Body | L'Occitane Shower Oil

L'OCCITANE SHOWER OIL £17.50

This was one of my duty free purchases from my hols and omg - it's amazeballs. I've never said amazeballs in my life eek. Anywho, I'd seen a few reviews on this aaaages ago and when I saw it I was like why not! Just give it a whirl. So?

I popped in the shower, and on contact with water it foams up like a normal shower gel - but a bit thicker, which was NOT what I expected, but pleasantly surprised! Lather all over and it honestly feels like luxury. Yes, it's a pricey piece of shower stuff so it should feel like luxury, but I felt really pampered after using this. I couldn't smell almond too much, which isn't a bad thing for me as I'm not a huge fan of the smell.

Overall, I love this. My skin feels really pampered and moisturised, silky silky soft and just overall a really fab, but incredibly pricey, product. I wouldn't buy it again just because of the price - but I am definitely on the lookout for a good dupe!

Any Size | Maxi Dress

It's back! Any Size has had a bit of a hiatus for many different reasons - non of which I'll bored you with, all you need to know is... it's back! This week I've decided to go with Maxi dresses - a style that seriously anyone can wear, any size and it's so versatile. So let's take a peek at what the ladies have popped together this week!

Size 8 | Angharad from Style Trunk

A truly gorgeous dress and a new take on maxi - maxi sleeves, maxi skirt, definitely maxi print. I love it and makes her look teeny tiny. Gorgeous gorgeous example.

Size 10 | Lisa from Topaz & May

Done when I have longer hair, but I love the bright colour of this dress and the way it comes in at the waist, showing curves by creating an hourglass figure.

Size 12 | Sarah from Friday is Forever

Showing you don't need to be a skinny minny for bright colours, this dress looks gorgeous on her, with the tie dye print elongating her figure and making her look amazing.

Size 14: Helen from Helen Hearts

blog | twitter | bloglovin

I love this dress, the print is delicate enough that it doesn't overshadow her gorgeous curvy figure. The dress comes in at all the right places to give her a mini waist and a long body.

All these girls are gorgeous and rock this look completely! Showing how to wear it for their shape. At the moment I am looking for sizes in crop top, white dress, dungarees and spots. If you're interested in taking part contact me on twitter or by email lisa@topazandmay.com

Make Up | Pink Nouveau

 

MAC SATIN LIPSTICK IN PINK NOUVEAU £15.00

O hello new Mac lippie. This is the first Satin I've tried from Mac and I have to say - I love the formula. It glides onto the lips so easily and settles for a long lasting finish. This is probably my favourite finish so far out of this, lustre and cremesheen.

The colour itself is a gorgeous pop of pink, it makes me think of the 80s, a very wearable neon pink that just adds that little something extra to a simple look. This wasn't what I expected when I ordered it, but I really do love it. It's so different to the other pinks I own and if you want something a little different I would highly recommend this. It also looks gorgeous with a tan!

What's your new MAC lippie purchase?

Haul | French Holiday

I know, I know. When people go to France they usually come back with a case full of skincare from a Pharmacy in Paris. However, where I was based there wasn't much of a chance. So I took my chance on different outings and duty free...

Mac Lipstick in Coral Bliss

I bought this from the Duty Free at Gatwick. I knew I wanted a gorgeous holiday colour and I definitely got it with Coral Bliss. I was actually looking for Costa Chic, but I'm so glad I got this instead. It's pale and pretty and perfect with a tan. Best duty free buy ever.

Blue Ring

I bought this gorgeous ring - hiding behind the lipstick - from a teeny little jewellery shop in a town up in the hills, St Guilhem et Desert. They had them in loads of different colours, but I of course went for the blues and greys and it's honestly gorgeous and really wearable.

Pandora Charm

When I went to Carcasonne I wasn't expecting to see a Pandora, however we spotted an advert, went in and opps - out I came with a charm. This is from their new collection, a white murano glass bead with black flowers. It's so gorgeous and a reminder of my holidays.

"L" Candle Holder

Again, a tiny little shop that help candles and bath products. These were on a spinner just inside. They had lots of different names and phrases, no Lisa but they had an L and I couldn't resist. It's the cutest little decoration for my room.

L'Occitane Shower Oil

Again, courtesy of another duty free - the tiny one in Montpellier. I've heard a lot about this, all great things, and my skin could use a little more moisture, so I thought this would be a great investment and so far I am loving this.

What do you think of my little haul?

Make Up | MAC Fix+

MAC FIX+ TRAVEL SIZE £8

I've heard about this, but never really looked into it. Well, I had some pennies left on a voucher so thought I'd snap up the travel version and give it a whirl.

The idea behind the Fix+ is that is fixes your make up in place, finishing it off as well as infusing your skin with radiance, minerals and vitamins. So I sprayed my face with this, after popping all my make up on and leave it be. It adds a nice subtle dewiness to the skin and is incredibly refreshing.

In terms of longevity, it did increase the amount of time my make up stayed on for - which is a definite bonus when you work in the equivilent of an over (thanks shop). However, since I starting using this my skin did start erupting in what can only be described as little volcanoes around my chin. Not pretty and really disconcerting.

I loved how this increased the stay of my make up, and the finish it gave - however I just can't use this due to the reaction on my skin. I'm glad I just bought the travel version. I think for someone who didn't have the same skin type as me, this would be a fantastic product.

Have you tried Fix+? Does it work for you?
