Marc Jacobs Dot| Review

Hi everyone today i'm here with a review about a very well know product in the blogging community. It's the Dot perfume by Marc Jacobs. I have seen quite a few bloggers talking about their first impressions by the new honey perfume but as I am nearly finished with Dot I though I would give this a good review.

 First of all I love all the colours on the bottle, they stand out and are kind of retro. I only got the small size in this perfume as it was a present and I did not know if I would like it or not. The full sized bottle looks much more elaborate and detailed but this one is cute and dainty. I really like the pearl and the butterfly it makes it look girly and eye-catching. In my opinion Marc Jacobs never fail with their perfume bottles.

The smell is amazing. Its got a couple of floral notes but its very fresh and is great for anytime but I think it's a spring/summer designed scent. I would wear it anytime. I really like how the smell is not to overpowering but will last for a long time. I'm one of these people who get a sore head when a perfume is too strong but this one is fine and does not give me a headache. 

Im usually into more fruity perfumes and sweet scents but I really like this smell a lot. 

According to the perfume shop website, the perfume is described as being "Dot is a lush juicy floral - happy and vivacious. The top captivates with a delectable blend of red berries, succulent dragon fruit  and sweet honeysuckle. The lush floral heart of the fragrance blooms with addictive jasmine mingled with energizing notes of coconut water and orange blossom. The scent rounds out with a feminine dry down of creamy vanilla, driftwood, and sensual musks."

I think the reason I like this unique scent is because its wearable and because it's light. It's good for school and you can smell the hints of vanilla and blossom in the perfume. I love the packaging to and I think this perfume is brilliant (as you can probably tell by the amount if it i have left)

You can buy this perfume in just about any perfume store as it's pretty popular. On the website the perfume size I have is £38.50 which is a bit pricey but it's a lovely perfume and it lasts a very long time. You can also get it in bigger sizes but it's about 10 pound more. 

Thank you for reading my review, please let me know in the comments what's your favourite perfume at the moment. Thanks again, bye!

Things That Make Me Happy #3

Hey everyone. Woo, the third Things That Make Me Happy post is here. I get really excited about doing these. I know that's kinda sad but I'm a really sad person. If you haven't seen the last one, you can check it out here. Ok, now on with the post.

I think this desk space looks so cute. I really love how organised it is. The fairy lights also make it look girly and just lovely in general. All the pastel neutral colours and the apple iMac is just beautiful. I know it's only a computer. Also, the Sephora bag really makes you wish that the UK had a Sephora. I want to go makeup shopping so bad. 

I always really love quotes which talk about inner beauty. I found this quote on we heart it and thought it was a really nice.

I've seen a lot of pictures of people doing this. I think it's called paddle surfing. This picture makes me want to do it so much and the water in this picture just looks lovely. I really want to go to LA and just do this and swim.

How pretty does this look, it looks lovely (I say this about everything). I think it's strawberry sorbet but it looks so yummy and perfect for the summer. Or in my case, all year round. woo!

Now it's the man of the week. Niall! I know most people don't like one direction and think their fan's are all like 12 but I love them. Niall looks gorgeous in this picture and he is in a suit which makes him like 1,000,000 times more attractive. If that was even possible. I love guys in suits.

I've always loved King Charles Cocker Spaniels. I think they are so cute- I think all puppies are cute. I think this picture is adorable and the puppies little nose, one word- aww. I love them so much. 

I went to Rome in June and loved it, this picture I found on we heart it makes me want to go back. It was such an amazing experience and Rome is such a beautiful city. I'm definitely going back when I get the chance all the architecture and history was just incredible.

I really like messy buns but I always think that my hair is so flat to do a decent one. I think this hairstyle is so pretty and can really make an outfit girly or tie it together.

