End of 2014 Empties

Hello there;

So its coming up to the final couple of days of 2014. So before I crack out my Favourites of 2014 posts. I want to show you items Ive used up in the past couple of months. I have made a point to use up what I have in my stash as I knew Christmas was gonna add to it! I think I did fairly well, 23 products. 

December BirchBox - Put On Your Party Shoes

Hello there;

Was it just me, or was you expecting a Christmas themed box this month?! 

No, you too. Good. Saying that though, Birchbox do go against the grain with their boxes. 

This month the amazing designer Sophia Webster has designed the box, I love the look of the box. Show me a girl that doesn't like jewels!  I am also a huge fan of mint green. Win win situation for me. But I know your not here to find out what colours I love, you want know to find out what is inside. 

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!! 

I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Now go eat lots of food, drink a lot of drinks and enjoy your family time.

Oh and all of them wonderful presents :)

Perfect Party Palette* & Discount Code!

Hello there;

Seeing as the new year is slowly coming up which more than likely means drunken celebrations. MeMeMe has created this gorgeous palette that will suit any party.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Velour*

Hello there;

If you have been on here before, then you will be fully aware of my love for Make Up Revolution. 

You will also know I was a huge fan of their Velvet Lacquers. When I found out they were doing another version, I just knew I needed to try them out! 

Lush New Shampoo Bar

Hello there;

You know when you buy something, all excited to try it out, get home put it somewhere safe and then forget ALL about it? Yep I did exactly that with this. I mean its been in my cupboard for months. Odds are it out of date but I am still going to use it as I brought it and there is no way I am going to throw it away now is there! 

 I can remember the day when I brought it, I was desperate for my hair to grow. My hair literally takes an age to grow. So when I saw that Lush had a hair stimulating shampoo bar, I knew I needed to try it out. 

FAST FORWARD 4 MONTHS...

LanoLips Giveaway

Hello there;

Who doesn't want amazing feeling lips and hands in this horrible cold weather? Exactly everyone wants to feel soft and hydrated. Lanolips has made this gorgeous tin for this Christmas. I am lucky enough to already own Lanolips, so I thought I would give back to my amazing readers! 

Charlotte Tilbury*

Hello there;

Around a month ago now, I was very fortunate enough to win Every Little Thing one year of blogging giveaway. I adore Ella's blog so please do go check her out, she is so sweet. Winning this giveaway gave me the chance to pick out any Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow quad and lipstick. Which I can tell you know is so hard to do. Especially when you want them all! 

Quick disclaimer, I could not get decent photos of these products as no photos will ever justify how beautiful they are.

Empties #6

Hello there;

I have a massive back log of these posts to get through. I am making a conscious effort to get through my products before the new year!

Hello December

Hello December, where did you come from? With your chilly mornings and dark afternoons. I can't say I am pleased to see you, I am much more of a summer person. But alas you are here so please make yourself welcome and no snow this year?!

With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I would pop out the products I am highly lusting after.

There is a slight Blusher theme here. That is not intentional, I just fancy a lot of blushers right now.

Enjoy!

Maybelline Baby Skin Cool Rose

Hello there;

Well I never made it a secret that I wasn't a fan of the original Baby Skin, I still use it because I paid for it and I don't want it go to waste. But when Maybelline brought out the Cool Rose as a blogger I got intrigued and had to try it out.

Let me introduce Brazened Honey.

Make Up Revolution - Double Flick*

Hello there;

I have been an avid eyeliner wearer for a lot of years. Really as long as I can remember. I used to be sent to the bathroom to take it off for wearing it at school. So naturally I am on the look out for the perfect gel, liquid, kohl liner. Now I believe I have found my gel. But have I now found the most perfect liquid liner?! 

Base Magazine

Hello there;

A few months ago I got sent a free on line version of Base Magazine. I loved it. So when I saw on Twitter they were releasing another issue, I was so excited. This time I went for the paper version, this way I can read it in the bath and not be worried I will drop my phone into the bath. 

November BirchBox - Cosy At Home

Hello there;

It's BirchBox time! 

This months theme is Cosy At Home. Such a perfect concept for this time of the year. There is nothing better than being all cosy warm at home, when Winter is slowly creeping upon us.

Pure & Light Organic Toner*

Hello there;

I'm sure I am not the only one out there who's face become an oil slick in the colder months. My skin drives me mad with it. So toners are a key in my skincare routine, I need to keep that oil at bay and trying to find the perfect toner to do that will always be my life's mission. But when I was recently sent the Pure & Light Organic Essential Floral Toner, I was so excited to try it out!

FabbBirmingham - 26.10.2014

Hello there;

On Sunday the 26th October, myself and Charli did the short distance to Birmingham to attend our first ever Fabb event! I had heard how much fun these were in the past and when the chance to go to one myself came around, well how could I not attend. Quick disclaimer, this post has A LOT of photos.

