New budget makeup brand: Makeup Revolution

When it comes to budget makeup brands, there is a big gap on the market and my drugstore favourites are not as cheap as I would like them to be anymore. Thankfully, the recent launch of Makeup Revolution blew me away and I am really impressed with the quality, price and variety of their products. There is something fro everyone, including purse friendly dupes of popular eye shadow palettes, stunning lip colours, a dreamy foundation, baked blushers, highlighters and more! Most products cost between £1 to £4. Bargain!

Breakfast inspiration with Alpro #alprotops

If you follow my food instagram account, you might have seen my breakfast creations with Alpro yogurts. I was kindly sent a hamper with some of their products and an amazing pack of toppings to shake up my breakfast routine and experiment with various ingredients. As a big fan of Alpro Simply Plain, I couldn't wait to try more flavours and I must admit- they are absolutely delicious!

Nivea Cellular Anti-Age Skincare

Nivea is a brand I have been familiar with since a very young age. In fact, it was the first skincare brand I have ever used, because both of my grandmums and my mum have been using their creams for decades! Most Nivea products are very cheap and do the job, but the new Nivea Cellular range feels much more high end and luxurious, featuring three key anti-ageing ingredients: Magnolia Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Creatine. The formula promises to accelerate cell renewal, reduce & prevent wrinkles, plump & firm the skin and keep it moisturised and happy.

Neom Cocooning Candle

I was really excited to take part in the #NeomStressLessChallenge , simply because I find all their candles an absolute godsend when it comes to dealing with stress and anxiety.  The April campaign features a 3 wick Cocooning Home Candle*(£39.50), a  light and fruity scent with comforting floral notes, described as 'the perfect antidote to tired, weary bodies in need of some well-deserved me-time'. 

Love Me Beauty April 2014

Love Me Beauty are definitely the most impressive subscription box service on the market and every single month they deliver a fabulous selection of products. After looking at the April menus, I opted for edition 2, simply because I really wanted the Models Own Nail Art Pen :) I am happy with the rest of the contents as well and the lifestyle extra made the box even better! 

Kiko Life In Rio Collection Summer 2014

Kiko are right on point with their limited edition collections and their new 'Life In Rio' launches are no different. There is plenty of stunning products to choose from, including  cream & powder foundations, baked bronzers & blushers, BB creams, shimmering body oils, lipsticks, liners, dual ended pencils, nail polishes and a a face brush duo. The compacts feature beautiful, colourful designs and the selection of shades and formulas is very summer appropriate. 

Pur Minerals New S/S Colour Collection

Pur Minerals are known for their skin friendly makeup products and this Spring they added even more goodness to their formulas. The new range features two wine-extract based ingredients: Resveratrox and Vitisin, both packed with anti-oxidants. The collection includes cream and powder blushers, lipsticks and lip glosses, all absolutely gorgeous!

Homemade Nut Milks with Vitamix

I eliminated cows milk from my diet about 2-3 years ago, but I do eat small amounts of yogurt or cheese occasionally. Everything in moderation is perfectly fine in my opinion. I replaced cows milk with almond or hazelnut milk and my brand of choice is usually Alpro. I also love coconut milk and I use it with porridge and in everyday cooking. Yum! When I was sent the Vitamix Pro 500* to try, I was really excited about making my own nut milks. It is much cheaper and you know exactly what goes into it. No additives, no added sugar, just fresh, delicious homemade milk! I was also sick of running out of nut milk, so this is life changing for me :) Soo... how do you make nut milk? It's super easy!

Bumble and Bumble Creme De Coco Range

My hair is a real pain in the butt. It is fine and flat most of the time , but sometimes it becomes dry and frizzy... How is that even possible? I also have damaged ends from styling it with heat, so I have to use repairing products, which always comes with a risk of weighing the hair down. Thankfully, I was introduced the the Creme De Coco Range from Bumble and Bumble and I fell in love with it!

Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner - Scotch

Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner* (£18.00)

Gel liner in a retractable pencil form? Yes, please. I do love a precise winged line, drawn carefully with an angled brush, but... the new Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliners are absolutely perfect for adding fuss free definition to the lash line. 

What's In My Makeup Bag?

I have a big collection of makeup bags, but I keep going back to simple, clear designs where all my products don't even have to be organised to be found easily :) I got this clear bag with a skincare gift set by Amie* and it is ideal! It has nice finishing touches, with a white leather trim, pink zip and little flowers on the bottom. It is the perfect size as well.
