Kiko Milano Neo Noir Limited Edition

I absolutely love Kiko Cosmetics and whenever I am within the vicinity of a store, be it Oxford Circus or Covent Garden, you can guarantee I am not walking past without going inside. One thing Kiko do well is collections and within those collections is usually a lipstick and this collection is just stunning.

Meet Neo Noir, a collection which is described as having well-defined corners with fluid, geometric shapes. A noir atmosphere in which white contrasts with black. The collection’s packaging is the work of the futuristic designer Ross Lovegrove. The silhouettes evoke modern, sensual extravagance. The details recall an opulent stage curtain that opens, revealing KIKONESS at center stage: the essence of elegance, sensuality, femininity, breeziness and ease. 

Within the range you will find everything from Highlighters and eyeliners to lipsticks and nail polishes in an array of shades, so there is something for everyone.

Design Flower Enriched Highlighter (£12.90) - This is a creamy highlighter with petal extracts which help to create targeted points of light. Two different shades are combined in a single product and you can use the colours alone or mix them together. The texture is really fine and creamy an it glides onto the skin effortlessly. It is also delicately perfumed with Japanese rose.

The packaging features a luminous black matte finish and an internal mirror. The compact’s external design recalls an opulent stage curtain that opens, allowing the KK logo to take the spotlight as the star of KIKONESS which is such an amazing description and the case is just stunning, not too heavy but easy to grasp and fit into your handbag.

Max Mod Mascara (£11.90) - I am a total mascara fiend and it is the one item I never leave the house without wearing. This mascara features a small brush which is designed to give maximum volume effect and definition.  The brush has slanted, elastomer bristles which allow you to reach and coat every single lash, even those really tiny ones in the corner of your eyes. The texture of the mascara is quite smooth and supple, it doesn't clump or clog and it is buildable and easy to distribute along the entire length of the lashes.

Again with the packaging, there is the luminious black matte finish and again, the lid with the KK logo recalls an opulent stage curtain that opens, allowing KIKONESS to take the spotlight as with the Highlighter.

Enigma Lip Liner (£5.90) - This long-lasting lip pencil is designed to give a vivid colour payoff as well as to emphasize the lip colour. The lip pencil colour is really pigmented and glides onto the lips effortlessly and blends like an absolute dream.  It is availble in 8 shades and is made to match the Enigma Lipstick colours.

Enigma Lipstick (11.90) - Now this is one stunning lipstick and I adore it and the shade. Described as being a volume effect lipstick, it gives amazing colour payoff that is bold and shiny.  The formula contains oil extracted from passion fruit and a mix of waxes and shiny oils to provide a long-lasting radiant and flawless finish.

The packaging is also stunning and fits into the range with a case which is luminous black matte finish. The cap again, as with other products within the Neo Noir range, recalls an opulent stage curtain that opens, allowing KIKONESS to take the spotlight.

This is such a beautiful collection from the packaging to the detail of each individual item, yet again, for me, Kiko pulls off a fantastic collection. You can find all the latest collections here from Kiko.

Save Money buying your wishlist!

Like most beauty bloggers I have a wishlist of products I want to try that gets longer rather than shorter and on that list is everything from eye cream and hair masks to lipsticks and cushion foundations. Whenever I see something new I quite like or have read another blog post about a product I think I will like, I save it to a list which is stored on my laptop so I don't forget about it.

I like to think I am quite a savvy when it comes to finding the best prices and do use one or two sites to try and find the best value for money, be it free delivery, 10% off or even a £10 spend off a £50 order. Sometimes just one quick search can save you money. 

Sites such as  Ministry of Deals are incredibly helpful, it lists codes from all different kinds of sources, even those that conventional discount websites do not check such as social media sites including Facebook & Twitter, newsletters from the retailers direct, plus many more. On the left hand side there is always a column to alert you t the most recent discounts and then with a big search bar, you can enter the site that you wish to purchase items from, whether that is Debenhams, Tesco or even Space NK it will search for you and bring about the latest discounts.  

