This is a totally a love or hate trend something I'm still trying to figure out which one for myself.
Having seen some lovely looking plastic rain macs online, in store and in magazines it brought back memories of a never to be seen in again pink shiny coat from next i wore all the time back in my baby care free days. 
So of course I had to try this trend out for myself turns out it's not for me trying them on in Topshop well we'll just leave that there.

With some gorgeous designs these are my top picks that are around right now that I so wish I could pull off.

Barry M Natural Glow Shadow & Blush Palette | Review

 

This is certainly a palette I didn't need but wanted purely as it has all you need for a get up, get ready out the door kinda look.

First off, the packaging ain't all that, it seems to be made of sturdy plastic coated cardboard housing the products that closes securely using magnetic clasps. There's a mirror on the inside too which is useful for a quick touch up.

It contains two essential matte finishes great for a quick swish of colour in a rush or to build up a semi matte/shimmery look.

The rest of the shades consists of gorgeous golden brown champagne colours not forgetting the pale pink glitter blush (also can be used as a shadow.)

You can make many looks using this palette combining the colours for all occasions, 

it's been useful taking on weekend trips for birthdays and popping in my bag to update my look from day to night.

Formulation wise they're not the best pigmented shades i've come across but you can certainly build the colours up to a desired shade but do beware of fall out.

They do last up to 8 hours on a good day having used a good eyeshadow primer/base but anything after that you can look a bit worse for wear, that just might be the alcohol taking its toll or the stressful day you've had at work though.

I would say this palette is for you if your dabbling into the world of shadows or if your buying as part of fun loving gift, its also travel friendly making it a perfect back up for a weekend of all sorts.

MonuSpa Skincare Professionals Enriched Body Cream Review

 Recently I actually won a twitter giveaway from the lovely people over at Monu Skincare Professionals, I couldn't wait to get my hands on & try some things from this new brand.

Having looked a bit further into who they are, what they're all about. 

The products & image they portray seems incredible.

They're not just products you can buy in the likes of your local supermarket the whole Monu Skincare Brand is super desirable and of course a luxury that's worth a try you can  buy online at feelunique or here at the monushop online also if that's not good enough you can even experience them in your local Elite Salon, Spa or Skincare Specialists.

Just some of the qualities they believe in,

All products are made from the finest locally sourced natural ingredients, using no synthetic perfumes or colourings. 

Products are NOT tested on animals,  packaging they use is even 100% recyclable.

I could go on forever, now on to the good stuff...

Body cream's. 

I own lot of too many in fact, so as I get bored easily of smelling like strawberry's day in day out, I'm always on the hunt for something new to add into my daily skincare regime.

This is where the MonuSpa Enriched Body Cream fits perfectly.

First impressions, can I just say that the lime green and white packaging looks so fresh & sleek, keeping it simple works well 10/10.

Onto the goodness,

It contains orange, lemon, geranium and rose essential oils giving a very delicate floral scent with a burst of citrus peaking through.

Giving a fresh after scent which isn't over powering.

The Cocoa butter formula gives dehydrated skin like mine a more softer feeling also an ingredient in there called marine collagen helps over time to keep skin smooth as well as firm I can feel that my skin is less rough after 2 weeks use already. 

Can't say it's helped with the bingo wings just yet though!

Applying onto skin after a hot bath or shower is best as the heat helps open my pores so this can soak right in.

 Now I usually find body moisturisers take way too long to sink in leaving me feel like a sticky mess but an amazing thing with the monuspa body cream it takes around 5 minutes to be absorbed leaving you without that dreaded greasy sticky residue most creams leave behind for the next 24 hours.

Overall this amazing body cream helps with the elasticity of skin helps revive dryness leaving skin feel soft, smooth and well hydrated.

So if your in need of all that then this is one for you wish-list. 

For the £24.00 price tag the only negativity I have towards this product is the tub its housed in, for the retail price along with the fantastic benefits a glass jar or uniquely shaped pot would work wonders for the dressing table.

Would I repurchase?

YES without a doubt but for now I'm making this tub last as long as possible.

£24 for 200ml

Models Own 5pc Brush Set Review

Brushes are something you can never have enough of, so I'm always on the look out trying to find affordable sets that contain suitable tools that I will actually use.

So while on the look out for new eye brushes I couldn't past on this

 Models Own 5pc Brush Set which includes a: 

Powder Brush - perfect handbag sized

Angled Eye brush,

Lip brush - also great for precision concealer application,

Shading Eye brush,

Blending Eye brush,

Looks wise I love the florescent orange handles defiantly makes it easier to find them.

    

 The brushes themselves have synthetic bristles, which are super soft and built quite dense which certainly helps to pack on powder shadows & other products which deserves a big thumbs up.

They wash easily too with warm water using natural soaps.

Last of all surprisingly they still haven't shed.

So for the £9.99 they are, it works out to be £2 a brush if my maths is correct so is a top find if your a beauty lover on a budget.

Keep a look out for when they're on offer.

 Or if your in need to update your make-up applicator collection then these will help you out.

Either way they do the job just right.
