Makeup Revolution Haul

Recently Makeup Revolution had a offer that if you ordered over £30 of items you got £30 worth free. I had been wanting to try their new palettes for a while, this seemed like a good time to order them.

I placed my order and it automatically added the £30 of products when you hit over £30.

I ordered this 

And got this free

The order arrived within a few days of ordering, however it arrived in a bag I think a box would have been better. Luckily nothing was damaged as massive amounts of bubble wrap had been used

I'd been looking at the Ultra Base Corrector Palette for sometime. For the past few months I've started suffering with vitiligo you would be shocked at the speed in which it has taken over my body. The palette come with a shade to help combat lots of problems.

On the top row:-

Pink to brighten 

Lavender to neutralise yellow tones

Green to neutralise red tones

Orange to neutralise blue tones 

And on the bottom row:-

Peach helps balance out slight discolouration 

White to add natural highlight and brightens

Cream neutralises purple and covers dark areas

Balances ashiness in medium and dark skin tones

The palette is very creamy and very blendable, it can see it becoming a favourite of mine.

Next up is the Ultra Contour Palette

I'm very new to the idea of Highlight and Contour, after watching many YouTube videos and a little help from my daughter I have come around to the idea.  I'm looking forward to having a play around with this palette in the coming weeks.

I had to pop the Death By Chocolate Palette into my basket

 The colours have names such as, one more bar, tear the wrapper, lick me and Break me up.  I don't know if it's all in my head, but it also seems to have a chocolate smell that hits you as you open it.

I then popped the Matte Effect foundation, Focus and Fix concealer and Focus and Fix eye primer into my basket. My order was now £31 so the £30 of products appeared in my basket.

This is what I received for free

Fast Love palette

Lip geek lipstick - Smile is the Best Makeup

Wow Gloss - you go girl

Did any of you take advantage of the offer? What did you order?

Punting in Cambridge

After living in Cambridge for 19 years we thought it was about time to try punting.  Hubby had a day off on Friday so we made our way into Cambridge.  Deciding to have a guide punt us, we paid and booked our place.  

While getting into the punt I managed to do the splits with one foot on the ground and one in the punt.  I thought this can only end badly, however I managed to fall into the seat avoiding getting wet :) 

We couldn't believe how busy the river was. The sun was shining and was so relaxing, will be going again soon and might even try and punt ourselves!

Have you purchased the box? what are your faves?

Pocket Letters

I have recently been spending all my free time thinking, shopping, watching you tube videos and making pocket letters.

If you don't know what a pocket letter is, its a way of sending pretty mail to people

Pocket letters creator Janette Lane came up with the idea at the beginning of the year and its taking off all over the world.

You take a trading card plastic sleeve and fill each of the 9 sections with goodies and make it pretty.

I have sent out about 15 and they are highly addictive

I have also received some really lovely pocket letters

Have you made pocket letters or would like to swap with me?

Kikki K weeks set up

Those of you that know me know I'm a massive Filofax fan.  I've had one since I was 15 and my love for them has grown over the years.

While searching on Instagram I came across a photo of a stunning planner from Kikki K. I fell in love that instant.

I put out a wanted post and a very kind lady replied, a deal was made and planner sent.

This week I've move into my Kikki K, I thought I would share with you my weeks decoration.  I hope to do a post every week to share my decorated pages.

Do any of you use a planner? Do you decorate your weekly pages?
