Front Cover Cosmetics

0 komentar

You will no doubt recognise Front Cover Cosmetics from the shelves in your local Boots Stores. 
I could hardly contain my excitement when I received their Baked Powder Collection to try out for you. 

Baked Powder Collection £18
 

Inspired by pretty lace themes, embellished details, pearl accents with chiffon and soft veils of colour. Think pretty powder pinks, blues and greys at Alexis, sultry smoke grey eyes and nude lips at Emilio Pucci, starry make-up with dark tones and midnight hues at Rodarte. 

The Baked Powder Collection Features 18 baked powder eye and cheek shades, Shadowline and brushes for 2012's update on the smoky eye.


The Front Cover sets provide you with everything you will need to create professional results i your on home, with photographic guides and easy to follow instructions.  

The eyeshadow quality is out of this world, not a washed out colour in sight just highly pigmented, intense shades that will give even the most shadow shy woman a fantastic result! 

For those of you who may have never seen Front Cover the one thing I really want to tell you about is the Shadowline that comes in this kit.


Shadowline is a fabulous product that works well with all eye shadows and also loose powders to turn them into eyeliner, it's like magic & once you test it out you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

I created just one of the possible looks you can create with this set, a gorgeous striking purple design, starting by taking the eye shader brush in the box i picked out one of the light shades from the Apricot & Cream Baked Eye and Cheek Colours in the box... 

I swept the colour right across my eyelid, right up to the brow bone. Just to give myself a nice base and to help the liner stand out.

Then using the Shadowline in the kit I scooped out a little of the Black Hole Eye Shadow and mixed it into a paste on my hand...

 Then starting from the inside corner of my eye I swept the liquid colour along the base of my lashes...


Using the Shadowline again I scooped out some of the Dotty Eyeshadow and mixed into a paste using the Shadowline Brush...


Sweeping the beautiful lilac hue across my lid, it compliments the Black Hole so well...

 

 And voila! 
So simple yet so effective, I then finished the look off with a sweep of the Apricot & Cream palette using the enclosed brush, which gives a gorgeous warm shimmering tone across the cheek bone. 


As the weather gets (hopefully) sunnier and warmer I cant wait to experiment with the other amazing colours in this kit, and the results of which I will share as soon as I have played around. 


The quality of the make up is fantastic, and it really does allow you to achieve professional results at home, so nights out will never be stressful again when you have such an easy to follow guide & all the tools to create the perfect look. 

Even the boxes are made to be shown off, this one looks like a book.

Check out the stunning range of sets on offer at the Front Cover Cosmetics Website, I hear that a on line store will be up and running soon!

Magento Commerce

I was kindly sent a bottle of LP Skin Therapy's Untired Eye Cream, my regular readers will know how much my dark circles bug me and I was really keen to try this out.

You may well recognise the name of the brains behind LP Skin Therapy

Dr Linda Papadopoulos

'Dr. Linda Papadopoulos is one of the most well-known and respected psychologists working in the UK today.

Her 15 year career as a research scientist and practising psychologist has led to her work being published in some of the most well-regarded academic journals and given rise to a high profile media-career. Her observations regarding the psychology behind news and current events are syndicated by the press and discussed by television and radio networks, both in Britain and in the USA'

The Untired Eye Cream is just one of the fab products on offer from the LP Skin Therapy Range, and is priced at just £25 for 15ml,  you need just one tiny pump to get results so it will last you for a good 6 months so the value for money is fantastic.


The cream melts into the skin, and contains tiny particles of diamond so it really brightens the delicate under eye area, they also act as a colour corrector too so it really lifts those dark circles.
Packed with rich antioxidant properties & anti ageing goodness this cream is a little tube of magic!

Here are some comparison photo's for you to see the magic this stuff has worked on my eyes..

Before Use                                After
Peepers Before                            & After!


I really feel this stuff has made a difference to my eyes, and for the price it shows that you dont have to break the bank in order to make a difference, I'd be excited to see if the other products in the range live up to their names as much as this one has. The products cater for all your problem skin area's, providing a luxury skincare brand at high street prices.

 My personal fave from the site is this gorgeous 'Lucy' Grey Bandage Dress, inspired by the stunning Miss Meck from TOWIE.


Priced at just £114.99 it's so affordable & will flatter almost any figure, perfect for any nightout, just team it up with a pair of killer heels and your fave clutch.

I wanted to feature some of the hottest pieces from CelebBoutique, If you haven't already had a peep at whats on offer, then get your self over to the CelebBoutique Website, I must pre-warn you, have your card poised & ready (or the loving man in your life's, if he truly loves you then he wont mind buying you a few items of clothing, will he?!) as you wont be able to leave without some gorgeous clothing falling into your basket & checking out.....

Perfect for the upcoming summer (hopefully) is this Lucy Tailored Blazer available in every colour you'd ever need but I really feel for this season this pink one would suit almost everyone and it can be dressed up with a tailored pencil skirt, or down with jeans, its gorgeous!
The tailoring makes the detail on the blazer really pop, and also give a real designer look, at under £100 its a steal and an essential (machine washable) wardrobe staple for all of you!

This would be perfect for daytime wear with your fave denim shorts, or dress it up with a pair of leggings and of course high heels!
Priced at just £24.99, this super soft drape tee is a must have.

As colour blocking is a HUGE trend this season , you can count on CB to have it in the bag, there are so many ways to colour block using their fab selection of dresses but this one has to be my fave...

