June Beauty Favourites!

Hey beaut's!

June has been a bit of a poo month really, a close family member has been poorly and it's generally been crap, but on a brighter note I'm currently on holiday from work and the weather is bloody gorgeous so theres always that! A favourite I have to add in before we get down to beauty business is Love Island, oh how I'm addicted! I actually re-watched series 1 and 2 on Netflix before series 4 started (why oh why isn't series 3 on Netflix?) and I've been hooked to series 4 ever since it came on, I must admit it has been a slightly slow start but I feel like things are really heating up this week, I also detest Adam and Meghan, ewwww!

 Firstly this month I have been loving my Urban Decay Trouble Maker Mascara again, I'm doing that thing where I'm trying to use makeup within my makeup collection before going out and buying something new, and as I'd finished my Tanya Burr mascara I decided to whack this beauty back out and I've really been loving it! It volumizes and lengthens as it separates which is just what I like and it doesn't flake or smudge on me, hurrah! 

 Scent wise this month I've been obsessed with my Zoella Gelat'Eau Body Mist, in fact I've nearly finished my bottle now! The scent of this mist is so nice for this time of the year, think slightly floral, fresh and edible (but don't actually spray it in your mouth he he) it's lush!

 My lips have been having a real dry spell recently so out came the Clarins Lip Oil to the rescue, it leaves a shiny, non-sticky finish on the lips which is so nourishing and gives my lips that dose of moisture they crave! I have a feeling I'll be buying lots of this stuff during the colder months too, I really want to try one of the tinted, scented ones next!

 Leighton Denny's Street Dance has been my go to for the last couple of months really, it has a clear base but is jam packed with all different sizes, shapes and colours of glitter, and after a couple of coats it literally takes any coloured manicure to a whole new level, it's stunning! 

 I've only just recently been using my Joan Collins lippie in the shade Bella because I had totally forgotten about it 'silly me', but I had to include it within my favourites because it looks so bloody pretty! It's a delicate peachy nude and for me it's the easiest way to switch my lip colour up for the Summer without going too bold!

 My final favourite this month is from Zoella again, it's her Shower Sauce Body Wash from the same Gelato range as the body mist above! This stuff has the same gorgeous scent as the perfume, it's so summery and lingers on my skin for hours after use, for me it smells of all things Summer within a body wash!

What have you been loving this month beaut's? I'd love to know!

World Duty Free Top Picks!

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of year again when everyone is jetting off on their summer holiday's, and what better way to kick start your holiday than with a few cheeky purchases from World Duty Free! Being the makeup and beauty lover that I am I literally cant wait to check out duty free when I go away so today I thought I'd share with you all a couple of my favourites that you can pick up at the moment!

Can we all just take a second to appreciate how stunning this Christian Dior Lip Experts Duo* is, oh my... I literally have love hearts in my eyes right now! Within this duo you get a full size Dior Addict Lip Glow in Pink, this feels and looks like a lip balm but once its applied to the lips the formula reacts to your lip chemistry to create a glow that is unique to you, pretty cool huh! It feels extremely nourishing on my lips and leaves me with such a pretty pink flush on my lips, perfect for when your on holiday and want a slight tint to your lips without having to wear a full on lippie or liquid lipstick, I love it! Theres also a travel sized Dior Lip Maximiser within the set, this moisturises the lips and gives an incredible instant-volume effect for full, plump lips. The gloss itself smells divine, just like vanilla and mint and it instantly tingles on the lips, it can feel a little intense to start with but once your used to the sensation it's actually quite satisfying and I definitely feel my lips look more plump after using it too so it certainly works, and a major plus is that the gloss isn't sticky at all, woohoo.

Next up is this Clarins Perfect Body Set* (£35.00) which is a Travel Exclusive and cant be found anywhere else only at the airport, the set includes Clarins Moisture-Rich Body Lotion 100ml, Tonic Body Treatment Oil 30ml, Body Lift Cellulite Control 100ml and the Exfoliating Body Scrub 30ml. This is literally the perfect little set to take away with you on holiday to keep your skin looking gorgeous and nourished. My favourite products from this set would have to be the scrub and the rich body lotion, these two together are a dream for the skin, I have quite dry skin which I always have to exfoliate and moisturise and since using these two together my skin has been super soft, nourished and really healthy looking with no dryness at all, I cant recommend them enough for dry skinned gals!

You can find all of these products and sets plus so much more at World Duty Free - HERE. Also you can now save precious time at the airport by reserving both of these products as well as thousands of other products right now. The items/products will be ready and waiting for you to collect in store before your flight. No payment is required until collection and you can even nominate someone else to collect your order for you, it's so easy and convenient.

