Korres Lip Butter Review


"A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish. The combination of Shea butter and Rice wax offers a deep hydration and softness. Ideal for chapped lips."

So that's what is says on the box and I definitely agree. It glides on the lips very smoothly, feeling really creamy and without any sticky sensation. I absolutely love these lips butters and found they helped my dry, chapped lips all throughout winter. Not only do they do their jobs extremely well but they smell ridiculously nice, as in...SO nice!!

I've got the Jasmine one as it was the lightest colour and I was looking for something that I could wear with any outfit and either at day or night. It leaves a lovely shine on the lips with a tint of colour. I can't wait to try the other colours which also smell amazing. Even the box it comes in is really beautiful with a really pretty print on the sides and a cute slide out opening which adds to it's individuality.

Sorry it looks so mucky- really hard to wipe clean without wasting any!

The whole Korres range is made of organic ingredients so not only do I enjoy using them but my skin does too. The lip butters cost £7 which does seem a bit much for such a small tube but I would recommend it as a wee treat. The only bad point I can identify is the size of the tub as I can imagine when it starts to run out a bit more my chubby fingers might not be able to reach in without getting a lot of the product under the nail, which is never something anyone enjoys!

New Favourite Bag!


On one of my many wanders into Primark I stumbled along this absolute beaut of a bag. Its a great size so fits all my daily needs in it while also looking amazing. It came with a shoulder strap but so far I've not used it as I've just enjoyed having it hang on my elbow. 

Not only is the bag a great size and shape it was also £12!!! WHAT!!! I literally checked the label a good few times thinking I'd misread it but I kid you not people...£12! So good that I really want to go get the tanned coloured one as well...very tempted!

I got so excited about this bag I've not used a different one since I bought it, which says a lot as I like to chop and change bags on a near daily basis. I think the colour, style and size of this bag allows it to go with a variety of outfits and I just LOVE it!!

'What I Got For Christmas' Tag












Hello again! Now, I do realise that we are now half way through January so really, a 'What I got for Christmas' blog seems a bit late but I'm hoping that the good old saying "Better late than never" will apply.

Before I get into it all I do want to state that I am in no way trying to show off or brag about what I got, I am really grateful for everything which I recieved and I'm doing a blog on it as it's a tag which I really enjoy reading/watching myself so hopefully you will enjoy this one too.

Blazer- Given to me from my sister. It's from primark (unsure of price as gift) but it's a really nice fit and has an adorable pattern of panda's. Due to the stand-out pattern it's enough to grab the attention in an outfit but the reserved colours keep it from blinding everyone and becoming too much. I'm also looking forward to throwing this on in summer as a light cover up.

Flower storage box- Given to me from my other sister. This was something which I saw long ago and is from Matalan. It has a large storage room in the middle and is nicely cushioned on top so can double up as a wee seat when needed. It's also in a really nice and girly flower print. What more could you want!

Flower print bin and 3 storage boxes- the bin was from the same sister and again from Matalan- she knows how much I like to match things! The three storage boxes, which also match, were from her boyfriend and are also from Matalan. I love how each box is a different colour/pattern but they still tie in together on the whole colour scheme. Lovely!

Babylis curling wand- given to my from my grandparents. I have been wanting to try one for a long time and know this brand is a well trusted one. I also choose this specific wand as you can control the temperature. They got it from argos and it even had £5 off! Just what everyone wants around Christmas time so this beauty was just £20.

Bunch of toiletries- there's too many here to name all but I received a fair number of toiletries. I'm hoping this is because people know it's something which I love to try out and they weren't trying to hint at anything...

 One direction goodies- I was pleasantly surprised by how many one direction goodies I got. It included the annual and two stationary sets. I almost don't want to open them as they're just nice to look at. I also got a poster but that's already hanging on the wardrobe. I'm not ever ashamed!

Just pink perfume- this is from Next and costs just £6.50! It's one of my favourites fragrances, especially so due to the price. It's a really nice sherbet smell which is lovely and light and reminds me of Spring- even though I have been wearing it throughout Winter. I also received a 'Just Pink' scented candle, body lotion and bath foam in a cute set with an adorable little box. This was from a sister and was £12 from Next, it also included another bottle of the perfume. Bonus!


That's all for now I'm afraid but will be trying to blog a bit more (things are starting to calm down a bit at work so will hopefully have more time to focus on here). Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and if any of you have done the same tag or have similar blogs then please let me know as I love reading them and discovering new blogs to follow.
