Patricia Eve Bikini Review & Giveaway!

I have had my blog for about two years now, and I can truly say its been an amazing journey, talking to some amazing bloggers, followers and companies. And today is another milestone in my blogging journey, as today marks the day of my first ever blog giveaway!

I will be doing more giveaways this year, so follow me to keep updated with those!

 

The product I will be giving away is a beautiful bikini, from a company called Patricia Eve, you can check out the Patricia Eve website by clicking here

Anyone looking to buy from Patricia Eve can visit the website and look up what stockists are local or nearest to you.

 

The brand of this bikini is called David Swimwear and they do luxurious swimwear suitable for anyone who loves a good splash in the pool, a peaceful holiday away or just a lay on the beach to top up your tan! 

 

 

 

 

I fell in love with this two piece as soon as I opened the package up, the blue and white colours are very striking, with hints of gold dots in some areas. The bow in the middle of the bikini top adds some detail but not to much to overpower the main pattern, very pretty!

The size of this bikini is a size 12, there is no official cup size, however I would say it would fit anyone from a cup size C - D, and the pants, a size 10 - 12.

This marvellous bikini has extra padding in the bikini top (which is removable), which helps if the top is a little bit on the big side, it will fill the cup out more and also give you an enhanced cleavage (Yay).

 

 

The material of this bikini feels great and I can defiantly tell that this bikini was made with comfort in mind.

The gold fastening for the bikini top compliments the gold dots that appear on the two piece and is a lot more appealing than a plain, plastic hook fasten. The straps are adjustable, which is always a must for me when shopping for anything from bikini's to bras.

 

I was debating whether to keep this bikini for myself, as it is sooo beautiful and just my sort of style, however, I do not go abroad and cannot swim very well, therefore, I thought it would make more sense to give it over to someone who would get more use of it, as its to pretty to sit in my wardrobe gathering dust! I know its also a bit early to be giving away something that is more likely to be worn during summertime but I couldn't wait any longer, plus if anyone has a holiday coming up, this bikini would be perfect for your suitcase!

 

So, onto the exciting part, the giveaway!

Emozioni Hot Diamonds | Necklace Review

Good afternoon, today I have a short review for you all featuring a jewellery range by the name of Emozioni. I was very lucky to win one of there much loved necklace pieces via Twitter, it was part of a halloween competition and I was that impressed with my necklace I needed to review it to show you all how great quality these necklaces are. 

 

 

These Emozioni necklaces consist of 3 seperate pieces: the coin, the coin keeper and the chain. 

The coin keeper is what keeps the coin in place, as well as adding some modern detail to the whole look. The coin you could argue acts a bit like the charms you collect on a pandora bracelet, except they are kept inside the coin keeper rather than hanging down. The coins come in all different styles, patterns and colours and can be collectable, making these necklaces great as presents! The chain is pretty straight forward, it's what you will hang your coin keeper from, and yet again they come in all different lengths, colours and designs. As I won a competition, I didn't get to choose out of everything on there website, there were two coins up for grabs which I could choose from and luckily enough I loved them both, making it hard for me to choose, after deciding I went for the faux snake skin coin as I thought it was very different and unique to the others I had seen on various bloggers and customers. I was then asked if I wanted a black/grey, silver or rose gold coin keeper, after changing my mind twice, I went for the rose gold one and therefore they asked me if I wanted the rose gold chain to match and I said yes. There online customer service was a 10/10 and they were very friendly and helpful when helping me choose my items. I got my prize in the post two days after, everything was packaged very carefully. I put my necklace together and my god, I fell in love with my necklace right away, I couldn't be more impressed with it! I can defiantly say I will be collecting some more coins over time to add to my collection, which brings me to the point of the box I recieved to; I recieved a box which I can sit my coins in as I collect them so they are all in one place, what a neat idea.

 

 

Over all I couldn't be more happier with my prize, and would like to thank the wonderful staff over on the Emozioni Twitter page for being such lovely people. If you would like to take a look at all the items they have to offer then please click HERE to be taken to the page.

Thank you for reading, have a great afternoon.

Sweet Theatre chocolate | Review

Sweet theatre is a luxurious chocolate brand sold in the ever so famous Harvey Nichols! 

                       

I was lucky enough to win a hamper containing these chocolate bars to try out myself, let's just say there's not a crumb of chocolate left! I fell in love with these 70g choccie bars, because of there utterly stunning packaging. What I realised when I received my chocolate hamper in the post, was the reason why the brand is called 'Sweet Theatre', each bar has a lovely female illustration on the front in the style of watercolours (very classy), but when I turned over the bars, each bar was titled in the name of a Shakespeare play. The female illustrations on the front are different female characters from seperate Shakespeare plays such as the most famous 'Romeo and Juliet'.

I would rate these chocolates a 10/10 for packaging presentation, taste and quality. These value at £3.50 each, which is pricey for a chocolate bar, however they are so worth the £3.50 and I would defiantly purchase again. My favourite flavour was the milk chocolate bar, tasting delicious and very creamy, I could just eat another bar just thinking of these bars!

