GlossyBox - Harrods Edition

Bliss Blood Orange + White Pepper Body Butter: first things first - love that it is paraben free.

This is a beautiful body butter - the consistency means you need to work it in the skin a wee bit but once absorbed, it disappears.

It's, also, very refreshing and smells divine.

A definite pampering body product - shame it hasn't added benefits as anti-cellulite or firming.

ReVive Intensite' Creme Lustre SPF30: unfortunately, this is too thick for me; so thick that I found it even hard to get it out of the jar. I tried few times, at night, and it just doesn't suit my skin type but I read nice reviews from other users. 

I will pass it over to my mum, I think, as she has dry skin.

Versace Vanitas Eau de Parfum: I'm not a fan of perfume samples as they are so personal - and I'm so fussy - that I rarely liked the ones that I was sent before.

Exception to the rule, I suppose, as Im really liking this scent; also, it's a deluxe sample - the bottle is quite big and very pretty - love the engravings on the cap.

Clarins Entra-Firming Body Cream: this cream is just right up my alley - exactly what I look for in a body cream. The tube is too small to really see any improvement in the toning department but I have faith in Clarins and I might give a full size bottle a go.

Leighton Denny nail polish in Honey Trap: I was sent another Leighton Denny varnish before but I didn't like it very much as it took ages to dry.

This looks better: love the colour, it has a very glossy finish and it's not streaky at all... liking the mini bottle, too.

*this is quite an old eye pencil... in fact I don't think Versace even makes make up anymore... It's a pretty teal colour tho and stays put forever; I'll try and post some swatches, if you're interested... :)

Also, I have started adding links to the swatched of the products... let me know if this is any helpful :)

I love the colours on the this Lee shirt, too!!!

Versace for H&M

So, finally I managed to buy something from  the H&M Designers Collaborations.

Two years ago, quite naively, I went queuing for Jimmy Choo but invade. 

Santa was very generous tho as he brought me the clutch that I wanted. :)

Then, last year I gave it a go on the website - I wanted the earrings from Lanvin line but I had no luck. 

Again, this year I tried to buy few bits online and surprisingly I managed to get THE 2 items that I wanted. Hurray!!!

Btw, the order took forever to arrive. I thought it went lost in the mail because it was supposed to arrive between 21st and 25th and I just received today. On top of that, the box wasn't even sealed!! What a disgrace.

I, mainly, wanted the ring and I'm glad I got it in gold (I could have chosen the red version but, having seen the enamel flower on the bracelet, I'm happy with my choice). I thought I needed a L but it was sold out so I ordered the M anyway. Good news - it fits perfectly on my index finger!

It's probably more 'bling' then my usual style but I like it.

I like the wee colourful box too. :)

Unfortunately, the bracelet is going back!

I tried it on but as soon as I move my arm 1 flower slides on the left and the other on the right, leaving the gap in the middle... I feel it doesn't sit properly and simply don't like the look of it. I rather have my money back.

Plus, there's another collection coming out in January - I already have my eyes on some nice floral pumps instead. ;)

What do you think, girls? Should I have kept the bracelet?
