Neon Petrol Legs

Fitting in with the neon theme from my last ootd, I thought I would share with you my recent sale purchase from Topshop. You will have seen this jumper on many different blogs and as it was reduced to £20 I snapped one up straight away. Personally I wouldn't have paid the full £40 pricetag as you can definately get better quality jumpers for less, however there was something about the colour which I am obsessed with. I think the jumper is now sold out online, however if your from the North East Metro Centre Topshop had quite a few in on Sunday.

I decided to pair these with my trusty wet look leggings yet again from Topshop- seriously Topshop leggings are the only leggings which are ever long enough for me. I'm starting to come around to wearing the whole wet look leggings during the day time (baby steps) however I still don't feel comfortable wearing my super shiny disco pants during the day just yet.

Converse were the only logical shoe choice to go with this outfit- ideally I would have prefered black trainers, however beggars can't be choosers and the navy had to do. However even though you wouldn't normally put coral/black/navy together I think it actually works.

One of these days I'll suprise you by posting a daytime ootd with my Disco Pants on.

Arm Candy

Bit of a different post for you today (even though I'm typing this yesterday to try and take my mind off a job interview) and I thought I would share with you all my current favourite bracelets. I don't wear these all at once, I normally swap and change between them- the beaded bracelets I very rarely wear for nights out as some of them are meaningful and I don't want to loose them.

Pink Love Bracelet- I've recently bought from Topshop for £6.50 (how expensive I know), yet its not avaliable online. The Purple/Pink bracelet is currently Topshop's Charity bracelets and came in a set of two- these are avaliable online and instore for £2. Next up are my Jamacian beads which I got off "Tinnie Tempah" in Tenerife with Kayleigh. Then there's my battered Purple/Pink bracelet which I got off my favourite Miget Dave (her actual name is Carole) when I was working in the Co-op about 6 years ago. Finally we have my Zante bracelet which I bought on my first ever girls holiday with Holly back when we were 21.

The studded bracelet* is from Oasap and is pratically the same as the Topshop version for a fraction of the price- this is my new favourite item of jewellery. A word of warning though- its very very sharp, could come in hand for nights out when you get unwanted attention from gentlemen. Next up is a bracelet you've seen a thousand and one times on the blog- my skull bracelet from Topshop. I would be heartbroken if this ever broke.

I should have also taken a picture of my oversized Asos gold watch (or as Ben calls it my lucky lucky man watch) which you also see on the blog all the time, that very rarely leaves my wrist.

What accessories can you not live without?

Floral Neon

I feel like I'm neglecting the blog as of late, but work is really starting to take over and this week seems to be manic, so ze blog is going to have to take a back seat for the next few days. Plus I have a MASSIVE sales haul to show you. Anyway here's an outfit I thought I'd already posted but I hadn't, I'm obsessed with the print on this. My lovely Jenna also has this dress (I think she is my long lost Topshop sister from another mister) but she looks WAY better in it than me. Oh a word of warning this dress is pratically backless- the Topshop site gives the impression its a slight opening, don't be fooled- its either a sticky on bra or chebs out I'm afraid.

Neon Floral Dress, Studded Belt, Cream Shoes- Topshop

Bag- Chanel

3.1 Phillip Lim

I'm quite simply obsessed with this Floral Print Silk Dress from 3.1 Phillip Lim. I've always been a fan of his work, however I think I need to save up the £535 to buy this dress...

Any donations are welcome..

Versace Crystal Noir

Its about bloody time this little gem has a post of its own. Hands down this is my all time favourite perfume and its one of those scents which not many people are aware of. To be honest Versace is a perfume brand I've always over looked (mainly in favour of Chanel) and brings back memories of their jeans scents- anyone remember Red Jeans?? If you want a scent which will get your noticed- Crystal Noir is the scent for you. I've lost count of the amount of times people have asked me what perfume I'm wearing and the compliments I've recieved.