Color Wow*

Hello there;

A little while ago I received the ever so exciting Blogger Mail, which for any blogger is SO exciting. Inside my parcel was the Color Wow Color Security Shampoo, £16.50*.

I had never heard of Color Wow before, but boy was I glad I received this as I am currently going through the process of lightening to my hair. So naturally I want to keep my colour as light as possible without it becoming dull. 

High End & Drug Store Setting Sprays

Hello there;

I have been using my Urban Decay All Nighter for a long while now. As you can tell it is the old packaging. But sadly it is nearly at the end. Which got me on the look out for a cheaper alternative. Once again Make Up Revolution has stepped up for the challenge. 

Xenca Perfection Eyeshadow*

Hello there;

Last month when I went to the Nottingham meet up, the lovely Suzie from Xenca gave us a talk on her brand. It was amazing! After going through all of the products, we were allowed to pick an item to take home. I could not resist this duo! 

Push Lipgloss Quad*

Hello there; I am the first to admit I hardly wear lip gloss and because of this I hardly own any. But I want to start to wear them and love them. So when I was contacted asking to try out a Push Lip Gloss Quad £18, I was all over it. 
I went for the Curves Ahead.

Make Up Revolution Haul

Hello there;

So now I am hooked on Make Up Revolution. So a cheeky little payday purchase had to be made. And when you pay just under £25 for 6 items, you know its a bargain! 

Body Shop BB Cream

Hello there;

I am forever looking for a boastable BB cream. And I may need to put my search on hold for a while. Please let me introduce the Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream, £12 25ml.

Another Dupe?! O'Boy!

Hello there;

You looking for a Daniel Sandler Water Colour Blush dupe? Well look no further, instead of paying £14.50, you will be paying only £3. Make Up Revolution strikes again with another fabulous dupe.

October BirchBox - Work It!

Hello there;

Its BirchBox time! 

And this month its a very special month as BirchBox has collaborated with CoppaFeel. If you don't know what CoppaFeel is, its a charity all based on Breast Cancer. Which for any woman is a scary thought. For more information on this amazing charity please visit their website here.

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan

Hello there;

I know I will probably get told off for this, but I used to go on the sun beds, a lot. Up to two times a week and sometimes 12 minutes at a time. Then I got a severer telling off from my mum, I knew I needed to stop but I enjoyed it too much. I hate being pale. After this telling off, I did stop so it was time to start using fake tan. I have used fake tan in the past, usually Fake Bake or St. Tropez. They are fantastic self tanners, I cannot take that away from them. But there is a cheeky little Irish company on the market that is taking their spotlight a tad. Cocoa Brown. 

Cocoa Brown firstly are fantastic with interacting with their customers. I have many a conversation with them on Twitter. I knew I had to try their products just from them being so friendly. It was Marissa Carters aim to make a fake tan that dried fast, didn't have the typical fake tan smell and looked natural. Did she manage it though?!

Empties #5

Hello there;

Another post of looking through my rubbish!

3.10.14 - Nottingham Lush Event

Hello there;

I was so lucky to get a last minute invite to my local Lush store to see the launch of the Halloween and Christmas lines! I had seen some sneak peaks of the new lines over the blogging world a few days before, so I was uber excited to actually go into store and smell all the smells! 

I had a mad rush from finishing work at 5pm to getting in Nottingham by half 6. I made it JUST. Quite impressed with myself, seeing as my make up went on pretty well and it only took me 30 minutes to do. Even the eyebrows looked like sisters! Anywho, upon arriving I met up with some of the other bloggers who were attending. 

Warning this post is photo heavy.

Bubble Bars

What You Waiting For?!

Hello there;

Now let me talk about a brand today that I am sure needs no introduction. Make Up Revolution. These guys popped up on my Twitter timeline about 7-8 months ago and well they took over the Beauty Blogger world in a flash. One question I need to ask myself is, WHY did it take you so long to buy any of their products?! Ive been missing out 100%, but I am here to change that. If you saw my Superdrug haul a couple of weeks ago, you know that I brought a few Make Up Revolution goodies. The first I am going to review is the What You Waiting For? Palette.

500 Followers Giveaway!

Hello there;

I still can't believe I have reached 500 followers. Why do you guys even read this?! Either way, thank you. So as a little treat for you all, I thought I would do a little giveaway. Firstly do you know how hard it is to purchase this little gift and not use it. A lot of self control was used! 

I will be giving away ONE Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot gift set.

Lush Haul

Hello there;

The second haul post for me from the Nottingham Meet Up shopping trip. What is a shopping trip without going into Lush?! Not a very good one I can tell you! I was quite well behaved on this trip only leaving with three items.
