Review: Pouty Lipzz


 
At the moment I find celebrities seem to be all about the pout, the huge lips but what they seem to not get quite right is that they don't look natural, personally the more natural the more beautiful so here is a product to help achieve a natural pout. 

Pouty Lipzz  is a new brand which has come to the UK. Pouty Lipzz's is a clear, fragrance free lipgloss in a sleek tube which is meant to make lips "look instantly more contoured, plumped, fuller and moisturised".

Pouty Lipzz states that it can give up to 40% more volume when applied three times a day for 29 days.

What I love about this product is that it doesn't hurt, it makes me feel awake and minty fresh but in no way does it irritate or cause pain so its a winner. Whether I got a 40% improvement on my volume I got to say I couldn't tell by how much in percentage wise but after 2 weeks I have found that I prefer to wear this gloss on top of lipstick to help create a Kylie Jenner lip look, it helps give me a natural pout to give any lip filler a run for its money!

Available at www.poutylipzz.co.uk for £19.99.

OOTD: Blazer Love


I have an obsession with blazers, there we go I admitted it, I am OBSESSED! I adore structure, a blazer that fits like a glove with unique detail. A blazer can transform a look, it can make a look go from your average outfit to a strut your stuff kinda outfit.

Review: Yves Rocher

Hello beautiful readers,
 
Hope you are all well. I am so excited for christmas and trying to get all the finishing touches completed. Todays review is around a brand, Yves Rocher a french brand that brings glamour and great value. I was lucky enough to be sent these three products.
 
Yves Rocher Lipstick.
 
This moisturising lipstick is in the shade Rose Alba. This particular lipstick is quite sheer, it adds a subtle pink finish to the lips, in comparison with MAC finishes it is a frost finish. The lipstick is such a pretty colour, it left my lips moisturised but I did need to reapply frequently.

Yves Rocher Flowerparty by night perfume.
 
I normally go for particular brands of perfume and never think to order from places like Yves Rocher especially when I cant smell the scents. I opened the box to find a cute flower top detail bottle, it looked expensive. It stated it was a "spicy night time version with an addictive liquorice accent". I sprayed this scent and I cant stress enough how beautiful this scent is, has now become one of  my favourite scents, it is long lasting  and such a gorgeous unusual scent. It is floral but sweet which is perfect, it has a subtle spicy note. I adore this and wear it everyday. Would highly recommend this.

Yves Rocher Mascara.
 
Yves Rocher waterproof mascara. This mascara is stating is is a "lash plumping" mascara, I have to admit I dont feel this mascara necessarily gives yours lashes an oomph, but it definately lengthens. I love the brush, it separates the lashes and defines each lower lash which is something I need for my lashes. It is waterproof and didnt budge when water was applied, yet is not hard to take off with eye makeup remover. I still think the Yves Rocher Sexy Pump mascara is my favourite.

Have you tried any of the Yves Rocher range?

Christmas Inspiration: Decoration



Christmas is near.......

So here is deal guys, its nearly Christmas, literally its round the corner and I find each year it smacks me in the face and says "Oh Hey Im back!" First things first is Christmas decoration, I love it all and get so excited to dress the house so here are some inspiring pictures taken from google.com.



I love white teamed with green foliage and candle light, so pretty and effective for Christmas, reminds me of the sun glistening on the snow.



I always buy different decorations each christmas, nothing on my tree matches and I love that, so I have everything from vintage christmas tree decorations to christmas cushions which dont match but somehow work together really well. Each decoration reminds me of each year which has a story. 





There is something about a real Christmas tree that I cant get away from, to me its Christmas, the smell and excitement of purchasing one, as a child I loved this part of Christmas, I used to get sad as I thought all the trees had feelings and would be left outside, unloved whilst we took a special one home decorating it and singing Christmas songs. 

Christmas is a time of year for love and hope, wishes and dreams. Christmas can be a lovely time for families but we also need to remember those who don't have that unit, who don't have that feeling of love and hope. Lets never forget them and make sure we always give to charities and looking at helping out at a homeless shelter or your local soup run.

How do you have your Christmas tree? What is your favourite type of Christmas decoration?

OOTD: Its all about the fluffy jumper....

Hi Loveys,

What a cold few days its been, time for warm furry jumpers teamed with pencil skirts and purple lipstick! I love teaming big jumpers like this one from New Look with a pencil skirt, loving a bold print. Leopard print and purple go so well together.

As you all know I love finding bargains on Ebay, this bag was from that wonderful website! A studded turquoise clutch bag with a chunky chain from Primark was what I needed to make this look complete.

Review: Eye Of Horus Eye Pencil



Hi beautiful readers, 

Today is a review on *Eye Of Horus eye pencil in Scarab Sapphire Goddess Pencil. This pencil has a deep blue soft textured pencil with a smudger at the other end to help give that smokey eye look. I have fallen in love with felt tip liners and therefore have not used a pencil for quite some time. I applied this on my lower lash line and used the smudger to smudge the pencil to soften the look. The colour is an intense blue which looks black on intial application, its a stunning colour that gives an exotic look. The colour lasts all day without streaming, it is such a soft pencil and glides on easily. I found the smudger a god send, helping me create smokey looks in seconds.