If you fancy having a try of these bars, feel free to have a browse at all the scrumptious bars they have to offer but click the link here: http://www.harveynichols.com/brand/sweet-theatre/

Thankyou for reading.

Sunglassjunkie.com

Afternoon ladies and gents! Just a quick shout out to the amazing people at Sunglassjunkie.com for sending me some beautiful sunnies from a competition I won on their twitter account. I got to choose any pair I wanted and I went for a lovely pair which are a very light clear pink around the frame and you could class them as being oversized, they are also available in a nude colour. I tried them on, they came in a box and then in the box the sunglasses were protected in their own fabric bag for you to keep for them to stay protected when your not wearing them and then I got two booklets about the company etc. When I tried them on they fit perfectly and are such good quality. I really like them and they will come in handy during this sunny and gorgeous weather.

Cost: £18.00

 

Here are two pictures of what they look like on:

Maryjanefashion.com | Two piece

Hi everyone, sorry it's been a while, life has been hectic at the moment. Today I have a review which needed to be shared with you all as I am in love with a two piece I won from Mary Jane Fashion over on Facebook. 

                       

This is the two piece I recieved and it could not have fit any better, this two piece comes in size S/M or M/L and I chose the smallest size because my sister said 'if it doesn't fit you I can have it'. Anyway it fits brilliantly and it's so flattering, the skort even fits my 12 year old sister who is pretty skinny! The floral print is beautiful and so classy compared to other prints I have seen around. I was abit sceptical at first as crop tops like the one above need to fit pretty well for it to look good and me being a size 8-10 (UK) fit into the top fine, however if you have a cup size that is bigger than D I would get the top in a M/L because it is a tiny bit tight on me due to my chest size but I can work with it, it's not to tight that it doesn't fit but I would recommend thinking about that when looking at this particular brand. 

After trying this on I will deffinatly keep this brand in mind if I ever need more summer clothes, I give this brand a 10/10 for fast delivery and quality.

Have a great weekend. 

Beneco's lipgloss| Flamingo

Hi girls, so the other day I won a giveaway on twitter and I won a beautiful lipgloss by a brand called Beneco's which I had heard of previously but never owned any of there products.

I was so excited to try out this product and it didn't fail to amaze me!

 

So here is a picture of the lipgloss I won which is called Flamingo. The smell of this is out of this world! It smells like strawberry bubble gum or as my sister would say 'fruity', and the best part of this brand is that they are cruelty free YEYYYY!

 

 

This lipgloss is perfect for me as I hate lipglosses that give off a sticky texture and are extremly thick where as this particular one applies a thin layer and is very pigmented for a lipgloss. The colour however is almost coral but more pink.

 

 

Above is the swatches of the lipgloss, the first swatch is what the lipgloss looks like when applied thickly and the other swatch is a more thin layer, however both look really pretty.

 

I have not worn this lipgloss enough to do a massive review so im affraid this is all I have for now!

Hey Errrrrrrrrrr body!

I am very excited to share with you a prize I won in a giveaway on twitter with BeautyBay.com. They were holding a giveaway for 20 lucky winners to receive the Autumn Winter Collection from Nails Inc. This collection involved four nail polishes in dark winter colours.

 

So how did I enter?

I had to paint my nails however I wanted then take a picture with the hashtag #ShowUsYourNails and then send the picture to Beauty Bay's twitter. I thought nothing of it as there were so many amazing nail designs from other entries I seriously thought there was no chance in my winning BUT I DID! But my 12 year old sister actually did my nails for me so she was very proud that we won!

 

Here is a picture of my entry photo..

 

I did a very simple design/ well my sister did.

 

And this was my prize..

There are four beautiful colours including:

St Martin Lane (The vibrant purple colour)

Old Bond Street (The blue colour)

Regent Street (The darkest purple)

Oxford Street (The brown colour)

 

I haven't tried these polishes out yet but I will be sure to keep you informed whenever I use them (Hopefully soon)

Amelia-May midi ring review

                         

Amelia-May is a website in which they sell accessories, they sell a variety of midi/knuckle rings which are so pretty and afordable. The ring I have in this picture costs only £9.50. All there jewelry is hand made which makes every peice even more special. At the moment they are having a 30% off deal if you are interested you need to enter the code sale30 at the checkout which makes this ring even cheaper and you will also get free delivery if you spend £20. 

This ring is called the Silver Mini Ankh Knuckle ring with stone, it is also available in gold which is also a lovely colour. 

So what's my opinion on this ring?

This is my first time I've ever received a product from Amelia-May and I can defiantly say that I may be purchasing more rings from them in the future and I also want to try out their earrings. There are so many rings from their site that interest me and suit my style, below I will add some pictures of some of my other faveorite rings. The ring in the photo on the website looked a lot bigger than it does once you see it for real which I am pleased with as with knuckle rings I like them to be small and not chunky. I got the size small, the smallest size fits on my finger perfect so I would advise anyone with skinny fingers to go for small when purchasing this ring. Overall I am very impressed with this ring and would recommend this website to anyone who loves handmade jewelry. 

Here are a few of my other faveorite items from Amelia-May:
