Love Me Beauty

I have recently found Love Me Beauty, which is a subscription box, but it is a little different, you get 60 credits each month so spend on items from the collection each month that you want to try.

You can become a member and receive 60 credits for you to hand-pick products from the monthly edit. The subscription is £10 per month plus £3.95 p&p, you can save money if you do a longer subscription e.g. 3 months is £9 per month 6 months is £8.

Each months choice also comes in a lovely makeup bag, which I always find handy, I also love how cute they are!

This month I was sent 4 items:

NUXE

Huile Prodigieuse Gold 10ml

NUXE

Reve de Miel Cleanser 15ml

NUXE

Gentle Exfoliating Gel with Rose Petals 15ml

Manna Kadar Beauty

LipLock Stain in the shade Poppy Pink 1.5g

I love the colour of this lip stain, it does dry matte and stays on extremely well, its not as drying as some other matte lip stains I have tried in the past. I think this is a great summery shade.

I already have the original Nuxe oil which I really love, it as some many uses and the smell is amazing. This version has some shimmer in it which is great for summer. I used this last weekend as I braved a skirt and got my legs out! It did add a lovely shimmer.

The cleanser and the exfoliater from Nuxe are also lovely, they are both a great constancy and have left my skin feeling really fresh! I'm looking forward to trying more from Nuxe's range

You can get yours HERE, I also have a discount code for 20% off your first order just use the code emmajade20

Esqido Lashes

I was lucky enough to receive these gorgeous lashes from Esquido. First off i need to talk about the packaging is absolutely beautiful the box really has such a lovely high end feel to it there is a card sleeve then the box has a magnetic flap to reveal the gold inside the box. This box is great for re-using the lashes they easily go back into the box, I have had a few wears out of these lashes so far and they are still going strong! It claims that they can be used up to 25 times which is way more than other lashes I have tried. The glue comes in its own seperate box. It is a large tube that holds a considerable amount of product.

The lashes are made from Mink I have found these to be the softest type of lashes that I have tried, and I have tried a few! They are much more comfortable to wear, and they bend to the curve of you eye better meaning that you do not get that annoying end of the lash sticking up!

The Mink is ethically sourced which means that though they are made from real mink fur it is collected from natural shredding of the animal, meaning that no animals are harmed in the making of these lashes.

They retail at between $34 and $42 which does sound pricey for a pair of lashes but when you consider that you can get 25 uses out of these it isn't bad at all.

Outfit of the day!!

It was another cold day again to... There's a surprise. Today I was running errands, going out to lunch and to a 4 year olds birthday party so needed something warm and comfortable

My boots were from misguided I had these around Christians time. They are actually really comfortable. They do come up big but this is actually a good thing for me as it means I can layer up the socks!! My wet look leggings are from Dorothy Perkins I have had these for a while but it's not something that I tend to wear alot but I think it breaks it up with the over the knee boots. By jumper I found in Primark and I love it. It's such a nice fit and th material is really soft.

I curled my hair using my ghd v staighteners. This is actually 2nd day hair it was curly the eve before so just had to touch it up this morning. I think it actually holds better 2nd day it's not so slippy

Hope you all had a lovely weekend

Lip care and longer lasting lipstick 👄

I am useless when it comes to lipstick, especially in the winter! I always seem to have chapped lips dispite carrying a bag full of different chopsticks and lip balms so finding any way of making my lipstick last a little bit longer is always welcomed. Obviously if all I am going to do all day is lick my lips not a lot will help but here are a few useful tips:

I put on a lip balm every eve before I go to bed it has just become part of my night time routine. I do have a blistex intensive relief for when my lips are really bad, this does really work I can't recommend it enough although it does will feel a bit strange when it first goes on as has a minty taste which feels cold but it is really soothing. If not I just use my Nivea lip balm

Another tip is to use a dry toothbrush in general circular motion to remove any dead skin from your lips, just make sure that you do this really gently you don't want to make your lips sore

Before I put on any lip colour I normally put some balm on the lips first then start with a lip liner and slightly over line the lips but not too much as this can look very scary very quickly!! Then put in your favourite lipstick blotting and excess with a piece of tissue paper. You can then add some translucent powder over the top finished with another layer of your lipstick

So find this lasts the longest for me. Even with these really cold days at the moment

Hope that helps you

Quick Makeup Brush Guide

I have collected so many makeup brushes over the years, and there are so many available it can be confusing as to what should be used for what.

I find that especially with eyeshadow brushes rhe best way is to experiment with different sizes to see which works best for you. For example I find bigger brushes better for blending but not for applying product as it normally ends up everywhere except for where I want it!

This is just a quick reference quite that you may find useful
