Trilogy Instant Bronzing Gel Review

*This product was kindly sent to me by the lovely people at www.mypure.co.uk all opinions are my own.*

Hello, Beautifuls! 

It seems like the summer is finally upon us and many of us are looking to get a nice, summer glow to our complexions. 

When it comes to tanning I want it to look as natural as possible without it being streaky or orange. I also want it to be a more gradual process rather than being my normal pale self one day to *BOOM* dark and tanned the next. So I decided to try Trilogy's Instant Bronzing Gel, which is a natural, cruelty-free alternative to commercial tanners. 

I absolutely ADORE the Trilogy packaging and this is no exception. It looks classy and well designed and conveys the image of a high-quality product. The product itself is packaged in a bronzed squeezy tube with a secure fitting plastic lid to dispense the gel.

I really like this kind of packaging as it means it is travel-friendly and an easy addition to any overnight bag.

On to the product itself. It smells DIVINE. It smells of caramelised sugar and pecans, which is heaven to me as I adore caramel scents. It applies as a thin gel and dries extremely quickly. Upon application, it gives the skin a gorgeous bronzed shimmer and it develops to a deep, natural tan within two to three hours.

I really like how you can use this product once to give a subtle tanned appearance to the skin or apply it daily to achieve a deep, lasting tan. It seems a much more convenient, versatile alternative to commercial tanning products. 

Because it applies as a sheer gel it adapts and flatters individual complexions and lets natural skin show through rather than smothering it in fake tan. 

I honestly love this product so much. It is by far the best "at home tanner" I have tried and the fact it is cruelty-free and natural is a HUGE bonus!

Spooky Eyes White Manson Contact Lenses Review

*Disclaimer: Although I did not pay for these lenses my opinion is my own and this review is honestly written. I would NOT put my name or recommendation to a product I did not love*

Hello, Dolls! 

Today I am reviewing a product from one of my favourite stores SpookyEyes.com.

Spooky Eyes sell some AMAZING Coloured Contact Lenses  and I opted to get the amazing White Manson Lenses by Dream Eyes. 

The lenses arrive in a sealed cardboard box with each lens packaged in a secure, foil sealed blister pack. I really like this kind of packaging as it means there is far less room for breakage in transit and you don't have to deal with the razor sharp metal lids that traditional glass vials have.

The lenses have a diameter of 14.5mm and a base curve of 8.6 which is a perfect size for me.
These lenses have a year long life span from opening which means you get amazing value for money with them!

Now on to the most important parts of the review, the comfort and aesthetic of the lenses in the eye.

Basic, slightly rushed Gothic make-up coupled with the White Manson Lenes by Dream Eyes From Spooky Eyes.

The lenses look REALLY bright in. They are highly  opaque and fully cover my natural eye colour for a highly dramatic, creepy effect. 

The Manson style of lens lends itself really well to gothic/alternative fashion looks as well as Halloween and clubbing. 

These lenses are FDA Approved and meet IOS International Standards. They have a water content of 42% making them REALLY comfortable and ultra hydrating in the eye. I had to use rewetting drops very infrequently throughout the day when wearing these lenses and I have very dry eyes normally.

These lenses are amazing for grabbing attention and I feel they offer a lot of versatility for costumes or high impact make-ups!

I personally love these lenses and am blown away with how comfortable they are!

You can purchase these lenses for $28.95 USD (£20.30 GBP) HERE and feel free to check out the amazing selection of coloured contact lenses SpookyEyes.com offers!

MUNIO CANDELA CINNAMON SOY CANDLE REVIEW

*This product was kindly sent to me by the lovely people at www.mypure.co.uk all opinions are my own.*

Hello, Beautifuls! 

As my regular readers will know there are few things I love more than a scented candle. Especially a natural scented candle! The Munio Candela candles looked like everything I love, they look quaint, rustic and natural and when I saw they have a cinnamon scented one I just HAD to try it! 

The candle arrives packaged in a cute, rustic cardboard box. Which looks both sleek and natural. I personally love rustic packaging on products like this and this is a perfect example of that. 

The candle itself is made from natural Soy Wax rather than the traditional beeswax so this is a vegan-friendly product! The candle also has a lead-free, cotton wick. The candle has a 15-hour burn time which is apparently 50% longer than a regular candle of the same size, this makes the product excellent value for money! 

The candle itself has a very subtle, natural cinnamon scent. It is far from overpowering or synthetic. It also has natural cinnamon sticks held inside the candle by the soy wax and they honestly smell divine once the candle is lit. 

This really is a truly natural candle and I think it would make a wonderful gift for anyone who is vegan or interested in natural, cruelty-free products. Or if you are like me and are a candle addict, it makes a lovely gift for yourself to sit and relax with a good book and a nicely scented candle burning in the room. 

You can buy this candle HERE from www.mypure.co.uk for £11.70 

Pinky Paradise Vassen Dolly Plus Red Review

Hello, Beautifuls! 

Today I am reviewing a product which was kindly sent to me by the lovely people at Pinky Paradise. Pinky Paradise is the largest online supplier of circle lenses.  

I, as a make-up artist am a large fan of wearing coloured contact lenses. I love giving my aesthetic an alternative, alien look which in my opinion, is heightened by using circle lenses.  Because of this I leapt at the chance to work with Pinky Paradise and chose to review the gorgeous looking Vassen Dolly Plus Red Circle Lenses. Because who doesn't love red contacts??

The lenses arrived in sealed glass phials which were securely wrapped in packing foam. I was also given the single CUTEST lens case ever. I genuinely love macaroons and a blue and yellow macaroon contact lens case is just so adorable. I was also given a set of velcro hair grips which are really useful for keeping hair out of your face when applying makeup or inserting contact lenses.

The colour of the lens is REALLY vibrant. I think because of how the lens is printed they suit darker eyes better. If there is such a thing as a "natural looking" bright red circle lens it is these. They really blend in with dark eyes and they give such an ethereal, vampy effect. 

These lenses have a 15mm diameter which gives a drastic enlarging effect to the eye. 

Left: Natural Eye. Right: Vassen Dolly Plus Red.

One of the most important parts of contact lenses is the level of comfort. I have worn these lenses for seven hours straight. Using rewetting eye drops roughly every three hours. It is fair to say these are by far the most comfortable pair of contact lenses I have worn. They feel almost invisible in my eye.

I love how well these lenses blend in with my natural eye colour, as well as how comfortable they feel. These have become one of my all time favourite contact lenses and I can not recommend them enough! They arrived in ten days which is incredibly fast.
