MUA LUXE Velvet Lip Lacquer - Reckless

I was browsing Superdrug for some pretty things to spend my vouchers on when I spotted these MUA LUXE velvet lip laquers, velvet lips, interesting. I picked up one in the shade Reckless, a deep red.




The packaging for these are great and much more expensive looking, I especially like the frosted tube.

I had no idea what to expect when trying this out as I've never tried a velvet lip product before. The formula is quite thick and highly pigmented, which is great. It is quite sticky so you have to wait for it to dry for a while and then  it becomes a beautiful velvety matte finish. The staying power was really impressive, only a few touch ups needed throughout the day.

I really like this product and will be picking up some more colours next time I'm in Superdug.

For £3 they are definitely worth it!

Have you tried the velvet lip lacquers?

Wax Lyrical Bedtime Stories Candle

I received this gorgeous candle as an early birthday present from my mum. It's a Wax Lyrical candle in the scent Bedtime Stories. Don't you just love the name? The colour is a pretty pastel pink, which goes perfect with my decor and the burn time is approximately 35 hours.



Bedtime Stories smells like talcum powder, much like the Yankee Candle Baby Powder scent. I like to burn this in the evening as it's a nice calming scent. I think this candle is just right, not to overpowering but you can really smell it and it lasts. I also received a Wax Lyrical reed diffuser in Sweet Pea and it's so lovely! I definitely will be buying more from Wax Lyrical from now.

Valentines Day ♥♥

This Valentines day was the best one yet, it was our first one (well second but it's a loooooong story) we went for dinner at TGI Fridays then went for more cocktails at a bar afterwards. It was lovely spending time with Ky, we both really enjoyed it even if we did get blown about a bit, the wind was horrendous!


Ky had a Jacks Southern Belle and I had a Popping Candy Margarita, it was delish!


Ky got me a new Pandora spacer bead and I love it! He chose well. 




Long Island Ice Tea is now my favourite cocktail,  I can imagine that they will be really nice in the summer on a nice hot day.


Selfie Time

What did you do for Valentines?

Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean 3-1 Wash Off Cleanser

Is everyone enjoying the beautiful weather we are currently having here in the UK? No? Me neither. 

But anyway here's something that brightens up my day, the Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean cleanser.



It is a 3-1 product that claims to cleanse, smooth and revitalise your skin.
Apparently it melts away make-up but I use my Loreal micellar water to take my face of first then use this cleanser.

I use this as my daily cleanser. It smells amaaaazing and completely cleans my skin leaving it lovely and soft with a nice fresh glow.  

I love this cleanser a lot and don't see myself leaving it for a while.

It's currently on offer at Boots for £5.33! Bargain!

Ted Baker Nail Wraps

I've always loved the Ted Baker range in Boots, I also love all the high end fashion but my budget is more of a Boots one..




I could hardly contain my excitement when I noticed Boots sold Ted Baker nail wraps! The ones I purchased are black with little yellow birds at the bottom.

I usually use nail wraps on my toes in the summer but I couldn't wait to whack these beauties on so I used them on my fingernails. They are really good quality and took me about 10 minutes, if that, to apply.

Bomb Cosmetics Ugly Duckling Bath Blaster

I purchased my first Bomb Cosmetics bath blaster the other day and I chose Ugly Duckling costing £2.50. How cute is this bath blaster?



It contains cocoa and shea butters, kukui nut oil and pure geranium essential oil. The scent is very fresh and uplifting, not overwhelming and harsh at all. I liked this one because it really felt as though I was giving my skin a good gentle treat. I also just adore the little duck.

Have you tried anything from Bomb Cosmetics?
