FAME by Lady gaga


Yesterday I purchased FAME by Lady Gaga. Now I am a HUGE fan of Gaga so I was incredibly eager to buy it. I got the 50ml bottle; it was £30 in The Perfume Shop (it was 10% off)

The Packaging (sorry about the bad quality photo): I LOVE the packaging. The box is shiny black, which unfortunately is prone too fingerprints. It has a gold rim going around the edges on the box which I love. It make it looks so professional and high end. The bottle shape is an oval which makes it incredibly easy to handle and makes it a lot smoother. The lid is totally unique, I absolutely ADORE it. When you flip it upside down it creates a holder for the perfume. Completely unique! How many perfumes this? Amazing.





The Scent: I really like the smell of this perfume, its has honey and apricots so it smells really fruity and feminine but, with this it also has that classic perfume scent which mixes really well. 
Its not too overpowering and is perfect to wear to any occasions. I know I'm seriously bigging this product but I am honestly expressing my own opinion, I generally adore this product.

I think this is a great perfume for a great price. Well done mother monster!

August Wishlist


1) Light blue sleeveless tie up shirt, £25 Topshop (Buy here) Even though we are moving out of summer I'm still wearing tank tops and tie ups. I love this because the colour is so refreshing and not too loud. I Think £25 is a bit expensive for this top, I can easily make one for much less.
2) Indigo High Waisted Skinny Jeans, £25 New Look (Buy here) I love high waisted jeans/shorts and the deep indigo really give these jeans the final touch. I'm officially in love with these but unfortunately I won't be purchasing them any time soon.
3) Topshop lipstick in Hazard (Buy here) Omg I am in LOVE this is exactly the shade I've been looking for and I've finally found it. Its only £8 so I will defiantly be purchasing this in the next few days.
4) Ram Ring £12.50 Topshop (Buy here) When I first saw this ring I thought it was a goat and because I'm a Capricorn I instantly wanted it, I then found out it was a ram, but I can always say its a goat! Its way over what I usually spend on rings, so it won't be hitting my jewellery box any time soon.

The New Rucksack


null (Multi Col) Floral Backpack | 258188799 | New Look

I'm not a fan of the rucksack. I think they are too chunky and don't look very flattering. I don't think their very stylish. But now a new, more modern style of rucksack has come about. I purchased this one for £20 in new look.
It doesn't have that chunky unfeminine look and the straps are incredibly sturdy and strong. It has a lot of storage space and the straps don't dig into your shoulders.
If you're not a fan of this floral pattern, you have a wide range of designs to choose from. Acid Wash Backpack With TrimMilitary Floral BackpackStudded Denim Backpack  
All of these are from Topshop and they are all £34 apart from the studded one which is £35. I love this style of backpack. Great for school and everyday  casual wear. Plus I think they are just incredibly stylish, and different!

Galaxy Print

At the moment I'm really into Galaxy print clothing.
I love the way the print is so mysterious and fantasy-like. 
I like this top especially because its baggy and i think if a galaxy print top was fitted it would loose some of its atmosphere.
This is from Zara, £25.
The best thing about this style of top is that you can so easily make your own with a bleach and some acrylic paint. Their are lots of tutorials on You Tube. There's a very easy to follow one by probably my favorite You Tuber http://www.youtube.com/FashionRocksMySocks . Have a scroll around youtube, there are lots of different tutorials. Plus ,why stop at t-shirts.
You can get Galaxy Litas, Leggings and even nails.
 



Its such a cool, cute pattern that's easy to achieve at home.

I love this print so much.
I think we all know what we are going to do next rainy boring day...

Make my hair BIGGER

I naturally had quite thick hair, but when I was 13/14 I thinned it out within and inch of its life. I still to this day have thin, limp, lifeless hair and it drives me CRAZY.
So today I took justice and bought a range of hair products that I hoped will give my hair a BOOST. The first Product I purchased was Herbal Essences: Curl Friends Conditioner.

Not going to lie, I got this in the 99p shop. Well why would I pay £2 when I can get it for 99p? Its a great deal. I then moved onto Boots and purchased Naked's Body Building Volume shampoo and Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Shampoo.

Now the Naked shampoo says " for fine, limp hair" so I immediately grabbed it and read the description. It said it could make my limp, lifeless hair bigger. It was £4.75 but it was so worth it. Not only does it smell AMAZING but it takes my dull flat hair and makes it THICK and bouncy. I will definitely buy this again because the results were amazing. It gave my hair a instant lift. I love it.
The reason I brought Tousle Me Softly and Its a Curl Thing is because not only did I want more volume in my hair but I also wanted some more texture. Again I was not let down. Because my hair was thick and voluminous from the Naked shampoo the Tousle Me Softly and Its a Curl Thing, gave my hair beautiful thick waves.
I could not be happier. My limp, dull, lifeless hair is now thick,wavy and full of volume.
I am so happy with my purchases! I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting bigger more textured hair that they apply the naked shampoo first then the Herbal essences Tousle Me Softly shampoo then the Its a Curl Thing conditioner because the results are phenomenal!

London haul!

I went to London yesterday and brought some really cool cute stuff so I thought I would do my first haul.
The first thing I brought was this domo kun wallet.
 Now I have to admit I don't need a new purse but I saw this being displayed and I just had to buy it, I thought it was so cute. It was £5 in Camden lock and its really well made and Its such a reasonable deal.
It holds around 17 cards and has room for two photos. It has lots of different flaps and compartments which I found quite cool.

I much preferred camden lock to camden highstreet. In one of the high street shops (that I can't remember the name of, sorry!) I asked how much a watch was. When the man said £15 I politely said "oh ok, thank you" and walked away. He then called after me and offered me it for £10. I again said no thank you. Then he went down to eight and I accepted. Its such a cute colour But it was HUGE on my wrist. If I knew how big it would be on my wrist I wouldn't of brought it but luckily my Dad knew how to alter it. 




After we visited Camden we went to the paper chase in Covent garden where I got a black scrap book to present my photography in. 
I really liked it as soon as I saw it because it look so sleek an professional.
 

It has ribbons to tie it together which made me want it even more. It was only £8.50 and I got a white gel pen to show up on the black card. The all black makes it very good for presentation because its not all cluttered with patterns and things. It just a simple scrap book. 

As for cosmetics I did have a look around super drug. I picked up the Barry M nail paint in mint green (£2.99).
The lighting makes it look bluer but it really is a very definite mint green and only takes two coats to get a really good solid colour. 
I chose this shade because I would thought it would really go with my watch and it really did!

I love the two colours together I think it looks seriously cute. 

The last Thing I brought as just the multiplier mascara from collection 2000 (£2.99), its nothing special just any other mascara. 

Well that's all I got in London! Not a lot but I'm content with my purchases. Thanks for reading!
