Unicorns Heart Rainbow Highlighter

As soon as I saw that I Heart Makeup had a rainbow highlighter, I ordered it straight away, and I will admit, mainly because it looked so pretty and the packaging was cute, I wasn't really thinking about how it was going to work on my skin. I was slightly worried as the rainbow highlighters I have seen scattered about Instagram recently are really pigmented, and really noticeable on the skin, and whilst it looked really cool, it was not ideal for me on a daily basis! 

This heart shaped, rainbow highlighter however is a lot more iridescent and pastel on the skin, but it is still quite pigmented and can be easily built up for a more intense colour. When I swipe my brush in the pan and transfer it to my skin it gives an iridescent glow which I have loved wearing on a daily basis but when swiped with a fan brush it shows all five shades lined up together. According to I Heart Makeup, the product was 'made by real unicorns'! 

This is perfect for achieving the soft, rainbow shimmer that is all the rave right now!

Regenerate Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste

I love trying out different products for my teeth. I had never heard of regenerate enamel science before and once doing some research I decided that this company was one that I definitely wanted to give a try. I am lucky enough to have pretty healthy, straight teeth, and I have never had a brace before having not needed one, so I like to try my best to keep my teeth healthy and clean. 

Advanced Toothpaste
This clinically proven toothpaste is aimed to protect and strengthen your teeth against cavities, reversing the early erosion process as well as restoring the original whiteness of your teeth. With regular use, twice a day in place of your current toothpaste, over time enamel is regenerated by restoring its mineral content and micro hardness. With 75ml and 105g in a tube worth £10, pricey compared to other regular toothpastes, I did feel a difference after the first use. I am however a regular tea and coffee drinker and so I did not really notice a huge difference in the whiteness of my teeth, but they do feel cleaner after using this toothpaste compared to others. The only issue I have is the price, however where results are wanted sometimes price has to be overlooked,  my teeth are stronger and far less sensitive too since using this. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Advanced Enamel Serum
This has the same effects as the toothpaste but is a gel and serum kit, used for three minutes, of three days, once a month. The kit contains a serum, activator gel and two mouth trays which are used to release a concentrated mineral boost to integrate onto your teeth and compliments the use of the toothpaste by boosting it's effectiveness. This looked a little strange to me at first, and the first few uses also felt odd, but after using it for a few months now, it is just a little extra part of my evening routine that makes a difference to my teeth and is therefore worthwhile. Along with the toothpaste this kit leaves my teeth feeling clean and particularly when using this, my teeth appeared brighter. 


If you are looking for a new product to try out and don't mind spending a little bit extra then this is worth a try! 

Apps For Great Quality Photos

I think it is very important when running a blog, or growing your Instagram following, that your photos are of high quality, and many a time, this is achieved through photo editing which many apps provide the tools for. I get a few people asking me about what I use to edit my photos often and so thought it would be a good idea to share the apps I use on a daily basis. 

• Afterlight - The first thing I do after taking a photo is edit it in this app. I usually brighten the photo, add some contrast and then apply a border to fit into the layout of my Instagram account. This app has so many filters and options conveniently categorised so it's easy to use. 
• Picfx - This is similar to Afterlight as it also has many choices and options when altering your photos. This app is also great for adding a vintage feel to your photos. 
• Studio - This app is great for adding text or layers to your photos as well as graphics to really enhance your photos and make them look professional. 
• VSCOcam - This is a great alternative to Afterlight with some great options for editing and adding filters. 
• Facetune - This app is perfect for your selfies! You can touch up your face on bad skin days, or use it to cover up any spots or dark areas. 

Are there any other apps that you use to edit your photos?

Bath/Shower Products Storage

In no way is this an innovative or creative idea. I have seen may photos across blogs, Tumblr and Instagram of people's organisational skills when it comes to storing their bath and shower products and accessories where I got inspiration for how to store mine. 

Here are a few pictures of how I store mine. :) 

 

I'd love to see how you organise yours!

Halloween 2014

My best friend - http://thesecreationsbybeth.blogspot.co.uk/ and I decided to dress up as Disney Villains this year and we had a great time! I really enjoyed finding my outfit and looking up make-up ideas for the Queen of Hearts. Here are some of our photos from the night!

    

 The quality isn't all that great as these are only iPhone photos! Hope you all had a great Halloween :)

Hello! Hope you're all well. :) 

I recently treated myself to this gorgeous silver Swarovski crystal necklace from Black Tied and I am in love! Since it arrived I have not taken it off! (Apart from showering/sleeping of course!) 

 

The website has some amazing pieces of jewellery, not just necklaces, that are simply stunning, and completely worth the money. I don't believe these photos do the necklace justice, but I cannot rave about it enough. What makes me adore this necklace even more is the fact that it's handmade, and to me sits at the perfect length of 18 inches.

The company provided a quick and easy transaction and delivery (always a good thing!) and I will definitely be treating myself to more purchases from Black Tied in the future.
