Packaging - Bringing every chocoholic and makeup lovers fantasy to life, the design captures a real life chocolate bar! Closed with a magnetic seal, wide mirror and thin size, the sleek design provides security, perfect to take along when travelling. I love how alike to chocolate it looks and the elegant font style used, certainly living up to the upmarket status.

Colour selection - One of the reasons I wanted to purchase this (aside from the obvious chocolate love) was it's wide selection of neutral shades. As a big fan of gold/bronze eyes and bold lips, most of my palettes are neutral based so I couldn't wait to add this to the growing collection. From creamy golds, soft bronzes, sweet champagnes, pops of autumnal and bright pink colours, it offers something for every season; the versatility is endless. Two shades I was intrigued by were 'Amaretto', a cranberry shade and 'Glided Ganache', a dark olive toned colour because I'd love to embrace a more darker eye when the cooler months hit. My favourite by far have been 'Crème brulee' as I adore gold colours for my blue eyes, 'Marzipan' to use on an every day basis and 'Salted caramel' as a natural crease colour.

With the colour selection comes the vast range of different shade names! I love how Too faced are not only creative with the entire concept, design but also the names chosen. They picked a wide variety of adorable ones, truly fitting with the entire chocolate theme; I love it.

Pigmentation - I've heard a lot of amazing words about Too Faced eye shadows and they haven't disappointed. The richness of the shimmery shades is stunning, one swipe and you have an abundance of colour on the lid. The matte shades are similar, however not as intense and take a tad more building up to create the full on defined look.

Texture - With intense pigmentation, the texture didn't fail to impress me! Each shade is truly creamy, that when applied feels soft on the lids. The texture is quite thick meaning it doesn't take a lot of layers to build up the true colour pay off. The shimmery shades are especially incredible with their flecks of glitter shining through.

Blending ability - Seamless, beautiful and easy. When layering the matte shades through the crease, I found building up colours and blending them through to be brilliant. They'd buff in enough to give a natural look or smoke it up for that more intense, darker eye.

Above are all the shades swatched.

To summarise, the plot is about a plane crash, where every passenger is killed instantly with only one miracle survivor - a three-month-old baby. Two families claim her as their own but the tale unfolds to where she actually belongs; but which family is it? On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, the detective who investigated the case deeply discovers something that can change everything!

As you can see by the blurb, it's a very intense read, however, that's what I loved about it. The addictiveness of finding out the next clue, plot twist beyond plot twist, and the uncovering of many secrets. Set in Paris, you were able to discover all the distinctive factors that make the area such a treasured place, falling in love with the charming features. The characters are described with every intricate detail and how their relationships blossomed throughout the two decades the book was written in. There are various time changes ranging from present-day, flashbacks of when the 'miracle survivor' was growing up to the detective's tale, where countless facts unfold. You are transported to a different world, embracing the romantic French atmosphere and the heart of what family really means. The tale describes the difference in lifestyle, focusing on the small details, which bring the heart of the story to life.

I love reading and even though I enjoy an array of books, this was definitely one that stood out. The author writes in a way that's so gripping, you can't help but continue to read on and on. With the break up of different time frames, clues that get deeper and deeper, there's more to this tale than meets the eye. When I initially started reading I thought the ending would be completely different from what the final outcome actually is. Many changes are revealed towards the end of the novel and the journey you follow is an incredible one. You're able to question throughout and there are many gasping moments where you think, 'NO WAY'?! The overall story is truly intense and the ending leaves you feeling completely satisfied - Escape into a crazy whirlwind of this plot because I can assure you, you'll truly love it.

Established 'Thriller of the year' for a reason, the novel was beyond sensational and I couldn't hype about it more. If you like books with a tragic, yet complex storyline, this is for you. It had me hooked from the off, a definite recommendation!

I hope you enjoyed this book review. Have you read this novel?

I initially bought three items after the launch; the bath latte, fragrance mist and coin purse then received the clutch bag as a gift.

The first product I picked up was the stunning 'Bath Latte'. This has to be the cutest looking bubble bath bottle I've seen, it reminds me of vintage milk bottles with a shiny lid. As I adore my baths and lush products, I couldn't wait to try this out! I have to admit, it exceeded my expectations; once pouring the liquid under water, an array of bubbles formed and the sweet scent lingered for ages. I'd describe the scent as a combination of almonds and the overall smell when you walk into a sweet shop. It's like soaking in a bath of marzipan, leaving your skin feeling soft and smelling lovely all day long. For one bath, I used about a sixth of the bottle and after the bubbles grew, they lasted for ages, holding in the sweet goodness. Love, love, love!

Another item I bought was the coin purse/pouch as the design was too cute for words. With the scalloped edges and lilac colour scheme, it gives off a mermaid-esque vibe. As it's quite a small bag, designed to put nick nacky bits in, I've liked to use this to store contact lenses in when travelling or slot it in my handbag for everyday essentials. The whole concept behind it is very practical and I love the quote 'life is sweet', simple but effective.

