What's in my Gucci Soho Disco Bag!

Hello My Lovelies 

Recently I added to my bag collection with one that I've been lusting over for months- I couldn't stop myself checking it out on Instagram and all of the lucky ladies that had already purchased it. The bag I kept swooning over is the Gucci Soho Disco and it recently became mine a couple of months ago.

I decided to buy the bag in the colour black as I knew it would be perfect for both the Summer and Winter months and one I knew I would get lots of use out of- though I was super tempted by the rose colour. The leather is super soft and buttery and I think will wear well over time. The hard wear is gold which is my favourite, it's not a brash gold colour and in some lights looks almost silver.

So what's in it you ask? Well I try not to over stuff my bags as I don't want them to bulge or become to heavy- so what I do have in it is quite minimal, however this bag can take a lot more.

Firstly I have my Cath Kidston pouch that I put any make-up I might be carrying and also tablets etc to keep it looking really neat in one place inside the bag. I also have a hair tie and some mints and my Ray Ban sunglasses.

I then throw in a book (I'm currently reading Roald Dahl's BFG- I'm re-reading all of these amazing books!) and a small shopping bag that looks like a pineapple and that can be rolled up when not in use.

Finally I have my small Mulberry purse which is actually pretty big and I can fit three cards in the back pocket, a few inside and cash!

I would love to know what you have in your bag, have you got your eye on a new bag? Let me know in the comments!

Till next time,

New In: Seventeen Mega Matte Lipsticks!

Hello My Lovelies

Seventeen is my favourite drugstore brand so when amazing new launches from them arrive on my doorstep I always get a bit excited and want to try them all out immediately. This time it's their mega matte lipsticks in twelve shades which means there's one to suit everybody!

Matte lipsticks are the 'in' thing in the beauty world at the moment and these ones from Seventeen are a great affordable range. Easy to apply once you've exfoliated your lips so that the colour doesn't stick to dry patches. I love using the ones from Lush as they create an amazing smooth lip.

Once on the lips they are super hydrating and not at all drying like I have found with some other brands. The shades I have are 'Pinking Out Loud' a bubble gum pink which is perfect for those with darker skin tones, for me it's a little too pale. The next is my favourite and is called 'Rioja Your World' a deep red almost brown which I'm going to wear daily and finally one I know I'm going to wear on nights out is 'Back To The Fuchsia' a hot pink. I love the names of all of these lipsticks, its great when brands have an imagination and don't just give them a number! 

The packaging is great, a non fussy black bullet with a cool chevron design and they are all really pigmented. Seventeen promises thirteen hours of wear- whilst it didn't last that long for me I did think the staying power was pretty darn good even with drinking and eating! Priced at £4.49 its a great way to trial the matte lip before splurging on a high brand version.

I think this trend is one that will be around for a while, have you tried these lipsticks from Seventeen? Let me know in the comments.


Till next time,

Product of the Mid-Month (September): Soap & Glory Shower Jelly!

Hello My Lovelies

The past few weeks I haven't been able to get enough of the Soap & Glory Shower Jelly. When I heard about these products I was super intrigued and they come in my favourite scents I couldn't wait to hit up Boots and pick up a couple.

Firstly they come in the Clean on Me and Sugar Crush scents both divine in their own right secondly they really do feel like jelly- They wibble and wobble around on the hand but once applied to the skin they soon melt and then turn into a gorgeous frothy lather. They make the skin smell great and leave you feeling refreshed and moisturised and with the most lovely soft skin (perfect for those with dry skin.)

I've also been using this bad boy for shaving my legs, who needs shaving foam when you have this to use instead?
At £5.50 it's not going to break the bank and with all Soap & Glory products you know that you are getting a great quality product that will last and last.

Have you tried these from Soap & Glory? What are your favourite scents from them? Let me know in the comments!

Till next time,
