Technic Mega Blush Review

Hello guy's today i'm going to review the Technic Mega Blush Quad! I purchased this from Boyes for about £2.99! Which is very affordable for 4 different shades, this particular quad consists of pink and coral shades and they all have a shimmer finish which i'm a huge fan off!  

I'm not the biggest fan of the packaging as it is very bulky, I can't fit it in my make-up bag to go out with. Never the less I can look past that because I think the quality is great for the price, when you go for lower budget blushers you tend to get a chalky feel but with this one you don't! 

Here are some swatches this one has been taken in natural daylight, the first shade is almost like a highlight it's a very icy pink the first two are very delicate an can be used for every day looks. The last two have more of a coral hues and is probably more suited to darker skin tones but could definitely be pulled off if you have a light hand.  

This is a picture taken with a flash, as you can see very highly pigmented and great value for money!

Handy Gurugu Hand Cream

Hello guy's today post is a review on the Handy Gurugu Hand Cream, Well it speaks for it's self really this is a hand cream designed in response to Lush customers wanting a more heavier hand cream to help hard worked hands.

When i'm working I do a lot of cleaning, it involves me being in and out of water so I have seen a change in my hands they're more dry than usual and I also suffer sometimes suffer with eczema in between my fingers. So I popped to my local Lush store and purchased this for £7.95 to me this is a very reasonable price for 100g! 

I'm currently half way through this tub and I bought it a few months ago so i'm impressed, I wanted to test this product for a while so I could give you a more accurate review. Firstly I'd like to say i'm not the biggest fan off the smell but as it's all natural ingredients and safe synthetics I can't really complain. The formula is a very butter-rich its very indulgent and thick as it has a blend of nut butters including shea, almond, peanut and cashew alongside rose water and chamomile blue to reduce redness and act as a antiseptic! Click Here for more information on ingredients. 

I would give this product the full 4* It has helped me greatly and my hands as silky soft and my eczema is held at bay. I use the products before bed and soon as I wake up, this helps keep my hands hydrated and soft through out the day. I would 100% repurchase and recommend to people who suffer with dry hands.

OOTD Festival / AHS Coven Vibes

Hey guy's today's post is a festival/gig vibe OOTD! As some of these items where purchased from thrift shops i'll point you into a similar direction if your interested in creating your own festival attire. My wardrobe mostly only consists of black clothing so you can add colour if you wish!

This look isn't just for festivals, you can wear it anywhere. if you are off to a festival you should wear appropriate clothing or at least be prepared for the worst! This look I have created is simple and suitable for almost all body shapes.

The first item is a ribbed turtle neck body-con which I purchased from a local store called sparkles! I know for a fact these items are very in right now as I have seen them is New Look and Topshop recently. But as the bargain hunter queen I found this dress for a fraction of the price for just £7! if you don't have a sparkles store in your area you can just search anywhere for "ribbed turtle neck body-con"

My favorite thing about this dress is it's incredibly comfy and it hugs your body, it gives the illusion of more height with the vertical lines! If you don't like pushing boundaries with bold colours this is a perfect staple item you can dress it up or down! i'm obsessed with black so bought that colour along with a grey one! But you can get this dresses in multiple colours!

The second item is a long line kimono! the craze was strong last year and is still leaking through and has continued to be loved in 2015! I have noticed this year the long line items of clothing are usually monochrome or pastel colour! Never the less it's down to preference i really love this heavily patterned floral design! Although it's not bright in colour it adds a little bit more dimension!

My third is a beautiful floppy hat these are so easy to get hold of! You can purchase these almost anywhere for about £10!

Space Girl Bath Bomb!

Hello people today's post is a quick review on the Space Girl Bath Bomb from Lush!

I have been meaning to try this for a long time, I was super excited as i'm a Lush-a-holic I couldn't resist for only £2.35!

This bath bomb is very sweet smelling kinda fruity it reminds me of Pez sweets, which I love! It has popping candy inside which makes it a little more special as it whizzes around your tub! The bath bomb is shaped like a space ship which is pretty cute, it's pastel blue in colour with a hint of red making a beautiful purple colour! Personally I think this bath bomb is more for the sparkles and colour rather than helping making your skin feel good, although it does have grapefruit oil inside which helps with toning the skin!

If you have any questions or want me to try out any other products please don't hesitate to ask!

Hull Fashion Week Finale

I'm Hull born and bred and i'm proud of it too! We're now the City of Culture for 2017 and new exciting things are coming over the horizon! We already have Freedom Fest, Trinity Fest, Humberstreet Sesh and Hull Bid Fashion Week! Hulls Fashion Week consisted of make-overs, discounts and gave Hull's independent stores a chance to showcase their goods!

