Inika Lip Whip

I was very excited for my May She Said Beauty Box as I LOVED the April one and I have not been disappointed.

This is the first review of one of the gorgeous products in this Month's box...

Inika Vegan Lip Whip in Apricot £14.30

I won one of their sample foundations through a Twitter competition a little while ago (review still to come...) and was really impressed with that so I was giddy when I saw a little Inika box in my beauty box...

I was quite excited it was the Inika lip gloss in this months box and, if I'm honest, I was really hoping for it in 'Melon' or 'Berry', so when I got the 'Apricot' version I was slightly disappointed at first.

Then I put it on. Normally I do go for pinker shades as I feel these colours like 'Apricot' are too goldy and brown for me, however I feel in love with this product and the colour as soon as I put it on.

It glides on really easily, and I'm not usually a fan of the squeezy tube gloss, and it doesn't feel stupidly stick like gloss usually does. It stayed on for a good couple of hours. It really hydrated my lips and made them feel plumb. I usually have a problem with dry lips so this was perfect.

Would definitely recommend this product, I'm not sure if I would pay £14.30 for a lip gloss, but I really did love this product and if I'm honest I probably would buy it after I've finished this one.

I would definitely LOVE to try the other colours 'Berry', 'Melon' and 'Peach'.

Also, please excuse the apparently hairiness of my bottom lip - never noticed it until this picture!

Have you tried Inika before?

Lots of Lace Love

I have a little bit of an addiction to lace.. Which you may have guessed by now if you're a regular reader of the blog. This outfit is no different...

Cardigan. Oasis

Dress. H&M (you can't get it in black anymore but you can get it in another colour)

Necklace & Earrings. Accessorize (see review here)

First of all I apologise for the just rained on frizzy mess of hair in these photos, this weather is playing havoc with my hair!

I love this dress, I purchased it on my recent girly trip to Bournemouth from trusty H&M, I couldn't decide between it in black or nude coloured but went for trusty black in the end. It's so flattering and really easy to wear. I did have to get a size bigger then usual however as my usual side my my boobs come up to my chin... 

This cardigan is a couple of years old now so you won't be able to get it anymore. It's gorgeous, I LOVE the back (hello again lace!) and its just that bit different. I love the draped front as well as it's different to any of my other cardigans.

You'll also notice my lovely new Accessorize purchases - eek can't stop wearing them (just not around the puppy...)
Actually, this is completely puppy-unfriendly outfit... He decided he also really likes lace, but he prefers to eat it then appreciate it... bad puppy!

What's your lace love?

Green and Gold

I love Accessorize - what girl doesn't? So it is ridiculously dangerous for me to work in a town centre which has an Accessorize in it...

However, I'm very proud of myself and today (3 months in...) was the first day I purchased myself something and I LOVE my pieces.

I've been eyeing both pieces up for a couple of months now and I decided to treat myself as I was so tired from my beautiful puppy waking me up at 6am every morning...

Firstly - sorry for the awful quality of the first image, didn't realise it was that bad until I popped it into photoshop and by then all natural light was gone :(

Anywho, onto product...

I couldn't find the earrings on the website (sorry folks!) but I can tell you they are £6 and absolutely gorgeous. My friend Andra has got me addicted to big earrings so these were absolutely perfect to go with this necklace, or just to dress up a black outfit.

I have literally picked up this necklace so many times to go and purchase it and kept putting it back thinking "no I don't need it..." but yes, yes I DO! It was £10 and you can find it here on their website. 

I just love the contrast of the gold and the green, this green is my favourite kinda stone on jewellery and I have so many different pieces that'll match it. I also find it's a great colour to use with navy and also white for a Spring/Summer look (if we ever get our Spring or Summer here in the UK!).

Have you got anything from Accessorize lately?

Barry M Magnetic Nails

I was having a bit of a down day at work the other day and seeing as I usually buy my lunch at Boots I thought I'd cheer myself up with a new nail varnish.

As a Barry M fan I headed straight for their counter and was pleasantly surprised to see their new Magnetic nail varnish so thought "why not" - give it a go!

I chose Burgandy as I thought it was such a nice colour and different to the others in the magnetic range I found in my local Boots.

You're meant to pop your base coat on first (which I will admit I never do) and then do your first coat.

Leave the first coat to dry, don't magnetise this.

Then apply your second coat, and straight after doing it on each nail hover the magnet on lip over for 5 seconds and wait for the magic to work :)

What I really like about it is it's 3D effect. Not sure you can really see it in the pictures, but when you look down on it it does look like it should have a raised texture, buts it's smooth smooth smooth!

I can't wait to try other colours, am wondering if the other colours have different patterns at all? 

I tried moving the magnet around on one of the nails but was still the same pattern as when holding it still.

Really like this, love the colour and just love how different the effect is and also how EASY it was to use. 

4 days later and its still there, no chips so quality is good as well :) happy lisa!

I have had SO many compliments about my nails since as well and people asking me how I did it - thanks Barry M!

Have you tried any of the metallic range? What's your favourite?

Butterfly Fly Away

Ever since I bought my first pair of Topshop's Supersoft jeans I have been wanting another pair, lots and lots of pairs!

So when I got paid I thought RIGHT, new jeans! My other black jeans are a tad on the tight side these days so I thought I'd be practical and grab me some new black ones :)

Teamed with a casual top it made the perfect outfit for a casual dinner out with the boyf

Top H&M

Jeans Topshop

Necklace Boutique in Portugal

Bangle Made by Mum

Bracelet Links of London

Love this top from H&M, definite impulse buy and it's so comfy and girly! You can dress it up and down so it's the perfect wardrobe item. Plus it has butterflies on it, and anyone who knows me knows I love my butterflies...

My necklace I love, I got it from a little tent at a sand exhibition for about 5 euros, its really silver and I adore it. Best bargain buy ever!

My lovely little heart bangle was made by my lovely Mummy. She did a silver jewellery making course at college in the Autumn and made us one each. It's very simple, very cute and goes with everything.

And of course my trusty Links charm bracelet :) (review to come on this)

Love this little outfit, so simple, so cute.

What's your new go-to outfit?
