May Glossybox Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! This month Glossybox have been getting into the Summer mood and have bought us a 'Summer's Calling' themed box with the promise of three full size products and two samples. I must admit I wasn't blown away by this months contents, but next months box is going to be festival and summer inspired apparently so I'm definitely going to stay subscribed so see what Junes box holds. 

 Anywhoo lets see what I received inside my May Glossybox...

MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand in Midnight Storm | Full Size | £6.95

Blue eyeliner is a key trend for Spring 2015 so this dual ended eyeshadow stick is all you need to achieve that look. One end of the eyeshadow stick is a deep metallic blue shade and the other is a metallic turquoise shade, both of which do contain some minute glitter sparkles but nothing too over the top. The texture and consistency of the eyeshadow stick is lovely,  its very light and creamy which can be blended without much difficulty at all. The only downside for me with this is that the shade is very wearable for me because I'm stuck in my neutral ways and would of loved it to have been gold or bronze, never the less I'll still give a go somehow as the formula seems gorgeous!

Collection Field Day Lipstick in Pink Rose | Full Size | £2.99
Collection recently launched their new Field Day range and I've been dying to try something from that range so I'm super happy to have one of the lipsticks to try. I received the shade 'Pink Rose' which is a gorgeous pastel pink shade with a matte finish, it's the perfect colour for daytime wear during Spring and I cant wait to start using it.

Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel | Full Size | £15.93
The Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel seems perfect for using in the summer months or whilst your away on holiday as it not only soothes the skin but cools and hydrates too. It has a watery gel consistency that's very easy to work with, all you have to do is apply a sufficient amount to face and neck in upwards motions and voila... You'll have soothed skin before you know it.

Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam | Sample | £7.95  for Full Size
Now this sounds interesting and claims to be the next generation of dry shampoo, ohhhhh! The Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo is in foam form not a spray like usual dry shampoo's, to use all you have to do it pump out a generous amount of the foam onto your hand and then massage it in directly on your scalp to lift the dirt and grease, immediately remove the foam with a towel by using a towel drying motion. I have used the foam once so far and did like the results, it smelt lovely just like sweet apples and left my hair shiny and refreshed with no stickiness so I'm looking forward to working with this more. 

SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate | Sample | £12.00 for Full Size
The SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate is a skin treatment to use post-shave or post-wax to soothe the skin and reduce hair regrowth. It contains salicylic acid and fruit enzymes which delicately exfoliate to ensure ingrown hairs are a thing of the past. I love the sound of this product and cant wait to give it a go, anything to help prep my legs for exposure in the warmer months is good to me!

 What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.

Yankee Candle 'Beach Holiday' Votive Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Yankee Candle have recently launched lots of new scents for Spring and Summer 2015 so of course being the Yankee Candle lover that I am I just had to go and stock up. I quickly made my way over to my local garden centre which has a huge range of Yankee Candle's and found their Life's A Beach Collection and their Cafe Culture Collection, I picked up a few candles from each collection which I'll be reviewing over the next few weeks but today I have Beach Holiday (£1.80) to review for you all.

Beach Holiday is described as a clean, fresh scent of ocean air which is so real you can practically feel the salt spray, which I have to say is a pretty on point description. I must admit because of it's beachy theme I was expecting Beach Holiday to smell more like sun cream and coconut but actually it's very fresh and smells extremely 'beachy',  it's just like when you go to the beach and it has that particular sea air smell.... well that's exactly what Beach Holiday smells like, but with some added floral notes which makes it the most amazing fragrance that perfect for the Summer.

All the Yankee Candle votive/samplers claim to provides up to 15 hours of fragrance but personally I've found that Beach Holiday has lasted me so much longer because it kicks off such a strong scent, I literally only have to have Beach Holiday lit for around an hour and that's enough to fragrance my entire house which is amazing and such great value.

You can find the entire Life's A Beach Collection on the Yankee Candle Website with prices starting from £1.49 to £19.99. 

What's your favourite scent from Yankee Candle's new collections?? I'd love to know beaut's!!

Makeup Revolution 'Mermaids Forever' Eyeshadow Palette Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Makeup Revolution seem to be constantly on fire with their amazing new launches... Their original revolutionary priced makeup line definitely proved popular with all of us makeup and beauty lovers and since then they've just gone from strength to strength releasing lots of gorgeous new makeup for us all to feast our eyes on and drool over ha ha. This time around Makeup Revolution have created a mesmerising palette named 'Mermaids Forever*' that contains 32 ultra professional eye shadows with a colourful, aquatic, mermaid theme that will only set you back an affordable £8.00, that works out at just 25p per eyeshadow, wowza!!
The 'Mermaids Forever' palette comes packaged in a shiny blue cardboard box which really reflects the shades that can be found inside the palette. The eye shadows their selves are placed inside Makeup Revolutions classic, large, glossy style packaging which comes complete with a good sized mirror inside which is always greatly appreciated. As I said before the 'Mermaids Forever' palette contains 32 eye shadows in total with a mixture of matte, shimmer and metallic finishes and is packed full of vibrancy and colour! I love how the eyeshadow pans in the palette are laid out, as you can see the first row in the palette has four shades of pearly, creams then you have the four shades or orange to play with going from light to dark, then four shades of pink again going from light to dark and then so on with the purples, blues, greens, bronzey/browns and the palette finishes with greys and blacks.
Now I know that this palette might to be for everyone because of it's brightness and colour but personally I think 'Mermaids Forvever' is a palette everyone should own because you've got all the colours you'd ever need in one palette. You could easily create daytime looks with this palette buy adding subtle pops of colour around different area's of the eyes, something I like to do in the Summer is add some colour smudged on my lower lash line, I find it's a great way to use colour if play a bit safe with your eyeshadow like I do he he.  
As always I don't really have any complaints on the eye shadow's quality, Makeup Revolution seem to make such amazing eye shadows don't they he he. Each eyeshadow within the 'Mermaids Forever' palette is packed full of pigmentation, especially the metallic/shimmer finish shadows and are all super soft to swatch, easy to work with and blend out a treat. I would suggest using the cream/ivory shades in the palette as shimmery highlights as they do appear quite sheer but work great at adding that gorgeous highlighted glow which I love. They eye shadows also last great on my oily eyelids without any creasing or fading most of the day, however I have been using Makeup Revolutions Aqua Seal-Primer as a base recently because my lids seem to get a lot more oily when the weathers warmer and more humid and it seems to work really well.
What do you think of the new Mermaids Forever palette beaut's?? I'd love to know!!
