I received the Instant Glow Bronzing Rocks, the Brows That brow kit and the Long Lash mascara. 

First up I we will have a look at the bronzing rocks. I really like the packaging on these it is a really chunky Perspex base then a simple lid. It feels really sturdy!

The product itself suprised me slightly as the rocks are gold and pink which is unusual for a bronzer but it is such a lovely summery shade that is slightly shimmery but to much. It doesn't come with a brush so I used my real techniques blusher brush this worked perfect. I was able to use this as a contour under my cheekbones and it looked lovely. 

Next up is the Brows That brow kit! I tend to switch between brow products, I have been using pencils a lot at the moment so I was keen to try a different powder. 

The packaging on this is again really sleep and robust I was pleasantly suprised by the mirror that filled the entire lid. This is really useful for thinks such as eyeliner and eyebrows where I would ranger get a closer look at what i am doing. This does have a pencil for defining the brows which i like to use on the bottoms of my brows and for the tail as mine naturally have a stubby end this worked brilliantly it was just the right shade for me. I then filled in the sparse areas with the middle powder. There is a highlighting shade which I really like for under my arch of my eyebrow. This isn't shimmery which is something I would like for a evening look this is good for a daytime look. The wax which is the left one to set my unruly brows in place! This did do the trick!

There is this little handy guide included to I actually used this in a slightly different way as I like to set my brows last but depends which way works best for you. 

The final product was the Long Lash mascara

The packaging on this is really slim and compact. I like the brush it is a lot smaller than some I would normally use, I have been using the Maxfaxtor masterpiece mascara for a while now and the brush on that is huge! That been said I was still able to achieve some decent length on my eyelashes with this. It was brilliant at getting into the corners of my eyes to catch all of those smaller eyelashes and especially the bottom lashes I really love it for that. 

Hope you found my review helpful

I have had a lot better luck with these two contour kits in particular, the first been the Define and Contour Kit by Seventeen. The 2nd the Loreal Infallible Sculpt Contour Kit. I have to say how much I love both of this kits! Seventeen's is a powder kit and Loreal is a cream consistency in the UK version. Depending on what is your preference or skin type there may be a formulation that is more suited to your skin type. I would say that I have a combination skin type and I didn't have a problem with either of these.

Firstly the Seventeen Pallett:

I love the packaging for this it looks really sleek and the mirror fills the entire lid which is so useful especially for travel, it almost has a Nars feel to it which I love! I did my usual foundation/ concealer routine then used this as a final step. I used my real techniques brush and it blends out so perfectly it is really an amazing consistency it didn't look cakey. I would say i could set my makeup with this product, I don't get particularly oily skin but this product did last very well on me. They are both Matt shades so the highlighter doesn't leave you with a shimmery glow but is is brilliant down the bridge of your nose and under your eyes across  your cheekbones which was here I used it. It is perfect for hollowing out your cheekbones.

Next the Loreal Pallet:

I was excited to see this as it was a cream consistency which I have not seen so much of in drugstores. The packaging on this pallet for me doesn't look at good, I know that is not the most important thing for a beauty product but it looks cheaper and the mirror that is on the lid had actually come unstuck on the mine so was face down in the product which was not a good start! It was easy to rectify though. You do get plenty of product in this pallet I was suprised. The consistency of this product is amazing it's a cream but it's such an opaque colour and isn't greasy at all it almost drys like a powder which I found really interesting. I think it was easier to get more of a chiselled cheekbone look with the cream contour but wasn't as highlighting with it been so matt?

Overall I have loved both of these products will defiantly be repurchasing when these are out

I found it to be a brilliant moisturiser if anything a little too much as I felt sticky for quite a while after. I suffer with dry skin so this did help me a little bit but even for me was a little bit too much no matter how long I rubbed the product in for. 

I found the St Moriz gradual tanner in my local body care for only £4. I have heard great things about their tanning mousse online but I have always loved my St Tropez one so I thought I would give the moisturiser a go not expecting much to be honest, but I love this product! It goes on so well and isn't as sticky as the loreal one and the smell is fresh and not overseeing it's more of a citrus scent that I actually love. So far the colour payoff is perfect not too dark but perfect for building a gradual colour or like myself using it to maintain my tan between fake tans. It is wearing well and fading fairly well. I am exfoliating between uses as I shower and I haven't had any problems  I will continue to use this product as I think I have found a new favourite and for the price I am converted!

This was the lot I received I was so excited to try these products. Especially the mascara but since I have had chance to use these products more they are all amazing

I have been using the uplift serum most mornings around my eyes and although I am lucky enough to not have any wrinkles yet I have bags and I have seen such an improvement for that!

I also love the lipgloss its is really good quality and has some decent staying power without been too greasy! It has a mirror on the side to which isn't anything new I know but I think it is a really nice touch!

I had a little online retail therapy on River Islands's website. I was actually after the black and white leggings but as usual ended up purchasing a few more items!

I'll start with the leggings. 

 The first other item was these shots we are no where near shorts weather in "sunny" England but I like to think we are nearly heading to some warmer weather I had a pair of this in a different pattern last year to take on my holiday and I loved hem they are so comfortable, for £4 they are amazing!

 The next item again is maybe looking a little far ahead to warmer months but I have seen these in a few Primark haul videos and they looked so cute and comfy and they really are. Think I will be getting some wear out of these in the summer I don't have may light coloured dolly shoes always seem to go for black so these made a nice change these were only £6

 

I can never resist a Disney Tee from Primark I love Dory and this is so me at the moment 😘 it actually feels so soft was surprised at the quality again for Primark but their licensed items such as Disney do always seem to be nice. This was £6

I have been after I light Denim shirt for ages I saw one in topshop not long ago but was a lot more than this and I think it looks very similar. This was £8 it looks lovely worn open with one of my trusty white vests and the sleeves rolled up such a easy causual top to wear especially if it starts to get a bit warmer so inbetween a coat and bare arms!

I picked up another bikini this was only £4 for the set I wear bikinis all the time as I go swimming every week but Alway nice to stock up on these for holidays and for £4 no reason not to! 

 I have seen this top again on quite a few Primark haul videos. I was quite pleased to see it in my local Primark. The material is a sort of crepe material and it is slightly tailored around the bust which makes it for great I think it looks a lot more expensive than it was at £5 I think this is brilliant this will look really nice with some denim shorts in the summer or under a blazer for the spring. I love the scalloped edge and the little flowers cut out.

 

It's hard to show this top from photos it was a bit more pricey for Primark this was £8 but I loved the collar and the back it is a chiffon material on the back that kind of crosses over. I love tops with a collar at the moment and wearing them with a statement necklace. I may wear this for work in the summer or could dress it up for an evening did think this would be a top I would get alot of wear out of!

The next items were accessories which I can never shop in Primark without grabbing something from this section!

I needed a new pair of sunglasses I don't know what happens to mine I always loose them or they end up getting scratched in the car. Both of these come with a little protective bag which is brilliant for me hopefully they will stop getting scratched in the car door! I couldn't decide between these two but the black pair were £2 and the gold £3 so didn't feel too guilty about picking up both! 

These last couple of items are hair accessories the 6 pack I thought would look really cute when I have my hair in a high bun just to add a bit more to it. The second one fits perfectly around my ponytail it looks so pretty on and will Lucent up a boring ponytail on days when I can't do anything else with my hair!
