Shellac manicure (at home) with USpicy UV/LED Light


I am one of those unlucky people who have weak nails no matter what they do. I can get them to a point when they aren't paper thin by taking supplements and eating a super healthy diet, but they are still weak, split easily and chip after 1 -2 days when I paint them with nail polish. That's why I decided to give Shellac a go, when I was kindly sent the USpicy 24W UV & LED Lamp* to try out.

Massively disappointed with Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner


After reading tons of rave reviews of the Eyeko Skinny Liner (in black), I was delighted to see it as a magazine freebie in this week's Glamour. £2.00 for a £12.00 liner? Yes, please! I wanted the black one to be honest, but my local supermarkets only had the navy option left. I like experimenting with colours and navy seemed like a perfect Summer shade, so I picked it up and couldn't wait to use it! As soon as I arrived home, I opened the liner and swatched it on my hand. Outcome?

M2 Beaute Perfect Eyes Kit Giveaway (worth £135)


I am all about making my lashes look fuller and longer and I have tried many products to help them grow. My recent discovery is the M2 LASHES Eyelash Activating Serum from the M2 Beaute Perfect Eyes Kit* (£135.00) and I must admit - after just 2 weeks of everyday use, I am starting to notice an improvement! My lashes look slightly thicker and feel stronger (if you can say that about lashes) and I think they are little bit longer too. It is hard to tell, but I can see a difference already. I was kindly sent two of the gift sets. One for me and one to give away to one of my readers :) If you fancy trying this high end set, simply fill in the rafflecopter widget below for a chance to win.

My Sk:n Clinic Glasgow consultation + treatment plan for scarring

sk:n clinic glasgow consultation + treatment plan for scarring

If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I always mention hormonal breakouts on my jawline and neck. I also complain about all the scarring and redness around those areas and any marks left after occasional blemishes on the rest of my face. I didn't really want to take any pills or antibiotics to deal with my problem, so I waited patiently for my hormones to calm down and I think that my skin is finally at the stage when I can deal with all the damage. That's why I was absolutely ecstatic, when I was contacted by www.sknclinics.co.uk who invited me for a consultation at their Glasgow clinic and offered me a course of treatments I might need to get my skin back to normal. I was considering booking an appointment and treatments anyway, so the timing was absolutely perfect. I went for my first visit last Monday and I am happy to report that I decided to go ahead with the treatments.

Gucci Guilty Intense EDP


I've been meaning to try this fragrance since it launched in 2011, but for some reason this is my first bottle of Gucci Guilty Intense Eau de Parfum. If I knew how beautiful it was, I would have added it to my collection ages ago. Why is it so beautiful? Well... it smells like fresh lilacs - one of my favourite flowers. It isn't a simple floral fragrance though. It is much more sophisticated and sexy. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous too and looks and feels very luxurious.

Eucerin products now available at Escentual


If you love skincare, you must have heard about Eucerin. I haven't tried any of their products until last week, but it is quite a popular brand in the blogging community. Eucerin products tackle many skin issues, from hyperpigmentation to dryness and there is something for everyone. I decided to try one of their sun protection products and a brightening nigh cream. Escentual started stocking the brand recently and they are offering 1/3 OFF all their French Pharmacy brands throughout June, including Eucerin, so if you have been curious about their products, you can now try them with a big discount! 

May Favourites


I am a couple of days late with my 'May Favourites'  but they are finally here :) I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year and my baby boy will be 3 years old on the 24th of June! Oh my... I am getting old :) haha. Back to the subject - I have a nice selection of skincare, haircare, bodycare and makeup to share with you and a beautiful fragrance as well.

Brand Spotlight: Claudia Louch Natural Skin Clinic


When it comes to skincare, I try to stick to the brands I know or ones recommended to me by other bloggers. I was very intrigued by the Claudia Louch Natural Skin Clinic range though and the packaging made me want to try it even more. Just look at it - it is stunning! Sleek black containers with a touch of silver and very functional pumps. I had a chance to try the Hydrating Mango Face Cream and Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover and I am seriously impressed.

Weekend Pamper #2


I am not sure, if this feature will be a weekly occurrence, but I am hoping to mention some pamper products most weekends, or when I have some new exciting products to try out. I love a good pamper night, so it is something I enjoy talking/writing about. Here are some of the products I used last night :) 

Illmasqua Summer 2014: Velvet Blush & Matte Lip Liquid


Illamasqua's Summer 2014 Collection looks absolutely divine. The imagery is stunning and the new products come in very Summer appropriate colours. The new additions include 3 Matte Lip Liquids, 3 Velvet Blushers, Matte Veil and a Matte Top Coat for nails. I was kindly sent two products to try out: Surrender Matte Lip Liquid and Sleek Velvet Blush. They are both beautiful!

theBalm Balm Voyage Palette

I don't own a massive selection of theBalm products, but everything I have tried from them so far has been absolutely amazing, from stunning highlighters to buttery soft eye shadows. The newest addition to my makeup collection is the 'Balm Voyage' palette and I am slightly obsessed with it. The selection of eye shadows and lip/cheek colours is perfect and the formulas are a dream to apply.
