The end of an era

I am devastated that ELF (Eyes Lips and Face cosmetics) is no longer going to be distributing there products anymore. I don't know for definite if it is the last we will ever see of ELF but I thought I would take advantage of their sale.

Now, I've been looking at this palette for a loooooooooooong time. I wasn't however willing to spend £20 on it! But in an amazing up to 70% sale, which is still going on by the way, I picked up the 50 piece make up artist palette.

5 blushers
5 bronzers
40 eyeshadows

I. Cant. Even.



They are all so so stunning and so worth the £10 I paid for it.

The pigmentation of the blushers is insane, the bronzers are gorgeous for an all over glow, I wouldn't recommend them as a contour bronzer though due to the shimmer in them. The eyeshadows come in some of the craziest colours that I wouldn't even think of buying on their own.

I'm really looking forward to trying out some different eye looks and experimenting a bit more with my blushers and bronzers.



Don't forget to have a look on ELF for any remaining products, unfortunately this palette is no longer available but there are quite a lot of things left!

Thanks for reading! xxx

New Beauty Box

I haven't been into beauty boxes really, but this one did catch my eye.



The Love Me Beauty box is a monthly subscription box where you are given credits to choose what you want to get. After taking a short test about products you want, skin type etc you are taken to your own personal boutique, where products have been selected based on your needs.

Even if you use all your credits up you still have the option to buy the remaining products if you want at a very discounted price.

In my boutique i had a selection of nails inc nail varnishes, body creams and lipsticks from a variety of brands.




In my box I chose a Popband London hair tie, one of those small elastic hair bobbles that doesn't kink your. Not much to say really just a hair tie!

I've been really into face scrubs recently and skin care so i chose a perfecting face polish from Organic Surge. it is suitable for sensitive skin which I do suffer from on my face and body so hopefully this isn't so harsh! It smells absolutely incredible as it contains pure rosemary and lemon oil. perfect size for travelling, 30ml sample sizes are my favourite.

Last but not least I got 2 Lorde and Berry lipsticks. I have never tried anything from this brand but I was so exited to try them. I chose Brick Lip and Smooth Beige. Brick Lip is an amazing brownish nude colour (which I have been obsessed with recently.) I am however very disappointed with Smooth Beige, it is grey. Theres no way to go about it but it looks very grey on my lips.



For £10 a month plus postage I would definitely consider getting this box again. I love the idea of a personalised tailored to you service. Are there any other beauty boxes that are worth having a look at? Let me know in the comments!
