Product of the Month-October!

Hello My Lovelies,

I love this time of the year it's the count down to Christmas with Halloween and Bonfire Night in between! 

My product for October is my first ever Whistles purchase...a green leather clutch! 

I've been looking at Whistles clutches for a really long time, and then earlier this year I saw this dark green one on sale (on their website) for £20, yes £20 that's a huge saving!

It's a gorgeous dark almost racing green with the gold Whistles lettering at the bottom, the leather is soft but strong enough that it won't scratch  and looks fab with monochrome outfits. It also has a gold zip with Whistles also on the puller which is a nice touch. The size of this clutch is medium, I can fit inside my phone, cards and cash, car keys, lipstick/Vaseline and a few other essentials which in my opinion makes it the perfect colour and style for this autumn/ winter nights out!

I literally can't wait for an excuse to take it out again soon and I may well have to buy a little card older to go inside!

Do you own any Whistles clutches, let me know in the comments!

Till next time,

                   Tori.

L'Oreal Eyeshadow Review

Hello My Lovelies,

I've had this gorgeous L'Oreal eyeshadow for over a month now and it's a colour I keep using most days, so I knew it was a shade that I had to share with you all.

This is the first ever L'oreal eyeshadow that I have ever bought and tried before- I've only ever had mascara from L'oreal so when I was in Boots and I had swatched it I knew I had to give it a go!

The colour name is Opalescent (number 600) and comes from the Color Riche range, they have a couple of other colours in the collection that are all darker but this one looked my kind of tone- especially as I don't think deep colours look too great on my eyes.

This eyeshadow works best using a finger to apply, on a brush you just don't get the full effect of the shimmer and the pigmentation can be a bit wishy washy. Also using a finger means that the eyeshadow doesn't crumble which happens when I used a brush.
The longevity of this eyeshadow is great too and can last at least 5 to 6 hours which for a drugstore isn't too shabby.
 

The L'Oreal eyeshadow retails for £4.99 and is a light but beautiful colour & definatley a range that I will be checking out again next time I'm in Boots.

Do you own any of these eye shadows, let me know in the comments!

Till next time,

                   Tori.

Dr Paw Paw Review

Hello My Lovelies,

Back in July I wrote a blog post all about Papaya Gold Paw Paw balm and I inadvertently tagged Dr Paw Paw on twitter asking them to read my post- they kindly let me know that I had mixed the two companies up and asked if I wanted to review their version too... Well I didn't need to be asked twice as I love paw paw balms!

There are not many major differences between the two other than Papaya Gold is the Australian version and Dr Paw Paw is the UK version. The other difference is the packaging, Papaya Gold comes in a red tube with black writing and Dr Paw Paw comes in a light yellow packaging.

Now for the product: There aren't any differences between the consistency of the Dr Paw Paw and the Papaya Gold that I can see or feel, the Dr Paw Paw is just as lovely, a light serum very close to the feel of Vaseline and can be used on lips, cuticles and nails. I will definitely be using this all winter on my lips, to keep them smooth and chap free.


The price point is £6.95 and with Dr Paw Paw you get 25ml of product, which is a little more than the Papaya Gold but still a decent affordable price.


Given a choice between the Papaya Gold and Dr Paw Paw I would always repurchase the Dr Paw Paw as it's British brand and I personally like to support local and national brands where ever possible.
I can't wait to get my hands on the new tinted Dr Paw Paw as that looks just as fab!


Have you tried Dr Paw Paw-let me know in the comments!


Till next time,
