IT Cosmetics

Hello Everyone,


So as we all know I love a Vlogger...or five.
I have been watching several Bloggers "Get Ready With Me" posts and have been loving the look of the IT Cosmetics range. I must admit that I had not heard of the IT Cosmetics Range prior to watching some  Vloggers but I must say I’m hooked and have been creating my shopping list ever since - and what better time to publish this as it the products have become available in Boots UK
Stores and Online since the 1st June 2018.



With that in mind, I have compiled my wish list below:

Your Skin But Butter CC+ Cream With SPF 50-£30
This CC cream delivers six key benefits all in one product:
•Full-Coverage
•SPF 50  UVA
•Brightening Colour Corrector
•Hydrating •Pores appear reduced
 •Helps conceal spots
•Can be purchased in seven different shades
You can now start your foundation routine by applying the CC Cream with the IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Complexion Brush (which will also feature in this post). This is truly an all-in-one, multitasking beauty miracle for your most beautiful skin.



Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer-£23.50 
This is your missed beauty sleep in a tube.
This is available in six shades and the three key benefits are:
•Highly pigmented full-coverage concealer helps cover the look of imperfections.

This is your 2 in 1 complexion brush. This brush is so easy to use to apply all your favourite foundations and concealers evenly and smoothly. Whilst the large and fluffy end allows you to flawlessly apply foundation and the smaller end allows you to blend on those harder to reach spots.

 Use offer code POWERDUO at the checkout.

Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream-£25
This neutralizing correcting cream makes your redness disappear. You can apply this with the IT cosmetics dual ended Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush. The products key benefits are that this product can be worn alone if you are having a no make up day but still want a little something on your skin or you can wear under your make up for a beautiful base. The universal shade is perfect for multiple skin tones and the ingredients include colloidal oatmeal, peptides, aloe and collagen.



With all that being said, I hope that you will all be joining me in your local Boots UK store and adding at least one IT Cosmetics items to your make up rotation. As you can see hopefully at least five will be making it into my rotation!

It is worth noting that I have been into my local Boots UK in Milton Keynes and that they do not have the range in store at present. I have scouted around and it would appear that they only have the full range in Boots UK, White City, Westfield, London. I must say I find this slightly disappointing as I was really looking forward to being able to see it in my local store. Lets hope over the next few months they will start retailing it in other stores.

If you do however order your items from the It Cosmetics Website then you can receive 3 travel minis when you purchase two or more products, just enter offer code "trio" at the checkout. I have include the It Cosmetics & also the Boots UK website below so you can crack on with your shopping.

Wedding Dress Shopping Part 2

Hello Everyone,

Against all odds the weekend I have booked in for wedding dress shopping was not the weekend that i expected us to have the most glorious May Bank Holiday weather but nevertheless,  I have now completed the second round of wedding dress shopping and can confirm it does't get easier each time you go. After round one of the trying on, I thought I had narrowed down the shape and style I wanted.

You literally think you are on top of the world when you find a shape that works for you and then the assistant brings over another beautiful dress for you to try, then the love affair start all over again but with multiple dresses this time.

This weekend I have visited another store, located in Thrapston.  This boutique is a little higher up on the price scale, so I think my dream of getting the dress, veil, headpiece and belt in my budget is still just that...a dream.

Gowns & Garters
This is my favourite bridal store that I have been in so far. It is situated on the cutest little High Street in Thrapston . The obvious likability for Gowns & Garters was that they were the most local bridal shop to stock my favourite wedding dress designer - Essence of Austrailia. I have loved this brand every since I saw it at the wedding show in Birmingham, I also love this collection as they have many dresses in the range and they all have something beautiful to offer no matter what you are looking for.

They also stock Stella York, Maggie Sottero, Mori Lee, Rebecca Ingram and Sophia Tolli.

They make the whole experience so easy as all the dresses have the normal price tag but alongside they all have the picture of the dress so you know what it looks like without have to pull it fully off the rail. They also have the bridesmaid section upstairs where the stock Sorella Vita and Mori Lee in the full range of styles and colours.

