Fairy Lights

I have been eyeing fairy lights for my room for a while, but I could never find one that was reasonably priced, and I could not pay for something that I know that I can make something similar and cheaper. so after seeing this picture I decided I would give it a try.

And it turns out it is not so complicated, You will need origami paper (£6.75) and I got some Christmas light from last year.
I have to say that the picture above look much better than mine, but I'm happy with it.
( I made holes in the bottom because the paper is very thick)

Would you try making it?

Is it worth the hype? Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balms

As I said on my Monday's post I was browsing around Boots and I realised that the new Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balms were out, and after seeing/reading a lot of reviews about them I wanted to try them out too.
(Natural light. From left to right: Darling, Rendezvous, Lovesick)

If you are unfamiliar with this product, they are lip stain and lip balm together, when you first apply they fell like the lip butters however they last longer, the lighters lip products doesn't stain as well as the darker/ brighter one. They are extremely easy to apply and they smell/taste like mint.
After the disappointment of the Lip Butter I was hoping they were as good as people were saying they were, but I can honestly say that they are defiantly better than the Lip Butters. I would recommend them.
Have you tried them? Do you like them? Let me know in the comments below.

NOTD: Fiji by Essie and Gold by Nailgirls

I'm on my way to the airport right now and I decided to show you my nails, I think it is just perfect for holidays. It is very simple but the gold just gives a pop of glamour!
Fiji by Essie is a bit streaky but with two coats looks fine. The Gold nail polish is super easy to work with, I could've applied only one coat, but I like to apply two coats.

B`s thought: Revlon Photoready Cream Blush

About a week ago I was browsing around Boots and came across the new collection of cream blushes from Revlon, The new collection contains 3 cream blushes but as usual the Boots I was in only had one.  
(Natural light. Cream Blush in Flushed Rouginssant 200)

This blush looks very natural when blended but it can also be worn more heavily. When applied to the skin it goes more like a powder and the finish is matte, which I like specially for summer as my skin is already oily.
My favourite way to apply it is with my finger but when it is applied with a stippling brush looks lovely as well.
I like Revlon Photoready products because it lasts a long time, even with cream products like this one. This blush has became my favourite cream blush and it's already on my suitcase.
I would like to try the others blush from this collection, they look great!

Look for less - Hanna Marin- Pretty Little Liars.

I haven't done a post like this one in a long time, also I haven't done a fashion post in a while now and I really  miss them!
So, today I'm showing you an outfit that Hanna wore a few episodes back, I love this trend of wearing cute short shorts with a blazer/jacket.

I love Hanna's style, she is always put together and always so fashionable, I would love to dress like her, sometimes I try buy most of her outfits, but they are too much for myself.
Hanna's outfit is not super expensive but we can always get a similar and spend less.
Her jacket is from Zara (£89.99) but if you don't want to spend that much in a jacket I would suggest this H&M yellow jacket (£29.99) or this Dorothy Perkins (£40.00). The white top can be from anywhere, just a normal fitted tank top, the one she's wearing is from American Appeal.
The necklace is from Urban Outfitters, I couldn't find on the website but a few months ago I got a similar one from Topshop.
Last but not least her shorts are from Joie ($92.00) but I would go for this ones from zara for £12.99.

I absolutely love this outfit, do you? would you wear it? Let me know in the comments below.

B`s thoughts: LUSH Jumping Juniper shampoo bar

As I'm leaving next week to Malta for my holidays and I need all the space I can get on my little plastic bag I thought it would be a good idea if I didn't need to put a shampoo in there, so I had two options: I could buy a shampoo once I'm there or buy a solid shampoo. I decided to give the LUSH shampoo bar a go.

It smells like lavender, I personally don't like it but the smell is not very strong and not overpowering, I couldn't smell it after washing it.
At first it was a little scary to use, it feels like soap and the thought of washing my hair with soap is terrifying, but after rubbing it on my hands it started  to lather it felt like liquid shampoo, I washed my hair as I usually do.
I really like this, it cleans my hair very well and makes it shiny and bouncy, however I need to use a conditioner after using it.
The girl in the LUSH store said this particular shampoo is good for people with oily hair, so if you hair is dryer I would recommend you to choose another one.
She also said that it lasts up to 1000 washes, I can't say if it does because it's the first time I bought it.

It can be purchased in any LUSH store or on the website. (£5.22).
Have you ever tried any LUSH shampoos bar? Which is your favourite?
