my handmade jewellery for sale

Hi everyone,

I got a few emails from my lovely followers asking me if I could list some handmade jewellery for sale.
I got crafty and here is some items I am selling. They are available in my Etsy store here.

Bracelet made of waxed cord in pink and purple, with a pink resin rose and a heart shaped magnetic clasp closure. 

Bracelet made of waxed cord in two shades of blue with a mint green rose and heart shaped magnetic clasp closure.

Bracelet made of waxed cord in blue and white with 3 mint green roses and heart shaped magnetic clasp closure.

Set of three adjustable rings

Set of 4 hair pins

Black Matte nails with Mermaids Dream dots :)

I have seen so many manicures with a matte finish on Pinspire that I decided to try my own. Here is the outcome.
I used MUA nail polish in black (I hate the brush-terrible finish), no7 matte top coat and Deborah Lippmann Marmaid's Dream for dots.
PS. I seriously need to stop using glitter on my nails... they are in terrible condition and need intense treatment... :(

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Review

Hello ladies,
I received this tinted moisturiser about 2 weeks ago and I have been using it every day. I spend most of my days at home with my baby, so I don't need to put make up on every day. That's when tinted moisturisers become my best friend ;)

LIZ EARLE SHEER SKIN TINT 40ml* £21 link

INFO:The perfect way to enhance your skin. Our rich and creamy, yet lightweight formula leaves all skin types looking naturally dewy, even and radiant. With mineral UV SPF15, it’s enriched with our own blend of natural source vitamin E, borage and avocado, specially selected to work in harmony with our skincare range.

Apply a little Sheer Skin Tint onto forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, then blend with fingertips over your face.Suitable for all skin types

MY OPINION: I love how light it feels on my skin. It leaves my skin looking fresh and covers most imperfections. I use  concealer undernetah my eyes and on my red nose :) and apply the Sheer Skin Tint with my fingers. Some people like to use a buffing brush for application, but I tried it and I prefer using my fingertips. It is a moisturiser, so it blends into my skin easily. The covereage is light to medium and it gives a dewy finish. It is absolutely perfect in every single way. I applied it about 11.00 and in the evening my face still looked really nice. If you want to touch up your make up during the day, it is the easiest thing and you only need your fingers to do it :) I can't find anything bad to say about it. It has got SPF15 which is very important to me. You can choose from three shades. I picked no 02 in beige and it looks very natural on my skin, that goes from light olive to very tanned. If you are looking for a good tinted moisturiser, made with natural ingredients, I highly recommend this one.

I am very excited about the launch of the Liz Earle Colour capsule collection. I am sure the products will be amazing. To be the first to hear about it register your details at www.lizearle.com/colour

And here is my Sunday face, with Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint,

MUA blusher, Apicare lip butter and simple eye makeup.

Apicare Manuka Honey Lip butter with pomegranate review

Hello my lovelies!

I was planning to add my April Glossybox review today, but... I got the red "Something for you" card through the door :/ I don't know how that happened. I was in all day... I will pick up the parcel tomorrow and review my box on Sunday.

Here is a quick review of Apicare lip butter I have been using for over a week. I wrote a review of Apicare moisturisers before, so feel free to have a look here.

Apicare Manuka Honey Lip Butter with pomegranate 8g* £7.50 link

INFO: This 100% natural lip balm contains NZ beeswax, active UMF 16+ Manuka honey, plant oils and plant butters to hydrate and moisturise your lips, with the added benefit of a natural sunscreen to protect.
Key benefits:Natural zinc oxide provides SPF15 protection from damaging UVA and UVB rays. Pure New Zealand Beeswax and active UMF16+ Manuka honey work with natural plant oils & butters to give a thick, creamy long lasting lip balm. Pure essential oils give a yummy subtle flavour to this lip balm.

MY OPINION: I really like this lip balm/butter. It is highly moisturising and leaves my lips really soft and smooth. I use it anytime I feel like my lips need moisture, about 5 times a day :)
Like other Apicare products, you need the tiniest amount so it will last for a few months if I keep using it 5 times a day. The flavour and scent are delicate and all natural. It contains SPF 15 so you don't need to worry about sun protection :) The consistency is quite thick when it comes out of the tube, but as soon as you put it on your lips it melts and feels lovely and smooth. I noticed that consistency changes in different temperatures, the colder it is, the thicker it gets.

It also gives my lips a nice light pink(ish) sheer. Gorgeous!
I also like the packaging, you need to admit- it is really cute.

Edible Manicure with Purple Glitter Sugar :)

Don't think I am crazy! :) I do not wear edible glitter on my nails all day. The reason why I am doing this is the fact that I like to try crazy ideas on my nails.
Many of you said that the caviar/fish egg manicure looks good enough to eat and it makes you think about sweets :) So here is something that is edible :) I hope you like it.