If you are looking for a new bridal shop to go to, then I would definitely recommend you try Gowns & Garters. To book an appointment, you can contact them on 01832 730652.

I also have another appointment at George James Bridal at the end of the month where I am hoping to locate the most beautiful Justin Alexander Dress, it was last season however so I am hoping there will be a way to find this or if not a very similar one.

I have come to realise that the wedding dress shopping experience is not  all as light and fluffy as it is made out on TV. It's tiring and mind blowing all at the same time. I also do not think that “The Feeling” actually exists, this may just be for me as I cannot make a decision to save my life and this will stress me out and may cover the feeling you are supposed to get.

However, I hope these posts help anyone who is currently also on the hunt for their own dress. It’s not all bad as I am quite confident I have found two amazing front runners but will not be rushing myself to making a decision. I will sleep on it and take my time to make sure it is the perfect dress for me.  If anyone has any suggestions on where I should be looking or can share any experiences they had whilst shopping for their dress, I would love to hear from you, please contact me via the contact tab on my home page.

Wedding Dress Shopping Part 1

Hello Everyone,

So in April I started the process of wedding dress shopping. I am not going to lie to you all, I find the whole thing quite scary, I worry that I won’t be able to find the right dress, what if Adam doesn’t like the dress, what If everyone has a different opinion on what I should wear?

So today I visited Once In A Lifetime Bridal which is based in Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes and they stock Sottero & Midgley, White One, Sophia Tolli and Pronovias. I loved this shop as they only have 2 appointments happening at any one time so there is no risk of any hustle and bustle of too many people. I will not be posting pictures of me in the dresses for obvious reasons but will attach an image below from the Pronovias collections as this was not on my list before today. If you would like to make an appointment then please contact them on 01908 568377.

 I then visited Belle En Blanc in Olney which Is located on the high street. When you have your appointment here you are the only person there so all the attention from the consultant is on you which I really like. They stock dresses from St Patrick, White One and Lou Lou.  I have included an image from the St Patrick Collection. If you would like to make an appointment at Belle En Blanc then please call them on 01234 713000.

There are also a few designers I would like to try whilst trying to find the one, I have listed them below with a picture from their collections (I won’t be including pictures of dresses I will be looking to try on just in case it is THE ONE) and I have then splashed it all over the Internet.

Stella York 
The award-winning Stella York bridal collection brings together dramatic elegance and sophistication in a wedding dress. Stella York bridal gowns are imagined and crafted with exceptional detail, Stella York is more than just designer wedding dresses, it’s an indelible mind-set, with each dress a perfect complement to a brides attitude, style and spirit.


Sottero & Midgely 
This brand features alluring details, luxe fabrics and cutting-edge designs, Sottero & Midgley is inspired by the chic and glamorous bride. Make a bold statement on your wedding day with plunging necklines, show-stopping trains and opulent embellishments from these haute-couture collections.


Rebecca Ingram 
This is the newest addition to the Maggie Sottero Designs, Rebecca Ingram offers timeless elegance and superior quality to the value-conscious bride. The inaugural Olivia collection features flattering silhouettes, understated embellishments. And flirty illusion details in an array of charming colorways.


Essence of Australia
 It will be love at first sight when you discover the wedding dress collection from Essence of Australia, which puts a modern spin on bohemian style. With designs that cater to every bride and her unique bridal style, Essence of Australia offers everything from wedding dresses with sleeves and sext backless gowns, to classic lace dresses and plus size styles.


Halfpenny London
 A self confessed obsessive when it comes to fabrics and embellishment, Kate Halfpenny established Halfpenny London to design bridal wear for real women, explaining that every piece understands their bodies, individual beauty and their lifestyles.


These designers can be found in most wedding dress shops so on this occasion I have not hyperlinked the images, as if you wanted a specific designer in your area, I would always suggest when you call the to make the appointment that you check their bridal stocklists. If anyone is getting married and you’re about to embark on the wedding dress journey, I hope you found areas of this post useful.

Happy Wedding Dress Shopping.