What I also like is that even if there are no discounts at that time, there might very well be a timely reminder that there are other offers available such as 25% extra with a flower order (this has been very useful of late), free delivery on a certain day or that there is a clearance sale on and I had missed it. You can also search for items based on their category to cut down the number of items which might come through with or without a discount.

I use this site quite a lot and it is bookmarked as one of my favourite sites, it is easy to use without being flashy and with a billion pop-ups coming in from everywhere. There are no fancy graphics and hidden links which take you on a tour of the internet, essentially what you see is what you get and then some. It loads quickly and if you find the item you are looking for, it will take directly to the item, regardless of which store it is for sale on or in. It is stress free, hassle free bargain hunting on one screen!

Do you use money saving sites?

Fabled by Marie Claire

A few weeks ago I was luck enough to attend the launch party of Fabled by Marie Claire, a store that is so exciting, I just wanted to run around and touch everything, think of a child's reaction in Toy R Us, well that was me in Fabled. Why is it called Fabled? Well put simply Fables are stories that have withstood the test of time and been passed from generation to generation. Marie Claire has 27 years’ experience in telling great beauty stories and Fabled is here to inspire, educate and advise you. 

A stunning store which can be found on Tottenham Court Road here in London, inside is a store, filled with so many amazing brands you dont quite know where to start. Full to the brim with amazing brands such as Benefit, Urban Decay Bare Minerals, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Living Proof, NARS, Estee Lauder, Lipstick Queen,Foreo, GHD, Tom Ford and YSL to name just a few. But you don't have to worry if you don't live here in London, because you can order online and have items delivered to you and even better than that, items are delivered to suit you. So just like you order your food shopping online, you choose a time to suit you, Fabled has the exact same process and it is just so easy to use.

One of my favourite parts about the site and instore is the Marie Claire Edit which shows you the latest looks, trends, techniques and has articles on insider knowledge, all of which has been selected by Beauty Experts and curated by Marie Claire. So if you want some advice on a new concealer or want to read all about Urban Decay and their Vice lipsticks, you will find it all here and it is such a great read.

I was kindly gifted with a voucher code to test out how good the online service was and was able to pick a few products of my choice.  I think I could quite happily fill my basket ten times over I was so undecided as to what it was I really wanted to try and thankfully I do always have a wishlist saved to my computer which is usually for other peoples benefit, this time it was for mine. Emma Hardie is a brand I don't know that such about other than a few sample sachets I have had, so that was my first choice and this Amazing Face Starter Kit which was only £25 and an absolute bargain. I am constantly told by other blogger friends I need to try the Moringa Cleansing Balm (50ml) because it is so good, well now I can and this kit also comes with an accompanying Professional Dual-Action Cleansing Cloth, Age Support Face Cream (15ml) and it is nestled inside an Emma Hardie pouch which is a nice little extra. 

Next I was drawn to lipsticks, I can't help it, I am obsessed with them and this time decided to go for a brand I haven't tried before but this particular lipstick caught my attention at the launch party and it is Lancôme Rouge In Love Lipstick and it is 379n Rose Sulfureuse and it is just stunning. 

The final item again is something I am obsessed with it and that is Facemasks and I went for The Skin Lounge Deep Hydrating Single Cellulose Mask which isf ormulated with hyaluronic acid, trehalose and natural extracts of aloe vera and hamamelis virginiana, this mask acts as a powerful antioxidant and water retainer, hydrating the skin and protecting it from the exposure to harsh and changing environments. Your skin will look smoother and hydrated.

Products at Fabled are clearly labelled on the homepage to make them easier to locate and bandied under heading such as skincare, makeup, hands, feet & nails, bath & body, haircare, fragrance, wellness, men's add gifts.  Those categories are then broken down further to help with your search and the item you wish to find.  The other option is to search for the item directly or you can browse through the brands available to you.  What I found was a site which loads incredibly quickly and is set out so everything you need to know about the product, including what its purpose is and how much it costs, is all laid in front of you.

