Unicorn Essentials // New Spectrum Goodies Review


When Spectrum Collections send you an email with the words #NationalUnicornDay and Sale in it, you don't really have much choice do you? A couple of weeks ago (you can tell how far behind I am with blog posts) was National Unicorn Day and Spectrum Collections had some money off a selection of their products. I absolutely love Spectrum products; I think they're a really high quality and good value for money and let's face it, they look absolutely stunning too! I'd been looking to replace my beauty blender as it was getting a bit ratty, so I decided to purchase their Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge and as it was on offer I also bought the Unicorn Horn Polish brush cleaner! 


Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge


This is a really great little sponge to use! I used the pointed end to blend in my concealer under my eyes and it was small enough to reach right into the corners to ensure everything was all blended together. I then used the round end on the rest of my face. It blended everything out really easily and worked just as well as my old one so I'm really pleased with it! It says you can use this sponge wet or dry and I used it dry underneath my eyes. However when I dampened it to use it on the rest of my face, it went a really weird shape! I think it shouldn't be a problem once it dries but I hope it doesn't stay like that!

Unicorn Horn Polish Brush Cleaner

Ok so the first thing you notice with this product is the smell; it's got grapefruit in it so it has a really strong citrus smell which I love! All you do with this product is wet your brush and then just swirl it around the pan until it's clean. It worked so well, my brushes were definitely clean and they smelt so lovely! I would say to tip the excess water out of the pan after you've used it and to leave it with the lid off to dry properly so it stays nice and fresh!

Thank you Spectrum, you've done it again with your amazing products!

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Birchbox Goodies // May 2019

Does anyone else have a major urge to just spend the next few months sitting in the nearest beer garden or is that just me? Summer is well and truly making its return and for this month's Birchbox we're celebrating being able to spread our wings (although I wish those wings were taking me to a beach). In this box, I got a Lord & Berry eyeliner, a toner from Sukin, a Beautaniq mascara, a face sunscreen from Mimitika and a hair mask from Philip Kingsley. Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eye Pencil RRP £13 I'm pretty sure I've received one of these in a previous Birchbox and from what I remember, I liked this product then and I like it now! I don't really use black pencil liner unless I'm doing a dark smokey eye, in which case I'll use it to line my bottom lashline. This one is pretty pigmented and also smudges out really nicely so it ticks all the boxes for what I look for in a product like this. I do think the price tag is a little expensive though, ...
