50 Shades of Grey Valentines with Superdrug

Superdrug have gone all out for Valentines Day with their 50 Shades of Grey gift section. There is something for everyone, so whether you are wild and extroverted between the sheets or a little more reserved this range urges you not to be shy! Taking inspiration from the book, the 50 Shades collection is everything you imagined it to be and more from Grey feather ticklers, blindfolds and even a few more naughty items, it is worth having a look.

Amongst all of the items available, there were three that really caught my eye, well actually a lot more than three, but as this is a family friendly blog, I am sticking to these three products to share with you.

The first is Fifty Shades of Grey Sensual Touch Massage Oil.  Described as being a rich and indulgent.  A sweet sensation is a sensual bath oil infused with bergamot, sandalwood and musk which if you are a fan of the novels like me, you will know is Christian's signature scent.  It combines a skin-softening formula complemented by sunflower and jojoba oil to offer a luxurious and skin-nourishing bath time treat.





Fifty Shades Of Grey Massage Me Candle - "Light your Fifty Shades of Grey candle to fill the air with Christian Grey's intoxicating scent and set the scene for a night of sensual caresses" is the description and it is enriched with coconut oil and jojoba which to me sounds just amazing.  It can be used as  Massage Me can be used as both an aromatic candle or a massage oil.   It is said to be rich, indulgent and moisturising, leaving your skin feeling nourished and smelling quite delicious. I like the idea of using it as a massage oil and to use that you simply spoon the warm melted wax onto the skin and massage using your hands.

You can't really have a collection like this without something so well-known from the books can you? So here is the Fifty Shades Of Grey Christians Tie.  Again the description is "let the fantasy become a reality with Christian Grey's Tie" and if you have read the books, you will know why of its importance.  This tie is made from luxurious silver and grey quilting, it's a soft and versatile accessory that can be enjoyed both in and out of the bedroom!

So there you have it, if you are not going out to see the film, you can create your own Fifty Shades moments in your own bedroom!

GOSH SS15 Collection

Last week, I was invited along to the GOSH Cosmetics SS15 Collection preview which is released today, Wednesday 11th February. I am a huge fan of GOSH, some of their products are just amazing, Prime 'n' Set for example is just a brilliant setting powder which was released almost a year ago.  So, this is what GOSH have to offer you with their new releases.

Primer Plus+ Hydration - This is a brand new hydrating primer with uses Snow Algae to safeguard and protect the skin cells and it also acts as an anti-ageing ingredient which is traditionally found in snowy alpine regions and it is an ingredient I am beginning to hear more and more about, so I am guessing it is going to be pretty important. This primer also gives skin cells a new lease of life and blurs out imperfections and preps the skin for smooth make up application and that flawless porcelain-perfect skin. RRP. £13.99

GOSH Nail Lacquers - Available in seven new shades, all on-trend with a nice mix of nudes, pastels and a couple of bolder tones.  The shades shown below from left to right are Sea Foam, Snow White, Apple Bloom and French Dream. They have a brand new wide brush which makes for an easier application and the formula is fast drying to ensure you get that flawless, high shine manicure. RRP. £3.99.



No Limit Mascara - I absolutely love mascara and am always excited to try something new.  This mascara from GOSH is designed to add extra dimension and drama to your lashes.  It has what is referred to as a soft vortex brush with reservoir bristles which ensures you not only get a lot of volume but it also adds length. Similarly to other products on the market, on one side you will see that there are some slightly shorter bristles and these are good for capturing the smaller inner and bottom lashes. This mascara is both Perfume and paraben-free formula plus smudge-proof. RRP £7.49.

Forever Lipshine - Now these are amazing products, whenever there is a new GOSH launch, there is always one product which stands out and for me it is these.  I love lip pencils and crayons and have amassed quite a collection, but I am chuffed to be adding these.  Available in 10 shades, there is something for everyone.  Designed as a twist up lipstick, the colour is applied to your lips in just one stroke and they are are really nice rich pigment not to mention incredible smooth when applied.   I was lucky enough to be given five of these amazing products, shown below with swatches. RRP £6.99.

