Eye shadow Palette

Hi Girls! So a couple of days ago I received this eye shadow palette from Beautyuk Cosmetics to review and share what I think with you guys.



Beautyuk are a UK company (hence the name), the company specializes in making trendy cosmetics that are affordable.The company is a family run business and have plans to become the number one colour cosmetic brand on the market.Most of you guys from the UK or live in the UK probably have came across this brand before, but with me living in Ireland this is the first time I tried any of the products from this company.



Beautyuk have an online store, you can visit there website here, you can also purchase there products from Superdrug, Internacionale and Select which can be found within the UK.



They have a wide variety of cosmetics - Face, Eyes, Lips, Nails & Accessories.



So ... the sales executive of the company, Sara sent me this palette to try out and to do a review for you guys.




The palette Sara sent me is this Twilight palette, there are 5 other palette's to choose from like this one all with different colours.
The first thing I did when I received this palette was swatch each one of the colours, and I was so surprised how pigmented these shadows are, they are amazingly pigmented.
I did try out a eye look using these products, the colour's blended really well, as I said the eye shadows were very pigmented and I didn't find that the colour's creased that much after hours of wearing them.




This Twilight pallet includes black and grey shade's, navy, blue and purple and also a white shade. I think this pallet is perfect if you wanted to go for a smokey look, and I also really liked the name of this pallet.


The pallet includes a total of 10 eye shadow's and also includes an applicator which is good if you don't have any makeup brushes, there's also a little mirror on the palette which would be perfect if you were on the go.


I was amazed at the price of this product also, these pallets cost £3.49 which is my opinion is a total bargain ! We all know cheap doesn't necessarily mean good but this product is really good.


The shipping to Ireland was also very quick, I received this in less than a week which was really fast.


Another reason why I really liked this company is because the customer service was so good, the girl I was in contact with was so friendly and helpful.


Ive looked at other products on there online store and all the price's are very affordable for good quality makeup you can't go wrong with the price.


One eyeshadow did get damaged in the post, but that wasn't a big problem, other than that everything was perfect :)


If you guys havent already tryed out products from this company, I really recommend that you do, it was the first time I tried out any of there products but I'm really looking forward to buying and trying out more products from Beautyuk.


Let me know if you have ever tryed any products from Beautyuk and what you think, I'd really like to hear what you guys think :)








Disclaimer; I was sent this product from the sales executive of Beautyuk cosmetics for free for review purposes only , all my opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own opinion. I was not paid to do this review.

Original Source Lime Shower Gel 'Review'

Original Source are an independent UK company, they have created a Hugh range of powerful products to recharge and refresh you, they have something for everyone, from shower gels and bathing products, to haircare, handwashes and deodorants.



Original Source are a member of the Aromatherapy Trade Council and also work closely with the Vegan Society. There products are packed with essential oils and natural extracts. Original Source are not fans of flying there products here,there and everywhere, they source and produce as much as they can in the UK, and you can find some of there products here in Ireland too.



You can find there products at Morrisons, Boots, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Superdrug and Asda.

Here in Ireland you can find some of Original Source products in Tesco and Boots.



Original Source has changed it’s packaging on numerous occasions, but has always retained a very clear and distinctive branding which does a successful job of standing out from the competition on the increasingly busy personal care shelves.



Original Source shower gels contain a wide range of extraordinary natural ingredients, carefully chosen for their supremely stimulating effects,



here are some of there shower gels they offer;

















& here are some of there bathing products they have ;








here are some of there shampoo's and conditioners ;










So onto the review ; I have never used any of Original Source products except for there shower gels,

Ive used there shower gels many of times and love most of the ones I tryed, my favourite is there lime one and that's the one I reach for the most when shopping.







The first time I came across this product I was amazed by the smell, a very attractive lime smell which is really really nice. It says on the bottle that each bottle of this product includes 40 squeezed lime's so you can imagine how good this smells, if you like the smell of limes.


This shower gel lathers up very well and quickly and instantly left me feeling refreshed and clean.
This shower gel is suitable for sensitive skin which was really helpful to me, because my skin is very sensitive and dry, after my shower my skin was left feeling very soft.
The fragrance of this shower gel lingered on my skin for quite some time after my shower which I really liked because it's a lovely fruity clean smell.
It's the perfect product to wake you up in the morning, it really awakes you, so I wouldn't recommend to use this before going to bed, best to use in the morning when your on the go.


I also love the way this bottle is designed, its different than most other shower gels, the price is also amazing too I usually buy this product in Tesco and it costs around 1.90euro , I recently bought this product in Boots and it was around the same price too so its a very affordable prize.


I would recommend this to everybody - if you like a strong fruity smelling shower gel you will definitely love this shower gel, and you can't go wrong with the price of this - its very affordable.

Lush, Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream.



I will admit that the chest area is often neglected when it comes to skin care love. Lush has created a solution Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream.


Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream is packed full of meadowsweet infusion and tiger lily petals to firm your breasts while helping your girls fight the forces of gravity. They added beeswax, almond and avocado oils to soften your cleavage and leave it smelling like a fresh floral bouquet of orange blossom, rose, jasmine, and ylang ylang. This amazing cream is for everyone, of any size, any background, any gender.
With ingredients like that, I’m wondering if this special cream really can add some lift, what do you ladies reckon ?