To be honest on first impressions, the bottle isn't all that and lets not get started on that rock stuck on the top which looks more like a door stopper than a perfume lid. Casting views aside Crystal Noir is definately a girly night time fragrance which lasts. The perfume is made up of gardenia, amber, tuberose and floral notes, and when you wear it you will feel sexy.

I normally stock up on a 50ml bottle from duty free for about £35, however over here it normally retails between £41-45 for the 50ml bottle from Boots, Debenhams, House of Fraser and all Perfume Shops.

If you get the chance to smell this- do it, you'll love it. What perfumes make you feel confident??

Everyone Loves A Bit of Viv

You've already seen a sneaky peek of the box on here, and you'll have seen these pictures on my Instagram (@RayWhoisShe). Sometimes when shopping online you always need to look at the bigger picture- just because a site may predominately sell shoes, that doesn't mean it sells other accessories. While browsing for some new sandals I came accross a whole range of Vivienne Westwood leather goods at a really good price. Now you will all know what happened next I spotted a purse I liked- click, buy, jobs a good un. There's something about Vivienne Westwood fabrics/design which I am obsessed with- from her tartain to squiggle prints. Normally when I buy purses they're also in a block colour, however I just couldn't resist this to liven my handbag up during the day. There's plenty of space for notes, coins and cards, and it fits nicely in your hand, ideal for when your trying to juggle change, your purse and a drink at the bar. Personally I can't fault anything from Vivienne Westwood and if I win the lottery this weekend I'll be there like a shot.

However if someone wants to buy me a pair of pirate boots I'll love you for life.

Goldschalger

It feels like its been ages since I've posted any outfit posts on here. So this is what I wore the other Saturday night when I was out with Kayleigh, Anth and Damian, now all was good and sober until I got into Loveshack and after a few shots of Goldschlager lets put it this was I was mortal, fell over outside of a sports centre while waiting for my lift, and spewing all over my gym trainers and out the window of poor Charles. Shameful behaviour you have to agree. Moral of the story- PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY KIDS. However I got to wear my snazzy blue dress which I am OBSESSED with. I love blue dresses!!

Blame Kayleigh the photographer for the state of my eyes- I forgot my camera so you have to make do with an iPhone picture.

Pocket Shift Dress- Topshop £40 (link- pink is only avaliable online)

Leopard Print Shoes- Topshop (old faithfuls)

Cuff- Topshop (last year)

Studded suede.leather clutch- £38 Topshop (in stores now)

Spending Ban?? Pffftt

Yeah so my so called spending ban on beauty products has well and truely gone arse over tit. Seriously I need some more willpower as I need to desperately save up so this has to be my last spending for a while. Actually that last statement is a pile of bull as on Friday night I may have bought some nail polish and a mascara from Boots. However as of today I am back on the beauty spending diet.

So this is what I bought the other week while in Leeds for the Benefit event (post on that to come). I'm not going into much detail/swatching the make up items as I've got seperate reviews on these to come, as well as a post including my other bits and bobs.

Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation in NW25 £23, Mac Cremeblend Blush in Something Special £17.50 (I can't get enough of this), Look Beauty Lipsticks in Tangerine Dream and Rock Candy £4 each, Accessorize Blush in Sensation (no 5) £2.95.

Love Bracelet, £6 (not on website), Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Bracelets £2- both Topshop, Gold sideways cross necklace £10 Urban Outfitters.

DropGifts On the Go

In todays society Facebook plays a massive part of each one of our lives- we connect with long lost friends, connect with family members, use it when we can't be bothered to do any work and fancy a cheeky skive (even if you don't want to admit it), we relive drunken nights out, and you have to admit its a brilliant reminder for people's birthdays.

DropGifts is a brand new service which is launching today and by signing up via Facebook (or downloading the app) it gives you the opportunity to send online gift cards to your friends/family members for all major retailers. There is also free gift cards online too!! Want to know what the best thing about DropGifts is? You and your friends can also chip in together and each add value to a gift card, however what you contribute the recipicent can't see, they'll only see the overall amount. Personally I'm terrible to buy for- I'd rather have money or vouchers so I can buy what I want- if my friends used DropGifts they could put their money towards a voucher for Urabn Outfitters which they know will be more beneficial to me... after all its all about what the recipicant wants right?

