The Jewel Shack/Neck Candy

I recently featured a gorgeous statement necklace from The Jewel Shack, if you missed it shame on you, but you can catch up by clicking right here. 

Well I've been sent a couple of other beautiful pieces of neck candy to review, and I have to say they are equally as gorgeous as my first one. 

Say hello to 'The Peach Bellini' & 'Spearmint Fresh'



The Peach Bellini can be yours for just £10 and the Spearmint Fresh just £12, there's even a ring to match the Peach Bellini Necklace. 

I't'd be so hard for me to choose which one I like most as both are so versatile with so much and so many different colours, for me though the Peach Bellini just hots the spot, I'm not overly keen on the gold chain on the Spearmint Fresh but that's all I don't like about it!

Which is your fave?

MAC/Royal Sunset Blusher

You'll be hard pushed to get your hands on this now but I had to let you all know about it so you know it's a must have if you happen to come across it. 

I picked this up in the Cosmetics Company Store in the Swindon Mac Aurther Glen Outlet Village for just £9! 

MAC Royal Sunset is a satin finish powder blush, and the colour is a gorgeous almost neon, nude, pinky, peachy colour, looks great on paler skin tones, but looks luminescent on tanned complexions. 

It has a real matte finish but doesn't dull the cheeks on application at all, it has a very strong yellow undertone, but will highlight and brighten even the dullest of complexions. 

It was launched as part of MAC's All About Orange Collection last year and was one of the best sellers, if you get a chance to try it or own it then you'll see why!  

This is my current go to blush if I am having an indecisive cheek colour day, colour and highlighter in one, brilliant.  I would say the wear time is around 6/7 hours on my combinations kin, but if your oily and you prep with a primer it should hold up just as long on you. 

Are you one of the lucky gals who own this?

MAC/Elegant Accent Mineralise Rich Lipstick

I'm a sucker for MAC and this is my most recent purchase, a beautiful deep pinky rose hue. It's a blue under toned pink so will suit most skin types, and I would have to say I think the Mineralize lippies by MAC are the ones that stay put for longest on me, with a wear time of a good couple of hours. And they feel really nice on the lips too. 

The Mineralize range of lipsticks are different to the regular MAC's because of the 77 Mineral Moist formula, which is non drying, and the larger design bullet allows for perfect application straight from the stick. The magnetic lids also mean the top won't come off in your handbag! 

I had never purchased one of these until last year when I bought the gorgeous 'Lady At Play' and it's been a while since adding another, plus I'm visiting the MAC Brighton boutique again soon so I might have to treat myself, I mean my Muji to some more yummy shades! 

These retail at £20 each and are available on MAC.com right now!

Clarins Opalescence Spring Collection/Cream Blushers

Clarins Spring Opulesence Collection oozes girly prettiness, and these cream to powder blushes are no exception. I recently featured the eye quartet from this collection and so many of you loved it, I've been really excited to have a play with these cream blushes and share them with you. 

I've never used cream blush before and to be honest it's always scared me a little, surprisingly I found this really nice to use, and very easy. 

The effect is very natural and dewy, natural almost. These would be perfect if you suffer from dry skin, and it doesn't sit on the skin like a traditional powder blush. Each blusher is packed with skincare goodness, rose, sunflower and jojoba all protect from dehydration, whilst vitamin e protects from free radicals. They all contain Clarins light optimising complex to add luminosity to the skin. 

The main difference I've found in using these so far is that the application gives such an even result, I often find with powders it's hard to get both cheeks exactly the same, using just your finger tips a quick sweep of the cream formula dotted on the cheeks and then lightly blended out gives an even and luminous effect to the skin. 

The lovely Jenny at Clarins was kind enough to treat me to all four shades for review, brace yourselves these are so yummy I think you'll want them all....

Each encased in the classic golden packaging they are perfect for your make up bag or your dresser and the mirror in each compact makes it really easy for on the go make up too. 

I've been getting a whole days wear from each application, as the creme blush turns to a powder after setting it prevents slip off too so the colours stay put all day. I've not had any problems wearing them on my oily/combination skin, although I do think if your skin is really oily these may not be for you. You can use them alone on the lips for a matte finish effect, or top them off with a gloss for added shine. 

