Ellie Bean Print

I was given the opportunity to review a print and i jumped at the chance as its always been one of those things that I've wanted in my bedroom and I've recently just got all new furniture and i have gone with the white and black theme in my bedroom so i thought this print would go perfectly.
If I'm honest i am not a batman fan at all, but regardless i loved the quote so i thought why not...

I got this print from a online shop called Ellie Bean Prints, they sell a wide range of prints available in four different sizes ranging from £10-20 which i think is very reasonable as a lot of places charge a lot more. They also will print them in any chosen colour of your choice, as you can see they offer a very flexible an wide range for a very reasonable price and i would highly recommend them, they are a lovely company and there customer service is great.
After re visiting there website i have my eye on there no whining no complaining print, whoops!

The print is available here...

Beauty UK Lips Matter

 

Hi, i haven't been posting regularly recently because i literally have been swamped in uni work but after January it should dye down a lot more so hopefully ill be able to get back into the swing of things!
To start things off i have a review of these two lovely lip creams called Lips Matter. For those of you who don't know i reviewed lip products from Beauty Uk a few months back and was so impressed and I'm even more impressed with these lip creams.  These lip creams promise a long lasting intense colour and are available in eight different colours and are priced at £3.99 each!
I received No1 Bond, Mrs Bond and No2 Radical Red and i am really impressed as soon as i tried them they were so creamy and soft i would go as far to say i have never ever tried a lip product as soft and creamy as these and for a drug store product priced at £3.99 i was so impressed and i think these are worth every penny. As for the colour pay off these are equally as good, they are so pigmented and so long lasting. These are matt but thats something that i am a huge fan of matt lips are my favourite and these didn't fail to impress i would highly recommend these to anyone.

Mr. Nutcase Mug

I recently got a personalised mug from Mr.Nutcase, for those of you who don't know Mr.Nutcase is a online service that personalises the likes of phone cases, laptop cases and mugs for which the have a range of models as they facilitate a wide range of phone models and brands. Also for each of the brands there are numerous different layouts which you can choose from which is great.

The website is very simple to use so the process of designing a product is quite enjoyable and very simple. You simply select the product in which you would like and then depending on the product for example if its a phone or laptop you have to select the model and brand and for items such as mugs as canvas you select the style and size you would like to purchase. You then  get to choose how your images are layed out for each of the products, for example how many pictures you would like on the mug, for mine i selected six images as i wanted them to be big enough to be able to see each of the images.

The price of this mug was £5.95 which i think is very reasonable for a personalised gift and would be a ideal stocking filler for anyone! Overall I'm very impressed with the service, the fast delivery and the overall quality of the product and i would highly recommend Mr.Nutcase to anyone.

Christmas Haul

Wrap: Debenhams  Ribbon: Paperchase Cards: Card Factory Star: Primark

Penguin: Tk Max Set of 3 decorations: Paper Chase Gingerbread: Hobby Craft Ribbon: Card Factory

I thought i would put together a little haul as i love some of the christmasy bits i have picked up recently. So firstly i picked up these cute penguin cards, anyone else got an obsession with penguins i love, love, love them and they were only £1! The wrapping paper i got for £4 for all of them, i had seen the white company have striped red and white foil paper with star ribbon and i loved it so i decided i would re create this myself, i bought the wrapping paper and then the pompom ribbon and its made me so excited to wrap my present. The big star in the top picture is a light and it looks amazing its perfect for christmas but its amazing for any other time of the year and it look so cute with all the christmas lights up at the moment. 

Every year i get a few new decorations to add to the collection and of course i had to add a penguin to the collection but the set of three decorations are also adorable i also got these in the sale for £4 which i think is a bargain!

Finally these two bows were 99p, i think these will look adorable at the top of a present, if you could tell i have got a bit of a obsession with wrap this year! 

LaLaLab

I recently got the chance to order some Polaroid prints from LaLa Lab, I've always been a huge fan of Polaroid prints and i have my own camera but mine are really small compared too these so i jumped at the chance to review these. 

For those of you that don't know, LaLa Lab are a online printing company that print the likes of photos, posters and canvas's. 

These prints cost 29p each which i think is pretty reasonable for this style of print, i have quite decided what I'm going to do with these prints yet but there so versatile, you could fill a whole wall with these or even just a section in a square shape. Personally my favourite thing about these is being able to add my own caption to the prints because i know if i wrote them id end up hating my handwriting so i love the idea of being able to do this and i love how high quality these prints are although i know one of my prints is quite dark, thats my fault i forgot to edit it before i submitted the order!

Just Cosmetics

I recently got sent over these lovely products from the lovely people at Just Cosmetics. For those of you that don't know Just Cosmetics are a new brand but they aren't available in the Uk as far as i am aware but it is good to keep a eye for these when you are traveling in the EU as from doing my search they are avalible in a lot of places inside the EU.

