Real Techniques - Bold Metals Collection - do you dare to strike bold?

-

One of my New Years resolutions this year was to take more care and attention of the products I use on my face.

Knowing that I'm not getting younger and my mum often reminds me I should be gentle with my face  and skin, I decided to finally splash out on a proper set of brushes and came across Real Techniques.

I researched into where I could buy some and was pleasantly surprised to see a set I could buy from Boots UK, from that moment onwards I literally couldn't wait to purchase them. After visiting several Boots I soon realised this particular set of brushes were not easily accessible and only the larger Boots stores stocked them, I found mine in The Oxford Street branch in London but You can also buy them separately online -if you hurry they are currently on offer! (Each sold separately)

The set I purchased was beautifully packaged and I adore the idividual colour of each brush - Gold for the 100 Arched Powder Brush, Rose Gold for the 300 Tapered Blush and silver for the 200 Oval Shadow.


Why do I rate these brushes?
The brushes are incredibly soft and I find when I am applying makeup it just glides on and I am not scratching or pulling my skin. After using cheaper brushes I can really feel the difference and I am starting to really appreciate my makeup and the process of getting ready.

Real Techniques quote "softer than ever bristles, for our most luxe feel to date" I have to agree with them..they really do feel luxurious!

I mainly use the set at the weekend as I have "weekday  makeup" and "weekend makeup" therefore when the weekend is approaching I can't wait to whip them out and put them to good use and every time I do they make me smile.

Anyone that knows me will know I adore gold/ rose gold and silver accessories so these take pride of place in my bedroom and look fab just laying around!

Although I am a fashion and lifestyle blogger I Couldn't resist sharing my new found love and I also feel these are quite apt for all those beauty loving fashionistas out there :)

Are you a Mamia Mum?

Have you tried the Mamia range from Aldi? I have to admit I love an Aldi shop and have previously bought quite a few items from their Special Buys... who doesn't love the middle aisles of magical items?! Once Aria arrived they were my first choice for nappies for her as they are voted one of the best brands for newborns and not to mention great value! So when they got in touch and asked me to review their Mamia range I was more than excited! Yes a trip to Aldi without making excuses to my husband. I was given £30 and I was shocked with how much I could buy! (pictured above was just half of it) Being a new mum brings all kinds of stresses and you start realising quite quickly that you want the best for your baby but you also need to shop a lot smarter. The Mamia range offers the core essentials you need for your baby, so I was keen to put it to the test. Nappies and Nappy sacks   Whilst I had previously used these, I had recently swapped to another supermarket br...

Every so often I love to share what I have found useful. Why? Because being a mum its hard to know what you need, what you don't need and how much money it all is! So heres a little insight to what I am loving and I feel has been money well spent: Matchstick Monkey: Have you heard of Matchstick monkey? All I can say is move over Sophie the giraffe there is a new animal in town and I love it.. and as you can see so does Aria! I purchased this when Aria was 4 months old and I haven't looked back. It comes in all kinds of colours, its easy for baby to hold and chew/ suck on AND has a bumpy texture behind the monkeys head to help babies with the texture of brushing their teeth. She takes it most places and its easier to sterilise. For me this teething toy is a game changer and I recommend it to everyone with babies!     The IKEA highchair: Highchairs can be bulky/ expensive and hard to choose. I was so put off by the whole process until my...

Mom Life - The Style Bubble baby products i am loving!

I have had a few of my followers suggest I blog more about Mum life and so I've decided to do a round up of my products I am absolutely loving so far! Being a mum to be or a new mum its sooo easy to fall in the trap of buying every single product on the market because you are led into believing you need it all, truth is you don't. So I have decided to help you cut out the crap and purchase the things you do need and not what you are being told to buy! The Snuzpod:  Originally I wanted to be classic and purchase a Moses basket. Its traditional, pretty and my sister had one and my mum had them when we were babies so I wanted to follow their footsteps. My husband suggested otherwise and to be honest I am thankful he did. The Snuzpod is pricey but pricey with perks. It has a mesh side panel, so when you are in bed you can watch baby, quite comforting in the early days as all you want to do is stare at them. If you want you can also remove the side so you connect ...
