Timeless Truth Luxury Face Masks | Review

Good morning!!!!

Sorry I have not been as active on my blog lately, I finally found myself a new job after being very depressed at my old work place from being treated like muck, so I have been focusing on that for a week or so, but now I have three days off and at last I can sit down with a brew and share with you my latest review..

The brand I am reviewing today is a skin care brand called 'Timeless Truth'.
Timeless Truth create a wide range of face masks which have different purposes and help to improve different types of skin problems, and this is the mask I went for..


It was really hard to get a clear picture of the packaging, however I chose the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask. The name of this mask caught my attention straight away as I have very fair skin which can sometimes make my skin look lifeless and dull so this sounded like the perfect match for me!

About the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask:
The bamboo charcoal extract in this mask is highly absorbent and has a deep cleansing effect. This mask helps to brighten, smoothe and hydrate the skin, it is also good for congested skin.

Congested skin - 'Skin with large pores and blackheads'.

This mask retails for £4.90 which is a bargain!


Please excuse my poor attempt of applying this mask!

This is what the masks looks like once applied to the face, this mask smelt soooooo good!
I was really impressed with the amount of serum that was in the packet, this is always good in case you want to add extra serum onto the face before applying the mask, obviously that meant that the mask also had a lot of serum soaked into it but not to the extent where it made my skin feel sticky.
This mask felt great on my skin, some cloth masks I've tried have felt awful on the skin but this cloth was so thin it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The mask was easy to apply and stayed on my face instead of peeling off which I thought may of happened but I was proven wrong, I could tell this was a good quality mask as soon as I applied it.

I left the mask on for about 15 minutes whilst I had a soak in the bath, the whole time I wore the mask my skin felt so refreshing.
The serum washed off really easy once I removed the cloth mask, my skin felt so hydrated once I had washed off any excess product.
Now I know your not going to see improvement by using these masks only once but I must say my skin looked glowing once dry, I normally have a bit of dry skin on areas of my face but this took all that away!

I would honestly use these masks once a week and I guarantee my skin would improve in no time!

If you would like to get your hands on one of these masks you can check out the Timeless Truth website by clicking HERE

Thank you so much for reading my post.
I hope you all have a fab week!

OK Bouquet | Review

If you haven't heard of OK Bouquet, they are an online florist - they deliver luxurious bouquets throughout the UK.
They guarantee next day delivery which is really impressive as well as being handy for anyone ordering a bouquet to be delivered to a loved one on time for a special occasion.

OK Bouquet have a wide selection of bouquets on their website over at - okbouquet.com
Prices vary for all bouquets therefore they are affordable for anyone whether you are on a budget or want the dearest bunch out there!

I was extremely lucky to be sent a bouquet of my choice from the lovely team at OK Bouquet. It didn't take long for me to decided which bouquet I wanted out of their huge selection.
I had my eye on these stunning roses that I knew I had to have!

Their bouquets are truly stunning and are beautifully packaged and delivered safely, on time and in one piece - what more could you want?!

I chose the Premium Black Baccara Long Stem Roses, which I thought looked so unique and unlike any roses I have seen before.
I learnt that black roses are often associated with magic, mystery, rebirth and new beginnings, a fun fact for you all! :-)

These roses are priced at £40 for 1 dozen roses or £75 for 2 dozen roses, you also get to chose from a variety of foliage to go with your flowers which is included in the price.
Before my bouquet arrived I thought that the prices were way to high but now I have seen these precious roses in the flesh I can totally understand the prices.
They are so worth the money you pay, they are such high quality compared to the cheap bunches you pick up at supermarkets.


This is how the flowers were when I opened the parcel, which by the way was a huge box which is great as the flowers aren't squished in small packaging. They were arranged beautifully, you can really tell this company has a huge passion for what they do and take care to make each bouquet unique. 

I know by the name of these 'black' roses, people expect them to be pure black however they are red but with an extremely dark tone to them, making them look almost black. The colour of these roses look different under different
lighting, for example if I display them in the window, the light reflects on them, making them appear more red. If I put them in a place with no light they look a lot more darker, either way they still look heavenly.