Anyway i'll get on to reviewing the products i got sent, first i got sent a eye shadow in the silk and satin range, one thing i can definitely say about this product is that it is very highly pigmented which is amazing and it feel so soft on the lid i think this product is a really great product!
Next is the blush, i think this is my favourite product i recieved this is actually my go to blush now, its the perfect pink colour and looks very subtle but gorgeous on the skin, also i love the packaging for this products as it reminds me of mac packaging for some reason.
I also got sent two nail varnishes, now i must admit these two aren't my favourite colours as i do tend to stick to more nude colours on the nails but i gave them a go. Both the nail polishes are different types the yellow shade is a colourazzi type and the pink is a gelicious, i do prefer the pink one out of the two as it does give a overall better look as they do look very gel like!
Next is the intense finish lipstick, i found this lipstick very moistersing and creamy on the lips which is my favoruite type and the colour pay off is actually better than i expected its very pigmentated and leaves a overall lovely look!
Finally i received the mascara, this is the lengthening mascara, i found that this did make my lashes look longer not drastically but it did make them look a little longer which is good and overall looks great on your lashes.

Nars Cosmetics Review

I recently picked up some new items from Nars, i'd been dying to pick these up for some time so i thought i would treat myself. Firstly i picked up the Nars Sheer Glow which i have literally wanted for about 2 years and i just never ever bought it i always sticked to drugstore foundation but i finally went for the plunge. I went and got matched in Harvey Nichols, i was going to order online from somewhere that had 10% off but i didn't know what shade i was i was deciding between two and it turns out i was one of them which was Mount Blanc. Ive only been using the foundation for a week but so far i am loving it at first i thought it was quite heavy which it still is i don't think it's too heavy but if you are looking for a weightless foundation then this isn't it. But yeah i am loving it so far!

I also picked up these two brushes by Nars, the first one is the Mie Kabuki Brush as its new I've been using it for a few different things to see which i prefer but its definitely the best for powders as I've been using my bronzer or blusher but i think I'm going to stick to using it for my blush.

Next i got the Ita Kabuki Brush, I've been using this for contouring as its perfect for creating a contoured look because of the shape of the brush its perfect to sculpt your face and contour your cheeks!

Blan X Teeth Whitening Giveaway

I was very kindly sent two sets of BlanX teeth whitening products, one for me to try and one to giveaway so keep your eyes out there will be a giveaway at the end of this for you all.

For those of you who don't know BlanX is a natural teeth whitener that uses two things: lichen extract and fluoride salts which is made to fight bacteria and enhance brightness. 

Before i get the giveaway i thought id talk about my experience of using BlanX toothpaste, I first used the advanced whitening tooth paste which you can tell makes your teeth whiter not a whole lot whiter but for a general toothpaste i think it works really well and gets rid of any yellow stains you may have. But if you do have a lot of stains there is a separate toothpaste for that to get rid of these stains. Also i have used the two week intensive treatment, this treatment is simply using this toothpaste twice a day for two weeks with the aim to give you whiter teeth which is certainly does do i mean i don't notice the difference each day but from when i started using it i certainly notice a overall whiter look which i am happy with.

Now time for the giveaway, this is a Uk and Ireland only. 

Goodluck!

Degusta Box- September

This is Septembers Degusta box sorry its so late had a loss in the family so i have been very behind with my posts but i hopefully will be back to normal now. 

If anyone doesn't know, Degusta box is a subscription service that send a box with 9-14 products on a monthly basis for a fraction of the price they should be. Each month the products you receive are completely random and you know nothing till it arrives at your door, i find this very exciting!!

This month i got a range of products including the Portlebay popcorn in flavours Sweet&Salty and Cappuccino, Miracle Noodles, TG Green Tea, Mallow& Marsh raspberry flavour marshmallows, Reese peanut butter cups,  more drinks, Maynard's Wine Gums, Bassetts Jelly Babies, Sweet Sally Spiced Tea, Up& Go Breakfast Drink, Compete Energy Drinks, The Good Cider in pear and apple.

My favourite things this month was the sweet and salty popcorn, i personally love sweet and salty popcorn and this one is lovely too and quite a big bag which i definitely won't complain about. I don't drink so i gave the cider to my dad and he loved it he thought it was very fruity and full of flavour, so if your into your flavoured cider i would recommend this. 
Sweets are of my favourite things I eat way too much so the wine gums and jelly babies just added to my weekly intake of sweets. I still am yet to try the green tea because i generally have never tried green tea before and I'm not one for trying new things but i defiantly will, but how cute is the packaging of it?

I will have Octobers Degusta box up very soon so keep a look out!
