Favourite Perfume of the Week #1 - Anna Sui, Sui Dreams ❤

Hey everyone, 

So I thought that i'd start a new thing where I tell you every week what perfume I have been loving and wearing the most. So my favourite perfume this week is actually quite an old perfume launched back in 2000. I didn't have it then because I would've been about 2 haha but my mum was there to get it when it was released and wore it for a long time. About a year or two ago, my mum introduced me to her one and I was wearing that for a long time but then for my birthday... I was brought a brand new bottle for myself and I am so glad that I have found it because it has become one of my most used perfumes. 

I love to wear a lot of sweet, fruity and slightly floral perfumes because they tend to be not as heavy as other types of perfume like woody perfumes. However, I do tend to sometimes wear heavier fragrances when I feel in the mood for them. 

This Anna Sui perfume smells very fruity, slightly floral and slightly oriental. I looked up the notes online and some were floral and some were fruity and then there were also the base notes...so let me tell you what they were:

Floral:

• Freesia
• Chinese peony
• Rose
• Bergamot

Fruity:

• Nectarine
• Mandarin
• Bitter Orange

Base Notes:

• Nutmeg
• Sandalwood
• Musk
• Tahitian Vanilla
• Cedar
• Anise

When I spray this perfume. it smells very fruity on my skin and slightly spicy. I love to wear this because I feel it is very feminine and not too heavy.

On top of it smelling lovely, the packaging is also very appealing... the liquid is dyed a bright light blue colour which stands out and the metal details also have pretty floral designs embossed onto it as you can see in the pictures above.

I would definitely recommend this perfume if you love floral and oriental perfumes.  

I hope that you enjoyed this post and would like to see more... check out my links below.

I ♥ Drugstore Makeup Tag

Hey everyone,

So I saw Gabriella (velvetgh0st on youtube) do this tag recently :

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By7zne-U_k0

So I thought that I'd have a go at answering the questions. I'm not sure if there are any other versions of this tag or if there are different questions but these are the ones which she had answered in her video.
So lets get into it.....

Question 1.

What is your favourite drugstore make-up brand overall?

There are a few drugstore make-up brands that I like to buy from and I used to get a lot from Revlon especially there Lip butters but lately,  I tend to buy from Rimmel and Maybelline. So I'd have to say that overall, my favourite drugstore make-up brand is Maybelline. Their colour tattoos are beautiful and I love the baby lips.

Question 2.

What are your favourite face/cheek/ lip products?

I have to say that one of my favourite face products has to be the Maybelline Anti-Age The Eraser Eye concealer, which I mentioned in my August Favourites a few months ago. Read here. I use this product everyday and it gives such good coverage to my under eye circles and any little blemishes that you'd like to cover up.

To go with this concealer, I have another drugstore favourite and it is the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. I use this everyday on top of my concealer to prevent it from creasing and it also helps to make my make-up stay on for longer and doesn't feel heavy or caked at all and is such a bargain.

My favourite drugstore cheek product has to be the Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush in Santa Rose. This blush is so pretty and natural on my skin and gives my skin a slight rose tint. 


I have many, many favourite lip products from drugstores because I tend to buy drugstore lip products rather than high end because they are still of such good quality from drugstore brands. However, some of my favourite lip products are lipsticks, like the Revlon Lip Butters.

 But recently, in the fall I like to wear darker colours and in my recent blog post about Autumn/fall lipsticks, read here, I showed the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Matte Lipsticks. These have to be some of my favourite lipsticks that I've owned and last for a long time on my lips as said in the name and they are also very matte which I tend to opt for in a lipstick rather than it having a sheen. 

My final favourite lip products have to be the Maybelline Baby Lips. I know many people have mentioned these multiple times before but they really are such a good, affordable product.

Question no.3

What is your least favourite drugstore makeup product?

There really aren't many products that I don't like but if I had to name one it would have to be the Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara. I brought this mascara at the time when it was very popular but after a short time, it dried up and would work as well and I felt that it didn't coat my eyelashes very well.

Question no.4

What is your biggest makeup bargain?

I have to say that my biggest makeup bargain was the MUA Undress Me Highlighter which I brought for only £3 from superdrugs. This highlighter is so pigmented for such a cheap price and is such a pretty colour. I'd have to say overall, all of the MUA makeup is such a great bargain at such a low price but the quality of the makeup is very good and highly pigmented.

Question no.5

What is your favourite underdog product (something that gets overlooked)?

I'm not totally sure what this means but I love the sleek eye shadow palettes! They are so pigmented and very affordable.

Question no.6

A drugstore product that is overpriced?

I can't think of an individual product that is overpriced but I think that some types of drugstore products are overpriced like some facial moisturisers and some cleansers.


Question no.7

Show your best drugstore dupes...

Well, I only found one close dupe in my makeup collection and this drugstore lipstick is very similar but isn't as matte. The high end lipstick is the Mac Riri Woo lipstick which I featured in my Autumn/Fall Lipsticks post and the drugstore dupe if the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in 111 Kiss of Life.

These two lipsticks are very similar but I think the Rimmel lipstick is slightly more orange.

