True red lip stick

Hey guys,

Today I wanted to write about a lipstick I've been loving, it's a red lippy. I've really felt inspired to step out of my comfort zone this winter and wear some darker lip colours like berries and reds, I'm usually one to stick to my neutral "your lips but better" colours, but I've been loving dark lips so much that I've actually been wearing them more often than not.

Since it's already a brave move to wear a rue red we want to make sure it's a great one, at the same time I don't want to spend loads of money on a novelty colour. This Is why I wanted to share the one I've been loving with you. It's the  L'Oreal Color Riche Made for Me Intense Lipstick, it's actually the Cheryl Cole limited edition and ISPs in the colour RED PASSION 461. 

The colour is absolutely stunning and long lasting, like any red its's not a very forgiving colour so a steady hand and good red lip liner is an essential. I have extremely dry lips and most lipsticks seem to just dry them out more and the colour sinks in to the cracks ( think we would all agree that's not a great look) although this lipstick isn't as moisturising as a balm. It's still does the job at making my lips look smooth and luscious. 

If you've just started off using dark or bright colours I'd really suggest having a concealer handy to clean up and make your lips look perfect.:)

Pandora gift.

Hello my lovelies,

Today is just a small post to share some beautiful gifts I recieved from my lovely Dad. I was so overwhelmed by it that I just had to share it with. You've probably guessed what it is by the title of this post. There were two gifts which came packaged beautifully in a Pandora gift bag. Just the gift bag itself was so beautiful and made me feel extremely special. 

I then carefully loosened the ribbon to find two small boxes inside. (All this time I was jumping with excitement.) I opened one of the boxes to reveal the most stunning ring. It's a very simple silber ring with a Decmber birthstone in it. Now to be quite honest I was born in November not in December, but my Dad knows that I am absolutely obsessed with Turquoise which is the birth stone of Decemeber. It is by far my favourite stone and I have a pendant which I wear all the time which is also a turquoise stone. The ring fits perfectly and I was over the moon.

The exciting thing was that there was still another box to open. In this box it had matching earrings to the ring , again with the December birth stone. This little set from Pandora is absolutely beautiful, I feel that it adds a little splash of colour, but it's honestly so simple and classic. The earrings are really small and therefore easy to wear with any outfit. I loved this gift so much and can really tell that it's going to be a staple in jewelry on a daily basis, as it's just so wearable, but extremely elegant.

As I said I was very fortunate to be bought this stunning duo as a gift by my lovely Dad, but if you are wanting to buy it for yourself or as a gift they're both available at most Pandora stores or at Pandora online, they're often out of stock and I know my Dad had real difficulty getting his hands on it, but you can sign up to be sent an email when in stock. Unfortunately they're not sold as a set. The Decemeber birthstone (turquoise) ring is £40 and the December birthstone earring is £45. This was honestly such a special gift for me and a thank my Dad a million times for it!!:) 

What's your birthstone? Do you like it or prefer another months?

Real techniques blush brush

Hello my lovelies,

I hope you're all well and having a great start to the year.

Today's blog post is to share how excited I am to have bought my first Real techniques brush. I know these are a statement in every beauty addicts collection. I actually had never purchased one though, although hearing tons about I just thought. "I don't need another brush, I have tons of Eco tools brushes. Why would I need anymore?" Boy was I wrong a girl can never have too many brushes. 

After wandering in my local Boots I started looking at the different sets and realised they are no were near as expensive as I expected considering how high up in everyone's list they are. I ended up buying the blush brush which was £9.99 to give it a go, but I'm definitely going to go back and buy a set as they're amazing value for money. They're core collection set comes with four brushes: detailer brush, pointed foundation brush, face brush and contour brush. They're all really high quality brushes and come in at an amazing £21.99 I'd be silly not to right? They also currently have a limited edition  duo fibre set which I'm eye balling. It brings three brushes for face, contour and eyes, it's duo fibres means it works with any consistency makeup: powder, creamy or liquid. 

The brushed look beautiful and they're designed by Samantha Chapman who we all know and love. They're super soft and I feel they really pick up the product well with hardly any fall out. So jw as really exicited to try this out and can't wait to get myself some more.

Have you tried the real techniques brushes? Which one is your favourite?

Seven deadly sins - Beauty tags.

Hello my lovelies. 

Today I though I'd do a small beauty tag which is just a bit of lighthearted fun, but will let you you know a bit more about me. So....LETS GO

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?

