I refuse to be sick. I'm wearing Valentino, for crying out loud.

The Devil Wears Prada is always one of the first movies I play when I'm sick/hungover/etc. so when I heard that Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt were going head-to-head in 'Lip Sync Battle' I couldn't contain my excitement. Really. As expected, the episode was amazing. I think Anne won, with that show-stopping Wrecking Ball rendition, but Emily was still my favourite! What do you guys think? 

PS- Here is a link to the Buzzfeed Article, if you haven't seen the performances yet what have you been doing?!

€19.99. Yep. So why don't you own this yet? It comes in black and white; Mango saw me coming. I bought both- black I can wear all year round, paired with black opaques and boots, white will make my "tan" pop (should I ever get one). The shorts are longer than usual for playsuits and a slight A-line cut which is very flattering (the French student lifestyle has not been kind to my physique). The cut of the top is a high-neck, with a almost halterneck style. With the banded waist, this playsuit has to be the most flattering and versitile piece I've bought in a while. Did I mention it is €19.99. I don't know what you are waiting for...

Bio-Derma: Deserved Place in every Beauty Bible?

My first priority when I moved to France last August was to get myself to the hallowed halls of a French pharmacy. Top of my shopping list? Bio-Derma, the H.G makeup remover of make-up artists, beauty bloggers and celebrities. Obviously I needed it. For a few months I convinced myself that it lived up to the hype, that it was doing a great job as the first step to remove my makeup, especially after nights out when that burgundy lip-liner came out, or more than one coat of mascara made it onto my lashes. However, now that I am down to the final dregs of the large bottle I bought, I am faced with the decision of whether or not I should repurchase it; and I find myself hesitating.

Yes, it fulfils its purpose. It removes makeup, but not all-even if you use 3/4/5 cotton pads.  I find that my skin has a greasy film when I just use Bio-Derma, and even if I just use it to remove a wing that has gone slightly awry, this is noticeable. As I have sensitive skin and eyes, I am careful about what I use on my face, so I have no complaints in that regard. As a makeup wipe replacement, I can see why people prefer Bio-Derma, as it is more cost effective, but if I am using makeup wipes it is because I am not bothered to take my makeup off, and using Bio-Derma requires more effort for me.

Bio-Derma is great value, and does what it promises to do, but no more. I’m not exactly sure what else I was expecting, but as a cult favourite it just doesn’t deliver. I don’t plan to repurchase, as I would prefer to use an eye-and-lip make-up remover such as the Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips, or just double cleanse my face.

I am very intrigued by the other items in the Bio-Derma skincare range, does anyone have any suggestions?

Fashion Friday #1: Did you know asos has free shipping? SOLD.

                  
                  
                                       So my first forray in to the magical world that is ASOS was 2 weeks ago, when I discoved they had free shipping. FREE SHIPPING. That combined with the amazing sale they had going on means that not one but two orders were placed in not quite as many weeks. I have a problem. Now the only difficulty I am having is that the sizes I order don't quite fit as well as I would like... I ordered 12's in my first order as I thought I'd better be safe, but everything is just that bit big (I am short, and range from an 8 to a 12/14 depending on what I'm buying, but that's another story!). So now I am debating whether to return the items or not but I'm way too lazy.

Above everything is from ASOS apart from the last 2 images which are Topshop. I am loving black and white lately, and I want to stock up on some slightly more interesting basics. I think all of the items above would integrate well into my wardrobe for university and going out! I live in beanies and bought this burgandy one which fits perfectly, nice and slouchy but not too big. I donated my denim shirt to charity when I had a massive clear-out a couple of months ago and have realised I can't live without one, so I am on the hunt for one that doesn't pop open at the chest area when you stretch after napping during a lecture.

Where do you like to shop? What are some of your picks for fall/autumn? I'd love to know!
