*NEW* Feature Friday - Kiss&Makeup 4th of October



New Feature Friday!
Featuring Kiss&Makeup

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you've all had a great week and it's officially October too, time to start getting out the coats and scarf! 
This week's feature is the most loveliest blogger, Demi, who runs Kiss&makeup such a creative blog name too I must add. Kiss&makeup is all about beauty and lifestyle, with clear photography and interesting posts she has great potential with her blog!

Was so much fun finding out more about Demi and her thoughts on blogging!

-------------------------------------------------------
Interview with Demi McCann l Owner of Kiss&Makeup Blog


1) What has been your key inspiration to beginning your blog? 






I've always loved all things makeup and beauty, one of my favourite things to do is browse drugstores or makeup departments and stock up on brand new products! As well as that, I love giving my friends makeup advice or sharing with them about my experiences with new purchases - so beauty blogging seemed like a perfect little hobby for me! Really though, what triggered me to start was reading other peoples beauty blogs. There are some truly amazing and beautiful blogs out there, reading them every day is keeping me motivated to keep working on my blog. 




2) What do you enjoy the most about blogging?






The community! It's still very early days for me but I've already spoken to and been in contact with so many lovely people. It's fab having a huge circle of girls (and a few guys!) who all have the same interests and passions as me all just a few clicks away! Another great thing is finishing off a post that you've put a lot of thought and effort into, then sitting back and admiring your hard work!




3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' blog moment?




Hitting over 1000 views after just over one week of blogging, I thought that was pretty crazy! I also have a 'proud' moment every time I get a new follower, it's so satisfying knowing that someone is actually interested in and enjoys what you have to say - so a new follower is always a great thing in my books, I appreciate every single person who follows or reads my little blog!




4) Where do you see yourself and blog develop in the future?
If we're talking about myself specifically in terms of my blog, I try not to think too far into the future - at the moment I'm purely blogging because I really enjoy it, if it ever became anything more than that, well that would be great but I have no plans to pursue beauty as a full time thing currently nor do I have any desire to be the next Lauren Conrad or anything like that!




5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the blogging path like yourself?
Be prepared to dedicate a huge amount of your spare time to your blog, especially of if you want to make a success of it. Also, don't expect for your blog to become a roaring success overnight, it takes time, effort and money - I have spent a small fortune on new products to review since I started blogging! Make every effort to interact with the rest of the blogging community, most of the time they're the ones following your blog!
6) Which would you say is your favourite type of blog post to do?
I love discovering a fantastic new product and sharing with the world just how fantastic it is! I hate bashing products, I always try to find the pros as well as the cons in every product I review, but of course I'm always 100% honest.
7) 3 Must have beauty items you couldn't be without!
- GHDs: I'm so naughty when it comes to using straighteners. My ends get so dry but I always refuse to let my hairdresser cut them off completely! I have seriously curly hair naturally and I've never really embraced it fully because it's so hard to manage, as a result I have straightened and blow dried the life out of my poor hair! I think I might make it my new years resolution for 2014 to only straighten it once a week or something!
- Eyebrow kit/eye brow pencils: I am a firm believer in that a good pair of perfectly shaped and primped eyebrows totally set off your makeup! I feel completely naked without eyebrow makeup, I'd pick an eyebrow pencil over foundation or lipstick any day of the week.
- Smashbox Photo Finish hydrating primer: This is one product my makeup bag could not be without. If you read my blog you'll know how I rave about my dry skin, this primer is a lifesaver and keeps my skin hydrated underneath a full face of makeup whilst at the same time providing a smooth canvas for application. Highly recommend!

Perfect Scents At Lloyds Pharmacy - Juicy Couture Couture*



I've been honoured to have the opportunity to review for LloydsPharmacy, for those who aren't sure what LloydsPharmacy is they're a leading community pharmacy and healthcare provider with over 1,650 pharmacies across the UK, mainly in community and health centre locations. 
They also sell a variety of products from health and well-being to beauty and fragrance; I've been given the chance to select a perfume from their website to provide my honest opinions and comments.

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

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

 Juicy Couture Couture Fragrance Review

On receiving the item, knowing that it was a perfume, I was hopeful that it would arrive safely and damage free in the post...Which luckily it did! 
The main reason I chose this scent to review was due to the fact I'm a complete Juicy Couture newbie! I've never even sampled their scents so to try this for the first time was an exciting joy to have. 
This is the 30ml sized product, I already adore the packaging, Juicy couture go the whole way to make their products appealing and feminine. Perfectly sealed the box explained its contents, ingredients and size etc all in a beautiful golden font that was easy to read. To me the way that the product's information and title is printed, is a edgy but still yet glamorous style with the hot pink lettering catching the eye.


