MAC Pro-Longwear Blusher in ' Blush All Day' // Debenhams // £19

I love MAC blushers as I really do think they are great value for money as they last a long time and the pigment is always beautiful. The latest in my collection is this Pro-Longwear Blusher in Blush All Day, in the packaging it is a peachy nude with a subtle shimmer of sparkle, on your cheeks this adds a lovely glow and creates lovely rosie cheeks. 

I love that this shade is easily build-able which means I can only apply a small soft amount for a subtle day wear but I can also use this blusher to make a more dramatic look if wanted. Out of all the MAC blushers this has to be my recently new favourite as it's just a perfect shade for me and I would definitely recommend you ladies picking this shade up for your collection.

What blushers would you recommend?

I was a little excited when a parcel arrived at my home with these little beauties in them. I have always been a fan of Real Technique's brushes so I was very intrigued at their new limited edition essential collection.

Unlike other Real Technique's the handles of these brushes have a silver metallic design which adds a luxury feel. Each brush head is hand cut to allow precise applicable and the bristles are all ultra plush, cruelty-free and duo-fibre.

In this set you get a duo-fibre powder brush, a cheek brush, a base eye shadow brush, angled shadow brush and an eyeliner brush.

I was rather excited to use these as I have always been rather impressed with Real Technique's brushes however I have to say I am a little disappointed with these as I expected more out of these brushes. Don't get me wrong they are still really good and the bristles are really soft when used on skin but the quality of these brushes are not as good as the original core collection and I expected them to be better as they are a limited edition.

I still think the set is lovely and it would be perfect for a Christmas present. The set is currently available from Boots at £29.99* for the set.

Have you tried this Limited Edition collection? What do you think of this set?

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream 50ml Gift Set £47.00* Boots

I am a little behind the trend in getting this fragrance but it really was worth the wait! I received this as a leaving gift from my lovely colleagues and I was so happy as I had been lusting after this for so long.

Daisy Dream was inspired by the spirit of daisies and blue sky and represents an innocent and free girl. Marc Jacobs says that Daisy Dream embodies a new take on being youthful, spirited and romantic whilst reflecting a sense of elegance and femininity.

The fragrance notes are a beautiful cocktail of fruits and florals and this fragrance captivates the notes of blackberry, fresh grapefruit and pear along with the feminine floral scents of jasmine, lychee and blue wisteria to finish with a dreamy scent of white woods, musks and coconut water.

The bottle is just WOW! You can always expect something magical from Marc Jacobs as this bottle is just to die for, it is possibly one of the bottles that I will keep on my dresser even when it's empty. 

It's hard to review and describe a fragrance as I find that a fragrance is personal, but Daisy Dream has a soft and subtle burst of floral and fruits mixed together to create a delicate day fragrance that I think will suit everyone. 

If passing by in Boots I would recommend passing by the fragrance counter and trying this, I am sure you will love it too! 

What do you think of Daisy Dream?

This post is well overdue as I should have posted this a few weeks ago but as you probably know I have been a little quiet as I have been rather busy. 

A month ago, on my travels to Spain I was shopping in the Ondara Shopping Centre near Javea (which is amazing by the way, they have a Zara Home! - I know) and I was introduced to KIKO Make-Up. I had previously heard wonderful things about this Italian cosmetics brand but they only have a few stores in the UK all of which happen to be absolutely no-where near where I live, and as I am a little funny when it comes to trying new make-up I didn't want to buy online incase I didn't get what I wanted, so sadly for me I never got to try anything in person.

Needless to say I was so impressed as the store and the cosmetic range is absolutely to die for! Everything is so reasonably priced and the pigmentation of the products is amazing. I couldn't believe my little green eyes when I seen these KIKO Kiss Balms - look familiar? I thought so too! 









They are the BEST dupe I have ever seen and I think I actually prefer these (in case you are wondering they are an amazing dupe of BeneTINT lip balms by Benefit Cosmetics)! 

Normally I find lip balms quite sticky so I get put off using them and will usually end up using a moisturising lipstick but in store I managed to try these before purchasing and oh wow I was impressed, the texture is really creamy but not glossy and the subtle tint is just enough to give you a little pop colour. 

When using these lip balms my lips were instantly hydrated and felt really soft - each lip balm is also scented (varies on different shades) so it make's your lips feel and smell divine. I guess that's why they are called Kiss Balms.

I picked up Shade 06 Blackberry which is subtle plum purple colour, its enough to wear every day without feeling overdressed with your make-up and Shade 01 Apricot which is a soft coral colour, this shade actually looks brighter in the tube but when worn it is a beautiful subtle coral that just lightens your lips. Both shades are scented exactly as the name and the finish on these lip balms are soft and creamy without leaving your lips with an over glossed look.

As these were purchased in Spain I picked these up for €4.10 each which converted to around £3.29 which is super amazing, you can get these on the UK website here which are a little more expensive than being purchased in the EU but still very reasonable at less than £6 a pop.

