Carli Bybel x BH Cosmetics Pallete

Product details:
Carli Bybel Palette - BH Cosmetics

Price: $12.50
Available on BH cosmetics

Review:
By now you will probably know that I am a sucker for a 'beauty guru'/youtuber so the idea of one of my favourites bringing out her very own make up palette sounded just like the sound of my bank card exiting my wallet. 
So I went without haste to the BH Cosmetics site and purchased one, I was even happier when i discovered that it was free international delivery because most US sites charge an arm and two legs to ship to the UK and then you get left with a hefty customs bill on top of that.


The eyeshadow's and highlighters are the perfect shades for me as i love browns and golds, and they are more shimmery than glitter which is right down my alley.

The colour pay off for all are AMAZING, I have swatched the highlighters below and I only lightly touched then then swiped them onto my hand, so left some colour behind.

It has some really great touches like the quote 'Aspire to inspire' written inside just below the convenient mirror and the embossed flowers on each show/highlight. I can really tell that this was made with a passion for the product rather than thrown together.

NARS : Laguna Bronzer

Product details:
NARS Bronzing powder - Laguna

Price: £28-39
Available on ASOS

Review:
I am not a big fan of fake tanning or sunbeds, mostly because I just can't be bothered. So I am a very big bronzer user especially now I am attempting to learn to contour.. note I said 'attempting' because I do not yet have the Kim K/cheekbones chiseled by the gods look down yet.
I had heard a lot about this bronzer from friends and various youtubers so I invested in one.. and as you can see I am now on my second one as my first one is basically empty.

I was planning to swatch it but as I am somewhat brown already it's not the best to show the contrast between my skin and a bronzer. This is perfect if you are of a lighter skin tone that myself or brown looking for a subtle bronze which is how I use it and love it for.
The packaging is a bit annoying because it is a rubbery matte finish so can get dirty in your make up bag, but I can get over that because I adore the colour pay off.

ColourPop x Karrueche Tran

I'm A few months back I put in an order for some ColourPop matte lipsticks after the release of ItsMyRayeRaye's range with them and I fell in love.

Click here to read my review.

I shared my views of them with the people at work and put in a sizable order for everybody, as they don't ship to the UK we thought if we order through a third party together we can at least split the shipping costs.

For more information on shipping to the UK you can email me at: YellauxBusiness@gmail.com

♥

I opted for the three Karrueche x KaePop colours: Kae, Rooch & Chi as well as some colours from their standard line: Lumiere-2 , Limbo , Clueless & Chilly Chili 

These matte Lips are selling for $6 each 

 

(l-r) Kae, Rooch, Chi, Lumiere 2, Limbo, Clueless, Chilly Chili

Colorpop : Ultra Matte Lip

Some of you may have heard of colourpop via various YouTube 'beauty gurus' or Instagram.

I recently managed to get some shipped over from the UK as they don't ship internationally themselves.

♥

I opted for the colours: StingRAYE, Tule and Teeny tiny

♥

Review:

I must say of ALL the liquid lipsticks I've tried thus far these ones are my favourite, I actually forget that I am wearing it until I pass a mirror or something. It stays put well after eating, talking and my bad habit of biting my lips all day.

Karueche Tran has released a collection with them I believe is out now, I've seen some swatches of the colours and they look amazing especially for women of colour.

Christian Louboutin Fifi 100mm..

I decided a year ago to get rid of most of my random/girly/cheap high heels and invest in key pieces that are going to compliment an outfit and hold more value.

I already have some black suede 'So Kate' in 120 mm and Patent black 'Pigalle' in 120 mm, I was really wanting to get myself some nude Loubs and maybe switch out my points for a round toe as I am kind of over the points.

♥

So for Christmas this year I received some nude 'Fifi's in 100 mm, I honestly wanted to burst into tears because well somebody bought me Louboutin's, They were the ones I wanted and got my size right. What a ledge!

Product details:
Christian Louboutin Fifi 100mm - Patent nude

Price: £425 GBP

Review:
They are honestly so beautiful, I think I was expecting them to be Nuder (if that's a word) than they are which is not a bad thing as I am mixed raced the nude is closer to my skin tone than the regular nude tones. I have worn these out on a few occasions now, to night clubs for hours dancing the night away and to dinner.
I can honestly say they are one of my most comfortable pair of heels I have ever owned, I am 100% treating myself to them in black for my birthday.

If you do get these heels please beware of escalators, I got my heels of mine trapped in between the lines of the escalator the first time I wore them out, my heart hurt a little.

I have worn them a few times at the point these pictures were taken

Nike ID : Air Max 90 Solar Red

Over the last few years I have kind of steered away from going out clubbing due to many reasons. So I have been buying more trainers, daytime shoes and investing in key pieces. 

I have wanted to get some custom trainers for a while because lets face it who doesn't want anything that's one of a kind.. exactly, nobody!

♥

So I headed over to the NIKE ID website to create some magic..

Ordering:
The design process is very easy to use and the results update in real time for you to see. So you can have a look how things look in real time before you spend your hard earned cash on them and if your anything like me flick through and try and whittle your options down.

Delivery:
Delivery cost was free as my order was over £50 and it does take approx 30 days as they are custom made but the come properly packaged and they give you a tracking number so you can see the status of the trainer making process and then where there are in the world n relation to your home.

♥

Product:
The colour I chose is called 'Solar Red' and I went for the Air max 90 Hyper fuse as they are a more streamline design from the original Air max 90 which I already have in all black. They were £120 with Free shipping, I think because I am only a size 4 they were abit cheaper than the adult sizes.

To be honest they are bright pink no matter which way or lighting you look at them, no matter how much I try to convince myself that they are 'solar red' they are bright pink in person. So the colour description is slightly misleading on this occasion and the real time picture looks red and they do in some lights when you order them.. see below.

Other than that the trainers are amazing, they came as designed online with my name printed onto the back.

♥

I have done a few outfits to give you an idea of how I add a pop of colour to my outfits with my 'Red' trainers, I will do a look book soon for my rainbow coloured trainers.

I plan to order some actually red ones and possibly another colour or style soon, maybe a birthday treat to myself.

Yves Saint Laurent : Card Holder.

I had been trying to invest in some designer pieces, originally I was after a handbag but at the moment I am far to picky to chose. So I decided to go for small leather goods for now,
I opted for a YSL Card holder, in black leather with the black logo in quilted calfskin. I originally wanted the same finish but with the gold logo but it was constantly out of stock at my local Selfridges, so I went ahead and ordered the all black one online to click and collect at Selfridges in Birmingham.

♥

Item No: TBC

Price: £160 + free postage

Finish details: 11 x 8 cm
Quilted calfskin front and back panel
5 credit card slots
Black varnished metal logo on front flap

♥

Review:
I've had the card holder for over a year now and it still looks as beautiful as when I bought it. I only use it on evenings out and at the weekend as I have a big purse for work and weekdays which has all of my change, loyalty cards and other crap I don't need.
I don't use the front pockets of the holder as I like it to look neat. So the back is enough for me as I usually only take out my credit card and drivers licence. On the rare occasion I do have cash on me I use the middle section to keep one or two notes.

If I have a lot of items in my bag I keep it in the dust bag provided with it just to protect the leather from being scratched by my keys
