Review:Palmer's Cocoa Butter

Hi lovelies!!

So after endless comments about how good this product is, i decided to try it out.

It is a coca butter, with added vitamin E and it is perfect for getting moisture into dry skin.

I really love this product, it smells faintly of chocolate, and your skin feels really nourished in a similar way to when you use Lush's Dream Cream!

I bought this on friday, but i have already used loads, I honestly love it, something which i havent felt about a moisturiser in a long time


You can also use cocoa butter not controlling frizzy hair or as an eye primer, which is not bad for a £3 product but I would get the solid pot, not the lotion, because it froms a barrier, whereas the lotion tend to slide straight off!!

Love

Style Crush: Skinspiration!

Hey :)

Everytime i say to myself
'i won't watch skins, they cant be as good as last years cast'
'Oh i will just watch the first episoder'
Then im hooked.....



In Past series, I became totally obsessed by both Cassie and then Emily's style, and my wardobe still contains the floaty dresses and A-Line skirts of that time!!

This time i am L*O*V*I*N*G Mini Mcguinness!



She is just completely awesome

But my style has always been 'dolly like' and so a transition to her kind of style would be way too huge! Instead i have been trying to find some things that i think kind of represent her style, at the moment, i am only adding in little bits, so im wearing dangly earings for the first time!!

So....my recent shopping spree i picked up these two things that i think really represent her style, even if she doesnt own them!


Sorry about the quality, my camera is playing up, so they are iphone pictures!




This is a really cute vintage bag....(excuse the bedspread underneath!!) It is showing its age a bit, but the style is so cute, and it really toughens up a floaty dress (relics from my 'cassie' period!)

This Jacket looks so crumpled!! its actually a darker purple, and i really like this because it adds shape to my body, and looks a bit more interesting than a boring safe cardigan!! Mini has a green version, and i will definatly try to find one, but i like this purple one for the time being!

Im also on the look out for an ovesized seqin top and some black lace shorts, however I buy most of my clothes second hand, because i then can edit them myself if i want to, and therefore it may take a while!

What do you guys think? Whats your style inspirations at the moment?

Bright Florals Banish Winter Blues

Bright Florals are definatly a trend that im looking forward to this spring, Its perfect after a cold and dreary winter to brighten up my day and make me smile :)

One Tip, which i picked up from the Marc Jacobs show is to wear a normal outfit and a (fake!) oversized flower attached, to the bag, or your hip for example, it seriously looks awesome, and you can pick them up cheaply anywhere!

(I really want her top and short combo too!!)

For floral outfits, the highstreet has some beautiful floral peices on offer which i love, particularly as they often contain elements of other trends!! Perfect to embrace what is easily the trend i am loving the most so far!!

This dress is from ASOS and at £45.00, which for a dress that conbines both the trends of floral and madame butterfly seems very cheap!!This is definatly joining my wishlist!! 





This Top from Topshop is a subtle way to do sheer, as well as being totally beautifull, I always love tiewaisted tops, because they will totally look good on everyone by defining the waist line!


And for the really brave, this £15.00 BooHoo jumpsuit is definatly embracing the 70's flower power revival!!! While this may not be everyones cup of tea, this jumpsuit will really define the right figure and look stunning!

So, hope theese outfits have inspired you guys as much as they have me!!
