My CelebBoutique Prize!

Hello Lovelies!

A few weeks ago you'll hopefully remember the blog post I did featuring the amazing CelebBoutique, if you missed my post (where have you been?!) catch up on it by clicking right here

Anyway much to my surprise, being Friday the 13th & all that, I was checking my emails....what's this I see an email from the lovely Kim at CB, I open it...It only stated that I had won!

Not believing my luck I shrieked in excitement, it went on to state that I could pick ANY dress I like as my prize, I mean wow!!

In such a happy mood I then dedicated my entire Friday evening to the most important decision I'd made in a long time....which dress do I choose?!

As you'll see in my original blog post I had my eye on this Lucy Dress from the day I knew who CelebBoutique were!

Well I can honestly say from the moment I opened my package I was so impressed with my CB prize.

Opening the lid to my little black box, I could hardly contain my excitement, but I manged to just while I captured a quick snap....

The luxurious feel opening my dress was amazing, I can honestly say I have never been so impressed with an item of clothing.

And here it is...my Lucy Dress!

These bandage dresses are like instant lipo, I'm a regular sized girl and I was worried that I couldn't wear anything from CB, but I couldn't be more wrong.

Seriously these dresses make you feel like a million dollars!

The Lucy Dress retails at just £119 and it's worth every penny!

What do you think of my dress?

I can't rate the lovely people at CB highly enough, excellent customer service & amazing giveaways on their website

Everyday Minerals

Good evening my beauties!

I have been reviewing some very exciting make up that's good for your skin, you may not be familiar with the brand as it has not been launched here long, but it's huge in the USA!

Everyday Minerals founder Carina’s goal is to empower every woman’s inner beauty to shine by focusing on what women love most about makeup: effortless application, long lasting qualities, versatile shades, and most importantly, fun! With Everyday Minerals, women all around the world can access premium quality mineral makeup at an extremely affordable price.

Everyday Minerals, a gorgeous range of 100% natural, organic, paraben free, and suitable for vegans, what's not to love?!

The UK's main stockist of the Everyday Mineral collection is Cocktail Cosmetics, they don't only stock this fab brand but also many others you'll no doubt be familiar with and love.

I received several goodies to test out for you and the cosmetics are stunning.

The first is this Brow Defining Kit, priced at just £9.95 it contains everything you need to create perfectly defined brows & to frame your eyes, the kit comes complete with an angled brush which means application is so simple...

In the brow defining kit you get:

Mrs Coffee Eyeliner/Brow - a delicious mocha shade that's perfect to give your eyes added definition.

Dark Brown Eyeliner/Brow- A mahogany shade ideal for black or brown brows.

Rare Silk Eyeshadow- Roller ball which is a perfect highlighter to highlight your brow bone.

Angled Brow Brush.

I also received two mineral eyeshadow colours & a stunning coral blush..I swatched them on my hand for you to see...

Matte About You Eyeshadow, Knight Of Ribbons Eyeshadow & All Smiles Blusher.

You only need the tiniest amount of these products to achieve results, as someone who used to use the bare minerals make up, this compares really well, and it's so reasonably priced.

Eyeshadow £5.95 various shades & Blusher £4.50

I used the products to create this look, it looks really natural and did take a bit of getting used to,

Everyday Minerals do not clog your pores & they work with your skin to create a gorgeous effect whilst still looking natural.

I swept the shadows across my lids and although its really hard to capture the shimmering tones on a still I promise you these cosmetics are gorgeous!

I used the swirl, tap & buff technique to apply the minerals.

Check out the full range at Cocktail Cosmetics prices are so affordable & delivery is really quick too.

Next on my list to try is the Everyday Minerals Foundation, how lovely the other products in the range that I've tried make me want to use some more, I love wearing less make up at this time of the year so it would be perfect to test when we should be revealing our natural beauty, whilst still hiding the flaws of course ;)

Have you used any of the Everyday Minerals Products?

Ardell Double Up Lashes

A few weeks ago you may remember my post featuring Ardell Lashes

Well the amazing lash experts at Ardell have just brought out these babies....Double Up Lashes.

Twice the thickness, extra dramatic & full yet still light and comfortable to wear.

Both of these retail at £8.99 and you can buy them on line at Boots.com

Fusing 2 pairs of lashes together to create an amazing look, I LOVE these lashes so much.

I was kindly sent 2 pairs to review* and both give the most eye popping look.

The first pair are these 205 style lashes...

I think you'll agree these really make your eyes 'pop' yet they still look so natural.

My top tip for false lashes is to always apply a line of black eyeliner along your lash line, it really breaks up the band of the false lashes and makes them blend in really well.

The 2nd pair I tested are the 204 style lashes...

So pretty, girly and fluttery, these are the cutest lashes for a summer party, BBQ or just to add a little bit of volume to your eyes without looking too made up.
As with all the Ardell Lashes these are such good quality, and will last ages!

Have you ever tried Ardell's Lashes? If so what did you think?

Their website has some fantastic application video's and also a lash selector where you can try the lashes on and see which styles suit your eye shape.
