Beauty Stocking Filler Idea's

Hello Everyone, 

So we can definitely say now that Christmas is nearly here! 

Where the hell has time gone?! I just can't believe how quick Christmas has come round & where this whole year has gone.

I have been looking lately at the best kind of stocking fillers fro Christmas. Stocking fillers are the perfect way of giving a beauty lover a stocking full of lots of little beauty pieces. Who wouldn't love that right?

So I am going to give you some perfect beauty stocking filler ideas!

Missguided - Babe Power Rollerball Perfume

I had never smelt the Missguided fragrance until I got this & I have to say I am in love with the scent! It is a sweet smell just like candy floss. Plus this is the perfect size to carry around in your handbag & top up on the go. It also comes in a gorgeous rose gold casing. 

Missguided - Instant Feels & Vibe Enhancer Body Mist 

Just like the Babe Power scent these two are gorgeous scents. They are subtle yet so lovely. The perfect light fragrance. The packaging also is gorgeous & makes it look colourful & stand out. They are a great scent to spray on once you have finished getting ready to ensure you smell goods.

Sensational - Peel Off Polish

Sensational have just released their first collection of peel off polishes. They are water based colour, high gloss & peel off which makes it super handy! It dries in minutes & doesn't damage nails. It lasts for around 1-2 days so handy when you want to change your nail colour quick.

Sensational - Nailtural Colour Polish

Sensational have brought out this vegan nail polish which is made up of 85% bio sourced ingredients such as potato, wheat & corn. They come in over 20 gorgeous colours! They truly are perfect for any vegan & cruelty free beauty lover.

I hope you have enjoyed the ideas for the stocking filler's!

Unicorn Cosmetics

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you have all had a good weekend?

I've had a quiet on just like my week due to my foot injury. I don't know how people don't work & sit at home all day...that really isn't a bit of me!

I am such a sucker for cosmetic companies that are bring their own uniqueness to it. After all who wants a regular cosmetics company right? So when I came across Unicorn Cosmetics on Instagram I was taken back by the quirky products & the gorgeous packaging! Most importantly they are a small brand who also happen to be local to me. They are a small team who literally do everything themselves. They originally started as Unicorn Lashes but wanting to branch out & bring us unique make up & brushes they expanded the brand. Unicorn Cosmetics was then born, now with a team of 4. They are soon due to release a set of tech make up brushes which are unlike any other brushes. But they will not just be stopping there, rest assured they will be expanding more.

So I had to try some of their pieces for myself!

As you all know I am a huge lover of false lashes. I love the lashes the fuller, the bigger, the better. Who doesn't love them right?

So the lashes I got were:

3D Faux Minx Silk Lashes - Unicorn Flutter*

These are a V shape lash which help to add length, volume & definition. They can be reused up to around 10 times & are even suitable for vegans! The lashes like the name come in a unicorn horn topped packet.

3D Faux Minx Silk Lashes - Flammie Dragon*

These are a more fluffier & flicky style which are my favourite! They help add volume & length especially to the outer corner of the lashes. These can be reused up to 15 times. The packaging of the lashes is unreal! Like its name suggests it comes with a dragon topped packet which is shiny & makes it look even more unreal!

Lilu Mermaid Brush*

Like the name suggests the base of the brush is in the shape of a mermaids tail. It is a tapered foundation & contour brush which helps you easily apply your make up. It is also one of the world's first flexible make up brushes. The packaging again like their other products doesn't fail to disappoint. All their brushes come in their own pouch & as this brush is from the mermaid collection it comes with a mermaid tail charm on it.

I have to say the effort that goes in to the packaging alone I am sold on. It is gorgeous & just stands out of the crowd compared to most other brands. To me if I saw these in the shop they would stand out compared to most other brands simply just because of the packaging is unique & well thought of. 

The lashes are my favourite I have to say & would definitely try more of their styles.

Masque Bar Beauty Masks

Hello All,

I hope you are okay & your week has treated you well?

I have tried Masque Bar face masks before at around Christmas time. I tried a hot cocoa cream mask & the pretty animalz face sheet mask which at christmas time they did as reindeers, polar bears & such animals. So when I tried them then I was impressed so I decided to give a few more products a try from them.

Masque Bar was developed in Korea, they created sheet masques which with serums & ingredients that make your skin soaked with goodness which the sheet is pre cut to contour your face. The sheet is designed with cut out holes to protect your eyes, lips, nostrils. These are a perfect for a quick facial in your own home & a quick skincare fix. They are super easy to use & can leave your skin feeling amazing. I have become such a huge fan of them!