Yves Rocher Riche Creme and Elixir 7.9 review. Perfect anti-aging combination!

Hi everyone.

I am finally back to normal with my posts. My husband installed PhotoShop on his PC, I got an app called Blogsy for my iPad and I got a new card for my SLR. What about my laptop? Still dead...

Today I am sharing a review of a perfect anti-aging solution I discovered recently. Now, I know what you're thinking... Anti-aging at 24? Well... Yes!

I have got wrinkles on my forehead! But that's not the only reason why I started using anti-aging products. The damaging effects of the sun will soon start to appear on my face, so I would rather start preventing it now than cry later :) I always use sun protection in various forms during the day and I started using anti-aging creams and serums at night time.

I always liked Yves Rocher products, especially their Bio Night Lotion, so I was very happy to be given an opportunity to test their anti-aging range. I picked Elixir 7.9 Youth Intensifier and Riche Creme.

If you haven't heard about Yves Rocher, have a look at their website. There is hundreds of products to choose from and I am sure you will find something suitable for you at a great price. You also get a free gift with every order! Here is a link to the Yves Rocher website www.yves-rocher.co.uk

PS. I am sorry for the reflection of my chair and me in the gold packaging :)

Yves Rocher Elixir 7.9 Youth Intensifier 30ml* £35 link

INFO: Elixir 7.9 Youth Intensifier is to be used every day, morning and evening, under your usual anti-age care to greatly increase its rejuvenating effectiveness or, as a 1-month intensive treatment 2 to 3 times per year, when your skin needs it.
Visible effects:Smoothes wrinkles, Refined skin texture, New skin effect, Firmer skin, Boosted radiance.
Suitable for all women and all skin types. Paraben-free formula and tested under dermatological supervision.

MY OPINION: I love the light formula of this elixir/serum. You only need a tiny drop to massage into your face and it sinks in right away. It smells really nice, not too strong. I use it in the morning, before applying moisturiser and foundation and at night time followed by Yves Rocher Riche Creme. I noticed that my skin became really firm and radiant and the wrinkles on my forehead seem to be less visible.

I really like this light serum and and I will keep using it at night time to increase effectivness of my anti-ageing creams.

Yves Rocher Riche Creme Intense Regenerating Care 75ml* £36 link

INFO:A complete skin care: a day cream and a night cream in one Pot! An unprecedented combination of 30 Precious Oils were selected for their excellence to provide skin with the ultimate nutrition, replenishment, and anti-wrinkle care. This exceptional and highly effective anti-aging cream will nourish your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Newly replenished, your skin feels soft and smooth. May be used daily, day and night, or as an intensive treatment.
Deep Regenerating Cream includes a unique combination of 30 precious oils selected for their excellence. Rich in active anti-aging essentials, it gives the skin the nutrition and the ultimate renewal it needs.
MY OPINION: This cream feels like luxury enclosed in a gold pot. That's how I can describe it in one sentence. First of all- I love the packaging. It is a limited edition version to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Riche Creme line. The gold jar is made of thick plastic and it looks absolutely beautiful.The texture of the cream feels thick and luxurious. The smell reminds me of my mums anti-wrinkle creams that I used to try when I was younger :) Sorry mum :) I always loved trying beauty products. I use this cream as part of my night time skin care routine, after using the Elixir 7.9. It isn't absorbed by my skin right away, I wait about 5 minutes before I put my head on the pillow. I can't believe how nourished and soft my skin feels after using these two products together. I am very impressed!

Saving- Depotting Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Hello my lovelies!

I was organising my make up last week and I found two bottles of Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. One is over 1 year old and "empty" and one is brand new. The funny thing is... they were the same weight. I remembered that I seen a post about "depotting" the UD primer and I thought, I will give it a go to see... I was shocked!!! I sliced the tiny bottle with a sharp knife (I also sliced my finger, so be careful!) and it was FULL!!! I was convinced that there was no product left... Now... see what was inside:

Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday + Rimmel London Clouds

Hello everyone!
Another post with pictures taken with my digital camera :/ I can't believe I haven't received my new card yet. Anyway... I bought a set of Deborah Lippmann polishes "Get This Party Started" a couple of weeks ago and I have been trying different manicures with it. My favourite must be Happy Birthday over a white base. It looks lovely. The set wasn't a great purchase, but I will do a seperate post about it.
PS. Excuse my cuticles :/

LOVE xxx

My laptop is still dead and I lost my Xd card for my SLR, so I am adding some pictures of my cute baby boy today. I have got many posts planned for this week, including reviews of Yves Rocher Cream and serum, He-Shi bronzer, Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint and Apicare Lip butter, NOTD posts and my Forever 21 haul. As soon as I get my charger and a new card I will be back on track :) I was expecting a delivery today... I hope I get both tomorrow...
SO here is my cute angel :)
