Slatkin & Co In the UK!

Afternoon Bloggers!
Today I am bringing you a post about something that I have posted about quite a bit so I hope this doesn't bore you but when I came across this last night I got super excited. It has been super popular in the US for years and even more lately. It only has to be...

Bath & Body Works Candles
Slatkin 3 Wick Candle 14.5oz Leaves

Some of you may be thinking "Oh God not again!!" BUT for me at least this got me excited. So I know I did a post telling you all about the fact that this website 'Bath and Body Shop' which you can go visit here sells the Slatkin & Co candles which are the popular talk of the beauty world as we are entering Autumn.
Well if you recall my post or fancy a read of it just go here and back then they only had the 4oz. candles for sale for £9.25. Last night, after watching a bunch of Bath and Body Works hauls I got super jealous and wished I lived in the magical land of the USA. Then I remembered about this site and thought I'll just do a little window shopping and discovered that they now sell the 14.5oz. They are £19.99 which does make me double think BUT considering they come from America I think treating myself to 1 won't hurt too much!

Click here to go straight to the page with the candles.

Sorry this is a random post!

Topshop AW11 Makeup Collection: Smoke & Mirrors

So I'm sure most of you have seen this collection either from posts from other bloggers or maybe in store but I thought I would just give my thoughts on it.


So above is the products in their packaging so lets start with that. I love this packaging. Feels very autumn and a tad tribal. I love the golds on the black backgrounds. I like all the Topshop packaging even on their core collection which is available all year round. Onto the actual products...




1- Nails in 'Bourbon' £6
I love this colour. I have a thing from browny/red nail polish's around autumn time, they just scream AUTUMN to me! Hehe. I don't own any Topshop nail polishes but this may be the one to break that.

2- Nails in 'Prim And Proper' £6
This colour doesn't exactly remind me of autumn or winter but who doesn't love a dusky rosey pink colour! Although I do love this I already own a lot of polishes similar so don't think this one will be coming home with me.

3- Eye Palette in 'Secret Liaisons' £12.50
This palette looks like it was made for me! I am a very big neutral girl and hardly stray away from my browns/golds/champagnes so of course I'm going to love this palette. Also this is perfect for going from natural to smokey for a day to night look.


4- Glow Highlighter in 'Polished' £9
This is a cream highlighter with pearl to enhance and highlight. Never tried a cream highlighter and not really tempted to with this. I think I'll stick to my liquid & powder highlighters, sorry Topshop!


5- Bronzer and Blush in 'Burning Embers' £12.50
Er does this product remind anyone of a recent product by a big Makeup brand (MAC Wonder Woman Collection anyone??) But who am I kidding a similar product at a cheaper price YES PLEASE!


6- Lash Extender Mascara in 'Black Velvet' £10
I'm not sure what quality their mascaras are like and at £10 don't know if I would like to pay that to find out I don't like it. Anyone who has tried it already please comment below and tell me how you found it thanks.


7- Lip & Eye Pencil Set in 'Cashmere' & 'Crushed Charcoal' £10
I love the look of these two colours. The eyeliner is a navy blue colour which is a colour I don't own yet and the lip pencil looks like the perfect nude which I've been looking for. Any recommendations??


8- Lips in 'Rumour Has It' £9
This looks like a lovely colour...just not my colour. I'm a pink lipstick kinda gal! But I can see this being a popular nude/beige colour.


9- Lips in 'Pillow Talk' £9
Now this is the shade I am liking. Definitely falls under my pink obsession. Nothing else I can say besides...I WANT IT! :)


Next topic: The Promo Images.


Love these images. Very natural look to them which is basically what I live by for work and my days off. Simple. Elegant. Perfect!


Hope you enjoyed this...





P.S What do you think of my new signature?? Comment!!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One B.B. Blemish Balm Cream Review...

Whoa try saying that title 3x fast!
So this post is exactly what the title says it is... a review of the 'Garnier Miracle BB Cream' for short as I don't want to be typing out it's full title every time I mention it!

