Viola Vitality Spa- Products!

Hey Dolls,

This week’s post is very exciting! My lovely friend Katie has launched her new business and I can’t wait to let you know about her fantastic products!

Katie, pictured above, said the name came from her favourite flower and Shakespeare! She will also soon be offering spiritual massage treatments such as crystal healing and palm reading!

Viola Vitality Spa candles and wax melts are all hand made to order with soy wax! Katie said the soy wax is better for scent, has the longest burning time and is better for the environment!

I was so excited when I received the box with my beautiful candle inside! Not only is the packaging super cute it smells amazing and with every order you get a extra little gift which at the moment is an Easter egg wax melt, but usually a rose wax melt which is an added bonus!

The candle comes in the most adorable jar with a ribbon and jewel, which are birth stones! Viola Vitality have created 12 scents, one for every month making them perfect pressies!

My candle is the January one which has the scent of fresh linen my absolute favourite candle scent! The other scents range from fresh to sweet and spicy. Her wax melts are not only stunning, I mean come on those roses are soooo pretty, they smell amazing too!

My 10 Holy Grail Beauty Products!

Hey Dolls,

Today’s post is all about my beauty favourites and must haves!

I’m going to start with the base and work up! So up first is the Too Face Hangover Primer! This stuff is incredible!! Not only does it smell amazing, it creates the perfect base for my foundation and has fantastic staying power!

The next product is one I haven’t heard many people talk about and I think is very underrated!  I’m talking about Nars Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. OK this is like glue! SOO much better than the Urban Decay eye shadow primer, works great with eyeshadow straight on top and doesn’t need setting, or under concealer on your eyelids. This is the first shadow primer I’ve used that never leaves me with creased eyes!! Highly recommend!!!

Now to foundation and concealer! First up is an expensive one but its soooo worth it! Chanel’s Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation. This is the first full coverage foundation I’ve found that feels light and doesn’t look cakey! It’s my go to when I have a tan and I absolutely love it! My next holy grail is one that most beauty bloggers/vloggers rave about and I’m going to join them! Nars Creamy concealer! I have it in two shades and am on my third tube of vanilla! This is the only concealer that properly covers my dark circles and doesn’t crease!

Onto powder products now and I have two! First up is another Nars product (sorry they just slay the makeup game) and its their bronzer in the shade ‘Laguna’. OMG! Best bronzer I’ve ever used, I have purchased multiple times! Not orange and blends beautifully! I totally joined the hype with this next one! Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in ‘Champagne Pop’. This highlighter is INSANE! Super pigmented, amazing quality just amazing!!

Moving onto lashes and brows. I could not do a holy grail list and not include the queen of brown products Anastasia Beverly Hills! Her brow products are THE BEST! I have the Brow Definer, Brow Wiz, Dipbrow Pomade and clear Brow Gel! I even got my mum in on the hype and now she loves the Brow Wiz! I don’t think I will use any other brow product brand for a long time!!!

Lash time now! First up is mascara and I’ve chosen Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lash Mascara, it does not disappoint! It lives up to it’s promises and lengthens, volumises, curls and adds drama without leaving my lashes clumpy! AMAZING!! I’m an Essex girl at heart so of course there had to be some falsies in this list and the winners are Ardell Demi Wispies! I adore these lashes, I keep at least 5 sets of them in my draw! They are super easy to apply, blend nicely with my natural lashes and look great with any eye look!

I’m not sure if this counts as a beauty product or not but its going on the list! My signature fragrance, I couldn’t even tell you how many bottles of this I’ve bought! This perfume is my go to, Chloe original scent! OMG, best smelling perfume ever (in m opinion), it lasts all day and I loveeee it!!

Uni Makeup Brush Collection!

Hey Dolls,

This week is all about brushes!

As a makeup lover moving to uni was hard because not only did I have to cut down my collection of products I also needed a set of brushes for uni so I didn’t have to take brushes with me every time I went home!

I needed something affordable with a good selection of face and eye brushes, so I decided to go with Morphe.

After ages trying to decide what to buy I went for thea 15 piece set that is no longer available but the closest I could fin was the 15 piece vegan pro set (RRP £50 available at cult beauty.co.uk) and also got myself a Morphe B86 Kabuki brush to use with my cream bronzer.

In my set I have-

Face- S13, S15, S3 and S64

Eyes- S21, S30, S4, S25, S12, S28, S20, S8, S26, S11 and S27

I absolutely love every single one of these brushes and think they are great value for money!

I also have a couple of extra brushes which are the Real Techniques Concealer Brush and Bold Metals 301 contour brush, as well as 2 brushes from Spectrum which I got at the Clothes Show- the Luxe Powder Brush (A00) which I looveeee for my bronzer and then the unicorn amazing fan brush (Get Lit C00) which is the most bomb brush for highlight I have every used! Spectrum Brushes are amazing and I would definitely buy more!

Nicole Guerriero x ABH Glow Kit Review!

Hey Dolls,

OMG this palette is incredible!! After seeing the swatches and reviews from other bloggers and YouTubers I knew I needed to get this!

To begin with the packaging is gorgeous! Pale pink with silver sparkle = win!

FullSizeRender 2

The shades in this palette are stunning, pink and gold tones with one white.

Let’s talk about the colours: Kitty Kat- a pink with silver shimmer, Forever Young-muted pink/champagne, Day Dream- Peach with a gold undertone, Forever Lit-pearly white, Glo Getter- Rose gold with champagne and 143- bronze with gold shimmer.

The highlights are super pigmented and really creamy making them look amazing on you cheek bones, they also looked lovely when you mix different shades together.

All these shades are stunning and look amazing on my skin tone, however if you are very pale this palette probably isn’t for you are the shades are quite warm.

I ordered my palette from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Uk website and it came in 3 working days even though estimated delivery was 7-10 so I am very impressed.

I would definitely recommend this palette and think it will become my go to for my highlight!

Morphe 35O Palette!

Hey Dolls,

This weeks post is about cult beauty product the Morphe 350 Palette.

This Palette is full of beautiful warm toned shimmers and mattes creating the perfect essential, every occasion palette.

The price of this palette is amazing for the quality and pigmentation of the eyeshadows you receive. £23.50 on cultbeauty.co.uk which still have a waiting list for this must have palette!

inside-morphe

I decided to purchase the palette due to the YouTube and blogging hype that surrounded it and I must say I have not been disappointed!

The pigmentation of the shimmers is insane and much better than a lot of the higher end eyeshadow palettes I own, especially the UD Naked Palettes (I love them too!)

The 35O is mostly orange based shades which a good selection of highlight shades and a lovely selection of browns.

I have swatched all 35 shades for you so you can see for yourself how stunning they are and although I only have this Morphe Palette I would definitely recommended you trying one that suits your eye colour and is full of shades you will wear.

Here are all the shadows (top left is top row, top right 2nd, bottom left 3rd, middle 4th, bottom right 5th)

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
