Dior Rouge Lipstick - Swan 263

I absolutely fell in love with the colour as soon as I saw it when out shopping for a new lipstick over the weekend.
It's really my kind of colour as it's a kind of nude/pink combo, lovely and girly.
HOWEVER, I stepped outside the store upon purchasing and went to apply my new colour only to feel it snap under the very light application pressure. I went back into the store and they quickly replaced the lipstick for me. I've now had my new lipstick 2 days, and applied it maybe 4 times (the colour is long lasting) only to find that the same thing has happened to this stick...

OPI - I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw

Another OPI review, from their 'Euro Centrale' range. This week I've gone for something a little different to my usual safe purples and reds. I couldn't decide between the amazing lilac (You're Such a BudaPest) or the I Saw... U Saw... We Saw... Warsaw, but with the weather being as miserable as it is I decided to hold on the spring pastels and stick with something a little darker.

The white lines are just a reflection from the overhead lighting in my office (due to the high gloss OPI Top Coat - something I highly recommend investing in if you want your polish to last that bit longer and look that much more professional). As you can see this is a really nice shade of midnight blue. This colour look so much nicer on than it does in the bottle. I think I've been converted to a navy nail fan!

OPI - Want to Bite My Neck

I'm absolutely in L.O.V.E with OPI and very rarely use anything other. If you've not had chance to take a look at their new collection 'Euro Centrale' I would strongly advise taking a sneaky peek www.opi.com 
This week I am wearing their new Want to Bite My Neck, a deep but bright eggplant colour.

Brand Review - Jones and Jones

So I said I would post something this afternoon about a brand I am loving at the moment, Jones and JonesThey are by no means a new brand, they are currently stocked by Topshop (this is where I got my first Jones and Jones dress). I'm pretty obsessed with their dresses and skirts, they are utterly girly and flattering and I think that's why I love them so much. Their ethos is to provide edgy, directional, strong and feminine styles - and I can vouch that this is what you get. I get countless compliments whenever and wherever I wear their dresses. I wore the black Vivienne dress on a hen party in Barcelona and ended up sitting with a local girl and directing them to the Jones and Jones website. I love the silhouette that their dresses create, especially the backless dresses such as the Vivienne dress - this was my first and is my go-to LBD. I've also bought their Red Hot Black Prom Dress, the Vivienne Black and Sliver Dress and the Poppy Gold Sequin Dress amongst a few others. I'm usually a size 8 but I've always got a size 10 from Jones and Jones as I feel it fits my bust a little better. Below is a picture of me in the Black Vivienne dress, it was a cold winter evening in the UK hence the tights (a usual no-no for me).
