Bourjois - So Laque!

Just before i took my polish off, thought I'd take a quick pic and show you guys. This colour is so lovely. It goes with pretty much most of my outfits and its a really versatile colour. Its like a muted down beige/pink and matches my natural lip colour. Its called Beige Glamour 05 by Bourjois.

5 favourite body moisturisers

There's nothing more I hate than crusty, dry, white, flaky skin....eek, the thought makes me cringe! I moisturise everyday after I've come out the shower as it soaks up the cream better. These 5 are the best I've come across so far and believe me I've tried ALOT! I need a cream that absorbs, moisturises,(obviously), lasts all day and smells gorgeousssss!

• Body Shop Moringa Body Butter - Normal/ Dry skin. This cream has a lovely floral scent that lasts all day! Its quite a strong scent as I even sniffed it on my cousin on a night out! I loveeee the flavours/ scents available at the Body Shop and have collected a few of them (the mango one is close to edible too). Warning: You may be in two minds either to put it on your skin or in your mouth...(the latter is not recommended).
• Derma intensive Premium Coconut Body Butter. This is obviously taken inspiration form the Body Shop butters and surprisingly the quality is good. I was expecting a crap version of the Body shop one but it's quite good! (And 1/4 of the price). I bought this one from Asda.
• As a massive, humongous fan of Lush, I have to include the one, the only, Dream Cream! This stuff its amazinggggg! I've been through about 3/4 pots of this stuff and works really well on normal but also damaged/ skin allergies. I used it on my brother who's allergic to latex gloves and came out in a nasty rash, put this stuff on and it died down within a day! It smells very lavendery/ chamoliey but I like it. As Lollipop mentioned http://www.lollipop26writes.com/2010/05/lush-is-lush.html, you might find it better to use as night than day as its quite thick.
• Jergens naturals - this moisturiser is 96% natural and so is a big hit with me. I love organic products as I find they work better with my stupidly sensitive skin. Ive tried the Total Nourishment one (well actually the bf's as I've got him hooked on Jergens too) but I love the smell of this one - fresh and zingy!
• And finally good ol' Johnsons baby oil! Use this stuff if you've got really reallly dry skin. Always use it after a shower when your skin is wet to maximise benefits. I also find its good to use as a shaving lotion if I'm in a hurry too. Works great as a massage oil too;) (get someone lovely and gorgeous looking to do it for you)!
  

Jewellery Storage

After watching many videos and blogs for jewellery storage, I have finally found my way of storing a silly amount of costume jewellery. I LOVE costume jewellery as it can jazz up any outfit and makes it look so much more interesting. I used to hang everything up on a cork board before but I prefer it hidden away, well at least some of it! I bought these hooks on eBay but they look really easy to make them yourself! (just make sure you use strong glue as I've had a few frights in the night from hooks falling off and necklaces falling inside my cupboard!!) I bought 2 and its just enough to put my necklaces on.



This box is from Ikea so is the white fabric box (it comes in a pack of 6 or 8 I think) to hang earrings on and store things inside too.
And a perfume bottle comes handy to put bracelets around aswell..

How do you store your lovely jewellery?

Oh my gosh!

Ok so unfortunately I'm one of the unblessed that needs make up even when I'm wearing a swim suit and that means wearing waterproof makeup. Let me introduce you to these badboys! They are from Gosh and are available in Superdrug. I can't remember how much I paid for them but I think they were around £5 which I think is well worth the money. They work as an excellent waterproof eyeshadow on it's own and as a base and plus they stay on for agessssssss. They are available in various colours and here are the ones that I have....

• Love that Ivory!
• Love that Beige!
• Love that Champagne!
• Love that Pink!
  
• Love that Moss!

The beige and the ivory look similiar in the photo but the ivory is metallic white pearl and the beige has a gold undertone.

An introduction...

I think I'll start off by introducing myself...ah hem..My names Deena and my interest in beauty has led me to make my own blog post. I've been too lazy in the past to do one so I thought I'd have a bash and see how it goes:) anyways hope you enjoy my ramblings...
