Serozinc Review (and UK stockist)

Serozinc has been on my radar for quite a long time, but we all know how difficult it is to buy in the UK. Most people get it on ebay, but you can now order it from www.farmaline.co.uk. They are an online pharmacy and deliver the goods to your door within 48h. I would recommend getting 2 bottles or placing a bigger order to make it worth the money or maybe ask a friend, if they want to split the cost of postage (£5.95). If you like French skincare, you will be able to fill your basket  really quickly and if you spend £75 - delivery cost is free. Anyway... I have been using Serozinc for the past 3-4 weeks and I am finally ready to share my opinion. 

Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer Review (SX06)

 Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer (shade SX06) £38.00

I have been thinking about buying this product for a long time and I finally placed an order for it a couple of weeks ago. I've heard mixed reviews and I realise that you can either love it or hate it. I was quite confused when I first used it, so it is understandable, but it is all about the technique. Thankfully, I figured out a way to use it and I absolutely love it! I can't believe I waited so long to buy this miracle worker!

Spring wishlist: fashion, makeup, fragrance

Ebay crystal necklace £7.99 (uk seller)

Beige 'smile' bag £19.99 (uk seller)

Embellished ballerina flats £30.00 (asos)

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Purse Spray £24.95 (fragrance direct)

Lace Insert Jumper £30.00 (river island)

Skinny White Jeans £25.00 (river island)

Set of 4 midi rings £10.00 (asos)

L'Oreal Collection Prive Lipstick in Julianne's Nude £8.16 (feelunique)

By Terry Cellularose Blush Glace in Melba £38.00 (space nk)

Spring is probably my favourite season and I already started organising my wardrobe to make sure I get more wear out of all my pretty pastel jumpers and accessories. As a typical girl, I still end up saying that 'I have nothing to wear' though and my wishlist is never-ending :)

I picked a selection of items I have been eyeing up, with the embellished River Island flats  and lace insert jumper being on the top of my list. I also need a nice beige bag and the ebay replica of Celine (shhh...) is an absolute bargain. I already have two of these: one in red and one in mint green, but I wanted something more neutral this time. To go with the light/pastel theme, I will have to get myself a pair of white skinny jeans :) My current pair doesn't fit me (yet!) and I don't think I can drop 3 dress sizes before spring :) haha.  I also need some cute midi rings and a new necklace to feed my addiction. I just can't stop buying new ones.

From beauty bits, I really want to finally get one of the L'Oreal Collection Prive Lipsticks, but they always sell out really fast instore. I might order one online along with a a cute little bottle of Daisy Eau So Fresh and the new By Terry Blush - it looks gorgeous!

What's on your wishlist at the moment? Are you ready for Spring?

Love Me Beauty Box (February)

Love Me Beauty Box* £10.00 (+£2.95 p&p)

I am usually blown away by Love Me Beauty and when I opened my Valentine's Day themed February box, I was very excited about the contents. Take away the body milk sample and swap it for a nice little nail polish and it would be THE perfect box for me :) Seems amazing, but... let me explain why I was left feeling a bit disappointed...

TheBalm Cindy-Lou Manizer Review

I blogged about the release of theBalm Cindy-Lou Manizer* (£16.00) back in January and I couldn't be more excited to finally try it. I already own Mary-Lou(highlighter) and Betty-Lou(bronzer) and they are both gorgeous, so I had really high expectations. 

My makeup storage

Since getting rid of my big dressing table (click to see my old post), storing makeup has been a bit of an issue, so I decided to buy the tall Malm chest of drawers last year and I am quite happy with it. I also added some clear acrylic drawers for my everyday makeup (I got an extra set since I took the photos). They are perfect, because I can see everything and access my favourite products easily. I would still like a small dressing table in my bedroom, but I will wait patiently, until I actually have a walk in wardrobe in our dream house and I can make it as girly as I want :)

Pink Makeup Look and Nails for Valentine's Day

Ooops I did it again... I just can't resist wearing pink on Valentine's Day. Pink lips, pink and violet eye makeup, pink nails... I love it! I was worried that it might be a bit too much, but I think it looks ok :) I am not too sure about the lashes though. Let me know what you think :)

Davina's BT Sport Relief Challenge: Davina-Beyond Breaking Point

I am all about supporting a great cause and I am absolutely blown away by Davina's BT Sport Relief Challenge: Davina-Beyond Breaking Point! The 46-year-old is currently attempting a seven day challenge, where she is swimming, cycling and running 500 miles from Edinburgh to London. Insane! 

Clarins Opalescence Collection for Spring 2014

Spring makeup is all about a fresh, radiant complexion, juicy lips and beautifully flushed cheeks. As usual, Clarins didn't disappoint and covered every single aspect of Spring beauty in their stunning new Opalescence collection. The new releases for Spring 2014 include: four cream blushers, an eyeshadow quartet, face & blush palette, 3 new shades of Joli Rouge Brilliant Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick, 2 new lip gloss shades and a single eyeshadow. There are two more product launching along with the new collection as well: Instant Light Boosting Radiance Complexion Base in three shades and Extra-Comfort Anti-Pollution Cleansing Cream. 

F&F Lingerie and Valentine's Day Treats :)

Valentine's Day is a perfect excuse to buy lovely lingerie, but it doesn't have to be super expensive. I am a big fan of F&F Clothing and I buy a couple of things from their collection every season. I have never bought any of their underwear though, but this set really caught my eye. It is sooo pretty!

Real Techniques Retractable Brushes & Silicone Liner Brush

I am always on the lookout for travel brushes, but most of them aren't retractable, which makes them hard to keep clean and store. That's why I couldn't wait for the release of new Real Techniques Retractable brushes and as usual, I am really impressed with the quality. They are well made, pretty and affordable.

January Favourites

It's time to share my monthly favourites again :) All products featured in this post (except one) are brand new or relatively new discoveries and I absolutely looooove them! I tried to keep a nice balance between makeup, haircare, bodycare and skincare this time and I will do my best to avoid writing a long essay :)
