Weleda - Wild Rose Night Cream

Retails at £14.95 - 30ml.

Now I was rather excited to review this product which came in this month's SSB box! At first I really enjoyed the scent as I had smelt it when I had first opened my box. The reason why I was so excited for this product as it is a night cream. Now I've seen lots of good things about night creams and how they are a must within your skin care routine so I was excited!

I've been using it every night before bed this week and I know it's not a very long time to use and then review the product but I found some faults within the first time of using. Now at first glance (or smell) the scent was rather nice and different to other scents of night cream so I rather liked it. However after applying to my face for a few nights I got bored of the smell and really began to dislike it. Maybe it's just me but I rather dislike the 'wild rose' smell as it is rather overpowering.

However I decided to carry on using it despite the smell. In a morning my skin did feel rather nice and refreshed however another problem. After applying on a night the cream would take a long time to sink in and well I just though that was how it worked however half an hour after applying my skin just felt greasy as if I'd not taken my make up off which really did put me off. I carried on using and got the same problem every time after applying. Also I noticed on the first application that the cream was actually an off yellow colour which really put me off and as I like plain and neutral creams. 

Despite liking the idea of night creams I don't think this one is really for me. I don't like the smell all that much as it is overpowering and also I don't like the greasy feeling after being applied and also it just takes forever to skin in whereas my normal moisturizer takes merely minutes. I would not repurchase at all, I wasn't overly impressed. I think if I do start using night creams I'll have to scope around for a nice one which suits my skin.

Hello Sunday!

Yay it's finally Sunday one of the best days on the week - apart from Friday. For a change I'm not actually at work today, how lovely! I'm either going to be spending the day catching up on some good 'ol books and watching some films. I may even be seeing my dad today however I'm not too sure. I've had a rather lovely week spent mostly at college but also with my lovely boyfriend. He came to my house one night and brought me a gorgeous little surprise in the shape of flowers. I've never actually been given flowers so it was a lovely little treat.

I had a day off this Thursday due to college training days and what not so I spent it at my boyfriends making a little  ginger bread house and brownies! They tasted so divine but you wouldn't tell from the picture. I've got a busy week coming up - Assessment Week! 3 hour blocks of all my college lessons but apart from that I get all of Thursday and Friday off which is quite wonderful I have to admit.  I also got paid this week and I'm sat to sad it's all gone this week. Boohoo, however I did buy this gorgeous coat, I literally fell in love with it!

What I've Been Loving This Week

This is such a cute & wonderful idea. I'd love to do this for my boyfriend at Christmas!

How wonderful is this?? I love cats so if I had a kitchen this would definitely be up!

Like I said I have a big week ahead of me so instead films and reading I'll probably be revising hard later today! However I can't wait until next payday which is just under a week and a bit away! I'm getting quite a big chunk this time round so it'll be mass Christmas shopping for me! I'm ever so excited and I've already got my lists for everyone planned and maybe a cheeky little giveaway for you all.

How are you spending your Sunday?

Fame - Lady Gaga Eau de Parfum

(bad quality pictures due to having no memory card for my camera)

I've been so excited to review this product for you all as it has quickly become my new favorite perfume!

I think many of you are now aware that I got the Lady Gaga 'Fame' perfume for my birthday. Now I've been raving on and on about this perfume and how much I wanted it however I was a little apprehensive about the scent, would it be too girly? Would it be floral and sweet and so unlike Gaga? However high my expectations were, it was so much better. It was sweet and musky and slightly overpowering when first put on but as the scent fades it lingers on my clothes/body and can sometimes stay with me all day!

Now the thing I like a lot about this scent is that the fluid is black, even on the case it's presented as 'black fluid' which is definitely Gaga being original as this perfume is one of a kind until others follow in her footsteps. My boyfriend being the wonderful guy he is decided to get me the gift set which also contained body wash in the most gorgeous box! The body wash smells exactly like the perfume which is wonderful!

In my opinion the perfume is very original and one of a kind. You don't even have to like the artist to like this perfume, despite the use of black fluid and the design of the bottle portraying her, you wouldn't expect this type of scent to come out of Gaga which I really do like. As I said it's a very sweet scent which would make most teenage girls happy and maybe even a few adults - my mum and auntie sure do like it!

I would definitely recommend and repurchase. At the moment you can get the same deal I got for around £25 in Boots and when this offer is other you can buy the perfume on it's on for £25 which I think is a rather nice deal for the quality you are getting with the scent. I'm really pleased with this product.
