ADEXE Mini Sistine Watch in Rose Gold!

Hey beaut's!

I absolutely love ADEXE watches, I have two watches from them already which have practically lived on my wrist ever since I got them however recently ADEXE have launched their brand new Miniature Sistine collection which got me super excited! This particular  collection is super feminine and dainty because of it's smaller design, its available in multiple colour ways and has a lower price point with prices starting from £79.00. I actually have one of the original ADEXE Sistine watches so I was really intrigued to see how the mini version would compare, plus anything miniature is always a winner in my book!

This time around I opted for the Mini Sistine in Rose Gold with a black face, you can also get this particular watch with a white, rose gold or blue face too! The watch itself  has a hand-made mesh band with an easy adjustable open spring bar so you can get the perfect fit for you, I love this because theres nothing worse than having to get links taken out or punching extra holes in a strap is there! The watch face is made out of  hand-polished stainless steel and is well proportioned despite the mini design, it's also quite lightweight but still robust and well made, and the numbers are clear and easy to read. The watch also comes with a 2-3 year battery life which I think is pretty epic and activates once you take a tiny stopper out of the mechanism which adjusts the time so you get the most battery life out of your watch as possible! All of the ADEXE watches come with a set of extra straps in black or brown too which I think is such a nice added bonus and makes the watch more versatile!

Overall I'm so in love with my new ADEXE beauty! The watch not only looks stunning, it feels so well made and luxurious, it's comfortable, and more importantly it keeps me on time for work (lol), it also looks super cute in the background of Instagram pictures - oh it's all about the gram isn't it beaut's he he. I'd also really recommend this collection if you have smaller wrists like me and find bigger watch faces tend to take over your wrist, this watch is really dainty and really suits my smaller wrists if that makes sense, I love it!

I've always loved the look of ADEXE watches, seeing them online or someone modelling one on Instagram or Twitter always left love hearts in my eyes, trust me you'll feel the same once you've had a nosey he he!

BH Cosmetics Chic 14 Piece Brush Set Review

Hey beaut's!

I'm a serious makeup brush addict, I just cant resist collecting makeup brushes and putting them to the test and recently I got the most beautiful makeup brushes by BH Cosmetics to try. I'm totally new to BH Cosmetics so I had no idea what to expect from these brushes but I have to put it straight out there... I love them!

The BH Cosmetics Chic Brush Set* consists of 14 cruelty free - synthetic brushes which all have gorgeous peach/rose gold coloured handles and two tones bristles, I mean just look how lovely they are, they even come with a matching cosmetics bag too! The set includes all the essentials you need for the face, eyes and lips from beautifully blended eye make-up looks, to sharp on point brows, pouty lips and even a flawless base, the list is literally endless with what you can do with these beauties! Because the brushes are synthetic they can all be used with creams, powders and liquids and honestly beaut's, these are hands down the softest brushes I have ever felt in my entire makeup obsessed life! They feel so gentle and fluffy against my skin and are not scratchy in the slightest!

Here's a full rundown of the brushes within the set, going from left to right in the above picture.....

1. Angled Powder Brush - Perfect for setting powder, bronzer and contour.

2. Medium Powder Brush - Perfect for bronzer and blusher.

3. Small Powder Brush - I've actually used this to buff in liquid foundation and for powder highlighting and it works amazingly at both.

4. Angled Crease Brush - The perfect crease blender as well as highlighting smaller area's of the face like the nose, cupids bow and brow bones.

5. Medium Flat Eyeshadow Brush - Great for packing on glitter shadow.

6. Medium Oval Eyeshadow Brush - Great for packing on eyeshadow.

7. Eyeshadow Blending Brush - An essential for blending out all eyeshadow work.

8. Concealer Brush - For blending in concealer around the eyes or striping on cream contour.

9. Small Concealer Brush - For concealing blemishes and smaller hard to reach areas.

10. Flat Eyeliner Brush - Great for carving out brows with concealer.

11. Angled Eyeliner Brush - Perfect for applying gel eyeliner or filling in brows.

12. Oval Lip Brush - Great for creating the perfect pout.

13. Standard Lip Brush - Much like the oval lip brush this one is also great for getting the perfect pouty lips.

14. Precision Eyeliner Brush - The most precise eyeliner brush.

It's hard to choose my favourite brushes out of the 14 because I've actually been using them all a lot and their all so versatile, the Angled Crease Brush and the Eyeshadow Blending Brush have been my essentials when it comes to well blended eyeshadow looks, they literally blend like a dream, and the Medium Flat Eyeshadow Brush has been my go to when I want to pack colour onto my lids! The three face brushes I have been using every single day for setting powder, bronzer and highlighter and the Angled Eyeliner Brush I've actually been using for my brows which works a treat!

