Long time no blogging!

Hey beautiful people,


Well i've let my blog go for such a long time now, i've neglected it and left it to rot almost. It makes me feel bad as i really did enjoy it. I have had some time away spending it with my family and just being a mum really, but i long to get back into it!


I just lost my inspiration, the lights have turned off, i need some advice on how to bring it all back really, give it a new zest. I love makeup still ( of course ) but i want to venture wider, maybe involving family things projects?


Can you wonderful people help me out? i would really be grateful if you could?!


Yours sincerely a lost blogger


Where to begin?!

Pink Parcel, It's a monthly thing.

Hey Lovelies,


I just want to apologies for the lack of posts been busy with my children as its still Easter holidays here!

Anyway let's get back to it,


Pink Parcel is a monthly subscription box which contains an array of goodies as well the essentials you need for that time of the month, you can choose from tampons and sanitary towels and pick the brand as well, which is a great feature as you won't be sent products that wont be used. I really like Pink Parcel i really do think it is one of the best subscription boxes about, because your getting what you need each month along with some goodies that will most certainly cheer you up and make you feel better during that crap time!

The something for you,


I have heard some people say it is rather pricey for what you get as you can buy  sanitary wear for a few pounds but i think when i go to buy my monthly needs i never would think to buy a bag of goodies for that horrible week to cheer me up , and i'm not sure any of us do. So i think its lovely that the people at pink parcel have taken the time to fill that treat box up for you. If you opt not to find out what is inside the treat box you will have a great little surprise as pink parcel have worked along side many companies which include simple, o.p.i, Elizabeth Arden, divine chocolate, doisy&dam, witch and that's just a few to mention.

Inside my Pink Parcel,
So i won't keep you waiting any longer inside my pink parcel was a selection of tampons ranging from light to heavy, which are indicated by the wrapper colours.






A Doisy and Dam Coconut & lucuma 74% organic dark chocolate bar.
Which is great because chocolate is a must have during your period i think, it always makes me feel better anyway. Sadly i won't be enjoying this chocolate bar though as i do not like coconut.




Kandula Ceylon pink tea,
Which i think fits in well with the pink parcel, it has high levels of antioxidants, vitamin c and natural goodness, which would be great during that week, again for me i won't be trying it as i have not been a tea drinker for 6+ years now but i will pass it on to my friend to see what she thinks of it.







Duck Tissues,
Now i love these i think they are so cute, that cute in fact i don't want to use them! another really useful item inside i end up having a good old cry during my monthly so these are perfect to pop in your bag or pocket.



Lip Glam,
Which i have had before to review and i loved it so i'm always happy to receive product again that i enjoyed using, so i will defiantly be making good use of this also great for multi purpose use.



Binky London eye pencil.
I've seen so many products from Binky but not yet had the joy of using it myself, so i was really happy to get this eye pencil in pink parcel, I don't always wear eye products but when i do i want to know its good quality.



Bella Pierre Cosmetics.
I'm going to be honest I've never heard of bella pierre cosmetics before so a surprise product for me, and wow i love it, its and eye shimmer/shadow in SPO15 Discotheque which is a gold/green colour and it is beautiful.



Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment.
I don't know about you but sometimes during the monthly my hair looses its shine and softness It lacks the healthiness it would normally have. So another practical item included and i love the smell of tea tree.This is a sachet from Paul Mitchell.



So that's it for my pink parcel, i hope it gives you a good look into what you get when joining this great monthly subscription box, if you sign up now your first box will be £5.95 then there after it will cost you £9.99 a month, but you do have the ability to pause your subscription, so if your not going to be there one month just place it on hold! Also available for girls who have just started there periods there is Teen parcel with all the great features just like pink parcel. 

I hope you have enjoyed and thank you for reading guy's

Chuckling Goat, Refresh Magic Cleanser.

Hi Guy's

#MyfamilyClub
http://www.myfamilyclub.co.uk/ 

First thoughts of this magic cleanser i was rather taken in by  the cute little goat on the outer sleeve, its sweet and colorful which catches they eye,i was  in two minds i was intrigued and wary  because of the scent and colour the scent is a strong spearmint kind of overpowering but lovely and fresh the colour is a green spinach kind of colour but your able to see the care and love that has gone in to making this lovely soap. Containing beautiful organic ingredients which is always lovely in a product knowing it is well sourced and no animals where harmed to make this, makes me feel  happy about this product. With the added bonus of  goats milk which is a fantastic for your skin  i was looking forward to trying it out, even on my first unsure judgment.


