Magnitone London - Blend it up


Hello Everyone,

I hope your week is going well so far.
Once again the week is flying past, i think the week's all roll in to one after a while.

I am such a huge lover of anything make up related & any make up tools which can make my life easier.

I have seen several of Magnitone's products & wanted to give them a try so I was happy when I was given the chance to try their Blend Up vibra-sonic make up blending brush.

Magnitone London make product's that help to naturally condition. They believe every part of you should look & feel bursting with life. They create skin care products from cleanser brushes to pedicure tools. 

Blend Up helps to flawlessly blend make up whilst stimulating the skin for a more natural look & healthier finish to your make up.The Blend up glides over the skin with over 200 vibra-sonic movements per second to give you that airbrushed, soft natural look. Also without clumping, clogging pores & streaks.

The brush was created under the expert Paul Herrington. Its head has been designed to blend, contour, tint, blush & bronze your make up to airbrush your skin. It also has a biomaster antibacterial protection to help prevent cross contamination & unwanted breakouts.





It can be used with any power & liquid make up, it has a smart travel power lock to help prevent unwanted battery drainage. The USB charger means just 2 hours charge gives you 100 minutes use. Not only that but it has 2 speeds & a cleaning mode which is perfect.

To begin with I was a bit unsure of how I felt about a battery powered make up brush especially to apply foundation with. But after just the first use of the brush I was sold! I could not believe the finish it gave my skin. It made pores less visible & still left my skin feeling soft. Not only that but it left it with a clear appearance & not streaky. It literally does take make up application to another level.

I really cannot wait to try some more of their products & see what amazing results they give!

Miss Gorgeous London Review

Happy Monday Everyone! 

I hope you are all having a fab week?

The weather is amazing at the minute! I cannot believe how lovely it is. But even though it is while I am work the weather is still meant to be good for the weekends which is great because at least then I will get to enjoy it & top up the tan a bit. Mind you it is not like I have a car still at the moment. 
How the hell did I even cope before I learnt to drive?! I really do not know now. I know I just want my car back.

I love finding unique brands when it comes to make up brushes & make up tools. It is nice to have a colourful make up or something which looks good on the eye & lets face it a boring make up brush does not do that.

I come across Miss Gorgeous London who design & create fun, colourful & great beauty products to help women feel beautiful. They sell beauty blenders, make up brushes, make up applicators, sponges. So many different beauty tools to help give you that perfect make up look. 

The designs some of the applicators & sponges come in are not only bright colours but they also have fun designs on them like faces or even funky shapes! I love them! They are so different to your normal standard beauty blender.





So if you want something fun & also useful then definitely check out Miss Gorgeous London!

The item I got to try firstly was the "I am not lipstick".
This is a compact mirror with a lipstick shape eye shadow applicator sponge. It helps to give you such precise application as the sponge helps you to apply or top up your eye shadow look easily. Especially 
while you are on the move like at work or on a night out when you want to reapply your eyeshadow. Not only that but the design is the perfect size to put them in your bag & carry them around with you. They are also hygienic. They can be washed & clean to ensure they are make up & germ free. 

You can also use the applicator to apply like concealer under the eyes, or to cover spots, or smile lines. 

It is such a handy tool to have to carry around with you!
I have been in a toilet reapplying concealer & have people look at what I'm using & seem so surprised especially when I'm using a lipstick shape applicator to apply concealer with it. I have had a few people ask about it & also where it is from too. It is perfect for anyone on the go.





The next thing I want to try is the jelly applicator which you use to apply product like foundation to you face. It makes it easier to apply to your skin & it is also a lot more hygienic as the product simply washes off it doesn't soak into it like sponge like the beauty blender. You can easily wash & wipe it clean & I love that idea because beauty blenders can be a nightmare to get clear.

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.

You can find more at:

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 
*Sooth dry & cracked skin
*Ease any minor skin abrasions & insect bites
*Smooth fly away hairs
*Help to protect & prevent spilt ends
*Calm Nappy rash
*Create a make up base
Thats just to name a few!

Love Me Beauty April's Subscription

Hello Everyone!

Happy Saturday! I am actually writing a post on a saturday?! 
That is unheard of for me. I never normally write on a Saturday because I'm normally off doing other things but as I have a 4day weekend this weekend due to Easter I have more time on my hands & I want to be super organised at my posts. Well that is the aim of the game anyway we shall see how that goes.

A couple of posts ago I told you all about Love me beauty a subscription service I am now part of & absolutely loving at the moment! Because we girls all love to try out new beauty products & what better way to try out new brands than try trial sizes just in case we don't get on well with the product you haven't wasted money on a full size item that you are then stuck with.

Just to recap for you just in case you didn't read my previous post with the break down about Love me beauty subscription.


Love me beauty is a subscription of a different level for both beauty & make up products. It takes 3 easy steps too:

Step 1) You create a profile for yourself. Tell them of your beauty interests & they create the best recommendations for you!

Step 2) Browse through the months different products to choose from. You get to customise your order which is done monthly.

Step 3) All the products are then handpicked & delivered to your front door for you to try & review!


