Impulse

Finally , I'm doing a review on Impulse body fragrances . I have been using this since i'm 12 and it has been part of my life on a daily basis . Literally . I'm pretty sure I have not gone a day without using it. I like to have two bottles of these at all times just so I can alternate the scents and not always have to smell the same thing .


Right now these are the two scents i have : True love - freesias muguet and amber notes , Very pink - grapefruit with a sweet base of vanilla scents . 

 



I don't really have a favorite scent out of all the ones available but I do have a preference for their London and New York scent as well as for any floral-y scent. 

First of all , if you don't know what Impulse is , Impulse is a body fragrance. It's a better alternative to your regular deodorant which has ( most of the time ) anti-perspirants which are actually really bad for you . The word "anti-perspirants" says it all . Your body need to sweat and by using these anti-perspirants you basically stop your body from perspiring. I mean i understand that you don't want to sweat during the day but that's just how it is ! That's why i use these body fragrances on mah pits ( haha there is no other word for that body part i think ... ) to give them a good smell right at the beginning of the day . Best thing about this product ? It is long lasting . Most of the time , I can still smell the scent of the fragrance i chose. As i said before , i have been using this since i was little and have been really pleased with it ! Plus , there is a vast choice of scents to please everyone . I can only say good things about this product. Oh , and if you were wondering how much this product is it's about a pound which is fairly cheap for this bottle which will last you forever . 

If you have any other questions about my blog or this product , don't hesitate to leave a comment below or email me

Tuesday Summary

Today is the first day I didn't go to the pool ! We spent the day in a shopping center and just looking at decoration stores . Fun ! Sarcastic in a way , but I end up liking these shops ... I'm about to move houses as well so I'm kind of looking for ideas for my room .

First store we went to in this shopping center was Sephora ! I had never been to Sephora as a beauty product addict . Haha that sounds kind of weird but it's true. I have only recently been obsessed with anything beauty therefore entering a Sephora store during sales is probably not the wisest thing to do. There were so many Urban Decay lipsticks and lip glosses on sale for a mere 9 euros ! There were also a few Make-Up Forever eye shadows on sale . Not sure of the price though . Oh , and there were a few Sephora lip glosses going for 2 euros ! Yes , and I didn't buy a thing . But I don't really regret that because it's not as if I actually needed any of those ... I know a lot of people buy a ton of makeup and only end up using half of  it but I'm not really that sort of person. I like to finish products I buy ( except if they are really bad of course ) . Anyway , I went to the Urban Decay counter looking for their primer but my eyes somehow brought me to their tinted moisturizer. 


I quickly snapped this picture as I wasn't sure it was allowed and I didn't want to get told off by one of the sales women ... But yeah , have any of you tried this product out ? I really want to try a tinted moisturizer . I don't know I'm sort of fantasizing over them right now. I tried it out on my hand and I guess it gives a medium coverage but that's just what I presume from trying it out on my hand . 

Then , we headed to Cyrillus . Your typical french clothing store , if you visit their website or their store you will probably understand what I mean by that . 


But I'm not really into those sort of clothes so I just took a picture of my outfit . 

Top - Zara
Shorts - Tally Weijl
Shoes - Primark 
Ring - Topshop 




Then we headed to Princesse Tam-Tam ( my mom's favorite lingerie store ) and my sister just sat on their sofas in front of their very princess-like changing rooms . They have some really cute stuff in that store but I just couldn't be bothered to look for new bras or PJ's in that moment . I do recommend this store to any girl , albeit their stuff can get a little pricey , during the sale is a great opportunity for you to buy their oh so cool bras. 


Ha ! There goes my first ever summary of my day . That was fun . I think these will be coming up a lot in the next week or so but rest assured there will also be a review here and there . I should probably go take a shower now ! It's too hot .