Question no.8

A drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

I think that the Maybelline mascaras weren't worth the hype, I brought the Colossal Cat Eyes mascara by Maybelline at the time because they were very hyped about but when I was using it, it dried up very quickly and wasn't very useful anymore. However, the packaging was cute though haha :)

Fall/Autumn Lipsticks

Hey everyone, 

So we are in fall/autumn right now (whatever you would like to call it ) and I just love wearing darker/more statement lip colours. I thought that I'd share with you the ones that I have been loving and what I would recommend to you.   

If you love wearing darker/more statement makeup in fall/autumn as well... leave me a comment telling me your favourite lipsticks and other beauty products. I would love to know :) 


So the first one that I have been using most frequently is one that I got for my birthday around about last week. It is the Riri Mac Lipstick in 'Riri Woo':

I love this lipstick so much! I know it's quite bright... but it is a gorgeous red and I absolutely love the packaging! I love the fact that it is matte... I tend to wear matte lipsticks rather than shiny. It came off very easily from my hand and lips leaving a barely even noticeable stain.

❤ ❤ ❤

The next lipstick is dark pink which I have been loving.... I've had it for a while now so I'm not sure if you can still get it or not... It is Urban Decay Lipstick in 'Jilted'.

I love the packaging, It has a little sword in the top which you open it by which is very sturdy and has never come out.

The pattern on the packaging is also very appealing, it had swirls, butterflies and even some skulls all in different shade of purple which look very pretty.

Altogether, Urban Decay did a really good job on designing this lipstick which is one of the reasons why I wear it so often, I wouldn't say it is very pigmented because it is a little sheer, it also has a bit of a sheen and has a good scent to it....

❤ ❤ ❤

This next lipstick is also another red.... but this one is the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick in 111 or 'Kiss of Life'. 

I already said about the Mac Riri red lipstick but I have so many different red lipsticks that are all very different that I love to wear. 

  

I've had this lipstick since about last year and I love to use it in the wintery/autumn seasons with a simple eye look. The packaging isn't as decorative and pretty as the ones above but it is still simple and stylish.

   

As you can see in my pictures, the red is a lot brighter than the Mac Riri lipstick which I had first mentioned. Although the lipstick is meant to matte, I feel that when I apply it is does have a slight sheen whereas the Mac Riri one is completely matte but... I don't mind because I still absolutely love the colour and still wear it.

❤ ❤ ❤

 This next lipstick is also another red lipstick by Rimmel Kate but it is a deeper purple red in 107:

This lipstick is probably one of my very favourite lipsticks of all time and I am so glad that I had brought this. Its a deep burgundy/ wine red and it looks gorgeous with simple eye makeup and a pretty pink blush.

As you can see below, the colour is VERY pigmented and has a slight hint of a pink colour in it which adds a nice feminine touch to it.

❤ ❤ ❤

This final lipstick is a very old one by Marks and Spencer. I know Marks and Spencer aren't really a makeup brand but I still love this lipstick made by them. I got it a very long time ago so I am not sure as to whether you can get it anymore but its one that I own and love and it is 15 or 'Copper Rose'.

Its a very pretty copper shimmery colour with a glittery sheen. The packaging is very sleek and looks very stylish, especially with the small gold band.

I don't normally like shimmery lipsticks but this one I do... its almost slightly metallic.

This swatch shows the lipstick a bit lighter than what it is on my lips because the lipstick is quite sheer so it shows the base through it a bit... when I have it on my lips, its a bit more of a darker brown colour because my lips are darker than the skin on my hand.

❤ ❤ ❤

Wishlist #1

Hey, 

So I've been browsing online lately and looking around some shops and I've seen many things that look appealing to me and that I'd love to own. Leave me a comment or tweet me at twitter.com/fgeorgiaa if you enjoyed this or would like to see more of these types of posts.

Anyway... lets get into it...


So the first thing I have seen that has caught my eye lately can kind of be classed as a group of things in stead of one thing in particular because you can get many different styles. 

I have been loving ABOVE KNUCKLE RINGS. 

I know that these have become very popular recently and some people might like them and some people might hate them but I personally love them! I think they are so cute. I love the small rings with embellishments on such as these:

But I absolutely love the plain band knuckle rings like these:

The next thing that I have seen that I love is more of something that you can do and not just one thing... I love it but I don't know what to call it. So i'm just going say its a WHOLE CARTILAGE PIERCING. 

I've seen this many times before on tumblr and I absolutely love the look of it!

I recently saw beautybaby44 on YouTube get this done and I love it! I also like the look of different piercings like this:

Onto the next thing...

I haven't been looking at a lot of makeup recently, just clothes and   but the one makeup thing that I would love is a DEEP BERRY LIPSTICK that is more purple than red. I have a few red lipsticks that I love but recently, I've been wearing more purple coloured shades and I would love to have a new one.

I found this one and it looks very nice and is certainly close to what I'm looking for:

The final item on my wishlist is an item of clothing... A pair of 'BOYFRIEND JEANS'. I've been seeing a lot of these types of jeans on pinterest and they look so nice paired with a cute pair of heels like the ones in the picture:

 

Thank you so much for reading xx I'm very, very sorry for the lack of posts but I hope you stick with me and enjoy the ones that I do post :)
