GreenLand Natural Gifts For Christmas!*



Greendland Raspberry travel set Review

Hello Lovelies! Tis the season to be jolly and of course planning what to get for loved ones as well as writing our own wish lists! 
I love purchasing sets for family, and I was lucky to hear about Greenland Beauty which are a company who provide a wonderful range of goodies, that are all Natural and organic skin care.

 I was surprised to get the opportunity to review one of their fruit extracts gift sets, the glorious Raspberry set which contains four travel sized products.

All comments and opinions are 100% my own and I've not been paid to say them.

Initial Thoughts
  • The packaging was perfect for reusable purposes, personally I'd usually take my toiletries away in a separate bag which would usually be a cloth texture; But with this seal lock bag its a better alternative if for instance something was to spill within it can easily be cleaned up!
  • The product packaging is very simple yet states the obvious of the scent and the collection, including all relevant information on the product such as its contents amount and ingredients.
  • The selection of products I found was ideal when you're going either to someone's to stay over or even take on a break away! There is a shower gel to freshen up, a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, a body cream to soften your skin and a fruity hand soap.
  • I found that the actual raspberry scent of the products wasn't overpowering, it was a soft light scent which I feel is perfect for subtle skin care.
  • I think a set like this is adorable for a Christmas gift, especially for those who haven't tried any of this range before. Also with being organic you can't go wrong with kind to skin ingredients!

*NEW* Feature Friday - Culture Vulture 1st of February


New Feature Friday!
Featuring Culture Vulture

 This week's Feature Friday is focusing on a very kitsch and fun business that I came across, Culture Vulture! They are based within their own shop in Leeds, UK, and also have a awesome website which is very retro and quirky.

 From first visiting the website I was overwhelmed by the fun punky layout; more of a pop art inspired theme which already got myself as a viewer very drawn to. Culture Vulture have wonderful items from candy to clothes, gifts to jewellery all with of course a kitsch and unique style to them!

 I was so thrilled to feature them for you, with their variety of products there is definitely something for everyone. 

Interview with Carol l Owner of Culture Vulture

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?
I have always been interested in art and pop culture and I have never liked things that were mass market or mainstream. A big turning point for me was years ago when I first went to New York. It was like a wonderland of creativity. Going there changed me and I saw that it is possible to live your life the way you want to. By starting Culture Vulture I have kind of created my own job and I love it.

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I can shape the direction we go in so I have a lot more freedom and independence than I would working for someone else. Every day is challenging and exciting. Culture Vulture changes all of the time so my job is never boring. For example, our product range changes constantly so we always have something new and interesting coming in. I like opening parcels!

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?
We are proud to still be trading as an independent. It takes a lot of hard work and you have to offer great customer service and keep it unique. I guess I am proud of Culture Vulture as it is right now as I think it is the best it has ever been and we keep on pushing to take the whole thing further. We get a lot of good feedback from customers and that makes me feel proud.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?
 A customer suggested we should open an "Emporium" or a huge version of our shop. That would be fun. We have our own clothing and jewellery ranges and that is an area we will be developing. My own personal ambition is to have Damien Hirst come and work with us to create an installation in our shop. I can dream!

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?
You need to be very self-motivated and prepared to work extremely hard. You need a strong idea of what you are trying to do. Test it out in a small way first before committing time and money to a big project and always listen to your customers - they know what they want. Go for it!

6) Which would you say is your favourite item off your website at the moment?
I think it has to be the plush pug right now as he is new. We have adopted one for the shop and he has been getting about already as you can see from the pics on the site!

 You may have read my previous post about this wonderful website whom supplies gifts from toys to beauty products, and for this Christmas there has been no exception!

Knitted Bootie Owl Slippers & Mememe Cosmetics Gift Set - Beautifully Bronzed

Here are my own thoughts and personal views on these products which I was kindly given to review, all comments and opinions are 100% genuine and my own and I have not been paid to do so.

