imPRESS have done it again.

Ok people, I am completely sold on these stick on nails. I mentioned them a while back when I got them in the Feb Glossybox and I also wore them for my cousins wedding back in June and I can safely say that these are the best on the market. They come in between £7.99-£8.99 and are absolutely worth every penny! 

The application of the nails is so so easy...you just peel off the preglued nails and stick and press them on and there you go! They do last around 5 days I would say...a week tops if you are careful and come in a variety of shades. 
My favourite has been Tweetheart because I love the red colour. Here is a picture of them when I wore them for my cousins celebrations. They are so easy to take off too, no mess or glue left over or hassle of the horrible acrylic nails! 


Do check out the imPRESS website you can see all the styles they have to offer!

I hope that you are all well!

Fancied.

Ahhh let me just start off by saying how much I love http://www.thefancy.com/
It is just the most amazing online shopping site with the coolest things...I know I know I am so late on this bandwagon but I love browsing through it none the less! It does have some of the most down right expensive and ridiculous things but it also has quirky and cute items that I need to stop myself from buying!

I have a few picks which are incredible.

Breathable Chocolate by Le Whif. Why eat it when you can whiff it?


Ben & Jerry's Oh My! Apple Pie! Ice Cream. For all those horrid rainy summer days.


Azature Black Diamond Nail Polish. For those Star Wars inspired times.


Continuance Rechargeable USB Battery. I am not even joking this is the best invention ever!





Pillow Fight Gear. For that inner child in me. Ok I don't advocate the use of Weapons. AT ALL. But this pillow gear made me smile that's all.


Floating Origami Boat Candles. This is just plain cute.






Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Rich Lipstick | Nordstrom. They had me at the packaging! :P





Ahhh I could just browse this site forever and ever. It has the most beautiful and eclectic of things.

Have you seen anything you fancy?

Much love to you all!

Drugstore Haul

I decided to try out a few new things from the drugstore this week!



The Intuition Razor I have been meaning to try for a while so I am looking forward to using it. Jolen do the best bleach and I was running out (lol) and the Bioré nose strips have been a staple of mine for a long time they were on offer so it had to be done!

I have wanted to try the Nutri-Gloss Crystal shampoo for a while now and the big 400ml bottle were under £2 from Superdrug so I just couldn't say no! I like this shampoo because it leaves my hair feeling light and bouncy and adds an amazing shine on its own..I guess the glitter like formula has a lot to do with that. The downside is that after a day and a half my hair starts to look extra greasy...but I do enjoy using this shampoo its great for sunny days and it can perk up your hair!

Have you tried many of the shampoos in the Elvive collection?

Have a nice day all!

Confessions and Extra Special Birthday Wishlists.

Hello everyone,
I will be honest straight away...this blog has been on Queue for the past month. Ah I know I am very very terrible. But in between I had a few personal issues to deal with and I went on holiday...if you follow me on Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr you might have seen... So now I will be working on compiling all of my adventures from USA & Canada...as well as what I have been up to for the past few weeks..



SO

The main thing I wanted to include in this post was a birthday wish list. I will be turning slightly older on Thursday 16th August and I just had a few things that were on my mind. Hint hint friends and family. Listen up!

~ Chanel Nail Colour in Frenzy. This is in their new Autumn/ Winter collection and it is described as a grey, lilac- taupe colour and is a must have in my books. I tend to go for a new Chanel colour every so often because their nail varnishes are just amazing.


~ Urban Decay Smoked Palette. Now this eyeshadow palette is my cup of tea, it has the right amount of nudes and darker shades and a guidebook on how to create the perfect smokey eye. What is not to love?
H&M Studded handbag. I have already declared my love for the studs. But BOTH of these would be a treat to me. I like how the studs are on the side rather than the bottom. UGH I just love both of these colours so much, and at £29.99 it is AMAZING.




~ Michael Kors Madison Glitz Watch, Espresso. Oh I just LOVE this brand, serious serious love. Most people tend to go for the Rose Gold or Gold colours but I in fact love the Espresso it has a really edgy feel to it and this is something that I would just LOVE. :D

 ~ Ladurée Rose flavoured Macaroons. Simply because they are the best thing ever. EVER. EVER. EVER. My goodness I wish I lived next door to a Ladurée.....



*sigh* I love birthday wish lists....but most of the time I never get what I want. One can always wish though!


On a slightly nicer note...my kind kind brother decided to let me choose what I wanted for my birthday this year...and being a 19 year old hopeless boy who has never even taken an interest in beauty products I went for the safe option of Books...as I do love to read. The dude that he is ordered the whole collection of Game of Thrones for me the very same day...I am just waiting until it is Aug 16th and I can open the box to start reading!





Anyway,
I hope that you enjoyed reading my unrealistic list of things I want...I just wish I was lucky enough to win £148 million like that couple that won the lottery last week! Imagine all the amazing stuff I could buy and give away to good causes?!?

Take care my friends,
Ash xxx

Gucci Flora

I absolutely love some of the fragrances that have come out recently. Gucci released  special fragrances a part of their Flora range and my parents picked up the Gracious Tuberose for me recently. Although I have just found out that they released a Violet inspired one too which I haven't seen anywhere and I am desperate to have a smell of that!





Personally it is my favourite of the ones that have been released it has notes of violet leaves and white cederwood that give it a special summer/refreshing smell. It does last a long time too and I have been using it non stop since I got it.


What is your favourite Gucci Fragrance?
Keep smiling lovelies

Parents Choice

My parents were away to France recently and they picked up some very awesome stuff for me including two pairs of shoes!





I love both pairs of flats that my mum got for me. They are comfortable and in gorgeous colours!

I hope that you are all well my dears!
