Clarins Lip Balm Crayons Summer 2014

 Clarins Lip Balm Crayons* (£18.00 each)

I love easy to wear lip colours that don't require a mirror and a steady hand for even application. The new Lip Balm Crayons by Clarins tick all the boxes and I have been using them a lot since they landed on my desk. They have the most gorgeous texture, that feels like a super hydrating lip balm, but they also provide lovely colour and shine. Perfect!

NEW PG Tips Fruit, Herbal and Green Teas


I don't really drink a lot of black tea, but when I do, I opt for PG Tips. I am a massive fan of green, herbal and fruit teas though, so imagine my excitement when I was sent a hamper full of all the new PG Tips flavours! Tea heaven! :) The fruit and herbal range is priced at £1.19 and the green teas cost £1.29 per pack of 20. 

Preparing My Summer/Holiday Beauty Essentials


I am slightly depressed about cancelling two weeks in France this year, but we are going to Poland instead, to visit my family and spend a couple of days by the sea. The weather will be beautiful and I can't wait to finally relax and enjoy some sunshine! I already started preparing my holiday essentials and I must admit - I won't be packing light... Oooops... :) Here are some products I am taking with me this year.

The Body Shop Brush On Bronze

My first ever bronzer was very similar to this one and I kept it in my stash for years, until my recent makeup clear-out. There is something about the little beads that makes me love a product more. Brush On Bronze is very pigmented and looks a little bit scary when you swatch it and first apply it, but it is easy to blend and adds a gorgeous glow to my complexion. 

Pandora White Quartzite Ring


I must admit, Pandora designs are quickly becoming my weakness and I have a really long wishlist ready for my birthday in July :) This ring is part of the 'stacking range' and it is absolutely beautiful! I was torn between the White Quartzite Ring and the White Enamel Flower Ring, but after spending far too much time comparing them, I settled for the first option. It is a perfect size and it looks very elegant. I am definitely over my crazy ring obsession and I find myself opting for more timeless designs.

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom EDP


I love DKNY's Be Delicious and Red Delicous, but the pink Fresh Blossom version is probably my favourite from all three. It is more floral than other DKNY scents I have tried, but it still has a little bit of sweetness to it. It is fresh, flirty and light - perfect for daytime or those who don't like strong, musky EDP's.

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


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.