All your upcoming Facebook friends birthdays will appear on the events page, so you can go through and choose who you want to send a gift too (obviously I have zero Facebook friends on my blog account, I'm not a billy no mates)

Its also worth noting that some of the vouchers can either be used online or in store or both, so its definately worth checking, however just think of the time saved- you don't have to go into town to buy a giftcard, you can quite happily do it online when you get a spare 5 minutes. Although it may be wise to keep that bit of information to yourself- you want to give the impression that you've gone to loads of effort.

Check out this promo video- gotta love a trier.

You will need a Facebook account to reigster through, however its a brilliant idea if your stuck for present ideas (or may have forgotton)- also there is no charges neither, all what you pay for is what gifts you send.

Groupon Giveaway Winner

Apologies for the pre-scheduled posts for the last week and a bit, I've started work on a massive project at work and its been long hours sat at a laptop day in day out, so when I get in from work the last thing I want to do is blog. However this afternoon I'm responding to all your comments, catching up with all your blogs and to be honest spamming the living day light out of them with comments (you have been warned).

Anyway onto the winner of the Groupon Giveaway-

Catherine

I'll email you shortly with your voucher lovely.

Have a fab weekend everyone

Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire

Aka the little black dress

If you know me, you know that I have a thing for perfumes which aren’t commonly known amongst my friends and family. I think this is also reflected in the blog, as perfume reviews are of those which not many of your will be aware of and I hope that after reading such reviews you get sniffing next time you’re out shopping (just make sure you don’t do it next to strangers). Currently exclusively to Selfridges is Guerlain’s new fragrance La Petit Robe Noire* and this is a fragrance which you will love.

It’s a given fact that every woman needs a LBD in their wardrobe and Guerlain have captured this essence and bottled it up into a fragrance with Tonka bean, vanilla, iris and patchouli, this perfume is sweet, yet not over powering but still knows how to make an impact. Personally I love “strong” lasting scents for nights out, and this scent lasted a good 3 hours before I felt the need to reapply, which I think for a more lighter fragrance is very good going. I also tested this out at work and only reapplied at lunchtime on 1 of the 4 days purely as I was going to a meeting. From applying this at 7am you could still smell it on my skin at 3pm which is very long lasting for a perfume. This received quite a few compliments from the women in my office as they described the scent as nothing which they had smelt before- which for a perfume is definitely a compliment.

As you can see the bottle I received is your standard perfume sample, however do not be fooled by the size of the bottle- I’ve had this for 2 weeks now, worn it 4 days for work (including a lunch time refresh) and for a night out and I’ve still got a third of the bottle yet. It’s also worth noting that the shape of the sample bottle is a smaller version of the full sized bottle- how chic would this look sat on your dressing room table?

La Petit Robe Noire costs from £42 for 30ml and is currently exclusive to Selfridges both instore  and online

Essie Sand Tropez

Essie Sand Tropez £7.99 Boots

Sometimes after a hell of a lot of resistance I give into "blogging hype" normally I try and resist and thoroughly research new products/swatch them to see if I like them etc before buying. Well cue a Sunday morning trip to the Metro Centre and lo and behold I find myself in Boots standing in front of the Essie stand with the good intentions to see what polishes I like the look of in the bottle and then make a mental note of the shades and go back and buy what I liked. Pah did that happen, balls did it. After a lot of deliberation between Sand Tropez and the nude on the shelf to the right of it (really can't remember the name) I went with Sand Tropez.