There are 3 different memberships to choose from.

* Rolling monthly membership: £10(per month) + £3.95 p&p(per month)


*3 Month Membership: £9(per month) + £3.95 p&p (per month)
*6 Month Membership: £8(per month) + £3.95 p&p (per month)

Aprils subscription from Love me beauty has to be my most favourite yet! It come packed with amazing products to try & the most exciting part is....It come with new make up brushes to try!

The products come in a gorgeous floral make up bag. I swear Love me beauty have the cutest ideas for make up bags to send the subscription goodies out in. It is so much better than just like a gift box which most other beauty subscriptions come in. I think it such a better touch. Don't you agree? Not only that but the bag is perfect for like a spring theme & can be used again. Which is definitely handy as my beauty product collection is ever growing these days!




So the beauty products in Aprils Love Me beauty subscription are:

Dr Bragi - Intensive treatment mask (Marine Enzyme)
This treatment mask contains no fragrances & no preservatives.
It is designed to help target redness, dehydration, loss of firmness & signs of premature ageing. It is perfect for stressed & fragile skin types. What makes it even better is, it is not just a mask in a pot that you apply to your face it is like the Loreal tissue masks. So it is a sheet mask, with cut outs of the eyes & mouth. So you simply open the packet & apply the mask to cleansed make up free skin. Smoothing it over the face to ensure it is touching the skin. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, then remove it. Then simplywipe away any excess product with a tissue do not wash it off. I absolutely love these masks because i fell like the product really does soak into your skin ensuring it gets the product well. 

Weleda - Evening Primrose Age Revitalising body oil
Weleda products are all natural products & suitable for vegans. Which is why I think it is an ever growing brand & recently it seems more people are turning to vegan & animal cruelty free beauty products. This oil is perfect for giving moisture to dry, mature skin. It is made up of evening primrose, along with Jojoba & wheat germ oil. Apply it to damp skin after having a shower or bath so it 
absorbs into the skin better.

Amie -Morning Dew Matte Finish Moisturiser & Morning Clear Purifying facial wash
Amie is another natural beauty brand which is perfect for sensitive skin. Their products are bursting with natural plant & botanical extracts free from chemicals. The Morning Dew Matte finish moisturiser controls oiliness & shine, plus also hydrates & softens the skin. You simply apply it after cleansing your skin. The Morning clear purifying facial wash helps to moisturise your skin while cleaning it. You apply it to wet skin & massage in. Then wash it away with warm water. It is best to use to in the morning & in the evening.

Living Proof Style Lab - Prime Style Extender Spray 
Unlike the other products this is a hair care product. Which is my first from the Love me beauty subscription. The Prime style extender spray helps to get rid of dirt, oil & keep your hair cleaner for longer. It also helps perfect cuticles so it can be used alone or layered with other styling products. It is suitable for all hair types.

But I have saved the best till last! My most utter favourite items are the make up brushes & sponges from Eco Tools. Now I have heard of Eco tools but never have I tried any of their products before.

Eco Tools was only created in 2007. So it is a pretty new brand. They are 100% cruelty & vegan free. They use recycled materials such as the plastic or aluminium. The packaging they use is 100% tree free paper & the handles of their brushes are renewable bamboo. You cannot get more animal & world friendly than that really can you?! It's incredible.

The tools in the April subscription are:

Eco Tools Contour Perfecting Applicator
The contour perfecting applicator was designed to help sculpt the cheekbones, highlight & perfect your make up with this tool. The firm sponge helps to give a natural looking definition. Use the applicator dry, dab it in cream or powder then contour by tracing the number 3 on both sides of the face. Start at the top of the forehead, then sweep down across the hollow of your cheeks & dust along your jawline. Then use a highlighter product in the accent areas like the tops of your cheekbones & brow bones.

Eco Tools Perfecting Blender Duo
The perfecting blender duo comes with two different size sponges to help create that air brushed look. The large base blender is soft & flexible for the more light build-able coverage, while the mini blender is more firmer for a more precise coverage & is perfect for the more hard to reach areas of the face.

Eco Tools Enhancing Eye Set
The enhancing eye set is made up of 4 brushes. Which are on two handles but both double ended. These brushes are to help blend, smudge, shape & define the eyes. 

*To shade - apply eye shadow all over the lid with the soft tapered bristles.

*To define - Use the angled liner brush to line & enhance the shape of your eyes.

*To blend - Blend the eye shadow to create streaks & harsh lines.

*To smudge - Smudge the eye shadow & liner along the lash line.

Eco Tools Full Powder
The full powder brush is best to be used with pressed powders to help create a matte look. This brush has a large, soft head to help evenly distribute & blend pressed powder to help create an everyday matte look. You simply dab the brush in pressed powder, gently tap off any excess & sweep it over your face in circular movements starting in the middle of the face & moving to the hairline.




So you can see why I am very happy with Aprils goodies! 
They are amazing products to try out! It is the best subscription service to date I have tried I have to say. The quality & range of the products is great & so worth the money! 

Plus use the discount code of: lottiejessica20 & receive a discount on your subscription! 

Have a lovely Easter!