So with a basket brimming with products I couldn't wait to receive them. I quickly made an account filling in my name, address and usual information that is required and was then taken to the time slot page to choose the slot which was best for me.  Again these slots are one hour time slots and like your shopping, you select it, decide where your package is to be delivered and wait for it to arrive.  The day your package is to arrive, I was sent a text which served as a reminder and it also gave me the name of the driver - Gary in my case and he was due to arrived between 10am and 11am and details of the delivery van.  Gary is clearly a punctual fellow as he was right on the dot of 10am, super polite and told me to enjoy my package and have a nice day, a little touch which made me smile.  

For me Fabled is a website that a delight to use, easy to navigate around and makes my wishlist grow my the second.  It is as informative as it is easy to use and given it ha articles that help you form opinions and get advice, it is more than worth a look and to encourage you to do so, I have a Voucher code for you lovely lot which entitles you to 15% off and it doesn't expire until 26/10/2016 and all you need to do is use VOU386121199 at the checkout stage. Happy Shopping!

MyPurrfect Gift Box - September Tea Box

If you love cats and love tea, then this is the box for you, it is just absolutely superb! For those of you who have not heard of My Purrfect Gift Box before, the idea came from. Kim and Juan Kniveton the founders of My Purrfect Gift Box are dedicated cat lovers, so much so they moved back from the USA to the Isle of Man to set up and run their own idyllic countryside retreat for cats - Boodee Beg Boarding Cattery, something I dream of doing (if I ever win the lottery). With their onsite gift shop not doing as well as they had hoped, Kim and Juan decided to start My Purffect Box and each month they choose to focus on a different cat charity, rescue centre or shelter and highlight the work they do through their social media sites and through information that comes in each box. They then donate 5% of all our profits from that month's box to that chosen charity of the month.

This months theme is tea. September signals the start of Autumn which means the jumpers come out, it is time to get cosy and spend quality time together - with tea! Inside this box is everything you need to create that amazing brew we Brits love and even share a few treat with the cats too!

The first thing you need when making a brew is a mug and the first item from this months box is a 'You're my Cup of Tea' cat face mug which is incredibly cute and can be bought from the online shop for just £11.99, the perfect give got tea loving crazy cat ladies like me.

Whenever you have a stringed tea bag in your cup, a tea bag holder has to be a genius invention because without one, I always end up losing the string into the brew and then spend a while digging it out with a spoon. Let me show you the cutest cat tea bag holders which you can find from MiniHandsCrafts which is another store on Etsy. These lovely Cat Teabag Holders are handsculpted and handpainted and are made using the high-quality polymer clay which is water-resistant. They are priced at £7.85.

You also need tea bags when it comes to making that perfect brew and within the box there are some cute cat shaped tea bags which you can find from LoJim right here on Etsy. I have Saffron flavoured tea which I have never tried before, so I am looking forward to giving it a try. I love that these tea bags are hand sewn and they cost £4.45.

One of my favourite scents is Jasmine and inside this box is a beautifully package wax melt in the shape of a cat paw. These melts are hand made using only natural organic ingredients which help to ensure you get a clean burn. You can find these melts from pawmelts and they retail at £18.50 for a box of 9.

Every good cup of tea needs a biscuit and whether or not you agree with Mary Berry on the issue of dunking, I personally am #TeamDunk, inside this box are two beautifully designed biscuits. Designed by Nila Holden whom you can find on NotOnTheHighStreet there are a few shapes and designs to drool over.  In the case of this box we have a beautiful cat and pillow design.

What I love about these boxes is that there are treats for both humans and kitties and for the kitties they do have a real treat inside this box and again all tea related!

First up we have a toy tea bag packed full of catnip from Freak Meowt and it is just brilliant.  This pack contains one tea bag which is filled to the brim with premium Canadian catnip no other filling is used in this product and it caused quite a stir (no pun intended) with my boys who react almost instantly to anything with catnip in it.