 



I suffer with dry and some what sensitive skin so finding a product that works with my skin is always great and i love to see the results. After using it my skin did feel soft and smooth and had a nice fresh scent to it, it kind of awoke my skin reviving it which i thought was great because even being 25 my skin does feel worn and tired most days. This soap is great for the whole family which  for me having three children two of which did suffer from eczema when younger is such a good feature. I'd never heard of Chuckling goat before so its lovely to try a new product made by a beautiful family run business and  after some further research into them let me say what an amazing company they have, my overall thoughts on this Magic Cleanser soap is enjoyable to use, don't be deceived  by first site of the product, great fresh spring scent and leave's the skin feeling smooth and revived. I have used this on my children as well and there skin is has had no redness or reactions to it which is fantastic for me as a mum.#WordOfMouthMums

FLO Accessories celebrity compact vanity mirror

Hey Guy's

Flo Accessories is a product line that sells products ranging from fragrance accessories, cosmetic mirrors to makeup bags and organizers, perfect for self purchase to gifting others the product line is endless! Available to purchase at Boots stores as well as online great quality products, so i'll be showing you the led compact vanity mirror. Avalible on there website http://www.flo-accessories.com and retailing at £8.95. 




Matte black and stylish, perfect size for popping in your makeup bag, hand bag or even coat pocket. With magnified mirrors perfect for applying/touching up eye liner, mascara,  with 6 hand led lights fitted in to the bottom mirror this is perfect for taking to a party, club or just a night out, the lights are not to bright and the perfect size so not to over powering, also available in a beautiful hot pink this is the perfect accessorize for any women on the go i like to make sure my makeup it perfect before heading in to the pub or party so this is discreet if you don't want  people to know what your doing. I personally  love it,  i tend to  keep it in my handbag or daughters change bag so when i'm out i know i always have this handy little mirror a zip away.





 Also it has a great feature of a on/off switch on the back so not to wear the batteries out when not using the lights which i thought was handy and a good added bonus. I normally go for the cute little compact mirrors with butterflies of jewels on the front this one is basic looking with just the FLO on the front but i like the matte black feel and look and easy wipe as well. It takes two CR2032 batteries which are the big  round flat  ones, so easy to change when they run out.





 Overall yes it is another compact mirror just like all the rest but it does have that edge to it, its and enjoyable product lightweight nice looking and those 6 handy little lights come in great use. So i would buy this ( to add to my collection ) ok i may not use it all the time but these products are handy to own, like most portable products. Lets face it i have items i have brought with the full intention on using it ALL the time and i may have used it once or twice max and now it just sits in the draw, but i enjoy new products and buying and trying new items, like most women i should think. 

Have you seen FLO accessories? Do you own one or some of there products? I'd love to know what you think on there products.


Thank you for reading and i hope you have enjoyed!

Salcura Spring Skin: Rejuvenating Hand Therapy

Hi Guy's



I have been so excited about reviewing this product, and sharing my results with you. I suffer with the most terrible dry hands not just in winter but in warmer weather to so i was delighted to give this a go! A beautiful 85ml pot filled with a beautiful cream, that smells of spring the scent is not too over powering but leaves your hands feeling fresh and moisturized. Salcura is a well know brand that sells skincare that's help prevent spots, eczema, redness and dull skin. I did review so great products for them before and i still enjoy using them and seeing the great results and healthy skin it gives me. Back to the Rejuvenating hand cream.





A bit of information on the company: Founded in 2002 Salcura is a British medical brand with a background of Bio-medical research and science, There brand heritage is based on them finding life changing and truly remarkable results for there customers. They have a range of products to help with specific dermatological skin needs to general skin concerns. Products for babies and children, teenagers and adults, Hair and body care and even a beautiful range of essential oils.