Do I really need yet another nude in my nail polish collection? Well I suppose if you're going for wearability the answer is yes. However if all Essie polishes are exactly like this I'm not going to lie I'm bloody converted. This polish is fab- first up the colour, I would describe this as a slightly more nude version of Models Own Utopia- actually if you mixed Utopia and Nude Beige together this is the shade you would get. Its the most perfect work/play nail polish and the consistency is not too thick, but thick enough to dry quickly. The pictures above are two coats with a coat of Seche Vite on top and this lasted me 4 days without any chipping which I think is good going. Also its worth nothing the brush- apparently its different from the original Essie brushes (I can't comment) and its wide and flatter which is brilliant for those like me who have wide finger beds.

Now I just need to decide what colour I want next. Oh and if your from the Durham area you can find Essie polishes in Boots in Middlesbrough (town centre), Metro Centre, Newcastle (Eldon Square) and Team Valley and they appear to be mixed in with the normal make up brands so keep your eyes peeled.

Win Tickets to the Gun Show

Sometimes have you noticed while reading blogs you wonder if people actually look like that all the time, well as you can see from the above photos I am in desperate need of my hair colouring and I look like a sweaty clip when I come from the gym. Here is me how you normally will find me after a long day at work followed by a gym session- au naturel. Last week was the first week this year I didn't go to the gym and it officially marks me breaking my "going to the gym at least once a week" NY resolution. So this is my typical gym apparel while I attempt to flex my guns- there's no point in me posting a half decent picture of me cause to be honest I look a clip so have one of me taking the mick.

Normally my gym attire consists of pairs of these extra long high waisted leggings from Topshop, paired with somesort of long vest with an old Topshop vest underneath. The top in this picture is from Lauren Moshi which I bought from Spoiled Brat years ago- you may be familiar with Lauren Moshi as those are the printed vest which Lauren Conrad used to sport in her "Hills" days. Obviously gym appropriate shoes are vital when your at the gym, and I have recently gotten these Nike running shoes. As you can see there is no missing me in the dark in those bad boys, and since wearing them, I can totally see why you should always wear proper trainers in the gym. These trainers always come in handy post night out if I'm being picked up as I always change into these in the car to run into the garage for post night out munchies.

I've also shown you my must have gym items to keep me amused while I'm on the cross trainer/bikes/steppers- my Kindle (currently reading Catching Fire), my iPod, water and then some sort of fashion magazine to read while I'm on the sitting down bikes (as I call them), oh and not forgetting my weekly catch up with Laura (go check out her blog).

Victory Tea- the Primarni of the Tea World

If you are from the North East and I said to you “what’s your favourite type of tea”, I can guarantee that the majority of you will answer with “Ringtons”. I know this post is a bit different to what you normally see on here, however I can always make an exception to when it comes to Ringtons. Seriously Ringtons cures everything- from a bad day at work, a broken heart and also the mother of all hangovers, and which makes Ringtons even better is the fact that you can get it delivered direct to your front door.

Fitting in very nicely with all things British aka the Jubilee celebrations and the Olympics- Ringtons have recently released a new type of tea called “Victory Tea”*. However they've put a fashion spin on it and quite frankly you have the best kind of tea ever, or as Sarah (creator extrodinare) calls it the “Primarni of the tea world”- it’s a designer tea bag without the designer cost. Victory Tea is known as Blend no 1, meaning that its the best (aka number 1) black tea which you can drink either black or with milk.

Seriously how uber-cool is the packaging

I received a trial pack of these and I thought the best way for me to try this out would be with my fellow work colleagues in my office on the sly and see if they noticed the difference in what they were drinking. It’s worth nothing that in our office a large 480 bag of tea lasts us about a month, that’s how bad our tea habit is. After making the brew I sat down and noted how three out of the four clicked on straight away that they were drinking Ringtons tea. It’s hard to explain but if you are familiar with Ringtons you can instantly tell that you’re drinking it.

The three degrees of Victory Tea- its a bit like a paint chart getting the right shade of tea..

Now I know that sometimes the price of Ringtons does put people off, however Victory Tea has noted this and to keep costs down and to get better value for money Victory Tea is available in larger quantities which you can order direct from their rather patriotic website. I know some people may say that tea is tea and it all tastes the same, but seriously once you’ve tried any tea from the Ringtons brand you will become as the guys at work call it “a tea snob”.

