Pia Jewellery

I love my jewellery, you might have guessed if you have seen my Pinterest feed or some posts ive done over the last few months, so when asked if I would like to review something from Pia, I immediately accepted. Pia Jewellery sell a wide range of jewellery, bags, purses and gifts, infact you will find pretty much something you like in every category.

To look at, Pia Jewellery is simply stunning, you only have to look at the website for a few seconds before you begin adding things to your basket. Each item is beautifully made and presented online, so when it arrives to you beautifully gift-wrapped it is still very much impressive.  All of Pai's jewellery conforms to European safety standards, including the control of nickel and all earrings are hypoallergenic - this pleases me because I have an issue with products containing high amounts of nickel, I turn green!


I was kindly sent two pairs of silver earrings**, one which made me cackle as it hosts a saying that I use quite a lot and another which are quite exquisite. 




These sterling silver ovals are engraved with the message ‘in one ear’ and ‘out the other’ which I say alot to Steve when he isn't listening to what I am telling him. In the ear they have a slight dangle on them which is around 24mm from the hole downwards.  I like these earrings because they are quirky, they are a nice shape and size and cost just £20.

The second pair are Sterling silver rose studs with pink pearl centres and just look at them truly divine and the kind of earrings that you can wear during the day or should you have an evening event, they can add that little touch of class to your outfit.





Retailing at just £20, again I think these are an absolute bargain and I wear them quite a lot right now as they suit every outfit I have worn and as someone who has small ears, they are not too big that they look even smaller.
I have my eye on a few other items on the Pia website currently the Sterling silver star pendant with a tiny star plated in rose-gold and the star charm bracelet which are just amazing and retail for £25 and £28 respectively - total bargains and definitely on my wishlist.



Have you ever owned any jewellery from Pia? Is there anything that really takes your fancy?

Look Fantastic November Beauty Box

Today see's the LookFantastic November Beauty Box on my blog and I have to say it is pretty fantastic yet again. For £15 you are sent a great selection of handpicked, must have beauty fixes wrapped in a beautifully presented box and delivered straight to your door. The beauty box will always include a minimum of six products and will offer a selection of skin, hair, cosmetic and body products, catering to every kind of beauty lover. I have had both the September and October boxes and I was really excited about getting my hands on the November box and I wasn't disappointed.


The first item in the box which I was chuffed with is the HAND CHEMISTRY Intense Youth Complex Hand Cream, 30 mls. (Full size 100ml for £18.99) As far as I am concerned this is the best hand cream I have ever used and having just run out, I am glad I already have another one to use, not that I am ever short of hand cream, but you can never have too many.

Next is some make-up and this time it is the New CID i - crayon. Full Size £14.00 and I have shade Strawberry Souffle which is not perhaps a shade I would ever buy but I am still looking for my perfect red and I am going to give this a go. The crayon is a multi-use one being both a lip and cheek tint.

Then we have the Monu Recovery Balm. 30 ml (Full size 50ml. £22.50). I have tried quite a few Monu products over time and have always been impressed with them, this is one I havent tried so I am looking forward to giving it a go. Said to be a soothing balm for sensitised and stress skin. What I love is that you can apply it at night before going to bed and wake up with super smooth skin in the morning. So this I am really looking forward to trying.

Nuxe are next with their NUXE Nuxellence Jeunesse (Youth and Radiance Revealing Fluid. 15ml (Full size 50 ml, £47.50) when I first looked at it, I have to admit, I wasn't too sure what it was, so I Googled it to find that it is an anti-ageing fluid that claims to improve the skins feel and texture and give it a big boost of radiance.  I have only used a few Nuxe products, so I am looking forward to trying it.

The next product is the Eve Lom Cleanser. 30ml (Full size 100ml. £55.00). I have had a really small trial pot of this before which didn't have much in it, so I am chuffed I have a decent sized tub to try. Said to be a multi-tasking marvel which removed every last trace of make-up, even waterproof mascara, it also decongests, tones and gently exfoliates the skin!

The final item in the box is the rather fabulous GLAMGLOW Youth Mud Face Mask. 15g. (Full size 50g. £49.99). I am a huge fan of this mask having had a sample and raved about it HERE and because I loved it so much, I am chuffed to be able to have more.

I absolutely love this box, I think it is fabulous, so juch so that I have already ordered the December box and cannot wait to get my hands on it.  For me this box goes from strength to strength and manages to impress me every time.

Have you tried a Lookfantastic box yet?  What do you think to this one, is there anything you really want to try?