The second item for my boy comes from PawandGnaw and it is catnip tea. Perhaps an item I was quite excited about because making the cat a cup of tea is as cute as it is weird. Catnip cat tea with dried premium cat nip herbs for cats. You can brew your own catnip solution at home and then use to spray onto toys or scratching posts or even let your kitty drink a little.The herbs used in our Kit-tea are human food grade making them an excellent quality and dust free too. Each tea bag can be used approximately 2/3 times by drying the bag between uses.It will make a mug full of catnip liquid tea each time which can then be stored in a container in the fridge for up to a week.

The final item in this packed box is another set of toys and this time we have handmade catnip sweet toys from Tillypops and inside each pack is a set of three candy shaped toys. Again, filled with catnip, they have proven to be really popular with my three and they have licked, drooled on and thrown them around since getting them.

I have absolutely loved this box, it is just so clever and I am amazing that so many items that are tea related have been found to put this box together.  A definite must if you have cat and love tea!

Not Another Bunch of Flowers

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I am sure most, if not all of us, will know someone or know of someone with it, has had it or has sadly passed away from what is a truly horrendous disease. I have known, in my lifetime, 4 people who have had it, two of them are still alive and they still fight it.

Not Another Bunch of Flowers is an online web shop set up by Anikka Burton to help friends and family of poorly people make thoughtful gift choices for their loved ones. Anikka herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 aged 33, and has had the full works of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and 5 operations to date. When she was first diagnosed, Anikka’s friends, family and colleagues sent so many bunches of flowers that she ran out of vases, jugs, pint glasses... until she was putting them in saucepans and anything else that would hold water! From here, Not Another Bunch Of Flowers was born.

The first thing we do as humans when someone is unwell is reach for the phone, internet or shop for some flowers.  Flowers, which are bright and beautiful instantly make people feel cheery and much better but, having friends with breast cancer, flowers are a lovely gesture, but sometimes there are other things that can also make the difference and this is why Not Another Bunch Of Flowers is such a great idea.

I know from experience that doing the simple things in life like the shopping, buying ice cubes and even doing the ironing or walking the dog were as much appreciated as the flowers but I also get that buying something other than flowers is sometimes a bit of an alien thought process. So buying an alternative present can be a difficult choice and this is where  Not Another Bunch Of Flowers helps shoppers pick out the right practical gifts for those going through chemo, such as eye masks, button front pyjamas, beanies, and all sorts of bits and bobs you would never have thought of if you hadn’t been through it yourself.

Not Another Bunch of Flowers is generally known for supplying gifts for cancer patients – due to Anikka’s personal story and the resulting PR. However,  Not Another Bunch Of Flowers  also sells general get well gifts, hospital gifts and gifts for mums-to-be and new mums.

Introducing Noble Naturals

Nano minerals are not a concept I had heard of until recently, but now I have, I am incredibly intrigued. Throughout the years, The Health Factory has specialised in the research and development of 100% bio-available minerals and other natural products. Described as being something our body needs, Nano minerals can do a whole host of amazing things and here is how.

L'Ords des Pharaons is a face and body mist which contains purified and revitalised water with added nanoclusters of pure gold, platinum and pure zinc. From the beginning of time gold is considered to be a gift from the gods and going back to the time of the ancient Egypt, the gold of the Pharaohs was used for face masks to help preserve the skin whilst monatomic gold, which was very highly-valued by ancient cultures for its "mystical properties" and "magical powers", was used to rejuvenate and extend the lifespan of a human. 

Fast forward to today and what we have in L’Ords des Pharaons Face and Body Mist, £40 is a product which when applied on the skin before make-up and creams; L’Or des Pharaons’ pure ingredients are absorbed deep into the skin layers. Thus the revitalisation is deep and lasting. L’Or des Pharaons combats the visible signs of aging at cellular level and helps rejuvenate your skin – defying the effects of time.  It contains no allergens or chemicals.

