Too Faced Peaches and Cream Collection Launches at Debenhams

Debenhams is one of my favourite stores without question. Whether I need makeup, perfume, shoes, jewellery or even clothes, it is the first Peaches and Cream Collection and if you are a fan of Too Faced, you will absolutely love this collection. Looking as good as it smells, this collection has everything you will ever need. Whether you like foundations (of which there are 20 shades), primers, eyeshadows, blushes or highlighters there is plenty to be had. 

This post will be a quick overview as to what is in the collection and then over the course of the next few weeks, as I still get to know each product, a full review will appear.

White Peach Palette - Absolutely stunning, this palette hosts a collection of matte, shimmer and glitter shades. Infused with refreshing peach and sweet fig milk, the palette features an assortment of sparkling peach, champagnes, soft pinks and deep plum shades. Priced at £33. 

Peach Blur Finishing Powder - Sitting in the 'Too Pretty To Use' category is Peach blue and it is described as being a translucent all over finishing powder which creates the illusion of perfect skin. Using advanced optical correcting spheres to reflect light, creating a flawless finish that's perfect for every skin tone. Priced at £25.

Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray- Scented with fig milk, this mattifying mist is designed to control oil and shine as well as to give you that perfect finish to your makeup. It sets, it refreshes and it mattifies and it is priced at £27.

Peach My Cheeks Blush - These cream-to-powder blushes are just beautiful to look at and what I like about them is that they are easy to blend for that touch of colour, or should you want to make a statement they can be built up to do just that. As well as being used on the cheeks, you can also use them as a lip tint too.  Six shades in total within the collection and they are priced at £25.

Sweetie Pie Bronzer - Have you ever seen such a beautiful product in your life? If blushes are really not your thing, then this has absolutely everything! Featuring a blush, bronzer and highlighter all in one, not only does it sculpt and give you the perfect glow, it smells just incredible too! Priced at £25.

Peach Perfect Setting Powder - I love a good setting powder and this one, with its peach tint, it is just beautiful. Infused again with the scent of fig milk and peaches, this powder uses advanced optical correcting spheres that help smooth harsh lines and blur imperfections and it works on all skin tones. Priced at £20.

The final product is the Primed and Peachy Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer - This is a cooling primer which works to helps to blur flaws and smooth complexion. Using a brightening peach tint that works on any skin tone for a soft focus finish, it is not only lightweight but also comfortable on the skin and much like everything else in this collection it smells good enough to eat! Priced at £27.

Without question, this is one incredible launch and from the packaging to the scent it is just stunning, but there is something else about this collection which makes me swoon and that is how everything works so well on my skin, how it feels and currently I can't even pick my favourite product from this collection!

REN Magnesium Booster Bath Salts

My favourite range so far from REN is the Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium range (review here) which has a collection of products from bath oils and body scrubs to body washes and hand cream which has the ability to brighten and de-stress skin, boosting vitality and luminosity while calming the mind.

New to the Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium range comes the Booster Bath Salts and I this is the product which has excited me most! Anyone who reads my blog will know that I love baths and I love bath salts, they are totally underrated. For me, being in water is one of the best ways to calm down, de-stress and forget about life.

How can Magnesium help? Magnesium salts from the Zechstein sea that help to relax muscle tension, relieve stress and prepare the body for sleep.  When used in the form of bath salts, they are described as being a Magnesium boost for a restoring and relaxing bath to help relieve muscle tension and promote mind relaxation for a more peaceful sleep. Before using the range, I would have rolled my eyes at such claims, but I am a total convert and these bath salts are just incredible. 

Once the bath water is running, you need no more than three handfuls of the salts, which are fairly large flakes, and scatter them across the water and then slide into this heavenly bath and relax for around 20-30 minutes.  When I use these salts, for an extra treat I add a capful of  Ren’s Atlantic Kelp and Microalgae Anti-Fatigue Bath Oil which is formulated with seaweed oil extract to moisturise and tone the skin, this oil also helps to combat fatigue by detoxifying and relaxing both your body and mind.  I have an incredibly busy and stressful job, as well as running a home, being a wife and blogging as a hobby, so sometimes life does get on top of me and I need a little time out and some definitely some 'Me time' and with this is the perfect way in which to do just that.  

Available now from SpaceNK, these salts are simply incredible and are worth absolutely every single penny of the £28 for 750g and I've got a back up ready and waiting for when I run out.

Microbarbox Gin Fizz & Prosecco

With my birthday on the horizon, I am being plagued by family members as to what I want for my birthday. I am perhaps one of the most indecisive people there is to know which is apparently frustrating but the one thing I do love if Gin and the Microbarbox Gin Fizz & Prosecco set from FindMeAGift is just a perfect present. 

Described as being a bar in a box, this cocktail box has everything you need to create some incredible cocktails and it is so beautifully presented, it almost seems a shame to open it and use anything inside. Given that some of us are still working from home and still having meetings on zoom, it could also be a great virtual cocktail making class and you could be your very own Mixologist.

