I spotted the new Paco Rabanne fragrance being promoted at the airport before we caught our flight to go on holiday a few weeks ago and it was love at first smell. It's described as 'a fresh oriental fragrance' with three accords of 1. Green Mandarin, Ginger Lily and Hydroponic Jasmine; 2. Salty Vanilla and 3. Cashmere Wood and Ambergris. Admittedly I'm the worst at being able to describe or pick out certain scents in a fragrance and can just about tell whether something is either rich or fruity smelling, but what I do know is that this smells gorgeous and is definitely one that will take pride of place on my dressing table- just look at that bottle! The smell lasted for ages too and even withstood a ten hour flight. Lucky for me my mum works at the airport so I can still get this with duty free discount!
I currently have a Cath Kidston wash bag which comes with me every time I spend the night away and is spacious enough to fit in my toiletry essentials. The problem is that when I go away on holiday and bring all the added extra that you perhaps wouldn't bring on a one night stopover, such as shampoo and conditioner, sun cream etc I find myself fighting for more space This Ted Baker wash bag is really nice and big and such a pretty design too that it will make a great addition alongside my Cath Kidston wash bag.
MAC Eye Kohl in Costa Riche | £14
I normally opt for brown eyeliner as I find it looks less harsh on my eyes than black, and I've currently been looking out for a kohl pencil. These are a lot softer than a regular pencil, making it easier to smudge for a smoky look. I'm not overly fussy with eye pencils as I find they're mostly much of a muchness , but the most important thing is that it has a strong pigment and stays in place without melting off. According to reviews MAC's Kohl pencils seem to do just that and the price isn't too bad either so I'm definitely up for putting it to the test.
I didn't even know such a thing as bottom lash mascara existed until Porcelain Beauty mentioned it on her blog a few months back and it has been on my wishlist ever since. I'm so fussy when it come to mascara on my bottom lashes as I hate it looking at all clumpy, which often ends up happening as the lashes are so fine. This has a super small brush enabling for absolute precision and to get to those hard to reach lashes. It's also said to be smudge proof too which is perfect for avoiding the panda look!
Morphe 35O Nature Glow Palette | £22.95
I don't actually own any Morphe products but I follow them on Instagram and I'm constantly swooning over their Eyeshadow palettes. The 35O is one of their newest palettes and the colours look so wearable featuring browns, coppers, bronzes and beiges and a few dusky pinks too. I get the feeling that with this palette I won't need to buy another Eyeshadow again... er maybe!
ASOS RAMSDEN Western Leather Zip Ankle Boots | £45
It saddens me a little that I'm writing this but summer is over and we're now into Autumn so it's time to put away my flip flops and sandals and dust off my winter boots. Last year I ended buying three pairs of black boots so I'm all set in that department however I've noticed a lack of brown boots- tan brown to be precise- so it's only right that I get that fixed immediately. After having a little browse around I came across these from ASOS which are just what I'm looking for a will look great teamed with a pair of dark denim jeans.
