Tonights main headline, and only headline, is the arrival of the fabulous Strivectin Trio on QVC this coming Wednesday! 

Launching on Wednesday January 8^th is a fabulous Strivectin trio, featuring a Face & Body cream, Overnight Resurfacing Serum and Advanced Retinol Night Cream- a brand spanking new addition to the delicious range of products. 

For the first time ever this set will appear as QVC’s TSV (akaToday’s Special Value) where it will be available to purchase for just £91 for one day only (RRP £189) which means a saving of almost £100!!!! Cray cray. 

Suitable for all skins alike, this trio contains all of the products that you need to tackle maturing skins. Remember, prevention is better than cure- so be sure to start this type of care early. I am fast approaching twenty seven and can't get enough of the stuff. The introduction of Retinol into my acne prone, sun damaged skin has been a savour! The skin care trio tackles a pretor of skin care concerns to make sure all bases are covered. 

Strivectin's scientific skincare is serious. 

Strivectin Trio

Smells good, feel good and WORKS. Check out the before and after? Crazy right!!

Before (JESUS!) HD is not kind :(

After!!! How good is that???? Used the SD Face and Body Cream targeting my stretch marks for approx 6 weeks :) 

What the people of Strivectin say about their products:

120ml SD Face & Body (Supersize)s: StriVectin-SD™ Intensive Concentrate is a super-charged comprehensive skin repair cream for stretch marks, wrinkles and aging skin. This leading wrinkle and stretch mark fighter is now powered up with a new clinical formula for even greater results. More Science. Less Wrinkles.

30ml Overnight Resurfacing Serum: Instantly helps smooth the epidermal layer gently, without any irritation while you sleep so you can wake up to softer, brighter skin in just one use. A 4-week independent clinical trials measuring skin texture and tone following the use of the serum proved in as little as two weeks, 82% of women’s skin felt softer and 81% confessed their skin felt smoother. Simply apply every night to cleansed skin, alone or before your usual skincare routine. The exclusive combination of active ingredients in helps to stimulate skin renewal and dissolves dead skin cells to reveal fresher, more radiant and younger looking skin.

50ml Advanced Retinol Night Cream (Supersize): The first night time moisturiser to launch from StriVectin. Using their breakthrough formula the Advanced Retinol Night Cream improves the look of deep-set wrinkles, firmness, skin tone, texture and radiance. While you sleep, it hydrates and deeply nourishes your skin. Working as a dynamic duo, their patented NIA-114™ molecule activates Retinol’s age-fighting power to work harder, faster, more efficiently without irritation.

Jacava London Nails

Blueberry Muffin ~ Candy Floss ~ Crimson Crush

Pay attention because this is seriously one of the best finds of 2013. You ready? 

I have been 'Jacava'd'.

I entered the Feel Unique/ Jacava* collab competition recently and WON. Yes I am lucky, but the discovery of this nail varnish brand heavily out ways my giddiness of winning prizes.  Jacava London are a polish brand which follow a free from policy. Their stunning varnishes do not include 8 of the biggest cosmetics nasties (Formaldehyde, Camphor, Toluene, DBP, Collophane, Phthalates or Animal Ingredients). The nail lacquer gives a serious high gloss, opaque, luxe vibe and get this- the print on the bottle is 22 carat gold. 

Yeahhhhhh you read it right- GOLD. 

Would you support this London design and manufactured product? If you are even the slightest bit unsure- just take a look at the pictures below.

Thank you feelunique.com

Happy Shopping and THANK YOU feelunique.com and Jacava London.

Draw My Life!

Hi Guys!!!

Sooooo... I was tagged by the beautz Erica from EricaFae on YouTube to do the 'Draw My Life' tag. I was a tad apprehensive TBH- reasons why below.

1. I cannot draw- which is crucial to the success and/ or enjoyment of the video.

2. I do not wish to spread negativity or touch on too many deeply personal times in my life- which when compared to others, mine may seem to gloss over or just not even mention tough of 'touching' subject areas. 

That being said I have divulged a LOT- and this whole process of sitting down and drawing pivotal points in your life has really made me appreciate what is important, and that is honestly- as CRINGE as it may be, is the health and happiness of my loved ones!

I hope you enjoyed this tag video and if you have any others that you would like me to film, please leave a comment below and I will add it to my ever growing 'to do' list. Video wise- this is getting particularly long at the moment and that is purely because I have chicken pox at the mo. In fact, I have had them for 10 days now and have signed off of work for a further few. 

BUT- strangely enough I don't that feel too bad, I finished my week of antiviral meds yesterday so I feel a lot better! Hope to be no contagious and back to wearing make up very soon. Thank you for all your well wishes on my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Lots of Love,

Undress Your Skin by MUA

All your answers to achieve a flawlessly radiant complexion!

The beautz from MUA have released a great new range of super affordable products to help you achieve a flawless looking make up look.

The range includes three base products and also an amazing neutral eyeshadow twelve pan palette. I popped along to Superdrug a while back when the products were fresh on the shelves to give this range a go. I have previous experience with MUA products and always find them a delight- the heaven and earth eyeshadow is one of my faves.

Primer: Just one pump smoothed over your skin creates a smooth base ready for the application of your foundation. The silicone based gel fills in pores and fine lines to prep your skin to perfection. I like this product, but I don't LOVE it. My favorite primer of all time however is the very pricey, high end Hourglass Mineral Veil primer (thank you Wendy Schwartz!!!). I agree that it smoothes the skin, but the aid of foundation staying power is questionable. Can I really complain when its priced at £5.00?? No.

Highlighting Powder: This lightweight baked powder glides over skin when applied with a light hand equipped with a stippling brush. I choose to apply with my MAC 187 and dust over the high points of my face- cheek, brow bone, bridge of my nose and cupids bow. This product could rival the famous MAC mineralized skin finishes for a smidgen of the price. It creates a beautiful opulent luminescence for just £3.00!!!

Undress Me Too Palette: This palette is a great addition to my ever growing collection of nude shadows. I am a neutrals girl at heart with a strong affection for shimmering inner corner highlights a soft golden/ bronzey tones on my lid. I may even push the boat out and go for a smokey gunmetal of an evening! Eccentric I know! Great smooth shadows with amazing pigment pay off for a drugstore brand. My faves are Shy, Wink and Obsessed- some bloggers are even rivaling this palette to the famous Urban Decay Naked palettes! You can't twist to arm to make that bold of a statement, BUT I do love it and for £4.00 you can't go wrong.

Have you tried this new range from MUA? Are you a neutral eyeshadow lover like me?

Liz. 

All items can be purchased from MUA website. 3 for 2 on all new face products.
