My lil Balmi :)

Hey lovies, 

so it's now officially snuggle weather :( and boy have my lips been feeling it. I have so many lip products for autumn like the cute vasaline tubs, the lip bitters by nivea, baby lips by maybelline and sooo many more. My lips instantly become a horid dried up mess with this wind :( 

I came across this lil beauty in my local tesco store. So I thought what harm would one more do to the collection. 

It's the Raspberry Balmi Cube. I love the packaging on this, it's do unique and cute. It comes with a lil handy cord so you can attach to any keys you have. 

The balmi provides an SPF 15 and has UVA protection as well so a bonus! It contains vit e which is an antioxidant, soothing shea butter with jojoba oil aswel, this lil cube leaves your lips feeling sooooooo moosturised, I really have fallen in love with a cube hehe

It smells amazing and can't help but think of raspberry cake when I have it on :) 

They do come in other flavours so might need to make a cheeky purchase to have them all. 

Is there any you can recommend? 

much love

Boots 24 Days Of Beauty :)

Hey lovies, 

So surely it's nearly christmas soon?? I mean c'mon even my town has Xmas lights up now (not on but there up) 

Well iv been thinking for a while I need a beauty Calander this year, I missed out last yet and I'm defo not missing out this year!! 

Iv seen a few on the market such as Lancôme, latest in beauty, Ciate nails and benefit. Then whilst at work I came across this one. 

Boots 24 Days of Beauty Treats. It looks amazing, for £30 it's a bargain as well. Most beauty calanders range from £50+, so my little devil on my shoulder just said buy me but me buy me, so erm yep it's been bought :)

It's quite heavy (this is promising) and features products from brands such as Nails inc, Rimmel, Vichy, Soap & Glory and many more. 

I'm really looking foward to opening this every day in dec, and more to blog what I get each day :) 

Are you getting a beauty Calander this year? What ones appeal to you??

Nails for the week :)

Hey lovies 

I thought I'd do just a quick post of my nails for the week. It's now come my weekly tradition of taking all my previous varnish of, dealing with my cuticles and giving them a fresh lick of paint.

 

This weeks routine was as follows .... 

Firstly I took all my previous varnish off with a conditioning varnish remover. I then took Essie's Apricot cuticle oil and massaged this into each finger, trimming off any overgrown cuticles. Then took Essie's first base and gave each nail 2 coats just to be on the safe side :) 

I then choose Essie Fiji for this weeks colour, it's a lovely pale pink remind me a little bit of cotton candy :) I put 2 coats on and let this dry. With Essie polishes they seem to dry quite quick on my nails. Finally I took Essie's good to go top coat and applied this twice to each nail :D 

Then boom you have lovely fresh colored nails for the week :D 

What are your nail routines? 

Much love

October Glossybox

Hey lovies, 

(first things first sorry for the dud pics using the phone again, silly husband has lost my new camera charger! not a happy wifey) 

So it's that time again, glossybox time! I was really excite for this box. The box has a theme of Dark Romance, to me I was thinking dark nails, lovely dark lips and just lush dark makeup for the autumn/fall season. Well wasn't I disaapointed when I opened it up :( 

First product is yet another perfume sample, for me I seem to get one in every box atm and it's just a bit boaring now, I would like something different glossybox! This sample is of Katy Perry's Killer Queen, Now I might have just had a little grumble but I do like this sample, It smells to me very floral, strong and oriental, it's lovely! It retails for £29.50 for the full size. 

Next is the Monu Illuminating Primer. Iv had a few products from Monu in previous boxes so I am looking foward trying this one out. I might do a separate review in this so look out :) It retails at £24.95 for 50ml

The Premae Multi-Vit Smoothie Serum. The product is esp for combination skin, it helps to soothe redness help hydrate your skin and combinate the dreaded shine some of is girls get. I'll give this a go or though I don't really like some serums on my face for some reason :/ It retails for £22.50 for 50ml

The Mystic Diamond Argonoil from Eva Cosmetics. Yet another Argonoil sample, I don't know how many of these iv received lately, don't get me wrong I do love Argonoil on my hair atm but to receiver yet another one is a bit of a downer. It retails for £22.70 for 100ml

Lastly is the Cherub's blush by MeMeMe,  I was hoping that this would be a dark colour for me but nope it's quite fair and pink on me, it can be used as a cheek or lip tint, kind of the same like the benefit ones but I do prefere my benefit one :) 

This retails for £5.50 for 12ml and is my full size product. 

Now I do have to say the theme is Dark Romance and none of my products say this theme in any way. I'm slowly loosing my interest and might need to change boxes I think?? How was your box? What did you get in yours? 

Much Love

Autumn bits & bobs :)

Hey lovies, 

First things first sorry aging for the phone post :( camera gas been orded and should be here fingers crossed by Friday woop woop :) 

Well lovies it truley is autumn (fall) now, it's getting dark early, cold, windy and rainy, even though it does tend to be raining in summer autumn rain is horid :( 

I definately needed cheering up so I went and did a lil shopping for a few autumn essentials! 

First I went to primark just for some thick socks and could not find any at all ?? what's going on with that? Then I came across these boots o yes the boots! I love these!! there suede effect so I won't be wearing when it rains to much and there so comfy, I love the laces on the front they make them look so cute :) The heel does not feel that high (I do have higher shoes) and they are so comfy to walk in just like walking in trainers! 

Next I bought a new lipstick, the Kate Moss by Rimmell in shade 107. This is a beautiful dark berry plum colour, I inow every one is raving about this shade and I don't blame them at all it's lush! 

I then got two of the L'oreal Paris stain glosses in shade 402 Milady and 300 Juliet. 

402 Milady is a lovely dark purple colour, it's very highly pigmented and goes on so smoothly, it doesn't feel sticky with the gloss it just feels so smooth and lovely. it definately stays on so well, iv even weaning this from when I get ready at 5am and the colour is still very visible late at night. 

300 Juliet is a dark red/coral colour (if that makes sense) again it's highly pigmented and just feels lush on my lips. I'm definately going back for more of these! 

Finally I bought another Maybellline colour tattoo. I didn't really need a reason to buy this except i love the colour tattoos and I can not have enough of them lol! 

The shade is 70 Metallic Pomegranate. a it's such a nice autumn colour, reminds me of the change of colour on the trees :) 

It makes a great base shade for a lovely purple smokey eye and works brill on its on a a wash of colour on the lids :) 

So that's my autumn bits for the time being, I'm sure il be tempted to buy more if I see any hehe :) 

What bits have you got for autumn? 

Much Love
