Review: NEOM Organic Room Mist in Refresh (Sicilian Lemon & Fresh Basil)

 NEOM Organic Room Mist in Refresh* (100ml, £16, link)

I've never used room sprays in the past, but since moving into a house with a dog, I've come to appreciate the benefits of having one handy to use before guests come around.  My room spray of choice?  Well, it had to be something from NEOM of course.

Review & Swatches: Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette + Giveaway!

 Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette (£37, link)

They say good things come to those who wait, and it certainly did in my case.  I lusted after the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette ever since I saw it launched, but convinced myself that it was just too much of a splurge (considering how many neutral eyeshadows I already have in my possession I was probably right).  Luckily for me, a birthday and my mother's purse intervened, and the rest, as they say, is history.  There's no doubt in my mind that you've already read a million and one reviews of this amazing palette, but this one has a cheeky little giveaway at the end!

Samples Review & Swatches: Vapour Organic Beauty - Illusionist Concealer in 030 & Siren Lipstick in Chere

You may have seen me mention a fantastic online shopping site called Naturisimo previously on this blog.  Along with a whole host of wonderful, natural beauty goodies from a vast array of brands, they also offer customers the option of adding up to 5 product samples with every order made.  Some of these are free, others you pay for.  With my last order, I picked up two samples from a make-up brand called Vapour Organic Beauty who I'd heard a lot of good things about.

Rave Review: Real Techniques Blush Brush

 Real Techniques Blush Brush (£9.99, link)

I never thought I'd ever be writing a post about how much I love a blusher brush.  Funny how things turn out isn't it?!  I'm a big blush fan but I'd never quite found a brush to apply it with that I truly adored, until now.

Summer Staple: Purepotions Rescue Salves Set - Review

 Purepotions Rescue Salves Set* (4 x 15mls, £16.99, link)

Whilst I love Summer in all of its glory, it does have a habit of throwing up a few problems such as having to deal with pesky insect bites, sunburn, and sore feet from walking in sandals all day.  But before you rush off to your local chemist, why not turn straight to Mother Nature instead?  Or more specifically, Purepotions and their wonderful Rescue Salves Set.
