Scent & Co Review
I have been trying out Scent & Co this week, this is a fragrance subscription service that allows you to try out a different fragrance each month, this is a great way to try out new scents and see which ones work best for you. Without having to buy a full sized bottle
The packaging is great it comes in a sleek looking tube that is perfect for putting in your handbag
Including this little velvet pouch which keeps the bottle protected
Each month you can replace the bottle which easily fits in side. You can see which fragrance you have in there by looking at the side of the bottle. i went for Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille for my first fragrance choice. I have liked the smell of Tom Fords fragrances although I have never actually got round to purchasing one. This was a great way for me to try it out.
I do like the fragrance it lasts really well. its definitely an unusual scent and not something that I would normally go for. But i do really like it. It has been in my handbag all week and is just great for on the go top ups.
You can find more info from there website HERE, you can also get 15% off your first order with the code INSTA15

Love Me Beauty Aug 17
This months Love Me Beauty bag has been one of my favorites so far I have to say. It contains products from Kat Von D, plus produts from a brand called Buxom, which is new to the UK and has recently launched in Debenhams.
Each month the Love Me Beauty membership is worth 60 credits and you simply chose the item you want inside your box from a selection of products ranging from hair, body, nails, skincare and make-up with majority of the items being full sized or travel sized. You can now add on extra credit packages as well as the opportunity to treat yourself all month long! You can also expect to see your chosen picks inside an ever so cute make up bag to match the theme.
The first product is from Buxom, it is a travel sized lip gloss from Buxom, called their Full-on Lip Polish, in the shade Dolly. this sheer, shimmering lip polish makes lips look fuller and more voluptuous and also includes Vitamins A and E to help keep lips soft, smooth and protected, with a refreshing tingling sensation, The shade is a sheer wearable pink shiny gloss. It does have a slight tingle to it but nothing that is too over powering. I think that it did make my lips appear more full.
I like prefer sizes of perfume as they are handbag and travel friendly but it’s a great way to sample a scent before you buy the full size. I received Kat Von D sinner Eau de Parfum which form parts of the Saint and Sinner collection – saint is also available from Love Me Beauty and the sample. This perfume is described as dark, sultry, and empowering, this addictive fragrance is inspired by Kat’s own duality. A little sweet, a little spicy, and undeniably fearless! Cinnamon spices up vanilla and white florals at the heart of the fragrance, while base notes of vetiver, patchouli, and wood form the deeper, darker nuances. Experience confidence in a bottle – Sinner is the fragrant embodiment of the edgy, unapologetic, and outspoken Kat Von D we know and love!
Next up is the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in the shade Cathedral. this is a matte coco rose which is lovely and ideal for every day wear. This long-wear, pigment-rich lipstick is formulated with Color Cushion Technology to keep your pout feeling comfy and velvety soft. I found this to be creamy, easy to apply and it lasted really well.
Next was Buxom Cosmetics Lash Mascara, a vitamin enriched, clump resistant formula that deepens. darkens and thickens lashes while the hourglass shaped brush evenly coats lashes, from root to tip, for perfect separation and definition. It alsio claims to be long wearing, vitamin enriched, smudge and clump resistant. I got on really well with this mascara, the want is HUGE! but it does thicken the lashes, its just a bit hard on the corners of the eyes and bottom lashes due to the size of the wand!
Finally there was also Kat Von D Setting Powder included, which is a translucent shade and is designed to lock your base in place all day as well as bluring the appearance with a velvet-matte finish. The formula is incredibly lightweight and blurs out imperfections for a super flawless finish however, I did notice that if you layered this on too much it does make your skin look overly dry. Also, while this powder claims to be translucent and friendly for all skin tones, I found that it had somewhat of a lightening and brightening effect on my face. I guess the lesson here is a little goes a long way. I have found this to be the case with different translucent powders they just take a bit more blending!