Overall I'm so impressed with this 14 Piece Set by BH Cosmetics, you honestly wouldn't need any other brushes at all if you got this set because it has everything and each brush is so versatile. They all work like a dream too and never shed, they look absolutely stunning and they are the softest brushes I own, what more could you ask for! My first experience of trying BH Cosmetics has definitely been a good one and now I really want to try some of their makeup too, their palettes look lush!

Girls With Attitude Rainbow Brushes Reviewed!

Hi beaut's!

Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how beautiful these GWA Makeup Brushes are, oh my goodness I'm in love with them! I was actually lucky enough to win these makeup brushes as part of a twitter giveaway, I couldn't believe it because I never usually win anything ever! Since winning these little beauties I haven't stopped using them, I have a few of GWA's brushes from their original Fairytale Collection which I love but these....wow these are just stunning, and I thought it was about time they had their time to shine on my blog!

The Girls With Attitude Rainbow Collection consists of 10 cruelty free, vegan,  synthetic brushes for the face and the eyes, each brush has super soft hand-crafted ombré bristles going from turquoise to purple and then hot pink and are finished off with metallic rose gold/copper tinted handles, oh my I just cant get over how pretty these are! Within the set their are 6 face brushes and 4 eye brushes, so GWA have you fully covered for applying a full face of makeup. Here's the lowdown on whats exactly in the set....

Large Dome Powder Brush - a gorgeous big fluffy brush perfect for using with my setting powder to set my foundation in place, it's also great for bronzing up the skin too.

Angled Bronzer Brush - as the name would suggest this is the perfect brush to bronze and contour with, it's shape really cuts and sculpts the cheek bones whilst blending everything flawlessly at the same time.

Tapered Sculptor Brush - this one is great for applying powder blush to the cheeks, it's fluffy yet domed shape fits on the apples of my cheeks perfectly and again I've used this one with bronzer too and it works beautifully.

Flat Top Buffing Brush - this one is the most amazing brush for buffing in foundation flawlessly and super quickly, it's one of my favourites within the collection for sure.

Tapered Illuminator Brush - this one is perfect for either setting concealer into place or applying highlighter with which is my favourite way to use this brush, arhhh it makes my highlighter look incredible.
Flat Top Small Angled Buffing Brush - I like to use this brush in a couple of ways really, it's the perfect size to blend concealer in under the eyes or on blemishes, it's also great for pin-point contouring around the smaller areas of the face. I've even used it as a finishing brush to blend out my eyeshadow work, it's such a versatile brush.

Fluffy Tapered Blending Eye Brush - I love a fluffy blending brush to blend out all of my eyeshadow work flawlessly and if theres one fluffy brush that will get that job done with ease it's this one, I love it!

Angled Blending Eye Brush - this is another great brush for blending out eyeshadow work and it's angle means it fits so snug in the crease and can help build up some depth of colour whilst you blend.

Firm Flat Eye Shading Brush - this has been my go to brush for packing on colour all over my lid, it's shape and size is just perfect for it.

Precision Smudge Brush - I love popping eyeshadow underneath my eye and this little brush is perfect for that, it's also great for packing on inner corner highlight too.

Overall I am so impressed with these brushes, not only do they look stunning on my dresser but they are so easy to work with, blend my makeup like a dream and they even wash up well too without any shedding bristles. I also love that GWA sell all the brushes within the Rainbow Collection individually as well as in their set, this is great if you fall in love with a certain brush within a set and would like more than one to play with, I'd definitely like to add another Buffing Brush and Tapered Blending Eye Brush to my collection so I'll be treating myself to those very soon.

Barry M NEW Molten Metal Nail Paint in Pink Ice Review

Hey beaut's!