Ok now for the shocker. I don't really like tattoos  I think that most look really nice on other people- but not on myself. I think meaningful tattoo's are such a great way to remember someone as it's always on you- just look at it everyday. I really like this tattoo in the picture I do think its a bit big but I love infinity symbols in general and I also love the bedding. I know that's not what the main focal point in this picture is but I like it. If I were to get it, I would just get the infinity sign on my finger so it's small but pretty at the same time.

Thank you for reading everyone. Please link your blogs below and let me know what's something that has made you happy this week.

Beauty VS. Brains Tag

I've always liked the idea of this tag and I have always been really interested in doing it for a while. It was quite popular on Youtube a while back and seemed quite fun to do- like most tags so I thought I would try it. I really like doing tags as it's good to get to know someone and I think this is the best way through our blog.

1. What is your favourite book?

I do read books but not as much as a lot of people. I would my favourite book would have to be the fault in our stars by John Green because I was so attached to the characters and it managed to make me cry. It was an amazing book. I also really like the hunger games but I feel that the fault in our stars was top of my list.

2. Which mottos do you like saying a lot?

Fashion over function. I've got bigger fish to fry. Build a bridge and get over it. You can't have a better tomorrow if you don't stop thinking about yesterday. Even though everyday may not be good, there is something good in everyday. 

3. Which do you prefer: English or maths?

I don't really like either to be honest. I would have to say English though, I enjoy the classes and the subject as a whole much better. I feel maths you have to think a lot more and if you know me you will know i'm terrible at maths.

4. Which do you prefer: science or art?

I love art, I've always loved it. I really like the subject and feel it's a subject which makes me a bit more confident. I also think drawing and doing art relaxes me and that's really nice. I do like science but like maths I think it's a subject which requires you to think a lot more. I love science so much more than maths though.

5. Name 5 albums/artists that have changed your life.

I'm not a huge fan of music, I do like it but I don't think that a particular album has changed my life. There are songs that cheer me up and mean things to me though but again it's not really a lot. As sad as I am I like One direction and I can actually feel people following our blog right now. I just like certain songs because they remind me of certain things for example 'what makes you beautiful' that played when Louise, Rachel, Hayley and I were in Edinburgh for winter wonderland. I also love Adele sky-fall because it was in James Bond and I loved when my family and I went to see that at the cinema together. There are many more songs I like that I associate with a memory but not an album or an artist. 

6. What were your favourite and least favourite subjects at school?

I would have to say my favourite is a tie between product design, I love subect that so much. I also love art too! My least favourite subject would have to be Maths or german. I really don't do languages.

7. Who is your favourite celebrity with a brain?

I think that Emma Watson is really smart and she's lovely (well she seems smart!) . I also like Steve Jobbs because he created apple and apple have beautiful products. I love computers and technology.

8. What is your nerdy secret?

I always remember what people are wearing and were they have got it from, I love shops so It's easy for me to remember stuff like that. I also really like to just sit and colour in a picture, it's really ralaxing in my opinion. I also remember certain dates easily like birthdays and my friends parents birthdays. That's really weird but for some reason I remember it. I also find it really fun to make up rhymes to remember an important peice of information. Like in chemistry i still remember 'A solute is what you put and a Solvent is where it went' I really like funny things like that.

9. Who are your favourite beauty/fashion gurus that you admire for more than their beauty/fashion sense?

I really like Ingrid a.k.a MissGlamorazzi on Youtube. I think that she seems like a really nice person and I admire her because of that. I also really like Louise because she is also a lovely person but I love her blog as she's a really create writer and she's passionate about it and puts a lot of effort into it. I also admire Louise as she always gives of a positive vibe. She is very optimistic and always sees the best in things. I don't most of the time. 

10. If you could study anything anywhere what would you study and where?

Fashion marketing in New York.

11. If your blog wasn't about beauty/fashion what would it be about?

I really like movies and television so maybe reviews on that.

