Hi Loves,

I don't know about you but sleep is something of a pain for me, when I was younger I could literally sleep for England 12-14 hours was easy! nowadays I'm lucky if I can get 4 and that's usually broken by at least one trip in the night to the cold tiled space.  I am no Maggie Thatcher and four hours is not cutting it;  it means that by 4.30 in the afternoon I dare not sit down or I will without even realising be drifting off, also I can't help thinking that everything to do with health and maintaining wellness always put a good 7 or 8 hours at the top of the list, no wonder I feel like an empty old shuck in the afternoons!


Beatitude are not a new brand to me, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the Christmas Comfort Candle and a small sample of Bath Oil you can read about those here.
This time around I have been trying out a combination of Beatitude Peace Pillow Spray & Room Spray alongside Beatitude Peace Dispersing Bath Oil.

Beatitude Peace

Let's just start with how beautiful this bottle of Aromatherapy Bath Oil looks - it's like having a bottle of very expensive perfume sitting on the bathroom shelf. The 50ml bottle will provide you with about 10 baths you really only need the tiniest amount and the room is filled with relaxing aroma. The oil disperses into the water leaving no greasy residue but manages to fully moisturise and soften your skin while bathing.
Simply lie back close your eyes and let the combination of essential oils of Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Mandarin, Petitgrain and Cedarwoood clear your mind of any of the day's stresses and strains, when treating yourself to an Aromatherapy bath I think it's best to announce to the household that you are taking a bath, in other words "please leave me alone" you need this time to unwind and calm any racing thoughts that are going through your head.  Before entering the bath I gave my pillows a spritz with the Peace Pillow Spray and added a few sprays to the bedroom and closed the door.

Beatitude Peace

I honestly wish I could bottle the feeling of laying in that fragrant water, wrapping in a warm dressing gown and entering the bedroom!  It was like a spa experience like no other, you are literally enveloped in aromatherapy fragrances that melt away anything that could possibly be causing you stress. 

Bingo!  I slept like a baby, I didn't even make one trip to the loo which in itself is a miracle, I don't remember dreaming or turning over on if fact anything at all!
I woke naturally after 9 hours!!!!!!!!  yep 9 hours it was like being knocked out with some sort of pill, I honestly couldn't believe it.  I think if you were to do the ritual every single night it may lose the impact, but for me 2-3 times a week will be perfect, in fact it will be quite an exciting thought to look forward to during the day knowing that whatever the day throws at you will float out of the window when you set up your bedtime ritual.

I know people look forward to going to bed, but getting excited about it is a whole new novelty for me.

Hi Loves,

When it comes to new releases I honestly can't keep up with Revolution Beauty, it seems as though there is something new a couple of times a week, when these arrived all I knew is that they were an upcoming new release. I had no idea of when so I just played with them until after I saw they had become available and here we are! 5 tubes of bling that are the easiest things to apply ever, even for the most inexperienced. 




At one end you have a foil like shimmer which feels wet on application yet dries down really quickly, you can use the applicator for a heavy application but I personally found it better to apply a little with the applicator and then go over with a brush or fingers for a smooth shimmery look.  For 100% best use I would always apply a primer under these as the pigment is so good they can leave a little staining to the lid. Another newbie from Revolution is the Cut Crease primer which is literally fantastic, your make up is staying put regardless of what you get up to!

Flip the tube and in the other end you have the complimenting glitter shade, these glitters are fairly chunky although they don't drop and end up all over your face there is a chance that you will be able to feel them while wearing, this didn't bother me at all and the thing I loved about these is that you can simply put on a single shade of shimmer to your lid for daytime and then touch it up at night with a bit of sparkle, again I found these easier to apply using fingers and you also have the ability to add additional coats if you really want some really strong looking bling.

E.L.F Lip Exfoliator

Hiya Darlins,

Do you scrub?  no I don't mean floors we are talking lips, your kissing apparatus! or your chatting apparatus whatever works for you :)

Well, as much as I am obsessed by exfoliation, body brushing, body scrubs, face scrubs, facial brushes etc I have to admit to ignoring my lips, until I discovered E.L.F Lip Exfoliators. 

Shaped just like a lipstick these scrubs are applied the same as a lipstick and massaged in using a circular motion, the balm which is infused with Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Avocado, Grape and Jojoba Oil melts onto the lips removing traces of dead skin and as you wipe away with a damp cotton pad it leaves your lips looking and feeling plump and smooth, once you start with these I promise it's easy to become addicted as you will love the look and feel of your lips after you have exfoliated and lipstick applies and looks so much better.

I find these are brilliant for use at night, exfoliate, apply a balm and just see the difference overnight.

Hi Loves,

This Fragrance from Mary Kay is described as whimsical, fruity-floral scent is inspired by women who find enchantment in the everyday. I'm not sure about finding enchantment in everyday I personally think that's a huge task however, this fragrance is lovely, light soft and very very feminine.

The Faceted turquoise glass bottle topped with a purple flower shaped stopper reminds me of a single flower in a vase, really pretty.  When this arrived I didn't expect to like it at all, I am a bit of a fragrance snob, having turned down offers of celebrity fragrances in the past. My main loves are Penhaligons & Jo Malone, that said and much to my surprise I have been having a little spritz of Enchanted Wish on an almost daily basis.

• Top notes: granny smith apple, orange oil Brazil, white pineapple, candied petals
• Middle notes: stargazer lily, peony, fresh ozone, passion fruit
• Bottom notes: brown sugar, warm amber, illuminating musk

SENSSE FACIAL CONTOUR DEFINER

Hiya Loves,

Let's start by getting the elephant in the room out of the way.  The look of this tool could be considered by some to resemble some sort of adult toy!  Not that I would know, but a lot of you naughty girls had some very cheeky comments when I posted pictures of this to my Instagram some time ago when it first arrived!  It did cause quite a giggle. HOWEVER we are grown up mature women who need to stop giggling like school children and concentrate on the job in hand (no pun)

SENSSE FACIAL CONTOUR DEFINER

The Sensse Facial Contour Definer does exactly what it says, the shape of the rollers fit perfectly along the jawline and are designed to work your facial muscles to relieve tension, boost blood circulation, stimulate collagen production and activate lymphatic drainage system to detoxify the skin,  smoothing and reducing puffiness in the chin/jaw area to leave you looking more defined.   I flipping love this thing!  not firstly because it's gold but for the simple reason IT WORKS!  You hold the device at the centre of your chin apply light pressure and roll it outwards towards your ear, repeat on both sides for 5 minutes a day and you will visibly see the difference in the definition of your chin from the very first use.  Now the thought of standing in a bathroom using this for 5 minutes everyday I couldn't cope with so being the lazy woman I am I do this while watching TV much to the amusement of everyone else, it is the most relaxing thing ever. I don't particularly use any oils or creams when using my little gizmo, quite often I will just pick it up and roll away, I have tied it on a super clean face with facial oil and to be honest it does feel more or a facial but in order for me to guarantee that I use the Sensse daily I like to have it to hand, plus it has it's own handy little storage bag. If I'm honest I'm surprised at just how relaxing this is.  A definite thumbs up from me that's for sure.