When i use: I use this after a shower in the morning or night as i find my hands really dry out after, also i use it after washing up because i get terrible dry hands, since using this spring skin cream i have noticed a big change in my hands they don't get sore and crack, and they feel so soft and are lovely to look at which may sound strange but dry crack hands are not something you want to show off. As i mentioned about the scent it is a very refreshing inviting smell, which is far from overpowering, some creams make me want to wash them off because they go to over the top.For me this is a product i would use happily through out spring and summer to keep my soft beautiful hands, Ii love the feeling it gives me but its not just for a few hours unless i use water then i just re-apply but it does keep mine moist and fresh as i said. It is a thicker cream as well like a night cream which holds in more moister so its nice to know that the goodness is being held in for a longer period of time.As well as not harsh chemicals put in to this product which is always a plus side knowing the ingredient is natural kind of makes you feel more welcoming to using it.As well as being a delight to use it gives my hands a nice spring glow, not sure you can see it well in my pictures but close up you are able to.





 As much as i love this product i recently passed it on to my mum so she could get the benefit of this product as well, being older her hands are worn and tired but since using this she has also seen the clear difference in her skin, being softer and feeling "younger" as she put it. So its perfect for younger and older skin types. The packaging is very delightful as well simple but eye catching, i love the metallic green on the lid which provides the name of the product. A large tub and i use a finger dip at a time ( not sure this is a correct term, but makes sense to me )  So for people that do suffer with dry skin i personally think this would be a great product to try it retails at £12.99 so its not a purse busting purchase.


So i hope you have enjoyed my Salcura spring skin review and i would love to know if you guy's have tried this product or a product from there ranges?!

Thanks for reading

Simple micellar cleansing water

Hey Guy's

Sorry for the delay in post's my son has been ill, so mummy duties have been my priority, but he's back in good health so its time for me to get blogging. I have been kindly sent the new micellar cleansing water from Simple. I've not used many cleansing waters before, but i have used Simple's products, such as there face wipes ect and they have always been a pleasure to use. I have always have sensitive skin being allergic to some beauty products and face paints, so its nice to fine skin care that is good to my skin.


To use this product i have some johnsons baby pads, applying a good amount then with closed eyes wipes across the skin until all of the make up product is gone, no need to rinse the face after use.after using this it really leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated.There is no sticky after feel just clean skin. This is NOT a one swipe product and whoosh all make up is gone you need 2-3 swipes to take away all make up but it is highly effective. So it is a lovely easy to use product it is a very kind and sensitive product so good for sufferes of dry and delicate skin, since using this i have seen a difference in my facial skin it now feels so much cleaner and healthier which is such a great thing for me. 
Directions for use are included on the back of the bottle but most will know how to use, always keep eyes closed when wiping off mascara, which it is really good at doing i always find it hard finding a product that fully rids my eyes of mascara but this micellar water does and very easily.This for me is a very enjoyable and easy product, when the end of the day come's there are times where i feel like jumping straight under the covers but with simple cleansing water its such a fast product to use. Even when i do a full cleans i use a cotton pad with this applied and it cleans my skin totally picking up any missed daily dirt.( also good for a refresh in the morning ) I could rave about this product all day long but i don't want to bore or chew your ears off. I really recommend giving Simple Micellar Cleansing water a try and see the easy and affects it has on your skin! 

Have you already tried this product? Lat me know what you think!
It retails at £2.99 in superdrugs which i would pay all day long, because my skin now feels clean and healthy and who does not want that after a day of full make up.



With more then 50 years of skin experts simple know how to protect and look after our skin, creating products for all skin types at great prices. 


Thank you for reading and i hope you have enjoyed.

Sunny Day At The Park!

Hiya Guy's


So Yesterday the sun was shining bright and being the weekend i though we should make the most of this beautiful weather, but with out having to spend lots of money. We all had lunch at home and got ready for a walk to the park, i have two boys aged 4 and 6 and a daughter who is 21 months old so they keep me on my toes. 

The park is close to us only a 10 minuet walk which is good as my 4 year old is not one for walking, we all had so much fun my daughter loved the freedom of exploring the park she run around looking at the passers by walking there dog's the older boys playing football on the field, even the seagulls eating chips that some one had left on the bench. I love seeing her explore the world and seeing her eyes light up when she see's something that attracts her attention, The world must be such a strange and big place to her. My boys made up games  which involved them running around lot's, my eldest son wanted to teach his brother how to use the monkey bars even though the 4 year old was not to keen he gave it a good go! Which made me proud of them both, after some time they decided  played football. It has been a while since we have been able to have fun in the sun the winter has seemed to drag on for too long now so any chance we can to go and have fun we will,  it felt good to feel the sun shining , it made me happy to see them enjoying themselves.