On the website the description explains that the rose petals are 'velvety' and that couldn't be anymore accurate. These petals feel incredible, so soft and the colour of the petals against the velvety texture is exquisite.


When I first opened up the box, I found that around one of the rose stems was the greetings card that you can personalise with your own words.




I had a lovely note on my card from the company which I thought was so sweet.
Also another thing I noticed was that also attached to the string was more card with care instructions and tips on which I think is really handy as that's not something I come across a lot, if at all when I purchase bouquets.

My mum helped me arrange my flowers into a vase (your never to old for help off your mother)!
When we took the bouquet out of the box there was a compartment which the bottom of the stems were placed in to keep them fresh whilst in the packaging.
When placed in the vase they looked so stunning I was blown away!
Here they are in the vase, arranged very nicely by my mother...


We took them outside to arrange in the garden so you could see the true colour of these roses in natural lighting.


I decided to keep them in the living room to save them being destroyed by insects or even being stolen which wouldn't surprise me as they are so beautiful after all!
They look fab in my living room under the window and today (two days later) they still look like new.
I will be intrigued to see how long these flowers last, hopefully a long time!

This company is absolutely fab and a true 10/10!

I recommend anyone to look into this company and check out their website, these bouquets would make fantastic gifts for any occasion or even just to treat yourself, go on I know you want to ;-)

Thank you for reading, I hope you all have a fab weekend.
Speak soon ladies!

Glo & Ray | Date Night Makeup Look

Hi everyone, hope your all having a great week, glad to be back with another makeup look to share with you.

As we all know Valentine's Day has just passed and I hope you all had a great day, whether you spent it with your partner or your loved ones, I was single for Valentine's Day so it was a lonely one for me, however I spent some much needed quality time with my family so it was still a great day overall!

I wanted to create a makeup look dedicated to Valentine's Day, however as that special occasion has already passed I thought it would be just as good to create a date night look.

I was sent over some goodies from Glo & Ray who are a British Cosmetics Company who make a phenomenal range of makeup suitable for everyone and anyone!


I previously worked with Glo & Ray back in summer last year ( Balloon Pop Review ) and I just love this company, the team are so friendly and really believe in my work which makes me so thankful and blessed, so thank you team G&R :-) !!!

The first product I have been loving is the Mariposa Quartet Eyeshadow Quad in 'Golden Dunes'. This eye palette consists of four vibrant, neutral, shimmer shades which illuminate the eyes.
These eye shadows are long lasting and smudge proof so you don't need to worry about having to top up your makeup half way through the day!
There are so many eye looks you can create with this palette as well as mixing the eyeshadows together to create your own unique shade.


I then used the Lasting Silky Eyeliner in the shade 303 - 'Golden Age',a stunning, shimmery bronze liner which is so pigmented and makes your eyes pop, giving them a smoky effect at the same time! This is probably my favourite eyeliner that I own now, I have used Glo & Ray eyeliners in the past and all of them stay put and don't move or smudge like most eyeliners I've tried and tested.
This eyeliner really is 'Lasting' as it says in the name.

These products worked perfectly for my date night look and I normally am never 100% satisfied with my makeup but by using these products they gave me the confidence I needed to finally believe that I looked beautiful.

And here is the final look..


I used eyeliner to add to my bronzed eye makeup, I wanted a dramatic eye with a nude, toned down lip. I think by creating a dramatic eye look with a nude lip drew all the attention to the eyes which is what I was trying to achieve.


I really enjoyed experimenting with these two products and working with Glo & Ray for a second time!

If you would like to try out these products for yourself to see the amazing results I saw then you can find them over on the Glo & Ray website by clicking HERE.

Thank you for reading.
See you soon for more beauty posts.

Studio 10 | Skin Perfecting Palettes

 Hi everyone, so glad to be back at my computer desk, working on another blog piece to share with all my lovely followers..
 
Todays brand im going to be talking about is called Studio 10, who focus on an innovative range of age perfecting makeup products that are created to help give women the ability to look more youthful and feel more confident in their own skin.
 
Although this brand aims their products at women aged 30+, they still have other amazing products suitable for anyone of any age, and I was lucky enough to be sent two palettes to try out myself.
 