Barry M recently added five new nail polish shades to their existing Molten Metal Collection and I couldn't wait to check them out seeing as I was such a big fan of the shade Copper Mine from last years collection. All five of the new shades are stunning and range from blue metallics to a bright gold and theres even a black metallic that's been thrown in for good measure, but there was one shade that stood out to me the most that I knew I just had to buy to try first which was Pink Ice.

Pink Ice is the most stunning metallic shade for Spring/Summer, it's a pinky-rose gold foil looking shade with silver shimmers that catch the light beautifully. The formula of Pink Ice is lovely, it applies evenly and smooth without any bubbling or streaking and dries super quickly too which is such a bonus as I hate waiting for nail polish to dry. Their are two things that really surprised me in a good way about this nail polish, the first being just how long it lasts on my nails with just two thin coats, it was honestly on my nails a good 4-5 days before I noticed some slight wear at the very end of my nails and I had no major chipping what so ever! The second was just how easy it was to remove, shimmery -metallic or glitter polishes are such a pain to remove usually but I honestly had no trouble what so ever with this.

Overall I really cant recommend the Barry M Molten Metal nail polishes enough, the quality is so good and the shade Pink Ice is just so pretty on the nails, I also love teaming it up with pastel pink nail polishes at the moment and using it as my accent nail polish colour, it looks lush!

Have you tried any of the new Barry M Molten Metal Nail Paint shades beaut's? Which is your favourite? I'd love to know!

You can find Pink Ice along with the rest of the Molten Metal Nail Paint Collection for £3.99 HERE.

Esqido False Lashes and Lash Glue Review

Hey beaut's!

False lashes are something I absolutely love but only ever wear on special occasions or nights out, I think they can pull a whole look together and when wearing the right pair for you they can look absolutely beautiful against your eyeshadow work. I've recently been road testing a couple of pairs of Esqido's False Eyelashes from there Mink Collection and the Esqido Companion Eyelash Glue, I have tried Esqido lashes before and loved them but I've never tried them with the Esqido glue so I was keen to see the results! 

If you haven't heard about Esqido's Mink Collection, they're handcrafted, cruelty-free lashes that are made of the highest grade, naturally shed Mink hairs, so no harm comes to the animal while the lashes are being made, (insert very happy face he he). The benefit of using mink is that the hairs are much wispier and also taper at the ends, much like our own lashes, which gives a more natural look.

The first pair of lashes out of the two I've been testing are my absolute favourites, there called the Lash Named Desire* and are so pretty. The Lash Named Desire lashes have a sultry combination of criss-crossed lashes with winged out ends which I absolutely love, I'd say they create medium volume and length whilst also appearing quite delicate and not too 'fake' looking which again I love.

The second pair that I've been giving a whirl is the Miss Dolly* lashes, this doll-like style have lash strands that have been evenly distributed with alternating lengths, I find this pair really accentuate my natural lashes and again don't look very 'fake' at all. Something that makes a huge difference for me with Esqido's lashes is that the actual individual lashes sit on a cotton band instead of the usual plastic band, this makes them so much easier to apply, are much more comfortable to wear and they feel much lighter than your typical false lash, in fact I cant even feel them at all once their on.

Esqido also have a Companion Eyelash Glue* ($10.00) which I was looking forward to using as some eyelash glues I've tried before are completely useless but this one is actually brilliant! The glue itself is made up of a gentle mixture which is invisible, has strong all day long hold, is latex free and will keep those lashes in place like no other. The wand is also super easy to use too because it has a tiny fine tip that you can use to paint on the strip of your lashes without getting into a gloopy mess!

Overall I think these are absolutely beautiful lashes, they just pull any eyeshadow look together and make your eyes appear so pretty and fluttery with that obvious fake lash look. I also have to add just how easy these lashes are to apply, I'm usually useless at applying false lashes but didn't find these to difficult at all. The Esqido lashes are also reusable up to 25 times, which somewhat justifies the higher price tag of $35.00 each. Obviously to get the most out of these lashes you do need to take good care of them by removing them in the correct way and storing them safely, so make sure you hang on to the pretty white and rose gold boxes beaut's!

Have you tried any lashes by Esqido beaut's? What did you think? I'd love to know.

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks

Hey beaut's!

