Ted Baker/New Bath & Body Collection

I'm a huge Ted Baker fan, I own clothing, handbags purses and even jewelry. 
The brand new body product range has just launched and I've been lucky enough to try* both of the new fragrances on offer, they come in both full and travel sizes so you can even take them with you on your holidays. 

I adore the packaging, and in true Ted Baker style they are something you'd want to show off on your dresser, and of course in your bathroom. 

So what does the collection have to offer? 
Well you'll find body wash, body moisturiser, body mist, lip balm and bubble bath. 
The fragrances are: Pink & Mint. 

Pink is a gorgeous blend of grapefruit, mandarin and mango with subtle floral notes of neroli and jasmine, and base notes of patchouli sandalwood and musk complete the scent, it's fresh, sweet and gentle. I've been reviewing the body wash, body mist and body souffle in this collection and this is my fave out of the 2 fragrance selections. My must have product is the souffle, its a gorgeous thick creamy moisturiser that melts into the skin. The pot is stunning, its all cut into gorgeous angles and is a must have on the dressing table. 
The wash is as good as you'd expect didn't find it dried my skin out or anything and is packed with the same fragrance as the other products, as it's not overly strong it would be a good idea to layer with the wash, then the souffle and the mist to finish. The mist is great for a freshen up during the day so I always have mine in my handbag. 

The Mint fragrance is a blend of fruity top notes, and a hint of violet, and base notes of patchouli, vanilla & amber. It's not a minty smell that's purely the colour of the packaging and the fragrance is more fresh than floral so if that's more you then go for the mint one. You'' see from these pictures that I've got the Pink collection in the standard sizes and the Mint collection in the minis. 
These products are all exclusive to Boots here in the UK so head over the Boots.com Website to shop the range now. 

Each fragrance offers gift sets which are just perfect to give to your fave female friends, who wouldn't want to receive these?!

Christian Louboutin Beauté/Nail Polish Launch



It all started back in 1992 when the iconic red sole was actually created using a nail polish, rumoured to be revlon, after sketching a shoe he adored on paper Christian Louboutin felt something was missing, noticing his assistant painting her nails he grabbed the polish and added the red sole, and that was it, the red sole as we know and love it today was born! 

The cult product in this whole collection is of course the trademark rouge, which is the exact shade of red that's on the sole of the iconic shoes. Each bottle is designed to mimic a crystal and each lid is designed to be like a stiletto, the polish does look like its floating inside creating a black to red ombre effect, just like the classic red and black combination.
The cap is designed on the Ballerina Ultima Heel which was part of a collab with David Lynch, each polish is designed to be an object of art and design, and the rouge as it stands taller than all the others is a must have for your dresser.


Mani Madness! Shoes with nail shapes on them sit alongside this collection.



The collection has 3 different elements to it:
         The Pops Collection features intense bright pops of colour with a silver cap.
The Noirs are intense black, browns & greens with a gunmetal lid.
The Nudes Collection are all soft creme nudes finished with a rose gold cap

The rouge polish stands alone from the collections and all feature an even taller gloss black stiletto inspired lid. You wont find the polishes in the beauty halls at Harrods, they'll be displayed amongst the exclusive capsule shoe collection that's being released along side them. 


Rich and highly pigmented the polish is said to be as strong as 20 layers of polish after just 2 coats!
Long lasting, chip free and free from any nasties, is it worth the £36 a bottle price tag? 

The rouge has launched now, shortly to follow in August will be the Pops, The Noirs, and The Nudes and a top coat and base coat.

August the 14th launches in Selfridges, Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Louboutin Boutiques.

From a man who claims to prefer artificial or 'created' beauty as apposed to natural will you be buying into this collection?

I am PRAYING lipstick will be next....
