Hello everyone! I have a review for you today on a piece of jewellery that makes me smile everytime i wear it.
Those who know me very well will know how much i love Zelda and Nintendo (the nintendo 64 to be exact). My favourite Zelda game has to be The Ocarina of Time! I've been searching for an ocarina necklace for a very long time and i finally stumbled upon this beautiful creation on an Etsy store called Oh My Geekness.

The detailing and hardwork that went into making this necklace definately shines through.
When i saw this necklace i squealed with excitement (i'm not kidding, i really did squeal). As soon as i had enough money i brought it without any hesitation.
Firstly i would like to thank Jess for her outstanding customer service! She was polite, helpful and always kept me up to date with the progress of my item, from when it was made, to when it was shipped and likely to arrive.

When it arrived it was packaged in a cute little, white box with the shop logo printed on the front. The necklace was cushioned safely inside with a thankyou note aswell, which i thought was a great added touch to my shopping experience.

I honestly adore this necklace! It brings back so many memories of when i was a child sitting cross-legged on the floor, frantically pressing buttons on the controller, battling monsters and playing Zelda's lullaby on my ocarina (if only i could do that with my necklace). This necklace holds a nostalgic purpose as well as being an accessory.
When i brought the necklace it cost me $16 but is now roughly $18 plus $5.85 for shipping which i believe is a very reasonable price because it's handmade, looks amazing and you definately get your money's worth.
I would highly recommend having a look through her store. All her items are handmade and if you're a gaming geek like me you'll be spoilt for choice!

I hope you enjoyed the review!

 Let me know if you liked or purchased anything from the shop.

Thankyou!

Soap and Glory Hand Food hand cream Review

Hello everyone! I'm sorry i haven't made a post in a while but i've recently been bombarded with school work and didn't want to fall behind, but now i'm back on track. But anyway lets move right on to the review!
During the autumn and winter i suffer from severely dry hands. I've used a lot of hand creams but never this one, so i thought i would give it a go.

Firstly i love the packaging! It's girly, cute and stylishly simple. The scent of this hand cream is also amazing! It's sweet and slightly fruity. If you don't like sweet smells you may find it sickly.
This product claims to be a "non-greasy hydrating hand cream", it was hydrating and absorbed fairly quickly but i did find it greasy and it left a slight residue, but it has helped to get rid of the dry patches on my hands.

When i apply this hand cream i usually wear cotton gloves on my hands, i find this helps the cream to absorb faster and stops me from getting hand cream everywhere!
During the winter i don't think this hand cream will be hydrating enough for me but for now it works fine.

I hope you enjoyed the review! If you have any recommendations please leave them as a comment below. Thankyou! :)

October Favourites!

Hello everyone! I hope you've all had a great Halloween and don't feel too sick from eating sweets. October is over so i thought i would share some of my favourite products that i've been using religiously for the past month.

L-R: Baviphat BB cream,Good Things Bright Eyes eye cream, Kate Moss Matte Lipstick for Rimmel-111, Revlon Matte Lipstick-010 Wine Not, 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish- Potion, Rimmel Lasting Finish Nail Polish- 703 Pear Drop, Rimmel Lasting Finish Nail Polish- 700 Block Your Green

Baviphat BB cream- Ebay-£3.50 (roughly)

Asian BB creams are known for being the best on the market and this one is no exception! This product has been a staple in my daily makeup routine. It matches my pale skin perfectly, so perfect that you can't even tell i've put it on! It has quite a strong smell but it goes away pretty quickly. The formula is light, yet it gives reasonable coverage. It's specifically for oily skin, which is perfect for me. If you're looking for a good BB cream i'd recommend giving this one a go. I purchased mine off Ebay because it's not available in the UK.

The packaging is adorable and eyecatching!

Good Things Bright Eyes eye cream

I love this eye cream! It feels so light weight and a little goes a long way with this product. I have definately noticed a reduction in the appearance of my dark circles. From Boots it costs £5.99. This is definately a staple for me! Also it is free from parabens, mineral oils and sodium laureth sulphate, so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans.

Kate Moss Matte Lipstick for Rimmel and Revlon Matte Lipstick

I've been loving wearing either a red or dark berry lip for autumn and these two have been my go to lipsticks to achieve my chosen looks.
I've been dying to try the Kate Moss Matte lipsticks for Rimmel and i didn't have a red lipstick in my collection so i decided to pick up the shade 111. I love this lipstick! The formula is amazing, it glides on effortlessly and stays on for a long time. It is slightly drying but applying a lipbalm beforehand sorts that out. It costs £5.49 from Boots.

I love the dark berry lip trend for autumn and Revlon's Matte Lipstick in Wine Not is the perfect shade. I love this lipstick because it can add an edgey feel to any outfit and the colour is just gorgeous. It does go on qutie patchy at first but after blotting and reapplying a couple of times the problem is sorted. I'd definately recommend this lipstick because it compliments any skin tone. Unfortunately this shade isn't available in the UK so i brought mine off Ebay for about £4.00 (roughly).

Rimmel Lasting Finish Nail Polishes

These have been my favourite colours to combine together when painting my nails for this month. I've been wearing Pear Drop on my index fingers, then put Block Your Green onto the rest of my nails. I love the colour green and these are definately new additions to my favourite nail polishes. They cost £2.99 from Boots.

Block Your Green. The colour is not showing up true on this image but it is a dark green colour.

17 Fast Finish Nail Polish- Potion

 

I adore the colour of this polish! If i'm not wearing my Rimmel nail polishes i'm wearing this one. It reminds me of the scales on a beetle. It's such an unusual colour and although it looks pearlescent in the bottle, on the nails it looks like a green-gold colour which i believe is perfect for autumn. It costs £2.99 from Boots. It doesn't dry in 60 seconds like it claims but it does last a heck of a long time on the nails before it starts to chip.

 

 

 

I hope you've all enjoyed this post! What have been your october favourites?