Victory Tea retails for £5 for a box of 80 and £16 for an 640 box direct from their website. Also you need to check out their cuppa calculator on their site too. Ringtons tea is avaliable from most major supermarkets and if your from the North East you can buy direct from Fenwicks Food Hall in Newcastle as well as from their door to door service.

Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss- Artiface

Illamasqua Intense Lip Glosee- Artiface*

I am definitely one of those people who are set in their ways- on nights out you will only ever see me with a smoky eye with a nude/pinky nude lipstick/gloss on. During the day you’ll probably only see me wearing mascara if that, maybe a bit of blusher if I can be bothered. However as its officially summer (I use that term loosely) lately I’ve been wearing more bolder colours on my lips, and this is the shade I’ve been reaching for.

I’ve had this since the Illamasqua Leeds store opening back in December (feels like it was only yesterday) and I’ve never really had a chance to wear it properly. Now in the tube this colour looks scary (well to me it does)- super bright bubble gum pink. However I’ve realised if I use very little of the product, instead of slicking it on like there’s no tomorrow, the colour is very wearable. Personally Illamasqua lip glosses are slightly sticky and like all lip glosses my hair is attracted to it like there’s no tomorrow, however it does last a good 2-3 hours before I need to reapply this. My own gripe with this is the fact that you have to squeeze the tube to get the product out, I prefer a screw top with an applicator. Apart from that I would definitely recommend trying their lip glosses if you get the chance.

Illamasqua lip glosses are available direct from their website/stores and online from Selfridges, Debenhams and Asos.

New Benefit Lip Glosses- Coralista

So today we have a bit of a world exclusive on "Who is She" (or is that going a bit far?? Meh I'm sticking with it), yesterday I attended a Benefit event in Leeds and we were given a sneak preview of Benefit's new range of lip glosses which match their cheek products. I'm going to do a separate post on the event and their Mascarathon campaign however as the good blogger which I am, I'm taking it upon myself to be the enabler and to let you know all about these new fabulous lip glosses

Personally I'm a massive fan of their Coralista blush and have used their Dandelion blush before so these were the products I initially went for to swatch and I was shocked as to how similar the colours are to their blush counterpart. Obviously as you can see each lip gloss packaging is identical to the blush which I think easily identifies the product without having to see the name. 

As each of the bloggers received were lucky to recieve one of these glosses I was so happy to see that I had recieved Coralista*- the one I was most interested to colour compare. If you compare the tube to the powder the lipgloss looks slightly darker. But side by side they look very similar. 

The Coralista lip gloss is one of those your lips but better shades and will work well whatever your colouring. If you are already familiar with Benefit lipglosses (I love life on the A list) this new range has the same scent, but what sets these apart is that they arent sticky. My hair is attracted to lip glosses and this didn't get masses of red hair stuck in it. The product glides onto your lips and feels smooth, almost like a balm on the lips which is a major thumbs up for me and for those who hate sticky lip glosses. 

You have to admit its a brilliant match!!

I think it was mentioned that these lip glosses will be retailing for about £13 each for 15ml of product and considering you only need a tiny amount this is brilliant value for money. I'm 99.9% sure its all their boxed powders which are going to be glosses- I saw Dallas, Sugarbomb, Bella Bamba and Hoola (I think). Trust me you need these in your life.

Running on Empties #4

So the challenge is really starting to get worse now as it seems however hard I try I can’t get rid of any make up products. The pictures below I took about a month ago and since then I’ve got another one of these posts lined up ready- it seems that bath/skin products are so much easier to use up than make up products (and yes the Max Factor mascara is continuing to give and give and give).

Anyway onto this batch of empties..

Trevor Sorbe Heat Defence Spray- I’ve had this bottle for 18 months and finally used it up. Normally this is the heat protector of choice all the time (bar nights out) even when my hair dries naturally. Personally I don’t think I would buy it again, however as I initially bought this on a 2 for £7 offer in Boots, I still have another bottle to use.

