Review & Swatches: Laura Mercier Dark Spell A/W 2013 Collection - Nail Lacquers in Bewitched & Forbidden and Baked Eye Colour in Magical

Sunday, 13 October 2013


I'm rarely attracted to nail polishes in new make-up collections simply because so many brands seem to just throw in a boring token shade and that's it.  For the nail polish collectors amongst us, that's about as exciting as watching paint dry!  So when I spotted that there were two new Limited Edition Nail Lacquers in Laura Mercier's A/W Dark Spell Collection which looked interesting, I knew I had to find out more.

Love Me Beauty Box* (£10 + p&p per month, link)

Do you know what I think is the most important aspect of a well done beauty box?  Variety.  And Love Me Beauty gets it right yet again.  There's a bit of make-up, haircare, skincare and a lovely bath/showertime treat included in October's three menus.  Let's take a closer look shall we?

UK Magazine Freebie: This Works Really Rich Firming Body Lotion with Red

Friday, 11 October 2013


It's been a little while since I picked up any magazine freebies, but this month sees some great beauty ones on the stands.  I had a money off voucher for WHSmith so technically this was a double freebie for me (the best kind of course!), and I bought Red which has a choice of two This Works products.  I went for the Really Rich Firming Body Lotion (generous 50ml size) having seen previous rave reviews of it on various blogs, and it's definitely worth picking up!  Can't vouch for the firming claims just yet, but I love the scent (Jasmine and Figs = Amazing) and it's very hydrating so it's perfect for the upcoming winter months.  

Also available with other magazines this month are samples of REN skincare, L'Occitane hand cream and St Tropez goodies!  I may have to ask my mum if she has anymore WHSmith vouchers lurking in her purse...

Have you picked up any of these magazine freebies this month?