I received the Age Defy Skin Perfector palette and the Visible Lift I-Definer palette, both of these palettes cost £32 each from the Studio 10 website (CLICK HERE).
 
I used both palettes for my face even though the I-Definer palette is created for the eyes, the products also work great to contour and highlight the face, so its a win win!
 
Age Defy Skin Perfector palette
 
 
I am in LOVE with this palette, it is my go-to palette for prepping my face for foundation, there are multiple products in this palette which help certain problems with my skin, the green corrector I use for my red patches on my skin which I sometimes get, especially during bad skin break outs and under my eyes, the two concealers are so thick and creamy and give a really impressive coverage, however the second concealer in this palette is way to dark for my skin tone but the first one is perfect so as you can see from the photo I am defiantly getting some good use out of that one.
 
Although you don't get a massive amount of each product in this palette, you don't need to as a little goes a long way with these products, I've had these palettes for about two months and I use them daily and still haven't hit the pan yet!
 
10 out of 10 from me and would highly recommend investing in this palette to see how good it is for yourself :-)
 
Visible Lift I-Define palette
 
 
I like this palette as all the products can be used for multiple purposes, I use a lot of these products daily such as using the neutralise powder to set my under eye concealer and the highlighter to highlight under my brow bone to create a sharp, clean finish to my eye makeup.
 
I am not as in love with this palette as I am with the Skin Perfector palette, however it is perfect for anyone who prefers to use powder makeup rather than creams or liquids and due to my dry skin, I find that liquids work better with me.
 
This palette for me personally is only a 5/10 as I believe it would benefit the older range of women more.
 
So, want to see the results from these palettes..
 
 
As you can see the products from the Skin Perfector palette have blended like a dream and covered all my imperfections as well as any dark areas. Super impressed with the results and I don't look half dead anymore, yayyyyyyy!
 
 
I finished my makeup and look.. zero imperfections!
 
Even if you didn't want to create a dramatic makeup look you could still use the products in the two palettes to cover up any blemishes that you may want to hide, you wouldn't even have to apply foundation over the top if you were going for a more natural look. Studio 10 products are suitable for any women wanting to create any look.
 
Thank you to Studio 10 for letting me experiment with your fantastic products & thank you to my followers for reading, hope you enjoyed.
 
See you soon!
Lots of love.

Fragrance Direct Haul

Happy Sunday everyone!
 
Today I have a haul for you, from an online store called Fragrance Direct, which I'm sure a lot of people have heard of before.
I had heard of Fragrance Direct previously but never decided to check out there website until now, and I was so surprised at how low prices were! Fragrance Direct to me, sounded expensive and I didn't even know they did makeup until I came across there twitter account. Basically.. Fragrance Direct sell high quality makeup, skin care, hair care, body care and of course fragrances, but at unbelievable prices, that are affordable for everyone!
 
I had to pick up a few bargains myself and I was very happy to find when I went to checkout that my order had only come to an impressive £18.99 including shipping at only £1.99 (5-7 days), now that's awesome!
 
I purchased a lot of lip products as well as two Nip and Fab goodies, which included the Nip and Fab CC Face Cream (£3.99) and CC Eye Fix Cream (£3.50). I am in LOVE with the CC Face Cream as it is tinted, therefore can be used as a foundation, it also gives a medium coverage which is great to cover up breakouts and the CC Eye Fix Cream goes great with it. They had the shade 'Light', which goes perfect with my pale complexion. Although I was pleasantly pleased with these products, I am not including them in this post as it would be pages long and probably get super boring, however I may review them in a separate post.
 
On to the lip products..
I went a little crazy on lip products and trust me, if it wasn't for my cheap ways, I would have bought the whole shop!
 

Anyone who knows me will know that lipsticks are my absolute obsession, I collect them whenever I can find a great deal on them!
I was intrigued to try out the Rimmel London Kate Moss lipsticks, as so many people have raved about these products and I now know why, they are super duper creamy and soft on the lips and the shades are beautiful (AND THEY WERE £1.99 EACH)!!!!
 
