Simple Leopard Print Manicure Tutorial

I used to be obsessed with nail art, but I had a really long break from nail polish for some reason so this is my first attempt at something more interesting in ages :) I was recently contacted by Dazzling Nails who kindly sent me some of their nail polishes to try out and asked to share my honest opinion. I also gave one of their simple tutorials a go.

My Little Box By Fleur De Force

December is my favourite month for subscription boxes. They are usually pretty special, although when it comes to My Little Box - every single box is special! I am not even exaggerating - they put so much effort into every single detail. The December edition is a collaboration with Fleur De Force and it is full to the brim with fab goodies!

Luxury Christmas Gifts For Beauty Addicts

Most of my gift guides went up last week, but I saved the best till last. It's time to share my luxury picks! Let's be honest - most of us secretly hope to be treated to something we wouldn't normally buy, something more special with the wow factor. Here are my picks.

Simple Christmas DIY ideas

I love DIY projects and December is my favourite time to be a little bit more creative. Every year I put together little bits and bobs to make my house look more festive and I really enjoy it! In today's post I am sharing 5 simple Christmas DIY ideas and one of them can be used as a gift as well :)

A cheeky LUSH haul

I very rarely buy from Lush, because they don't have a big selection of SLS free bath bombs, but... I decided that I have to try some of their Christmas treats. Yes... I ordered some bath bombs with SLS. It's an ingredient I avoid, but I don't think it is going to kill me if I use it on my skin twice a year. Never on my kids though!

As we approach the new year, you might be trying to think of ways that you can switch up your look and do something different. Refreshing your look can be surprisingly easy. All you need is the confidence to step out of your comfort zone and say yes to something entirely new.

Ted Baker Pretties from Flamingo Gifts

Ted Baker is one of my favourite brands when it comes to pretty accessories. The prints are stunning and the quality is amazing for the price. When Flamingo Gifts contacted me asking, if I would like to feature anything from their website, I couldn't resist some of the Ted Baker pretties available in their online store..

When you think of a dinner party in winter, odds are that you imagine a toasty dining space, comforting snacks, a little wine even, and most of all, being inside the house. But what about taking your dining space outside? For some people, the idea of spending more than they have to in the snow and ice is ludicrous, and we can’t particularly fault them for that, but it can definitely be a lovely experience.

I can't believe it has been 8 weeks since I started my Philips Lumea trial! I feel like I wrote my previous posts about a week ago, haha :) It's crazy! This is my final post, where I will be sharing my overall thoughts and telling you a little bit more about the product and the IPL technology.

My first Inglot Freedom System Palette

As promised, here is a review of my first Inglot palette. I am very happy with it and I think that the value for money is fantastic! Inglot is actually a Polish brand so I should probably know their products a bit better, but to be perfectly honest, this is my first Inglot purchase in a decade! :)

Long winter evenings are all about pampering. Hot baths with gorgeous oils, candles flickering in the background, a cheeky hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and some relaxing music. Heaven! Especially when you have some new luxury treats to enjoy.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Review

I adore all Marc Jacobs Daisy perfumes. They smell gorgeous and the packaging is to die for! Daisy Dream is the newest addition to my perfume collection and it is probably the pretties bottle so far. What about the scent?

Simply Be Partner Styling Challenge

I mentioned on my Twitter that me and Scott (my husband) are taking part in the Simply Be Partner Styling challenge and I won't lie when I say, that I was beyond excited! Scott was given a task of picking a Christmas Party Outfit for me, creating a Polyvore collage and making sure all the pieces are perfect for me.

My Little 'Cosy' Box November

My Little Box* never fails to put a smile on my face. There is something special about it and I adore the quirkiness and the amount of thought that goes into each box. For the month of November we have 'My Little Cosy Box' and it is simply amazing!

NEW from Makeup Revolution

There is one brand on the market that brings out new  products constantly - Makeup Revolution. Seriously, I think they launch something new every week. Which is obviously a good thing for us beauty addicts! The best part - all the products are very affordable and the quality is fantastic as well!

The Greedy Book

If you always worry about the awkward gift situation, when you have to pretend that you like something, but inside you are thinking 'what is this???', I have a solution for you :) Not everyone has a blog where they can share a wish list and most of us find it a bit cheeky to ask for certain gifts, but... you can always drop a hint on social media and hope for the best :) 

Christmas Decorations Haul

I am not putting my Christmas tree up before the 1st of December, but I already have some decorations out and I bought some lovely bits and bobs to make my house look and feel very festive. I just love Christmas. You can find links to the items I bought online below.

Appleyard London Christmas Flowers and 40% OFF Code

I have tried many flower delivery services. From ones that pop through your letterbox, to standard massive boxes delivered to your door. To be perfectly honest - I love them all. Flowers make me happy and even a single rose puts a smile on my face.

Christmas Gifts from Aromatherapy Associates

My first Christmas Gift Guide is here and it is all about one of my favourite brands - Aromatherapy Associates. I was planning to wait till December, but I know that many of you do your shopping early. If you are all set for the festivities already, I am very jealous, as I haven't been very organised this year :)

OOTD: £5 tartan dress and grey knitwear

I adore tartan dresses, so I couldn't resists picking this one up from Primark. Believe it or not - it was only £5.00! What a bargain. It is from their new collection as well, so you can definitely get your mitts on it. Must have for Autumn!

Daniel Wellington Classic Oxford Watch & Discount Code

I own a beautiful Daniel Wellington St Andrews Lady Watch (review here) and it is one of my most worn timepieces. The newest addition to my small watch collection is the Daniel Wellington Classic Oxford Watch* (£149.00) and I already know that I will get even more wear out of it. It is absolutely stunning!

