Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lips Review + Swatches

 This post includes gifted products and affiliate links

Are we ready to give up matte liquid lipsticks yet? I don't think so, haha. Can we welcome back other formulas into our lives? YES! Yes, please! After cold Winter months, our lips desperately need more nourishing formulas, like the new Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lips*(£19.00) and I am all about the glossy finish lately.

L'Occitane Rose EDT and Fragrance Waters

This post contains gifted products and affiliate links

I don't own a huge selection of L'Occitane fragrances or products, but everything I have tried from the brand in the past has been incredible and I repurchased a few favourites over the years, like the Almond Shower Oil and Shea Butter Hand Cream. I also feel very sentimental about their Pivoine Delicate EDT, so it's safe to say that I was really excited to try the new Rose EDP* and Burst Of Vitality Fragrance Water* which launched in February nationwide. I think they're a perfect option for Spring/Summer and with a choice of three fragranced waters to compliment the Rose scent, there is something for everyone.

Brand Focus: Glossier

I have been meaning to write about Glossier since I first tried the brand last year, but I lost the photos I took, so I waited and waited and now I actually used up some of the products, hence the empty packaging. You know you love something, when you literally scrape every single last bit out!

Whether it's their all time favourite scent or something new with similar notes, you still have enough time to order online or get it last minute in store! Here are some of my picks for Christmas 2018 for men and women.

Pixi Beauty Christmas Gift Ideas

I recently attended the Girls Day Out Show in Glasgow with Pixi Beauty and I must admit - they had the most beautiful setup! It looked magical! I added loads of photos to my Instagram and saved it in my story highlights, if you want to have a little peek. I came home with some of their gorgeous products and I think they would be perfect as Christmas presents or stocking fillers for beauty and makeup enthusiasts. 

Soap & Glory Boots Star Gift 2018

It's time for the beauty bargain of the year - the Soap & Glory Boots Star Gift*. This year it's a collaboration with multi-talented graphic designer, art director and illustrator Zuki and it looks gorgeous! The gift set retails at £30.00 with the items inside worth £80.00, making it an absolute steal! 

Bobbi Brown Christmas Gifting

Bobbi Brown became one of my favourite brands in 2018 and I often wear a full face of BB makeup, because the products are simply incredible. I especially love the highlighters. I mean... just look at the duo above! Stunning! I have a few items to show you, just in case you fancy treating yourself or a loved one to some luxe makeup this Christmas.

Design.Me Haircare

I've had this trio from  Design.Me Hair for a while now and I have been using it a lot, so I thought I would pop a quick blog post up to tell you all about these, just in case you're not familiar with the brand.

Bare Minerals Original Foundation Review

I adore bareMinerals products and I am a huge fan of their bases, like the Complexion Rescue, BarePro, Blemish Rescue and BareSkin. I have tried every single base from their range, except the matte version for oily skin. Today I want to talk about the Original though, as I have been using it  a lot lately for a few reasons.

Brand Focus: Pixi Beauty

I was introduced to Pixi Beauty a few months ago at a Pixi Beaty dinner in Glasgow (incredible evening!) and some of their products quickly became staples in my skincare routine and my makeup bag. The formulas are lovely and the brand is cruelty free and most of their products are vegan, which is amazing.

Eyes with Smashbox

I haven't tried much from Smashbox, so I was really looking forward to giving these a go. A perfect trio for a simple makeup look with a pop of colour. I adore the mascara and liner so much, they have been my go to in 2018.

Michael Kors Sheer EDP

I noticed the Michael Kors Sheer EDP* in the Debenhams sale when I was browsing their website this weekend, so I thought I would let you know my thoughts on it before it sells out, just in case you want to grab a bargain. I have been using it a lot lately and I absolutely love it.

Holiday Essentials

I was planning to blog about all my holiday must haves before or during our Summer break in France, but I was super busy packing and then I enjoyed myself soooo much at the villa, that I didn't even open my laptop. Best holiday ever! Now I am back, let me tell you what I packed with me, as many of you are probably going on holiday in August/September.

Narciso Rodriguez EDP For Her review

The Narciso Rodriguez EDP For Her*(30ml, £35.50) has been on my wishlist for a long time, after a received a little vial of it in a subscription box. It is finally mine and I totally get the hype around it, as it is absolutely beautiful and lasts on my skin for ages! From the bottle tom the scent itself - it's perfect!

Janjira 24K Gold Rituals rejuvenating Elixir & Hydrating Moisturiser

When I first heard about the Janjira 24K Gold Rituals range I was immediately drawn the the gold sparkle in the serum, as there is something very luxurious about it. Once I did some more research, I found out that the gold not only looks pretty, but it actually provides anti-ageing and brightening effects and helps to add a youthful, radiant glow to the skin.

Vichy Dermablend Covermatte Powder Foundation review

I have always loved the Vichy Dermablend range and have been using their original foundation for over  a decade, so I am so, so happy to have the Vichy Dermablend Covermatte Powder Foundation*(£20.00) as an option for touch ups on the go or an allover flawless base when I want extra oil control- perfect for this hot weather!

Glamglow Waterburst Hydrated Glow Moisturiser review

Today I want to share some love for the GlamGlow WATERBURST™ Hydrated Glow Moisturizer*(£39.00) with you. Since the day I got it, I have been obsessed with the scent, texture and the way it makes my skin feel. It's such a fabulous product! Sometimes you just fall in love with something and can't stop talking about it and this is the case with GlamGlow Waterburst.

Pure Potions Hair Care review

I am always on the lookout for new natural hair care product and my latest discovery is the Pure Potions hair and scalp range, suitable for sensitive skin and those prone to eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis and free from nasty ingredients.
