Sculptresse by Panache The Chi-Chi Bra

Hiya Lovelies! 

I'm sure many of you have heard of  Panache Lingerie, I came across their Sculptresse range a few weeks ago and fell in love with their collection. They very kindly gifted me The Chi Chi underwired Bra to try out and what a gorgeous Bra it is, with it's cute pink mini leopard print design and gorgeous lace at the top of the cup, its a definite winner!

Sculptresse by Panache Chi-Chi Bra

I love lingerie that makes me feel sexy and although there are a good amount of plus size lingerie retailers out there, it's still exciting to come across even more Brands that cater for the fuller figured woman.

For me not only does a Bra have to be pretty, it has to be super comfortable too. Being a plus size girl I always buy Bras that have a wide band and thicker straps, Bras with a thin band are a NO NO! Having lingerie that doesn't feel right and irritates is not a good thing. 

I have compared the Chi-Chi Bra to another Bra that I bought online a while ago which i don't wear because the band was simply not wide enough.

As you can see the Chi-Chi Bra has a significantly larger band. Look at the difference!

If it doesn't come in your size, don't worry! Panache offers a variety of  different styles and sizes so you're sure to find the perfect Bra for you!

Unless I have shopped from a Brand before, I usually like to buy Bras in-store so I can see how wide the band is and have a feel of the material.

I was pleased when the Chi-Chi Bra arrived and fitted, I would say it is certainly true to size.

why do I love the Chi-Chi Bra?

1. The width of the band is wide.
2. The straps are thick.
3. The underwired cup gives you great support
4. The design is super sexy.
5. Comfortable.
6. A fabulous Bra for Plus Size Women.

Tip - If you feel like you want to increase your Bras back for extra comfort, buy a Bra Hook Extender.

Have you shopped with Panache before?

Benefit Cosmetics Wishlist 2014

Hiya Lovelies!

How are you all?

I know you all love Benefit Cosmetics as much as I do, so here are a few products that are currently on my wishlist.

Actually I just want the whole shop! I could turn my spare room into a Benefit Cosmetics shop, now that is an idea! 


I do like wearing Lipstick but I have always been more of a Lip Gloss Kinda girl. 

Ultra Plush Lip Gloss

You can choose from six shades.

Lollibop (Hot Pink)
Kiss You (Clear Fuchsia)
Icebreaker (Clear)
Fauxmance (Soft Berry)
A-Lister (Bubblegum Pink)
Poutrageous (Bright Pink-Coral) 


This Blusher looks so pretty! It also won Best Blusher at the Elle Beauty Awards 2012 so I'm excited to try this!



I adore the smokey eye look, this kit looks amazing! 



I'm a big fan of Black Eye Liner, it creates a super sexy look. I have heard good things about this Product so I have high expectations.



I can't wait to try this with the They're Real Push-Up Liner, I love to emphasize my eyes so these two products should work well together!

Benefit Cosmetics

I could go on forever!

What are your favourite products and what will you be trying next?

The Lush Bluewater Bloggers Event

Hiya Lovelies!

I'm a big fan of Lush Cosmetics! from amazing handmade Bath Bombs to gorgeous Face and Hair products, you're sure to find something you will love! They also fight against animal testing which is great!

On Sunday the 17th of August 2014 I was lucky enough to attend a V.I.P Bloggers Event at The Lush Bluewater Store.

I had my own special password for the event and on arrival I was greeted by the most friendliest of staff with a gorgeous Orange Juice drink that had aloe vera in it!

So the day started with the Lush Team giving us demonstrations on how to use products such as The Sunblock. This new product protects your skin from the sun, apply to damp skin and pat dry. The Sunblock has 12 ingredients such as cocoa butter, rose absolute and calamine powder, it's also great for delicate skin. You can also use it throughout the day without using any water.

It felt lovely on my skin and glides on so smoothly!

Lush Cosmetics V.I.P Blogger Event

Then I tried The Sesame Suntan Lotion, this lotion conditions and softens your skin and because it has a Walnut Leaf infusion to increase the skin's melanin production, this product is fantastic for helping you tan, if you're a fan of chocolate you will love this as it leaves your skin smelling like a snickers bar! (lol)


Now for the Messy bit! I got to make my very own Bath Bomb, this was absolutely fantastic! My bath bomb is currently setting, I can't wait to use it!

Lush Cosmetic V.I.P Blogger Event

I adore watching Bath Bombs fizz, there's something really relaxing about it!


The Lush team then spoke to us about a mixture they use to create Mermaid water. Here's a little video of the Bath Bomb melting! heaven! 




Lush very kindly gave all the Bloggers a goody bag with a book of all the products which I thought was  sweet of them. 


So what did i get?


