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!

Art At Your Fingertips - Sparkly-Nails Review*



Hello Lovelies! Hope your all doing well this week; Today I'm bringing to you another Review from the fabulous Sparkly-Nails who kindly sent me these metallic sticker nail art sheets!

The sheets come within a sealed packet and instructions are upon the back to guide you step by step on the correct way of applying the sticker art. If your like me, still practising nail art but usually stuck for designs or the time to fully concentrate, I found these to be a quick and simple way to have your nails looking professionally done in seconds!


I loved that there were a variety of styles and looks that you could create, and I had two occasions in mind which inspired me for the overall nail look. With both weddings and prom very popular within this time of year, I wanted to give my own take on how I could create a quick and easy look. 

The nail-art stickers which I received were - 

I found that the stickers were detailed and textured yet also delicate so I had to take care using tweezers when handling them. The silver vine stickers were in lines and all connected, so with this in mind I created a French manicure and left it to dry; Then when they were I gently pulled away the clear covering and measured against the nail how much of the sticker I would need to use. Using nail scissors I cut the sticker where needed and lightly picked the edge with tweezers to gradually remove the sticker from the packet, I admit I did find it slightly fiddly because it was so fine but I was proud of my results!


I chose this design to be the wedding theme, mainly because I find it very classic and along with a French manicure it completely sets it off. The nail art I would recommend to be placed either on the full set or just the ring fingers, adorable for the bride!

The gold sunflower designs were such a wonderful idea to turn a bold shade into an eye catching floral style. I chose my Essie nail varnish in the shade, Leading Lady and applied two coats for the background. The sunflowers art can be added in one set, twos or threes, I decided to use the threes and apply to the tip of the dry nail lightly pressing it down with the tip of the tweezers before sealing with a topcoat. 


Overall I found these stickers very fun and easy to use! And I look forward to trying different varnishes and art with them. 
Which design do you like the most, wedding vine or prom sunflowers?
Let me know in the comments!

EllieCreation's ChiChi Wish-List


Exciting post today darlings! If you've remembered before I entered the #passionforfashion2 competition to create 3 outfits of my choice all under £200 each. I spotted this new competition and as I'm working my way into introducing more fun fashion posts on UniqueLoveStyle, I thought this would be a great opportunity to give it a go!

We've been asked to create our own wish-list of the beautiful pieces we like the most on http://www.chichiclothing.com/
I have to say I was in my element on their website! I'm very much a dress/skirt type of girl and whether it's a family meal out or a special occasion a cute dress is always something I go for.

Here are my top picks of course it took me some time because there was so much to look at, styles, colours and lengths!


1 - The cute Chi Chi Daria Dress is a skater dress design but for that added girlyness the top half is lace; this is such a flattering dress and can be worn for both daytime or evening wear. The back is beautifully cut out and fastened with a lace bow towards the neck. So soft and flattering this for sure had to be on my wishlist! You can view it in much more detail here - http://www.chichiclothing.com/products/Chi-Chi-Daria-Dress.html

2 - The stylish Chi Chi Maya Dress is my next choice, simply because it's a very fitted bodycon evening dress with stunning diamanté detailing upon the bodice. This is in a soft pearl shade that really compliments the overall detailing, appearing classic with not too much going on. Subtle but still with an add of glamour. Details on this dress can be found here -

3 - The precious Chi Chi Gala Dress may have to be one of my most favourite dresses, It has everything that I love, from the lace top half in black to the floaty powder pink lower part it just holds perfectly. Very fun and feminine and in a flattering shape it will be just wonderful for an evening event, I can just imagine the soft movements of the skirt when dancing the night away! Details on this dress can be found here -

4 - The darling Chi Chi Modesta Dress is the last selection on my wish-list. At first from seeing the picture I thought this was such a princess delicate style, really perfect for a prom or formal event. The top part that's a beautiful heart shaped neck line is in fine lace which is quite a grey/silver tone, overlaying the white dress itself that makes it a stunning contrast. For more information regarding this dress visit here -

I hope that my wish-list has inspired you for maybe your own prom dress or special event that's coming up soon? Which one would you say is your favourite? Feel free to let me know in the comments!

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!