I absolutely love KIKO and I am a newly converted fan, I am so chuffed that I was introduced to their products. Any ladies who live in London, you are very lucky as I am told there are around 3 stores - I am sorry if I am wrong and I will definitely be trying to get the whole collection and I will certainly be trying a range of their products. 

Have you tried KIKO Kiss Balms? Are there any KIKO products that you would recommend?

There isn't a style I love more than big voluminous curls, I forever lust over Rosie - The Londoner hair as it just always looks gorgeous! Sadly for me, I have super thick hair and curls never usually stay in for very long. I have searched far and wide for curlers that work well on my hair and actually stay in and it had to be something that I can use myself. 

I was very fortunate to have been invited to the Mark Hill Launch and I was introduced to some amazing products, one of them I was kindly gifted too at the event. Ladies and gent's I introduce you to Mark Hill's Limited Edition Wild Waver Hot Wand...








The Limited Edition Wild Waver Hot Wand has a ceramic barrel and can heat up to 200 degrees in a matter of seconds, means you can have smooth defined waves literally straight away. Mark Hill say you don't need to be a professionally trained stylist to create this look or to use this tool and this is just perfect for me as I am a complete amateur. 

I have used the photo's from the event as being honest, I preferred the photos (haha) but you can see below the end results. 

 



Mark Hill Limited Edition Wild Waver Hot Wand £59.99*

I absolutely LOVE this took and it is something I can use myself quite easily, I plan to start doing YouTube video's shortly so when I eventually get round to it I will upload a tutorial using the MH Wand but in the mean time if you want to pick one up you will be pleased to know they are currently half price at Boots which means they are only £29.99 - Link 

Do you use any of Mark Hill products? Are you going to pick up this product?

I really cannot believe it is November already! I am soooo sorry that it has been so long since I posted, the last time I posted was just before I went to Spain for two weeks, I have been home a month but it only feels like last week. I have been so busy I didn't realise how long ago it really was until now, but I have lots of exciting things to share with you. 

Image Source: Provided from our Venue.

First things first is we can finally announce that we have set a date! YIPPEEEEE. It was long time coming but whilst we was on holiday in Spain we viewed several venues, funnily enough the venue which we had our eyes on before we went was the one we most disliked however we fell in love with a beautiful traditional Spanish venue and we were able to secure our date for next year - completely exciting! Sadly it's not a legal wedding as we are not Spanish residents so we will still need to arrange to get married in the UK but we are really looking forward to this blessing as it also means a lot of our family who live in Spain can be there also.

For those who don't know we are getting married in Spain so we will share our journey as planning a wedding takes a lot of time anyway, never mind when you are not getting married in your country of residence (we never really took the easy option! haha) so to help anyone who is planning their wedding abroad or for anyone that wants to follow our journey we will try and update you where possible. We will be keeping a lot of our location and plans secret as we have a lot planned for our guests but we will share with you what we can and if you are planning a wedding whether in the UK or abroad and want to know any advice then feel free to message me.

I have also been quite busy since coming back from my holiday as I started a new job the week after I returned, it's all going really well and it's a lot better than my previous job and it is not as stressful so it means I now have more time to focus on my studying and on my blog :) YAY!

This was just a quick post to let you know what I have been up to but I will be posting a lot more now and I can hopefully get back on track with everything :)

Glo & Ray was a brand I hadn't heard of but that didn't stop me from getting a little excited when these beautiful products popped through my door one morning. The products are all beautifully packed but simple, something I like with packaging and the products look rather exciting too.



Glo & Ray Mariposa Eyeshadow Quad in Aegean Blue £12.50* Link

These colours are just divine and have a gorgeous vibrant pigment, there is three shades of blue and one grey shimmer in this quad which is perfect to allow you to create an ombre look. I haven't swatched this as the colours aren't something I suit as blue seems to flush me out but the shades are beautiful and would definitely suit a more cooler skin tone.





Glo & Ray La Amo Matte Lipstick in Barbie Kiss £12.00* Link

This lipstick is a creamy matte lip colour, is applied beautifully. Enriched with a unique blend you can apply this lip colour just once to create a beautiful dazzling shade and super soft lips. If you are a fan of MAC lipsticks this is a great dupe to MAC St Germain and is definitely worth picking up.





Glo & Ray Nuage Solo Blush in Halo Pink £11.00* Link

This has to be one of the most beautiful pigment of blushes I have ever seen, creating a luminous and dimensional finish. The texture is velvety and applied smoothly, this blush is easy build-able to be able to use a natural look or more dramatic look either way the finish is flawless and the golden shimmer really adds a beautiful glow to your skin. If you're a fan of NARS Orgasm this is a great dupe and I absolutely love this blusher, I think it is my new favourite blush.

What do you think of Glo & Ray cosmetics? Are there any products that you want to pick up?
