Another fortnight has passed and strangely I have enough to scrape together for another installment - hurrah!
Asos Aran Cardigan in Long Line
$62 AUD - shop here ON SALE (at time of post)
I just picked this up the other day for under $45. I absolutely love it. It's a gorgeous length, super soft and warm PLUS it has long sleeves. YESSS! My wrists are already anticipating the snuggly warm winters ahead in this lovely piece.
They seem to have this in a variety of styles (petite, curve, long line, edge to edge). Just do a site search for 'Aran Cardigan'.
Calvin Klein Endless Euphoria
$59+ AUD - shop at assorted department stores and pharmacies.
CK Euphoria is my go-to HG scent, has been for years and years. I tried this one because the bottle was pretty... yes.. I am THAT girl - sorry *hangs head in shame*. Main accords are floral, woody, powdery, rose & citrus. Personally it's probably a little too sweet/summery for what I usually go for - however I have been wearing it a lot more especially as we've just come out of our hot seasons.
Butter London Knackered
$20+ AUD - shop at select department stores or here
This was one of my first BLs, along with Wallis, and it's not one I have used very frequently. Recently I came across a stunning mani of Knackered layered over a vampy berry-purple and I wore the same combo myself. Love at ... second or third sight! Either way love is in the air.
Knackered is a sheer periwinkle base with scattered holo and a soft pink-to-green colourshift overlay. Very delicate and pretty. I would recommend layering unless you have the time to build up 3-4 thin coats for opacity. Keep an eye on online-bargain-bin Ozsale, occasionally you can pick up BL's for under $15.
Kikki.K Assorted Pen 5 pack
$9.95 AUD - shop here
These are my absolute favourite pens. Not only are the designs super duper cute, but they're also that lovely type of ballpoint that has a thick rich black ink without even trying. Glorious.
Their sets change frequently, so generally do a site search for these so you can pick from different designs. I find each pen lasts me at least a month of steady use, probably a little under or to average of a standard pen. However, the quality of ink and cute designs make this an absolute winner for me. I am literally about to buy some more to stock up as soon as I've posted this entry, hehe.
Lush Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar
$6.95 AUD - shop here
No surprise that we have another Lush item this week - Lush is my go-to bath/body/skincare brand and I have many, many HG's. This week it's been cool enough to be able to start having baths again (and I actually did squeal at this, and I possibly ran around like a rowdy elephant gathering the many required bath-things needed for a suitable hour of warm, perfumey & relaxing bliss). Listed as a 'bergamot, lemon and mandarin' scent, I did find this particularly soft and calm. It was an unobtrusive scent that hung around for awhile, but it was quite pleasant. The water went a soft sea green shade which was also kinda fun; I'll definitely be buying this again. Be prepared for more bath items as we head further into our cold seasons.
Shiro Cosmetics Bough of Holly
No price estimate - coming soon to Femme Fatale & Shiro Cosmetics
Part of the recent Christmas release from Shiro, Bough of Holly is a gorgeous candy-cane gloss which is red/green in the tube, and blends out to be a super soft walnut brown sheer gloss with a simply yummy scent to it. I have a review of this, plus this other Shiro holiday glosses here.
I have been using Bough of Holly non-stop for weeks now; it's an absolute HG gloss for me now. I will definitely be getting a backup!
Thank you for reading! x
