Personalised Gifts Shop

I heard about this great website The Personalised Gift Shop, which I thought was great for those unusual gift ideas, I think that they are that little bit more special when they are personalised! They make me feel like more thought went into that present making it just for you.

They really do have some unique gifts suitable for many different occasions from Birthdays to Weddings and everything in between. I especially loved the fashion and accessories section for me personally, these really suited me. I particularly liked this mirror that you can have engraved with your initial. I thought that this looked really classic and a lovely edition to your makeup bag.

At the moment there is a lovely selection of gifts that would make perfect gifts for Valentines Day, which is creeping up on us faster than I would like! I don't know where January is going! There is also 20 % off your first order if you use the code 1ST-TIME

Pixi By Petra Glow Tonic

I received yet another beautiful package from Pixi, they really have an amazing PR team! This was packaged beautifully, in side was my own personalised bottle of their famous Glow Tonic!

The packaging itself is so pretty it came apart with this little ribbon on the top to reveal a huge bottle of Glow Tonic. Even with my name on it which defiantly made it that little bit more special.

This has to be the biggest size I have seen in this product, which is great as I really do use this pretty much daily at the moment it has really come part of my routine. This size also comes with a handy pump which will make it even easier to use. As it can be pumped straight into my cotton pads. I always love a product that comes with a pump it makes it that much easier to use and I think keeps the bottle cleaner to!!

I have already said it previous posts before how much I am in love with this product. You can see a full review on my blog. But this really does make such a difference to you skin it leaves it feeling so soft!

You can find this and more great products from Pixi here

Mai Couture Blotting Paper Review

I have been sent over some blotting paper, which is something that I used to carry around with me pretty much all the time, I'm not actually sure why I stopped, its the perfect thing to keep in your hand bag to keep your face looking fresh! These papers from Mai Couture are certainly a lot fancier than anything that I have tried in the past!

They sent me a selection of their products to try, some where what I would describe as skincare there was the Rose Hip Oil Blotting Paper and Skincare Blotting Paper Vitamins C & E, these are blotting papers that are infused with rose hip oil and the second with added Vitamins C and E all of which are great for your skin!

They also sent a Bamboo Charcoal Blotting Paper, which to is great for blemish prone skin

The next few blotting papers are makeup ones, the conveniently contains makeup actually on the paper itself, which I found to be really handy! The first 2 are blush papers: Blush Blotting Paper shade Montecito and Shade Sunset BLVD these leave a lovely flushed look to your face.

Next there was a Foundation Blotting Paper Shade Golden Glow and a Highlighter Blotting Paper Shade Crystal Cove these were also great for little on the go touch ups or added that little glow when needed!

Pixi By Petra Key to Glowing Skin

Hi its good to be back after a lovely break! I had a great Christmas spending quality time with loved ones, it has definitely flew by! I'm looking forward to plenty of exciting times that 2018 will bring!

I wanted to take a look at one of the packages that I received over the holidays, this gorgeous package from Pixi

It has the cutest little padlock to get into it which I thought was a lovely touch!

One the one side there are two of their skincare products. The Rose Cavier Essence, which is an amazing hydrating serum

• Encapsulated flower oils suspended in this weightless serum-essence melt onto the skin delivering fresh botanicals to hydrate and restore skin’s brightness for optimum radiance

• Formulated with antioxidant rich natural oils, this formula will soften, refine and tone

• For all skin types

• Not tested on animals

• Paraben free

The 2nd been thei Rose Flash Balm this is great as a moisturiser but it can also be used as a face mask. It left my skin feeling so soft!

• This radiance-boosting balm is the ultimate pick-me-up for tired, lackluster skin helping with signs of fatigue in a flash

• This 3-in-1,oil-free, quick absorbing formula instantly moisturizes and brightens and is great as a revitalizing mask as well as a primer to prep skin for perfect makeup application

• For all skin types

• Not tested on animals

• Paraben free

Finally and I think my favorite items in this package are these fabulous liquid lipsticks, they included all 5 shades in this box so I was incredibly thankful. I have been wearing liquid lipsticks more and more as I love the longevity of the wear and I am getting braver when it comes to my colour choices!

These colours are perfect for me they are all ones that I would comfortably wear as I do tend to lean towards the more pinky nude shades!

• Extremely longwearing & comfortable, infused with rosehip oil

• Quickly sets to a matte veil while leaving lips hydrated

• Colours are universally flattering and wearable

• Colour applies smoothly and uniformly in a single stroke

• Unique Pixi Petal applicator provides even and precise application

• Not tested on animals

• Paraben free

Hope you all had a lovely festive holiday to!
