Hey there :)

I'm Back!!!!!!

I've missed putting blog posts up so much these past few weeks! For those of you that don't know, I was pregnant when I did my last blog post and I have since had my baby :)
I'll tell you guys more in a future post :)

Now, this post is going to be a review of a clothing company called Wendybox. They recently contacted me and actually sent me a piece to show you guys!

Wendybox are an online clothing company that specialise in on-trend pieces at affordable prices. I was totally impressed by the range of styles they offer and they really do offer affordable prices. 

The piece I chose to be sent was an amazing coat that totally reminds me of the leather sleeve trench coat by Burberry.

Hey there :)

I am a total candle and general fragrance fanatic so when I was asked by Lori Morgan, an Independent Scentsy Consultant,  if I would like to be sent some fragrance samples to share with you guys, I couldn't say no!

Scentsy offer a variety of home and personal fragrance products. These products include scented wickless candles and decorative ceramic warmers which actually provide a safer alternative to burning wicked candles. 

I was sent a Scentsy Bar and 12 scent samples and I am in love with them! I can already tell that these scents will be amazing for getting into the Christmas spirit :)


What They Say
These authentic wickless candles are perfect for refreshing the home. Simply break off a piece of your Scentsy Bar and add it to your warmer for long-lasting freshness. A warmer uses a lightbulb to slowly melt soft, scented wax bars to maximise fragrance time. The Scentsy Bar is available in more than 80 scents. 

What I Say
I absolutely love the scents I received! I was given the Scentsy Bar in the fragrance ''Mochadoodle'' and I definitely think it's the perfect Christmas scent. It's lovely and spicy with a strong hint of vanilla, my perfect scent! I love what Scentsy stand for as a company, offering a safe alternative to burning wicked candles. They also don't test on animals!

Hey there :)

The white shirt has long been considered a wardrobe staple and I have certainly embraced it since becoming pregnant.
A flowing white shirt can be so flattering over a baby bump and so comfortable!

Hey there :)

So I was recently sent the new lines of eyeshadows from the lovely people at Miners Cosmetics.

They have created 2 new lines of eyeshadows, Eyeshadow Solos + Eyeshadow Trios and I can't wait to show them to you guys! 
Let's get started :)

The Eyeshadow Solo Collection

The Shade ''Nautical''
The Shade ''Jewel''
The Shade ''Stardust''
The Shade '' Luna''

What They Say
This is an eclectic yet essential mix of both everyday classic colour eyeshadow along with fashion inspired, intense hues. 
''Luna''- A classic white shimmer. Partner with a darker hue to create the perfect smokey look.
''Stardust'' - A classic shade. A perfect base shade as well as an eye highlighter.
''Jewel'' - The deep emerald green shade has golden undertones making it a lovely twist on a smokey charcoal.
''Nautical'' - Inspired by the nautical look. This matte, navy shade is perfect to create a bold, sleek look.

What I Say
I was impressed with the quality of these shadows. I like how they have made the solo shadows more wearable with shades like Luna and Stardust (perfect highlighting colours). But they have also been bold and incorporated striking shades and the shade Jewel couldn't be more perfect for A/W!
The texture of these shadows is lovely, such a silky feeling when you put them on. They are highly pigmented but can be easily blended to give a more wearable look also. There is a little fallout with these shadows but they are definitely great for the price. 

The Eyeshadow Trio Collection

The Shade ''Humbug''
 The Shade ''Stonewashed''
 The Shade ''Safari''
The Shade ''Goddess''

What They Say
This collection is specially designed to enhance beauty and create depth. Made up of 3 blendable shades, each colour is carefully selected to compliment the other.
''Goddess'' - Stunning mix of greens and beige and will give you that air of Grecian Goddess.
''Humbug'' - A contouring collection of charcoals and white. Perfect for a smokey look.
''Safari'' - A collection of gorgeous bronze and browns for a gorgeous yet natural look.
''Stonewashed'' - Inspired by stonewashed jeans, this is the must have shade for the upcoming season.

What I Say
I love that Miners have also decided to bring out a trio collection, so handy to pop into your make up bag! The shades have all been brilliantly selected to compliment each other and I love the choice of looks these shadows offer. My favourite has to be the ''Safari'' trio, so warm and it really reminds me of autumn :)
Whether you want a natural look or a striking smokey eye, these shadows do the job a treat!

The Solo Shadows are £3.49 each.
The Trio Shadows are £3.99 each.

