Christmas with Bath & Unwind

Beauty gift sets are always my favourite presents and I can't imagine Christmas without buying them for my family or receiving a selection of beauty goodies myself. I was kindly sent a couple of beautiful sets from Bath & Unwind recently and I must admit- it felt like Christmas and I might have squealed when I opened the box :)

My favourite Autumn/Winter Blushers


I usually wear subtle colours on my cheeks, but my blusher collection includes many strong colours too and there is no better time to wear them than A/W. The only reason why I normally avoid darker colours is because I tend to overdo my blush and end up looking like a clown :) haha. It is easily fixed though. I have three favourites at the moment, all absolutely gorgeous and nicely pigmented.

The Urban Retreat Beautique Gift With Purchase


I do love a good Gift With Purchase Offer and I must admit - they simply keep getting better. If you are still looking for Christmas gifts (or want to treat yourself) and want to get the best deal, taking advantage of GWP events is the best idea. The Urban Retreat Beautique is launching their offer tomorrow (29th of November) and if you spend £150 online, you will receive over £110 worth of luxury treats, from skincare and haircare to high end makeup. The Urban Retreat Gift With Purchase contains:

Treating Yourself Right: The Art of Self-Gifting This Festive Season

As we head into the festive season, our minds often become consumed by lists of gifts to purchase for family and friends. But who says you can't treat yourself this year too? Give yourself something nice this time: embrace self-gifting this festive season as an act of gratitude. After all, you have done plenty to deserve this gesture, right?

Love Me Beauty Box - November


Love Me Beauty November Box*  (£10.00 + P&P)

Yes, LMB did it again! They did not disappoint and delivered yet another fabulous box! This time, the box included 6 products, instead of 5 due to quality issues in the previous box. I personally haven't had a problem with any of the contents, but some of the Lord & Berry makeup last month was dried up etc, so to make up for it - there is a free lipstick this month. It is good to know that the LMB team and the brands involved really care about their customers. 

Real Techniques Sam's Picks Brush Set



 'Sam's Picks' is a limited edition set featuring 6 brushes - five of them are already available to buy separately or in other sets and one is exclusive to this collection. I am a big fan of Real Techniques brushes, so I was very excited to try out a selection of Sam's favourites.

MAC 217 - worth the hype?



I have been thinking about buying the 217 brush for absolute ages, but paying £18.00 for an eye shadow brush seemed a bit extravagant. After some encouragement from fellow bloggers, I finally ordered it, taking advantage of a 10% off Debenhams offer. I only used 217 a couple of times, but I already know how I feel about it :) Soo... is it worth the hype?

Multitasking beauty products


I have many beauty products in my stash, but some of them deserve a special mention, due to their versatility. Who doesn't love a good 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 wonder? I definitely do, especially in terms of skincare. Balms are usually the best multitaskers, but I found some more gems too.

Highlighting Concealer Pens


Highlighting concealer pens are probably one of my favourite beauty inventions ever! They are super easy to use, perfect for a touch up on the go and totally hassle free. I have a nice selection of these in my makeup stash, from drugstore to high end. Most of them are 2 in 1 products and help to conceal and highlight at the same time. I really like the pens I have tried so far and I think that every girl needs at least one in her makeup bag.

All I want for Christmas is you :)



I tweeted about this AMAZING Urban Decay offering a while ago and I must admit... I was seriously considering saving all my pennies to buy this gigantic palette as a Christmas treat. Call me crazy... But I am obsessed with Urban Decay Eye Shadows. The price tag is really scary - £445 in Debenhams, or  $595 from Urban Decay Website, but... it would make me extremely happy.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - Nude Delight




I don't own many Rimmel products, but their lip lacquers and waterproof eyeliners are simply amazing, so I decided to finally give the Moisture Renew Lipsticks a go. I went for a nude colour - Nude Delight, because I own too many pinks and reds already :) The formula of these is meant to be highly pigmented, very moisturising and long lasting. The lipsticks contain SPF 20 too, which is always a good thing.
