Christmas Gift Guide For Her!

Hey beaut's!

One of the main struggles we have at Christmas is knowing what on earth to buy our loved ones and friends, and with just 34 sleeps to go until the big day (scary hey) it's about time we all get that Christmas shopping started pronto! So today I thought I'd put a little gift guide together and share a few gifts that have been tried and tested that I think make perfect presents, most of which are pretty affordable although there is one more pricey 'main present' thrown into the mix. 

Technic have some fabulous gifts sets this year that are perfect for any makeup loving gals you have in your life, and they don't break the bank either! The Technic Nude Edition Lipstick Collection (£4.99) comes with 6 full size liquid lipsticks in a great selection of nudes and theres also the perfect Christmas red shade in there too. Sticking with liquid lipsticks the Technic Lip Locker Matte Lip Set comes with 10 mini liquid lipsticks in nude, pink, red, plum and berry shades making it the ultimate gift for liquid lippie fans, best of all it's only £5.99 which is an absolute steal! The Technic 'The Glitz' Eyeshadow Set (£2.99) has to be my favourite though, it contains 4 glitters in Silver, Gold, Copper, and Cranberry which are perfect for the festive season and the quality is pretty good too! You can use them as eyeshadow toppers, in your inner corners or as liquid eyeliner, I love them!

If you have a wax melt lover on your hands then I cant recommend the Whiffy Wax Whopper Box (£20.00) enough, the box contains 9 2oz mega melts all of which are in festive scents and they all look beautiful, the detail and glitter within the melts in this box is seriously stunning! The quality of the wax melts is amazing too, I've tried quite alot of Whiffy Wax melts before and they melt melt so quickly filling your house with the gorgeous scent really quickly and you only need the smallest amount of wax for a really good scent throw too.

If you want to splash out on a main present or if you have a skincare junkie in the family then the PMD Clean Pro would make an amazing gift! The device comes in four colours - Navy, Teal, Berry and White and retails for £135.00 although it's on sale right now for £87.75! The PMD Clean Pro is a smart facial cleansing device which is made of ultra-hygienic silicone and is odour-resistant, antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and waterproof, so you can take it in the bath or shower with you without a care in the world! With SonicGlow™ technology the PMD Clean Pro removes skin’s impurities by breaking down dirt and oil from within the pores resulting in a much deeper cleanse whilst also toning, firming and smoothing the skin! The Pro also has the added bonus of the ActiveWarmth technology which radiates a soothing heat and encourages products to penetrate into the skin at a deeper level. I've been using my PMD Clean Pro for around a month or so now and I have to say I'm loving the results, my skin does indeed feel a lot smoother and supple now and I feel like it does a fantastic job at giving my skin a super deep cleanse and my skin has looked so fresh a polished since using it! 

If you know someone who suffers with dry, chapped skin or lips then the Dr.Lipp gift sets could be a saviour for them. Dr.Lipp is such a lovely brand and all of their products are 100% natural which I think is pretty amazing! I've used their multi-award-winning Nipple Balm for years because not only is it so bloody good for dryness but it has a multitude of uses too, the list is literally endless as you can use it for your hands, cuticles, after sun, babies bums, glitter glue, eyebrow shaping, sore nose, dry patches on your body like elbows and knees, chapped lips and you can use it as a clear lip gloss, it's so incredibly useful and their Original Nipple Balm Six Pack (£29.00) means you can have a mini balm on you at all times - in your pocket, handbag, makeup bag and on your work desk. Dr.Lipp also have a set of Lip Trio Tints (£18.00) which have the same amazing formula as the nipple balm but this time it's naturally tinted to add some colour as well as nourishment to your pout! 

Lastly something that's more universal and an AMAZING gift in my opinion is a pet portrait by Portrait Pals. Portrait Pals is an artist marketplace selling charitable pet portraits and bespoke gifts. How it works is you choose from a range of artists depending on the style of portrait your after, upload the photo of the adorably cute pet that you want turning into a portrait and then wait for the artist to do their thang! The artist I went for was the amazing Lauren Pilgreen, she done a incredible job at creating my portrait of Alfie, doesn't he look cute! I think this sort of gift is amazing for any pet owner of any age, and I think it such a special gift as the person receiving it will know you've really put a lot of thought, love and effort into their gift! 

