Makeup Revolution Vice Lipstick

Makeup Revolution Vice Lipstick (£1.00)

Continuing with the 'bright lip theme', I thought I should give a bright orange shade a go. Vice is part of the Makeup Revolution Scandalous collection, but it is pretty wearable and I absolutely love it. The other shades include a gorgeous fuschia pink, a bright purple, blue and yellow! You can see how the first two look like on the lips in this post.

Pandora Vintage Heart Charm

Every girl loves Pandora charms, right? You simply can't go wrong with them and the selection of designs is incredible. There is something for everyone and you can make your gift personal without going through the hassle of  engraving etc. Perfect for those who tend to buy gifts last minute, but still want them to be meaningful. 

Neom 25% OFF Blogger Flash Sale and my top picks

As a massive Neom addict fan I had to let you know about their 25% off offer for bloggers. The discount is valid between the 16th and 18th of May on all stress-relieving Neom products, including the gorgeous Enchantment range. 

Purple/Pink Overload With Makeup Revolution

I love purple and pink hues in my makeup and sometimes I actually wear purple/lilac lipsticks in public. Obviously there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I know that it is still considered a little bit extravagant (especially during a walk in the park with my toddler, haha). Anyway... Here is a makeup look I created with some very affordable Makeup Revolution gems along with quick reviews of some of their eye shadows and lip products.

Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge Fresh Fragrant Water

Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge Fresh Fragrant Water* £32.00

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

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb* (£51.95)

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

 He-Shi Rapid 1 Hour Liquid Tan* (£22.50)

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!
