Why hello there...

Long time no see! I won't go into details of where I've been as I did a life post recently which will give you all the details (check it out here).

For my return to blogging post, I'm very excite to be doing a review of some jewellery which was sent to me by the lovely Holly from Lune and Luck! 

The items that were sent to me are the Gold Band midi rings, the Rose Stone ring, and Gold Bar ring. Unfortunately the gold bands and bar rings only come in one size, but this is only a starting out business so I haven't got a problem with that as they can be worn as midi, pinkie or normal rings depending on your size. Also the rose stone ring is adjustable which means it can fit just about any size which is great! 

They're so pretty and elegant with just the right amount of detail! I'm a tiny bit disappointed with the Gold bar ring as it's already going 'coppery' after a few wears and it's meant to be gold plated so I need to put some clear polish over it, but the other rings are totally fine. They're a really affordable price for the quality and design as rings like this could cost a lot more in places like Topshop, and primark rings don't tend to keep their colour for very long at all. 

They are beautifully packaged in this purple gift bag, and to ensure they arrive safely they were wrapped in individual plastic sealed bags. It also includes this little handwritten note which adds a nice personal touch to it. They would make a perfect gift or as an affordable treat for yourself!

There is so many other wonderful designs to pick from so make sure you check out the website: Luneandluck.com

Check out the website and let me know what your favourite is!

Again a massive thank you to Holly for sending me these lovely items!

Thanking you,

Naomi

Why, hello there...

I haven't done a wishlist in such a long time! They're isn't actually that many things in this wishlist but they're mainly things I've been looking at for a while, so lets get started!

1. JustFab Sandals, £35. I'm currently looking for some shoes for my 6th form leavers dinner but want something I can wear again instead of some fancy shoes that will be put to the back of my wardrobe. I would like to find a jumpsuit (like the one in the collage) so I really want the shoes to be black with a pop of colour or something. So yeah, after that ramble, really like these shoes!

2. MUA Power Pout in Justify, £3. For some reason, I been loving orange, particularly lips even though I don't have any orange lip products..yeah I don't know how that happened either. This one is only £3 so my next trip to superdrug will require hunting this down.

3. New Look Jumpsuit, £22.99. As said before, I'm looking for a black jumpsuit for my 6th form leavers dinner. although I still unsure as to whether I go maxi dress or a short dress, I'll maybe do a post on my outfit choices soon so look out for that!

4. Bourjois Effect 3D Lipgloss in Orange Juteuse, £7.99. Again with the orange lips. I've recently re-discovered my lipgloss collection and I've been loving them for the spring. I've swatched this in-store and the pigmentation was great, so I'll hopefully pick it up soon.

5. L'Oreal Studio line Matte and Messy Salt-spray, £3.75. I've been wanting a salt spray for a while now. I have naturally wavy/curly hair but most of the time I just straighten it so I want something that gives a bit of texture during the summer.

6. JustFab heals, £35. Another pair of shoes for my leavers dinner. These are a bit different for me but I really like them! There is a possibility of going into town after the meal and these would be a bit better for that, I just can't decide!

Looking at it now, my wishlist kind of looks like an outfit plan! Hope you've enjoyed this post!

What's on your wishlist?

Thanking you,

First of all, you get 200ml which is the same as the L'Oreal micellar solution, but you pay a lot less. The packaging is really sleek, with the plastic being really sturdy with an almost frosted effect, which makes it look more expensive than it is. The dispenser is a very small hole so you have to squeeze the bottle to get the product out, which is great as you get hardly any over-use of the product; you can get the exact amount you want, unlike others.

The actual product is a beautiful deep orange, and product separates as it's oil-based so you need to give it a good shake before you use it. Although it is not branded as a micellar solution, it does effectively the same thing and removes your make-up really well, particularly foundation I find. Because it's an oil based product it does leave a residue on your skin but it's not necessarily a bad thing as the oil moisturises the skin, whereas most micellar solutions have dried my skin out. Leaving it on to soak in leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth. This means you could use it just as a face oil/serum and it would do just as good a job as the more expensive serums that are on the market. Personally, smell and/or taste are big factors in most products I buy, and this doesn't have a particular smell or taste on the lips unlike some (the B micellar solution at superdrug smells and tastes awful!) which is another great plus to this product.

The only down side to this product is that it isn't the best at removing eye make-up, and I'm not massively keen on the oily feel on my eyelids. Also it doesn't take long for the product to separate again after shaking it, so you often have to shake it between using another cotton pad, but this isn't too much of a problem. 

Overall it is great as an oil/serum for your face and also great at removing foundation/base makeup, but you may need something a little stronger/something more like a micellar solution to remove eye makeup and harsh lipstick. But for only £1 it is a really good product! 

The NSPA Ultimate Cleansing Tonic is available in ASDA stores.

Have you used this before? How do you remove your makeup? 

Thanking you,

1. Primark 'Love my Boyfriend' white with black stripes t-shirt, £3.50. As I said in my last haul post, I'm really getting into basic t-shirts and this is just another It has the rolled up sleeves and it's just simple but pretty. I got it in a size 14 but I think I might go back and get a size 12 so it's more fitted.

2. Primark Red rope stakement necklace, £3. I've been after another statement necklace for a while as I only  really have 1 at the moment. I saw this one and I loved the colour and thought it was a really great design from primark, and it was only £3 which is amazing!

3. Miss Sport Fabulous lash Xtra black mascara, £1.99. I've been using my sample size They're Real from benefit for ages now and it's time that I bought a new mascara. This one was really cheap so I thought why not, hopefully do a review on it soon.

4. MUA Single eye shadow in Shade (Matte), £1. I haven't got many matte eyeshadows and this is just the perfect shade for an all-over-the-lid colour, particularly for spring/summer. For a pound you can't go wrong.

5. MUA Powder blush in Marshmallow, £1. Superdrug was doing 3 for 2 across all cosmetics so I got this for free. For some reason I've started using blusher, which I never normally do so I thought I would expand my collection. I looks really bright in the pan so I'll have to see how I get on with it!

(Everything from Poundworld, so everything is £1)

6. Salon Selective refresh and revitalise dry shampoo. This is a re-purchase as I recently ran out of it. It's my all time favourite dry shampoo, I've done a full review here so make sure you check it out.

7. Maybelline Baby Lips - Soothing Cherry and Oxidising Berry. I am so happy I found these!! I got one a while ago from poundworld - the mango pie one - and I love it! I was going to stock up on that one but they only had these ones. These flavours are only available in Japan and have been mentioned by Ingrid from MissGalmorazzi in her Japan haul. The Soothing Cherry one is actually going to be in a giveaway soon so make sure you stay tuned for that!

8. NYC Blush Palette in psychedelic. This is another item I'm going to be putting in the giveaway! These are only available in america as far as I'm aware so it's a great find! They're such pretty colours as well so I thought you guys would love it.

9. Beauty Formulas Cleansing nose pore strips. I was going to get the ones from the Boots essentials range but never got round to it. I saw these on the shelf so I thought I might as well give them a try for only £1. I'll be doing a review of these soon.

10. Simply Cotton 120 Cotton pads. Just an essential.

Hope you've enjoyed this post! Have you tried any of these products? What else would you like to see in a giveaway?

Thanking you,
