Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb



I have been dying to get my hands on a bottle of this EDT, since I gave it a little sniff in Boots and... it is finally mine. I was kindly sent a bottle for review purposes, but I was planning to buy it anyway. You know when you smell a fragrance and you can't stop thinking about it, despite having 50 other options to choose from? Yep, that's how I feel about Flowerbomb. It's beautiful!

How long does it take you to get ready?


According to a recent survey, an average woman spends 55 minutes on her appearance every day - an equivalent of 2 weeks a year. As a busy mum, sometimes I have to get ready in a couple of minutes, so I wasn't surprised to find out that most mums spend only 10-15 minutes getting ready every morning. To help me create a quick summer look in 15 minutes or less, I was kindly sent a couple of bits by roomtogrow.co.uk, but most of the products I used are staples in my makeup bag. As you can see on the stopwatch, it took me 12 minutes and 26 seconds to get ready. You can see the result on the photos below :)

He-Shi Rapid 1 hour Liquid Tan Review


I am a massive fan of He-Shi products, especially their liquid tan and I always recommend it to everyone who likes fuss free formulas. The new Rapid 1 Hour Liquid Tan is very similar to the original, but it works in just 1 hour, which means that you can actually fake tan right before you go out, without staining your clothes and bed sheets at night :)  Perfect!

Choosing the Right Material for Kid's Sweaters


Many parents find it challenging to choose the suitable material for their children’s sweaters due to the endless number of choices available in the market.  

For instance, Jacadi sweaters offer a range of sweaters in different styles, flair, and colors, which means you’ll need to review the characteristics of each item to find the garment that best suits your baby. 

And since you may be tempted to lean more towards style rather than functionality, this article will help you choose the right material for your kid’s sweaters and recommend some of the best fabrics readily available in the market today. Read on! 

Marlenha Petal Delicate Eye Serum Review


As a self-confessed eye cream addict, I couldn't wait to give this luxurious eye serum a go. I wasn't familiar with the brand, but after having a look at their website I can report that all Marlenha products are cruelty free, made without animal derived ingredients and free from nasties (like parabens, sulfates etc). The small selection of products handmade in Italy includes: three face moisturisers, a body butter and the eye serum I have been using for the past 3 weeks. 

Urban Decay Naked 3 and Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palettes Comparison & Swatches


My 'Urban Decay Naked 2 dupe' post is one of the most popular articles on my blog, along with the 'Naked palette ebay fake comparison'. That's why, after many requests from my lovely readers, I decided to compare the Naked 3 palette to it's brand new dupe - Iconic 3 by Makeup Revolution. I hope you find it helpful/interesting.

April Favourites


I always tend to include a big selection of products in my monthly favourites and this month is no different. There is something for everyone, from budget hair care to makeup and luxury skincare and I can't wait to share my recommendations with you! 

The Bathory Personalised Bath Soak


The Bathory Personalised Bath Soak* ($30.00/£18.00)

I love baths and I often spend hours soaking in essential oils and other mystery concoctions :) haha. When I was offered a chance to create my own personalised bath soak, I couldn't say no. The process is really simple and you can order your own blend by following two easy steps.

Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder


I am a dry shampoo addict, but... most cheap options make my scalp quite itchy and I have to use soothing products to deal with this unpleasant side effect. I think I finally found the answer to my prayers though, from a brand I have been obsessed with lately - Bumble and Bumble. 

Whole Food Juicing (without wasting precious fibre)


I own a decent juicer and I am a self confessed carrot juice addict but removing the fibre from fruit and vegetables breaks my heart and I see it as an absolute waste of something our body really needs, plus... juicing fruit means that you end up drinking a glass full of sugar! That's why I have been making more 'juices' in the Vitamix Pro 500 and I must admit - most of them are absolutely delicious. 

More breakfast ideas with Alpro


I already shared one #alprotops blog post this week (HERE), but this one is much more exciting, because you actually get to see more ideas for yummy, nutritious and balanced breakfasts. I always get excited about my breakfast and I  think about it before I fall asleep the night before :) haha. I just love healthy food. If you are stuck in a rut and need some ideas to shake it up, give some (or all) of the 7 combinations I created a go. 

Fossil Stella Rose Gold Watch


I have been lusting after a rose gold Michael Kors watch for a really long time. It is the top item on my jewellery wishlist and if Santa doesn't put it under my Christmas tree this year, I will be furious!  Just kidding... haha :) I do love a bit of bling on my wrist though, and at the moment I am absolutely in love with the Fossil Stella Rose Gold Watch ES3003*(£125, £106.25). It looks just as pretty as the highly coveted MK watches, but it is much cheaper and it combines all the details I was looking for in an elegant rose gold watch.
