The first light of day…with BOSS JOUR Pour Femme

June 16, 2013

Fact 1) I love Gwyneth Paltrow, so everything she represents makes me go “oooeeeh gimme gimme gimme”
Fact 2) BOSS Nuit Pour Femme is one of my current favourite night time fragrances…

So you can imagine my excitement when I found out that Boss is launching their new fragrance; BOSS JOUR Pour Femme at the end of this month. The inspiration for this new day time fragrance is ‘the first light of day’ – as they feel that at this time of the day the BOSS woman takes a brief moment to prepare herself for the day ahead and feel inspired to pursue all its opportunities.

“With a combination of delicate white flowers and vibrant citrus we were able to create something feminine, elegant, and sophisticated. The aim was to not only make women feel beautiful, composed and inspired, but give them a fragrance that combined this with a soft burst of freshness that mirrored that feeling of anticipation and excitement at the first light of day.” Will Andrews, Fragrance Creation Team

The fragrance was designed around three important parts that make up today’s modern woman being; light, inspiration and elegance. I really love the inspirational message they are sending with this campaign saying “the day starts at dawn – write your own story” because I am a true believer that every day presents an option for a fresh start!

Thinking about what would be the perfect first light of day for me, it would probably have to be somewhere sunny and overlooking the ocean. I’d love to wake up every day with the sun streaming in (when I open the curtains that is) and having the sound of the waves softly in the background. This would definitely beat hearing the overground going past my house every morning, haha, even though I have to admit it this has almost become quite a comforting sound to me now!

Oh and, as usual, how beautiful does Gwyneth look in these promotional images for Jour Pour Femme? I am definitely very curious to check out this new fragrance, are you?

BOSS JOUR Pour Femme will be coming soon to Boots, before going nationwide at the end of July. Click here to score yourself a free sample of the fragrance at Boots.com.

Plus be the first or second person to purchase a bottle of BOSS Jour pour femme when it launches and you will receive a £1,000 HUGO BOSS fashion store shopping voucher as a special gift!

Guess where I am?

June 14, 2013

The sun is shining and I am going to spend the most of my today at the beach. Woohoo it is HOLIDAY time! :)

Yes, I am excited to say that my next 5 days will be filled with sunshine, beach, good food and lots and lots of fun times with friends…where do you ask? Well, I am writing you all from The White Isle, aka IBIZA!

This beautiful island of the coast of Spain has been on my to-go-to list forever and so far I am loving everything about it already! It’s got everything you could ask for; white sandy beaches, crystal blue waters, amazing restaurants and bars and of course the world’s most famous super clubs sprinkled all around the island.

This is the life!

Tonight will be my first night out in Ibiza. Super excited – bring it on! :)
I will be posting pictures on Instagram during my trip! Have you been to Ibiza before? If so, I would love to read your tips!

Bourjois Maxi Delight Bronzer

June 13, 2013

With summer finally here, it’s time to crack out the BIG bronzers again! Last summer my go-to overall summer glow bronzer was MUA Bronzed Perfection (review here). I pretty much used it every day to give me natural looking but warm bronzed skin. This summer I was excited to learn that Bourjois, who already produce one of my favourite bronzers, had released their first large format sunny bronzing powder!

The Bourjois Maxi Delight Bronzer has a lovely delicate, soft and light texture to ensure it gives you a radiant glow without looking powdery. And just like their other bronzers it smells like chocolatey summery goodness, I love it! I think maxi sized bronzers are the bronzers to use in summer because you can give yourself a radiant bronzed glow on the face and easily extend it to your décolleté with one single product. I love using my SuperDry Khabuki brush to do this, the neon pink colour just instantly makes me happy!

The Bourjois Maxi Delight Bronzer comes in two complimentary shades, light/medium and dark/tanned, to ensure it is suitable for all skin colourings. The maxi powder compact contains a whopping 18 gram of product and is only £8.99/€9.99.

The NEW Bourjois Maxi Delight Bronzer is available now at your local Boots store and at Boots.com and nationwide from July 2013 at both Boots.com and Superdrug.com.