Feel Unique Pick 'N' Mix Sample Service Review

Hey beaut's!

I was browsing the Feel Unique website recently adding things to my wish list, ya know as ya do, and I noticed they have a sample service. I love a sample or two so straight away I was interested and after seeing I could get samples of NARs products for FREE I placed an order pretty sharpish!

To use the Feel Unique Pick 'N' Mix Sample Service all you have to do is choose five beauty samples out of the hundreds of samples they have to choose from, I actually couldn't believe how much choice their was, whether your looking for makeup, skincare, hair or fragrance theres a sample for it, all of which are high end brands/well known names. The samples don't cost you a penny but the delivery and handling is £3.95 however...once your order has been dispatched you receive an email with a voucher code worth £3.95, you can then use this on the Feel Unique website the next time you place an order, I needed some more Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish so I wangled £3.95 off my purchase, woohoo!

The first two samples I decided to go for where the ever so popular NARs Laguna Bronzer and the NARs Orgasm Blush, I have been keen to try these two beauties for months so as soon as I saw I could get a couple of samples it was a no brainer and they went straight in my basket. I then went for the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil in shade 2, I actually have shade 1 of this already and I love it so when I saw shade 2 was available I thought I'd grab one for days when I want a fuller, stronger brow and the size of the sample is pretty generous too. I then opted for the Clarins Multi-Active Instant Eye Reviver, I love eye creams so I thought I'd give this one a whirl, the sample contains 3ml's worth of product but I feel this will last me a couple of weeks as I don't use loads of eye cream at one time. The final sample I chose was the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream in the shade Natural 05, I only got 3 applications out of this sample but I really liked it and got quite a summery, light weight vibe from it, it also contains SPF 30 which is really good and it's hydrating qualities means it's perfect for those with dryer skin like mine.

You can find the Feel Unique Pick 'N' Mix Sample Service HERE.

Have you tried the Feel Unique Sample Service? What did you think? I'd love to know!

New In at World Duty Free

Hey beaut's!

Autumn may be here but that doesn't mean we cant book ourselves a cheeky end of year or late holiday, and what better way to kick start your holiday than with a few cheeky purchases from World Duty Free! Being the makeup and beauty lover I am I literally cant wait to check out duty free when I go away so today I thought I'd share with you a couple of things that are new in at World Duty Free at the moment ranging from high end to drugstore!

First up is the Clarins Limited Edition Eye Palette* which is just £12.00. This little palette contains 8 eyeshadows in gorgeous neutral tones and could easily take you from day to night whilst your away on holiday! Theres a nice mix of matte and metallic shades to play around with and the quality of these shades is gorgeous, I had never tried any Clarins eyeshadows before testing out this palette and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the pigment is strong, all the shades are so buttery soft to swatch and blend beautifully and they last well. I can even get away with using a couple of these shades in my brows too so it's great for multi tasking!

Next up is this L'Oreal Travel Exclusive pack of Infallible Sexy Balm's*. Within this set theres three Infallible Sexy Balm's in rosy hues, these are gorgeous and feel just like your wearing a super moisturising lip balm with a kick of colour that really lasts. I have the shades Clueless - a sheer girly pink, Such A Babe - a sheer post box red and finally my favourite Cant Sit With Us - a sheer berry tones red. 

Fragrances are always a popular choice whilst shopping in duty free and I can never resist those miniature sets which brings me onto the Nina Ricci Miniature Set* which is £35.00. This set features five gorgeous smelling perfumes which are all individually boxed and packaged in replicas of their full sized bottles, their soooo cute and the perfect size for travelling because they are super lightweight and wont take up much room at all within your luggage. Within the set theres 1 Nina EDT, 1 Nina L’Eau EDT, 1 Ricci Ricci EDP, 1 L’Air du Temps EDT and L'Extase EDP.  

For nails theres the O.P.I Retro Summer Collection* which is a Travel Exclusive at World Duty Free. This set contains six mini O.P.I nail polishes in bright, solid shades inspired by the 1970's, these shades are stunning and will look perfect on the nails if your still clinging onto Summer he he. It's no surprise that the quality of these nail polishes are amazing, the O.P.I formula is so good, I honestly have nothing but love for these and the tiny bottles are absolutely perfect for travelling and super cute.

Skincare Valentines Gifts for Him and Her! ♥

Hey beaut's!

