks is Viva Glam Rihanna , which is a frosty blue-red. This is the original of the lipsticks, and features a subtle shine and sparkle when applied. I have been in need for a decent red lipstick for so long, so this was perfect for me. Although I prefer matte lipsticks, I like the added glamour you get from the subtle gold glitters.

Secondly, is Viva Glam Rihanna 2 . This lipstick is described by MAC as mauve with a silvery frost. I cannot even begin to explain how much I am in love with this shade. At first I was a little unsure as it unlike anything I have ever seen before, it has an almost gunmetal effect to it. I love the uniqueness of this product, and would definitely recommend investing in it if you like to be original.

The products both come in limited edition velvet red packaging, with Rihanna's signature on the inside, and the full amount from sales goes towards helping those affected by HIV/AIDS . The lipsticks are available for £15.50 each  here 

What are your favourite MAC products?