Nano Silver (or Colloidal Silver) is described as being a uniquely formed mineral water which contains silver particles and it is these particles which kill bacteria and fungus in minutes. Noble Naturals’ Nano Silver is available in three different sizes; a 15ml spray, a 100ml bottle with a handy dropper and bigger bottles in 200ml and 1 litre sizes. Prices start from £10.95

I had a quick chat with a science teacher friend of mine and I was more acutely aware as to what a great little find this is. Apparently, the world’s oldest and original antibiotic which was used before the discovery of penicillin to fight off illness, Silver has, for centuries, been used to protect the body from disease and illness and also to kill harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi within the body! Something I never knew until now which shames me as a history graduate!  Before the invention of the refrigerator, it was common practice to drop a silver coin into a container of milk as a preservative because silver was known to prevent the growth of algae, bacteria and other undesirable organisms.

So, when applied directly to the skin, this product can treat problems such as nappy rash, burns, sores, cuts, skin conditions such as eczema, toothache, throat infections and eye infections to name just a few.  As someone who suffers with tonsillitis and am allergic to penicillin, this is definitely a product I intend to try the next time I am ill. 

I absolutely love learning about products such as Nano Silver and L'Ords des Pharaons, they fascinate me and one of the reasons I enjoy blogging as much as I do is because without it, I would never have the chance to discover and try products such as these.

All Noble Natural products are available at The Health Factory.

Jay Manuel Beauty

Beauty. It's deeply personal, purely individual and surprisingly public. A woman's appearance is an outward reflection of who she really is. Jay Manuel Beauty is about self-sourcing your style and finding the path to you.  So says the man himself.  Jay Manuel is a name you might recognise and associate with America's Next Top Model and Fashion Police and now he has brought to the world his own cosmetics brand which he say is about empowering modern women to enhance their unique beauty and to do that, the range utilises the highest quality ingredients, sophisticated pigments and can we just add, some pretty amazing packaging which is sleek and just delightful.

I was lucky enough to fangirl, I mean meet Jay at a recent event where he took the time to speak to myself and a few others and talk through some of the products.  Throughout his career, Jay has noted that most women fall into three broad categories: Classic, Avant-Garde and Iconic, sometimes not exclusively and sometime a mixture of all three.  It is these three categories which are reflected across the Jay Manuel beauty brand.

• Classic: A look that is relevant always. opts for a fresh-faced, natural look that has an understated elegance.  Prefering neutrals and classic colours without a lot of flourishes.  Products will be easy to blend and build, ideal for a no muss, no fuss approach or simply the more subtle look.
• Iconic: A strong statement that is remembered through time. Makes a powerful and sophisticated impressed through the use of strong colour, smoky eye and plenty of drama. Wants the flexibility to define the look based on occasion, hot trend or mood.  Products are more layered and create seductive, high-impact looks which command attention.
• Avant-Garde: Throwing away all the rules. Loves to experiment and isn't afraid to take risks. The look is cutting edge and often extreme, featuring highly eclectic and eccentric choices.  Products will include a variety of intense colours and unusual finishes that are mixed and matched with wild abandon.

With products ranging from Foundation, lipstick, lipgloss, Mascara, eyeshadow quads, eyeliner, blusher, bronzer, powder and concealer to name just a few, there is plenty to get stuck into.  I have been lucky enough to play with two of the Ultimate Lipsticks, all of which have very playful names, mine are Nudiest which as you can see is a beautiful nude shade and Siren which is a beautiful red shade that I am hoping I can pull off. I love the packaging, as I have said it is sleek, nothing too over the top and you can see what the product is and who it is by all in one look. Described as being "Bold, statement-making lipsticks saturate lips with high-intensity pigments and create long lasting definition with deep, luscious hydration" one thing for sure is that they glide onto the lips with ease and are just so super soft, they are a delight to wear.  There are 15 different lipstick shades to choose from 

The Soft Focus Powder Blush which comes inside a sleek compact and is adorned with the initials JM, I have shade Bella which is a slightly pinkier shade than I would usually choose, but it is a shade which gives a light dusting of colour to the cheekbones and can be built up to give as much colour as you are comfortable with.  It is available in 5 other shades and in my opinion, well worth looking at because it is divine.

