Nuxe Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm

Hello Lovelies,

Today I wanted to share with you something I have been using a lot lately and that is Nuxe’s Rêve de Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm. I was recommended this by a couple of Bloggers on Twitter and when I was ordering some other things from Escentual a little while ago I noticed this was on offer (I think it had 30% off or something similar), so I decided to try it and I am really pleased that I did. 

This has ‘honey and precious oils’ in it, as well as nourishing shea butter which makes it extra moisturising. It is a lovely thick lip balm that feels really moisturising as soon as you apply it and it feels creamy rather than greasy like some lip balms can. I keep this on my bedside table, because it is perfect to use just before bed, so when you wake up your lips are soft, smooth and hydrated. This comes in a glass jar which I think helps makes it feel like the luxurious product that it is.

I have been enjoying using this for a while, but have found myself using it more recently now the weather has turned colder to stop my lips getting dry. This is usually £9.50, which I think is a good price for this and I would buy it again. 

I am sure this is the first Nuxe product I have tried, but after using this I would like to try some more. Do you have any Nuxe products you would recommend or that you have tried and didn't like?

Thanks for reading :)

Blog Sale

Hello Lovelies,

I have been having a tidy up and found some products that I mostly haven’t used/have only used once, so rather than keeping them in a drawer I thought I would have a Blog Sale so they can go to someone who will use them :)

To make it fair I have listed below some ‘rules’ and information below:

UK only.
If more than one person wants the same item I will offer it to the first person to comment first.

If you want to buy something please comment on this Post, including your PayPal email address and I will send you an invoice via PayPal.
Please pay within 24 hours from receiving the invoice from me.
When you have paid for an item it will be crossed out on here.
Once payment has been received I will try and post within a couple of days.

When you send payment please mark as a ‘gift’ if possible.
I have put the condition/usage next to each item.
No returns, so please make sure you know what you are buying (look at swatches online etc if you aren't familiar with something), I don’t want you to buy something thinking it is something else and be disappointed.

Wall Stickers

Hello Lovelies, 

I had quite a large blank space on the wall behind my TV between the top of the TV and the ceiling and decided I wanted a wall sticker to break it up a bit. There are so many wall stickers available online and lots that you can have customised. After looking at lots of different ones I found this gorgeous one of a cat sitting on a branch with some birds, which I bought from here.  

You can get this particular sticker in different colours and I chose black because my Lounge is mainly black, cream and teal. When it arrived I wasn't sure how easy it would be to apply to the wall, but it was really easy although because it was quite big I did need someone's help to actually put it on the wall. 

It came with a sheet covering the front and the back of the sticker. Firstly you had to put the sticker on a flat surface and rub the back of the sticker with a credit card to ensure it was stuck to the front sheet. Then gently peel off the backing sheet, which leaves the sticky side exposed and the sticker still stuck to the front sheet. Then you just position it on the wall, smooth over the front sheet with a credit card to ensure the sticker is stuck to the wall and then gently peel off the front sheet. Then once the sticker is stuck to the wall you can rub out any bubbles with a soft cloth. 

I was really pleased how this turned out and would definitely buy something like this again. I quite like the wall stickers that are quotes, like 'Always Kiss Me Goodnight' and 'Live every moment, Laugh every day, Love beyond words.', so might get one of these for somewhere else in the House.

I hope you found this helpful if you are looking for something for your wall and want something a bit different to a canvas or picture. 

Thanks for reading :)

NOTD - Barry M Textured Glitter Nail Paint in Countess

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have a NOTD Post for you and my NOTD is Barry M Textured Glitter Nail Paint in Countess. This is part of Barry M’s new Royal Glitter Collection and a few weeks ago I got this one and Duchess which I posted about here.

This is the most gorgeous dark purple colour with lots of sparkle in it and I absolutely love it and think it is perfect for this time of year. The nail polish is quite thick and the brush is also a nice big thick one that means it is really easy to apply. You could get away with just one coat, but I like to apply two. When it dries it is like Barry M's other Textured Nail Paint and not smooth, but if you apply a top coat it makes it more sparkly and glossy. I think if you applied more than one coat of a top coat it would be even smoother and glossier. 

In the photo I have applied a base coat of Rimmel’s Nail Rescue, then two coats of the Barry M Nail Paint followed by a coat of No. 7's Stay Perfect Top Coat.

Have you tried any of these?

Thanks for reading :)

John Lewis Blogger Secret Santa - My Gift

Hello Lovelies,

You may have seen that I recently took part in the John Lewis Blogger Secret Santa. I was so excited to be invited to take part and I had to choose a gift for Charlotte from Confessions of a Small Town Girl. I chose her a Ted Baker Tyro Crystal Bow Bobble Patent Purse in Black. The gift she chose for me arrived at the weekend and I was really excited to see what she had chosen for me. 

Charlotte chose for me a Ciaté Mini Nail Lacquer Advent Calendar and a Ciaté Red Velvet Manicure Set. I was really pleased when I saw that she had chosen these for me. I paint my nails at least twice a week at the moment because I find that if they aren't painted they tend to break more, so these really are excellent gifts for me.

I think Beauty Advent Calendars are a lovely idea and I have already treated myself to the Boots one, so now I have two to look forward to opening and I can’t wait until 1st December! I haven’t looked at the back of the Advent Calendar and I'm not going to so when I open it, the colour/type of nail polish will be a surprise.

I haven’t tried a velvet manicure set before but I love red nail polish, especially at this time of year and this looks gorgeous. This was a perfect choice as a gift for me and I can’t wait to try it! 

Thank you Charlotte for choosing me these gifts and to John Lewis for sending me them!

Did you take part in John Lewis’ Blogger Secret Santa?