Hey there :)

So I was recently sent a lovely product from the skincare experts at Sampar. 
Sampar is a french skincare company, based in Paris, that believe in skincare treatments developed with active natural ingredients. The people at Sampar strive to create a brand not only with pure compositions and elegance, but also a brand created around the lifestyle of the real Parisian woman. 

The product I was sent was the Much To Dew Midnight Mask.
''It's time to release the sleeping beauty inside of you!''


What They Say
This is a uniquely concentrated skincare product that nearly perfectly mimics the skin's original hydrating film. Starting from the first night of using this overnight treatment, this mask replenishes the skin, soaking it in freshness. This promises to give 31% more moisturisation after 1 hour, leaving skin instantly quenched, plumped, supple and younger-looking. This also promises to strengthen your skin's natural defences. 

What I Say
My first impression of this product has been good. I love the brush applicator as it makes it so easy to apply the product all over the face. You apply the clear gel-like formula in a thin layer all over the face and can work it in with your fingers afterwards if you like. This felt lovely and fresh on my skin as I applied it and seemed to sink into my skin very quickly. After waking up the following morning, I washed the product off my face with warm water and was happy with the results. My skin felt lovely and soft and my cheeks felt nice and plump. I'm sure I will keep noticing a difference in my skin as I keep using this product. This is quite expensive, but if you want to treat yourself to a little bit of luxury, or if you want to buy a gift for someone who is a skincare fan, then I would recommend this product. It certainly would be a lovely treat for your skin this winter :)

This product is €39 for 50ml.

Hey there :)

I was recently sent some lovely goodies from the people at Alison Claire and am very excited to show them to you guys!

Alison Claire have created a new Body + Beauty range in response to the awareness of possible harmful effects of some chemicals found in the majority of hair and body products.

The 4 ''Nasty'' things to be aware of in other mainstream products are: 
  • Foaming agents that can irritate the skin
  • Parabens - these are preservatives that can irritate the skin and could even harm reproductive systems.
  • Phenoxyethanol - Another preservative that can depress the nervous and immune systems.
  • PEGs - These can loosen the hair from it's follicle and cause shedding.
The good news is that Alison Claire don't use any of these ingredients!


Lemongrass Shower Gel


What They Say
This contains an array of mild and natural cleansers that combine with the lemongrass scent to give an aromatic, conditioning shower gel that cleans the skin without leaving it drained or dry. 
The anti-microbial potential of lemongrass adds extra freshness which is enhanced by the tightening action of white willow bark and withch hazel.

What I Say
This does seem to be a great shower gel! The scent is beautiful, it definitely left me feeling refreshed after my shower. I have noticed that some other shower gels have left my skin feeling dry, but this product was very gentle and soothing on my skin. A thumbs up from me!

Tea Tree + Witch Hazel Handwash


What They Say
This product was designed to be easy on the environment, soft on your hands and tough on dirt! It contains anti-microbial citrus, yarrow and chamomile to help fight lingering germs. White willow and witch hazel invigorate the skin, and natural moisturisers help to replenish, leaving your hands soft, smooth and better protected. 

What I Say
I really enjoyed this product! It felt soft and moisturising on my skin and created a lovely smelling foam, my hands certainly felt like they were given a thorough deep cleanse! This handwash does smell very strongly of tea tree, which may not be for everyone, but I personally loved it. A great luxury purchase!

Mango Body Butter


What They Say
Enriching and conditioning - made with organic mango and cocoa butters, with the anti-aging influence of retinol, antioxidant action from green tea, mango and vitamin E, and anti-microbial potential. It also has the rejuvenating action of white willow, calming aloe vera and comfrey - all selected to smooth and improve your skin.

What I Say
I absolutely loved this product! The scent is so nice and refreshing and really reminds me of summer. It feels lovely on the skin and sinks in straight away leaving my skin feeling soft and supple. 

Vanilla + Coconut Body Butter


What They Say
This contains antioxidant vanillin - naturally occuring from vanilla pods - which has shown anti-microbial potential. It contains astringents to revitalise and offers the calming effects of aloe vera and hibiscus. 

What I Say
This is by far my favourite product! The coconut scent is amazing, a true summer scent. It's thick and creamy and leaves my skin feeling amazing. Thankfully, it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy like some body butters have in the past. I would definitely recommend this!

These products are 200ml full size and are priced between £12-£15.
