The colours of love...

I'd always wanted to try China Glaze and only saw it on YouTube videos but I couldn't find it anywhere.

I love living in a small, rural city but that is the biggest downside... having to go to big cities just for a lipstick or a nail lacquer.

I nearly dropped dead when I saw a Sally's was opening and then I saw that gigantic OPI stand. That was amazing but I already tried OPI and then just to the left of it... there it was... the hallelujah music started and I almost let out a tear.

The first one I saw was Poinsettia. It's a bright red that stayed on my nails a whole two weeks before if even chipped once *top coat included of course*. It is on par with OPI. Neither better than the other for me. I just prefer the China Glaze price tag.

I paid £7 for Poinsettia and then got Rich & Famous and Skate Night on sale for £3.50 each. Bargain alert!

I am in love with Rich & Famous. It's my go-to polish if I'm unsure of what to wear. It brightens up my day whenever I look down and see that bright, beautiful pink!

Skate Night is definitely my least favourite of the three but it is a staple in Winter. It's a dark red with gold shimmer in it. It is very pretty.

Giving me fever...

So, I've always been a huge fan of Beyoncé. I've always looked upto her and wanted that body! Oh, Lord... that body!

I've never been a huge fan of celebrity fragrances. I would always get them as gifts. I did like a few... J.Lo Miami Glow, Christina Aguilera's first perfume and Darling by Kylie Minogue... this may sound like a lot but I have so much perfume! Those three are just a few at the bottom of a full drawer and Darling is actually my mother's.

When I heard that my boyfriend's sister-in-law wanted this as a gift from us last Christmas... I complimented her choice and thought nothing of it.

As soon as I saw the shape of the box under the tree... I knew what they got me. The full set!

I hadn't even smelled it... I was just being polite but it was lovely of them to remember.

Now, when it comes to the actual fragrance... I am not a fan. It is way too strong for me.

I'm usually a fan of deep, woody tones but this is migraine-inducing. 

I absolutely HATE vanilla. I find it so sickly and annoying and I can smell it in this scent.

It's very, very sickly and it's the kind of perfume that you spray once and run in order to avoid smelling like a prostitute's purse.

On a brighter note... I actually love the body lotion and body wash! They're not as strong and the lotion soaks into my skin straight away.

I'm usually one for more organic scents on my skin but I use this now and then when Mikey and I have a date night.

The body wash is on the left and the lotion is on the right.

I still haven't mentioned what I love most about the lotion yet... it has shimmer in it! 

I hate glitter but I adore subtle shimmers in blushes, bronzers and lotions! It has the most amazing, gold shimmer and it makes you look like Edward Cullen trapped in the Bahamas. Pretty lush!
