Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge Fresh Fragrant Water


When it comes to Summer scents, Roger & Gallet never disappoint me. I am obsessed with their Bois D'Orange Dry Body Oil and I love their light fragrant waters. Gingembre Rouge is the newest addition to their range and it is described as 'an energising fragrance that reveals the freshness and sensuality of ginger in all its states'. It is a gorgeous scent and it reminds me of exotic holidays, sandy beaches and refreshing drinks in the sun.

Scott Barnes Body Bling: Platinum & Original

 Scott Barnes Body Bling in Plantinum and Original* (30ml, £7.50 each)

I love a bit of shimmer on my body, especially in Summer, so I couldn't wait to give this cult product a go. Body Bling was created by a celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes, who works with stars like Jennifer Lopez. Other professional MUA's use it on their celeb clients as well and apparently it's their secret to gorgeous, tanned and glowing skin. 

Love Me Beauty May


This months Love Me Beauty Box*(£10.00+£2.95) is slightly different to what I am used to, but I absolutely love it. Let's be honest... who doesn't like cute notepads, tea, nail polish, lip balms and a bit of skincare? I definitely do! In May I picked menu 1 and here are the contents of my box.

Healthy Vegan Rafaello Bonbons


I used to love Rafaello so much, but I can’t eat it anymore, so I finally decided to make a raw vegan version! I can happily report, that my first attempt was a success and I can now enjoy (raw and vegan) Rafaello again! *does happy dance, screams and cries with happy tears*.

What's NEW: Bourjois, DHC, Makeup Revolution...


I know that most of you visit my blog to read about beauty, so I decided to start a series of mini makeup and skincare reviews, where I quickly introduce you to some new beauty launches. The first one features two new releases from Bourjois, an amazing eyedust from a new budget brand Makeup Revolution, Signorina Eleganza Fragrance and DHC Clarifying Pore Cover Base.

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.
