Make A Statement With Fervour&Allura ~ Review*




Statement Jewellery from Fervour&Allura
Review and Thoughts


I've been so excited to introduce this company to you all; I had come across them on Twitter and was delighted to be accepted to blog for them. Fervour&Allura produce beautiful statement pieces such as necklaces and even hair accessories that stand out from the rest. 
I'm honored to give my thoughts and opinions on the following items and would like to state that these are 100% my own honest opinions and I have not been paid to say them.


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

Grey Collar Necklace - £14.00

This piece completely caught my eye on their website; The stones are a pale grey with an almost lilac shade to them. I find the necklace quite light wearing and fits well with many outfits due to this cool tone. This necklace also reminds me of the 1950s era because of it's class and charm, to wear with a vintage dress would be perfect!


As you can see the diamond detailing is the perfect touch to this statement necklace, it reflects the light wonderfully making it a trend staple item to any collection. 

Purchase

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

Peach and blue sapphire detail pendant - £12.00

Since the website had so many beautiful pieces to choose another item it was extremely tricky, but I feel the style and size of this necklace was something I've never seen before. The pendent is upon a deep silver chain, and can be altered to where fits most comfortable. I found the colours of the pendent unusual and unique, that work together very well for both a casual or evening look. 
This would be perfect to start any statement necklace collection off, or as a special treat!

Purchase

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

The items came wrapped in delicate tissue paper and a gorgeous sticker logo that added the finishing touch to such a wonderful package. Thank you to Fervour&Allura for this opportunity and for also providing my readers with 15% off your purchase on their site with the code - ELLIEF

#TopCornTribe Ellie's Thoughts And Overview!*



Metcalfe's Topcorn
#TopCornTribe's Skinny Gift box

Firstly I would love to thank the TopCorn team for this opportunity to sample and try their popcorn range! I've loved popcorn for as long as I can remember, whether its been at the cinema or picking up a pack when out shopping; Metcalfe brought some interesting flavor concepts together; Providing this and making them a snack that is completely guilt free which is why they are known for their 'Skinny Popcorn' 

 I was contacted out of the blue with an email regarding their Topcorntribe, This is something I have never heard of, and as you know my blog considers all things Unique and fun, I couldn't pass up the chance to share this with you all!



What did the Gift box contain?


I was surprised to receive such a large box as a complimentary gift, with 12 packets of their snack size Topcorn in 6 different flavors, it was a perfect way to sample some of their collection!

Here is each pack in detail!

Chocolate Crackle

Sweet 'n Salt

Sea Salt

Wasabi Glaze

Sweet Cinnamon Spice

Heat 'n Sweet

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

Of course as for the taste test goes, I've only tried the Chocolate crackle so far; The taste and texture is unbelievable! It goes through a chocolate drizzle machine process when it is made, so each piece has that added chocolate bonus! 

I will update you on the other flavors that I try through Twitter with the hashtag #TopCornTribe so look out for the tweets!

Thank you again to the amazing team for allowing me to try their gift box out!

Nottingham BBlogger Meet-up and Haul!



(Big Thankyou to Sophia aka TattooedTeaLady for allowing me to include this picture from her blog!)

So as a lot of you may have heard, Saturday the 13th of April was the big #NottsBBMeet! I had never been so nervous! A lot of the bloggers were travelling from all over just to be there, luckily I got myself ready in time to get the bus there which only took around an hour. Our meeting point was at the statue lions at 11am where we were all given our name tags which included our blog link's and Twitter names. Over time the group began to build as everyone got there, I was so shy but the lovely Laura from http://laura-k.co.uk/ Arrived and straight away we spoke and had an instant connection! She is such a wonderful person and I'm so pleased to have met her! She did help me spend my money too! Hehe!

So from the meeting at the lions, the groups who were going to the Kiehls visits were notified on their times and from this both myself, Laura, Vanessa and Meimei began our shopping! It was all very surreal for me even at this point, after some time we then met up with everyone again and did a little about me circle, where each of us said who we are and what our blog's were. This was the point that I finally met the awesome Sophia and Jessie I must say it was a proud moment to meet them both.

Throughout the day there were 4 groups who went to the amazing Kiehls store where they had a champagne breakfast, yes I was stood at the window like a puppy swooning over the cupcakes...But it seemed everyone had a great experience and bought some great products that I will be looking out for on their blogs! 

We all started to head up towards the Victoria Centre which had shops such as Lush, Boots, House of Fraser, Topshop etc. I then met the sweet Sarah from http://entirely-sarah.blogspot.co.uk/ was such a nice pleasure to meet her and also we didn't realise how local we were to one another! Such a small world huh! We went into Lush where although they had a fault with their lighting they did brilliantly with having all us bloggers coming in at once! So a big thank you to them :D 
During the point where we all came outside I was so pleased to finally meet the Pampered Prince! He was such a sweetheart :) 
Overall I felt like i'd shopped till i dropped but it was all so worth it! For my first ever meet-up it was the most greatest experience I have ever had; and for this I want to say an extra special thank you to Sophia and the girls for organising the wonderful day, It was a fabulous turn out and was nice to meet the bloggers in person! I shall definitely be attending more meet-ups in the future! 

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

Now on to the haul and what I purchased at the Meet-up!


Some of my purchases had been from what I had previously placed on my wishlist, where as others were just what stood out to me on the day!





My first purchases was of course at MAC! I did go in hoping they had some of the Betty Archie's girl's items left but they didn't *sad face* But I didn't leave there empty handed; I purchased the Matte Candy Yum-Yum lipstick as you can tell its a very bold and bright Pink! I've heard so much about this lipstick and because I love wearing bold statement colours I couldn't help but buy it! It's such a beauty! 
Also purchased a lustre lipstick in the shade LoveLorn, It's a much softer pink shade with a nice glossy shine which feels very moisturising on the lips and will be a perfect shade for summer and every day looks.



During our visit in John Lewis, I still had some Christmas vouchers which I hadn't used up and thought this would be the perfect time to use them! I came across the mini o.p.i set of the OZ the great and powerful varnishes that I've seen many times and thought it would be perfect as I'm such a lover of nail varnishes and The wizard of OZ! I then rushed over to the Liz Earle stand,  I've only had one product of Liz Earle and because I've enjoyed using it so much, I treated myself to the Cleanse and polish starter set, which was a good price for the cleaner and 2 pure muslin cloths. Looking forward to using it as I've heard and read many good reviews on this product!


Next stop was boots! It's so big at Nottingham and there were a few things on my wishlist that I could have bought, but overall the Nicki Minaj fragrance, Pink Friday was my most lusted after item. I purchased the 50ml which comes fully with the head etc I love the bottle so much and will be great for displaying even after use! Also for buying this size I got a free Pink Friday limited edition bag and of course with it being pink I was too excited and thought it was a fantastic purchase.





Our last visit before heading home was House of Fraser, by this point we were all so tired and feet were aching but I made my last purchase for the last Urban Decay Glinda Palette on display. Most eye-shadow palettes that I have are the basic neutrals so when seeing these shades and knowing how pigmented and fantastic quality Urban Decay always has, I couldn't resist, and of course Laura kept saying 'buy it buy it!' and I did hehe. But this was another product that I have been wanting for so long I was pleased to finally have it!

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

Overall the meet-up was a huge success! I heard also that we were trending too on twitter which is awesome to hear. I've loved meeting new faces and getting to know each other more; lets hope we have more meet-ups in the future! Big thanks again to Sophia and the girls for making this day possible :)