Opening the packaging/box completely felt like Christmas, it was  a wonderful surprise to see such a outstanding bottle of perfume. Already it was shouting out to me that it's a bottle you would never want to throw away even when you've used it up! Perfect for displaying even on a dressing table, Juicy couture couture has a classy appearance. Paying attention to the smallest detail of the top and the added charm to the bottle I was hoping that this scent would smell as good as it looks!


My first reaction after the delicate spray pumped onto my collarbone and wrists was oh my goodness.. I noticed that the scent did have a strong kick to it to begin with, I've been a lover of very light and sweet fragrances so this was something I wasn't use to..But I did begin to gradually become use to it and the scent must have calmed down in around 30minutes of trying it. It has a fun and flirty scent that was noticed quite a few times from people's reactions, so positive compliments/reactions was a complete bonus! 
Upon first application the mandarin orange, orange blossom and grapefruit top notes are smooth and strangely intriguing. What follows is mostly plum, rich and jammy. The honeysuckle and jasmine sit lightly in the background, providing subtle hints of softness and femininity. The drydown isn't particularly ground-breaking, however it is extremely pleasant and soft. The sandalwood, amber and vanilla provide a nice, basic conclusion to a rather unique fragrance.
I've enjoyed wearing it on both daytime and evenings out, and will be interested in looking at other Juicy couture fragrances in the near future.

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

Juicy Couture Couture is currently available and in stock on the LloydsPharmacy website here -

If you've tried this fragrance before what have your thoughts been about it? 
Do let me know in the comments section, I'll be sure to read them!

Darling W7 Debris Collection - Review Mauve Debris*




W7 Debris Collection

I'm very thrilled to let you all know about the new collection W7 have brought out for 2013, this is their Debris Collection. 5 shades have been carefully designed for all year around I was kindly sent over the beautiful Mauve Debris varnish to review.

W7 has always been a favourite brand of mine, their quality and quantity are so reasonable and affordable. I'm excited to see new collections from them as they keep up to date with all the trends and this collection has been perfect for lovers of all things glitter!


Mauve debris is packed full of purple, green and gold shades of glitter; Its fabulous for festivals, carnivals or even fairgrounds for that main element of fun! These specks of glitter pick up wonderfully in the sunlight, the texture of the varnish was very glossy overall so there wasn't a main need for a topcoat. 


To achieve this look I applied about 2-3 coats of the polish so depending on the desired effect layers are the right way to build these polishes up. Personally I would only do a glitter finger on the ring finger than every nail simply because I do have trouble removing glitter base polishes; but completely up to you on how you'd style the Debris shades! 

Priced at £4.95 each, the nail polishes are available online from the first week of July.

Natures Healthbox - Avalon Organics Shampoo & Conditioner Review *




Today's post is featuring a wonderful new company that is called, Natures Healthbox, they specialise in limited to organic, eco-friendly and natural products from skin products to home cleaning! 
I had the opportunity as a blogger to experience the Natures Healthbox experience by reviewing products that can be purchased through their site. I was kindly sent both of these hair care products, which were received nicely packaged with bright tissue paper and green shredding which really reflected the organic and eco theme so well!  

Both of these hair products are the Avalon Organics brand, the shampoo and conditioner both focus on giving the hair more shine naturally with a Ylang Ylang base and enriched with mica minerals, babassu oil, plus vitamin E, panthenol and arginine.


Both bottles are 325ml (11 FL OZ) and clearly mark how the product will help to improve the hair, directions of use and a list of ingredients but it's also noted that they don't contain artificial colours, synthetic fragrances or parabens. With this is mind i was very eager to try them out! My natural hair colour is a dark blonde, but with having highlights etc i have focused a lot on coloured hair shampoos and conditioners. Sometimes i feel my hair can get quite dry and dull at times, i used the shampoo twice, made sure it was thoroughly massaged in and rinsed throughout, to then add the conditioner from the roots up and left it to absorb efficiently.  

The scent was indeed something i wasn't too sure of, but i grew to like it over time! from drying my hair i instantly saw a difference, it was much more glossy, and the blondness enhanced so much more; it made my hair feel so much healthier due to the friendly ingredients within.

I've had so much positive thoughts from using these products and i'll be sure to check out the rest of their eco-friendly line!



These products are £5.99 each which i think for the amount of product you get it's a reasonable price! Please check out their brand new website - http://www.natureshealthbox.co.uk/

For my fabulous followers i have a special discount code offer for you all for their website!