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet beaut's or are you on the ball and finished? I'd love to know!

Slay This Spring/Summer With Cosmetify!

Hey beaut's!

As the weather gets a that bit warmer, the flowers start blooming and we naturally start feeling those Spring/Summer vibes it's time to switch things up in your makeup bag and get Spring/Summer ready! Say goodbye to your heavy matte foundations, dark eye shadows and vampy lips and rekindle your love with something lighter, brighter and fresher. So today I thought I would share with you a couple of products I got from Cosmetify* that are going to be perfect for the up and coming seasons!

If you haven't heard of Cosmetify before they're a beauty discovery website that has thousands upon thousands of makeup and beauty products all on one platform making it so quick and easy to shop, theres your higher end brands like NARs, Charlotte Tilbury and Chanel, and your high street brands like Barry M, Collection and ELF so theres brands to suit everyone, and theres everything from makeup, hair, tanning, fragrance, nails and even men's grooming to choose from, it's essentially a hub of all things beauty! 

One thing I always like to switch up when the weather gets warmer is my base makeup products so I had to grab a new primer to try, I opted for the Barry M Unicorn Primer Drops Beauty Elixir (£7.99) and I'm so glad I did because I love it! This is an oil-free elixir which is packed with super fruits such as acai berry, goji berry, watermelon and tamarind, which all work together to brighten, detoxify, hydrate and smooth the skin making it the perfect primer and skin care treatment. As you apply the primer the pink glowy formula from the little pipette dropper adds the most natural luminosity to the skin without being glittery thank goodness, it goes super tacky as you rub it in which my foundation seems to love because it blends and lasts like a dream over the top of it, it's amazing stuff that I'm going to need to re-purchase over and over from now on!    

Sticking with base makeup I had wanted to try the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (£20.00) for soooo long and when I saw Cosmetify had a deluxe mini size available it seemed the perfect time to give it a whirl, plus you always need a good setting powder in the warmer months dont you! After giving this powder a go I can finally see why it's so well loved in the beauty world, it literally goes on so lightly and smoothly without adding a powdery texture to the skin - it's amazing, it also has a soft-focus blur effect built in so it subtly blurs imperfections, it doesn't settle into fine lines or pores either and never looks cakey, which is an absolute first for me when trying a loose powder! It's INCREDIBLE and no wonder it's won awards!

I love that MAC now have a 'Little' range as it allows you to try something out before maybe committing to the larger size, I decided to grab the MAC Little Pigment (£10.00) in the shade Rose which is the most beautiful deep metallic rose colour with gold flecks suspended within it, it just screams Spring/Summer to me and I also think it would work amazingly well during the festival season!

Finally Summer just wouldn't be Summer without messy beachy waves and I happen to love that wavy look, and Redken's Wax Blast Spray (£10.73) is literally incredible for creating that perfectly undone texture to the hair whilst also keeping the style in place for a good couple of days! The way I like to use the wax blast spray to achieve that beachy look is by curling my hair (you don't have to be neat) I then spray the wax blast through the curls and on my hands and use my hands as a comb to work it through the curls and make them quite messy and choppy, the effect is lush! The next day I repeat with the spray to add more texture to the curls and as more days go by the better it looks in my opinion!

What are your Spring/Summer beauty product must haves beaut's? I'd love to know!

March Fashion & Beauty Wishlist!

Hey beaut's!

It's March which can only mean one thing...it's wishlist time again, and this month I'm switching things up by having a couple of clothing pieces on my wishlist, this makes a change for me because usually it's a mountain of makeup products that I'm lusting after! 

I'm LOVING the leopard print trend still and the midi skirt from New Look is high up on my must buy list along with the fabulous t-shirt which is also from New Look which I thought would look quite nice tucked into the skirt! I've also got to have those leopard print sandals from Topshop ready for the warmer days, I absolutely love them!

Makeup wise I really want to try the Elf  Poreless Putty Primer, unfortunately they don't seem to have it in my Superdrug yet as I've already been on the hunt for it so hopefully they will have it in stock soon! I also really want to try the Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette, I collect Urban Decay palettes so I need to add this one to my collection pronto! I also cant wait for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Liquid Liner to launch, if you know me then you know I don't leave the house without my trademark winged liner on so this launch has got me very excited! 

