I am loving... white accessories

I love the look of white accessories, but I don't really own too many. I recently ordered this beautiful white bag* from www.oasap.com and I am totally in love with it! The print on it is very unusual and not everyone's cup of tea, but... the back is all white and it can be worn in two ways. I wish it was all white, but hey... it is beautiful anyway. The detailing on it is gold (gold plated) and all the trims are black. 

New skincare additions: Antipodes, The Body Shop, Elemental Herbology, Healgel, Caudalie and La Roche-Posay

I love trying out new skincare products, but I only have one face, so it is impossible for me to test every new release etc. If you blog about beauty, you will know how I feel :) There are some new products I have been using though and I would like to share my favourites with you and tell you a little bit about them.

Bargain Buy: Vivo Shimmer Block Blusher and Shimmer Block Bronzer

I love blushers and bronzers and I probably own far too many of them :) The newest additions to my little collection are from a very affordable brand -Vivo. If you shop in Tesco, you are probably familiar with their makeup range. The Shimmer Block Bronzer* and Shimmer Block Blusher* cost  only £3.99 each, but I am pleasantly  surprised with their quality.

Pandora Royal Baby Carriage Charm and Leather Bracelet

I was recently gifted this beautiful Pandora Silver 14ct Gold Baby Carriage Charm* (£55.00) and a lovely  Pandora White Braided Leather Bracelet* (£40.00) and they quickly became my everyday arm candy :)

Sunday Manicure: Floral nail art with Bourjois Dotting Tool

Hi everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I was very busy redecorating our bedroom and I can't wait to share the outcome with you next week :) I am still waiting for a couple of things to be delivered, but it all looks really nice already. 

Anyway... :) This weeks manicure is a mixture of pastels and florals with a touch of red. I tried to match my nails to one of my cardigans :) haha. I used Essie's Mint Candy Apple, Bond With Whomever, Hip-Anema and a Bourjois Dotting Tool*. 

Review: Beauteco Box August 2013

Another month, another great Beauteco Box*. I am seriously impressed with the selection of products in every single box I received so far. I like a good mixture of makeup and skincare and Beauteco ticked all the boxes again. In August I chose menu 1, with three full size products and two samples. The most exciting part for me was the Lord & Berry makeup :)

High End Makeup Worth The Splurge

I like to treat myself to high end makeup every now and then, but I always do a lot of research, before I splurge on something expensive. There is always a small chance that I won't like it, but.... I am happy with most of my high end purchases. Today I would like to share some of the makeup gems I fell in love with.

So, you’ve finally booked that long-awaited holiday. Exciting, right? But when you tell your kids, they’re about as enthusiastic as a cat in water. Fear not, because below is a great list of ways to drum up a storm of excitement in those little ones for your upcoming getaway, so the tantrums make way for enthusiasm.

French Connection Honey Round Sunglasses

When I was asked, if I would like to review an item from French Connection, I was instantly drawn to the Honey Round Sunglasses* (£69.00). I have been lusting after a pair of round sunglasses for ages, but I wasn't sure if the style will suit me. Well... it doesn't :) haha. They are lovely and I adore the colour of the frames, but as you can see on the photo below, this style makes me look like an old granny :) I think it's because I have a big, round face and I should probably get an oversized pair to look less silly.

Stay smart at festivals

Hi everyone. As a teenager, I used to go to festivals and concerts regularly and I was always worried that some of my things might get stolen. Why? Because when I was 16 my bag was stolen when I was out with my friends. I lost my phone, my documents, all my makeup etc. I was only 16 and absolutely devastated. Since then, I like to stay safe and keep my eye on all my belongings at all times. When I was asked by Allianz Your Cover, if I would like to publish this infographic with tips on how to stay safe and smart during the festival season, I couldn't say no.

Sunday Manicure and Accessorize Rock Star Gift Set

I recently ordered a super cheap Accessorize Rock Star Gift Set from Superdrug and it came with some lovely nail polishes. I have no idea what the shades are called,  because there is no info on the bottles or the packaging, but... they are beautiful! One bottle costs £4, if bought separately, but if you buy a gift set, you get everything for a fraction of the retail price.

July favourites: body, hair, makeup and nails

My July favourites are a bit late, but... I am very excited to share some of my new finds with you. I am including body care, hair care, makeup and nails and I will prepare a separate skincare favourites post for August. I just noticed that I featured a lot of lip products, but I have been using them non stop, because my lips get really dry in Summer.