This was really hard to think about because I usually by with a spur of the moment attitude and end up forgetting what it cost. When I went to Italy on holiday I paid regular visit to a beauty shop called Kiko. You can also buy things from them online to just click here to check them out. They MAD sales so I bought tons of things for under £2 I think the cheapest was a nail polish which I bought for £0.50 it was a sugar effect one and to be quite honest I didn't like it:( most expensive beauty item I have is the Dior skin sculpt foundation which is £34. 

2. WRATH: What beauty product do you have a love/hate relationship with? 

For me this is definitely the gold old Rimmel London wake me up foundation. I know this is a beauty blogger classic and I'm sure it's my skin rather than the actual foundation, but sometimes I LOVE it and feel it works great. Other times I find I look TOO "dewy" and feel it too if you know what I mean. Sometimes it just doesn't seem to dry properly and leaves me feeling damp or tacky even with a layer of setting powder over it. Like I said though I think it's probably got more to do with how my skin is on that particular day or time of the month.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products? 

So I've already mentioned them in this tag, but I've recently bought quite a few products from Kiko and they are honestly the best smelling products ever. Their mineralized blush and their cream velvet blush literally smell like chocolate. (I've thought about eating it many times, but don't worry I haven't.) I also love benefits 15 hour primer it just smells so fresh and amazing. Yummmmm

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness? 

There's actually two which I really neglect and I shouldn't. The first which I never do is my eyebrows. Don't worry I pluck them haha, I just don't use any powder or pencil on them as much prefer how they look naturally. I also 80% neglect using eyeliner. I only use it with red or dark colour, just due to pure laziness. 

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

This is an easy one for me to answer. It's definitely gel eyeliner. My eyes I feel are my best feature so exaggerating them with a winged liner is what I loooove to do. If I want to look good you will most definitely see me wearing it. 

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex? 

I'm guessing this means look wise. It's definitely the hair for me. I can't tell you what type of hair I like on a guy as there's many different styles I like. But if a guy has nice hair he's laughing then. 

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?

As a beauty obsessed girl I love trying new products. So as far as beauty related gifts come you can't really go wrong, but i do go through phases of wanting different things and at the moment it's definitely the Naked 3 pallet I want to get my hands on. Comment down below if you already have this and what your thoughts are on it. I'm also awaiting Tanya Burr's lips and nails to try them all out. 

So that about wraps it up. 

I tag you all to this tag, so comment down below if you do so I can check it out.

Love Damaris

Please make sure you follow my blog so you can stay updated with everything:) 

Well I've recently written a few blogs about graze box and they received a lot of positive feedback and people wanting to know more about, a lot of people also used the discount code which is great. So I though every now and the. I'd keep you updated with what I receive in my box and how I'm liking it etc.

If you don't know what graze box is, it's a company which make guilty free snacks, in the sense that they're either one of your five a day, full of fibre, less the 90 calories etc. each of them have a health benefit, but don't be fooled my loves there's even BROWNIES. Yupe I said it, brownies. This box is £3.89 in the UK  and the includes delivery. Each box brings four different snacks that are especially tailored to you taking into account your likes etc. each box also includes a leaflet explaining the health benefits for the snacks in your box. There's over a 100 snack so you won't get bored easily. 

So this week in my box I recivied: Chocolate pretzel. This was absolutely delicious it's 27g (perfect snack size) portion of salted pretzels with a chocolate sauce to dip in to and it was DEEE lish. 

I also recited applewood smoked beef jerky with tomato relish. This was so tasty, a little too chewy for my liking, but I'll definitely ask for it again.

Black pepper pistachio nuts. I haven't opened these yet, but I am really looking forward to it, neither have I opened tropical daiquiri which is a mixture of dried fruit including mango and pineapple and again I think it'll be a good'n.

Rose gold watch

Hello my lovelies.

This is just a short blog post as I wanted to show you all a gift I received from my mum and am absolutely in love with. It's a rose gold watch from Fossil. I believe it's the stella bracelet. 

I've been wanting a rose gold watch for a really long time now and have been deciding between Fossil, Michael Kors or even a Ted Baker one. I didn't really mind which "brand" I had because they're all so beautiful, but Michael Kors is a lot more expensive.

So my mum surprised me with this stunning watch and it's exactly what I wanted. I usually wear very simple bracelets, so for me something like this is quite bulky, but I just think it is such a statement and so classic, but the face that it's rose gold gives it such a feminine and modern touch.