Valentines Day is fast approaching so today I thought I would share couple of gift idea's with you all, I tried to think a little more outside the box with these, they aren't your typical perfumes/aftershaves, box of chocolates or flowers but luxury skincare from Cosme.De.com to suit him and her! I know skincare can be quite a personal thing but I think its always nice to try something new that you wouldnt usally pick out yourslef and because its luxury it's seems that little but more special and thought out.

Estée Lauder Resilience Lift 3-Piece Skincare Travel Set* £19.00

Firstly I have this gorgeous little travel set by Estee Lauder! Personally I think travel sets make amazing presents because you get a few goodies to try that you normally wouldn't pick up, so its a great way to discover new products, and as they are the smaller travel sizes I find you get just enough product to cast an opinion as to whether you really like it or not. The Resilience Lift 3-Piece Skincare Travel Set includes...

♥ Perfectionist [CP+R] Wrinkle Lifting/Firming Serum 15ml

This is a powerful wrinkle lifting/firming serum that claims to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles with exceptional speed, gotta love the sound of that ha ha. The Serum contains breakthrough CPR-75 technology that is proven to double your skin's natural collagen building power, which plumps up and smooths the skin. This does sound more for a mature woman but I've been using it loads and I'm in my 20's and I've found that it makes my skin feel and look fresher and radiant and works beautifully under foundation.

♥ Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Crème SPF 15 7ml

If you have dry skin like myself your going to love this! The Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Crème has a whip cream texture that super moisturising, after testing it out I've noticed that it does take a while to absorb into the skin so its best used at night as more of a night crème, when you wake up in the morning you'll be left with super moisturised, nourished skin .

.

♥ Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Eye Crème 5ml

I do love a good eye cream because my eye area get dark a dry so I was so excited to try this and my goodness its a good'un! The Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Eye Crème contains an intensely nourishing formula which instantly hydrates the eye area, it also contains luminizing optics which blur the look of fine lines and helps reduce to look of darkness around the eye area. All in all this little beauty makes my entire eye area look firmer, brighter, smoother than ever, love this stuff.

All of the Estée Lauder goodies come in a cute Geometric Patterned Blue and Purple Cosmetic Bag that comes in so handy when travelling.

Clarins Men Grooming Collection* £30.00 

Next we have something for the man in your life... This Clarins Men Grooming set ranges from shaving foam to moisture balm and is simple enough for men to use on a daily basis whether their a beginner or pro in skincare. The set includes...

♥ Men Super Moisture Balm 50ml - Great for reviving the skins texture after shaving, the soothing, non-oily texture of the balm is best for normal to dry skin and will leave your man with exceptionally supple and smooth skin.

♥ Men Exfoliation Cleanser 2 in 1 125ml - This dual function cleanser and exfoliator regulates the complexion gently but effectively while making impurities disappear, it's great for that deep clean and banishing any flaky skin area's.

♥ Men Smooth Shave Foaming Gel 50ml - This Smooth Shave Foaming Gel is a must for any man, it physically and biologically reduces razor burn by creating a protective film over the skin, and prevents the development of bacteria and redness. For a close shave for all men, whatever their skin type.

♥ I think an IPhone case can make a great little stocking filler, and I think any girly girl would love a nice floral design, the one I found is available on Amazon for £18.00.

♥ I think the Babyliss Curl Secret Hair Styler is going to be on everyones Christmas list this year, it just looks so snazzy!!! The way it works is your hair is automatically drawn gently into the ceramic curl chamber where it is softly held and gently heated from all directions to form a curl, it sounds pretty amazing to be honest and is available in Argos for £119.99.

♥ Ohhh I do love abit of Soap & Glory and at Christmas time they seem to bring out some lovely gift sets. The Bright Bubbly Gift Set contains a mini Clean On Me shower gel & shower puff, a mini Hand Food hand cream, a mini Scrub Of Your Life body scrub and a mini Righteous Butter body cream, personally I think its a great selection of some of Soap and Glorys best sellers. The set is a bargain at just £10.00 from Boots.
  
♥ Vera Wang Princess perfume just looks stunning, not only does it smell nice but how gorgeous is that bottle going to look on any girls dressing table. The RRP for Vera Wang Princess is £27.00 for 30ml.

♥ If your after treating that someone special to abit of arm candy this Christmas then I think a Michael Kors watch could be the way to go, the Rose Gold Chronograph Dial Round Bracelet Watch is an absolute beauty.

♥ I've seen the Neom candles floating around the blogging world for quite some time and they look gorgeous, I definitely think if your going to splash out on a candle this Christmas then Neom could be the way to go, also their candles are all organic which I think is a lovely touch. The Neom 3 wick candles are available on the Neom Organics website for £39.50.

♥ Oh my goodness...
