Japonesque Artisan Tweezers

If you have seen my previous Japonesque post and my tweets on twitter you will know I live Japonesque brushes. The tweezers caught my eye also though as there are so many different patterns or just plain coloured ones. I went for the 'Pink swirl patterned artisan tweezers'. They are amazing and the best tweezers I have ever owned by a long mile. 



They are very sharp so you can be very precise. If they become blunt Japonesque have a programme (which I think also applies in the UK) where you can send them to Japonesque HQ  and they will sharpen them for you free of charge.

I really love these tweezers, although i'm not sure where there available in the UK 

What do you think of Japonesque tweezers?

Conran Scent 2


Conran wasn't a brand I was overly familiar with so when I had the chance to review some products from them I didn't say no. I got to choose the scent either 1 or 2. scent 1 is a spicy scent with nutmeg and pepper in it. Scent 2 is fresh with lemon and floral scent.

I received the Body scrub and the shower gel in scent 2. I really dislike the smell of the body scrub but love the smell of the shower gel even though they are meant to be the same. I feel like the scent of the scrub is a lot stronger than the shower gel (I think this might just be me though).


The scrub itself does the job its supposed to do. It has a strange consistency that I haven't seen before in a scrub it's sort of foam like. It is an expensive one though at £25, but it does work well and a little does go a long way.

The shower gel is lovely and the scent really lasts on your body. Its very refreshing especially in the morning when you have just woken up. It cost £16 which I think is a bit expensive but if your a person who likes luxurious products then I think this is one for you.

The packaging on all of Conran products look very expensive and when I first saw them I linked them to the bottles you have at hotels.

Umberto Giannini Products

I have heard lots of people rave about Umberto Giannini products for a while so when I was offered the chance to try them I couldn't wait to give them a try.



My favourite product of the 2 I received is the Glamour Puss Crystal Mist which is basically just a glitter spray. Its not full on disco ball which I like, it just shimmers when the light hits it. Its £5.61 in Boots which I think is quite good as you don't really need that much in one go.

The next product is the highly raved about backcomb in a bottle. To be honest this just doesn't work for me. It claims to add the texture and volume that backcombing your hair does. It hardly gives me any volume but maybe that's because of how thick and long my hair is. It does smell quite nice though! This is also £5.61 from Boots.

Cutey Bracelets


Cutey is an online bracelet shop which I heard about on twitter. When I had the chance to review them I was really excited. I was really lucky to be sent 2 bracelets.


As you can tell from the pictures above the charm bracelets are gorgeous. They have a range of designs and all cost £12.99 except one which is £14.99.

I love wearing these bracelets and the only problem I have with them is opening them to get them  on and off. It has a strange opening to me but it looks good on the bracelet as it looks like another charm. Once youve opened it a few times it loosens up anyway so its not really a big deal.

These bracelets can be purchased from www.cutey.co.uk

Topshop Eye Crayons

Eye crayons are always something I've been a little iffy to try - won't they make a mess putting them on? Well the answer is not really. Topshop's eye crayons are extremely creamy, long wearing and easy to apply. The two colours I have are Ramble and Sunshower.





Both the colours last such a long time and are so pigmented. They come in a twisty tube which is great as you dont need to sharpen it. Also the packaging is lovely, its very sturdy and has a lovely design like the rest of the Topshop makeup.
I apply it by applying it straight to my eyelids then blending with my finger or a brush which is what is suggested on the Topshop website. They would also make a great upper eyeliner especially ramble.



The colours are so beautiful and I cant really find a fault in them. I certainly want to try more Topshop make up after trying these especially the cream blushes.
The eye crayons are £7.50 from Topshop