I have been obsessed with rose gold lately, I think it's due to the fact that Ted Baker use a lot of rose gold detailing in their classic collection and as some of my regular readers may know I am a tad obsessed with Ted Baker. I'm constantly looking on Etsy for unique rose gold pieces of jewelery. For those of you who don't know Etsy is an online shop were independent sellers sell their own products, as the majority of things are hand made you can find some really unique and different pieces on there. To check it out just click here.

So I'll leave you with some pictures of my new found love:)

Loreal nude magique eau de teint review

Hello my lovelies.

So today I'm reviewing a Loreal foundation which this year has crept its way in to every beauty bloggers heart and that is the Loreal nude magique eau de teint. I've been using this product for a couple of months now and feel really happy with it. So I thought why not share some of my thoughts on it. Get a cuppa and enjoy:) 

I was actually really confused with this foundation when it first came out because a lot of American youtubers and beauty bloggers were raving about it and in the USA it looks just as above but I believe it's called liquid powder, I could never see that in the drugstore so I settled for this one haha. I'm Pretty sure they are exactly the same, just with different names. Comment down below if you know what that's all about.  Anyway when I first got it I was quite sceptical as I shook the bottle and it's pure liquid in there, it literally sounded like water, I thought "this definitely is not going to work for me" but hey I gave it a shot anyway and am so glad I did.

Like I said it is pure liquid and that's actually one of its selling points being that it's as water and as light as a feather. Which is very true I love wearing this on days that I want to look "fresh"  but am still not feeling up to meeting the world bare face, or on those no makeup, makeup days. It is just perfect for those days and it blends perfectly in to the skin and feels so weightless, it's one of the only foundations  I feel I don't need to apply everywhere. I apply some on my forehead and chin as I have blemish scarring and a tiny bit to my cheeks to cancel out some of the redness, but I don't feel I need to cover everything. The finish is flawless and so natural, with coverage being light to medium but definitely buildable. It's not a foundation I'd wear for a flawless face on a night out or special occasion, but for natural days it's perfect. I have it in the colours 140 and 150

Like I said it feels like you're literally not wearing anything which I love,I have very oily skin and with the nude magique I very rarely feel oily. I will say though I'm not sure if that's a particularly good thing because It does smell like alcohol, so makes me wonder if it's drying on the skin. Although I haven't personally noticed any drying, it seems to cancel out my oily skin perfectly.

It also has an SPF 18 in it which although this time of year isn't particularly needed it's always handy, especially as I can tell this is one I will love wearing in the summer. 

If you are interested in buying it, it's currently on sale at feel unique.com for £4.99 BARGAIN.

Let me know in the comments below if you have tried this foundation and what you think.

Benefit's Watt's up dupe

Benefit Watt's up dupe

Hello my lovelies. Today I'm writing to you about one of my all time favourite products. Benefit's Watt's up. It's always on my face whether it's for an every day 'work' look or for a night out. It's a product which is so versatile and is always in my handbag. Although not on the cheap side it does last an extremely long time which in my books actually makes it great value for money. 

A highlighter is one of my favourite makeup statements, it just brightens you're face up. I especially love using it just under my brown bone, or on my cheek bone just above my blusher, but there are so many types of highlighters it can be difficult to know which one is best for you. Liquid highlighters, Mac also do some gorgeous powder highlighter, but my absolute favourite is Benefit's Watt's up which I'm sure you all know and love! is a cream stick highlighter. It's absolutely beautiful with a glisten, it's creamy texture makes it super easy to blend and looks so natural. It does unfortunately cost £24.50 but it does last you ages I've had mine since the summer using it basically every day and have hardly made a dent.

So I've made pretty clear I think it's good value for money, but in these hard days we all appreciate a good bargain. So when I went shopping with my mum to buy her some new makeup I was impressed to find a highlighter by No7 in exactly the same format as Watt's up in a creamy stick form.

The No7 Radiance glow highlighter comes in at an amazing £9 and it's honestly just as good as wat's app.

The colours are very slightly different as watts up has more of a gold undertone and No7 has more of a pink underton, but when blended into my skin I honestly can't tell the difference.

I usually apply watts up onto my finger and from then blend it into my brow bone, but No7 actually have formulated it with a rounded edge which does make application a bit easier. It's true that watts up comes with a blending sponge on the other end, but I honestly have never used it.

I'm not going to stop loving Watts up and it is a product which I will always recommend, however I do think the No7 radiance glow is an AMAZING dupe. I have a feeling it may just be in their Christmas collection (correct me if I'm wrong) but it has been out of stock lots lately, so make sure you get your hands on it.

Thanks for reading 

Lots of love