Whats on your beauty wishlist at the moment beaut's?

My First Beauty Wishlist Of 2019!

Hey beaut's!

It's been absolutely ages since I done a beauty wishlist and seeing as theres so much on my wishlist right now I thought it was the perfect time to get back on the wishlist train! Theres so many new things out at the moment and surprise, surprise they're all catching my eye, firstly the collaboration between Morphe and Jeffree Star is ticking all the right boxes for me, I mean just look how stunning those brushes and beauty sponges are, I need them in my life asap! 

Urban Decay have a whole new brow collection out that I'm really wanting to try, I'm really into my brow products these days and I actually love sculpting my brows to perfection, it's become one of my favourite makeup steps and Urban Decay's whole collection looks amazing and the packaging is super pretty too! I'm a HUGE lover of Too Faced eyeshadow palettes as the quality is always incredible so the new Pretty Rich Diamond Light Palette was always going to go on my wishlist, and the fact it's shaped like a trinket box is just everything!

Soap & Glory's new haircare line is something else I'm chomping at the bit to try as well as Pixi's new Glow Glycolic Boost Sheet Masks, I bet their bloody epic! And Revolution as always have tonnes of new launches that I'm after trying but particularly I want to give their dual-ended liquid eyeshadows a whirl as they look beautiful!

Benefit Makeup I've Been Putting To The Test!

Hey beaut's!

Over the last month or so I've been working my way through all the gift sets I got for Christmas and one of them was a Benefit set complete with five products to put to the test, so today I thought I'd share which ones I've been loving so far and which ones don't really cut the mustard!

So lets kick things off with the Bad Girl Bang Mascara, this is Benefit's latest mascara launch and I was so excited to try it but truth be told I'm still on the fence about it! The things I love about the Bad Girl Bang mascara is that it creates lots of length, it's super black, it doesn't smudge or flake and it doesn't feel heavy on my lashes however.. when it creates that length it almost makes my lashes look spidery which is something I really don't like in a mascara, I also find it a little hard to apply because the mascara wand is very long and the brush itself is quite thin and bendy so I really have to be weary when I apply it! So yeah I'm still a bit unsure on this one beaut's!

I knew I was going to love the Hoola Bronzer because I already have one on the go that I've hit pan on so I'm happy to have a replacement on hand! If your yet to try this cult classic it's an amazing matte bronzer that's great for both contouring and bronzing up the skin because it's that in-between colour where it's not too warm or two cool making it so versatile! Moving onto Gimme Brow which is soooo good, it's a tinted eyebrow gel which contains tiny microfibers that adhere to your skin and brow hairs, it not only sets your brows in place all day but it creates natural-looking fullness and definition, it honestly makes my brows look so full a fluffy but not in a harsh way if that makes sense, and it doesn't dry hard or crispy either thank goodness!

The POREfessional Pearl Primer was another product I was really interested in trying, I've always felt the orginal POREfessional was good at filling in my pores but was quite drying on my skin so I was interested in seeing if the pearl formula was different, and it isn't! The Pearl Primer works in the exact same was as POREfessional does however it's meant to add a soft radiance to the skin and leave your skin looking brighter and to be honest I didn't notice a difference at all, and it was still quite drying on me. That being said it is really good at filling in pores so it's not all bad I guess!

I think one of my favourite products here has to be the They're Real! Double The Lip, I have to admit I really wasn't interested in these when they launched because I thought.. how is a lipstick with a built-in lip liner going to work and be precise but actually after trying it out I bloody love it! I have the shade Lusty Rose which is the perfect everyday shade, it feels quite balmy on the lips and is so comfortable to wear and the concept really works well giving me a perfect pout in seconds!

Have you tried any of these products beaut's? What did you think? I'd love to know!

What I Got For Christmas 2018

 Hey beaut's!!!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and stuffed your faces with all the pigs in blankets and chocolate because I know I did! I'm so sad Christmas is all over for another year though, I absolutely love the build up and the pretty decorations but hey, today I thought I'd keep things slightly festive and join in on the 'What I Got For Christmas' bandwagon, personally I love reading these type of posts and seeing what lovely gifts everyone received. I was so lucky this year and received some lovely gifts from my family, boyfriend and friends and I really am grateful and truly thankful for everything I got! Anyway lets get going...