I was incredibly excited to be a part of this event as I have never being involved with Hulls Fashion Week before! I have previously studied Fashion and it's something I have always being into but never really been involved in! I had little to no clue with what was going on so I was so stoked to find out what was in store. If you missed out hopefully this post will capture the atmosphere of the day! (this is a very photo heavy post)

Personally for me Sportswear is a strap top and some leggings something you don't mind getting dirty, I got proved wrong these outfits were fantastic and I wouldn't wear them myself but these girls really pulled it off.

Boxing Masterclass with Tommy Coyle!

Now for the Festival Wear Catwalk this is the one I was most excited for because the festivals season is coming so I was looking for some inspo! Even if your not going to any festivals this year you can still rock the boho/hippy look!

Upcycling allows you to make you a new cute skirts/shorts with old jeans! If your not confident enough do it yourself shops like Poorboy and Chinese Laundry will do it for you for a great price! alternatively you can buy unique vintage pieces they have already upcyled in store!

Sweet Tooth Body and Shower

Hello guys, today's post is going to be about all the sweet smelling stuff I have purchased in 2015!

I'm a absolute sweet tooth if it smells sweet I will love it instantly. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but if it's yours you've come to the right place!

The Body Shop Deluxe Edition Body Butter 50ml

I received this as a gift at Christmas time but I have repurchased because I was in love!

It has a very subtle chocolate aroma which is wonderful! but what I love most about this product is how moisturizing it is! I use this on my knees and elbows after my baths and any other body parts that need a bit of tlc.

The Body Shop Chocomania Shower Cream 60ml

This little bundle of joy is heavenly! I do believe you can purchase these in larger sizes which i'll have to do once It has run out. This shower cream has a very strong chocolate scent which is super yummy! I just wish the scent stayed for a little longer!

The Body Shop Lip Butter 10ml

If you haven't read my blog I suffer with incredibly dry skin everywhere, especially on and around my mouth! I use lip balms and stuff religiously, I thought maybe this would be good to invest in! I adore the chocolate scent but this balm doesn't particularly help with my lips as they're extremely dry! if you have normal lips that aren't as dry as mine this would probably fab! it does moisturize your lips for a short time and it would be nice to just pop in your bag. 

The Body Shop Chocomania Soap 100g

This a average bar of soap that smells like chocolate that's good enough for me.

Lush Snow Fairy Limited Edition Shower Gel 100g

Sorry to break it to you but this is my hands down favorite and unfortunately you won't be able to get your hands on it. But it's still worth noting as it will be back in the Lush store towards Christmas time so it's not the end of the world. This little beauty has tiny little blue sparkles through out the candy pink shower gel! and that's not even the best bit it smells like a candy store with marshmallows and sweets and Christmas all into one! it's a smell I'd never be able to describe and give it enough justice. 

But I have some good news you can smell it for yourself Lush have a soap called Rock Star and it's the same fragrance along with Fluffy Egg Bath Bomb that's here just for Easter time only. Seriously if your a sweet tooth this will rock your world.

I Love Choco Mocha Lala 250ml

Ahhhh It's annoying because I have seen I love around everywhere, I literally ignored it as it's just so incredibly cheap I just assumed It would be awful. Boy I was wrong 89p from Home Bargains seriously grab some! It smells so rich and creamy (because of the shea butter) I just want to eat it (please don't try this at home) but yeah it smells like hot chocolate it is best used as a shower cream it's also soap and paraben free!

w7 In The Mood Natural Nudes Eye Colour Palette

Hey guy's today's post is going to be a review of the w7 In The Mood Natural Nudes Eye Colour Palette. I picked this up a few weeks ago for £2.99 from boyes, I desperately wanted a small pallet I could just pop into my bag! I was excited to see this little baby in store, as w7 is well known for making dupes of Urban Decays Naked pallets, I had high expectations of this pallet. It contains 6 shades 5 matte and 1 shimmer!

I must say the picture on the back isn't really accurate, I had to have a cheeky open before I purchased. 

The shimmer shade is the first shade called "Shrimp" 

Unfortunately my camera on my phone isn't the best so it was hard to pick up the light shades!

as you can see "shrimp" is a very delicate shimmer rather that's fabulous to highlight your brow bone. Shades "Oops" and " Venice" are very creamy colors that are perfect for a base. "Wink" is a nice light brown shade that would be a perfect transition shade and great to create dimension to your eye! "Katie" is a beautiful chocolate colour very deep and pigmented! Finally shade "Cargo" the darkest shade in the pallet which is a very pigmented black!

All of these shades have great staying power, it didn't crease after 6 hours of wear.

Such a nice variation of shades and you can create very natural "I woke up like this" look or a very dramatic smokey eye and in between. If you'd like to me to show you some different looks with this pallet please let me know!
