Priceline Haul: July 2012

It's always those times that I never intend to buy anything that I come away with a stack of beauty booty, anyone else have this problem? It's never when I go on the mission of finding a new foundation or when I'm after this particular shade of nail polish, those times I normally come away with nothing.
So, the goodies!

Tip of the day: Saving time in the morning

I'm not a morning person. At. All. So any time I can save in the morning is something I try to improve upon wherever I can, and it's not just for any who isn't a morning person. Just for the sake of getting out the door without wasting time is a huge help for anyone time poor too.
Tying in with this are a stack of little odd tasks in your routine that can overlap. Did you know that it is ideal to let your layers of make-up set between applying the next? Moisturiser, serums, primers, foundations, concealers That's five minutes of waiting just there! So here are some things you can do while you're waiting.

• Brush your teeth - This one is ideal for the earlier stages where you won't ruin your make up, just after moisturiser is ideal.
• Moisturise your legs - Takes two minutes if that.
• Apply deodorant and perfume - Something away for your face for a minute.
• Brush your hair/comb through any product - Rid your hair of its overnight tangles and apply any product you desire.

Another complete favourite of mine is during your shower, while you wait for your conditioner to develop (which is recommended by most brands for at least a couple of minutes) I find it good to cleanse your face, and either shave your legs or completely exfoliate your body with a pair of scrub gloves. Perfect amount of time!

Product review: Naughty Alice, Yum.

One of the first things I learnt about Vivienne Westwood is that she isn't your average designer. She is more punk rock then primadonna, and I love her for it. Her designs evoke a futuristic dystopia with its roots in the 80's and the sex pistols.
I once read that she wanted to design a perfume that smelt like 'a freshly washed fanny' Now I don't know about England but over here, a fanny is located on your front, not your behind.
Thankfully, this perfume doesn't resemble a butt or otherwise.
I'm a little behind the eightball for this perfume, but it was one of those things I had to save up for, and I love it all the more, it sits with pride on my dresser with its bracelet. (That I'm not allergic to, bonus.) The bracelet features her signature orb and heart logo on a gold chain.
The smell initially didn't appeal to me, but I squirted myself with it, and it develops into a gorgeous, seductive warmth.
It has notes of blackrose, ylang ylang, violet and musk, and is considered 'floriental' (lol). also it is a perfect fragrance for Winter, as I think it would be a little heavy for summer.

 

Go ahead and tell me the ad itself doesn't seduce you.
