Jamie Jewellery - The atom collection

If you read my latest post you will know that one of my favorite jewellery brands since discovering it last week. The jewellery is unique and at a higher compared to other jewellers. One of my favourite pieces are the atom pieces. 

The Atom Bracelet (click the subtitle for link)

This piece is sold at £75 and is 24ct gold plated. I found this piece so delightful to look at due to the charm/ball. The dainty chain i love as it puts all the attention onto the ball. The ball is not a smooth ball but has individual balls attached which remind me of an atom hence the name. I also think the tag of the brand name by the clasp is lovely

Boutique By Jaime wishlist

Pretty much this week i have been obsessed with two amazing and beautiful things : Janoskians and Boutique By Jaime. 

I was searching everywhere for a brand that did jewellery that was at a high quality, good pricing and also pieces that everyone would envy. One night i came across Boutique By Jaime

Boutique by Jaime offers a wide variety of pieces ranging from charm bracelets, bangles, chain drop earrings to tassel necklaces. The beautyful made pieces range from £18 to £120, the prices may be high however even by looking at the pictures only you can say to yourself that they will last a long time and will be unique. Here is my favorite which i have added to my wishlist -

Rose Gold Heart Necklace £28 

 

The necklace is made from rose gold which i love.  The heart on the necklace is a good size as i tend to heart ones which the heart is nearly in your face however the sizing of the heart has been carefully thought about. I love the little detailing to the necklace with the size oval with the brands name.

Diamante Hand Charm Necklace Gold £85

I have always love the Hamsa Charm bracelets that you can find. The charm is so delightful looking with the use of diamantes which have not been overused to where you get the over the top not nice look. I love how it has a chain instead of the usual wax coated chord as with the use of the chain i know it will last longer and also add more to the look.

Rosebox Bridal - Sunflower Floral Headband

Ever think to yourself of what you are going to wear to a festival or some event where everything goes? Plan that perfect outfit but need something that will make it POP? Floral headbands have been around for a few years with celebrities such as pixie lott wearing the trend. The headband or crowns are more popular with the general public with many shops selling a bog standard one that is over priced however unique handmade shops such as Rosebox bridal have released their latest collection using a range of colours and flowers.

the headbands are unique and handmade with designs where the flowers are to the side, middle or along. The headband is to a higher standard as the band is made from a metal instead of the usual high street elastic. The flowers used at also not the cheap type that fall apart after a few wears.the price of the headbands range from £10 upwards depending on style which i think the price if fab.

The Ugly Side of Beauty - beauty pageants

I remember when i first fell in love, i was watching 'Miss Congeniality' and i thought wow. Even though the movie was not all about the pageants but that little insight made me go wow. Fast forward 10 years and you find not only young adult pageants but pageants for all ages.

The popularity has led to many documentaries and also TV shows following the beauties such as 'Toddlers and Tiara's'. With more coverage it has led to more anger towards the competitions especially to the younger entries. 

Child pageants has contestants aged up to 18 years old. There are two types glitz and natural - glitz being the more make-up one.  categories may include talent, interview, sportswear, casual wear, swim wear and also theme wear.

In Glitz pageants,  Big hair (including fake hair), flawless makeup, spray tans, flippers (fake teeth) and nail extensions are expected of contestants with routines such as 'sassy walk'. Natural pageants have strict rules regarding clothing, makeup, hair extensions, etc. They may forbid any makeup other than non-shiny lipgloss and mascara for girls on stage

Pageants also have been criticized for the sexualization of young children with the use of make-up, bikinis, routines and also how the child is told to act. 

However after many of the child have finished their 'performance' the simply go back to being children with nay not allowed to wear make-up outside of pageants.

Pageants can earn thousands of pounds however many will not earn money as the prize money would only just pay for the cost to enter.

Soak Yourself Rose blossom soap

At first i thought the price of the soap was at bit pricey at £4.95 however the soap leaves a strong yet delightful smell once used. The product is wrapped in (i think) cotton bag tied with yellow satin ribbon  Each soap also has been tied too with a yellow ribbon to add to the cuteness.

The soap has the smell of roses and i found the design so cute as it had the colours of what roses look like when pressed so the name itself is all over the product.

Other soaps and gift boxes can be brought from SOAK yourself

Benefit Primpcess travel set

Sadly the kit has been discounted as it was limited to duty free. The kit basically creates a light daytime smokey eye but also can be worn as night makeup.

The kit comes with :

The colour is more a dark champagne that leave a shimmer on your eyelid. It is to be used as the base colour and also helps to create a ceaseless eye lid. The cream is very light on the eye and glides on effortless. The size of the pot is the normal sample size however not much product is needed.

I have had this before in another Benefit product and i hated how clumpy my eye lashes went. They all stick together and pull them down like i was asleep however i found it is not as bad. I found putting it on very gently it does not give the clump of eyelashes in the middle. I try not to put it on after it has dried also.

The kit also contain 5 other things. It contained a concealer but i found it was too orange and didn't blend in. Also The eye bright did not make my eye brighter, it would not apply to to finger as it was quite tough and pulley  The shadows where very nice as they where matte which had a strong pigment but still could be blended. The kit also came with instructions of how to create the look. Overall i found it was a nice kit as you could still create the look without the other things.
