Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner & Remover Review

I already found my Holy Grail liner and I am not sure, if anything will ever beat it. It's the Bourjois Liner Pinceau. I absolutely love it! I like trying other liners though and the new Benefit They're Real! Push-Up Liner* (£18.50) left me really impressed. It is the first gel liner pen on the market and it officially launched yesterday. 

I ♥ MAKEUP

If you are a makeup addict, you might be interested in the new releases from Makeup Revolution. They launched a new sister brand called I ♥ Makeup last week and I got a chance to try a selection of the new products.

Jimmy Choo EDP Review

Jimmy Choo EDP 60ml* (£29.99)

I've only heard good things about this perfume and everyone seems to love it. From the design of the bottle, to the scent itself, it is perfect! It is also pretty affordable, which is always a bonus.  Jimmy Choo EDP is quite a sensual fragrance, but not your typical floral/sweet combination! It has a lot of character and gives me a boost of confidence.

Stress-free Blogging :)

Let's be honest... some of us freak out about our blogging schedules too much. I definitely find myself worrying about not having a blog post ready for the next day, or not having time to write one at all. I try to be relaxed about it, but the voice in my head keeps reminding me, that I HAVE TO publish a blog post. My 'To Do List' gets longer and longer each week, but you know what? I don't even care anymore and I seriously need a break. This doesn't mean that I will be absent, not at all! I am just starting to enjoy blogging again, after going through some really bad times. At some point last year I was blogging every single day, multiple times a day, but I found myself stressing out too much, so I decided to just relax for a while, as something I absolutely loved turned into a chore and I wasn't happy. I still enjoyed preparing most of the content, but all the admin work was killing me! If blogging isn't you job, don't take it too seriously, relax and keep some of the following tips in mind:

Weekend Pamper #3

After a stressful week and a couple of sleepless nights, thanks to panic attacks and sleep paralysis, I seriously needed a Saturday night pamper session. A good workout made me feel much better and released some endorphins, but I was dying for a long bath and a nice face mask. Here are the products I chose to help me de-stress and relax :)

Love Me Beauty Box June 2014 (Birthday Edition)

This month, Love Me Beauty Box* celebrates it's 1st Birthday and after having a look at the June menus, I opted for Edition 1. The box features five products and four of them are full size. I was actually very excited about the selection of products this month, but was I impressed with them? Let's find out.

Nails Inc Spring/Summer 2014

I really like the formula of Nails Inc polishes and their Summer 2014 collection is right up my street. I love pinks and glitter top coats and I think that they are a perfect combination for a girly manicure with a bit of sparkle. They also released a fantastic latex effect formula and just like their leather effect polish - it is amazing!

Brand Spotlight: Crownbrush (Makeup)

You might remember my Brand Spotlight post about Crownbrush (here), featuring some of their brushes and their amazing brush cleaner. I still love them and use them very often, but today I want to focus on Crownbrush makeup. Yes, they do makeup and... they actually have quite a wide selection of palettes. They are also releasing new liquid foundations very soon and I had a chance to try them before the official launch. 

Everyday Makeup Look / The Face Of Fragrance Direct Entry

I very rarely enter blogger competitions, but I couldn't possibly ignore this one :) 'The Face Of Fragrance Direct Competition' is hosted by Fragrance Direct (one of my favourite online shopping destinations) and The Sunday Girl (one of my favourite beauty bloggers), so it would be rude not to take part :) I wasn't sure what type of entry I should go for, but I thought that showing you my 'Everyday Makeup Look' in a form of a step by step tutorial would be perfect. Let me know what you think :) 

NEW Makeup Revolution Palettes!

I was pleasantly surprised when these new Makeup Revolution Palettes landed on my desk. The brand launched recently, but they are bringing more new products out already! Fantastic! The best bit - it's all cheap as chips, but the quality is incredible for the price! The new launches include five 18 colour eyeshadow palettes, two 8 colour blush & contour palettes, two 8 colour cover and conceal palettes, five 5 colour baked eye shadow palettes and two new bronzers. You can find all the new releases here, but before you head to the website, take a look at the beautifully pigmented swatches of the products and find out more about the formula etc.

