Clothes selection : H&M

Hello !

The weather was amazing in Paris yesterday, so I decided to go to Lush after university to buy me one of the cleansers of my wishlist. I finally bought Angels on bare skin instead of  Coalface, for no particular reason. I'll try it a few times and then I'll do a review about it.

On my way to Lush I passed in front of a H&M shop, and I saw wonderful clothes on the models : cream colours, lace, summer items... So I decided to do a little selection on the H&M website to see what good stuff they have in at the moment.

Here are my favourite pieces !

First I chose this simple white top, and the design on it is wonderful ! I love animal print, on clothes, accessories, on everything. So this flamingos top would be perfect for summer. And it is only 9.99€ !

Again for spring and summer (why do I say that ! it's logical, H&M is not going to sell thick jumpers or knitted scarves now, WTF me !), this pair of shorts is very pretty. It has pastel pink roses and greenish leaves. Just like the model, you could wear it with a plain white top - or even a white lacy top, because everything is cuter with lace ! 

It is 14.95€.

 

I think I fell in love with this dress. It is a creamy white summer dress, with lace on the collar and on the top.

It looks romantic and pretty, it would look amazing with simple brown flat sandals, or even a little more dressed up with black tights and and heels. I really think I'm gonna buy it... I'll go and see what it looks like in the store, maybe to get it ! 

It is 29.95€.

Well this type of skirt is not usually my style, but I quite like it. The print is pretty, particularly the colours. And the material is covered in sort of glitter. It must be shiny in the sun, that's so cool ! It can rock a plain black top, or anything else really. It is more formal than the rest of the clothes I chose, so maybe it would be a nice thing to wear during a summer party ! It is 29.95€.

And now for the accessories, I've selected a few things :

 This tiny bright bag is so cool, the colour is amazing ! This is a typical summer accessory, that can add a pop of colour to every outfit. Of course you cannot carry loads of stuff in there, but if you go out for a walk or just have lunch outside, you can put in just what you need. And it is 12.95€ only !

What an amazing ring ! It must look so beautiful in the sun, with green, turquoise and blue shades all over.

And the side details, with sort of silver tree leaves, are really cute. 

For 3.95€, it is definitely worth it !

And last but not least, a scarf ! it is from the Conscious collection. The design on the scarf is awesome, it almost looks like a painting you could have on your wall ! I really like the jungle theme of this collection, it has some wonderful pieces - including the sleeveless top I put on my wishlist.

This scarf is the same price as the little bag, 12.95€ !

So that is all for my little selection, I hope you like these items too !

They all remind of warmer days, and maybe this will help the sun to finally come to us !

Review : Sephora body butters

Hello !

It's time for a review !

So I'm a bit mad about body products, I always want to try a lot of new creams, butters, shower gels, etc. During the last sales (in January), I bought two Sephora body butters - I got them for 4€ both, what a bargain ! And since then I've been using them.

I have the monoï body butter, and the pineapple/grenadine one.

They are 200ml, so they can last you very long.

The texture is not very thick, compared to the Body Shop butters. It goes quite well into the skin, you don't feel sticky or anything after you've applied it.

For the scents, I really love the monoi one. I wanted to keep it for the summer but... I'm weak, so I've started using it already. It smells soooo good.

I'm not so keen on the pineapple/grenadine one, just because it's not really my type of scent. But it's still quite good, other people must enjoy it.

The best thing about those scents is that when you put your clothes on just after putting it, you can notice some time later that your clothes do smell the body butter... I don't know it had never happened to me with another butter or cream so I thought it was cool. It is !

These body butters are available at Sephora for 9.90€, in a lot of different scents. I think when I finish the butters I have, I'll try the cotton flower one. It will be perfect for spring and summer.

Bybye !

Wishlist : April '13

Hi everyone !

This is my second wishlist of the year. I always love making these lists because the thought of buying things makes me happy. Yeah, maybe it's a disease like when you play poker too much or something, but what can you do ?
I'll probably don't even buy everything from my wishlist anyway. From my March wishlist, I only bought the dress and the Make Up Forever foundation (which I'll be reviewing soon !). Unfortunately, I didn't find the New Look necklace that I wanted, and I didn't like the chambray skirt when I saw it in the shop.
Concerning the Coalface cleanser from Lush... I may buy it this month, but I'm not sure now that I have spotted another cleanser that seems good. We'll see !
And I'm adding a book in this wishlist, because I've wanted to read it for so long it's now an obsession, I need to get it !

So here is the list :

1. H&M sleeveless blouse from the Conscious collection, here for £9.99.

2. Angels on Bare Skin, Lush, £6.25 for 100g.

or (I'm not sure of what to choose yet)

3. Coalface, Lush, 4.70 for 100g.

4. Tan cat face clip frame purse, New Look, on the website for 4.99€.

5. Ultra Glossy Stylo (SPF 15), Kiko, you can have it here (the brand ships in the UK) for 4.90€.

6. Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen (any edition really, it will not be more than 5€).

***

That's all for this month ! again not a huge list featuring loads of Chanel or MAC products, I would be too disappointed if I made a list and ended up buying nothing from it, heh.

I wish you all a very nice weekend !

What I'm loving right now #2 : dyed hair

Hello there !

I find that hair is such a good tool for developing creativity and imagination, you can do anything with it, and even if you try and doesn't like something, in the end it grows again so nothing is definitive. But so many people I know are so fearful about changing anything about their hair - not just because they already like it as it is, but sometimes because their minds are stuck with "if I don't like it I will have to live every single day with this fail on my head". It's so sad...

So this post is a homage to unconventional coloured hair. Because when I see someone in the tube with green hair, I feel happy because of this pop of colour that just came out of someone's head, "it would be so cool if I dyed my hair green, I should try that !".

For example I really love Charlotte Free's hair, I'm not really into models and stuff like that but she's the first model I saw in the magazines who was especially described by her unusual hair colour.

And here are a few other pictures I really liked. They all come from Tumblr or Pinterest :

I think bright coloured ombre hair are fabulous !

Blue and green hair always make me think of mermaid hair, I love it. Because I looove mermaids.

  

But it can remind of fairies too. I love fairies. (Do I sound like a five-year-old girl here ? that's alright though.)

But my favourite haircolour will always be red... Bright red, dark red, pinky red, ginger. All kinds of red !

And finally a beautiful pink colour which I would totally go for if my skintone allowed it ! It just looks wonderful.
