Ted Baker Pretties: Bow Wash Bag and Flip Flops

I was recently offered a chance to pick a couple of items from Surfdome to feature on the blog and as soon as I noticed that they stock Ted Baker accessories, I knew exactly what I was going to choose :) I was planning to purchase the wash bag and flip flops anyway (for my holidays), so it seemed like a perfect opportunity.

My neon wishlist

I adore the look of neons and brights for summer and I am slowly injecting more colour into my wardrobe. Most of the clothes I wear are black and grey, but I like to buy colourful pieces too. As long as the shape of a dress, jacket or top is right for me, I am happy to wear yellow, pink or bright green.

bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Collection review and giveaway

I adore bareMinerals makeup, so I was super excited to try out their new range of Marvelous Moxie lip products.
I was kindly sent a lipstick in shade Fly High, a lipgloss in shade Sparkplug and a lip liner in shade Empowered.
I also have the exact same products to giveaway to one of my lucky readers :)

Home decor: adding a nautical touch

I am still adding finishing touches to our new house and it seems to be a never-ending task :)
When I was asked to choose a product from Not On The High Street , I was instantly drawn to the home & garden category.I was looking for something nautical themed and I fell in love this gorgeous set of four beach hut boxes.
I had my heart set on it, even though, I had to wait a couple of weeks for it to be back in stock. They must be pretty popular. I was planning to place them in the bathroom, but... they ended up in the living room, on the bottom shelf of an alcove. This way, I can admire them all day.

Recent beauty buys

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a lovely Sunday! I love seeing what other people buy, so I decided to add another little haul post ... Oooops :) I can't stop buying beauty bits and I placed more online orders last night... I am super excited to get my Neom Travel Candle and  Kiko Makeup.  Here is what I bought recently:

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 :)
