Urban Decay Theodora Palette

I was in two minds about this product for a while and I was in two minds about which one to get. But I decided to go with the Theodora palette as I know I will get lots more use out of this one- and I have already! I purchased it from Debenhams and also got 10% off and triple points! Winner.

The palette is the style of the Urban Decay Build Your Own Palettes, only this is a steal as it's full already and you get a travel sized eyeliner and lipstick!

The Shadows are shades Broken, Beware, Bewitch, West, Spell and Jealous.

I love the fact there are also duo shadows here, two for the price of one! I get a lot of use out of all the colours and I'm so glad I purchased it after a large debate with myself. In usual Urban Decay standard the eyeshadows are really pigmented, nice and shimmery and just a pleasure to use. I never doubt Urban Decay when it comes to eyeshadows. 

Have you bought any Urban Decay Limited Edition Palettes?

Glossybox May 2013!

I'm totally in love with this months and it may of rekindled my love for beauty boxes! I was so surprised to see 2 make up products in my box this month- but I'm over the moon! It's so rare and I love both. This month Glossybox 2 so it's a birthday box, with lovely tissue paper and really vibrant ribbon. This month in my box I received:

• Caudalie Divine Oil- This is a multipurpose oil, it can be used on body, face and hair. I'm all over multipurpose products as I find they are really beneficial to have as they can be used for a number of things. Caudalie has become a big brand recently and I have been tempted by this product quite a few times so I'm really glad I get to try this, it's such a decent size and I can imagine it will last a while.
• Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lash Mascara- First off, what a cute name?! And the packaging is lovely. I'm really looking forward to testing this out, it claims to be a light weight mascara that you can't feel on your lashes (and I hate that feeling.) Mascara's are something I am always interested in trying as I change mine all the time.
• Bellapierre Cosmetics Super Lip Gloss in Raspberry- This is so my colour! I can't wait to test this, I'm interested in the sticky factor but I think this will be a really pigmented gloss. But purples are well up my valley! So pleased to receive another full sized make up product.
• L'Occitaine Angelica Hydration Cream- Another brand I love. I admire the hand creams so I am really looking forward to testing this face cream. It's a really decent sample sized and I'm sure it will be enough for me to test it properly. I am in the market for some new face creams so this could be an interesting one!
• Beautiful Movements Cosmetics Prime and Create Mixing Medium- This is the one product I am a bit hmm about in the box. You can use it alone as a primer to give a matte base for make up products. Or you can mix it with powder products to create cream products. To me this does seem a bit of a faff especially in the week when I'm going to work in the mornings. But I am interesting in seeing how it does mix. I will probably try it with a blusher.

Overall I am so pleased with this box, there are 2 full sized products and decent sample sizes, for a birthday box this is definitely great! There is a gift included from Glossybox as well- travel nail files in a match box style!

Nails for the week!

Essie Sugar Daddy

If you saw one of my previous posts you will be aware that I recieved this product in my latest GlossyBox! Well I was worried about this nail polish as it appeared to be very sheer- and it is. But I found it really easy to work witht, this is the first I have tried with the new brush and forumla and I think I have fallen in love. I have Essie Fiji but in the old style and find it very hard to work with. I really think I will invest in more Essie polishes from now on.

Sugar Daddy is a pale pink, almost the same colour as my natual nails but I find it a very sleek colour and it will look good on all skin tones. A very clean polish.

Suzanne Shares: Work Life

Hello Everyone

I hope you are all well on this jolly Tuesday evening, but doesn't it feel like it should be nearly Friday already? So let's just jump in, I'm going to be starting a series called Suzanne Shares and these posts are just going to be about general life, generally. It could be of topics that I wish to touch upon just because of an interest. It'll be quite a friendly series where I'll just be tip tapping away rambling while watching TV in the evenings, multitasking at it's best!

Some of you may be aware that back in February 2012 I got a Business and Administration Apprenticeship at the local council. I had completed the college side by November 2012, it was all up in the air if I was going to get a job at the end of it, long story short- no. However, I was then given a 9 month contract in a different department. So far I'm really enjoying it, it's very different, but it's a good different. So a opening for a new position has come up in this department- naturally I have applied and have an interview Thursday! I'm not sure whether I'm a bag of nerves or a rolling ball of excitement?! I do suffer from anxiety and panic disorder so it's more than likely a bag of nerves! But the feeling of an interview looming is a somewhat stressful feeling. The waiting is the worst, in my opinion anyway. But the truth is we all have to go through these situations in life from time to time, and they can be quite hard to deal with, especially if there is a a lot going on in life in general. Even if I am not successful, I want to look upon the experience as a positive one, due to the fact that it could open up other options. These times are very stressful but we must all remember to take them in our stride. I will update you all (with some good news hopefully!) once I know.

Take care everyone!

Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm- Clarins

This appeared in my Ebay purchases and gosh isn't it stunning? The colour and the packaging just made me fall in love with this baby. I managed to snap this up for about £8. I have been using this every day since I bought it. The shade is crystal violet, yum.

From the picture you can see there is a lipstick centre with an outer balm. Now this is my kinda thing! I tried the Revlon Lip Butters and didn't get on with it. I tried the L'oreal twin and loved it! But my love for this Clarins lip balm has taken over! I've become a right sucker for Clarins products too.

I think these are limited edition also..shh! Grab one while you can :) you won't regret it!

White Chocolate Mousse Facemask Review

Out of the selection of facemasks I bought from the superdrug range this was the one that I COULD NOT wait to try! I love eating white chocolate so why would I not love it on my face?!

I opened it up and the smell....oh my god. You could eat it! It really does smell amazing. I applied it to my face, it went on easily. Left it on for 15 minutes while I was in the bath. At first it did sting a bit but I was experiencing some dry patches on my face. This did shortly pass though. After my skin smelt like the mask! Yummy!

Not only did my face smell edible, it felt my skin looking oh so clean! It was very soft and smooth and it solved those dry patches as well! I would get this again, for sure. Infact as they are only 99p I'm sure I would get more than one! If your a chocolate lover then this is the face mask for you!

OPI Nail Envy Review

This product is my go to product for my nails! I have bought it in a mini size as I wasn't sure I would like it enough to spend the rrp! I've had the mini size for about 4/5 months and I use it every week as a base for my nail polish and my bottle is still going strong. I think I picked it up for about £3 on ebay. Bargain city. 

As I said I have been using this product as a base for my nail polish. I find it makes my nails feel stronger and less brittle, and the amount I paint my nails this is a good thing. It's a good base as it seems to fill the ridges in my nails in. Sometimes if I don't feel like much colour on my nails then I'll just wear this for the week. I really like this product as I feel it does exactly what is says on the pot! It may be a bit pricey but I think it's worth the tag and the hype.