Soft and Gentle Deodrant- horrible. Would it repurchase? The thought of stinking of sweat instead of this scent is more appealing.

Woman’s Shave Gel (Home Bargains)- it does the job, however the pump is very temperamental. Steph one used this, pressed the pump and it shot all over her bathroom. Would I repurchase? I don’t see why not.

John Frieda Full Repair Deep Conditioner*- Review can be found here. Would I repurchase? I’ve already gone through another tub of this since, however once I’ve used my other deep conditioner I have on the go, I will be repurchasing.

Nivea Deodrant- for some reason I have a bit of a collection of these in my gym bag- no idea where I’ve gotten them from yet they do the trick while I’m at the gym. Would I repurchase? I would the sample sizes but not this scent.

Lush Candy Mountain (x2)- I’ve used two of these up in the last month- I like to ration them throughout the year as this is my favourite Lush product ever. I’m fancying a lush spending spree soon, however I’m going to keep putting it off until the next time I go shopping with Holly as she loves a good Lush haul.

Botanics Organic Eye Cream- Really good cheap eye cream, after the picture was taken I managed to get another 3 applications from the tube. I would repurchase this however as my Boots was sold out the other week of it, I bought their Vitamin E eye cream to try instead.

Accessorize Scandal Blush- I reviewed this here. I do love this shade and I think once I use my Vivo Peaches and Cream blush up I’m going to repurchase this. The Vivo blush just doesn’t last as long as the Accessorize blush.

Barry M Turquoise

As the weather last week was tropical in the UK (shame its gone back to freezing cold and rain this week), I thought that this is the cue to start getting digging my more summer appropriate shades out. Now I am a fan of a bold nail against a plain dark dress on nights out, however for some reason I very rarely wear bright shades as I don’t deem them work appropriate, and I’m too lazy to change nail polish colour after a night out.

However over the last week I’ve been hiding in my office, I thought in an attempt to brighten my mood up I would dig out an old favourite-

Barry M Turquoise

This was one of the first Barry M colours I picked up and I normally pick Models Own Top Turquoise out over this, however if you have to compare the two- Barry M is more blue based, while Models Own is more green based. I would say that out of all the Barry M shades I own the consistency of this polish is more thicker and you can get away with the one coat. I’ve got two coats on in the pictures below (no base or top coat) as you can see its completely opaque.

Normally Barry M polishes last me a good 4 days without any chipping, however these lasted 3 days before I removed them- purely due to the fact that I’d been busy filing and my nails were chipped to death. So I haven’t taken any after pictures like normal.

Has anyone tried the new Barry M shades yet??

One

So Saturday was a rather important day for not so little-BabyJEM, she turned the grand old age of one. I'm sure JEM had gotten her drunk before I arrived as for some bizarre reason she was wanting to be picked up by me and was laughing and smiling at me, instead of the normal screaming her head off. She was also trying to feed me crisps.. definately drunk I say.

As you haven't seen any pictures of her in a while, me and JEM thought we would share a couple of her.

My gift, well the greatest first birthday present ever was the ball pit and balls, and as you can see they've gone down very well.

Best Auntie brownie points scored there.

May Favourites

It’s starting to scare me how fast time is whizzing over and we’re now officially in June. I’m still trying to use as many beauty products up as I possibly can and May was a month I didn’t buy any beauty products (bar one), however over the last few days I have had a slight slip up and spent about £12ish on essentials, which realistically isn’t bad going. However I have rediscovered some old favourites-

ELF Studio Powder Brush- I reviewed this earlier on in the month (here) and due to the lush weather we’ve been having I’ve only been wearing my Mac MSFN as a foundation and this is the perfect brush to use to apply it.

17 Falsifeye Mascara- I’ve nearly used all this up, and it’s a fab little mascara to wear on a daily basis for work. Mine has started to dry out a bit now and to be honest this mascara works way better dry. This lengthens and separates my lashes and makes me look (half) awake on a morning. I normally also take this out with me on nights out as if I loose it, it’s not breaking the bank to replace.

