I received another exciting package, which definitely improved my Monday!  

It was this beautiful package from Pixi, Pixi always come up with amazing PR packages and this certainly did not disappoint! One year after the launch of the original Pixi Pretties collaborations, they partnered with several YouTube beauty influencers to launch all new products! The latest launches are in collaboration with Dulce Candy, Chloé Morello and Weylie Hoang.

I just really can't get over how pretty this package is... Or quite how big it is! I struggled to get this into one shot!

Chloe Morello

Dulce Candy

Weylie Hoang

Palette Chloette - The palette of Chloé Morello has struck me the most. Neutral eye shadows and pink blushes are quite my thing. In addition to 3 beautiful blushes, there are 3 pairs of eye shadows containing all the shimmering shades (which can also serve as highlighters) I love a multi use product! There is also a trio of matte shades for the eyebrows, linings or contours. The colors are so pretty and portable, nothing too pigmented or bright. Eye shadow are overall pretty good, I would have liked there to be some more matte, especially if they are going to be used as brow powders. But I think she did a good job making this palette a complete face that is not too cumbersome. She has also created a gloss lip gloss that is beautiful on itself or layered on other lip products.

Coffee Con Dulce - This is again a lovely palette. I love that she has designed a universal palette that works for your face and eyes. It's A really affordable price for the amount of product included.. This is ideal for all skin tones. For shades that do not work as a highlight for you specifically, they make really lovely eye shadows. It is a powder with the consistency of the cream and these are really pigmented and intense. 

Dulce's Lip Candy - Dulce has also created a palette of lips as part of her collection. These also look beautify really wearable shades and they have a lovely pigment to them. However, I am not really a fan of lipstick palettes as I feel that of all of my makeup I fell that lipstick is the item that needs to be topped up the most and its not really all that practical to be taking a palette with you day to day 

Dimensional Eye Creator Palette -  Weylie's palette is a daily palette that appeals to most of us, as it has the most lovely everyday colours. It's also the idea size if you're traveling a lot or even just throwing your purse for makeup on the go. After all, there are not too many neutral pallets. Nope! It also includes a black double-ended kohl pencil and liquid eyeliner.

I am really looking forward to getting plenty more use out of these items, I can seem them been a favorite on my vanity!

I have finally been able to get my hands on this beautiful palette from Fenty Beauty! This is the first thing that I have tried from the collection and I have to say that I am impressed!

The packaging is beautiful even the outer box is gorgeous it is a lovely purple colour with an iridescent sheen to it, such a shame to throw this away, it currently looks lovely on top of my vanity table.

The packaging of the palette itself is very colorful to say the least and it is a study plastic with a decent sized mirror on the inside which is always a bonus for me especially if i'll be taking it traveling with me!

Now for the actual shadows themselves, they are definitely very vibrant and have a lovely shimmer to them. I have read some reviews that that have too much glitter and not enough pigment but I have not found this to be the case. They are all very pigmented and leave just enough shimmer for a lovely evening look. I probably would not reach for this palette for a more subtle or daytime look but that is definitely not what this palettes is aimed at! They are nice and blendable and they stayed put all evening.

Overall I am very impressed with this palette I hope that it will encourage me to be a bit braver with my choice of colours when it comes to eye shadow, as I do have a bit of staying safe and nutural

I am looking forward to trying more from the range for sure!

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!

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

 I have been sent some lovely lip products from Pixi By Petra. I have only tried a couple of lipsticks from this brand before. I have to say that I have found them to be really good quality.

This collection contained 3 lipsticks that are in lovely wearable shades for me, and are perfect for this time of year. I like the formula they are not a matte lipstick are kind of a creamy formula, they are not glossy either, they are kind of an in between which I actually really like, as they are not as drying as a matte, and they are really comfortable to wear.

The other 3 are lip balms, these for me are perfect for this time of year, they do give you a bit of colour but not too much. They are really moisturising which is defiantly needed with this colder weather!

The packaging is really nice they have the typical green packaging from Pixi which I really like its definitely their colour

I was kindly sent over some of Bilou's range to sample out, this is a range of skincare from Germany, that is now available in the UK, and is stocked in Superdrug stores.

The Bilou range has been designed and developed by German Beauty Blogger Bibi’s Beauty Palace. All of the range is 100% Vegan and the formula is super creamy and nourishing.

These are the selection of shower foams, they all smell amazing and the packaging is really cute!

Both the shower and moisturising cream have a mousse-foam texture, great for lathering up in the shower. (plus perfect for shaving your legs) The consistency is similar to that of the Imperial Leather shower foams.

The Cream Foams, were something different for me as I had never tried a foam moisturiser before, but I was really impressed. The body cream mousse makes moisturising really easy. I’ve found that my skin still feels hydrated at the end of the day and is left with a gorgeous scent which lasts really well, and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky.

The body sprays come in equally pretty packaging, I was sent two of the scents one been Coco Cocktail and the other Fizzy Berry. They are both lovely sweet fragrances that last a really long time for a body spray.

You can find these over at Superdrug HERE