Scholl Nail Beauty Set

I don't give my nails, hands and feet as much TLC as they need. I am ok with nail care, but my feet are probably the most neglected part of my body to be honest, especially since I seriously fell out with my Ped Egg. I swear... it ruined my feet and it took them a full year to get back to normal. Since the Ped Egg disaster, I have been very careful with what I use on my feet, but when I was offered a Scholl manicure & pedicure set to try out, I jumped at the chance. Why?

Beauty DIY

If you have been a reader of my blog for a long time, you will know that I love little diy projects and I often make my own bath bombs and body scrubs. I was recently challenged by AO to try making some homemade beauty products, including a whipped body butter, salt scrub and lip balm and I simply couldn't say no. How did I do?

OOTD: Cosy cardigan and heels

Yay! I am not wearing a black cardigan :) haha. I got this cream one in TK Maxx and it is the softest and cosiest thing ever! I love the length of it as well, as the front is much longer than on my other ones.

My Custom Sephora Palette

 I mentioned my Sephora palette (and my Inglot one) in my holiday haul a while ago, but I really wanted to review and swatch it for you as well. It is a lovely little palette and I actually managed to get it during a great offer, making it an absolute bargain!

Christmas Wishlist

It's that awkward time of the year, when you really don't want to ask anyone for specific gifts, but there are soooo many things you are actually dreaming about, that you just have to share them. I always say that I have enough makeup etc, but I would be one happy bunny, if I received any of the things on my list.

New From Bourjois

How stunning are the new Bourjois releases? They landed just in time for Christmas and most importantly - all the products are very affordable. That's why I love good quality drugstore brands. You don't spend a fortune, but you still get amazing results!

Seekers Of The Sun Temporary Tattoos

Everyone seems to be going crazy for temporary metallic tattoos at the moment and we all know that it's due to Beyonce rocking some bling allover her body and sharing the photos on instagram. I decided to give these a go as well and I must admit - I am slightly addicted!

Rekindling my love for jewellery

I used to be absolutely obsessed with jewellery. From huge, heavy earrings and  bangles to statement necklaces and rings... My collection is still insanely big, but for some reason I became a fan of the 'less is more' look lately. I actually stopped wearing earrings completely. Shock, horror! There is a piece I fell in love with recently though and it is this rose gold cuff.

Philips Lumea Update

I have been using Philips Lumea for over a month now and I couldn't wait to share my progress with you. Why? Because it's going really, really well! As mentioned in my first post about Lumea (here), I am very lazy when it comes to hair removal and due to having sensitive skin, I can only rely on one method - an electric shaver. That's why I was very excited to start my Philips Lumea trial.

Beauty Crowd

Have you heard about Beauty Crowd? I was recently introduced to their website and they also sent me a selection of products they stock. Beauty Crowd is an online marketplace for beauty lovers and if you like unique, handpicked items, you should definitely take a peek.

Affordable Skincare Gems Available At Boots

When it comes to skincare, I use high end and budget brands. I have never been a skincare or makeup snob, because some cheaper products can be 10 times better than their expensive alternatives and vice versa. You never know until you try it for yourself.

Urban Decay Naked On The Run Palette

I love a good Urban Decay Gift Set/Palette. They always get it right. Their newest release is Naked On The Run - a stunning box of goodies, featuring everything you need to get you through the party season. What's inside?

The Library Of Fragrance

If you are a fan of simple and unusual scents, you will love The Library Of Fragrance. I have only discovered them recently, but I am already obsessed. The idea behind the brand is to capture all the wonderful smells that surround us every day and at the moment there is over 100 scents to choose from.

GUCCI FRAGRANCE & BAG GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone! I teamed up with Beauty Base to offer you a chance to win some amazing prizes. There will be 7 winners in total and the main prize is a Gucci bag filled with Gucci fragrances (worth £600). There are 6 runner up prizes as well (worth £300).

October Favourites

It's my favourite time of the month again :) I just love sharing my most loved products with you. It is mostly makeup this time, but also a couple of other bits & bobs.

Bobbi Brown Scotch On The Rocks Collection

There is one collection I already added to my Christmas wishlist - Bobbi Brown Scotch On The Rocks. All the products are absolutely stunning and I had to share some of the gorgeous photos with you. 

Inner Me Diaries Challenge (6 week trial)

I was recently asked by Inner Me, if I want to trial their Inner Me Daily 4 Me (Younger Years For Teens & Twenties) for a period of 6 weeks and as someone who really cares about nutrition, I couldn't say no. 

MAC Cream Colour Base in Improper Copper

I am always trying new highlighters (it's an addiction) and the newest one in my extensive collection is the MAC Cream Colour Base in Improper Copper (£15.50). I wanted something really warm and almost bronze and I got exactly what I was looking for.

Makeup Revolution The One Blush Sticks

I have been dying to try NARS Multiples and I actually got one recently, but the price tag is a bit scary, if you are a beauty addict and want them all, haha :) The new  Makeup Revolution The One Blush Sticks* (£5.00 each) are a perfect purse friendly alternative though and they are actually pretty good!

Kim Kardashian Inspired Makeup Look With Crownbrush

No matter how much you love or hate Kim Kardashian... you have to admit, that she is gorgeous and her makeup is absolutely flawless. She seems to be choosing less dramatic eye makeup at the moment, with less liner etc, but I have always loved her cat eye and nude lip combo and that's the option I chose to recreate. Well... I tried my best anyway :) I shared some photos of this look on my instagram a while ago (heavily filtered), but I couldn't wait to let you know what products I used etc.
