*BeautyUK, posh pout, baked bronzer and highbrows!*

BeautyUK were lovely enough to send me three of their amazing products; i've only ever used their nailpolishes before and i've always thought they were amazing because they've always lasted me well (lack of chips) and they've always came in such amazing colours. My fave is defiantly the shade no.8 - red, which is a lovely bright vibrant shade. BeautyUk products are quite cheap which is why i've never purchased anything other than nailpolish from there. When the three products (posh pout, baked bronzer and highbrows) i'd chosen had arrived i was surprised at how good the quality was and i couldn't wait to use them! The next day i was lucky enough to visit the Clothes Show Live, which i thought would be the perfect opportunity to test my new products out:

  • New Baked Bronzer Box in shade no.4 - goddess: this product is beyond amazing, the pigments are so gorgeous. I lightly dusted this on top of my Nivea moisturizer for a more natural coverage, and added a little more to my cheeks to make them more defined. With this product i found that i only had to re-apply it when my skin became a bit shinny, and a long with my shine control pads it was only a quick 2min re-applying job! This product is such good quality and for the bargain price of  £3.99 what more could you want!


  • New Posh Pout chunky lip crayons in shade no.3 - power to the purple: I wouldn't normally purchase bright lip products but i think i have been converted, I found that this was long lasting, smudge resistant product which i would highly recommend. It comes in a wide range of shades which means there is one for every outfit and occasion and for only £2.99 what are you waiting for! This is the perfect party product as it will last you all night long! 


  • New Highbrow eyebrow kit: I saved the best till last, this browtastic kit includes 3 different eyebrow shades, a wax, tweezers and a double ended applicator brush. This is the perfect kit to make you brows look tidy and natural, there's only 2 steps to achieving you perfect brows, firstly decide your shape and apply the wax into that shade then using the other end of the applicator decide on your colour, there's 3 to choose from 1Light, 2Medium and 3Dark. Then apply you chosen colour over the wax and hay presto you're done! I found that it lasted and perfect brows are quick and easy to achieve and it only costs £3.99!   

*Floris London heavenly scents!*

Around a month ago i was kindly sent a sample of the new Soulle Ambar fragrance as well as four other scents, Night Scented Jasmine, Fleur, White Rose and Amaryllis.
These scents are very floral based, normally i wouldn't be a big fan of this but Floris have defiantly made them all to die for! My favorite scents are Fleur, Soulle Ambar and White Rose. These are my favorites because they aren't overwhelming but they're not unnoticeable. Plus they all smell so gorgeous! All of these scents are very elegant and are perfect for any occasion. They have many different scents to choose from which means that there is something for everyone.
Their new Soulle Ambar scent was launched on the 5th of September, the name (Soulle Ambar) of Spanish origin meaning sunlight and eastern wind which reflects the Floris family's roots in the Mediterranean island of Minorca. "Lentisque and galbanum create an elegant, modern green accord balanced with fresh crisp fruit before opening up to a rich floral heart of jasmine, geranium and melilot, complimented with spicy resinous notes and tingling pink peppercorns. Soft vanilla, amber and musk provide a warm, sensual base to complete the fragrance."

*Mr.Nutcase personalized phone cases!*

This week I was lucky enough to have the chance to create my very own personalized phone case and i loved the whole experience of it! Mr Nutcase gives you the opportunity to create a one of a kind phone case, with all of you favourite pictures and memories attached to it. I found their site very easy to use and was surprised at all of the different photo collage designs you could choose from, as well as there being two different types of casing to choose from! I decided i liked the slimline phone case more than the flip-leather styled one, when it came to it i decided on the 10 picture option for my collage as i didn't want my pictures to turn out to small and grainy. I was also very surprised on how quickly my case arrived, it only took five days to get here. Make sure you check Mr Nutcase out!!

Top 5 MUA Make-up products

MUA (Make Up Academy) is a cosmetic brand sold exclusively in Superdrug. All of the items are priced from £1 to £5. @bethyshares actually introduced me to this brand around 3 years ago when it first came out and since then I've tried many products from this brand, for such a small amount you get a really good quality product. All of these products would be ideal stocking fillers. I'm going to share with you my 5 ultimate favorites: 
Starting with their amazing lipsticks, i have about ten of these and for a £1 whats not to love! They have really nice pigments in them, i find them long lasting and drink proof (you know when you have a drink and you lipstick ends up over the glass and smudges all over your face? yeah that doesn't happen with this lipstick!). It is one of the best lip stick brands I've ever used, i especially love the range of colours this product comes in. I would highly recommend this lipstick, it would also be a perfect stocking filler for all of the girlys  in your life! The picture bellow is the shade 14 bare, this is my fave shade because it's neutral and goes with any look. I take this lipstick every where with me and i only have to re-apply it two to three times a day and i always re-apply it after meals.