The amazing Andrea V Neck Bandage Dress



This dress oozes glamour and will hold you in, in all the right places.
With the hot pink line drawing attention down your body this is the ultimate figure flattering bandage dress for most shapes and sizes, without having to go for the black dress option!
This beautiful dress allows us all to add a block of colour to our wardrobes, and again you could team it up with a nice tailored blazer (like the Lucy one) or just glam it up for a night out with your fave killer heels. Again so affordable at just £109.99, and this dress will serve you for many an occasion I'm sure.

Your luxury shopping experience doesn't just end there as every item comes with a free gift box, and even the detail that goes into the packaging is beyond me, written on the side is this caption...


"Inside this box is a dress that will look & make you feel like a celeb"

I love a good bit of packaging, and I really feel this is what sets CB apart from other companies, the attention to every detail from the easy to navigate website, the the luxury quality of the items, and even down to the packaging, not to mention their no quibble returns policy & the shipping worldwide, so even if you go on your holiday & forget a dress simplyt order & CB will deliver to your hotel anywhere in the world within 2-3 days, thats what I call service.

Kandee Shoes, Sweet Treats With NO Calories!

0 komentar

 

For those of you who read my blog regularly you will know I am a huge Kandee Shoes fan, I have featured Kandee a few times on my blog before, but if you missed any of my previous posts you can check them out: Launch of the LOUD collection, LOUD Launch Pictures, My First Kandee, My New Kandee

If you are not lucky enough to own a pair of these delicious heels then you have not yet experienced the best heels money can buy. 

Kandee was brought to life by the heel genius himself Mr Kandee, or Josh Wayman as he is really known, I am sure you'll agree that he has brought women's heel dreams to life worldwide. 

Here is a little bit of background info on Kandee: 

Wayman launched Kandee in 2010 with a mission to create footwear that is the ultimate eye-candy. Since its inception just over one year ago, Kandee has garnered cult followings in London, Spain and Italy, and global fashion icons Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and Cheryl Cole have all been spotted in Kandee. The brand also caught the attention of major fashion publications, with editorial coverage in Vogue, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, OK!, Star, Look and Fabulous, as well as top blogs like Chiara Ferragni’s The Blonde Salad and Ashley Madekwe’s Ring My Bell. Kandee was most recently seen on the catwalk at Barcelona Fashion Week 2012 and the previous year debuted at London Fashion Week 2011 alongside Halston, Miu Miu and Luella.

 Celebrities, press, consumers and designers alike are in a frenzy to satisfy their sweet tooth with Kandee. Designer Josh Wayman, the force behind the highly coveted shoes, has one foot ahead of the others in the industry... literally. At only twenty-two years old, Josh, has just launched his fourth and highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2012 shoe collection “LOUD” at a prestigious celebrity event in Central London. The current vibrantly-hued, urban Spring/Summer Kandee shoe line is described by Wayman as “fearless and sexy" and is his biggest and boldest collection yet.

AmyC
One of Josh's most recent creations was this amazing Pink Collection, with 10% of the proceeds from each pair going to the Pink Ribbon Foundation, choose from either the gorgeous...





If these pink beauties are good enough for Miss Amy Child's then they are good enough for me, and the fact that Kandee donate money from each sale just makes me love them as a company even more, I mean do you recall any other shoe company doing such a good deed?!

If you haven't been over to the sweet shop then have a peek, you wont believe your eyes, and I would strongly advise you have your credit card poised and ready (or the loving man in your life's, I  mean if he truly loved you he surely wouldn't mind you getting a pair or 2 would he?!) I can promise you, you'll find at least one pair you simply cannot live without.

I have shortlisted my absolute faves for you...click on the shoe name for a direct link to the page where you can buy them!

All of these styles are from the most recently launched LOUD S/S Collection inspired by your fave Kandee! 





Kandee heels come as standard with a not for the faint hearted 6.1 inch heel, and the designs on each and every pair is truly out of this world. 

I LOVE Kandee, just because of the fact that they allow you to make a statement, yet they still make you look classy & fabulous. 

You will always get people stopping you in the street asking you..."Where did you get those shoes from?!" Kandee heels are true show stoppers and your outfit wont really come into it because all the attention will be on your feet, finally a pair of shoes that is guaranteed to cause shoe envy everywhere you go. 

My personal collection consists of just 2 pairs but I love both of them and every time I wear them I feel amazing. I have the sold out 'Diamonds' which literally adorn your feet in sparkling jewels and the spike detail really makes them a little bit feisty, yet the glitter soles still keep them super girly and feminine.


And my newest additions are the gorgeous Pinki, I adore the furry material and super bright pink colour on these, again the tiny spikes give then the RAWR factor, all the while the crystal covered heels and glitter soles make them super feminine. 

 

 I truly believe Mr Wayman & Kandee are going to revolutionise the shoe industry, as the barriers are already pushed way past anything rival brands may have come up with, and I know with time this is only going to keep on wowing us all, I know later this year Josh has already got a handbag collection in the pipeline, and I know I will probably want every bag he comes up with! 

Check out the sweet shop now at The Kandee E-Boutique, the website is mobile compatible too so you can even sweet shop on your travels! 
If you are a Tweeter then get following the heel genius himself @mrkandee
And follow @KandeeShoes for the best customer service's you'll ever find, they get back to you so fast & even provide aftercare advice for your new sweet feet treats.
Also keep up with the Kandee News and join the Facebook Page

I cant declare my love for Kandee anymore but these heels are addictive and you wont be able to stop at just one pair. Be ahead of the game & own the heels that you wont see everyone wearing on a night out. 
Be bold, be brave, and don't be scared to embrace a show stopping pair of these heels.

My motto is "Life is short, so buy the Kandee"

What do you think of the amazing Kandee?