I also wanted to try the Loreal Colour Riche lipsticks but only decided to get one as these were £2.50 each, still mega cheap though! The reason I wanted to try one of these was because I loved the very modern and classy packaging, I knew the product itself would be top quality and it really is. This lipstick glides on like a dream and is so creamy and very pigmented.
 
 
I am a huge fan of Tanya Burr and when it saw her lip glosses on sale for £1.99 each, I could have cried I was that excited, I only decided to get one for now, just to try out and then if this lip gloss beats my expectations, I will go and possibly purchase every colour available! I love this shade, its a nude colour with the tiniest sparkles of shimmer in, but not to much that your lips look like a disco ball, very classy, very Tanya Burr!
 
The Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Laquers were also on sale for £1.99 and I'm pretty sure they're about £4-£5 in my local drugstores. I never understood why everybody loved these lip laquers, I thought they were just tinted lip glosses, but oh my god, I was so wrong; they are basically a lip paint and are indeed pigmented that you only need a one layer. I chose the shade Across The Universe and this is the brightest red lip product I now own, these are incredible, I highly recommend them!
 
So, I bet your all wondering what they look like on..
 
 
TOP TO BOTTOM:
Rimmel Kate Moss - 26
Rimmel Kate Moss - 19
Loreal Colour Riche - Cherry Crush
Tanya Burr Lip gloss - Champagne Toast
Rimmel Apocalips - Across The Universe

 
 How beautiful do they all look! And the best thing is, I saved a fortune by not paying the drugstore prices.

Everybody needs to go and check out Fragrance Direct and treat yourself to some goodies, there's something for everyone!

Thank you for reading.
Have a great day.

NYC All Day Long Smooth Skin Foundation | Review

Hi there, sorry its been a week or two since I last posted, I've been so busy as I recently have landed myself an amazing apprenticeship and have been there and back doing training, interviews and paperwork, therefore its been hard to fit my blogging in; but now I have the rest of the week free to relax and do what I love doing best, blogging!
Today I have a review from the brand called NYC, they are a cosmetics brand and can be seen in drugstores such as Superdrug and Boots. I have only recently been trying out products from NYC, and as I've been so impressed with there products, I though I would try out a foundation! There is a market stall in my local festival market that sells makeup and they sell products which are maybe from an old collection or line, at cheap prices! I recently bought a foundation which I thought I would give a go as, A: It was only £3.99 and B: the shade looked quite light for my pale skin tone.

The foundation I bought was the NYC all day long foundation in the shade Classic Ivory. In stores or online, I never ever ever ever find foundations which are light enough for my skin, they just don't exist, so when I saw how light this foundation looked, I picked it up straight away and it suits my skin colour so much better than any other foundation I have tried (the shade looks a lot lighter in person, compared to the photo above).


You can see from the swatches above how light the shade is against my skin, I never have any hope that I will find a foundation light enough for me, but this foundation has proved me wrong!
The texture of the foundation is just right, its not to runny and blends in well, but not as well as I would like it to, however that's not much of a problem for me.


This is the finished look..
As you can see this foundation leaves a very smooth, clean look to my skin and does not look to orange, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Although I am impressed with this product, there are a few bad points to make, however don't let this put you off this foundation as there all points you can look past:
1. This product doesn't smell great, it smells like a cheap £1 foundation that I use to buy when I was younger and had £1 pocket money, but once the product is on, the smell goes away.
2. The coverage is quite light, unless you build on top of it, which is possible as its such a light shade it doesn't make you look orange or cakey.
That is more or less it for the negatives but overall I love this product and would rate it a 8/10 but 10/10 for the shade.

(I am also wearing an NYC lip liner all over my lips, in the shade Naughty Nude).

I hope you enjoyed this post, please let me know what foundations you are loving, and that are affordable as I always love a good beauty bargain!

Have an amazing week, and speak soon!

PARCEL GENIE ~ Win/Review

Hi everyone, I have a quick post for you all, as I won £5 credit on Twitter for an app called Parcel Genie. I normally don't blog a great deal about food or sweets but I'm so impressed with this app that I have to recommend it to you!
 
