colour block nails- pink & gold - Dior & Barry M

I wasn't sure about this colour combination at first, but I gave it a go and I think the colours  look really nice together. I used : Dior Vernis in 221 and Barry M in Bright Pink 279. To create this look you will also need sticky tape. Remember to wait for the first coat to dry completely before applying the tape and second colour. I thought it was going to be very easy, but when I peeled the tape off, the lines were not perfectly straight and the surface looked uneven, but I didn't have time to fix it. I hope it looks better the next time. Here is the final effect :)

FEBRUARY JOLIEBOX (Boudoir Privé) REVIEW

The wait for this beauty box was very very long. Everybody was getting anxious all month about the delivery time, but we finally got it!!! This months box included two extras- a Joliebox drawstring bag (that I immediately started using as my makeup bag) and an eyeshadow brush with a Joliebox logo. I guess we deserved something extra for our extreme  patience.

The five products this month were:

1.LAVERA-Basis Sensitive Organic Hand Cream-  smells amazing contains shea butter and almond extracts, makes your hands feel really soft. Perfect handbag size.

2.TAAJ-Himalaya Micellar Water-an antioxidant and tonic makeup remover that will revitalise and purify skin- MY FAVOURITE this month- I fell in love with it! I have never used a micellar water before, but I was actually looking for one on the net, so I was extremely happy to receive this product. It is amazing! It removed my waterproof mascara easily and the rest of my makeup came off with one sweep of a cotton wool pad. I am very impressed. I will definitely stop using makeup removers and start using micellar waters. Remember to follow with another cleanser once you are done with removing your makeup.

3.MACADAMIA Deep Repair Masque- this ultra-conditioning hair masque will rebuild damaged hair for improved shine and elasticity. I am looking forward to giving it a go.

4. RMK Cleansing Oil- it's a cleansing facial oil  with a refreshing scent of mint and Damascus Rose. 

5.JANE IREDALE-Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in Forever Pink- an all-natural multi-purpose stain that adjusts its colour to your mood and temperature. What a cute little lippie! I love it!

NOTD- Dior Vernis Nail Polish OR DIVIN 221 + new ring

I reviewed one Dior nail polish a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't very happy with it as it needed three coats and still wasn't opaque. I decided to give Dior another chance and purchased a beautiful creamy gold colour OR DIVIN 221. Guess what happened? I needed 3 coats again! I don't know if it's just my bad luck with the colours I pick or maybe Dior isn't for me... The thing is, that I love the brush so much, it makes the application very easy, and the finish is perfect. But I hate putting three coats on my nails  as I am very impatient when it comes to drying time.

I also purchased this beautiful mask ring on ebay and it goes perfectly with the gold Dior nail polish.

AMARYA - THE NATURAL AND ORGANIC BEAUTY BOX

Hi everyone!

I am very excited to share the contents of my first Amarya beauty box* with you. It is a natural and organic subscription box, perfect for those who care about ingredients and the environment.

What is AMARYA BEAUTY BOX?

It's a monthly beauty box with natural and organic products delivered to your door for just £10 a month with no additional p&p charges unlike other beauty boxes. You can either subscribe monthly for £10 a month or pay for a yearly subscription and receive a welcome gift worth £56 + 120 Amarya points=£12. If I had £120 spare I would subscribe right now to get the benefits of the yearly subscription. They also run a referral programme and if you refer a friend, both of you will get a free Amarya box. With other boxes you need to collect points and it's never enough to get a free box.

Every month you will receive one or more full sized products worth at least £20, samples and trial sizes and an exclusive offer for beauty box subscribers. The idea of the box is simple- With so many different Organic and Natural beauty products on the market it can feel daunting to try out different ranges. Amarya’s Beauty Box is a fun and cost effective way to experience a wonderful range of products every month!

The box I received is the December edition. I checked online what was included in previous boxes and I was pleasantly surprised, as every month the contents were amazing and well worth the £10 price tag. Here is what I received in my box:

1.REN gift set- 2 full sized products worth £28. Neroli and Grapefruit duo contains a 200ml reviving body wash and a fresh and richly hydrating body cream (also 200ml) Both products smell amazing and leave your skin perfectly clean, fresh, moisturised and silky smooth. Presented in beautiful packaging would make a lovely gift.

2.Dr. Hauschka cleansing cream- this little cream is great for deep cleansing and an alternative to face scrubs that irritate and damage your skin. You simply mix the Cleansing Cream with water in the palm of your hand and it turns into a smooth paste. 

3. Acorelle Eau de Perfum - Rose - organic perfume that smells absolutely amazing! 

4. A lovely Amarya canvas bag- I will definitely use it when I am out and about :)

Overlal, I am very impressed with my Amarya box and I would definitely recommend it.
