When it comes to body care and hair care and I am not too fussy. I do my best to avoid SLS and other nasties though. I discovered some lovely products in August and I can't wait to tell you more about them!
Sigma WARM Extended Wear Eye Liner Kit Review + Swatches
I mentioned in my previous posts, that I am very impressed with Sigma's makeup. Their powder eye shadows are very pigmented and long lasting and the cream eye shadow bases are absolutely incredible and perfect for a quick, effortless look or a gorgeous smokey eye. When I was kindly sent the 'Sigma Warm Extended Wear Eyeliner Kit' to try out, I had high expectations.
Clear Skin and vitamin boost with Viridian Nutrition.
I am obsessed with healthy eating and nutrition and I always make sure to eat my 5 a day (or more) and balanced, nutritious meals. I also do my best to exercise regularly and my Polar FT4 watch really helps to motivate me. I get very annoyed when people assume that I am unhealthy, because I am carrying extra weight and I am sick of unnecessary, rude comments from those who could do with a lifestyle change themselves. I eat a very healthy diet (see my instagram for meal ideas), I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I exercise... I made small changes to my lifestyle, I am happy, I feel great, I am slowly getting back to my pre-preganancy weight and I realise that it is not going to happen overnight.
Eating clean has a big impact on the skin and avoiding processed foods and sugars will definitely show on your face. I love adding extra vitamins and superfoods to my diet though and I have been taking supplements from Viridian for the past few months to keep my body and skin happy.
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.
9 Ways to Get Your Kids Excited for Your Holiday
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.
