Bobbi Brown Nectar & Nude Eye Palette



I've been lusting after this palette since the launch of the Nectar & Nude Collection, so the fact that it is finally mine makes me really, really  happy :) I was lucky to be offered a chance to review a beauty product from Debenhams and I didn't have to think twice about my choice :) Surprisingly, this is my first Bobbi Brown product ever, which might sound ridiculous coming from a beauty blogger, but... it looks like I might turn into a Bobbi Brown addict and I totally blame this stunning palette! It features a nice selection of neutrals, with four matte shades and two shimmers and it suits all skin tones and eye colours.

Crownbrush 626 'Starter Kit' Brush Set


I love makeup brushes and I probably own far too many already, but... I was really excited to try the new 626 Brush Set* by Crownbrush. It is described as the perfect starter kit and I couldn't agree more. It comes with 11 good quality brushes wrapped in a faux leather brush wrap and retails at £39.99. The set launched yesterday and you can now buy it from www.crownbrush.co.uk. 

What beauty products do you like to receive as gifts?


I am pretty sure that many of you received an awkward beauty present in the past. I know I have... I think that beauty bloggers are extremely hard to buy for, unless you are always up to date with their makeup collection and current wishlist :) haha. Beauty gifts in general can be very tricky to pick and that's why Debenhams created a survey to find out the preferred beauty products people love as presents. The findings of the survey will be promoted on Debenhams social media platforms as well as blog and online publications and I can't wait to find out the outcome. Today I would like to show you my personal top three beauty gifts and... ask you what beauty products you love receiving as gifts yourself?

Urban Decay Naked Lip Glosses

Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing Gloss* £14.00 each

These have been on my radar for a while, but I wasn't too sure what shade I should get. Many bloggers mentioned that all the colours look very similar on the lips (which could be the case if you compare all of the nude ones, or have super pigmented, dark lips), but I was pleasantly surprised with the selection I was kindly sent to try out. They all have different hues, look stunning on the lips and feel really luxurious.

Let’s dive into some straightforward strategies that can help you rejuvenate your health and wellness journey.

Ole Henriksen Truth To Go Wipes


I am totally against using wipes as a 'cleansing method', but I always have a packet of good quality face wipes in my stash and my favourite ones are the Ole Henriksen Truth To Go Wipes. Actually... they are the only wipes I have been using since last April/May, when I discovered them in a WIMH Ole Henriksen Discovery Kit. 

Urban Decay Electric Palette - review and swatches

Urban Decay Electric Palette* (£38.00)

I am a self-confessed Urban Decay addict and I consider their eye shadows THE BEST on the market. I am pretty sure that everyone who knows their formula will definitely agree with me. Their new Electric Palette was designed with colour addicts in mind, containing 10 insanely bright pressed pigments, with 8 of them being totally new and 2 featured in previous limited edition palettes. There is a nice selection of matte and shimmers, all super pigmented and and with a velvety texture.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush - Mood Exposure


I couldn't resist ordering another stunning Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush (£28.00) and I settled on Mood Exposure this time. I am still obsessed with Radiant Magenta, but I wanted something for days when I don't have too much time to do my makeup and need a multi-tasking cheek colour.

Big Green Smile Giveaway (£50 and £25 vouchers)


Big Green Smile stock some of my favourite natural brands and they kindly offered my readers a chance to win some vouchers to spend on their website. You can see some of my favourite products you could buy with the vouchers on the photo above, including Antipodes, Weleda, Korres, Dr Hauschka, Jason, Green People, Organic Surge, Burt's Bees and more.

Quick Noodle Soup Recipe


Hi everyone. I hope you are having a lovely, relaxed Sunday :) As promised, here is the recipe for my favourite noodle soup I mentioned on Instagram a couple of times. I can't take all the credit for it though, because it was originally  my husbands creation. He made it for me when I was ill a couple of months ago and I have been making it at least twice a week since then, adding my own twist to it and trying different flavours. It is really quick to make (takes about 20 minutes), filling and relatively healthy, depending on the ingredients you use.