Sesame Suntan Lotion
Inhale Exhale Ball Ballistic
Honey I Washed The Kids Soap
Mask Of Magnaminty Face and Back Pack
Dream Steam Tab
Million Dollar Moisturiser

All these products can be found at a store or online

Lush Cosmetics also have a range of perfume. I got to pick a solid perfume, you could either have Karma or Vanillary, I went for Vanillary as it has a sweeter smell.


It was such a fabulous day and everyone was so lovely! It was also nice to meet some other Bloggers!

What's your favourite Product from Lush?

Teeez Beautiful Eyes Flat Stiff Make-Up Brush

Hiya Beauty Lovers!

Wouldn't it be great if we had our very own Beauty store in our homes! *Dreams*

Today I will be talking to you about the amazing Beautiful Eyes Flat Stiff Make-Up Brush by Teeez 

I received this brush in my GlossyBox a couple of months ago and I must say it's one of the best brushes that I have ever used for applying Eye shadow!

The natural hairs on the brush feel super soft against the Eyelid and glides perfectly, you can blend and create shapes with ease without poking your eye out!

The design of the brush is gorgeous too, not a boring plain colour like most applicators!



Makeup Revolution


This gorgeous Brown Eye shadow is from my Lock & Load Palette by Make-Up Revolution. The Flat Brush (left) picks up a lot more product than using an applicator (right) like one of these...



Here are a few looks I am loving at the moment and that I will definitely be trying.

Which one is your favourite?

Pamela Mann Plus Size Tights

Hiya Lovelies!

We love pretty tights but sometimes it's hard to find ones that are comfortable and fit well, after all you will be wearing them all day or night and the last thing you want to be doing is pulling them up and tugging at them all day.

I'm 5ft 8 and a UK size 26.

Pamela Mann are a fantastic company that provides a selection of pretty Tights & Socks including Stockings & Hold Ups.


Their plus size range goes up to a size 32.

Pamela Mann Kindly sent me two gorgeous pair of tights in different sizes to try.

Firstly i tried the sexy Baroque Tulle Tights in a UK size 20-26

I love the pattern of these tights, they felt nice and soft. The tights fitted and went up to my waist, but when i walked around they would start to fall down, i would say they are more of a size 20-24, other than that they were fabulous tights




Secondly i tried the adorable Cat Ear Over The Knee Tights in a size 28-32.




These tights are so cute! Now they were a little big on me as they went right above my waist but this was a great thing because they didn't fall down and felt super comfortable.

I have acrylic nails so i had to be careful not to rip them! (Lol)

Always go for the larger size in tights even if they are not your usual size, opting for a larger size will make you feel more comfortable and they won't fall down.

My January Glossybox 2014


I was so pleased i received my Glossybox yesterday, You never know what you are going to get so although i ordered it myself it feels like a present. I love this months box, why? because it's my favourite colour! Pink! 




The wrapping was super cute and I tried all the products straight away. The box was filled with skin moisturisng products which was fantastic as i like to look after and moistuise my skin. I also received a pretty Floral Slanted Tweezers. 

I love make-up and I'm a big fan of trying different make-up looks and seeing what works, so as it's my Birthday next month, I hope my box is filled with make-up products, and maybe a little something extra? Cheeky i know! :)



Glossy Box


Vaseline Essential Moisture Lotion

I moisturise after i shower so i was pleased to see this product. I have used it before, it smells great, leaves your skin so soft and locks in moisture.

It's £4.99 for a 400ml and you can find it in Boots.



Anatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer Wake-up Under Eye Patches

I don't have any dark circles or lines under my eyes so when i first saw these i thought they wouldn't be beneficial to me. I carried on reading and discovered that these Under Eye Patches can be used to revitalise the delicate skin under the eyes when you're tired after a long week working or been out partying all night! After leaving them on for 30 minutes my under eyes did feel refreshed.

They are £6.00 for a 3 pack at ASOS 

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Floral Slanted Tweezers

I love these tweezers as they have a very pretty pattern, unlike the normal silver tweezers i usually buy. Use the slanted side for general tweezing and the slanted edge for more precision. Remember don't go overboard with tweezing!

The Tweezers are £8.00 at The Vintage Cosmetic Company.

Yu-Be Mositurising Skin Cream

I have never used Yu-Be before. This skin Cream is from Japan and revamps your skin, it contains Vitamin E & Vitamin B2. It can be used all over including the face and lips. When i first massaged it into my hands it smelt like vapour rub! which i wasn't excited about but after you have rubbed it in there was no smell at all which was good, after all it's ongoing protection from the Elements. Not sure I'll be using it alot due to the vapour rub smell when you first apply it.

It's £13.50 for 33g at One Stop Beauty.

Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash

This Body Wash is a blend of Juniper, Bergamot, Geranium and Lavender essential oils. I'm not a great lover of the Lavender smell . After I used it i did feel boosted. I don't think I'll be using this regularly only because I'm not keen on the smell of Lavender. If you love Lavender I would highly recommend this.

It's £10.25 for 250ml at Balance Me.

Can't wait for my February Box!

:)
