Among all the crazy Boxing Day and January sales Lipsy threw massive deals on there website and in stores! In particular, on a coat I've had my eye on for a few months now which is from the Michelle Keegan collection.

It's in a parka green style, with gold detailing throughout and a gorgeous fluffy furry blue inner and hood! It stands out so much its beautiful, and I've already been wearing it out and about going to and from work, to the local store and even on the very few shopping trips. I get people coming up to me, complementing me and asking where it's from!

I'm in love, plus the quality of the coat is out of this world. It's RRP is £98 but in the sale I only paid £49. I've had people approach me in the streets complimenting the coat, the only downside is I do struggle to drive in it as the length is fairly long covering the bum.

So I finally decided to commit and purchase off Kylie Cosmetics again (last time was a total disaster see the blog post here) after noticing the dramatic saving on the KoKo Collection I really wanted to get my hands on the set. Normally, the matte singles are 17$ each and the glosses are 15$ each but in this set you get x3 mattes and x1 gloss (value of 66$) for just 40$!

So lets clear up the 'technical' stuff before we get into the products, I ended up purchasing two Koko Collection sets for 40$ each (total of 80$) and got free international shipping. I ordered the product on the 17th November 2016 and they arrived on the 26th November 2016, I was majorly shocked by how speedy the international shipping was this time round.

The downside, I ended up having a custom fee of £21.02 which is roughly 26.35$ (a LOT right?). Anyhow! Both came in super cute packaging, nothing damaged, no problems. The only thing I noticed was the quality of the lip product container wrapping was easy to chip (the gold bit on the tube).

So the shades?
Khlo$
This is a very nude shade matte lipstick but more of a dark nude, it somewhat reminds me of the Literally GLOSS Kylie offers. The shade is my second favorite, it stayed on my lips pretty much all day but did go patchy after the first hour-two hours of wear. Plus I noticed every-time I took a sip out of a drink it left that horrible stain on the cup!

Okurrr
This product is a bright pink shade matte lipstick its probably suited to a blonde, or pale girl (but then again I'm just thinking of barbie) which is what this shade reminds me of. It's going to be one of the least favorite out of the collection, but that's purely down to the colour not suiting myself and something I wouldn't wear often.

A deep red tone super pigmented and honestly I've just fallen in love with the shade, it's 100% suited to dark haired people like wow! It didn't seem to patch too much and the colour stayed somewhat even (as long as you didn't touch the lips, or drink) else you might have to top up. But this is by far my favorite out of all the products in the set.

Damn Gina
This was the product out of the four I was most excited for, purely because I'm a major gloss lover. But because it looked so delicate and pretty, on the images I had seen of swatches its a light pinky, glittery, clear shade. But when I applied it onto my lips, honestly I felt like it didn't do much in terms of colour. If anything, it looked like I just had a clear, glitter gloss over the top of my natural lip colour (very disappointing).

Overall, I'm rather impressed with Kylie Cosmetics first off she is now offering special prices (bundle packs you save money). Free shipping over X amount total cost, and speedy delivery. The only downside left with Kylie Cosmetics is the custom fees us international buyers are left with (which some companies don't seem to get there customers this charge??), and the fast sell out leaving us to rush, fight and try our hardest to be one of the first to purchase.

As part of the Lush Halloween range they offered a super glittery sparkle pumpkin bubble bar which had a small twig in the center. I thought this was super cute to begin with as I loved it was all glittery, although when you pick it up it got glitter EVERYWHERE! And I mean everywhere, this was probably one of the messiest bubble bars I'ved used so far it did get all over my clothes, fingers AND you have to rinse out the bath once you've used as it leaves a glitter stain in the bath tub!

I used half of this for one bath, and the other half for another time - Usually with bubble bars I find it easy to break up but with this one it was hard, I found it stiff to break into two from the center and ended up pulling sides of it apart for one bath then the center for another. After crumbling under warm water in my bath it instantly gave off a orange colour with the glitter falling into the water. It let out small cute bubbles and left the water with a shimmer of glitter (which on the bonus didn't stick to my skin!!), it smelt very fruity and reminded me a little of juices you can buy like lime - A fresh scent, but once I crumbled into the water I did notice it lost its smell a little.

This nail varnish was bought off Barry M last year during the clothes show live, this colour reminds me of mermaids for some reason.... It is a very light blue filled with glitter, although the colour may be perfect it is very light, when you apply to your nails I would suggest doing adleast two coats to get the best affect.

I know this was only a short post, please leave your feedback below! :-) Xo

Benefit eye-shadow - " Snow Bunny "

This eye shadow was bought in a gift set sometime last year, it is a lust duster eye-shadow in a shimmer glitter white. I wouldn't rate the way of which this product is manufactured, simply because when you remove the lid it is has several small holes where you shake and the product falls out. However this product doesn't have a shut and open as normal ones would do therefore when you put the lid back on if you move the product around (like if you put in a draw and open/shut the draw a few times) more of the product gets shook out. Resulting in when you open the lid there is a large amount overflowing and usually falls out being a waste.

However, I LOVE the color of this product, the pigment gives a glitter and shimmer effect which makes your eyes look perfect. You can use this product on it's own or over the top of you eye-shadow to make it stand out more. It can be used for an everyday look or used for a night out clubbing look.
