Guest post: Need a Boost?

Sometimes mornings can just be unbearable, especially on a Monday morning after a lively weekend. 

Equally, by the time the working week has ended, you can sometimes feel like crawling into bed and going into hibernation. 

This tired feeling can have negative effects on us – lack of concentration, loss of appetite and loss of enthusiasm, which can be a real problem when you have a family to deal with.

   This is something that a lot of us experience, so we seem to take it as a given and not bother trying to do anything about it. However, something can be done. 

Have you ever considered aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the practice of using scents and essential oils to create desired effect.

Melvita Apicosma Creamy Cleansing Milk and 3 Honeys Balm Review

I've only heard good things about Melvita, especially their Rose range. I was kindly sent two products from the Apicosma skincare collection and I am very impressed with them.  I also got an Apicosma face cream in a beauty box a couple of days ago and I am seriously addicted to it.

The Apicosma range  uses a unique complex of three organic honeys (Thyme, Acacia and Orange Blossom) and it was designed for dry and damaged skin.

Neve Cosmetics Dessert a Levres Lipsticks Review and Swatches - Peach Macaron, Mousse Framboise and Cherry Pie

Neve Cosmetics Dessert a Levres Lipsticks* £9.50 each via www.beautychamber.co.uk

I am a sucker for pretty packaging, so I wasn't surprised when the new range of Neve Cosmetics Dessert a Levres lipsticks caught my eye. The box features pastel colours and cupcakes, so everything a girl loves, right? ;) 

Spring/Summer brights

For the first time this year I enjoyed a full day of sunshine! Yay! It means one thing - getting brights and neons on! I am loving pink, yellow and orange accessories at the moment, but I want to add more colour to my wardrobe as well. 

Sigma Resort Palette review and swatches

Sigma RESORT Palette* £35.95 via www.beautychamber.co.uk

When it comes to eyeshadows, I am an Urban Decay lover. I tried MAC, because everybody loves it, but I was slightly disappointed. Every time I try a new brand of eye shadows, I worry that it won't compare to UD. Well... Sigma simply blew me away!!! I am seriously impressed with the quality of their formula and I have been reaching for the new Resort palette every single day since it landed on my doorstep.

My high end wishlist

I am sure that most of you have a never-ending high end wish list. I constantly put expensive makeup in my online basket, but don't buy 99% of it. Why? Because it is really, really pricey and expires pretty quickly. Considering the amount of products I already have and don't use, being smart and resisting the urge of another purchase is the best option most of the time.

Organic Surge Lavender Meadow Hand Wash and Hand Cream

When it comes to everyday essentials, I am always happy to try new scents and brands. I used to be obsessed with Baylis and Harding hand washes and lotions, but I switched to natural products a long time ago and I very rarely go back to my old favourites.

Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath and Shower Oil review

Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil* £39.00

"Experience the intensely warming and easing powers of rosemary, black pepper, lavender and ginger to de-stress your body after spending too long in one position or after too much physical activity."

The Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Bath &Shower Oil is my first full size bottle of AA goodness. I must admit, I am in love with the design of the bottle. It is really simple, but looks beautiful and elegant and comes in a lovely lilac box.

A beautiful addition to my living room - silver embossed metal side table

I love interior design, so I was extremely happy when I was given a chance to feature this beautiful embossed metal side table* from Out There Interiors. I adore shabby chic and French style furniture , but this beaut is something I have never seen before. It is a mixture of French shapes and floral prints, with an unusual metal finish.

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! Today, I am reviewing two L'Oreal Glam Shine Stain Splashes I purchased, as soon as my spending ban ended. I was really looking forward to trying them, because many bloggers raved about the formula and compared it to YSL Glossy Stains.