12. Name something that you are obsessed with that other people would find nerdy.

I really like organizing things and I think other people may find that a bit nerdy. I like things to be in order and I order things alphabetically or by colour. I really like product but most people I know really dislike the subject, I love it and love rendering a picture and learning about why certain materials should be used. Yeh :)

13. Name 5 people, excluding friends and family that inspire you.

I really like certain designers and I remember learning about Donna Karan and Dolce & Gabbana in art. I really like them and thing that their fashion and some of there clothes are incredible. I also learned about how much work they had to do before they were famous. I think they are inspiring as it shows if you work hard enough and enjoy doing it then good things can happen. Sorry, I can only think of those 2.

14. Who is your intellectual soul mate?

Can I just say EZRA FITZ, please. I know he's a character in pretty little liars but I love him and he's an english teacher so he must be really smart. I don't know how many times I will mention him on this blog. Hmm...

15. Who will you tag?

I tag Louise, the other member of Louchelle. Other than that I tag EVERYONE READING THIS. Please if you do this post leave a link below and I'll comment. I would really appreciate it. 

Thank you for reading this. Hope you try it too.

Top Eight Nail Polishes For Summer

Hey Lovlies, As you may know I love nail polish. I pretty much change my nail colour everyday and I love doing different patterns on my nails. I think any season is a great time to wear nail polish and I love all the different colours you can wear. Here are my favourite of the summer months...

This is just a picture of all the nailpolishs, I really like all the colours but this season I have been loving blue's and corals especially. I also love to do an accent nail which is usually a glittery top coat. I really love bright colours in the summer as they are eye-catching and stand out.

Barry M Gelly- Greenberry: I have already reviewed this product on my NOTD post but I really love this nail polish and I think it is my most worn polish over the summer month. I really like the finish it gives and also love how it does not look streaky and it stands out. It's such a pretty colour and is perfect for summer.

Barry M- Pink Flamingo: This was my first shade of nail polish by Barry M and still love it. It's a lovely bright pink and its also a stand out colour. It's also a very girly colour and in my opinion looks lovely in the sun and with a tan. This is probably my favourite colour. 

Avon nail wear pro- (dont have the name, but it's a glittery lilac): I'm really annoyed that the name of this polish has faded but it's such a long lasting polish, I need to talk about it. It's such a pretty colour, i'm not the biggest fan of lilac but its a colour that's been coming into style this month and I actually really like it on my nails. There is also a hint of pink shimmer in the polish and it also looks nice over brighter coats. You have to apply about 2/3 coats to make it just like the colour in the bottle but it's a great nail polish and does not chip easily.

Essie- Ballet Slippers: This is a nail polish I bought because Miss Glamorazzi spoke about it in one of her favourite videos a few moths ago. I got this for Christmas but I really like light nail polishes in the spring and summer. This is such a pretty girly colour and I think it goes with every outfit. It's also long lasting but it takes about 3 coats to make it as opaque as what is in the bottle. Overall, I really love this nail polish.

O.P.I- Shorts Story: This nail polish was given to me from Hayley for my birthday and I have to say she can read me like a book. I love this colour so much, it's also the first O.P.I nail polish I had got and I think they are amazing. To get a brilliant colour you only need to apply one coat and it looks amazing. It's long lasting and gives such a nice finish once painted to. I really think the quality of these nail polishes are amazing and are worth every penny. It's a bright colour too which looks great in the sun. I also think the name of this nail polish is really cute.

O.P.I- Pink Yet Lavender: This was another nail polish given to me from Hayley. I love glitter and again this colour is amazing and so pretty. I love the sparkles and love putting it on as a top coat with other nail polish's it also last's long and it's not chunky like what some glittery nail polishes are like. It's smooth and long lasting and looks amazing in the sun. I especially love wearing this on top of the Barry M- Greenberry or the OPI Shorts Story.

Essie- Sunday Funday: When I went to Tenerife this year I bought an Essie Nail polish from one of thier summer collections. It's a coral shade with small silver sparkles in it but they are very small but look lovely in the light. Its a long lasting polish and applies easily, I also really like the essie brushes because they are a bit wider than others with means they are quicker to apply and I feel more paint actually goes on your nails and it's not as streaky. I think this is also a perfect colour for summer and will be using it again non-stop next summer. 