Swatched Left to right show Fluffy Feeling, My Valentine, Magic Monday, Spring Fling, Sweet moments

Eyelight Trio - There are 4 different eyelight trio shadows in this launch and they all containing one highlighter shade to light up the eye, one glitter shade to give a great colour intensity and one satin shade to add depth and contour. These 3 different textures allow for creating that perfect smokey eye. The trio palettes shown below are Vanilla Sky and Fairytale. RRP £6.99.

Xtreme Liquid Gel eyeliner - These are really quite exciting products from GOSH and even though I haven't yet quite got the hang of liquid liner, I couldn't wait to swatch them. The waterproof gel formula is perfume and paraben free, dries instantly and is both smudge resistant and waterproof! They are also available in an array of amazign shades, 9 in total and here they are with swatches.  RRP. £5.99.

From left to right - Silver, Royal Blue, Turquoise, Lavender, Bronze and Gun Metal

From Left to right - Black Night, Bronze and Black

This is such a brilliant launch from GOSH, there is more than something for everyone and everything is so pocket friendly priced that it is worth buying some of the products to try them out.  

Are you a GOSH Fan? Do any of these products take your fancy?

You Beauty Discovery Box February 2015

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know that I am a huge fan of You Beauty Discovery Boxes because they are not only amazing value for money but the actual concept is brilliant.  Most of us love Beauty Boxes and subscribe to them, most of the time not knowing what an earth you might find.  With You Beauty Discovery, every month you get a menu to choose from and then you also get one or two treats as well.

This month the list to choose from was again amazing and I was chuffed to find two products listed that I have wanted to try for some time and this is my box:

Every month within the box, which cleverly fits through your letterbox, is a little magazine to read and it is one I always read cover to cover.  This month we are told that the products we have had to choose from are for the Red Carpet, which is interesting as I was expecting a Valentines Pamper box theme, so it is nice to get something which is both unexpected and great at the same time.

The freebies or little treats this month are ones I really like too and they are and as you can see there was a mini box of Lindt chocolate (now eaten) and a sample of Bare Minerals Bareskin foundation.  I have never used anything from Bare Minerals, so I would I have liked a bigger sample to use so that I could have properly tried it.

The products that I actually chose this month was again a tough choice as there was quite a few that I loved the sound of and this month I had never tried any of the products in the box!  So I chose:

INFUSED Coconut Body Scrub which comes inside this beautiful gold 100g sachet, which is huge and packed full. It is described as a product which incorporates a natural blend of Robusta Seed Coffee and brown sugar that help to eliminate dead skin cells and impurities such as stretch marks, and dry skin.

It's natural oil base is enriched with coconut oil and healing clays that help to maintain moisture whilst removing impurities from the body.  A 200g sachet retails for £18.99 so this being half that size is worth around £9.50 which I think is a really generous offering and a review is coming soon.

Kiss The Moon Love - After Dark Bath Oil.  This is a little 3g vial of the product which is described as follows - A 100% natural beauty oils to help you prepare for a good night's rest, nourishing your skin and soul whilst you sleep.

This oil is made from a blend of coconut oil, combined with a generous helping of nutrient rich jojoba oil and white tea seed oil to leave the skin smooth and well-nourished.  To use, you simply squeeze two full pipettes into a still, deep, warm bath, or in this case 3-4 drops from the vial. For a more intense experience, massage lightly into skin before stepping in to the bath. Take three slow breaths and relax. Step out lightly moisturised from top to toe and ready for a perfect night’s sleep.

I have seen Kiss The Moon popping up all over my Instagram and Twitter timelines so curiosity has got the better of me.  To me, this oil sounds absolutely divine and I cannot wait to give it a try.  A 100ml bottle retails for £38 and my sample is worth about £1.15.

Now this box cost just £6.95 and look at the contents, isn't that just great value for money? I think so and I would love to know if you also subscribe and what you chose from the list!
