Monthly Lusts | July 2014

Hiya guys, so obviously I spend way too much time scrawling through tumblr, polyvore and many other fashion themed apps and I fall in love with many many things each month so I've decided to write a post each month about things I've been lusting over so here goes: 

♥ MILLY Crossbody - Miley Hologram Camera ♥

THIS BAG OMG, I love this bag so much and I just cannot stop staring at it, it's the perfect sized and shaped bag for me and I love the holographic print on it, it reminds me of a mermaid. I think this would look amazing with an all black out fit because it'll add such a pop of colour, I want it in my life so bad, shame about the £198 price tag. That's the only thing stopping me from buying this baby! If anyone finds me a dupe for this I would honestly bow down to you.

♥ Zoeva Rose Gold Make Up Brush Set ♥

 I need some new makeup brushes because I'm bored of using the same Real Techniques ones all the time. I've heard a lot about the zoeva brushes from various bloggers so I had a gander (ew I hate that word) on their website and I particularly liked these ones because of the beautiful rose gold detailing they would look lovely on display on my dressing table! 

♥ Dr Martens 1461 ♥

I can't choose whether I like the Patent ones or the matte ones, I think Dr Martens are such a staple pair of shoes and look so classic and vintage. I didn't think they'd suit me because I have such skinny ankles I thought they'd look so chunky like clown feet so I tried some on at work (I work in Schuh which is a shoe shop) and they suprisingly looked alright and everyone said they suited me so I might have to have a cheeky use of my staff discount card on them because I think they'd be perfect for winter! 

♥ Check Cardigan - Urban Outfitters ♥

I'm already looking for clothes for winter because dressing for winter is my absolute favorite, I find it so easy to dress in the winter than summer because you can just chuck on a comfy jumper and you're good to go. I saw this cardigan on the urban outfitters website and it's so me I fell in love instantly. It's monochrome so my favorite colours to wear and it looks super comfy so I think I might have to treat myself to this very soon *oopsy* 

There we go guys, that's everything I've been drooling over this month, I hope you enjoyed this post. Tell me something you've lusted over this month! 

Love ya,

REVIEW | Le Volume De Chanel Mascara

Hi guys, firstly a massive massive apology for not posting in like decades my laptop decided to give up on me completely so now I have to use whatever laptops around the house I can get my hands on. Apart from all the apologies I have a review for you today guys which is of one of my first high end mascaras! 

I picked up the Chanel Le Volume De Chanel mascara from the airport in Malta, at first I was skeptical about the price because as I said this was my first kind of designer make up product and I was telling myself "no izzy your rimmel glam eyes day to night mascara works just as well " but knowing me, I like a good splurge and I had some euros left so I thought why not, you only live once. 

I love it, my other drugstore mascara's work just as well but there's just something about this mascara that's different (and not just the classy packaging) okay I was drawn in a little by the BEAUTIFUL packaging, a sleek black tube with the Chanel sign, but the product is pretty good itself.
 It just seems to work wonders for my lashes. It's specifically a volumising mascara and I really feel because of the length and shape of the brush this statement is true. I have very short lashes so the brush of this mascara works with them very well because it has lots of tiny little brisles which pick up every lash and the formula which is number 10 'noir' is such a true black colour. I find that other mascaras namely drugstore ones, throughout the day they come of and turn a grey colour or some just come of completely however this one stays on all day and is really black which is what a lot of my other drug store mascaras lack, the staying power.

I picked it up for 28 euros in Malta airport and back in the UK I think it costs around £25, I'm not good with exchange rates so whether I saved money or splurged who knows but I love it none the less and is a revolutionary make up product in my make up bag. 

If any one knows any good dupes of this mascara please please pretty please let me know as it's not something I want to splurge on too often that would be much appreciated.