So lets kick things off with makeup, their wasn't actually much makeup on my Christmas wish list this year which is a first for me, but the one thing I had been longing for was the Huda Beauty New Nude Palette, and seeing as it's a hefty £56.00 I knew it would be something I would never buy myself but my boyfriend Mike treated me to it and I'm so thankful because look how stunning it is! As Mike knows what a makeup addict I am he also got me a Benefit set which was exclusive to Boot's this year, it's has some great full size bit's in it as well as some travel sized goodies so I cant wait to start using them! My Mum and Dad then got me the Too Faced Under The Christmas Tree Set which has a whopping three palettes inside as well as a travel sized Better Than Sex Mascara, my Mum done so well bless her, she stalks my Instagram for ideas apparently LOL! 

 My Mum and Dad also picked me up the Soap & Glory The Mask Force Five Set, the Christmas Edition Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and a Lush Bath Bomb Gift Set, all of which I absolutely adore so thank you so much Mum and Dad, they also got me some Topshop Joni Jeans but I completely forgot to photograph those, oops! 

 One thing I couldn't believe my boyfriend Mike got me was the Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall Lego set, this is something I've often seen in shops and said to Mike I'd love to build it and he only went and got it for me bless him, I'm actually half way though making it already because isn't Lego addictive....I have a strange feeling Lego building could be my new hobby LOL! Mike also picked me up a bottle of Jimmy Choo Blossom perfume too because he knows it's my go to fragrance for Spring/Summer so I'm now stocked up with a big 100ml bottle!

My bestie Kate knows me so well, she got a Yankee Candle bauble because I'm such a candle addict, a baking cook book because one of my main hobbies is baking and the Maybelline Line and Prime Gift Set which is just me all over, thanks so much girl! And finally Mike picked me up a new hand whizzer, this was actually on my Christmas list as the last hand whizzer I had literally blew up a couple of months a go so I was in desperate need of a new one! He also got me the most precious Beauty and the Beast music box which you wind up yourself and it plays the Beauty and the Beast theme song, I LOVE this so much and haven't stopped winding it up since I got it!

So that's all of my gorgeous gifts I received this year beaut's! I also received some tins of chocolates and biscuits that I think will last me a lifetime ha ha and I received some money too so I think a shopping trip will be in order very soon I'm sure!!!

What did you get for Christmas beaut's?? Leave me your links below as I'd love to see.

Feral Cosmetics x Arpi Limited Edition Collection

Hey beaut's!

If you've been reading my blog for a while now you might already know that I'm a huge Feral Cosmetics fan, if you haven't heard of Feral Cosmetics before their a US, cruelty free and vegan lip products brand which are sold here in the UK on the Beauty Chamber website. Beauty Chamber have recently added two new shades as part of their Feral Cosmetics x Arpi limited edition collection, one of which is a complete new formula for Feral and I couldn't wait to try the duo out on my pout!

The two new shades Feral have launched with American model, actress, singer and TV host Arpi Gabrielyan are simply named R.P and R.P2, R.P is a gorgeous peachy nude which is in Feral's AMAZING liquid lipstick formulation, and R.P2 is a clear gloss lip topper which is crammed full of beautiful gold and silver glitter that twinkles beautifully, perfect for a festive pout! I've always raved about the consistency and texture of Feral's liquid lippies as it's so lovely and I'd go as far as saying one of the best formula's I've tried in terms of liquid lipsticks and the shade R.P certainly follows suit! The product feels super thin and lightweight during the application process where as a lot of other liquid lipsticks I've tried are much thicker and heavier. Despite being thin in constancy R.P still packs a pigmented punch and is fully opaque in one quick swipe, you definitely don't need to build up the opacity that's for sure! Once dried down on the lips the formula still feels super lightweight and doesn't really feel that dry at all thank goodness, they do have an ever so slight tacky feeling when I rub my lips together to begin with but I'd much prefer that than dryness. The liquid lipstick also has a touch proof finish too, I literally pressed and rubbed my finger over my lips once the lippie had completely dried down and it never transferred onto my fingers, and the lasting power is phenomenal. Ohhh and did I mention they have a lovely light vanilla scent to them too, it's so yummy!

