Beauty Kitchen || Lip Balm Collection (*) ...

I got in contact with The Beauty Kitchen via The Bloggers Hub and they kindly sent me this Lip Balm Collection (*) to review on my blog.

'Freshly made in the UK with no parabens, no sulphates, no synthetic fragrance, no this, no that, no the other...'

I am one of those people who needs lip balm all of the time, there is always one in my handbag, near my desk or next to my bed. I love the fact these are made in the UK with natural ingredients.

This lip balm collection sells for £10 and they each come in a small metal tin; which I think is the perfect container as it is solid and you can't loose the lid. There are 3 scents in this set so I'm sure you can find one you love.

Firstly there's Refresh Me (blue) which is a crisp minty lip balm and isn't overpowering.

There's Love Me (red) which is a cinnamon lip balm, really unique and to me smells like Christmas.

And lastly there is Inspire me (yellow) which is a fresh citrus based balm, usually not one of my favourite scents but I do like this one, I will be giving this one to my boyfriend as he loves anything citrusy.

All in all a some amazing lip balms which moisturise your lips, don't feel greasy and have some lovely scents. I think these would make a great present for someone and also great to keep in your handbag.

Go check out the Beauty Kitchen as they have lots of other great products and do workshops where you can create your own beauty products.

Makeup Revolution || Lip Lava Swatches & Review...

As soon as I saw these appearing on more and more blogs I knew I had to try them and I have nothing like these in my make up collection so was super excited! 

These are Lip Lava's by a sub-brand in Makeup Revolution called I Heart Makeup.

You can either buy these liquid lipstick individually for £2.99 or as a set for £11.96.

"Lip Lava is a super intense liquid lipstick formula with nourishing vitamin E"

I definitely think they live up to everything that they claim. They come in squeezy tubes, are very easy to apply, really comfortable to wear and feel very moisturising. 

The sponge tip applicators make it effortless to create the perfect lip shape with clean lines and even super pigmented coverage.

These liquid lipsticks come in five very different shades; Forgiven - a gorgeous brown nude, Tremor - a cute baby pink, Shockwave - an amazingly bright fuchsia purple, Unleash - a super bright coral orange and finally Firestorm - a beautiful blue toned red.

I love all of the shades in this set, some of which are obviously more wearable than others. My favourites are Forgiven, Tremor and Firestorm. 

Here are lip swatches of all the shades -

Don't you think all the colours are just amazing!? 

Definitely something you need in your make up collection and when you get all 5 for under £12 you can't go wrong.

Thank you for stopping by!

Christmas Sales Haul...

As you all will know, there are many Christmas Sales going on, so I thought I would share what I have bought.

The first place I wanted to go was Boots, as I saw they had some fun things in their Christmas section and it was all up to half price. 

I really like sweet scented perfumes so naturally I thought - 

"Hell yess, I want to smell like sweets!" 

- and inevitably went for the sweetest perfumes/body sprays they had. 

They came as sets; the Hello Kitty Body Sprays and the Jelly Belly roll on perfumes were around £4-4.50 each after the half price deal. 

I found that the Hello Kitty Body Sprays don't last long but they do smell good and I cannot complain as they were cheap plus you get a pretty decent amount in each bottle.

These Jelly Belly roll on perfumes are much stronger in scent and the fact they are compact means they easily fit in your handbag for perfume touch ups throughout the day. I really like the berry ones (Blueberry, Strawberry Jam & Raspberry) and the Vanilla one. The ones I'm not keen on are Chocolate Pudding and Cappuccino. 

The next shop I 'accidentally' fell in and bought a few items in their 50% off sale was Lush. And who can't resist going in and getting your nostrils filled with every sweet smell imaginable. 

 I bought 2 small shower gels, one called Rose Jam which I'm sure you can imagine smells like the name, super sweet jam. 

The next was Hot Toddy which is very Christmas based and smells like a spiced, mulled sweet wine.

The last product I vaguely remember reading or seeing it somewhere but have forgotten if it was a blog or on YouTube - The Santa Baby lip tint - This is definitely more than a tint, you get pretty full on bright red lips and it smells like a cola bottle sweet.

Here's a swatch on my lips, excuse how messy it is but I did it in pretty bad lighting. Just to show how amazingly pigmented it is. The one minor drawback is that it does stain your finger but I don't mind about that. It is matte and is very long wearing, it only came off a bit on the inside part of my lips whilst eating.

The last shop I bought a few items in was Accessorize. I couldn't resist buying a few pairs of cute socks at 50% off, dropping them down to around £1.75 a pair. I also got a pair of silver studs and some silver hoops. I didn't take pictures as I'm sure you know what they look like. Real silver earrings for around £4 in the sale.

I do hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did roaming around the sales.

What do you think of my findings and have you bought anything in the sales yet?