One of the products I've been obsessed with is the 'Sweet Inspirations' body mist. The scent of this spray is delicious, I could smell it all day long. I've been using the fragrance continuously as part of my everyday routine, I just can't get enough! Despite only being a mist, the scent lasts quite a while throughout the day. I love the packaging of this too, the glass bottle, gold lid and pattered background, provides an elegant, more expensive look to the overall product - for the quality and design, the price is brilliant.

Last but not least is the gorgeous clutch bag. What I love about this is its versatility; you can either wear it folded over on a day basis or use for storage purposes when stretching out to its full size. I haven't gave it a go yet, however I think it'll really come in handy to pack all my beauty bits on my next trip in August. The design is super stylish, I love the blend of stripes, pastel colours and the wash of white shine.

I hope you enjoyed my review of Zoella's new range. Have you tried any of these products?

Coverage: One of my favourite things about this concealer is it's coverage. I would say it's medium to full and despite the thick consistency, the concealer has the ability to not only build yet hide any imperfections - I love it.

Colour: I picked up the shade 'Light warm' as when I went to the Urban Decay counter, it was recommended by one of their consultants. The colour is slightly lighter than my skin, however this means it doubles up as a highlighting shade and under eye concealer. The concealer is rather yellow based, perfect to even out the overall skin tone and help cover blemishes.

Lasting power: I like to use this concealer on night outs, parties or when I want my makeup looking extra nice as I feel it's such a luxurious, thick product. Therefore when it comes to lasting power, it does truly stay put, ensuring my under eye bags are not seen for a long time!

Would I buy it again and was it worth the splurge? Yes and yes. I was quite hesitant initially because of the hefty price tag especially when I already adore drugstore alternatives like Rimmel's wake me up concealer, however I truly love this. As it's higher end, my base makeup feels that extra bit special when I use this and I absolutely love the coverage, consistency etc. Overall, it's incredible, definitely worth the hype, splurge and all the previous lovely reviews I've read.

I hope you enjoyed this review. Have you tried out this concealer?

Finish: When I first started using the beauty blender, I didn't expect anything different from the end result, just how the makeup application would change, however I was certainly wrong. By using one of these beauties, I discovered not only does it help achieve a flawless finish, but it builds coverage. I think by using the dabbing method instead of dragging the product on the skin is the reason coverage is built. For instance, applying BB cream with this is absolutely fab because it gives an overall light-medium coverage instead of only a light colour tint.

Overall brush comparison: In terms of comparing it to brushes, I can honestly say I've been enjoying this a lot more to apply my makeup. I'm astounded by how using this tool can help build up the layers and leave such a faultless look. As my skin isn't great at the moment (yay for winter), this extra coverage is definitely needed and therefore I'm happy I picked this up when I did! I love the size for on the go, how soft it feels on the skin and even the application process. Even though I adored brushes for years to apply my base products, this is now my go to tool.

I hope you enjoyed this review. Have you used a beauty blender, if so do you prefer it to a brush?

Colour: As this bronzer is quite warm toned, it has the slightest orange hint when heavily swatched, however once applied to the cheekbones this subtle tone isn't shown at all. Having quite pale skin this is an aspect I'm always worried about when trying bronzers. The colour pay off is rather muted at first, yet after a few layers you're left with this gorgeous bronzed glow. Even though it's a matte  bronzer, the finished look has a slight shimmer to it, perfect for achieving that sun kissed appearance. After a couple of applications, the bronzer is still rather natural and doesn't give that harsh line, blending out easily to give the desired effect.

Contour: With the palette designed for 'contouring' I was surprised to see that it was warmed toned instead of cooler toned. I thought it would be a grey based bronzer to really help shadow those cheekbones. Despite this, I love the shade because it has the ability to make me look slightly tanned and still be capable of achieving a beautiful, long lasting contour. Even though it contours well, it's able to blend so you're not left with a harsh brown line, perfect for natural, everyday use.

Highlight: Alongside the bronzer is a highlighting shade to complete the whole contoured and highlighted, cheekbones makeup look. When swatched, the colour is very subtle and idyllic for a natural shimmer. I like how it's a muted shade because it just adds a little something, rather than overshadowing the contour already applied. 

Packaging: The product comes in a black shaped box with two layers, the top consisting of the products and the bottom having a mirror and brush . For me I'm on the fence about the packaging, I like how it comes with a mirror and two products in one as you can just pop it in your handbag, where there's no need to carry around excess products. However, it is rather bulky and therefore I would of preferred a mirror above the bronzer.

Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying using this bronzer as part of my everyday makeup, it's a lovely addition to my bronzer collection and achieves the natural look I love for work. 

I hope you enjoyed this beauty review. Have any of you tried this bronzer?
