So over on my birthday which seems age ago but wasn't I purchased the Clinique Sonic System (Which is rather pricey but I have been saving up for a while to get one). On the day of purchasing the product if I bought 1 more skincare I would receive this bundle of mini freebies for FREE! (I also got 20% off my purchase as a Boot's celebration & I could collect points!)

1. High Impact Mascara (Black) ;
This product is a mini version of the full size Mascara which retails at £17.50, I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with the product itself. Personally I found it was very basic, the brush wasn't shaped differently and was rather chunky making it difficult to apply onto my inner corners (especially on my lower lashes!) 

2. Chubby Stick ; (Lip balm)
I was so involve when I saw I got this freebie, chubby's are my favorite just because of the style! When I swatched I was shocked by how light the colour was, since it is rather vibrant looking I was expecting a lot of colour to plump out. Although it is a lip balm, so is more for moisturizing you're lips than colouring plus this is a decent size Chubby which normally retails at £17 for full size!


3. Turnaround Overnight Moisturizer ;
This product is a decent size mini as the full size of this product retails at £34 so is a perfect size mini to trail before buying the full size product! I applied a small amount of this all over my face and it felt like I had placed a thick layer of cream over my skin. It felt very cooling and smooth on the skin, which did make me feel more moisturized and like I had a healthy glow. 

4. Eye shadow duo ; 18 beached plum
The packaging of this product is super perfect, plus the size is perfect for you're handbag! I love how the outer packaging of this is completely a mirror style which makes it easy to apply and useful as you wouldn't need to carry any other mirror with you! First off, the gold shade is by far my favorite as I love these shades. It has a small shimmer of glitter but would work better if you use a eye primer to lift the colour more. As for the plum purple shade, its very deep and you only need a small amount for a large quantity of colour. 




5. Liquid facial soap ;
This soap is perfect to test if it is right for you're skin, I personally think this type (dry combination) would work best with skin that has less issues and maybe suffer with small dry patches etc..

 6. Turnaround daytime moisturizer ;
This product is the alernative to the nightime product, and works perfectly on freshly cleansed skin. I noticed when you apply a primer over the top it gives a thick layer making you're skin feel clean with makeup applied! 

 7. Purple metal tin ;
This tin is large and is perfect for storage, whether you use it to store other cosmetic or skincare products. Or use it to store hair products, bath products etc it is super stylish and useful!

 Overall, I was super impressed with this collection of freebies. All the sizes of the products were perfect and would easily last me 2 weeks possibly even longer!

So I recently did a "Swap" over on Depop for this eye shadow, recently I am becoming more and more obsessed with golden, beige and silver shadows! I think its because they are natural but dramatic and just go with any clothing! This shadow stick is a "Cream" style, it twists up with the product coming out the top. You roll it onto and over your eyelids at first I was worried this would be hard to apply and get a even finish, but it worked perfect I rolled majority over my eyelid center then using a blending shadow brush I just sweeped around the outer area and blended it it! 




I have to honestly say I am in love with this shade, it's like a gold with a glitter shimmer. It works perfect for summer, daytime and evening wear! Let me know in the comments what you think? + Don't forget to follow my blog over on the home page X

This eye shadow was purchased some time last year, it is the shade "pearl" but is a green colour. I personally would only wear this shade during spring season matching an outfit or if I was going out clubbing and wanting to match an outfit or accessories. This product is packaged simple, it has a shimmer of glitter (which I love!), and when applied it does look very unique and stylish!

This collection was bought off QVC for a special value of £45 it's still available for £55, this collection comes in a gorgeous box which I will defiantly be keeping to store other products in! It came with a small guide of how to use each product, really useful! (And I did order two!





The first product in this set you would use is the Spackle Tinted Primer, this is a very light tinted color, which adapts to any skin color giving a shimmer glow. It is a great product and I can say, it has become one of my favorites simply because this helps make your skin look more healthy in color so you could easily wear it on it's own during the summer period if your just out and about and not looking for full coverage. 




The next product is the powder foundation, I got the colour "porcelain" as I am an extremely fair skin color. I have to admit this is the first product which I can honestly say it is 100% color perfect, it is very light and beyond shocked me! When I first applied this product, I used the brush with this kit and it just never worked very well, the second attempt I used my own brush and it applied smoothly, I found if I take longer to blend the product into my face it gives more color. As it is a powder foundation it doesn't give 100% coverage and I would say it gives about 40% coverage and focuses more on the color. I recommend if you are to use this product and like to have a large amount of coverage (like myself) you should use a very good concealer! 





The eye-shadow duo which came with the set in Earth & Petal colors. I personally think this duo is perfect for getting a smokey simple look, it has no shimmer or glitter to the colors and once applied it gives a very simple yet dramatic appearance.




 The blush is amazing, my favorite and most beautiful product I have EVER seen! It has a mixture of pink and glitter colors, it gives a perfect shimmer and is patterned perfectly. When I swatched this product is looked so perfect, I noticed when I applied it, the product didn't show up as much and I had to apply it a few times to get it noticed, (I personally think it was the brush I was using).





The lipstick is also again, a new favorite of mine as I love how it pumps up from twisting the bottom but the tip is very soft almost like velvet. You only need about two twists and you have enough product ready! I applied this in the morning and it lasted through out the day, the color is very spring like almost like a peach color.











The eyeliner is is waterproof in dark brown shade, its container is an unusual shape (it doesn't stand up right because it is angled at the bottom), it has a rubber like material towards the top of the product making it easy to grip (which I love about this) when using it to apply. And like majority of liners in containers similar you twisted the top (from where you remove the lid) for more of the product to come out.





And finally, the double ended brush with came with this set. The larger end of the brush is suppose to be used for the foundation, but when I used it I found the brush was very thick and irritable to my skin I found if I was to apply this as a foundation brush it would being to irritate my sensitive skin. So instead I have decided to use it for my blush :-) And then, the thinner side I use for the eye shadow when attempting to blend.
