Juicy Shakers & Juicy Cocktails

With Lancôme being the leading in a lot of things in the beauty world I was super excited to attend their Juicy Shakers launch! I arrived at the launch at the Lancôme counter in Fenwick, Newcastle. We were greeted with fruity mini cocktails, friendly, informative staff and a lovely selection of colours from the collection. The product is a lipgloss made up of lip oils and pigmented colour which settles when left standing. This is where is gets a little more interesting...

 

The idea of the product is to shake to combine the oils and pigment together to create a gorgeous texture gloss which tastes and smells like a fruit basket!

 

 

 

Lancôme have really outdone themselves with the range of colours and scents. There seems to be something for every skin tone and everyone's unique complexion.

 

 

 

 

How cute are the mini cocktails?! AND they co-ordinated with the juicy feel of the collection too. We also received a little goody bag of skincare products to try out which I cannot wait to get testing and sampling. Before we left we got booked in for a free 15 minute treatment of our choice from their list. The list varied from hand massage, skincare consultation, brow lesson... I chose a specific eye make up lesson.



Shake it like a polaroid pictureeeeee.... I couldn't resist... And now you have that Outkast song stuck in your head, right?

 

 

 During our time at the launch we explored the different colours, the shaking at using the product. I have to say, this sits so well on the lips and leaves them feeling soft and 'juicy.'

 

 

 

 

 

 Adorable names and they are great mixed too!

 

 

 

 

The applicator is a cute little pointed sponge which you can just dab right on to your lips to create a fresh look.  The Juicy Shakers retail at £18.00 and are the perfect size weather you're on the move, going out with your girls or having a day relaxing on holiday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They also ran a competition for the best pout and we had to write a little beauty note to our younger selves... I would tell myself to seek more advice about skin and keeping it clean, fresh and well maintained.

 

 

 

Until next time...

Peaches Boutique & Rose Gold Delights

Recently I won a little competition online for a cute boutique. In fact it is Peaches Boutique. I wasn't expecting to win anything so this was a lovely little surprise when they announced the winners! There was 3 prizes up for grabs and I came 2nd. So as you can see I won this lovely Geneva watch and anyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for accessories so this couldn't be more perfect for me!

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the watch is white with gorgeous rose gold details and a diamante ring detail around the face. The strap is a silicone type material which is a nice contrast to the metal detailing. The white fits my style very well and I love that it is minimal so I can wear it with a tonne of outfits!

 

 

 

Just adore the rose gold sections of this pieces, and rose gold is still a popular trend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would pair this with a rose gold piece I have from Kayleigh Falcus Jewellery. I love the white on white look but this watch would also look lovely with a range of different coloured accessories & outfits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to get your hands on one of these head over to Peaches Boutique over on Facebook. Good news ladies, you can get your hands on one of these for only £13.00! (also available in black)  Click HERE to get yours.

 

Until next time...

Cheekbones & Highlight From Heaven

So in this age of make up and all things beauty, us girls all seem to be in search of a highlighter. I was recommended the Soft & Gentle Mineralize Skin Finish powder highlighter by Mac Cosmetics.

 

Okay so, for a redhead or anyone who is fair.... I really do recommend this shade. It really is soft but has enough highlight glow for you to completely fall in love with it! The shimmery shade really is a delicious sun kissed glimmer and sits perfectly on the skin (also available in 3 other shades for different skin types.). I swear by this now in my everyday make up look. It retails in the UK for £24.00 and I find it to be worth every penny!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So as you can see, this is a shimmery pressed powder highlighter which applies very well to skin. I find nothing more annoying than buying a beautiful looking highlighter then when you apply it, it is very hard to work with and get a result. This however is the opposite. So easy to work with and I just use a simple angled contour brush and apply the part of my cheekbone in a swooping upward motion, to my temples and a little to my jawline to accentuate my features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can tell (by the spam of images in this post), I am also madly in love with the packaging of this. Sleek, simple, black and compact. It's totally fit for purpose, fits in my make up bag if I need it on the move and has a lovely secure snap shut to avoid spillages.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and what's ever more great is this has lasted me forever! Months and I do use it very frequently! What's not to love about this Mac highlighter?! If you're looking to buy, this is available at counters and also online HERE.

 

 

 

Until next time...
