Polaroid Style Prints


I love photography and I always print out a lot of pictures for my photo albums. Why? The answer is very simple.  Can you imagine showing your child their baby photos, trying to find them on your 20 year old hard drive? (if it still exists after all those years) It wouldn't be as easy as picking up a photo album! I can't imagine going through all the folders, with thousands of files!!! I take hundreds of pictures every day, so printing out all of them is impossible, but... I make sure to keep my photo album updated :) 

Products I've been loving lately


I don't write "favourites posts" regularly, but I really wanted to share some products I have been loving lately. 
As you can see, there is a lot of them, so I should probably avoid writing another long intro (see last post) and crack on with the post... right now :)

My Favourite Nail and Cuticle Oils


If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I always complain about weak nails and dry cuticles. 
I am one of those people with paper thin nails and no matter what I do, I will never have strong nails. I can make them slightly stronger, if I take supplements and use oils and treatments on a regular basis, but as soon as they grow past a certain length, they break easily.

Paul & Joe Summer 2013 Beach Baby Collection


I am a sucker for pretty packaging and I often buy products, because they are cute and beautiful!
The SS13 Beach Baby collection from Paul & Joe Beaute is absolutely gorgeous and in my opinion, it ticks all the boxes. The quality of the products is great, the colours are perfect for summer and the packaging is to die for!

Lucy Annabella Organics


I love natural and organic body products and if you combine it with a touch of luxury, I can fall in love easily :)
I was kindly sent two gorgeous products from Lucy Annabella to try out and I absolutely adore them! 

Limited Edition DKNY Be Delicious Art



I adore the original DKNY Be Delicious EDT and it has been one of my favourite fragrances for years.
When I was asked, if I would like to review one of the limited edition DKNY scents, inspired by the art of Keith Haring, I couldn't say no :)  

Bourjois Cream Blushers Review



BOURJOIS CREAM BLUSHERS* £7.99 EACH

 I absolutely adore Bourjois and when I go to Boots or Superdrug, they are the first brand I check out. 
They released many new product recently, including the beautiful cream blushers. I really like cream products, especially for Spring/Summer and I am becoming slightly addicted to the reinvented Little Round Pots.

Everyday Minerals Large/Deluxe Eye Brush Set Review


Everyday Minerals Large/Deluxe Eye Brush Set* £25.95 via www.beautychamber.co.uk

I have a big collection of brushes, but I have been looking for a new eye brush set and an angled brush for my eyebrows. That's why I jumped on the chance of reviewing Everyday Minerals brushes. I have never heard about the brand, but I am very impressed with the quality of their tools. They offer a big selection if single brushes, sets and mineral makeup at affordable prices.

Ciate Chalkboard Manicure Review and Giveaway


Ciaté Chalkboard Manicure Kit* £25 (exclusive to Selfridges)

"Hate the sound of nails on a chalkboard? Why not try chalkboard on your nails with Ciaté's manicure kit." 

I love trying out new nail trends and this one is definitely the most exciting one! It is the chalkboard manicure! 
Crazy? Yes. Messy? Yes. Fun? DEFINITELY! 

Lime Crime Makeup from Cocktail Cosmetics

DISCLAIMER (Since publishing this blog post I was made aware of the unacceptable behaviour of the owner of the Lime Crime brand which go against my ethics, so please do your research before supporting this LC.  I am leaving the review up, as it comes up in Google search, which means that people might stumble across it and question the brands ethics.

Bargain Buy: Organic Surge Citrus Mint Shower Gel


Organic Surge Citrus Mint Shower Gel* £4.07 (currently on sale for £3.26)

Organic Surge are my go to brand when it comes to shower gels and hand washes. Their products are affordable, SLS free and not tested on  animals.

The Citrus Mint Shower Gel is a blend of peppermint, lemon and orange and it smells incredible! 
The peppermint essential oil is a natural antiseptic, lemon essential oil naturally cleanses, detoxifies and rejuvenates and sweet orange essential oil eliminates toxins and stimulates the lymphatic system. The formula is also enriched with Vitamin E to reduce irritation and natural glycerine to moisturise the skin.

Michel Mercier Detangling Hair Brush For Kids



As a mum, I know how hard it can be to brush your  kids hair. My baby boy is 2 (in June) and he doesn't like me washing and brushing his hair. I decided to keep his hair long, because it is curly and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I can't imagine him with short hair and I don't mind the "What a pretty girl" comments :) haha

Perfect Summer Bag: Mint Green Tote


I have been looking for a nice mint green bag since last summer and I finally managed to get my mitts on this beaut a couple of weeks ago. Oh my... I am in love with the shape, the colour, the details. It is PERFECT! 