Mavala- Blue Mint: I got this colour from my auntie and uncle at Christmas time and love it. It's a very pretty colour and stands out, it's also long lasting and does not chip as much as other nail polishes I have. It's a colour that's very cute and stands out. It's easy to apply and so it's an all round perfect nail polish. I've never tried this brand before but I really like it and I think i'll be looking into buying other nail polishes by the same name. 

Thank You. I really like doing post and would love if you commented some feedback or improvements for future posts. Also, please leave a comment telling us-

Things That Make Me Happy #2

Hey Lovelies! Yay, this is the next Things That Make Me Happy and I really like doing these types of posts as it's quite fun. I also love reading these posts so please leave a comment below if you do them and i'd love to read them. Now moving on to the post...

I seen these shorts on Tumblr and thought that they were so pretty, I really like all the colours and the pattern in general. I swear if I had these shorts I would never take them off. They also look really flow'y' which makes me think that this is a skirt but the post said it was a pair of shorts. So i'm not going to question them, look gorgeous either way. 

Ok, now i'm going to let my inner geek out. This is so cool, if anyone watches star wars then you'll know what this is! I think this so cool and looks so tasty, I love cherries and fruit in general but more importantly I LOVE CHOCOLATE. 

After watching This Means War, I have fallen in love with Chris Pine all over again, he's so lovely.

Ahh, the royal baby! You can't put a things that make me happy post without including this, look at them together. Everyone was so happy about the birth especially my mum- she's obsessed with the Royal Family.

AHHH! LOOK AT THIS PUPPY. SIBERIAN HUSKIES ARE SO CUTE AND LOOK AT HIS LITTLE TOUNGE AWW.

I love this girls hair and dress, I would love to do my hair like this but it just falls out and also it takes quite a long time to do. It's also such a nice colour.

Ok, now lets just take a minute. The new one direction music video. It was so good and it made me laugh so much. Harry as Marcel = cute. The song is so catchy and it's great to dance to (even if you can't dance- like me)

Thanks for reading everyone, I really like doing these types of posts. Please comment below if you liked it and also what is something that has made you happy this week?

NOTD: Barry M Gelly- Greenberry

Louise and I love doing our nails and we thought that this post was a great idea. This is the first nail of the day post and expect a lot more in the future. 

Barry M Gellies is a very popular nail polish, the colour i'm wearing is called Greenberry. I love them. It's my go-to nail polish this summer and I think it will be a favourite of mine for a long time.

First of all, the colour is great for summer as its really bright and eye-catching (I think it goes nice with a tan). It's a lovely turquise colour but can look more blue or green in different lights. It's really easy to apply and it drys very quickly.The quality of the nail polish is also great because it lasts a long time before chipping and it gives a nice glossy finish. For the best  finish I think you should do two coats just to make it more opaque and stand out. As far as I know this colour does not stain your nails but I know that the normal Barry M red does so maybe I would have to buy a darker colour to try that out. I quite fancy trying the watermelon shade.

There is a wide variety of shades and I am definitely going to be buying more and for £3.99 it's an amazing price. Also there are also lots of Barry M deals on nail polishes during the year, mostly 3 for 2. Usually with the normal Barry M's to get a bright colour like this you need to apply quite a few coats in order for it to be bright and then I feel that it tends to come of more easily and takes longer to dry, so these nail polishes are great at solving that problem. 

Thank you for reading. Please let us know in the comments if you liked this post and any other Barry M Gelly recommendations?  What's your favourite summer nail polish? 

 

If I Could Only Have One Tag

I've been following new blogs and looking through some posts and I stumbled across this tag that was done by lipgloss lily and thought it looked really interesting. I also really love doing tags so this was perfect. 

If I could only have one...