Today I'm back to share another really exciting new release from our friends over at Makeup Revolution! This time around Makeup Revolution have released a gorgeous Rose Gold Lipstick Collection* that consists of 5 stunning shades ranging from nude to vamp that retail for just 3 teeny, tiny little pounds each, BARGAIN ALERT! 

The Rose Gold Lipstick Collection really does pack a colourful punch and theres certainly a shade to suit everyone here! As I said before there five shades to collect starting with Red Carpet - a gorgeous pillow box red shade that would be the perfect night out lipstick because it's so glamorous and would go hand in hand with an LBD. Then theres Diamond Life - this is a sophisticated berry red shade which is super autumnal and would be great to transition from the summer to the Autumn. Next up is Girls Best Friend - this is a bright barbie pink that would look amazing through the summer and is so fun and girly. The fourth shade is the collection is Chauffeur - this is my absolute favourite shade which is actually quite surprising because me and nude lipsticks never get a long however this is the perfect shade of nude and I must say it's the only nude lipstick that I've EVER liked that doesn't wash me out! The last lipstick in the collection is Private Members Club - this might look quite scary and almost black in the bullet but it's such a pretty, vampy dark purple shade which again will work great on night out or during the autumn for that statement lip look.

The formula of these lipsticks is lovely, they all have a cream satin finish which is actually my favourite and for any of you gals that are a fan of Mac's satin finish lipsticks like I am then you'll find that Makeup Rev's offering is extremely similar. The lasting power of these is good and last me a good 3-4 before I need to top up however I do find the darker shades last that bit longer which is to be expected really.

Let's talk packaging, I seriously had love hearts in my eye when I first saw these lipsticks, each lippie is packed within a beautiful rose gold bullet which is so on trend and is really going to impress when you take one out of handbag to re-apply. I also love the fact that each lipstick has little cap of the same shade of lipstick in the bottom of each bullet which makes finding your chosen lipstick shade super easy whilst they are in your lipstick holders or storage.

Overall I think the Rose Gold Lipstick Collection is an absolute hit, the shades are stunning the packaging is absolutely gorgeous, I cant fault they quality and they are super affordable at just £3.00, arrhh I just love them so much!

What's your favourite Makeup Revolution lipstick shade from the Rose Gold Collection beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Mini Primark Haul

Hey beaut's!

Last week I went to Norwich and I just had to pop into Primark and see what new bits they had, to be honest I didn't see a great deal that tickled my fancy, I think it's because it's that funny time of year where all the Spring stuff is coming in yet it's still freezing cold here in the UK, never the less I did pick a couple of things up so I thought I would share them with you all today!

The first thing I picked up was a Lace Up Front T-Shirt (£7.00) in a gorgeous berry red shade, I've been after one of these lace up tops for quite a while but never found one that fits me perfect until I tried this beauty on. What I like about this one in particular is that the fabric is really soft but really thick so it's great to wear right now with my little leather jacket!

Then I went and had a look at the shoes and my goodness it was sandal overload, I've honestly never seen so many sandals in one place in my entire life! I ended up going for these cute Diamante Floral Sandals in Black (£6.00), they had these in so many colours but hardly any of them had any size 3's left (I have tiny feet you see) so when I spotted the black pair in a size 3 I just had to nab them to put away for the Summer before they sold out.

Sticking with the Spring/Summer theme I picked up some new sunnies! You literally cant beat Primarks sunglasses, theres so many pairs too choose from and they are so cheap. I went for the pair Primark call the Retro Club master in Brown, I love the shape and style of these and my boyfriend said that he loved them when I tried them on, so for £2.00 they went straight into my basket he he.

Then I ventured upstairs to check out the home ware, I really wish Norwich had a bigger home ware section as I'm slightly obsessed with Primarks home ware. The first thing that caught my eye was one of their candles in French Vanilla (£2.50), this candle smells incredible and so strongly of vanilla, I love it! Also the square copper/rose gold glass jar the the candle comes in is stunning and I will be reusing it somehow on my dressing table, I'm thinking maybe for my eye makeup brushes!

Lastly I picked up this cute watermelon 'Life is Sweet' dome shaped cup with a straw (£3.00), I got this to encourage me to drink more water when I'm at the computer blogging away and it would be great for smoothies and milkshakes too.

Have you picked up any goodies from Primark recently beaut's? I'd love to know!
