LUSTING AFTER...

1. Coconut Oil
The health and beauty benefits from Coconut Oil are no secret anymore... Ever since Miranda Kerr revealed she is an avid user, sales have soared.- and it's about time I get myself some! Drizzled over salads, used as a moisturiser or a hair mask on dry ends, Coconut Oil is apparently "2011's must-have" ... So off to Holland & Barrett I trot.

2. Essie Ballet Slippers
So you may see a theme between the two nail varnishes I am currently wanting at the moment - no, they are not exactly the same. For ages I have wanted a nude, pink colour - but thicker than a base coat, for everyday wear... and Essie Ballet Slippers looks about perf to me.

3. Elie Saab Le Parfum
Introducing Elie Saab's first fragrance! A woman in Boots sprayed a little card for me a while back, and as I was in a rush to go and see 'One Day' at the cinema I tossed it in my bag without a second thought. It was only until later that evening when I opened my bag up that I realised how much I loved the fragrance. My whole bag had been saturated in the scent and it was amazing! Now however, the smell has well and truely left my bag and I haveee to get my hands on a bottle.

4. Nars blush in Deepthroat
I have been wanting this blush for ageees, but no longer having my bar job back at home, and student rent being ridiculous - I have had to suffer without. It's a gorge peachy-pink colour, with a little shimmer, but more subtle than the Orgasm blush. Anyone want to buy me a present?!?

5. O.P.I Bubble Bath
Yes, Yes, Yes... Another pink nail varnish. BUUUT how am I supposed to find the right colour if I don't shop around right?! Again, I'm wanting this to fulfil my need for the perfect full coverage pink. If anyone has tried either Ballet Slippers and/or Bubble Bath please let me know which is best, because at this rate... I will be buying both!

Oh! Lola .. Marc Jacobs review for Cosmo on Campus


So being a University student can at times be a pain... no money being the biggest blag! However, when opportunities come up for STUDENTS ONLY to review new fragrances for Cosmopolitan... it makes being a student a little more worth while!!

The fragrance I was sent (thanks to Cosmo's gorge beauty assistant Cassie Powney) was the new Marc Jacobs Oh! Lola perfume... and I am LOVING it!

Here is a snippet of my review for Cosmopolitan's student spin-off 'Cosmo on Campus' :


It is sweet, fruity and floral, yet a little sexy with the vanilla undertones. Both my sister and my mum have been stealing squirts and I’ve noticed the Oh, Lola! summery scent wafting through the house! The bottle is gorgeous, with a pink peony lid reflecting the fruity floral fragrance… definitely one for the dressing table.
Priced at £37 for 30ml Oh, Lola! isn’t exactly in the ‘student friendly’ price range, however the perfume is super long lasting therefore a small bottle goes a long way. It’s young and flirty, fresh but sexy- I’ll definitely continue to wear it… And hey, what’s a student loan for?!
What's your fave summer scent?
