Berry lips & smokey eye / Boots #giveitagodaily

I love trying out new makeup trends. From purple lips, to graphic liner and neon eyeshadow - I have tried it all! I simply adore makeup and I am not scared to experiment with it. I realise that those trends might not be suitable for everyone though, so today I want to share a couple of more wearable options.

Sephora/Holiday Haul

I almost forgot to share my holiday purchases, which are mostly from Sephora and Inglot. I bought some beauty bits while visiting my family in Poland and a little treat for my husband on the ferry to Calais. I didn't go crazy though, because I prepared a 'mental shopping list' weeks before, haha :)

Sigma Brilliant & Spellbinding Eye Shadow Palette

Sigma Brilliant & Spellbinding Eye Shadow Palette* (£29.99)

Another stunning palette from Sigma, released as part of their Steady Glow Collection. It is packed with neutral shades and a little bit of colour for the more adventurous makeup addicts. 

NEW Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Hour Lipsticks

I love Bourjois - I really, really do! Their bases and concealers are regular repurchases for me and the lip products are some of my all time favourite formulas and colours. The new 12 Hour Lipsticks* wowed me as well and I can't get enough of the nude shades. There is also a shade revival of Pamplemousse, back by popular demand.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

There has been a lot of hype surrounding the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara* (£19.00), so when a small sample of it arrived in the post, I applied it to my lashes immediately! Is it worth the hype?

HELLO! Fashion Magazine Launch + Competition

There is a new monthly fashion magazine on the market - HELLO! Fashion. With traditional media/print struggling at the moment, it is very refreshing to see a new option for fashion lovers. There is some beauty thrown in for good measure too, which is something I look for in every magazine. The best bit - it costs only £1.00!!!

Illamasqua Once Collection

The visuals for Illamasqua's Once Collection scream Autumn/Winter to me and the new products and colours are simply stunning. The collection consists of 3 cream eyeshadows, 2 lipglosses, a blush and a nail polish.

Helly Hansen Spring Style Preview + Competition

If you are a fan of outdoor activities and buy top quality outwear and sportswear, you will be familiar with Helly Hansen. A brand loved by world-class sailors, skiers and adventurers who demand full protection and performance when the conditions are at their worst! The brand just launched their Spring Style Preview along with a facebook competition where you can win a $2500 Helly Hansen shopping spree. You can see the video and find out how to enter below.

Clarins Autumn 2014 Collection

 Clarins never fail to impress me with their stunning makeup and each collection has a special place in my heart. I simply adore their formulas and packaging and I recommend them to absolutely everyone! The Autumn lineup consists of the new Ombre Matte Eyeshadows, a Brow Kit, Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base, Limited Edition 3 Dot Liner in Brown, True Radiance Foundation, an Eyeshadow Quartet and 5 new shades of Rouge Eclat Lipstick.

House Of Fraser Beauty Confidential Offer

If you love treating  yourself to high end skincare and makeup, but also like taking advantage of various offers and discounts, you have to check out House Of Fraser's  Beauty Confidential Offer. How does it work? 

Fashion Monday #4 / Leopard Print Trainers

I am all about comfort and I am also all about leopard print, haha... That's why I treated myself to a pair of Leopard Print Trainers (£17.00) from Asos. They were originally £28.00, but I spotted them on sale and I couldn't resist. 

Toni & Guy Extreme Volume Rollers

Toni & Guy Extreme Volume Rollers*(£60.00) 

I don't style my hair too often, but I love the way my hair looks, when I use heated rollers. They add volume, create big glam curls and are super easy to use. I own the Enrapture rollers already and I adore them, but I was excited to try an alternative.

Chanel Deauville Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick

Chanel Deauville Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick* (£26.00)

I don't own many Chanel products, but I do love the formula of Rouge Coco Shine Lipsticks and I wish I had more of them in my stash. They are simply divine! The latest addition to my collection is shade 67 - Deauville*- a perfect everyday shade for those who don't like bold or bright lips and prefer more neutral options.

Guest Post: The Glow Getters Lineup / RosyChicc

Hello everyone! My name is Andrea and I am the girl behind the beauty blog RosyChicc. When the wonderful Sandra asked me to guest post on her blog while she’s away on her holiday, I instantly jumped at the opportunity. The Black Pearl Blog is one of my all time favorite reads and I feel so honored to be guest posting over here! Thank you so much for having me Sandra and I hope you all enjoy! 

Guest Post: Favourite MAC lipsticks / Tasha Meline

Hi there! My name is Tasha and I write for www.tashameline.com. Today I will be guest posting on Sandra’s lovely blog about my top six MAC lipsticks. A very big thank you to Sandra for asking me to guest post whilst she is away! 

Before trying MAC lipsticks I wasn’t a huge lip product lover and could often be found with only lip balm on but once I had bought my first MAC lipstick, I couldn’t stop wearing them. I've only been collecting MAC lipsticks for the last five to six months but in that time they really have become my favourite so here are my top six out of my collection. 

Neom Tranquility Diffuser

I am obsessed with Neom and I have their diffusers and candles in every single room. They recently launched new packaging and added some new fragrances to the range, which made me very excited. I am not sure what style of packaging I prefer to be honest. I like both. The diffusers and candles look different and you can currently get some limited edition jars, plus a smaller size for those who don't want to buy the more expensive 3 wick home candle.

Guest Post: Top 5 MAC products/ Sweet Electric

MAC is one of my favourite brands. I've tried a few of their products over the years so picking a top 5 was difficult. However, I've managed to narrow it down and theres some real gems in here. 

Guest Post: Top 5 MAC Lipsticks/ More Than Adored

First off I would like to say a huge thank you to Sandra! I’ve been reading TBPB since before I started my own blog so it’s such an honor to be doing a guest post over here!

I’ve never shared my favourite Mac lipsticks over on More Than Adored which is strange because Mac lipsticks are my favourite lipsticks to buy. I admit most of my collection is made up of limited edition offerings (I’m such a sucker) but there these are my top five picks from the permanent line. 

Guest Post: Autumn Ambience / A Little Boat Sailing

Hey everyone! My name is Amy and I'm so excited to be over here on Sandra's blog whilst she is away on her holiday. I'm kicking things off today with some of my favourite make up items for this coming autumn; I hope you enjoy.
