Victoria's Secret

On a recent trip to London I found myself outside the infamous Victoria's Secret store.

I genuinely stumbled across this and had no idea it was even where it was, but obviously as soon as I realised I was outside it I knew I needed to go in.

And as soon as I was in I knew I was parting with some cash....

The store itself is beautifully designed, with lots of pink as expected!

The chandeliers are amazing and there are plenty of mannequins displaying products, some of them are outstanding and I certainly spent a lot of time wishing I owned them let alone the body needed to show them off!





I loved this skirt, I'd absolutely love to own one of these. I don't even know what I'd do with it but just to lounge around the house in when I felt it was necessary.

One of the stand out parts of the store was the massive screen at the back of the store spreading over all 4 floors. Seeing shots of the beautiful Rosie Huntington Whitely made me feel a tad depressed, I mean just look at her amazing body! She is stunning.











If I ever work out to the point of having a body like these women, I will be buying myself a whole new wardrobe of underwear to reward myself!

If only having a washboard stomach was as easy as I wished it was.

Another floor of the shop had slightly different decor, lots more pink and pink drawers filled with knickers in every colour imagineable. This was where I found my purchases....

The only disappointment for me was that I couldn't find any bras in my size at all. I might have been tempted by a set if I'd seen my size available but as a 34E I had no chance.

So...onto the items that I did buy! After seeing an offer where 3 knickers were on offer for £27 I couldn't resist. This meant that each item was £9 which is pretty steep really, but as a one off I won't be judging myself too harshly ;)

The knickers I picked up were all the same style and are your typical knicker style, bit of a lace on the sides and low rise. I find these the most comfortable and flattering for almost every occasion and have so many different colours!

I chose a navy, a grey and a pale pink coloured variety. I could easily have chosen loads of different colours and patterns but had to restrain myself.

The pale pink ones are the prettiest, they have white lace around the edges and a gold polka dot pattern on the sides:

I love the back with the lace details! They're perfect for being girly when you're on a 'pretty' day, I'm sure you all know what I mean!

The navy ones are beautiful too and plain but simple:

The lace panels on the side are my favourites, and I bought the dove grey colour to finalise my 3 pairs:

I have been wearing them the past few weeks and can confirm that they are so comfortable and have enough stretch for movement but they don't give and sag after a few washes which is the best kind of stretch!

I loved that they also came wrapped up in beautiful tissue paper, I'd be quite tempted to use this as a background for multiple things. Expect to see it in future posts for product photos ;)

Or maybe as a new background for my computer?!
It's too pretty to just exist as a file or sheet of paper!

What do you think of Victoria's Secret? Do you think its worth the hype and the price tag?

They have a HUGE range, not only underwear but nightwear and loungewear and a monumental toiletry range that I had to avoid like the plague for fear of maxing out my credit card and bankrupting myself!

I'd love to go back another time when I have a little more cash to my name (new cars are expensive!) and have a proper wander and spree. 

What would you recommend as your favourite product from VS?

Review: Sleek Blush by 3 Lace

When these were first realised I was instantly drawn to this palette. I thought it had the best selection of colours, but never got around to picking it up or even looking at them in Superdrug until a few weeks back when I went shopping with L. We are the worst influence on each other and always spend a fortune when we just meet to 'window' shop. You can see what other bit's I picked up here.

Who doesn't love a boxed product. Always makes it feel a little more luxurious. For £10 for 3 blush these palettes are such good value and you get a large amount of each shade too. Lace is out of stock online, but they still have the others. Found here. They still had them in my local superdrug but all the blush by 3 palettes were in the draws and not out on display. How annoying.

This is my first sleek product. How pretty is the packaging, textured black and the sleek logo simply printed in a shiny black. My love for the slightly rubberised black packaging of course didn't last long as similar to products such as Nars mine is now covered in my foundation finger prints, ooops.

They have the shades printed on the back but don't seem to stock the shades separately. I thought I'd instantly use the middle shade first as it was similar to Sleek's Rose Gold blush that never seems to be in stock in Superdrug (do you find the sleek stands poorly stocked around you aswell?

So here are the shades. In the pan they scared me, swatched they scared me. Blended I love them. These blushes are so pigmented you only need the smallest amount. They blend so easily. I find they do break up slightly with my brush so I find it best to just lightly dab my brush into the selected colour rather than sweep it across and end up with powder and a brush with way to much product.

Photo heavy section, as you can see the colours come out so bright so if you like a bright blush look no further or they can be blended for a softer look. I can honestly say I have used this blush every single day since I picked it up. I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. The colours are so wearable, so easy to blend and just look so pretty on. I find myself using the orange more than the others, something I didn't expect. I'm definitely not normally an orange blush girl but it gives a pretty flush. The middle shimmer shade is a very shimmery blush so I tend to use this one more as a highlight if I'm not using my MAC one. The red shade blends to a gorgeous winter flush on the skin, think English rose.

I cannot praise this product enough. I can't see me looking at other blushes for a while. They are amazing and they will definitely last me a while too.

Have you tried any of the Blush by 3 sets? I'm considering getting a second, any recommendations?

Love M
