Pink Love!

Lately I've been loving everything pink so I decided to put a list together of my most recent favourites and a little list of things I've had my eye on!

Chanel le vernis nail colour - May

I love this colour so much and I've wanted to try one of the Chanel polishes for a while but they're rather expensive! Hopefully one day I'll be able to actually test this polish and see if it's as good as its reputation.

Crew jumper - Classic Pink

I love these jumpers - I have 2 already and I love this colour! The jumpers are perfect and so soft and pretty.

Essie - Lovie Dovie

This is quite a good dupe for the Chanel polish but I actually have this one! I still need to use it but I'll review it once I have!

Dolce & Gabanna - Dolce eau de Parfum

This technically isn't pink but the flower on top has pink in it so it counts, right?! I need to buy this and it's such a pretty scent that I eventually will!

Natural Collection blush - Sugar Plum

Picture from here (haven't had time to take a picture and this is the best I can find!)

Its an amazing blush for the price and a really lovely colour, it also stays on for quite a long time too!

Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick - Pink in the Afternoon

One of my favourite mid-tone pinks and I wear it most days when I can't be bothered to spend a long time choosing a lip colour. It suits me really well and I love it!

Pink Marc de Champagne truffles

These chocolates from Charbonnel et Walker are honestly the best things I've ever had. I have an addiction but they're sadly rather expensive so I can't have them too often.

MUA Velvet lip laquer - Funk

This is a really bold and bright pink and I love it. I'm loving matte lipsticks lately and this is probably the best I own, the colour lasts for ages and doesn't dry my lips out like quite a few matte lip products tend to do.

Chanel Rouge Lipstick - 62 Irrésistible

It smells of rose macarons, has the prettiest packaging and colour and lasts amazingly long for a lipstick that isn't matte, what isn't there to love?! If these lipsticks weren't so expensive, I'd buy loads more in a heartbeat!

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick - 101

This is a really pretty matte lipstick and is pretty similar to Pink in the Afternoon but is obviously matte instead. I think this is the lightest colour I can pull off without looking washed out and silly so I'm glad I bought it and took a chance with it!

Fentiman's Rose Lemonade

I love this lemonade so much, it's probably my favourite drink full stop. I love all rose flavoured things but this is just perfect. The bottles are also really pretty and I'm going to use one to hold a flower in my University room come September!

Hope you enjoyed this post, I've never done something like this so I might try it with different colours!

Pompeii and Wimborne

If you haven't already realised, I've been absent for the last 6 days! I was with my boyfriend down in Dorchester which was a lot of fun! I have also been super busy back home for the last two days (One day included the Emergency bag kit) so I shall do a blog post on that soon!

I finally got to visit the Pompeii exhibition at The British Museum in London and it was fantastic. It was really eye opening to see real everyday objects from an event that happened so long ago. You don't get to see what Roman life was like for poorer people as much as the rich so Pompeii and Herculaneum are rare chances to actually look into this world from a perspective other than the rich of that world. I found some of the exhibits fascinating but heart-breaking too. The were moulds of people that were found and you could see the looks on their faces which was haunting. Unfortunately, you weren't allowed to take photos and the book with the pictures and explanations in was £25 so I don't have any pictures to show you. This exhibition was absolutely fascinating though so please please please go and visit while it's still there, it's completely worth it and 16-18 year olds and Students get in for only £12.50! It is pretty much a once in a lifetime opportunity so I really suggest you see this part of History that hasn't been properly seen before. 

The day after, we went to Wimborne. It's such a pretty place and it also had some great shops which is always good! Being me, I took a trip to the Superdrug and bought a new lip gloss/cream which is amazing, but I'll do a separate blog on that sometime later on! All I'm saying is that it smells gorgeous and looks really lovely! There was also an old fashioned sweet shop so I bought quite a few sweets! Orange and passionfruit hard boiled sweets are some of my favourites now.

Thursday was a lazy day because the windows were being replaced in the house so we ended up watching films all day! I've finally seen Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows so I'm super happy about that! Even though I love the BBC Sherlock, Robert Downey Junior and Jude Law play Sherlock and John perfectly and I laughed so much through both of the Sherlock Holmes films! 

I left Mark's house the next day but before, he bought me Marie Claire magazine to read on the 4 hour (lots of waiting between trains) journey back to my house. It contained a little tester of a perfume called Intense by Dolce & Gabanna and it smells so good! It has the cutest packaging too, if you pull up the tab, it turns into a little cardboard bottle that you squeeze and it sprays the perfume! It's amazing! The website says that the perfume has "subtle hints of Neroli and Green Mandarin, creamy and enveloping qualities of Orange Flower plays alongside the deep voracious trail of Tuberose, giving an intense full-bodied feminine signature to the fragrance, that turns heads and intrigues and the warm resinous Sandal Wood and the sensual Musky notes that blend irresistibly with the creamy addiction of the Guimauve, defining a powerful presence of captivating sensuality." It sounds so funny like that, but it's honestly such a nice scent. It's stronger so it's more of a going out, nighttime perfume but I love it.