As soon as I heard about this cream and what it was stated to do I knew I needed to go out and buy it. I wasn't 100% sure that it was going to do everything or even work for my skin but alas it is now my holy grail product!!


So what is it??

BB stands for Blemish Balm and they are all the rage in Asia. They claim to even out skin tone, blur imperfections. Some even have skin whitening. The Garnier version claims to do the following...

  • Immediate Perfected Skin
  • Even Skin Tone
  • Boosted Glow
  • Blurs Imperfections
  • Smooths Fine Lines
  • SPF 15
  • 24hr Hydration


I can confirm (for me at least) that this product is a miracle! I have been looking for something that would achieve what this product has for a long time as I suffer from redness and very uneven skin tone.
It is only available in 2 shades light & medium. I opted for Light which is the perfect colour for me. If your wondering I wear NW20 in MAC foundation shades.


The packaging is probably the best way this product could be. A squeeze tube makes it possible to control the amount of product you use. And in my opinion you only need a small amount for your entire face.





It can be used as a foundation itself (although it doesn't advertise as a foundation as its very sheer coverage) or as a primer. I think it works best as a primer if you have blemishes to cover like I do and as a tinted moisturiser if you have skin with no blemishes and you just want to even the skin tone out. 
Now annoyingly I didn't think to take a before shot of me with no make up although it would of taken some courage for me to do that (with my skin in the state it is at the moment) but I do have a picture of me after I used it with my makeup fully complete.




I would never say my skin looks perfect but this is as close to perfect as I think is humanly possible! So what do I think?? This is now in my everyday daily makeup routine and I love it! Definitely 5/5!!

Have you tried it yet? What are your thoughts?

Haul...Superdrug & Primark.

Hello Lovelies!
Happy September!
Today I bring you a little haul from the past week of some bits and bobs I picked up. I really wanted to post this sooner but have been at work but now I am off for 9 days wooooooo! So I have plenty of time to do posts which I'm actually quite excited about!! On to the goods...

Garnier BB Cream & Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser
I don't want to talk too much about these products as I am planning to do a whole separate post about them. I absolutely adore the Garnier BB Cream, it makes my foundation look flawless after I apply it on top. I bought the light one and it's the perfect colour for my skin. I haven't tried the hot cloth cleanser yet but you will just have to look out for my separate post to see what I thought of it.

Beauty UK Glam Nails & MUA Nail Polishes & Blush

Beauty UK Glam Nails 'Golden Chestnut'
I love this colour and it is definitely the perfect colour for autumn! Even though I have sneakily worn this colour on my nails already! I got compliments at work from both colleagues and passengers about the colour and they didn't believe me when I said it was only £2.99 from Superdrug. Most thought it was Chanel for some reason!!


Beauty UK Glam Nails 'Gun Metal'
Same again with this colour. It such a nice shade of silver if that makes sense. I haven't seen any other colour quite like this before. It is nowhere near the same colour but it could kind of be classed as a cheap version of Chanels 'Graphite' if you wanted something similar but didn't want to pay the cost of a Chanel nail polish.


MUA Blush 'Shade 1'


I have never tried a MUA blush but I heard a lot of good stuff about them so I thought why not it's only £1 I'm losing out on if I don't like it. I'm hoping to write a post about cheap vs. high end make up sometime this week so look out for that.


MUA Nail Polish 'Shade 19' & 'Shade 21'

 I bought both these as again they are perfect autumn colours. And at £1 each absolute bargain. I quickly did a quick test on a nail and the formula is nice and creamy and they are very pigmented for only being £1. So just the usual 2-3 coats will do!


6 Piece Mini Manicure Set


I had gotton one of these last year from Superdrug but like most things slowly 1 by 1 things started to go missing so I thought I'd just replace it. So I walked into Superdrug and wandered over to the nail care area and saw this cute little manicure set. Only £2.99 as well bargain!


Autumn Bracelet from Primark


I found this lovely bracelet whilst rummaging around the jewellery section and immediately fell in love with it. I wear it everyday to work and everyone is always shocked to hear that its from Primark! And for only £2 its a great bargain!
