Galaxy Chic Palette Review



My lovely friend Abbi from work tagged me in a post from BH Cosmetics a few weeks ago, and it was advertising this awesome baked eye shadow palette called 'Galaxy Chic' - I needed it. She kindly sent me the link and off I went on a mission (and a partially empty bank account) to have a browse. OH MY HOGWARTS.

I'd never heard of the brand before, so it was interesting to look about, but I was there for one item only... It's an American site, so everything is in dollars, which meant I had to do some maths here to figure out the exchange price - but it all works out as super cheap and affordable, even with the shipping fee to the UK.







I had to buy it and I've been using it every day for the past two weeks. I purchased it while it was on a Winter Deal on the site for $8, but you can currently get it for $12/£9!

There are 18 colours, all in really pigmented colours and baked to perfection. It takes very little product to get a desired effect, and you can do so many amazing looks with it. You can use a dry or wet brush for this as well and both look amazing! I've been loving Cosmic and Milky Way quite a lot this week, but I also adore Mars and Mercury! The best thing is that with such variety and high quality of product, I know this will last a really long time, which I am super duper happy about!


You can see some more of the palette in a cheeky little video I done!



Have you tried this before or any other BH Cosmetics products? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Monthly Favourites #10 - January

It's that time of the month where I look back and share some of my fave things with you! Ranging from songs, TV and movies, to whatever lies in the random section!

Song
I seemed to be a bit behind with the music after Christmas, but this is one song that has been sticking out to me over the past few weeks! I love the tune, the lyrics and it's just a really good song!



TV Show
I have loved this show since 2013, and managed to catch up with it all before the final season and the ending so none of it was spoiled for me!


Movie
Having seen Spectre a couple month ago, I still didn't like it as much as Skyfall! So I ended up re-watching it this month and it was just as amazing as I remember it! How was this 4 years ago???



Random Section
So for the random section, I've gone with this image of my Dad with a hot tub! He's always liked the finer things in life - even if he can't always afford them - and he spotted this and liked it so much I had to take his picture! We got to spend a whole day together as I had a random Saturday off work, and that's the first time I've seen him for more than a few hours, for MONTHS.



Hope you enjoyed these faves for January! What have you loved this month from each category? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe!

Lovi Sweets


My sister Ash has been after some sweets for what seems like YEARS. All we could remember was they were hard boiled sweets with a soft/jelly-like centre and tasted fruity. We've searched countless sweet shops, supermarkets and those 'old style' sweets shop near every pier and beach we've been near. Yet we never found them.

HOWEVER, after some genius on Facebook posted something similar, I went on a hunt for said sweets, and came across Lovi Sweets. The sweets are called Fruit Bon Bons (or Fruitinettes) and I had to buy some!







I had a little browse and added in some Strawberry Millions as well and this is what I always have from sweet shops! There are load of different types of confectionery available with set weights, and you can just add them into your basket and buy them!

They arrived in a nice sturdy box with what I call 'fake hay' packaging, and the sweets are wrapped in their own little cellophane bags with the brand's logo stuck on it to seal it shut. They'd be ideal to give away as gifts as they're all ready to go!

I'll definitely be buying some more from Lovi Sweets soon as they have such a selection and the prices are great! Also, go check them out on Twitter and show them some love!

What sweets do you love and have you heard of the Fruit Bon Bons before? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