This time I got:

Collagen Peel Modelling Mask

Collagen helps to keep your skin plumped & keeps the elasticity of it. It helps to purify your skin by gently lifting away the impurities & dead skin cells. It also helps to supply nourishment to the skin to give it an instant brightening effect. So collagen is such an important ingredient to have in your skincare ingredients.

This mask comes in a pot where you add water, stir & then apply it, then later peel it off.

So it is so quick & easy to use!

Brightening Sheet Mask

These help to minimise the appearance of dark spots & any pigmentation blemishes & give you a more even complexion. 

The sheet masks ingredients contain Orange extract, Liquorice Root extract & Vitamin C.  

The pack contains 3 masks so it is great for several uses to keep your skin in top condition.

To use them all you do it:

*Remove any make up & cleanse your face

*Open the packet & take out the mask

*Apply the mask on to your face gently smoothing it down to the skin

*Leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes

*Remove the mask & rub in any excess product from the mask

Intense Moisturising Foot Mask

I can suffer with dry balls of my feet & for the summer period there is nothing worse having dry feet on show when wearing flip flops. So it is important to give your feet some TLC every now & then too.

These masks leave your skin feeling smooth, soft & moisturised. They are perfect for anyone who suffers with dry, cracked feet or heels. As they help to improve the skins appearance.

The masks contain:

*Shea Butter

*Apple Extract

*Peppermint

Again just like the face masks these are super easy to use which is the great thing about them because anyone can use them!

To use them all you do is:

*Ensure your feet are clean & wash with warm water

*Open the packet & put the foot masks on 

*Leave the masks on for 20-30 minutes

*Remove the masks & rub in any remaining product 

All of Masque Bar's products are SUPER affordable & are so great for your skin. They are perfect for anyone as there is something for everyone because everyone needs some TLC & pamper every now & then right?

New Top 4 Beauty Products

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all well & having a lovely week! The weather has been pretty goods recently. I love it!
I feel like once again I have become rubbish at posting a blog post often again. My full time job has been manic lately & I guess my life recently has just got in the way you could say!
But I do pinky promise to try & write more often as & when I can because I love sharing new products with you all!

As you all know & may well have guessed, I absolutely love trying new beauty products. 
From tanning products, to make up, to skincare products. I really love nothing more than trying new products that come on the market. Just to see how good they are & whether for me they work.

I recently have 4 new beauty products which I have got to try & I sadly pretty excited by this!

Norvell Amber Sun - Self Tanning Mousse

Norvell are the top USA's leading brand of tan. Who are also a cruelty free company. They provide award winning pro sunless solutions which are perfect for fair skin. So you can get a tan in the comfort of your own home without having to go to a salon or being in the sun. For me a tanning product is a must have. Especially for nights out & during the summer I will admit I do use it to top up my own tan & so I can feel like I can wear shorts & dresses & things without feeling like a pasty milk bottle. So for me fake tan is perfect. But of all the tanning products I will admit I have never tried Norvell before. 




The product is a streak free & easy to use product. As the name states it is a foam type product so they can get a little bit messy but make sure you always wear a proper tanning mitt to avoid any orange hands! That is definitely a no go!

To apply it all you do is:

*Apply to clean exfoliated skin

*Make sure you apply it lightly over dry areas such as elbows, knees & hands. Because the skin is dryer in these areas the tanning solutions do tend to stick to those. So I do sometimes mix a small amount of moisturiser in with the tan just for these areas.

*Leave it at least 8 hours before showering, going out in the rain, or getting any water to the areas. This just ensures the tan is given a decent amount of time to soak into the skin & not then run after getting wet.

Dr PawPaw - Multi Purpose Soothing Balm

Dr PawPaw I have to say has become my new go to for dry patches of skin. Especially for dry lips. The multi purpose soothing balm contains Carica Papaya which is a nutritious fruit which is full of antioxidants, minerals & contains Vitamins B & C. It is also an Anti-inflammatory & helps to aid skin repair & moisture to the skin. The balm also contains Olive oil which contains vitamin E which helps repair damaged skin & also Aloe vera which moisturises the skin. It is free of alcohol & also not tested on animals.

It has so many uses like:
*To help protect & moisturise skin & lips

*Ease any minor skin abrasions & insect bites
