FEBRUARY FAVORITES

Hello people!
Everybody has their own favorite products/clothes/perfumes....today i'm going to write about what i have been loving on February.

First ill show you a picture that my husband and me bought.

 
this one its my favorite bit...x-men. Im a fan of the movie.


We bought it in B&Q It was reduce to £19.95 from £25 and when Nathan show it he fall in love.

Moving on to my next favorite thing is a candle but not any candle.
 Its ANTHROPOLOGY CANDLE.


How pretty is the container. The smells is amazing and it take quite a while to burn the candle. I bought it in January but i didnt included in my January favorite so i thought to mention it now. It was on sale when i bought it and its cost me £9.95 and the original price is around £14.

Next is a beauty item,

I know that LA ROCHE-POSAY items are expensive but totally worth it. This item is for my face. Reduce the dark patches on my skin, basically the parts of my skin that had been damage with the excessive sun and no protection. the price of this cream is £14.

next its a body cream....are you as lazy as I am? this is the perfect product.

This is a cream that you can spray, what amazing is that??
I always forget or im lazy to put cream on my body so this is the perfect product, easy and quick. Smells amazing and the price is good, this cost around £5.


Maybe you are asking ....what is that??
 This is REAL TECHNIQUES MIRACLE COMPLEXION SPONGE. £6
this product its amazing to apply the foundation, i used to used foundation brush but with the sponge its much easier to apply and your skin look much natural and well apply. totally recommended!!

Next its a make up palette.


the palette is called W7 IN THE BUFF. I bought it in EBAY and its kind of copy of URBAN DECAY palettes but the quarter of the price. this cost me £7 on ebay and the urban decay pallets cost over £30. I know that the quality is not the same but if you apply primer in you eye lids the eye shadow stays quite well.
so its your choice!!

and lst but no least, i think this has been my favorite item since i bough it. YES!! its my bag from PRIMARK!!


If you saw my primark haul video you will know how in love I am with the bag. I used it everyday for work and its amazing!! I love the colors and the departments on the bag. As you know it cost only £12.

so this are my february favorites, i hope you enjoy checking my blog and please check my facebook and instagram and dont forget to subscribe and like!!

take care....xoxo

DO YOU KNOW WHO IS MADAME KIWI??

Hi everyone...
today's blog is going to be about my collection of Madame kiwi Jewelry.
Many of you probably don't know who is Madame Kiwi, She is a jewelry designer and actually my cousin.
She started her own company in 2011 and she started working with metal jewels, and costume jewels.
This kind of pieces were my first acquisition.



The butterfly necklace is my favorite .Every time i wear it people is asking me here did i get it. But im sorry this piece is unique.                                                                         
the earings, the necklace and the bracelet were my next pieces.

all were christmas presents and i cant tell you the prices, first because they were presents as i said and second because Madame kiwi at the moment is only creating pieces with sterling silver.

Continuing with my collection, the next piece i bought were earings.


as you can see i have a picture wearing them, this was on july 2012. Madame kiwi move on using other types of materials and creating unique and fun pieces. the price of this earing was 59 euros.


In the last 2 pieces are we can see that Madame Kiwi already move on to sterling silver leaving behind the metal jewels and costume jewels.


This neclace was present from my family on my Hen party. but as i can find it in her website i can tell you that this necklace cost 73 euros and its made by STERLING SILVER, SILK THREAD, AGATE.
As you can see this material are nothing to compare with the first pieces i show you.


and the last but no least is this gorgeous ring. Its made by STERLING SILVER AND AGATE. Cost 59 euros And i bought it for my self because i worth it!!

As you can see MADAME KIWI is a fun, creative, unique, individual designer, who doesn't design generic pieces.
Go and check out her website and you can tell me that what im writing is wrong....

BOURJOIS MAKE UP COLLECTION 2014


Hello everyone, Im back with another blog!! How excited is that, I am anyway.
I went to Boots (drugstore) to get a new bronzer due to mine its almost finish and i always wanted to try the Bourjois Bronzing powder. Bourjois its a french company and it is own by CHANEL, so only i can think in good quality!!
We can called like the cheaper brand of Chanel.

As always Boots has an offer if you spend more than £10 in Bourjois products you can get an eye liner worth £7.99 for FREE!! that word always make me have a look. So i end up buying the following products!!


YES, all of this...so as you can see i spend more than £10. Bad girl!! (slap on my hand!)

So, product #1 BOURJOIS SMOKEY EYES eye shadow 
Ive been looking for a grey eye shadow for a while because I think if you have brown eyes intensify the color of your eyes. They are very pigmented so you dont need to apply so much product. the finish look in your eyes its quite metallic, I like it!! I dont know if its for every day make up but its a nice look to go out.



The best of this product is the price, for the 3 eye shadow only £7.99

Moving on, product #2 BOURJOIS EYE LINE FEUTRE 
the price of this poduct is £7.49, as I said at the beginning I got it for free when you spend £10 but I tried the product and its quite good. I used eyeliner almost every day and i run out of them quite quick, the last 2 i have been using they were USELESS!! I was very disappointed with them, one was from GOSH and this one wasnt making the eye line as i wanted, the black color was more like grey, no intense at all...not good. And the other one was from L'OREAL I was quite excited to used this one because its the thickest eye liner i have ever seen so i thought its going to be very easy to apply. Its easy but every time I removed the lid the smell of alcohol make me close it straight away, its very powerful so I stop using it. 


I think i used this product long time ago so im happy to have it back.

Product #3 BOURJOIS DELICE DE POUDRE BRONZING 


I look very excited in the picture above because ..yes it look like a chocolate bar, What else can be more excited than that!!!

It very good powder, the color I got was the lightest one but its quite powerful....when i apply on my skin you can see it straight away so you need to be a bit careful depends on your skin color.
The price of this bronzer its a bonus only £6.99, 
Dont forget that all this product that im mentioning are own by CHANEL, so the quality is there.

                                                             

Can you see the bronzer on me? Makes your skin glow, im very happy with the purchase.

Last but no least product #4 BOURJOIS ROUGE COLLECTION LIPSTIC


The one thing i like about this product is the packaging. I think is beautiful and the plus that you can see the color before you open the lid its a plus!!
I didnt wear it on my video but I wore it when i went out with my date ( my husband). Its very cream and moisturize your lips. You dont feel your lips going dry. The one I picked up is the number 18. very beautiful berry color and the price is just £7.99 very affordable for its quality.


I hope you enjoy this blog and now before i finish im going to show you what i was wearing when i went out for dinner.


thanks again for reading my blog and if you want to see how i create this look go and check out on my youtube channel so you can see step by step.
love you all..xoxo
