Review: Liz Earle Signature Eye Colour in shade 14- Chestnut

Liz Earle Signature Eye Colour - Chestnut £13.50

"Create strikingly beautiful eyes. Our lightweight formula has a natural skin affinity, making it easy to blend for a smooth, even finish that stays true and lasts. Enriched with our own natural source vitamin E. Available in 20 shades."

I got this gorgeous eye shadow with my Glamour magazine subscription. Well... I got the subscription, especially to get two Liz Earle products :) It was such a bargain. You know how much I love Liz Earle skincare and makeup. 

Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick

Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick in shade PPK002  £14.00

"This smooth and creamy lips tick delivers a surge of moisture and a soft shimmering flush, 

giving your lips a gorgeous, healthy look"

This lipstick is officially the most beautiful one in my collection! Forget YSL Rouge Volupte. The Etude House Etoinette Crystal Shine Lipstick is just gorgeous. It is a Korean product and it is available to buy from yesstyle.com or ebay. I got mine as a present for Valentine's Day and I am in love with it.  I also got the Etoinette blusher and I will be reviewing it soon too.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm Review

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm SPF 20*  £23.00

I've never tried an Urban Decay base, so I was very excited to give the Naked Skin Beauty Balm a go. I like the packaging and it reminds me of the Naked Basics palette. It comes in a 35ml tube and it is easy to use. It is designed for "zero rub-off" and to create an illusion of being invisible on the skin.  It also claims to "give you a natural naked-looking skin that keeps getting better every week". I am not sure about that yet, because I have been using it for just over a week. 

FOTD: Full Coverage and minimal eye makeup

I know, I know... Another neutral look... I apologize, but I really wanted to mention my Holy Grail Full Coverage Foundation. I can't imagine my life without it! It is the amazing Vichy Dermablend!!! I have been using it for over 6 years and it always saves me when I have problems with nasty breakouts. It gives the best coverage I could ask for and it is just incredible. I will dedicate a full review to it soon (and the Vichy Dermablend powder), but today you can see a little preview of the product on my face. Due to lots of stress, I got a new wave of breakouts on my neck and jawline again and it is driving me crazy!!! Without this corrective foundation I wouldn't be able to go out of the house. If you suffer from acne- you will LOVE it and it will change your life. It covers everything, without clogging your pores and looking cakey! 

Korres Lip Butters: Wild Rose, Guava and Mango

Korres Lip Butters / Wild Rose, Mango, Guava  £6-£7 via www.feelunique.com

"A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish. The combination of Shea butter and Rice wax offers deep hydration and softness. Ideal for chapped lips."

I adore Korres lip butters and they quickly became my favourite lip balms. I love everything about them!
I actually reviewed the Mango one previously, but I wanted to share my little "collection" with you and swatched them all as well :) Let's start with the packaging. It is very simple and every pot has a different lid colour to match the shade of the lip butter inside :)  It really helps if you have more than one.

The easiest way of removing glitter nail polish - Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat Review

Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat $7.00 via shopducklingtoswan.com

 I love glitter on my nails, but I really can't be bothered with removing it. It is so much hassle! I actually stopped using glitter nail polishes, until I read Amelia's post about the Innisfree Peel Off Base Coat. She has a little shop (here) with loads of Korean Beauty products and stunning jewellery and that's where I bought the Innisfree Base Coat from. It arrived really quickly, wrapped in gorgeous paper, with a cute note inside :) I also have to mention, that Amelia has a fabulous blog and if you are not following it already, you will fall in love! I promise! 

Photo diary: Valentine's Day Pretties :)

Hi everyone!  It is never to late to share some pretty pictures. I took all of them on Valentine's Day.

You might have seen some snaps of all the gorgeous presents I received on Instagram and Vine.

It was a lovely day. I got beautiful flowers, chocolates and loads of makeup I have been dreaming about, including a Chanel blusher, Etude House blusher and lipstick and a YSL lipstick.

Nude and elegant :)

I wasn't sure about the title of this post, but I might get some serious traffic thanks to it :) haha. I love nude nail polish, I love nude shoes and accessories and I am always trying to add more nude pieces to my wardrobe. 
It is such an elegant colour and perfect for any occasion.

Red accents

Hi everyone. 

I hope you are having a great weekend. I promised to add more OOTD posts and to be honest, I really enjoy preparing them. Let me know if you want it to become a regular weekend thing :)
I based the outfit around the red Smile Tote bag*  from www.bagbooth.co.uk.
It is a bargain-only £25! Obviously, I wish I could own the Celine Smile Tote, but it ain't gonna happen :)

Review: ORTIGIA FICO D'INDIA EDP

Ortigia Fico D'India EDP* £55.00 via www.sugarbirdboutique.co.uk

"The most loved Ortigia Perfume – powdery fig & cedar. The famous exotic Fico India cactus with amazing orange flowers grows huge & wild in Sicily."

I received this gorgeous scent from the SUGARBIRD Lifestyle Boutique and since I discovered their website, I keep browsing it, looking at all the beautiful, unique products they offer. I was instantly drawn to the beauty section and I have to admit- I am now lusting after all Ortigia bath and body treats :)