----------------------------------------------


I was ever so excited to see these adorable slipper booties on their website; they are just as snug as they look too! This year i have loved anything with owl designs on, whether its clothing or furniture i find them so cute so to pick which design to try out... of course i chose the owl! 
They are sculptured nicely so can be easily slipped on and off without any problems, I immediately noticed how comfortable they were with a non-slip sole! The interior is a fleece like texture, which helps even more with keeping the feet warm through the cold season. I'm only a size 4 but these booties can fit from a 4 to a 7 so for me they are indeed very snug. These are currently in stock over on their website along with varies designs, from £17.99. I'm sure i'll be snuggled up wearing these during Christmas, if you do purchase these remember they are also for indoor use only! Perfect for your family or friends!

----------------------------------------------------------------------



Ever stuck for finding a cute beauty gift-set for that special someone? Let them shine this season with gorgeous bronze and gold tones with the beautifully bronzed set from MeMeMe cosmetics. These have been a brand that i have always enjoyed using their products due to their long lasting wear, unique shades and highly pigmented. This set is perfect for those who adore make-up or this brand, with something for the eyes, lips, nails and face with a cute chic make-up bag to store them within. These shades are stunning for winter, and really bring warmth to the skin. What stood out to me the most had to be the bronzing goddess rocks which can be used by sweeping a powder brush or a blush brush along these formed bronze powder rocks to then apply to the cheeks and nose for a sun-kissed look that leaves your skin glowing! Perfect Christmas gift for women and teenagers that's available on-line at £24.99!

Their layout of categories makes it so much easier to view from gadgets to christening gifts or just gifts for him and her! 

Their customer service was wonderful! Very helpful staff who approached me with a friendly manner and i'm very grateful to have the opportunity to review 2 of their beauty gift sets that are available to purchase from their website!

Here are my own thoughts and personal views on these products which I was kindly given to review, all comments and opinions are 100% genuine and my own and I have not been paid to do so.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Firstly is the most stunning set perfect for that natural and nude look,
It's the MeMeMe Makeup gift set - Naturally Nude.


About this Product
8g blusher box measures approx 5.7 cm x 3.2 cm x 5.7 cm
12ml of Ambitious nail colour
Full sized cream lipstick colour in China Rose
The Willow Whisper and Coral Blossom Dew Pots measure approx 3.3 cm x 2.3 cm x 3.3 cm each
The cosmetics bag measures approx 23 cm x 14 cm x 8 cm

What's in the makeup bag?
1 x Blusher
1 x Satin Lip Cream
2 x Cream Eyeshadows
1 x Nail Varnish


Here are the products in more detail and my own thoughts of them

Blush Me! Shade- Coral
8g Product, best used within 18Months of purchase.

Product contains applicator brush and mirror within the lid.

I have heard before so many positive reviews on MeMeMe's Blushes and i can totally see why! The appearance reminds me very much of benefit blushes and their usual contents, but i have found the applicator brush feels just that more softer on the skin than benefit's! 
The blush is compact with a powder base, that is highly pigmented and also can be built up to a matte effect. It is a beautiful peach/coral tone which has a soft texture to it whether you use the brush or just your finger tip to apply to the cheekbones. This shade is perfect for that flush effect and if your daring to try a coral shade this would be great to start off with as it has its slight pinkish tone to it also!

Blush Swatch

Now as a lot of you may already know i adore nail varnish! And what has been hot this season is the perfect nude shade; MeMeMe has included shade 78 in Ambitious within the naturally nude set.

12ml product, best used within 6 months of purchase

I adore this shade so much! Having pale nails with being pale skinned has always worried me on how it would appear so for this i have always tried to avoid un-flattering shades; But to then hear that a big colour trend for nails this season was nudes i had my heart set on finding the right one for me! This varnish is so delightful to wear, and has been perfect for my skin tone! Its a mixture of a dusky pink and beige tone which is very glossy and sophisticated looking, it makes the nails appear longer and manicured! As always i recommend a base coat before applying this product, although it is pale i will still recommend to be on the safe side; But i shall say a topcoat is completely optional as this varnish alone has a glossed shine.

Nail Varnish Swatch

Also included within the gift set were these two Dew pots! which are rich colour eye defining cream In Willow whisper and coral blossom.


Each pot is 3ml, best used within 6months of purchase.