Beauty wishlist / online basket


I am trying to use up as many products as I can before buying new ones, but my current feelunique basket is full of skincare/body care and hair care items and I am really tempted to click 'proceed to checkout' right now :) I actually need a new exfoliating toner and emergency face wipes, so I will have to place a cheeky order this weekend anyway, but I am not sure if my budget allows me to buy all of the product mentioned in this post :)

Love Me Beauty Box - March 2014


This month's  Love Me Beauty Box* (£10.00 + £2.95 P&P) features a really nice selection of product, including many brands I haven't tried before and some I already know from previous beauty boxes. There is makeup, skin care, body care and even a sample of toothpaste and pretty falsies! Six products in total and all of them quite exciting.

Fitbit Flex Review. Is it worth the price tag?


I am obsessed with my Polar FT4 Fitness Watch and it was the best investment ever, so I was very excited to try the Fitbit Flex* when I received it as a gift recently. It is a little device designed to track steps, distance, and calories burned and help you achieve your daily goals. Sounds good right? I got the pink version, which retails at £79.99 at the moment, but... is it worth the price tag?

Mother's Day Gift Ideas +discount for Debenhams Flowers


Mother's Day is one of the most special days of the year and since I became a mum myself, I can fully understand how much effort, tears and love goes into motherhood. It is a special bond, one words simply cannot describe! In 2014, we will be celebrating Mother's Day on the 30th of March, which is very soon and if you are stuck for ideas and need some inspiration, here are some of my top picks.

'Pink Diamond' Steamcream and 20% off code for my readers


With it's stunning selection of tin designs and a unique formula, STEAMCREAM is one of the most popular moisturisers on the market. It is also very affordable and makes a wonderful gift. I got my first tin last year and I can't recommend it enough. 

Healthy, vegan banana & coconut ice cream recipe


I shared a picture of this delicious dessert on my instagram and many of you were surprised with how easy it was to make. Ice-cream  ready in 5 minutes, made with only two ingredients? Yep! It couldn't be more simple to make. All you need to prepare it are frozen bananas, desiccated coconut and a food processor.  Healthy, clean (whatever you want to call it) and... absolutely delicious!

1/3 off French Pharmacy Brands at Escentual


If you love French skincare, you will be delighted to know that Escentual are offering up to 1/3 off all their French brands throughout the month of March! As you can see, I have a bit of a soft spot for Vichy, Caudalie, La Roche Posay and Nuxe and here are some of my recommendations worth ordering with the amazing discount!

Spring Giveaway


Hi everyone! It's giveaway time! I haven't done a proper one since last year, so I decided to put a bundle of makeup and body care together to give you a chance to try some lovely products. You can enter by filling in the rafflecopter widget  below. Good luck! :)

Timothy Dunn London Oud Home Candle


I love luxury candles and I have a big collection of various scents, but... 'Oud' by Timothy Dunn London definitely stands out from the rest of my stash :) It is inspired by the 'majesty of ancient Persian cities and the intense heat of the Middle Eastern desert' and it smells like a luxurious oriental palace. Simply beautiful!

Kiko Boulevard Rock Collection


I discovered Kiko last summer, but since they opened their London stores, they are becoming more popular in UK. I was kindly sent a few pieces from their new Boulevard Rock Collection and even though the colours I got might seem a bit crazy to most gals out there, there are more wearable shades available too and some of the products are worth checking out, especially the cream eyeshadows.

February 2014 Favourites


Some people hate this time of the month and complain that their bloglovin feed is full of favourites posts and videos.. I am not sure why... because I absolutely loooove writing my 'favourites posts' and I also look forward to reading what other bloggers and vloggers have been loving. I discovered many incredible products last month and I can't wait to tell you more about them.

Rihanna Rogue EDP Review

Rihanna Rogue EDP* 75ml £33.00

I wouldn't class myself as a Rihanna fan, but when I received her new EDP, I actually really loved the design. With little spike details on the bottom, rose gold accents and an unusal, textured bottle cap, it would look lovely on any dressing table. Unfortunately, when I spritzed myself with the perfume, I was left massively disappointed.  I always mention that I am not fussy with scents (which is 100% true), but there is one kind of perfume I don't like and Rihanna's new concoction is exactly what I avoid in perfumes. Let me explain why....
