J'adore Monaco, Cannes, et Nice! (Travel with Me)

As I mentioned in my 'Summer Anthems' post, I just got back from the South-Of-France last week and I couldn't refrain from showing you guys the beauty of the French Riviera! It is so beautiful and pictures and words will never do it justice, but we can try!

I stayed there for a total of 6 nights and just fell in with the three cities that I visited. I used Nice as a base and travelled to Monaco and Cannes by train as a day trip. Travel with me through the South-of-France through some of the photos I took.

Can I just say that WiFi on planes is like the best thing since sliced bread.

This trip was unforgettable and I would definitely want to visit again in the future. Places like Monaco and Cannes are those cities where you only need to stay for 2 days but it was amazing and I look forward to going again in the future.

KORRES Skin Care Products

KORRES is a Greek skin-care company with a wide range of different products and collections. I have heard a lot about their products and they always receive positive reviews so I thought I would try a couple of their products. I bought the '24-Hour Moisturising & Brightening Cream' for Normal/Dry Skin combination although my skin is not dry. You can put this on as a day or night cream, but I prefer to put it on at night so my skin can really benefit from it, as during the day I may do make-up.

 I also bought the 'brightening & line-smoothing serum' which I also put on at night because I feel it is really important to use ageing creams no matter what age you are. I am only 19 but I can notice, the small and thin lines at the corners of my eyes which I want to work to reduce and eliminate from now. Girls, if it aint broke, fix it before it is! 

I have only been using these products for two days so I can't comment on their long lasting effects but, I have noticed that the moisturiser leaves my skin feeling very soft and hydrated. I don't know if it's just my brain trying to convince me they work, but, I have also noticed my skin looks more illuminated so I am very optimistic. 

The cream and serum are only lightly scented with a slight floral smell (they are from the Wild Rose collection), and they apply in a light consistency so you don't feel uncomfortable or caked in creams. The moisturiser leaves a dewy finish after application so you could also use it before applying make-up too. So far, I would recommend them to buy but I will keep you guys updated.   

ZARA Perfumes Review (& DUPES)

Via Omnify

I am a big fan of Zara and as most of you will know, they do a rather big fragrance range that includes a varying range of scents. I have to admit I am also a big fan of their perfumes because they smell great and the price is really good for the amount you are buying. I thought I would share my thoughts on three perfumes I have purchased from Zara over the last few months. 

BLACK AMBER

Black Amber has to be my most favourite perfume from Zara because it smells so great. The scent of this perfume has similar tones of Dolce & Gabanna's 'The One' but perhaps a slightly sweeter version. Those closest to me will know that 'The One' is my favourite perfume so this is a perfect cheaper dupe for the D&G. I don't know about you but when I buy expensive perfumes, I don't like to use it a lot or everyday because I am a 'washer' when it comes to perfumes, i.e. I practically wash myself when putting on perfume! I have a weird thing, where I want my fragrance to be smelt by others when I'm walking around. (Weird, I know.) So being a 'washer', I don't want to be paying over £60 every few months to stock up on perfume, which is why I don't like to use my expensive perfumes all the time. However, this Zara perfume not only smells amazing but is only £9.99. I am on my third bottle because it is my everyday go-to perfume and I also love the fact it is quite long-lasting. It definitely lasts a few hours which is great for the price. Plus, it comes with a cute roll-on perfume, which is perfect to put in your bag and take with you wherever you go. This is really handy when your at uni/college or simply out and about and want to quickly and subtly top up your perfume. 

ZARA WHITE

The next perfume from Zara that I just got is called 'White' which is part of a collection of fragrances that are all named after colours. Some colours have sweet tones while some, like 'White', have muskier tones. They come in two sizes, the bigger size which I think is 70ml (£7.99), and a smaller 30 ml bottle (£4.99). I really love the scent of 'White' because it is different to a lot of the popular scents we have at the moment. The size and the price that you pay, I feel, is an absolute steal. Like I mentioned, the scent has musky and earthy tones which creates a very alluring fragrance. I am in love with this perfume but I would say that it doesn't last as long as Black Amber. Having said that, for the price you pay it still lasts for an hour or so which is acceptable, in my opinion. Zara 'White' is definitely a good and affordable dupe of Lancome's 'Miracle' fragrance, which I absolutely love. 

SILK

Finally, we have reached the third Zara perfume I have tried and tested. 'Silk' is a very light perfume that has floral high notes but I wouldn't say it is a sweet floral scent. I love the smell of this perfume and again, the price of it was just £9,99. I am not completely sure if they still sell this perfume in Zara stores but if they do I would recommend they adjust a few things. The downfall of this fragrance is its lightness, it doesn't last at all! It is only obviously smelt for about 5 minutes and then fades into nothingness, 10 if you are lucky and indoors! I have put a generous amount of this perfume on while being out and I can honestly say that the scent disappeared within 5-10 minutes. Although, the price is not that much, Zara have perfumes of the same price that last a lot longer, such as Black Amber. It's a shame because the fragrance really is very beautiful but I wouldn't purchase this again.
