Nyx and Wet n Wild Haul

Nyx Wet n Wild haul blush eyeliner lipstick eye shadow

I went a little mad. A lot mad. I had actually only got half of this then went back for more that's why there's a dirty great fingerprint in the bronzer/blushers! A spending ban is long overdue. Anyway here's what I got!

Nyx Bronzer and Blusher combo in BBC02 Ibiza and BBC03 Marbella
In a perfect world I would have bought one with a matte blusher and matte bronzer but they didn’t have one like that hence why I bought two! I’ll use the shimmery blush and bronzer more in the summer but matte shades are my favourite!

Nyx powder blush in PB01 Mocha
I have one of these blushers and I LOVE it, it’s in the shade Dusty Rose which is a bit lighter than this and both are matte! It gives a lovely flush of colour to the face and is pigmented but not too pigmented!

Nyx Round Lipstick in 628 Tea Rose
This is fast becoming my new favourite lipstick; it gives a lovely pink colour to the lips, is nicely pigmented and lasts a decent amount of time without touch ups!

Nyx Eye and Eyebrow Pencil in Black Brown
I haven’t tried this in my brows but it’s nice and soft for using to line my eyes and a nice dark brown colour.

Coloricon Brow and Eye Liner in Bark Brown
Again I haven’t tried this in my brows but it’s pigmented and doesn’t drag when I line my upper eyelid! It also has a long pencil/handle which I find good for controlling where you put the liner!

Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Colour in Just Peachy, Rose-bud and Mauve Outta Here
I love the colours of these lipsticks and they are so pigmented on the lips too! However they are really drying and even after using a lip scrub they show up any dry skin on the lips! I’ve taken to putting a light layer on then go over this with a clear lip balm like Carmex to give a little extra moisture and gloss!

Wet n Wild Comfort Zone
This palette is so pigmented and so cheap! I hope you can see that from the swatches I’ve done! 
I would have loved for there to be a few matte shades to use through the crease but I can’t complain too much as the quality of the shadows is amazing!

Wet n Wild comfort zone palette
The bottom right shade is so different to anything else I own, it’s quite duo chrome!

MegaLast Salon Nail Colour in Through the Grapevine
Nice bright colour that lasts ages on my toenails and gives a really high shine finish! It’s also opaque in one layer and has a handy wide brush that coats the nails quickly!

I have a few other bits and pieces from both these brands that I’ve had for longer so if you’d like to see what else I have let me know :)
What’s your favourite Nyx or Wet n Wild product or what would you most like to try from the brands?

2.      Include a link to their blog
3.      Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly
4.      Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger award – you might include a link back to the post on your site announcing their nomination
5.      And of course, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself

The Latest in Beauty Glamour Summer Edit

glamour latest in beauty summer edit box

I don’t subscribe to any beauty boxes because I don’t like surprises; I like to see what I’m getting for my money! The only ones I’ve purchased in the past are the Latest in Beauty offerings and the odd one from Look Fantastic. As soon as I saw the newest Glamour collaboration with Latest in Beauty I didn’t waste any time checking out with it. For £17.99 you get 11 different items all must haves for the summer! Here’s what’s in the box:

glamour latest in beauty summer edit review

Nails Inc Gel Effect Nail Polish (3 variations)
I got the shade Kensington Passage, a bright coral shade that will look amazing with a tan over the summer months!

Vita Liberata Trystal Minerals and Kabuki brush
This is described as a self-tanning bronzer that develops and lasts for up to five days. I’m excited to try it and the kabuki brush that comes with it is so soft!

Pixi Glow Tonic
I already have and love the full size of this so I’m glad I now have a mini for any trips away!

L’Occitane Shampoo and Conditioner
I have never tried anything from L’Occitane but I’ve heard a lot of good things so I can’t wait to see how this shampoo and conditioner fare!

Caudalie Divine Oil
If you saw my last post, I recently bought a few other bits from Caudalie so I’m looking forward to trying this multitasking oil now too!

Bourjois Colour Boost lip crayon (3 variations)
I got the shade Peach on the Beach which unfortunately I already own buuuut my mum also bought one of these boxes so I’m hoping if she receives a different colour she will swap with me :) 

Balance Me Super Toning Body Polish
Again, I haven’t tried anything from Balance Me before but I love scrubs so I have high hopes for this with its promise to tone!

Eucerin Sun Care (4 variations)
I got the SPF 30 Sun Crème for face which I haven’t tried out yet but I’m hoping it won’t be too greasy as I want to put make up over it! SPF is so important all year round but especially now in the Summer so I’m glad I have this!

Seekers of the Sun Luxury Temporary Tattoos
Not going to lie I will never use these haha I will probably give them to a younger cousin who will have a field day with them!

Glamour latest in beauty summer edit review products

Overall, a great box! Looking closer at the variations available for the Eucerin sun cream I would have preferred the Mattifying Sun Fluid for face as I have quite oily skin but I’m so happy with the contents! If you fancy treating yourself you can get a hold of the Glamour Latest in Beauty Summer Edit here!


What do you think of the products in the box?

Look Fantastic Haul #1

look fantastic nuxe caudalie skincare haul

Short one today with a few bits I bought a few weeks ago! I've been trying to invest in my skincare a bit more recently and here’s what I picked up when a few bits were on offer and some others had free gifts! Anyone else not able to resist a free gift?

For reference I have oily/combination skin that is very prone to spots and can get quite dehydrated – fun times! Here’s what I got:

Nuxe Gentle Toning Lotion and Caudalie Moisturising Toner
Toning is a big part of my skincare routine and recently I've felt the one I was using was stripping my skin a little too much so I wanted to try some that don’t have such a high alcohol content. I also got the Pixi Glow Tonic and La Roche Posay Serozinc a few months ago so haven’t actually tried the Nuxe and Caudalie ones I've bought yet!

Caudalie Grape Water
I saw Caroline Hirons include this in a blog post a while back so in the bag it went!

Caudalie Must Have Set
This set includes the Beauty Elixir, Lip Conditioner, Hand and Nail Cream, Vinosource Moisturising Sorbet and Gentle Cleansing Milk. The only thing I had tried from Caudalie before was the Beauty Elixir and I liked it but it’s so expensive so I thought this set worked out better value!

I then got two Caudalie face masks as part of the gift with purchase they were offering included the Glycolic Peel and Instant Detox Mask! Only used them once but I like them so far!

Leighton Denny Hoof stick
Obviously not skincare but I was getting sick of using wooden orange sticks and wanted something a bit more permanent! Loving it so far and I am working on a post on my must haves for an at home manicure!


Have you tried anything I've mentioned? I’d love to know what you thought of it!