 The lip topper is a complete new formula for Feral and for me too and wow it's stunning, usually I'm not a gloss or lip topper kinda gal because of the fear of my hair being permanently stuck to my lips because of a sticky gloss but we need to praise the Feral makeup loving gods because this lip topper isn't sticky in the slightest, YASSSS!! I just cant stress enough how stunning this lip topper looks over liquid lipsticks and matte lipsticks, it's so pretty and twinkly and despite being such a sparkly gloss it doesn't feel gritty on the lips at all which is a bonus. 

Overall I really love this duo and cant recommend the Feral liquid lipsticks and now their new lip topper enough, the quality is just so so good and that's really saying something coming from me because I've always been a bit of a fuss pot when it comes to both liquid lipsticks and lip toppers, I'm always put off with the dry/tightness/cracking of liquid lippies but Feral Cosmetics are just so lightweight and lovely!

You can shop the Feral Cosmetics x Arpi Limited Edition Collection* on the Beauty Chamber website for £14.95 each HERE.

Burt's Bees Stocking Fillers!

Hey beaut's!

Can you believe Christmas is about a month away now, it's crazy how quick the time is going, I really want it to slow down so I can live all things festive for longer, does anyone else feel like that? Anyway today I have a couple of super cute gifts from Burt's Bees which I think would make the most amazing stocking fillers or secret Santa goodies!

First up is the Burt's Bees Kissable Colour Gift Set* (£11.99), this little set includes three stunning warm shades of Lip Shimmer in Peony, Fig and Rhubarb which are all enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin E and antioxidant rich fruit oils which moisturise and naturally soften lips. What I love about the lip shimmers is that they give your lips and lovely tint of colour, it honestly makes your lips so juicy and plump looking!

The next stocking stuffer I have is the Burt's Bees Trio Tin Gift Set* (£9.99), this set is a lip balm lovers perfect gift because it contains three of Burt's Bees 100% natural lip balms in a variety of yummy scents, theres everything from Beeswax with Peppermint, Honey and my personal favourite out of the three Coconut and Pear, mmm it's so lush! You really cant go wrong with Burt's Bees lip balms, I've raved about them loads of my blog before because their just so nourishing on the lips and the fact you get three in this set means you can have a lip balm on you at all times, your handbag, makeup bag and even your desk at work!

Lastly but in no means least is the Burt's Bees Mistletoe Kiss Gift Set* (£9.99), this one is so adorable because it hangs like a little beauty bauble, oh I love! Inside this cutie you will find a Pomegranate Lip Balm, Lip Shimmer in Peony and a Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus. All three are enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin E and fruit oils to moisturise the driest of lips and add a pop of luminescent colour.

All three of these little gifts will certainly keep your pout looking nourished and on point over Christmas and into the new year, and their ideal little extras in a stocking or if your doing secret Santa at work or with your friends this year these little gifts are perfect and really wont break the bank.

You can find all the Burt's Bees gift sets HERE and their 3 for 2 at the moment as well, result!

Theres A New Subscription Box In Town - British Beauty Box Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

You probably all know by now that I love a good ole subscription box, I just love the whole element of surprise, I mean who doesn't? Well there’s a shiny new subscription box in town that you guys and gals just might need in your life, so say hello to British Beauty Box!  

British Beauty Box is a skincare and haircare subscription box that is delivered to your door every 3 months, each box will contain 5 full size luxury products that will be worth at least double the price you pay for your box, the contents of the September box is worth a whopping £128, that's crazy good right! Heres what I received, and I have to say I'm over the moon with the contents....

* Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm With Dual-Action Cleansing Cloth £47.00 - I absolutely love the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm, I've had two jars previously but the hefty price tag did put me off re-purchasing it anymore, so the fact theres a whopping 100g pot within the British Beauty Box makes me very happy! The cleansing balm turns into an luxurious feeling oil once you start rubbing it into the skin and literally breaks down any makeup or SPF you've had on your face all day, and the dual-action cleansing cloth has a gentle yet abrasive muslin side to wipe away the oil from my face and down my neck and then theres a smoother, micro fibre side perfect for the eye area and voila... My skin is left super clean, conditioned and not dry what so ever! 
* Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads £14.95 - I've heard a lot of good things about these Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads, in fact their a best-seller for Nip + Fab so I cant wait to give them a go. You get 60 pre-soaked pads within the pot and all you have to do is rub one all over your face at night to exfoliate the skin and let the acids within the pad do their thang!!!
*Ark Skincare Pre Cleanse & Makeup Remover £30.00 - Then we have another cleanser type product which personally I'm so happy about, I'm always on the look out for good cleansers seeing as it's one of the most important steps in our daily skincare routine! The Ark Skincare Pre Cleanse & Makeup Remover has a water like consistency that you use with a cotton wool pad to remove all of your makeup and the days daily grime from your face. I've really enjoyed using this so far, it removes my makeup well and is so soft and gentle on my skin, I also love the fact it's made with natural ingredients and is vegan friendly! 
* Bybi Babe Balm £18.00 - The Bybi Babe Natural Beauty Balm is a fab multi-purpose skincare product, I think dry skinned gals will definitely benefit from this product a lot because it can be used as a super rich moisturiser, a night cream, a lip balm, a hand cream the list literally goes on and on, I think this is going to be an essential autumn and winter product that I wont be able to live without!
* Manuka Doctor Radiance Serum - Finally this month we have the Manuka Doctor Radiance Serum, this lovely stuff boosts your skins radiance and gives an instant illuminating effect. It helps to tighten the skin too so wrinkles will appear reduced and it leaves the skin looking more firm and supple, it's the perfect product to whack on before you apply your foundation!

So lets get down to business, how much is the box gonna cost ya....Theres 3 different payments you can choose from when subscribing to British Beauty Box, you can opt to pay monthly which will cost £25.00, or you can pay £50.00 quarterly which will save you 30% on the monthly subscription which I think is the best deal as it makes the price around £16.00 of so a month, or you can do a one time payment of £175.00 for a full years worth of British Beauty Boxes!

As you can see this box contains some cracking products to help keep your skin looking absolutely beautiful, I'm really impressed with the contents and actually didn't expect to receive such luxury 'high-end' products if I'm honest! I also love that British Beauty Box pop a little gift bag into the box too so if theres something your not really feeling you can share it with your nearest and dearest, what a nice touch!

Keep Your Brows And Lips Locked With Lipcote!

Hey beauts!

Keeping your makeup set into place is key, we all love our setting sprays and mists and lets face it most of us just couldn't be without them now but locking in my lips and brows is something I didn't do until just recently!

Lipcote & Co's latest launch is Browcote*, a waterproof brow gel that locks in your brows during workouts and daily life, and it can be used on bare brows or on top of your usual brow make-up. To be honest I never wear my brows bare, I always need to do a little shaping and filling in so I use Browcote on top of my brow pencil or powder, this sets my brows into place like nothing else and the tiny little brush slicks through every single little brow hair leaving a fluffy more natural look to my brows which I adore! Don't worry about your brows going crispy or flaky either because that hasn't happened to me at all, they do feel a little textured but other than that they are set into place and ready to take on the day! I also love how this is a clear brow gel because it will literally suit everyone's brows and you don't have the worry of it being too dark or light for your brows!

If you want your favourite lip colour to last like nothing else - I'm talking even after eating, drinking and of course a little smooch then the original OG Lipcote* is where the parties at! This stuff brings back so many memories for me because me and my friends used to use Lipcote in high school to keep that 90's lip on all day, and truth be told I haven't used the stuff for a super long time until recently and as soon as I whacked it on my lips again it took me right back to those school days! If your new to Lipcote all you have to do to use it is apply your lipstick as normal then blot with a tissue and then repeat the process again; then evenly brush Lipcote over your lips and slightly beyond your lipstick and leave to set for a minute or so, then your lipstick will be transfer proof and water resistant, it will last longer and wont feather at all which is particularly good for darker colours and reds! The only niggle I would say is that my lips can become a little dry as the day goes on but other than that this stuff is pretty impressive! 

Have you tried Browcote yet beaut's or are you a long time lover of Lipcote? I'd love to know!

You can find Browcote for £6.99 HERE and Lipcote for £3.69 HERE.
