I ♥ MAKEUP


If you are a makeup addict, you might be interested in the new releases from Makeup Revolution. They launched a new sister brand called I ♥ Makeup last week and I got a chance to try a selection of the new products.

Jimmy Choo EDP Review


I've only heard good things about this perfume and everyone seems to love it. From the design of the bottle, to the scent itself, it is perfect! It is also pretty affordable, which is always a bonus.  Jimmy Choo EDP is quite a sensual fragrance, but not your typical floral/sweet combination! It has a lot of character and gives me a boost of confidence.

Stress-free Blogging :)


Let's be honest... some of us freak out about our blogging schedules too much. I definitely find myself worrying about not having a blog post ready for the next day, or not having time to write one at all. I try to be relaxed about it, but the voice in my head keeps reminding me, that I HAVE TO publish a blog post. My 'To Do List' gets longer and longer each week, but you know what? I don't even care anymore and I seriously need a break. This doesn't mean that I will be absent, not at all! I am just starting to enjoy blogging again, after going through some really bad times. At some point last year I was blogging every single day, multiple times a day, but I found myself stressing out too much, so I decided to just relax for a while, as something I absolutely loved turned into a chore and I wasn't happy. I still enjoyed preparing most of the content, but all the admin work was killing me! If blogging isn't you job, don't take it too seriously, relax and keep some of the following tips in mind:

Weekend Pamper #3


After a stressful week and a couple of sleepless nights, thanks to panic attacks and sleep paralysis, I seriously needed a Saturday night pamper session. A good workout made me feel much better and released some endorphins, but I was dying for a long bath and a nice face mask. Here are the products I chose to help me de-stress and relax :)

Love Me Beauty Box June 2014 (Birthday Edition)


This month, Love Me Beauty Box* celebrates it's 1st Birthday and after having a look at the June menus, I opted for Edition 1. The box features five products and four of them are full size. I was actually very excited about the selection of products this month, but was I impressed with them? Let's find out.

Nails Inc Spring/Summer 2014


I really like the formula of Nails Inc polishes and their Summer 2014 collection is right up my street. I love pinks and glitter top coats and I think that they are a perfect combination for a girly manicure with a bit of sparkle. They also released a fantastic latex effect formula and just like their leather effect polish - it is amazing!

Brand Spotlight: Crownbrush (Makeup)


You might remember my Brand Spotlight post about Crownbrush (here), featuring some of their brushes and their amazing brush cleaner. I still love them and use them very often, but today I want to focus on Crownbrush makeup. Yes, they do makeup and... they actually have quite a wide selection of palettes. They are also releasing new liquid foundations very soon and I had a chance to try them before the official launch. 

Everyday Makeup Look / The Face Of Fragrance Direct Entry


I very rarely enter blogger competitions, but I couldn't possibly ignore this one :) 'The Face Of Fragrance Direct Competition' is hosted by Fragrance Direct (one of my favourite online shopping destinations) and The Sunday Girl (one of my favourite beauty bloggers), so it would be rude not to take part :) I wasn't sure what type of entry I should go for, but I thought that showing you my 'Everyday Makeup Look' in a form of a step by step tutorial would be perfect. Let me know what you think :) 

NEW Makeup Revolution Palettes!



I was pleasantly surprised when these new Makeup Revolution Palettes landed on my desk. The brand launched recently, but they are bringing more new products out already! Fantastic! The best bit - it's all cheap as chips, but the quality is incredible for the price! The new launches include five 18 colour eyeshadow palettes, two 8 colour blush & contour palettes, two 8 colour cover and conceal palettes, five 5 colour baked eye shadow palettes and two new bronzers. You can find all the new releases here, but before you head to the website, take a look at the beautifully pigmented swatches of the products and find out more about the formula etc.

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.