Inside the box you will find:

• 1 x Sipsmith Gin - 50ml 
• 1 x Bombay Sapphire Gin - 50ml 
• 1 x 1Anno Kent Dry Gin - 50ml 
• 1 x Edinburgh Raspberry Gin Liqueur - 50ml 
• 1 x Le Contesse Treviso Extra Dry Prosecco - 200ml 
• 1 x Bottlegreen Elderflower Cordial - 50ml 
• 1 x Bottlegreen Rhubarb & Ginger Cordial - 50ml 
• 1 x Folkington’s Indian Tonic Water - 150ml 
• 2 x Folkington’s Soda Water - 150ml

When it comes to Gin, my love for it was reignited with the discovery of Pink Gin and it is from there that I have gone on to try other Gin flavours such as Rhubarb, Wild Berry and I now really want to try Chocolate Gin - yes it is a thing.

That aside, this box also features a cocktail menu which shows you how to make some incredible cocktails. I haven't yet managed to turn BeautykingUK into Tom Cruise from the film Cocktail but he does make a mean Raspberry Gin Fizz.

If Gin isn't your thing, then there are other options available which include a Rum Cocktail Box, a Vodka Cocktail Box, a Chocolate Cocktail Box (need), A Whisky Box, A Prosecco Box and I've just discovered a Pink Gin Box (also adds to list). For just £40 (here) this is such an incredible gift and it is one which is slightly different and you can also include a message to give it a personal touch if purchasing for a present. If you are purchasing it for yourself, you can, of course, send yourself a message, I mean why not?

Glossybox Under The Sea - July Edition

The July edition of Glossybox has arrived and this month the theme is 'Under The Sea' and it arrives in the most stunning box which is very mermaid-esque. Featuring products that are designed to give you that beach babe vibe, these are the essentials, worth £49.93* within my box.

SENHOR DO BONFIM Sea Water Hair Spray (£16) - A full-size product at 50ml this spray is said to help you achieve beachy mermaid waves. The bottle which is pink plastic features a cute shell theme which is in keeping with the theme. 

I have never come across the brand before, but I do love sprays like this which help tame my natural waves in the humidity, so I am looking forward to giving it a try.

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy Hand Cream (£8) - This is one of my favourite hand creams from Crabtree & Evelyn and I am glad to have another tube to add to my stash. 

It is infused with a Hydra Marine Blend of Green Seaweed and Red Algae which soothes and nourishes as antioxidant Vitamin E helps to protect against environmental aggressors and then there is a Myrrh Extract which helps to condition the nails and cuticles whilst Shea Butter and Macadamia Nut Oil pamper and regenerate. This is the perfect hand cream if your hands are in need of some TLC because it is so hydrating and moisturising without being greasy.

Oriflame The One-in-5 Wonder Lash Mascara (£9) - A brand I haven't come across for years, this mascara from Oriflame claims that it will smoothly lift, curl, volumise, lengthen and separate the lashes without smudging, smearing, running or flaking which is quite a bold claim.  

With a unique double-sided brush, it is recommended that the short bristles are used to lift and sculpt the lashes and the other side to lengthen and define.  I am glad that the formula of this mascara isn't overly wet and it is a deep black shade.  One the lashes, I didn't notice that it lifted, curled or added any volume when used, but I do have fairly long lashes.  

Inuwet Cheek Shell Brush (£15) - Hailing from Korea, this cruelty-free and Vegan cheek brush is again very much in keeping with the theme of the box with its shell design. 

Perfect for the application of powdered bronzers, blushers and highlighters, the synthetic bristles which are densely packed are incredibly soft on the skin.

Regenerate Enamel Science Toothpaste (£2.50) - This toothpaste, which I've read quite a bit about, features the clinically proven, patented NR-5™ technology. This toothpaste effectively works to recreate the mineral that tooth enamel is made of, working to reverse the early erosion process and protect against cavities, acid and decay.  

Im not too sure how this fits in with the theme of the box, but it is a handy size for travelling and has been added to my travel products ready for Disneyland Paris in a few months time.

The final product in the box is described as being a 'treat' and in short, it isn't, it is a sachet that doesn't contain enough product to gage an opinion as to whether or not you would purchase a full size. 

However, this sachet of Hawaiian Tropic Duo Defence Sun Lotion SPF30 is made with green tea extract to form an Anti-Pollution protective layer on your skin. Described as having a lightweight texture, leaving the skin feeling moisturised and pampered, never greasy it is infused with mango, guava, papaya, and passion fruit. Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Now, this would have been a great addition to the box had it been a better size because it is something you would use on holiday, by the sea or just for some added protection whilst enjoying this glorious UK sunshine.

So there you have 'Under The Sea' from Glossybox to complete there July Edition.  To add to the excitement, GLOSSYBOX has also teamed up with On the Beach to offer a prize draw to win a £500 voucher to spend on a holiday.

GLOSSYBOX’S ‘UNDER THE SEA is available now and you can subscribe from just £10 a month (+P&P) or take advantage of a 12-month subscription, saving £18 at www.glossybox.co.uk.
