Best of 2012

Raiding through my ever growing makeup drawer whilst trying to decipher what my my most used and loved beauty products have been over the past year, made me realise just how much my tastes have changed. Last January I would have picked MAC Studio Sculpt as my holy grail foundation in a heart beat, whereas today I would firmly chose Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.

Ive gone from opting for a neutral lip, needless to say creme cup has been replaced with various shades of bright pink (hello show orchid). As for skincare, I am no longer that girl who would lazily use wilkos finest face wipes and the cheapest cleanser on offer. These days I have a range of products that suit my skin, and in return ive noticed a dramatic difference in my complexion. 

So after much consideration, here it is my Best of 2012

What were your faviourite Beauty Products of 2012??

30 day challenge..Day 11

hello lovelies

im slightly lusting over my challenge question for today..drum roll: Bag you want to have 

there are so many bags i would love to own but i have two for you, one i have as a birthday present ( i have to wait till next week for it ) and one i know i will never ever have but a girl can dream.

so first up is Pauls Boutique Olivia bag in stripe. By all means this isnt a form of bragging. I think ive gone on about this bag for so long that my boyfriend decided to get it for me for my birthday :), its really annoying cause its been sat on top of his wardrobe for the last week or so, and i cant have it till next week aaah haha. 

I think Paul can describe it better than me:

Nautical inspired and with a touch of high-end glamour - this navy and white striped Olivia bag is the ultimate arm-candy for you to get your hands on this season. So don't miss out girls!

Complete with a large metal-plate logo and a set of customised Paul's Boutique charms, partner this structured piece with a striped shirt tucked into your favourite cargo shorts, then add the perfect finishing touches by layering the look with a tailored blazer for a fab way to inject your style with a drop of sailor-chic

And here it is

And on to a bag i want and know i shall never have .. Jimmy Choo Rosalie bag i dont think i really need to say anything about it , its just awesome

What bag do you want?? Anyone ever recieved a bag they never bargained on getting??

Thanks for reading my Rambles