The next product from MUA i use on a daily basis is the eye shadow 'Undress me too' palette, i like the colours in this palette because they are nice neutral shades which can go with any outfit choice. This palette cost me £4.00 and i purchased it when it first came out around 3-4 months ago. This eye shadow collection contains 12 different pigmented colours and also came with a small double ended make up brush to apply it with. All of the shades in this palette are very warm and will compliment any skin tone. I use this product nearly every day and it's lasted me really well, I've tried out all of the different shades and it skill looks brand new! The shades contained in this palette are:
  • Naked 
  • Devotion 
  • Shy 
  • Fiery 
  • Lavish 
  • Dreamy 
  • Tranquil 
  • Exposed 
  • Reveal 
  • Wink
  • Obsessed 
  • Corrupt
My personal favorite is the shade wink. 
 MUA nail varnish comes in a variety of different colours and for only a pound whats now to like?! Being a typical teenage girl i have a zillion nail polishes but always find that I'm missing the one colour i actually want to use, i only own one MUA nail polish but i would defiantly purchase more. I found that it lasted 3-5 days on my nails, but being the type of girl who paints their nails all the time and i didn't expect it to last more than a few days. The packaging is really cute and dainty, the bottles are very small but for a pound you can't go wrong. These are a perfect stocking filler for all the lovely ladies in your life, the pastel colours are my ultimate fave!! 
I love their lip stains, they're called 'Kiss Proof' and the name is DEFO right. I love the different pink shades they come in too, these would be ideal if you're going out to dinner or a party as there would be no need to re-apply the product. I found that i only had to apply the products every few hours as it lasts really well. Also it doesn't dry out your lips and they stay moisturized. It's really quick and easy to apply as it has a felt tip end which makes it easier to fill in your lips. It comes in 3 different shades, light to dark. They cost £3 each, which goes a long way because it's such a long lasting product. I'd give this product a 4/5 as if the lid is left off the product will dry out quite quickly. 
My fifth and final favorite product is the MUA pro-base 'Conceal and Brighten Kit', i love this kit because it covers all of your blemishes. This kit retails for £3.50, you get three different shades of concealer and brightener in each kit and they have three different skin shade kits to choose from so you'll always have one perfect fro your skin. I found this kit really easy to use and its really light and compact which means you can take it anywhere with you, the only down side i had with this product was the packaging; the clear plastic lid on my kit broke off within a month and the back of the   plastic broke in half. Other than that i would highly recommend this product.

Vaseline moisturizer review!

 
I've used Vaseline products for as long as i can remember, so when their new spray on moisturizer came about i couldn't resist trying it for myself. They have three different scented moisturizers, i went for the coco scented one. Normally i go for the body shop coco body butter, which retails for around £6.50 for 100g but it does go a long way and does tend to last me for up to two months.  I purchased the Vaseline moisturizer  from Boots and it was around £5.95, being the bargain hunter i am means that i wouldn't normally spend this much on a moisturizer but because i'd seen really good reviews i decided to give it a go. After using this product for just over a week, i noticed a real difference in my skin, i don't have naturally dry skin but i did notice that my skin become softer and more hydrated. Also the smell of this is amazing, it's such a tasty smell and if it was edible i would defiantly demolish it. Also i noticed that this product wasn't at all sticky like previous products i had used and it dries instantly which is ideal when you are in a rush. Unfortunately the only down side with  this product is that it doesn't last as long as expected, my spray only lasted me around 2-3 weeks. I would defiantly re-purchase this product and i would highly recommend it. :)
This is my own personal opinion on this product and has not been influenced by anyone else.

Outlet Shopping at Bicester Village, Bargains centeral!!

So on Tuesday last week i was lucky enough to visit Bicester Designer Outlet Village, and oh my it lived up to my expectations. It took around 2 and a half hours to get there, but it was so worth it. It had everything from Dior to Cath Kidston, and there was so many great bargains to be had . So obviously i took full advantage of this, i did end up spending way to much but a girl needs lots of pretty things; right? 
So first of all i purchased some Calvin Klein boxer shorts for my boyfriend and they were 2 for £20, which in my eyes is a complete bargain! As they retail for about £18-£20 per pair even in Tk-Max. The second purchase made was actually a Christmas present from my mum, she brought me a lovely Highbury Rose Open Carry-All Bag from Cath Kidston which cost £18 instead of £26, i am so in love with it and the pattern is so pretty. I think it's the perfect size to fit all the pointless things us girls like to carry round with us. After a few more hours of walking around lusting over thing's I'll never be lucky enough to own, i ended up in Ted Baker and to my surprise i found a Large Cream and Black Patent Bow Ikon Bag for a bargain price of...£11! i know i couldn't believe my luck i paid £11 instead of £35 for a brand new bag from Ted Baker. I've been wanting one of these bags for ages and finally owning one has made me so happy. I know 2 bags in one day is still bad but i promise they're really worth it, after all a girl can never have to many bags. I purchased a lovely checkered shirt from Levi's which is actually a mans shirt, but i really liked it and it only cost me £20 so i thought i might as well treat myself. I think it would look great with a white cami underneath it for a laid back look or buttoned up under a baggy knitted jumper for a smarter styled look.
Next i popped into Mulberry with my mum to look at all the lovely bags and accessories, when we came across this lovely heart shaped broach with an engraved Mulberry tree symbol on it, it was £15 reduced from £48 and as my mum had taken a liking to it i decided to be the best daughter and treat her to it
for her birthday the next day. I also brought two pairs of lovely thick knitted winter socks from Jack Wills which only cost me £5 per pair. They normally retail at £12.50 per pair so i thought that £5 wasn't that bad considering that's half of the retail price.
As i was leaving i was intrigued by the Swarovski Crystal shop, and as i entered i spotted the most cutest Hello Kitty bracelet and because i am seriously obsessed with anything Hello Kitty this became a definite purchase. I am unsure on the retail price of this bracelet but i scrapped the rest of my money together to purchase it at the reasonable outlet price of £39.99. It;s very girly and very sparkly so it's the perfect accessory for the Christmas season and i will enjoy wearing it all year long.

I  apologize for the very very very long entry, hopefully the next one will be shorter. I would highly recommend the Bicester Outlet shopping Village for all your Christmas shopping, plus think of all the incredible savings!!