How does the app work?
Its pretty simple, you download the app and select a gift from the list of goodies, you can send a gift to someone else's address or treat yourself, but I would highly recommend this app for occasions such as birthdays and celebrations! Once you have selected the gift you can add a personal message onto a card of your choice (different designs to choose from), then you enter your friends number, which they will then get a text saying you are sending them a gift, they then reply FOR FREE with their address for the gift to be sent to them. Another way is to enter the persons address yourself, if you know it. Then the gift will be delivered, hand wrapped with your note inside. Its that simple!
 


 
I am super impressed with this app, I sent my sister a gift and it arrived the day after, with free postage to! It was great timing as my sister had just finished parents evening so as a treat I surprised her with the gift. The gift was sent to my address as my sister lives with me, so I knew it had arrived. My sister loved the little treat I gave her, and even my mum was amazed.
I then showed my mum the app and she said it will come in handy for future gifts, therefore I am keeping the app on my iPad and I'm sure it will be used again! The prices of each gift is amazing, from the gifts I looked at, prices were no higher than £6 maybe £7, I cant quite remember, but they were super cheap.
 
The packaging is very nice, as a gift.. your friend, mother, father, brother, sister, partner, would be very impressed.
I give this app a 10/10.
I don't normally tend to buy from apps as I find it easier to use the internet, but this app couldn't be more easier to use!
 
If you would like to give this app a go, then download the app, or click here where you can be taken to their website and download it from there.
 
I hope you enjoyed my mini review.
Speak soon.

Motel 'New In' Wishlist

I have recently discovered the 'New In' section on www.motelrocks.com and oh my sweet Jesus, I am obsessed! I have always been a big fan of Motel Rocks, as they have such a wide variety of clothing, shoes, accessories, anything to feed your fashion minds; however, there range of clothing has blown my mind recently, with more patterns, colours and prints than ever! So before I ramble on even more, lets just get straight into the exciting part.. my top picks from the 'New In' section, which you all must check out - here
 
 

 
(Starting from the left)
Click on the clothing description to be taken to that exact item on the Motel Rocks website.
 
Motel Girly Skater Dress in Floral Blue White - £45 - This dress is so perfect for summer 2015, whether your having a chilled one at home, or going on a luxury holiday, you cant go wrong with a pretty floral dress. The colour palette within the floral print is stunning and something a bit different to your normal floral colours (pink, cream, red), this dress would catch a lot of attention!
 
I love this next set, however you do have to buy the two pieces separately, the two pieces are - Motel Bessie Bandeau Crop Top in X Ray Floral - £18 and the Motel Cecile High Waisted Culotte in X Ray Floral - £35 I am not normally the biggest fan of sunflower prints, but I love the edgy take on this two piece.. BLUE SUNFLOWERS! The top is great to show off your gorgeous figure, but then the skirt adds a hint of class to the outfit, I believe in the saying 'its either legs or boobs, not both', and I learnt that through my 'back in the days, fashion mistakes'; this outfit defiantly goes by that saying, by hiding the top part of the legs and working on the chest area instead. This piece is so effortless and can be thrown together in minutes, with a messy bun and minimal makeup, you will still look a million dollars!
 
Motel Arli High Waisted Flared Trousers in Root Down Rise Up - £35 - These pants are my favourite all time Motel piece, ever! I am IN LOVE with these pants and I will tell you why right now.. I hate shopping for pants, I think they hide my slim legs (sorry to sound vain) and never hug my figure in the way I want them to, therefore, I avoid shopping for pants, and due to that, own about 4 pairs of jeans and two pairs of leggings, which isn't a lot if you compare that to how many tops I have! But these pants look extremely figure hugging, and I am obsessed with how they are high waisted (always a bonus), slim around the belly, down the legs and then flare out at the bottom and I don't know why the flare trend hasn't already been re-discovered before now! If I won the lottery I would buy a pair of these for everyday of the week and wear them for the rest of my life! Enough said.
 
Motel Sun Slip Dress in Paradise Candy Pink - £35 - First of all, can we please have a moment of appreciation for the pinkness of this dress! This dress is beautiful, I love the simple slip design, but then this dramatic floral print and bold colour palette. There's so many ways you could wear this dress, you can dress it down for a casual day or dress it up for something like a wedding or summer garden party, the possibility's are endless. This dress only costs £35, but looks like its just come fresh off a runway! L-O-V-E!
 
