I had purchased the Zoeva eyebrow product to try out and noticed that NYX have a skinny eyebrow pencil so thought maybe these could be dupes. PACKAGING (NYX): NYX comes with the plastic around it so nobody can use it but otherwise it's a normal looking eyebrow product. PACKAGING (Zoeva): Zoeva's comes in a box but otherwise the actual product looks like every other eyebrow product. CLAIMS ( NYX ): Build full beautiful brows with our ultra-thin Micro Brow Pencil. So precise, i

I had seen on social media that Zoeva has a few dupes with Morphe so thought I would try it out. I have been purchasing more and more eye brushes so let's see if these are dupes. PACKAGING (Morphe): The eyeshadow brush came in a pouch plus plastic slip packaging, I like the pouch, I probably put eyeshadow brushes in it when I travel so its more organised or put dirty ones in when I have used them on holiday. PACKAGING (Zoeva): The makeup brush comes in a plastic slip packagin

I LOVE SAND&SKY face mask, I had received a few sample tubes in Birchbox's as well as Glossybox so when I tried a sample I actually bought a full size from ASOS and have used it all up, I still get trial products so I am trying to find a cheaper alternative for it. I did a first impression on a face mask recently and thought 'Oh this reminds me of SAND&SKY' so thought I would battle them out, if you want to see that previous blog post it is called FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Revoluti

Essential Scent sell high quality fragrances made by Milton Lloyd . I have become obsessed with YSL Black Opium so when I heard Valorie No8 had similar fragrance notices I had to try it and to see for myself. PACKAGING (Valerie No8): Very simple packaging but elegant in a fun way. PACKAGING (YSL): The packaging is pretty, really beautiful booking, the box is matte where it is black, the YSL is glittery and mirrored sides. The actual bottle is beautiful. INGREDIENTS ( Valerie

I had these two in my collection and thought 'oh, are these a dupe?' so I put them to the test. PACKAGING ( Essie ): I am a bit OCD when it comes to my nail polish, I love the squared/rectangular packaging because they store easier and nicer. PACKAGING (OPI): OPI's packaging isn't bad, the bottle looks sleek and is well known as OPI. CLAIMS (Essie): Provides flawless coverage along with outstanding durability Brush fits every nail size for streak-free application Intense rich

I follow AllInTheBlush on Instagram and she put up a post with MAC Velvet Teddy dupes and I thought I would try one out, to see the post she put up click here . PACKAGING (MAC): I normally like the MAC packaging when it's all black but when I purchased Velvet Teddy from the Debenhams store in Leicester they gave me this, I don't know if it is a special edition. I like the bullet style. I like the actual lipstick bullet. PACKAGING (Rimmel): I never really like the packaging f

For years I have been using MAC Face & Body foundation but when I saw on @dupeboss Instagram post saying that NYX Total Control Drop Foundation is a dupe for MAC Face & Body. If you would like to see the post then click here . Now the shades aren't dupes, it's the actual consistency that is the dupe apparently. I did a blog post recently on the NYX foundation: FIRST IMPRESSIONS: NYX Professional Makeup Total Control Drop Foundation . PACKAGING (MAC): The MAC comes in a matte

I love Benefit They're Real mascara and saw all over social media but it's an article on Cosmopolitan: It's a face off: Luxury vs budget mascaras that was written back in 2016 when Benefit was cheaper, so if W7 have a dupe for Benefit then I will swap it over and get a cheaper alternative. PACKAGING ( Benefit ): The packaging is plastic however I am not sure if the hand is metal, it feels better than the W7. PACKAGING (W7): W7 feels cheaper than the Benefit one but looks ver

Second box for the year and it's From Birchbox With Love X. This month we are treated to an extra product so normally we should have five products but this month we have six.

I work with an amazing woman called Maine who has really made me feel welcomed and part of the team since I started, we have had some good chats, been to Hull Fair together and danced at the Christmas party so to hear that Maine was leaving was sad, I know it is what she wants, she can progress in her new job and it's a job where she is going to work with friends of ours so we decided to go to her hometown of Hull on a night out. Hair My natural hair is thick and slightly wav

First box of the year and it's a collaboration with Rochelle Humes, if you don't know who she is, she was in the band The Saturday's but also is one of the presenters on M&S Food's YouTube channel. The Box The box is a drawer, I am so confused because when I used to have Birchbox it would come in a box then a drawer, I don't know if they have changed but let's see. I am going to do a blog post at the end of the year showing all the packaging of 2020 for Birchbox and see which

I always give myself a little pamper on a Sunday, it's a time for me to rewind and treat my skin a little better, this is also when I try new face masks for my blog as well as other products. So I have wrote down my normal step by step routine however there was a few changes the week I took the photos so at the end I will do a quick run through on what did happen. Candle I always start off by lighting a candle and of course I using my own range of candles, so if you didn't kn

I used to get Birchbox subscription every month but stopped, I saw there was an offer on their website and resigned up. The Box AKA bag, this month the theme is Ready, Set, Glam, embracing the glitz and glamour of Christmas. There is a blue pouch with rose gold glitter star on the front and rose gold zipper. There isn't a box or drawer this month but this amazing pouch. Baïja French Pompon Rose Lychee Body Cream This is a creamy, delicate and oh-so-smooth body cream that has

I did this last year and thought I would share this years routine as life has changed a lot, I now get up at 5:30am to get to work so I use less steps now. I have suffered a bit of a breakout so my skin doesn't look the best. Cleanse: Sanctuary Spa Foaming Micellar Cleansing Water I know my face is pretty clean when I go to bed but I love to quickly clean my face. Toner: Liz Earle Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic Spritzer My face gets a little red when I wash it or cleanse it so I

I love being nosy in other people collection now before we start most of this makeup I have purchased myself with my money, they were either gifted by family and friends for special occasions like birthdays and Christmas and then there is some that I have swapped with my sister. The drawers are from IKEA called MOPPE, they sell skinnier versions now but these aren't available anymore. Drawer Set #1 - Top Left Drawer I haven't shown you this drawer because it's just face masks

I shared the daily evening skincare routine last year and thought I would share this years, I have changed a few things and use a few different products but just to let you know these are my favourites at the moment, I am always trying new products out. Before you read this just remember I am not a specialist, this works for me and I know people will think it's wrong but like I say it works for me and it may work for yourself. Cleanse: Sanctuary Spa Foaming Micellar Cleansing

I thought I would share what I wore for my Christmas works do now I some how forgot to take a photo of my actual makeup, I think it was because I was having too much of a good time. Now we went to play a round of mini crazy golf at Junkyard Golf Club then drinks and dancing at Revolution around the corner.
