Benefit Hoola Bronzer & Lip Gloss #HowDoYouHoola

This little bronzer quickly became one of my favourite products and the fact that it has my name on it made it even more special. I've tried a mini Hoola bronzer in the past, but for some reason I didn't repurchase it. I know, I am such a fool :) haha. Benefit Hoola Bronzer is absolutely stunning and I couldn't be more excited about having it back in my life. I also got a chance to try the Hoola lip gloss and I think it's fantastic! I love the formula of Benefit Ultra Plush Glosses - they feel incredible on the lips. After putting both products to the test and I can finally  share my #HowDoYouHoola selfie, complete with a Hawaiian necklace :)

Refreshing Cold Drinks For Summer (with Vitamix)

Since the weather improved slightly, I have been experimenting with non alcoholic cocktails and frozen coffees and I created some really lovely combinations. Most of them are completely clean and healthy, but I do use Monin Syrups sometimes to add more flavour. PS. If you have been waiting for my Frozen Coconut Latte recipe, you don't have to wait any longer :) 

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

The Body Shop Brush On Bronze* (£14.00)

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

Pandora Silver White Quartzite Ring* (£60.00)

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

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom EDP* (£35.00)

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.