Motel Anja Wrap Bell Sleeve Top in Ester Rust - £28 - Lastly, I found this amazing top. Again I am seeing the flared trend re-appear, but in a top version. I love a flared sleeve, especially for me, who has always been picked on for having very skinny arms, I feel a flared sleeve is the one style that helps enhance skinny arms and works well also. As for the colour and pattern, I love it! I love the wrap around effect, as it shows off your figure, as well as showing a hint of cleavage around the chest area (a bit of cleavage never hurt no one ;-)).
 
I am so impressed with the latest pieces from Motel and cannot wait for summer to come around so I can treat myself to a few goodies from there site!
 
Thank you for reading, I hope you loved my fave pieces as much as me, let me know what your faveorite Motel pieces are in the comments below..

W7 Makeup | First Impressions

I have never tried any products from the makeup brand W7, but that all changed this week, and lets just thank god I discovered this brand, W7 sell affordable and high quality makeup, which ticks all my boxes, and today I'm here to review some of there products for you!
 
 
I received all the products above, and immediately I noticed the cruelty free logo on the side of the 'Get Set Eyeshadow base', which made me a very happy bunny, as I am a hugeeeeeee supporter of cruelty free brands. I sometimes buy/order a product without knowing if there products are tested on animals or not, but if that is the case, I will give the product to a family member or friend, therefore, I really try my best to stick to my cruelty free rule!
 
Now onto the products, if you would like to visit the W7 website, where all products in this post can be found, please click HERE
 
10 out of 10 Eye Shadow Palette: This palette is amazing for the price, at just £5.95, this palette includes 10 shades that are perfect for anyone. I would highly recommend this palette, but especially to people who are just starting out with makeup and are wanting to build up there collection, as it is affordable and includes a variety of shades.
 
 
 
The top eye colours I would use to create a very dramatic smoky eye, as for the bottom colours, I would use these to go for a more neutral eye look. my favourite colour from this palette is the middle bronze/gold colour on the bottom, to me, this colour works the best and is the most easiest to blend in and build up.
I am not a big fan of the blue and purple shades in this palette, I am not a big fan of blue or purple eye makeup altogether, but these colours just don't seem to blend in as well and take a lot of building up to get the colour pigmented, however the middle top colour (dark grey/black) is okay for working into the crease and is build able. I would rate this palette a 7/10 and will defiantly keep and eye out on the other 10 out of 10 palettes to maybe try out soon.
 
Butter Kiss Lipstick: This lipstick is in the colour red light. I love this lipstick, its got a nice creamy texture to it, however, I would say it could be used as more of a tinted lip gloss, but if you build up onto it, you will be able to create a more pigmented lip colour. The fact this lipstick is more of a lip gloss doesn't change my positive opinion on this product, I still really like this lipstick to create a natural makeup look, but with a bit of colour on the lips. I am very curious to try out the other shades, as I am so impressed with this one. 9/10.
 
 
Catwalk Concealer: This is the most disappointing product of them all, even though the concealer blends in very well and has a nice creamy texture, the shade is way to dark for my pale complexion. This is the lightest shade they do, the colour looks darker in person compared to the photo. This product is not use able for my skin tone, however, I will keep it to use for a day when I have fake tan on and want to apply makeup over the top, as I think this would be more suited to people with more of a tan than my pale self. If this concealer was more lighter, it would be perfect, the product blends in so well and leaves a lovely finish to your skin. 6/10.
 
Get Set Eye Shadow Base: I am loving this product so much, for a drugstore product, it works so well for me. The colour of this eye base is matte white, you can build up the product if you need to but is also great for a thin layer. This product blends in very well, however, my only fault is that it can make the eye shadow a bit more harder to blend in, I would leave the eye base to dry for a few minutes before applying an eye shadow over the top, apart from that, I really do love this product, I use it every time I do my eye makeup now and will defiantly be re-purchasing once I run out! If you are looking for a cheap but good quality eye base, give this a go and it wont let you down! 10/10.
 