Budget buy: Amie Perfect Beauty Gift Set


I love natural skincare, but it can be pricey sometimes. When I was a teenager, I couldn't afford more expensive brands, which made me buy cheap products aimed at teenage skin. It turns out that all the antibacterial washes and scrubs were full of SLS and other nasties, making my skin dry and causing more breakouts. If you are a teenage beauty enthusiast or simply like natural budget skincare, Amie is the brand for you!

A huge collective haul


Hi everyone. I haven't published a haul post in ages, but it does't mean that I wasn't buying anything :) haha
I didn't realise how much stuff I actually bought recently. Ooops :) Most of it is from Primark, Asos, New Look, Tesco and Asda. I also got some beauty bits and lots of home decor, but I might do a separate post about that.

Welcome Back To Korres Kit from What's In My Handbag



This little kit is quite popular in the blogosphere, so I am sure that you are familiar with Korres and their products.

I was kindly sent the Welcome Back To Korres Kit* from WIMH (read more about them in my previous post here) and I was very excited to try it, until I found out that Korres are not as natural as they claim to be... (more at the end of the post)

The kit costs £15 (free delivery) and includes a full size lip butter, full size nail polish, two 50ml shower gels and two skincare samples (worth £27).

Aromatherapy Associates Revive Room Fragrance



I am obsessed with home fragrance and I mentioned it on the blog many times. As much as I love candles, I think that I prefer reed diffusers. I was kindly sent this little bottle of Aromatherapy Associates Revive Room Fragrance and I love it. It is such a beautiful scent. It is a blend of bergamot, pink grapefruit and frankincense and it is perfect for Spring/Summer.

Budget Buy: Look Beauty Fat Lips!


Look Beauty Fat Lips!* £6.00 each

I really like the look of lip crayons and I am glad to see cheaper brands releasing their own versions.
I am loving my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick, but I think that the Look Beauty ones are equally good. I was kindly sent two shades of the "Fat Lips!" balm stains and I have been wearing them nearly every day in May!

Want a beautiful complexion? REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask will do the trick



When it comes to face masks, I am obsessed! I simply love using them! They can transform my skin in a couple of minutes and make me feel more confident and happy with my skin!

The latest addition to my face mask drawer is the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask. I used up three 15ml samples of it prior to May and I became slightly addicted :) I was planning to buy the full size, but I was kindly offered a bottle recently.

Neom Enchantment Candle


Neom Luxury Organics Enchantment Home Candle* £42.00

"Imagine a new day, full of hope and good will. A fresh but relaxed mind, bright and ready to take on the day’s challenges. This uplifting fragrance evokes that 'fresh start' feeling, making you feel happy and alert whilst quietly renewed."

The limited edition Enchantment Candle by Neom is a combination of Bluebell, Guaiacwood & Rose, making it the most beautiful floral scent ever. I am not picky when it comes to candles, but Enchantment is definitely a combination for everyone. It is simply beautiful!

I am loving... L'Oreal Confetti Top Coat


Hi everyone and Happy Friday! If you follow me on instagram , you might have seen a picture of this lovely Loreal Confetti Top Coat yesterday. Everybody and their mother reviewed it already, but I have to share my excitement with you. Why? Because I have been hunting it down for over 2 months! I couldn't get it online or instore, because it was sold out every time I wanted to buy it. I eventually gave up and forgot about it. 

What's In My Handbag Discovery Kits: The Best Of Ole Henriksen


I love trying out new products, so the idea of WIMH discovery kits is right up my street.
If you haven't heard about www.whatsinmyhandbag.com yet , you should definitely check out their website. WIMH is a members only beauty website, offering free samples, reasonably priced discovery collections and a lot of interesting beauty content. You can open an account free of charge, start building your beauty profile, add the contents of your handbag and create your own online beauty cabinet. My favourite part is having a peek inside everybody's handbags :)

I was kindly sent The Best Of Ole Henriksen Kit* (£19.50) and I have been using the products every now and then (not religiously) for the past three weeks.

Summer Glow: Korres Bronzing Powder and Blush


The Spring/Summer season is all about a gorgeous bronzed skin and a healthy glow. You don't have to be super tanned or layer tons of golden highlighters onto your face, but it is nice to add a little bit of colour :) 

Big Green Smile currently started stocking Korres makeup and I was kindly sent a peach Korres Blush and a Bronzing Powder to try out. They are perfect for creating that summer glow.

Viridian Ultimate Beauty: Beauty Oil, Beauty Complex and Organic Rose Oil


I believe that eating clean and taking vitamins and supplements plays a big part in a good skincare routine. 
I eat a balanced diet, full of fresh fruit, veg, but I am never sure if they contain everything my body needs.

When I was asked if I would like to try some products from Viridian Nutrition , I couldn't say no.
I was kindly sent the Ultimate Beauty Oil , Ultimate Beauty Complex  and Organic Rose Oil to try out about a month ago, and I just finished taking all the capsules and the bottle of oil.

 Have I noticed a difference in my skin? Let's find out...
