Make Up Forever HD Powder

I completely forgot I had taken these photos, but this is the make up that I wore on Sunday when I went to see Kayne West and Jay Z at the Watch The Throne tour with my boyfriend.

When I picked up Reel Sexy and Watch Me Simmer I really did think I would be reaching for Reel Sexy a lot more and considered Watch Me Simmer to be a shade that would take a little growing on me and more suitable for proper Summer, but I have really surprised myself and Watch Me Simmer has absolutely lived on my lips. For the daytime it's brightened me up a little and for work it is just the perfect shade. I haven't worn a nude lip for almost a week! Shocking.

My hair in these pictures looks extremely fly away and flat, and that's because it was. I put my hair through such a tough time, especially at work with all the hairspray and back combing, on my days off I am trying to give it a bit of a break. I still need a little bit of product/heat, but I'm trying to keep it minimal. 

The colour is still Nice 'n' Easy Dark Warm Brown, it's the first semi-permanent shade I've found that I really like using and I've had so many compliments on it.

I hope you're all well and enjoying the very pleasant heat wave!

JLS Kiss Launch

This evening, the very lovely Krista gave me her place to go to the launch of the JLS fragrance, Kiss. 

It was a very well put together event, in the most beautiful red carpeted venue- One Marylebone. 

It was full of seriously amazing cocktails, delicious canapés and girls glammed up girls all waiting to meet the four babes themselves- Marvin, Aston, JB and Oritse.

They were such lovely down to earth boys, having a laugh and a few blushes on stage with some cheeky questions and answers before giving us all the opportunity for a nice little photo opportunity, which I very much enjoyed.

The fragrance is very much a celebrity scent, reminding me of quite a few different fragrances that I have smelt in the past. Particularly one, but unfortunately I can't for the life of me think what it is- no help!

With perfume being very much to personal taste, I must admit that it's not my favourite smell ever, but it is pleasant and one of the better celebrity lined fragrances that I have tried.

The boys explained during the Q&A session that they all put their input into creating it, using their individually preferred notes to create one fragrance that they would like to smell on a girl.

The notes they decides on were

Top Notes: Peach Skin, Loganberry, Bergamot, Cassis and Mandarin

Heart Notes: Jasmine, Tuberose, Muguet, Rose absolute, Black Orchid, Neroli flower.

Base Notes: Amber crystals, White Musk, Patchouli and Oakmoss.

Aston loves the cassis note, Oritse added in the Black Orchid as it's his favourite flower, Marvin adores Tuberose and so added that in and JB wanted the hypnotic scent of amber crystals to linger on the skin.

The boxed packaging of the perfume is quite bright and out there, each side featuring a photo of one of the boys (my favourite obviously being Marvin!), whereas the bottle itself is minimally White with a cheeky little JLS Star. One thing I really like about the packaging is that is has a unique magnet lid, which personally, I think is a nice little touch. 

    This EDT is available to buy in The Perfume Shop, Boots and The Fragrance Shop and costs just £14-30ml and £20-60ml, which for fragrance is a very reasonable price.

Are you a fan of celebrity fragrance and does a JLS Kiss appeal to you?
