Kylie Jenner Dupes?

I am a huge fan of Kylie Jenner's Lip range and signature lip colours and when I seen that she was releasing her kits I was pretty excited - but living in Northern Ireland it is incredibly difficult to get your hands on these kinds of products from higher end brands - so I decided to go on a hunt to try and find some lip products that could be a dupe for the Kylier Jenner Lip Kits and I think I have found them *squeals*

And they are the....... Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Colours
 I found three shades which I think are the perfect dupes for Kylie Jenners lip colours - they are a liquid lipstick which dries to a matte finish, but with the clear balm to put on top it adds a very nice sheen and makes them very moisturising an long lasting.They aren't drying and are very comfortable and for only £10.99 they are reasonably affordable from your local drugstore. The only "problem" I guess you could say is that you don't get a lot of product, I would say only 1/3 of the packaging is the product and the rest is the brush - and within each set you get a balm - I would have preferred to have had more product for the £10.99 and then been able to buy the balm seperately (which you can actually do) instead of paying £10.99 each time and getting another balm and hardly any product.

Valentines Day

Valentines Day is a day that I personally love - it's a day that you can spoil your loved one and show them just how much you love them and there's nothing better than that. 
My Valentines Day was quite relaxed and chilled, but on the 13th I decided to book me and the boyfriend away for a night and to also see Deadpool VIP style that night because I know how much he wanted to see it. But we also done some shopping in Belfast throughout the day to kill some time before we went to Nandos and the cinema so I figured I would show you what I picked up :)



Victoria Square in Belfast was beautiful as well, it has lovely Valentines Decorations up and some mucis playing in the background which was unusual but lovely


Lee also surprised me with some gifts which I was not expecting at all as he bought me a car back in January - I'm so lucky <3



I hope you all had an amazing and happy Valentines Day

Top Winter Skincare Products

Coming into the Winter months can be quite harsh on your skin, and here in Northern Ireland, it is very cold and wet and just horrible at this time of the year - so I need products that can help reduce my dry skin, hydrate my skin and add a bit of radiance - and with these products I achieve that.


No7 Beautiful Skin Radiance Exfoliator 
 I have only been trying this product for maybe 2 weeks now maybe every other day and I really like it. Everytime I use it my skin feels so much softer and looks so much healthier adding a really like natural glow to my skin - it's also quite gentle on my skin so it doesn'y affect my sensitivity and there is little to no fragrance.
Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It
I've been using this product for a good few months now, maybe 2 or 3 just as a more intensive exfoliating treatment as compared to the No7 one - it is quite strong and almost has a tingling sensation to the skin - but I've noticed that when I do leave it on for a few minutes it really helps to clean out my pores, especially around my nose and leaves my skin feeling baby soft and clean. On the downside though, it does leave my skin feeling quite tight but once I moisturise my skin is back to normal.
No7 Beautiful Skin Hydration Mask
I've has this mask for a good few months now and it's still going strong - I really love this product, it's probably the best facial mask I've used. Its quite thick and creamy in texture and it has almost a cooling effect which really helps to tone down on my redness and it leaves my skin feeling and looking so soft, healthy and hydrated - especially coming into these winter months this is exactly what I need, I would highly recommend it!
No7 Beautiful Skin Overnight Radiance Boost
I would use this product only maybe once or twice or week, it really depends on how my skin is looking and feeling, but I would apply this before I go to bed and a few minutes after I have moisturised just to ensure that I don't layer it over and it can't be absorbed properly into my skin. I really love how this product makes my skin look in the morning - its really radiant and fresh and exactly what I need for my skin.

Favourite Winter Lipsticks

Winter is a great time to start experimenting with different lipstick colours and for me, being able to alter the look of your makeup by only changing one small aspect of it is something I really love and enjoy doing - so in this post I'm going to share with your 5 of my favourite lipsticks for Winter.

 These are my top 5 lipsticks for Winter and from left to right they are;
No7 Pillarbox Red
Revlon Va Va Violet
Rimmel Kate Moss 48
Avon Frozen Rose
Maybelline Tantalizing Taupe
These lipticks are perfect for winter as they are all, non drying and very moisturising and creamy on the lips, the pigmentation lasts all day and the wear of each is great in all weather conditions - I've never had any smudge or run in the rain or cold weather which is always good and the colours themselves are perfect for winter season.
 

What are your favourite lipstick for Winter?

Ted Baker Majestic Marvels

As I'm sure some of use may or may not know, for about the 5/6 weeks leading up to Christmas, Boots have a star gift that is on offer from Friday - and this week it is the Ted Baker Majestic Marvels gift set which originally retails for £50.00  but was on offer for £25.00 - so basically half price which is amazing and as a treat, my boyfriend decided to get it for me and it is glorious. 
The packaging itself is worthy of that £25.00 as it is stunning - with rose gold detailing it is a perfect Christmas present. 
 
Included in the gift set you get - 2 Body Wash, 2 Bubble Baths, 2 Body Lotions and a hand cream - so you are recieving a lot within this so it really is great vaue for money.
When you first open it up, there are three bundles wrapped up in gorgeous tissue paper - and it smells wonderful too - there is also a pocket on the inside of the lid which would be really handy for travelling etc. 



These are the items you recieve in the gift and they are gorgeous, the packing is the same for these but with the value of these individually compared to what to pay for the gift set along with the gorgeous box - it is definitely worth looking in to :)