Shellac manicure (at home) with USpicy UV/LED Light

I am one of those unlucky people who have weak nails no matter what they do. I can get them to a point when they aren't paper thin by taking supplements and eating a super healthy diet, but they are still weak, split easily and chip after 1 -2 days when I paint them with nail polish. That's why I decided to give Shellac a go, when I was kindly sent the USpicy 24W UV & LED Lamp* to try out.

Massively disappointed with Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner

Eyeko London Skinny Liquid  Eyeliner in Navy (free with Glamour)

After reading tons of rave reviews of the Eyeko Skinny Liner (in black), I was delighted to see it as a magazine freebie in this week's Glamour. £2.00 for a £12.00 liner? Yes, please! I wanted the black one to be honest, but my local supermarkets only had the navy option left. I like experimenting with colours and navy seemed like a perfect Summer shade, so I picked it up and couldn't wait to use it! As soon as I arrived home, I opened the liner and swatched it on my hand. Outcome?

M2 Beaute Perfect Eyes Kit Giveaway (worth £135)

I am all about making my lashes look fuller and longer and I have tried many products to help them grow. My recent discovery is the M2 LASHES Eyelash Activating Serum from the M2 Beaute Perfect Eyes Kit* (£135.00) and I must admit - after just 2 weeks of everyday use, I am starting to notice an improvement! My lashes look slightly thicker and feel stronger (if you can say that about lashes) and I think they are little bit longer too. It is hard to tell, but I can see a difference already. I was kindly sent two of the gift sets. One for me and one to give away to one of my readers :) If you fancy trying this high end set, simply fill in the rafflecopter widget below for a chance to win.

Blog Sale: Hourglass, MAC, Tarte, Burberry, Laura Mercier

My Sk:n Clinic Glasgow consultation + treatment plan for scarring

If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I always mention hormonal breakouts on my jawline and neck. I also complain about all the scarring and redness around those areas and any marks left after occasional blemishes on the rest of my face. I didn't really want to take any pills or antibiotics to deal with my problem, so I waited patiently for my hormones to calm down and I think that my skin is finally at the stage when I can deal with all the damage. That's why I was absolutely ecstatic, when I was contacted by www.sknclinics.co.uk who invited me for a consultation at their Glasgow clinic and offered me a course of treatments I might need to get my skin back to normal. I was considering booking an appointment and treatments anyway, so the timing was absolutely perfect. I went for my first visit last Monday and I am happy to report that I decided to go ahead with the treatments.

Gucci Guilty Intense EDP

Gucci Guilty Intense EDP 50ml* (£44.99)

I've been meaning to try this fragrance since it launched in 2011, but for some reason this is my first bottle of Gucci Guilty Intense Eau de Parfum. If I knew how beautiful it was, I would have added it to my collection ages ago. Why is it so beautiful? Well... it smells like fresh lilacs - one of my favourite flowers. It isn't a simple floral fragrance though. It is much more sophisticated and sexy. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous too and looks and feels very luxurious.

Eucerin products now available at Escentual

If you love skincare, you must have heard about Eucerin. I haven't tried any of their products until last week, but it is quite a popular brand in the blogging community. Eucerin products tackle many skin issues, from hyperpigmentation to dryness and there is something for everyone. I decided to try one of their sun protection products and a brightening nigh cream. Escentual started stocking the brand recently and they are offering 1/3 OFF all their French Pharmacy brands throughout June, including Eucerin, so if you have been curious about their products, you can now try them with a big discount! 

May Favourites

I am a couple of days late with my 'May Favourites'  but they are finally here :) I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year and my baby boy will be 3 years old on the 24th of June! Oh my... I am getting old :) haha. Back to the subject - I have a nice selection of skincare, haircare, bodycare and makeup to share with you and a beautiful fragrance as well.

Brand Spotlight: Claudia Louch Natural Skin Clinic

When it comes to skincare, I try to stick to the brands I know or ones recommended to me by other bloggers. I was very intrigued by the Claudia Louch Natural Skin Clinic range though and the packaging made me want to try it even more. Just look at it - it is stunning! Sleek black containers with a touch of silver and very functional pumps. I had a chance to try the Hydrating Mango Face Cream and Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover and I am seriously impressed.