Foundation 

It would have to be the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow. I don't wear foundations a lot because i have this weird fear that if I put loads on my skin could get really bad. Ever since I got this foundation I feel a bit more confident. It's light on the skin which is perfect for me and it blends really well and gives a nice finish. It also has no harsh chemicals and I've not broken out from it. I use the shade ivory.

Setting Powder

It would have to be Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. I was watching a video by Macbarbie07 and she said it was great at keeping foundation and concelear on for a long time, so I bought it. I'm still really happy with it. I've got naturally dry skin but this powder does not make my skin look bad at all. The colour that I use is 004 sandstorm. 

Blusher

This is a difficult one because I love blush, I think it can make your face look so much more healthy and awake. This is hard (AHH!) but if I had to pick one it would be Dandelion by Benefit, it's a great colour for any time of the year and I think it adds a nice highlight to your cheeks. It's also a lovely colour and looks great on every skin type. It also smells amazing- I know that sounds weird. I also really love Hervana by Benefit it's a little more pigmented and it's a lovely colour on the cheeks too.

Concealer

This is such a raved about product but I love the collection 2000 concealer  It's brilliant and covers dark circles and blemishes very well without looking too heavy on the skin. It's also only £4.19 which is a great price for an incredible concealer. The only problem is that the writing on the packaging tends to fade very quickly. Since I've been on holiday both these shades don't suit my skin but usually I tend to be Light 1 or Light 2.

Eyeliner

Would have to be Maybelline gel eyeliner. It comes with a brush and gel eyeliner and I love it. It's really easy to apply and it's very easy to work with, the eye liner lasts a long time and you can pretty much create any look with it. This is black but my Gran has the blue and that tends to look a bit more darker and just as nice.

Mascara

 Benefit they're real, another raved about product. I have really small eye lashes but when you put this mascara on it looks amazing, there are never any clumps and it makes eyelashes look longer instantly. I also love how they are long but create volume at the same time. They also reach the very small lashes too and makes your eyes look bigger.

Lips

This was also a hard one but I would have to pick my Dior lipgloss I bought this last month and I have no stopped wearing it. It's glossy which I love but it's not sticky and it makes lips look fuller. It's also a really nice colour and for me it goes with everything. This is in the shade 453 Dolly Pink.

Thanks for reading this post, it was really fun to do. If you have any tips to make our posts better please leave a comment below or tell us what your one thing is. I tag everyone to do this but especially Hayley and Alice. Thanks again for reading, 

OOTD- BBQ Party

It was Louise's mum's birthday on Saturday and to celebrate she had a Birthday BBQ. We wanted to do this post to show you the outfits we wore- along with our friend Rachel. 

Louise is wearing a lovely top from New look, which has an aztec print using blue,black,white and red. I really like the crochet flower detailing on the back. She is also wearing dark denim shorts from primark and black havaianas. Louise also dip dyed her hair blue recently (it is now PINK) so I thought that looked very nice, her hair was curly which looked very natural and pretty.

I wore a pink skirt that has a floral pattern on it from Forever 21, I really liked the light colour. I also wore a crop top from river island (which Louise picked) and my shoes are also from river island too. 

Our friend Rachel looked lovely, she wore a top from Primark with different coloured butterflies and it was bright and appropriate for summer. She then wore raspberry shorts from New Look and some sandals from Clarks.

I wore my favourite two rings, ones pandora and the other was one I bought in Tenerife but I cant remember the brand name (I'll search it up though) I then wore a bracelet from Primark and for a joke i wore my one direction wrist band :')

Rachel also wore some lovely jewelry, she wore some gorgeous anklets- one she bought on holiday and the other was a present from Louise. I also really loved the detail in the shoes - its really pretty. Her toenails also match her shorts which was really nice.

I've never done one of these posts before so if you have any feedback or help on what I should do better please leave a comment below, also what's everyones plans for the summer. Hope you enjoyed reading this, thanks bye. Rachel and Louise xxx
