Green + Orange | Mini Haulin'


I finally picked up Reggae Splash from Morrisons the other morning when I had to run out and buy emergency cigars (!) for Joshua. I patted myself on the back for not picking up more colours (trying to curb spending only slightly, I need to save yo'!) and made my way back home. Coming home however and it seems a few small packages had arrived and what tumbled out was all green and orange.

First up, obviously just going to touch on Reggae Splash - it's beautiful - I'm currently rocking it on toes and fingers which never usually happens. It's a subtle summer colour and I dig it. 

A bit boring, but the silicone ice trays were a purchase from eBay - we some how lost ours and had taken to using sandwich bags tied in a knot because we were all so desperate for some ice. I know you can get pretty cool shaped ones but this was just 'grab a bog standard one and be done' kind of thing - plus my local supermarket had sold out and I wasn't about to venture into the city for an ice tray, not in this weather!

I managed to get a sample of the Origins Drink Up Intensive mask to test on my skin, this product has been raved about but I have probably mentioned before - I'd rather get a sample first before shelling out for skin care - I have sensitive/dry skin and sometimes it's paid off being sensible this way. Saying that, I am so eager to try this bad boy!

Last but not least a new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable shade (Charm) for me to lust over - but this one is not in the UK stores I believe so I had to hit eBay for it, and it worked out cheaper than the ones here in the shops anyway! It's a gorgeous peachy shade and feel it's going to have pride of place in my make up bag...

Peace!

Naranja




I love orange. I love the colour, the fruit (and all of its variations - satsumas are my favourite, if you wanted to know...) the smell, oh my god the smell. When I do buy cleaning supplies (rare, I leave that up to Mama,) I tend to go for orange scented items. It's just so clean and fresh and just, oh my. It reminds me of Spain, the heat and the light foods - you get it, I dig oranges.

So when it tends to come to skincare - if it works, amazing, if it smells like oranges - good god, I'm in heaven.

Case in point; the Burts Bees Facial Cleanser - it feels like a slightly exfoliating oil/balm (albeit a light balm,) once you work it in and the smell is incredible. I love using this in the morning as a pick me up. You can buy it here.

Secondly, a freebie, and I think I am right in saying it was from In Style magazine (either that or Marie Claire... I have a poor memory,) the Neals Yard hand cream has the same intense orange scent and is so lovingly used of a night time before I get shut eye. You can buy it here.

Last but not least, although its technically not wildly orange - it has a citrus scent that I adore, the Tisserand Energise  roller ball. Perfect for on the wrists for mornings when you need, well, energising! I bought mine at feel unique.

What's your favourite scent? 

Peace!

three things birthday wish list...

1//2//3

It's all well and good me saying 'here's a Christmas gift guide, folks!' - but it's actually my birthday before that... maybe I just wanted to forget I'll be another year older? Le sigh...

Anyway, three little things I wouldn't mind being gifted to me on my 22nd year. ;)

Normal posts shall resume soon! I promise.

I am working this weekend, what are you doing lovelies?

Peace!