Check on the swatches on my skin, starting with 04 Rosewood at the top, then 03 Grenadine, then 02 Candy, then 01 Peach at the bottom. 

Here is my skin with the shade 02 Candy on, it's a beautiful pink shade, this along with shade 03 Grenadine are my absolute favourites. 

I've also swatched them on my lips so you can see the shades, they are all matte with no gloss added on top: 

Shade 01 Peach

Shade 02 Candy

Shade 03 Grenadine

Shade 04 Rosewood

Treat yourself to one, or all four! They retail at £18 each and you can shop the collection now at the Clarins Online store.

Are you a fan of cream blusher or do you prefer powder?

Abbey By Abbey Clancy Fashion Range For Matalan

I have to be honest I never though Abbey Clancy could pull this out the bag just goes to show you really never should judge a book by it's cover. 

Teaming up with Matalan she's designed a range that's modern, feminine, and affordable. 

I have been inundated with emails and messages asking about the dress I wore on Saturday night while I was out celebrating my year anniversary with the Mr. 

If you love dresses and you want to keep your look classy then I'm pretty sure you'll find something in this range to suit you. 

I have always felt the need to have my boobs on show to feel nice on a night out, but after the weekend I've convinced myself this just inst true, you can still cover up and look classy and feel nice, although getting into a size 10 dress was enough to make me feel a million dollars! 

This high neck dress features a chunky gold zip that runs the whole length of the dress, the flattering ruched material and panel stitching to the waist area all add lovely touches to this dress. 

It's made of a super soft and slightly stretchy material that hugs you, and it's so comfy to wear. The long sleeves make it perfect for the colder months, and of course means you don't need a coat! 

I teamed my outfit with a gold and black clutch bag and some glittery heels. 

Abbey Clancy High Neck Dress £30 Matalan, Gold/Black Leopard Clutch Bag £25 River Island, Glitter T Bar Heels Schuh £50, Ring Trema Large Ring £159 Swarovski. 

To be honest this dress looks far more luxurious and expensive than the £30 it's selling for, and I'm convinced that after the amount of people asking where I got it from it wont be around for much longer, It's on-line right now & I think I'm going to treat myself to the three other colours, this really will be a key piece you'll be able to wear time and time again.

Shop the dress & the rest the range at the Matalan Website

Eye Of Horus Mascara

Eye Of Horus has just landed in the UK, an Australian make up brand that's set to rival some of our premium beauty brands.

I really like what this brand are about, they never test on animals, or use any animal hair in their brushes, all the products are paraben free, and contain as many natural ingredients that they can pack in. 

The range of products are all made based on an ancient Egyptian formula, and ingredients , including the ever popular moringa oil, claimed by the gods for its natural beneficial beautifying properties. 

I've been reviewing the Eye Of Horus Mascara this week* and I have to say I really like it, I am always wary of straying away from my trusted brands. 

I will let you judge the results for yourself.....

Top picture shows my lashes natural, and lower picture shows them with 2 coats of EOH Mascara applied. 

Side view, really nice lifting effect to my very straight lashes! 

The mascara is safe for use on even the most sensitive eyes and is rich in natural oils and waxes, it wont sting, clump, or run. The brush is like a little lash comb and is really easy and nice to hold while applying the product.
It comes beautifully packaged in a gift nag, complete with gold wrapping paper inside, the gold logo and ribbon give it a really luxurious feel, great for a gift too.

The only niggle is that for me it's just not quite volumising enough, but I will be using this for my every day mascara its really nice and long lasting, as well as being clump free.

You can get your very own mascara right here at the Eye Of Horus Cosmetics online shop, for just £17.99, check out the other products they have too, some fab bits.

Vera Wang Pink Princess

I've just come back from holiday, and you know what that means...Duty Free Shopping!

I bought a few bits and I've decided to feature them in separate posts, I have a couple of make up bits to share with you too, so keep an eye out for them soon. 

I picked up this 50ml bottle of Pink Princess for just £25, got to love a barg! 

I LOVE the glittery bottle and the little crown lid is super cute. 

The fragrance is sweet & floral, notes of pink grapefruit, marshmallow, sweet amber & honeysuckle, it's an unusual fragrance, but very girly. 

This is a limited edition so if you see it grab it while you can!