Lee Stafford Hair Treatment- this is the only beauty purchase I’ve made this last month due to the hairdressing incident which has left my hair with bloody short layers in and missing about 5 inches of hair in places. So I’ve been whacking this on, laying off the heat and hoping that my hair will grow. In the last 4 weeks judging by my roots I think my hair has grown about a cm. Although my hair does grow fast I think I will give the credit to this product. Oh and it also smells of Angel perfume too. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Mac Copperplate Eye Shadow- try this with the following colours- Satin Taupe and Typographic/Print and you will be amazed. Really versatile eye shadow, a good slate grey shadow.

Opi Glitter Mini- I posted a picture of this on my nails on Instagram the other week and its just a fab colour for a bit of bling on your nails at work. I got this free in an old Joile Box (Boudior Prive) and it doesn’t have a name, but its a smooth glitter polish- no grit in site and it lasts ages on your nails.

Random Eyelash Conditioner- Again I got this in a old Joile Box and I use this a couple of times a week before going to bed. I don’t know if it actually works wonders on your eye lashes however a bit of tlc doesn’t go a miss.

Benefit Brow-zings Kit (Medium)*- I did an in depth review on this here. Totally obsessed with it. On a random note did you see the picture which Tor posted on Instagram (@thatspeachy) of me getting my eyebrows tinted on Saturday? Its worth a look.

Hope your all enjoying your Monday- I’m on a massive eBay mission.

Fake Tan Mishap...

You may have noticed an absence of fake tan mishaps on the blog, as up until last night I had finally managed to perfect my application skills. However I thought as I'm off work until Wednesday and I'm not seeing anyone over the next few days I thought it would be the ideal time to try my new St Tropez Dark Mousse Fake Tan out. I'll be doing a seperate review on that, however I woke up this morning and spotted this...

Yeah so I may have been drooling on my arm during the night...

Sexy as

Payday Wants

Sorry for the absence over the last few days, but work has well and truely wiped me out however as I've been busy and the days have flown over I'm not complaining. Anyway I managed to just about stick to my post every day in May challenge, to fail on the last day haha. I'd done my wishlist last Saturday ready to be wrote up, however there has been a slight amendment after seeing one of the items at the Metro Centre on Sunday.

This what I want-

Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation (NW25), RayBan Jeffrey Shades, Flower Print Shorts £22.99 Zara (link), Galaxy Print Dip Hem Vest £6 Primark, Printed Top £29.99 Zara (link).

I'm in love with the sample of Studio Sculpt which I have just about used up and I'm going to do a review on it for you, as its lasted a good 4 full face applications. I'm in Leeds next Thursday (anyone going to the Benefit event) and I may pick it up from Harvey Nics. I will be doing a review on this soon, so keep your eyes peeled for it.

Last Friday marked a very sad day if you follow me on Instagram (@RayWhoisShe), as I'd discovered my RayBan Wayfarers have broke- my finger is pointed at my brother as they were hidden at the back of my cupboard (out of the road so they wouldn't get broken) and I know he has had his eyes on them for a while. However every cloud and all that jazz, I initally wanted the Jeffrey shades, however I've now want the RB4147 model instead which are huge. I'm hoping Harvey Nics have them in so I can try them on for sizing. Buying some new shades is my priority this month.

Floral shorts and printed top (both Zara), I am in love with the floral shorts and think they'll be a fab addition to my summer wardrobe, however I saw the printed top on Sunday and I have never seen a more hideous top in all my life- so that has been disowned off my list. The Primark galaxy print tee was spotted on Pr Shots and for £6 you can't be robbed.

However the ammendment to my wishlist is this BEAUTIFUL tee dress from Primark- we'll just gloss over the price and pretend it doesn't exist, but I will be purchasing it. IT WILL BE MINE.

Right I've got (not so) BabyJEMs FIRST birthday party (where has the time gone) this afternoon after a cheeky Nandos and shopping trip with Tor.

Enjoy the long weekend lovelies