Five Things

I may be a teensy weensy late for this post but better late than never , no ? I haven't been blogging for five days I believe ... But I am back on track and my internet is working again ! Even though I haven't been blogging , my camera has been following me pretty much everywhere. Lately , I've been lounging around by the pool , eating ice cream , working out by swimming ( I have to lose all my flab :s ) and reading . Here are a few pictures that pretty much sum up my past week , there may be a little more than five pictures though ...


French Elle with Blake Lively on it ! I , personally , am not a fan of french Elle ... It's just really boring . I would compare it to UK's Grazia because of the gruesome story you get in your weekly magazine .


You have got to love lounging by the pool with the smell of lavenders floating around you - so relaxing . 


This is probably one of my favorite gum . I'm pretty sure you can only find this in France as I have never seen this in the UK... 



Oh , I went vintage shopping on Thursday last week with Mayumi and Amelia . It was super fun and if you ever go to Brick Lane I recommend you pop by Rokit . It's the best vintage store on the road , albeit neither of us bought something ! I think vintage shopping is the hardest because each piece of clothing you find you need to imagine with what you're going to pair it with ! 


My head is slightly chopped off but whatever . This was the highlight of my life . I met Kelly Cutrone and got her latest book , Normal Gets You Nowhere , signed ! Oh My God !  Did you see what she wrote ? This totally made my year . 

Anywho , it is so hot out here and I'm thinking of jumping into the pool . My sister is talking to herself outside and that's probably because she has been watching Zoella's videos with me... She even wants to create her own YouTube Channel and we just filmed her talking about summer make-up ?! 

I have too many ideas of blog posts right now but I'm sure my next post will be about pizza . Ah , pizza ... yum .

Update !

Holla peeps !

As you may or may not have seen I have been a little MIA lately and that's because I have been travelling around France to finally arrive at my house in the French Riviera ! HELLO SUNSHINE ! Yes , it is extremely hot and this is our first day at our house and it's been spent in the pool. I will have to do a post resuming the 7th of July which was a more than awesome day for me . ( you guys I met the one and only KELLY CUTRONE. hell yeah and I got her book signed and it was the best day of my life .) So , back to my car trip from London to the South , I had to entertain myself so I bought a few magazines ( I know I broke my one-magazine-a-month rule but whatever ! It's summer and we all a need loads of magazines to read by the pool ... ) and my sister and I had a few photo shoot sessions as we were sitting in the back seat of our car...


Really like this nail trend :) Will be trying it out with brighter colors ...


I love polka dots ! Especially Stella McCartney's take on this new trend.


I absolutely adore this fuzzy coat from Sacai. Never heard of the brand though...




All the pictures with me on it are poses my sister asked me to do . ( pretty random if you ask me ) 

Anywho , to be honest I don't remember what I wrote in the first part of this post as my internet broke down while I was writing this ! I will be trying to post regularly again . A few reviews are on it's way and also I will be bringing you on my trip to the South of France so expect a few pictures !

Zara Haul

We have been having some lovely weather in London ( except for yesterday's thunderstorm! ) and that is the perfect excuse to renew your summer wardrobe. Yesterday , I decided to hit Zara's Sale and came out of it SUCCESSFUL .



I love the mixture of these three colors , a lovely twist from you regular nautical top. 




This simple green top is brought to a whole new level with structured shoulder sleeves and the black zip giving it a modern twist.



This striped top is made of a lovely silky material. The back of the top is slightly longer than the front making it  easy to pair it with a pair of leggings.



This is definitely my favorite buy from yesterday , so simple yet so chic ! The bright yellow is perfect for this season's color blocking trend ! 

If you are on the lookout for any items to suit the color blocking trend you should definitely hit Zara ! Plus , with the sale going on you will definitely find some really good bargains ! These tops were all £17.99 except for the yellow top which was £19.99. , which is not expensive at all for these blouses ( especially if you compare the prices to Topshop! ).

I hope this will help you on your next shopping trip to Zara !