These are beautiful shades that can be worn together or separately, the tones are both natural and subtle for an everyday look, even for bridal make-up! These eye-shadows are cream based, I found the more the product was applied the intense the pigment became. They also have a shimmer to them which can be picked up under lighting but its very natural and not overwhelming which I love about them! Due to the inside container being quite narrow i would suggest using an eye-shadow applicator brush when using this item, i found that this item was so easy to blend and the consistency was compact yet softly textured.

View of Coral Blossom on the Left and Willow Whisper on the Right.

Swatch of each colour.


Last but of course no means least from the naturally nude MeMeMe gift set is this adorable dusky pink satin lipcream lipstick in ChinaRose.



I have seen this shade many times in stores and it has become very popular amongst bloggers! This is a perfect muted pink tone to add that little colour to your lips; This shade is perfect for all skin tones! Would be a lovely lipstick to also wear on your wedding day for those perfect lips and can be touched up during the day. This lipstick has a sheen to it and is very creamy when applying so my tip is to blot the lips after application to help matte the overall effect. This shade is very pigmented and can be built up with applying although it is a cream base lip product i would still apply a lipbalm before hand for that soft not dried out as this can be the case during the autumn/winter periods.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For another wonderful beauty gift, here is the balm's shady lady giraffe palette Vol 3!

14.4g Product, 9 shades, Mirror inside also.

First impressions of this product was how quirky its appearance was! The packaging had an outer slip which helps the palette to remain compact, when the slip is removed the palette can be opened and closed easily with a magnetic closure. When opening the palette you can find a mirror within the top half that is completely secure, which makes it handy for when on the go touch ups!  Each shade has its own girly name which i found very 
creative when it came to the names they used such as, 'All the way Annie  'Come hither Heather' and 'safe bet Annette' I think this helps to make much more of a fun product to look at as well as use! Every shadow has shimmer, which the paler colours are perfect for highlighting and the darker can either be blended for a smoky effect or applied for intensity. Personally the shades appear perfect for a natural look especially within the autumn season with its moss green and plum shade included. 



As you may also notice, not only does the palette show which shade is which by printing the name of each above the shade themselves but also if it is an eye-shadow or can also be used as an eye-liner which i think is a nice touch to give people more ideas on how to use the palette when trying different looks! These eyeshadows are compact powder based and very soft to the touch, lovely pigmentation and in all i think this would make such a nice gift for someone who loves their palettes and all things retro this christmas time!


This product currently has 10% off its usual price! Check it out over on -

Ellie's Birthday Haul ❤

So this is a new type of blog post that I am writing today; It's a birthday haul!
I was thinking over about sharing this with you and from many comments I received on Twitter of you whom wanted to see what goodies I received on my birthday.. well here we go! 


So for my birthday I went for a weekend away to the wonderful place of York; Both myself and my mum went so it was very much more of a girly weekend! Hehe. We had so much of a struggle when it came to getting there, for the first time we travelled there by train and I think we can safely say the experience was quite overwhelming...
But we did it and we got there! *Phew*


I had the most beautiful cards and stunning gifts that as you may see, really reflected my love and adore for all things cute and shabby!


I feel that each gift has its own special meaning, as I have got older I didn't have a particular thought of 'what I would like for my birthday' But I am hoping some point to re-do my bedroom and make it totally vintage and shabby! So i'm very sure many of these beautiful gifts will have their proud place in there!


Of course if you have any questions if your curious on anything I received i'd be more than happy to tell you more about it! Hehe. Because a lot of my family wasn't too sure on what to get as they were worried I had already had it.. they kindly gave me money to buy what I would prefer instead! With this as you may have spotted I purchased the Feeling Dandy kit by Benefit, a Fashionista palette which had a free mascara and a stunning O.P.I Nail Varnish in Pedal Faster Suzi! My brother, sister in law and lovely baby niece also gave me a boots voucher to go towards a brand new perfume i've been having my eye on too! I'm sure I will be giving you brand new posts on these as soon as I can!


I would love to thank all my wonderful family for the sweet and kind hearted cards and gifts, It really was a lovely birthday away from a lot of stress and emotional times back at home so I couldn't be any more grateful!
