Win a custom designed Handbag with Cooper & Hill


Do you ever sit and wish you could design your own handbag and be the next Victoria Beckham? Well Cooper & Hill give you the chance to do just that. With 25 years of experience manufacturing premium luxury bags for the high-end market, new fashion brand Cooper & Hill are taking bespoke bags to a new level. Cooper & Hill makes luxury bags more affordable by bridging the gap between manufacturer and consumer.

Whether you need more pockets, more zips, less studs but more slots for your loyalty cards, with Cooper & Hill you can sketch your dream bag from start to finish and then watch them bring it to life.



If I could design my own perfect bag, I would want a main zipped pocket inside the bag for my personal belongings, somewhere for my iPhone and also something big enough for my iPad which I carry around within its own case.  I am a big fan of handbags which can be carried or be cross-body bags and to that end, the straps would need to be good but also comfortable and not dig into my skin. 

With the help of @FemaleBloggerRT, the ORIGINAL retweet community for bloggers, Cooper & Hill is giving away a Bespoke bag, which is your very own custom bag designed by you!

Use the widget below to enter the giveaway. Contest open to UK residents and ends June 30.

Nip + Fab Skin Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask

Nip + Fab Skin Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask is described as being an intensely hydrating gel mask combining multiple skin perfecting complexes to plump the look of wrinkles + refine the skin's appearance for a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion. Well this is something I am definitely in need of and I couldn't wait to give it a go.

My fascination with products that are a little kooky is really taken to the limit with this Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask. Naturally it doesn't contain any dragon's blood but it does have an ingredient which is created from the resin of the Croton Lechleri Tree which is also known as the ‘Dragon’ Tree. The resin in question is red hence the term Dragon's Blood and it forms protective film on skin to protect against environmental aggressors. Add to that the use of Salicylic acid to cleanses pores +and aid exfoliation, Hyaluronic acid an ingredient my skin absolutely loves to help hydrate and refine the skins texture,Glycerin which draws water to outer layer of the skin keeping it moisturised whilst helping to restore skin suppleness and finally TEGO Cosmo C 250 which brightens skin and fades age spots.

To use the mask, Nip + Fab recommend that you apply a thick layer to the skin and leave for ten minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. If you need something a little more intense for your skin, you can or you can leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning.  Once it has been applied to the skin the mask itself is quite a wet formula, so it is easy to apply and it doesn't feel at all sticky, it also disappears and absorbs itself into the skin, so that when you come to rinse your skin, there is very little product left.  Once on the skin, it has quite a soothing effect, especially if like me, you pop it into the fridge for an hour before using.  As you count down those ten minutes, you can feel the mask tightening the skin and really getting down to work.  After washing off the skin, the effects are immediate.  Soft smooth and incredibly moisturised skin which looks plump and radiant, not to mention clean.  

My skin has been really suffering from being quite dehydrated recently and this mask has been an absolute dream to use, so much so, even the Mr has taken to giving it ago because I have raved about it so much.

If you haven't tried this Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask then it is something I would really recommend.  It is available from a range of stores both online and on the highstreet and retails for around £14.95 for 50ml.
