I am always on the lookout for more natural lipsticks, and try to be more bold with my colour choices. Last month I picked up a Zuii Organics Flora Lipstick in the shade 'Wine' and fell in love with the creamy texture so this month as part of my Accredited Blogger picks I thought I would try a few others from the brand. Swatches below from left to right is the Flora Lip Tint* in ' Sea Shell ' and Flora Lipsticks* in ' Cashmere ', ' Sugurplum ' and ' Wine '. All of which can be bought for £17.95. Natural light With flash ZUII Organics Flora Lipsticks have a creamy texture and satin like finish. Each lipstick contains a blend of Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and Calcium, as well as Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil & Sunflower Oil. This ensures your lips are left looking in tip top condition, protected, moisturised and healthy. The Flora Lip Tints are blended with the scent of Orange Oil, and infused with Rose, Aloe Vera and organic Beeswax which is perfect...

It's the end of August already....how did that happen?! This month has really flown in as I have been so busy. My August box arrived to my work at just the right time this month. I had a week off work for wedding appointments for my upcoming wedding (October) plus a family wedding at the end of my weeks holiday. I had gone into work on the Tuesday to collect a parcel which contained my outfit for said wedding on the Friday (talk about last minute!) and low and behold there was my beauty box too! Perfect timing! Meant I didn't have to go in again later that week :) Anyway enough rambling...lets look at the box... First up is a product from a brand that features a lot in the beauty box (I'm always happy with this) Madara Eye Contour Cream (15ml £26) is a light yet deeply hydrating cream which reduces puffiness and dark circles around the eye area, and helps to smooth fine lines. I was happy to see this featured in the box as I am long overdue a new eye cream! Th...

Esse Skincare is a Brand that has been on my radar for a while now but up until recently I hadn't tried any of their products. Love Lula was kind enough to send me this product to review as a member of their Accredited Blogger Programme, which I am thrilled about! Esse Light Body Moisturiser is £45 for a 200ml glass bottle with pump dispenser. As the name suggests it is a light lotion that can be used all over the body, and is also great for hands and nails. I can't quite place the scent as it is both floral and sweet to me...but the perfect summery scent! The first thing I noticed with this lotion is the colour as it is tinted, which took me off guard (I guess I assumed it would be a white lotion, having never used Esse Skincare before) I however now know a few of their products are very similar to this. The tint is temporary and disappears when you rub it in, leaving behind soft moisturised skin. The pump dispenser I found to be very useful and ...

Firstly I would like to apologise for my lack of posts recently...its been a hectic few weeks with Wedding planning and appointments. As the post title says 8 WEEKS TO GO!!! Sunday 13th October I get to marry my handsome chap. I thought I'd share some pictures from our pre-wedding photoshoot. There were loads but these are my favourites.  My favourite of myself, like my smile in this one.  Love love love the sky in this picture   I like this one but wish my ring was straight on my finger! It's a bit big right now, but fits fine once wedding band is alongside it. Rainbow! LOVE! It was very nerve wracking and slightly awkward getting pictures taken...posing in different positions and having to act like the cameras weren't there. Our photographers were brilliant though and soon had us (or possibly just me) feeling at ease. Looking forward to our wedding day and seeing what fantastic shots they ge...
