Dissapointing Products..

Rather then doing another monthly favourites, I thought I would mix it up do a disappointing products post.


1. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream Sun Defence for Face with SPF 50

Where to begin? For such a tiny tube this is a freakin hefty price tag at £22 pounds..(I'm still wincing)

I didn't just throw this into my basket, I'd read glowing reviews online.

Alas I don't feel this does anything more for my skin, it hasn't prevented breakouts or made it more supple, the only reason I use it is for the SPF 50, and feel that because of the price, I should use every last drop.

I also hate the smell of this.. it's a perfumed lemon kind of scent, definitely not my favourite.

I won't be re purchasing fo sure!

2. Revolution Make up Eyeshadow palette Iconic 3

This has been dubbed as the dupe for the Urban decay Naked 3.

Again I really didn't love this.. The light pink shimmery shade in this, just kind of flakes. There's also quite allot of fall out to the shadows as well.

I think mainly what I'm not so keen on is actually the rose tones of this palette, and I'm not sure they really suit many.

I would however recommend buying this if you aren't sure about the Naked 3 to see if these tones are really for you.

Monthly Favourites November: Bouquets| Beauty

I thought it might be quite nice to do a monthly favourites post.

Be that some of my favourite bouquets that I have made this month, and also some products that I have been using and loving.

First Up Bouquets

1. Is a very simple shower bridal bouquet in different shades of pink. Effortless and really pretty really suited the bride.

2. Bright Autumn Hand Tied
This bouquet was for someone who was going for dinner and wanted something to take. The people they were visiting are originally from Hong Kong, and so I tried to use quite bright colours, using Leucaspurnum Spray Chrysanths and pink aqua Roses. Wrapped in a tisse paper collar which is of a similar style in that area of the world. Customer was very happy and said it really made an impact for her dinner.

3. I know pink again, but lot's of people have been asking for pink at the moment which is quite unusual for this time of year! This was for a special birthday, presented in a vase. I plaited palm leaves with ribbon to give an extra bit of sparkle, as well as a couple of small white feather butterfly's

Beauty Products

1. This is the Rimmel Apocolips, I guess it's a lip gloss but when it's applied it dries it's much more like a lipstick.

I've heard so many good things about these that I just had to try them. I wasn't dissapointed, absolutly gorgeous colour and lovely smell and taste to them, slightly fruity.

This is in 'Big Bang' which is a very bright, pillar box red. If you wanted a darker more berry shade then 'Around the world' is a good one to go for.

I would apply a bit of lip balm before you apply the product, I just find it gave me a bit of extra staying power.

They stay on your lips for ages and definately don't forget to blot before you head out as you get a lot of product on the end of the wand.
I'd also check out your local supermarkets that stock Rimmel as you may be able to get it for a bit cheaper ;)



2. This is a new brand I'd never heard of before INGLOT

http://www.inglotuk.com/

INGLOT is a Polish brand that is now worldwide.
Here's their website you can also buy their stuff online if you don't have a store near you!

They've recently opened a new store in Cambridge and I can't tell you I was literally in HEAVEN walking into there shop!
SOOO much choice and colour assortment shimmers gloss you name it. All beautiful creamy and long lasting.
The shade I went for is 187 and its like a shimmery corally gold pink.

I'm nver normally a neautrals girl, and normally just go with block colours. But this is just gorgeous perfect for night time if you really want to make up your eyes more, or daytime.

It's very glam, and well worth the money Can't wait to go back and try more of their products!


Anyway, I hope you enjojed my Monthly favourites for November!
