NEOM SUMMER SALE

As a massive fan of Neom Organics, I had to let you know about their summer sale. Many of you often comment on my Neom reviews, saying that the prices of their products are too high for your budget, so this is your chance to treat yourself to some Neom goodness. I must admit- I buy most of their products on sale. I love a bargain! The selection of reduced items isn't huge, but you can choose from 2 full size candles (£25 each), 3 travel candles (£10 each), a reed diffuser (£20), a reed diffuser refill (£12) and a body cream (£20). Something for everyone.

I treated myself to the Serenity Vanilla & Sandalwood Travel Candle and my total came to £8.50 with all the discounts available for every new customer. By signing up to Neom's newsletter, you get a discount code that entitles you to free Next Day Delivery (normally £5) and as a welcome gift, you also get 150 Neom Points (worth £1.50) This way you save £6.50 with your first order. Fantastic! Let me know if you ordered anything :)

You can shop the sale here.

Beauteco Box June 2013

From all the beauty boxes I have ever received, Beauteco Box* is the most impressive one.

I was very happy with the contents of my May box , but the June one is even better!

Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Brush Collection Review

Real Techniques Duo-Fiber Collection* £23.99

Real Techniques brushes are absolutely amazing and I can't imagine doing my makeup without them. I own the Core Collection, a Powder Brush and a Blush Brush. I was planning to invest in the Starter Set as well, but I have far too many eye shadow brushes already.

The newest addition to Sam's range is the limited edition Duo-Fiber Collection, consisting of three high tech brushes.

theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer review

theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer aka The Luminizer* 8.5g £15.00

This review is an exciting one for me, because the Luminizer is my first product from theBalm.

The brand gets a lot of love from bloggers and it has been on my radar for ages.

I can describe my first experience with the brand in one word- LOVE!

Eye Of Horus Makeup - Inspired By Ancient Egyptians

When some beautiful Eye Of Horus products landed on my desk, I was very intrigued.

I really like the name of the brand and the simple black and gold packaging, inspired by Ancient Egyptians is right up my street. I have a soft spot for anything ancient religion and mythology related :)

Monartti Butterscotch Amber Ring

I adore jewellery and my love for it is turning into a slight obsession. The newest addition to my collection is the beautiful Butterscotch Amber Ring from Monartti.

Polaroid Style Prints

I love photography and I always print out a lot of pictures for my photo albums. Why? The answer is very simple. Can you imagine showing your child their baby photos, trying to find them on your 20 year old hard drive? (if it still exists after all those years) It wouldn't be as easy as picking up a photo album! I can't imagine going through all the folders, with thousands of files!!! I take hundreds of pictures every day, so printing out all of them is impossible, but... I make sure to keep my photo album updated :)

Products I've been loving lately

I don't write "favourites posts" regularly, but I really wanted to share some products I have been loving lately.

As you can see, there is a lot of them, so I should probably avoid writing another long intro (see last post) and crack on with the post... right now :)

My Favourite Nail and Cuticle Oils

If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I always complain about weak nails and dry cuticles.

I am one of those people with paper thin nails and no matter what I do, I will never have strong nails. I can make them slightly stronger, if I take supplements and use oils and treatments on a regular basis, but as soon as they grow past a certain length, they break easily.
