Partylite Forbidden Fruits Mini Jar Candle Trio | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

If you've read my blog for a while you'll probably know I'm a huge candle fan, I'm just obsessed and literally have a candle burning everyday in my house because not only does my house then smell amazing everyday but I find candles are just so inviting and homely. I've recently been testing out the Forbidden Fruits Trio by Partylite so of course I thought I'd share my thoughts with you all today.

The Partylite Forbidden Fruits Mini Jar Trio* (£24.95) is as you'd expect gorgeously fruity and exotic smelling making them perfect to burn at this time of year. The three wax candles come in gorgeous decrotaive glass jars that can easily be reusing as either a makeup brush holder, cotton bud holder or for my cotton wool pads, but to be honest the list is endless for the amount of uses the jar's have. 

The first candle within the trio is Pomegranate Passion, this has an obvious pomegranate scent but I also get hits of raspberry, apple and vanilla whilst burning this one, it's super yummy. Next we have Blackberry Boudoir, this has rich, deep wild-berry notes and it's quite woody and musky too. Lastly we have Fig Fatale, I love any candle with a fig scent as they just smell incredible and this ceratinly doesnt dissapoint, it also has that velvety vanilla kick to it which is really nice. Each candle has a burn time of 20-30 hours and really throws out a good amount of scent, literally miutes after lighting these candles the scent starts wafting through my entire house and you can really smell it without it being too strong or overpowering. I tend to burn each candle for around 2 hours and I find thats enough for the scent to linger in my house for hours afterwards which is a major bonus and means you get so many uses out of each candle.

Overall Im so impressed with the Partylite Forbidden Fruits Mini Jar Trio, they really feel and look like such luxious candles and make my house smell absolutly amazing! You can find the Partylite Forbidden Fruits Mini Jar Trio along with the rest of the Forbidden Fruits Collection HERE.

August Glossybox Review ♥

Hi beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! This month Glossybox have gone global on us and have filled our boxes with beauty discoveries from around the world. My box this month actually contains five full size products which I'm super happy about, as much as I loved last months french themed box it was a little lacklustre for me with the majority of the box being little samples, so the fact this months box contains all full sized products pleases me a lot. Anywhoo lets see what I received inside my August Glossybox...

MeMeMe Lipglide in Playful Peach | Full Size | £6.95

Firstly this month we have the MeMeMe Lipglide in Playful Peach, which is a creamy matte pencil that I think would double up well as a blush too. I would say it's more on the coral side rather than peach but I still think it would suit most and is perfect to wear during this final part of the Summer.

Manna Kadar Lash Primer | Full Size | £14.55

I cant tell you how much I love eye lash primers so I was super happy to see Manna Kadar's offering in my box! Manna Kadar's lash primer is designed to be used under your mascara to nourish and condition the lashes and to create lots more volume than your normal mascara would achieve when used on its own. If you haven't tried an eye lash primer before girls knows your chance to see just how much I love them he he.

Emite Artist Colour Powder Blush | Full Size | £20.59

The Emite Powder Blush was actually voted for by us glossies back in May when Glossybox gave us a choice between a blush or brush and as you see the blush won. I must admit for me personally I'll be using this blush as a bronzer because the shade '108' is far too warm and dark for me to use as a blush, although it’ll probably be a more flattering blush shade on darker skin tones. From what I can tell so far the formula seems really lovely and it has such a soft, buttery texture so I'm looking forward to bronzing myself with this little beauty.

Naobay Calming Face Toner | Full Size | £10.65

We had a Naobay facial scrub in one of our Glossy boxes a while back and I used the entire tube up because I loved it so much so I was happy to see something else from the brand to try. This time around we have the Calming Face Toner, this citrus scented liquid toner claims to remove traces of makeup while also cleansing, it also calms and hydrates the skin thanks to the chamomile and gotu kola extracts and is 99.13% natural which is pretty amazing right! I cant wait to give this a go later.

SASS Purifying Cleanser | Full Size | £7.00

Finally we have the SASS Intimate Purifying Cleanser, this little beauty isn't for your face so please don't think it's the kind of cleanser that will remove you makeup because it wont, its actually an intimate cleanser which basically means its a body wash but for your fairy/foof/intimate parts he he. It works as a probiotic to balance the skins PH levels and soothes the skin, it's safe to say it's a good little product for your fairy!

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

L.A.Girl Glazed Lip Paint Review ♥

Hi beaut's!

LA Girl is a brand I've wanted to try for so long, so many of their products are raved about in the beauty world but as they are a US brand it's very hard to get hold of their makeup here in the UK...Until now he he... Beauty Chamber have answered all our prayers by stocking some LA Girl makeup products on their website and I have three of their popular Glazed Lip Paints to share with you all today.

The LA Girl Glazed Lip Paints* (£4.99 each) are described as having an intensely pigmented appearance of a lipstick, with the ease and glossy finish of a lip gloss and provide long lasting, hyper glossy, ultra rich colour to lips, sounds pretty amazing right! The Glazed Collection includes 18 of the most sought after, trendsetting colours this season ranging from pretty nudes to brights to deep berries, so theres certainly a shade to suit everyone in this collection that's for sure. 

Each of the Glazed Lip Paints come in plastic, squeaky tubes with an angled applicator that you can use to apply to the lips directly much like lip balms, however because of how intense these colours are I'd definitely suggest using a lip brush to apply the lip paints otherwise you might find yourself in a bit of a hot mess. 

The three shades I got are Gleam a bright coral with gold shimmer running through it. Bombshell a solid hot pink and Coy is a solid dark lilac. They are all quite bright, garish colours but are so much fun to work with. As you can see each shade has amazing pigmentation and opacity, you only need to apply the smallest amount of the lip paint to cover your lips entirely which is super good. The formula of these is pretty incredible and totally surprised me in a good way, they aren't thick and gloopy like I imagined but instead they have a thin consistency that's easy to work with and blend across your lips. The formula is also super nourishing and doesn't dry out your lips at all and has the added benefits of vitamin E and peppermint oil which makes the lip paints smell and taste like those candy canes you get a Christmas, arrhhh its amazing! Because of the added peppermint oil you do get a slight tingling feeling when you apply the lip paints but nothing over the top or painful which is a plus. 

The finish of the lip paints is glossy, glossy, glossy and isn't at all sticky, your lips feel so moisturised too and the colour really stays put! I think the lip paints would work amazingly well during the winter months when you still want to wear lip colours even though your lips might be super dry, I definitely want to invest in some more wearable shades for the daytime that's for sure. The only downside I have with these is that these brighter shades can bleed ever so slightly, so I always have to line my lips before application with these particular shades but other than that I think the LA Girl Glazed Lip Paints are amazing and I really cant fault them!

Have you tried any of the LA Girl Glazed Lip Paints beaut's?? What shades your favourite?? I'd love to know!