I had so much fun trying these products out, I will certainly be trying more W7 products in the future and I hope I have convinced you to take a look to!
 
Thank you for reading and thank you to the team at W7 for helping me discover such an awesome brand.

Fullips Lip Enhancers | Review

Hi everyone, so good to be back after a busy/stressful week.
 
I have a review that I cannot wait to share with you all, I have been testing out the Fullips lip enhancers, they are a small device which you put over your lips and suck into, its sounds scarier than it actually is!
 
These devices are a temporary lip plumper, therefore, you don't have to go through all the pain of lip injections, use this product and you will have big, beautiful Kylie Jenner lips in no time. These lip plumpers only last a few hours at a time, but trust me there soooo worth giving a try!
 


There are three sizes, but I was lucky enough to be sent all three, thank you Linda!
The sizes include:
Small Oval - For thin lips & targeting (this one can also be used vertically) My favourite!
 
Medium Oval - For smaller, overall mouth size, single or both lips.
 
Large round - For fuller mouths & overall mouth fullness, both lips.

 
Tip: Always use a lip balm before using the lip plumper's, as it creates a smoother surface for suction to be more successful.
 
I have been so desperate to show everyone my results, but have struggled to take photos that I am 100% pleased with, as you can notice the different in my lips a lot better in person and im not great with camera selfies (especially when theres no front camera - Nightmare!)
These products really do work, you have to try them for yourself to see what im talking about!

 
I cannot believe I had the guts to show you my naked skin, for the world to see *hides face*.

These lip plumper's work great for me, the small oval is my 'go to' plumper, personally it sucks my lips in the best and works perfect for my small lips. There is no pain, just a slight tingling sensation afterwards for the first few times you use them, everyone's experiences will be different so I cant say this will happen for everyone. Do not suck to hard when first trying the lip plumper's out as they can bruise, but there is no need to suck to hard, they work fine with a light suction.

I am a big fan of biggggggggggggggggg lips, so these lip plumpers are literally life savers for me! They make my lips look so much better when I apply lip products such as lip liners, lipsticks, lip crayons etc.

There is nothing I can fault with this brand and there products, the lady who sent me these lip plumper's to review, is the sweetest women you will ever speak to and sent me so much useful information within the package I received, to make sure I knew 100% what I was doing; the packaging is also beautiful and very eye catching!

I was sent these all the way from the US, therefore im not sure what shipping is like, but whatever the price, they are certainly worth investing in.

Zoya Nail Polish | Review

Any nail polish addicts out there like me?
If you are one of those people, then this post will be perfect for you..
 
I am going to be telling you about a Zoya nail polish I have been loving recently..
For those who don't know what Zoya is, they are a nail polish brand which do an amazing range of nail polishes in beautiful shades and nail accessories.
Want to check out their website? Feel free to open this link - www.zoyapolish.co.uk
 
The shade I have been raving about lately is 'Payton', it is a stunning purple colour with lots of tiny bits of sparkle mixed it, perfect for all us women who love a bit of shimmer here and there.
 
 
 
This shade can be worn all year round, it works great for summer, as the shimmer will glisten in the sun, and the dark shade is ideal for winter for those more dull & darker days.
 
This nail polish took me about 5-10 minutes to apply, which is amazing for me as I normally end up having to do lots of layers before the colour is strong. This polish is super pigmented and the first layer applies so well, therefore you only need to do around 2 layers. I did apply a layer of topcoat, however, this polish dries soooooo shiny that you could probably get away with not applying a topcoat at all.
 
I love the shape of the bottle, the rounded top is modern and funky. The bottle is so much comfier to hold, as there's no sharp edges.
 
The only down side to this polish personally, is the brush, its to long for me and a little on the thin side. I like short & wide nail polish brushes, however it did work well for the more longer nails. This is something I can get over, and defiantly wont put me off using this polish time & time again.
 
These polishes value at £10.50 from the UK website (prices may vary), which I think is a bargain, there is so much product in such a tiny bottle and the quality is insane.
 
Thank you for reading, I hope you will consider this amazing brand.

Glo & Ray Balloon Pop | Review

Good afternoon.
 
