LA Candy Book Review

This was the first novel from mega reality star Lauren Conrad, and is loosely based on her experiences whilst filming hit TV shows “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills”.

Although not the most literary amazing book, the plot it very catchy, and you feel that Lauren is being as sincere as she can in a novel.

In my opinion, if you want a funny girly book (but not shallow) for light reading, you’ll love this novel! If you have no interest in The Hills, this book probably isn’t for you.

I can’t wait to read the sequels!

What do you think of Lauren Conrad’s books? X

Jessie J - "Who You Are" - Album Review

I recently got Jessie J’s long awaited debut album “Who You Are”. Although I liked her released singles “Price Tag” and “Do It like a Dude”, I didn’t expect the whole album to be as good. 

This album, however, has far outshone my expectations – it’s the best all-round album I’ve heard in a long time (since “I am...” and “The Fame”)!! Every song is catchy!

Although at times cheesy, this is a real good album – I don’t think people know just how incredible Jessie J’s vocals are; her range and techniques are top class!

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb: Rave/Review

After lusting over this for months in the shops, I finally recieved Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb EDP this Christmas!

I cannot tell you how much I am IN LOVE with this perfume....it's the perfect scent for me

It's very sweet, but kind of sugary spicily sweet instead of sickly. Although it's called flowerbomb, to me, it doesn't seem to floral, and I'm not a fan of floral scents.
The packaging and bottle are SO pretty and look great on a dressing table.

However, it seems gorgeousness does come at a cost.

This is pricier than most high-end perfumes avaiblable: at the moment it is retailing for £61 for 50ml and £81.50 for 100ml (at John Lewis).

Bargain Beauty - 17 Blusher in "China Pink"

Firstly, apologies for the poor quality of the pictures! I was resigned to using my camera-phone that won't focus properly as I can't find my camera charger! Not very good for my first swatch post, I know!

However, they are colour-accurate!

I have been meaning to get a new blusher for ages, and I really loved this when I saw it! It is the “17 Blush Powder”, available exclusively from Boots, in the colour “China Pink”.

It is the most gorgeous colour – just the right balance of peach, pink and reddish tones – not too light and not too dark! Plus it’s really pigmented!

At just £3.49, and in a range of colours, these blushers are a steal!

Pregnant Pixiwoo!!

Those of you who follow famous internet sensation duo "Pixiwoo" may be interested to hear that Nic is pregnant!

Today, Nicola Chapman and her sister Samantha (who has 2 daughters of her own) revealed in a youtube video that 30 year old Nic is 12 weeks pregnant.
They said they've been reluctant to share the news as Nic has "had two miscarridges in the past".

Nicola, who is getting married to partner Ian just 4 months after the baby is due, said she and Ian "got so emotional" and cannot wait for the birth of her baby.

Congratulations!!

Gwen Stefani's Covershoot for ELLE



Gwen Stefani for ELLE

This is the subscriber's cover of the April 2011 Elle cover, starring Gwen Stefani. It's simple, but oh-so beautiful! Gwen looks positively glowing!

In this interview 41-year-old Stefani talks (not to any old interviewer, but to a close girlfriend from the music industry) about balancing her career with her family life, her body, and those emotional reunion gigs with her old band No Doubt, from which she had a long term relationship with (now ex) partner, Tony Kanal.

This cover definitely ranks as one of my faves - the use of colour is particularly clever, and besides, Gwen looks amazing in this shoot!