 Family is so important to me which it is to anyone with children and sometimes its hard to entertain them, but we really had a great day, on the walk home we played eye-spy even though it turned in to such a random game with my boys spying things that were not even there! I  wanted to add a little difference into blog not just blog about make up because my life involves much more then just shopping and beauty. So there will be the odd posts on things me and my family get up to, I hope you guys don't mind and enjoy seeing what we do! 

Thank you for reading 

As you can see not many pictures of my boy's not ones for photos!

Why I Love Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Hey Guy's

Sorry I've not posted in a while life has been such a whirl wind lately! This post is a bit behind as i know so many others have already blogged Benefits Roller Lash Mascara, but this post is just sharing my pure love for it! I am a big mascara user and lover, so when i saw ELLE magazine had a free sample of this beautiful little gem i had to go get myself a copy. This Mascara for me gives me everything i could want in a product, full long beautiful lashes, as most of you know i am a big mascara lover and would be lost with out it, i have yet to try benefits "They're Real" mascara but i will hopefully be getting some soon ( awaiting pay day ) i have seen YouTube videos on it and it is so highly rated so i was so happy to get my hands on this little gem! 

Such an iconic brand most people love Benefit, my collection at the moment is small but i love every product that i own! The roller lash for me is such a brilliant product giving my lashes long length and no clumps. I have had so many lovely comments asking about my mascara or if i'm wearing false lashes but no its all down to this beautiful product.I will be adding pictures below so you can see for yourselves what wonders this mascara can do! If you have not yet tried it i really do recommend you do and i'm sure you will love it as much as me. The bronzed writing is elegant and the sample is so cute perfect to fit in my handbag, i can not wait to get my hands on the full size product with the beautiful roller liker lid. It has a lovely vintage look to it which makes it stand out from the rest and makes you want to know what its all about. I have used this mascara every day since getting it and i'm dreading it running out, Have you tried Roller Lash? What do you think, i would love to know you thoughts! So for me this is a little bit of magic in a tube and i really do LOVE Benefit Roller lash mascara. Sorry if i have bored you with this post but i just wanted to share my love.

Caribou makeup brushes ( Blusher Brush )

Hey Guy's


Caribou products are all Eco-Friendly, Animal friendly and Naturally sourced. All hand crafted and they use natural sources such as bamboo to create these beautiful high end brushes, there mission is to create inner beauty and outer beauty in women around the world,and create a community where they can help the earth, environment and people in it! Making it a better place for everyone. Such an inspiring company.

Love is putting the happiness of others before your own, and they strive to put the happiness of there customers and the under privileged and environment above anything. 


I chose to review there beautiful blusher brush, and felt so privileged to be able to do so, reading through there website opens your eyes to everyday sadness, and being able to put something back in to the environment is a honor for anybody. If you have the time to take a read please do http://www.cariboucosmetics.co.uk/  it will open your eyes into things not not everyone thinks about when buying cosmetics.Selling a wide range of brushes and set's which include 12 beautifully made brushes, costing £59.00 rrp £229.00 you get 3 years guarantee, free worldwide delivery and the longest lasting makeup brushes! Ok so i know some of you will be thinking i would not pay that, but i have done a bit of research and some other big brand brushes cost £50.00+ so really while this offer is on its worth taking a look at!  Lets take a look at the brush:
I love the look of this black with white writing and white/black brissels really sets this off as a elegant product. It hold's just the right amount of product while being easy and kind on the skin, it is so soft unlike some brushes i have used before. I like the small brush because i'm not overwhelmed by product, and don't get stupid amounts applied to my cheek,  If i could afford the complete set i would buy it  because i would love to see how the other brushes are and if they are a good and easy to use as this one, but with my three children other needs must at this time but its something i will be looking in to. I have a large collection of cosmetic brushes but i love to compare different brands. I found Caribou on twitter so why not go check them out there as well? but overall this has been lovely to test and it does feel a lot nicer then the blusher brushes i have been using, so i know use this one on a daily basics. I've not had it long so i will in a few months do you guys an update to see if its still in good condition. Of course being cleaned and looked after plays a part. This single brush is £16.00 down from £29.00, I feel like i'm blabbing but i really do like this blusher brush and it does have such a different soft easy feel to it.



Thank you for reading, i hope you have enjoyed, and do go check out