Today I will be reviewing a fun eyeliner set which I have had really enjoyed trying out. These Glo & Ray eyeliners are not your typical dark shades, they are fun, suitable for summer but also with some shades great for any other season.
This set is called Balloon Pop - Sky Breaker.
 
 
Firstly, the packaging is so insane, this set has been designed so every part of it is eye catching, its like a big colourful circus in a box.
I normally take all my makeup out of its packaging and add put it in my makeup draws, however I love this box so much that I sat it on top of my makeup draws to show off, its to pretty to chuck away.
 
 
This set includes 6 eyeliners, all in a variety of colours and a sharpener which is very handy as I'm always loosing my eyeliner sharpeners. So basically everything you need to create a funky eye look is in this little box.
 
 
I am in LOVE with these eyeliners, they are extremely creamy and smooth on the skin. They are super pigmented and unlike a lot of eyeliners I've tried, you don't have to draw over them until the colour is pigmented enough. My favourite colour has to be Rosy candy. When I opened the box for the first time, I thought the pink eyeliner was a lip liner, for the reason that it came in a separate section from all the other eyeliners and it isn't your typical, everyday eyeliner colour.
I am so excited to get some good use out of Rosy Candy & Summer Sky in the summer. There's some amazing colours in this collection that you could even match your eyeliner with your outfit, and have a lot of fun with them.
 
Altogether I am so impressed with this collection. I will defiantly be checking out Glo & Ray more, by trying these eyeliners, I can already tell that all there other products will be just as great quality.

Crabtree & Evelyn | Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy | Review

Good afternoon everyone..
 
I hope your all having a well earned lazy Sunday, just like me.
 
Today I have a review on a product which is I-n-c-r-e-d-I-b-l-e..
 
I will be talking about the Verbena & Lavender Hand Therapy cream from one of my mothers all time favourite brands.. Crabtree & Evelyn.
Before trying this product I was not a hand cream sort of girl, I hate the greasy feel you get after applying it, or in some cases, the sticky feel. I just hated hand creams altogether and avoided them, even when my hands were in desperate need of some TLC.
However, trying this product out has changed my opinions on hand creams.
I have been using this hand cream everyday and cannot get enough of it, which is very strange as I am not a fan of Lavender scents, except with this scent, its not to powerful, making me fall in love with Lavender for the first time in a while..
 
 
As you can see from the above picture, this is what the packaging looks like, very pretty, yet, simple.
The packaging reminds me of something my great grandmother would have sitting on her dressing table. My great grandmother was always a fab woman, who made great effort to look and smell as fab as she was. I feel that the elegant lavender sketch on the front of the packaging gives off a classic look, but with a modern twist when you look at the design of the tube of which the hand cream comes in..

 
This is the hand cream tube, the background colour is utterly stunning, the sort of colour that would catch my attention. Crabtree & Evelyn always use such simple designs for there products, but always manage to make each design eye catching in such an effortless way. The purple writing against the green is something I wouldn't have thought would ever go well together, but I will make an exception with this product.
 
Onto the actual hand cream, I love the scent of this product, reason being that it isn't to strong, which is something I really am against. I suffer from terrible headaches whenever I smell something to strong, so I have to keep away from powerful scents as much as I can, this is why I am so impressed with this product, I could apply the whole bottle to my hands & I still wouldn't get headache.
 
You only need to apply a tiny amount in my opinion, something like a pea size amount, a little goes a long way. This hand cream leaves my hands feeling smooth and looking fresh. The Verbena & Lavender hand cream does NOT leave your hands sticky, greasy or wet, but leaves a silk feel to your skin. I genuinely feel so much cleaner and fresh when I have this hand cream on my skin.
 
I would 100% recommend this hand cream to anyone, any age, as the scent is something which suits any pair of hands, whether they need some TLC or not. You must give this product a try.
 
The Verbena & Lavender hand cream costs £15 from the Crabtree & Evelyn website, which is worth every penny. You get a 3.5 OZ tube which for me, will last probably the whole year.
If you would like to take a look at this luxurious hand cream please click HERE and if this scent isn't for you, they have other scents available to view on there website.
 
Thank you for reading.
Have a lovely Sunday.