The Ultimate Lip Gloss in shade Wet. On the lips it glides on so quickly and effortlessly to give a really good shine and as it is clear there is no colour. Thankfully it is neither sticky or tacky which is a massive no for me when it comes to a gloss. It is formulated with luxurious pigments and extra fine crushed gemstones and uses Diamond dust which refracts light giving lips a soft focus and high shine. The wand has really flexiable silicone tip making it easier to complete the application.

The Everything Mascara in black features an adjustable and retractable wand which features two different lengths of bristles allowing you to  twist and pull through your lashes to ensure each one is coated. Designed to maximise length and volume, I love that this mascara doesn't clump, it doesn't have a scent and you can reach those small little inner lashes easily without poking yourself in the eye. 

The Jay Manuel Beauty collection is available now on QVC and if you are never sure what shades might be right for you, then you can download Jay's app and it gives customised make-up recommendations based on your style, identifies your skin tone to recommend your shades, and suggests shades for you based on products you already own.

It's Halloween with Lush

How amazing does a Saturday night locked in a Lush Cosmetics shop sound? Amazing that is what and guess what... It is exactly what I did!  Down at Victoria Station hidden away is a little Lush Store with the most amazing, excitable, knowledgeable and friendly Lush staff you will possibly meet.

Spending an evening being allowed to explore new products, play with products, touch absolutely everything and eat sweets is a dream for any Lush fan and I got to take it one step further and walk around the store, wearing Lush BB Seaweed Facemask whilst dropping bath bombs into water, why? Well because I could and because, well why not?  One thing I do love about Lush and their staff is how friendly everyone is and if you are not so sure whether or not a product is for, then simply ask and it will be shown to you.

With Autumn arriving and Halloween and then Christmas coming, there is, as you might expect, a lot of new Lush products and first comes Halloween so this is what you might find on the shelves on your local store.

The Lush Halloween 2016 collection, which is available in-stores now, debuts some bright, weird and most definitely sparkly products to try out.  Starting with Dead Good Pumpkin gift set (20.95) which features four products Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar, Pumpkin and Lord of Misrule Bath Bombs plus Boo the bath melt.

Pumpkin Bath Bomb (£3.95) fizzes into a hue of bright orange as it melts into the water and it gives off a spicy scent of vanilla with a dashing of cinnamon to almost make you believe you have a piece of pumpkin pie, fruity and sweet all at the same time.

Monsters' Ball Bath Bomb (£4.25) explodes into bright vivid pinks, purples and mint greens as it dissolves into the water and using Lime Oil and Neroli Oil it is every bit as fruity as a bath needs to be, but there is also the inclusion of rock salt from the Himalayas.

Boo the bath melt (£3.50) which is shaped like a ghost uses calming Mimosa, warming Ginger, Fair Trade, organic cocoa butter, grounding sandalwood combines and vivid Sicilian mandarin oil to make the most amazing amount of bubbles which smell delightful.

Autumn Leaf Bath Bomb (£3.75) fizzes from green to yellow and then to red which is as amazing as it sounds and uses Sandalwood, Bergamot and Neroli oils, again smelling just incredible, just like cut grass!

Goth Fairy Shimmer Bar (£3.50) gives off a multitude of iridescent lustres - gold, green, purple and silver on the skin. Using illipe and cupuaçu butters which gently melt over the body, they soften skin and leave the fruity scent of almond, grapefruit and bergamot, it smells literally good enough to eat.

Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar (£3.95) is definitely one for the glitter lovers, though it doesn't turn you into a disco ball thankfully.  Dropped into the water this one becomes bright greens and oranges and used Juniperberry, Grapefruit and Lime oils which pack a punch and should leave you revitalised and full of energy.

Little Monster (£10.95) is the second gift set to have caught my eye. Inside you will find two gifts - Lord of Misrule Shower Gel which uses spicy black pepper and patchouli concoction, with just a dash of Fair Trade vanilla absolute to bring out your sweet side.  Add to that is Monters' Ball Bath Bomb.

So if Halloween is your thing and you love Lush, this combination is just perfect!
