Beauty Bargain News - Including Upcoming Beauty TSV's!

So, I've just found a few deals that I thought might interest you beauty lovers out there!

The first great offer that I have found is from Cheap Smells, they're offering Decleor products with discounts of up to 50% (although I've noticed 53% and 58% discounts on there too) - this ends on the 15th of this month, and is only available whilst stocks last! Decleor isn't usually this affordable so this really is a great chance to stock up on your favourite products, or try new ones at a bargain price... will you be purchasing anything?

Next I have news of some fabulous Today's Special Values on QVC throughout May! I'll list these all in their own paragraph with the date they will be available:

Thursday 12th May: Alpha H 5pc Radiance and Renewal Collection! 

I adore Alpha H products (I'll be reviewing a few of their products very soon on here), so this caught my eye in an instant, even though Alpha H is already a very affordable brand (in my opinion). This set will be available at an even better price... with approximately 20% saving on the normal QVC price, and whilst I'm not allowed to tell you the full details and actual cost yet (as these don't get released to the general public until the TSV launches at midnight), I can tell you a couple of the products that will be included in the set. There WILL be Liquid Gold (plumps, firms, resurfaces and exfoliates leaving skin free of dead cells that block pores. Use this product at night) in this set, and a full sized one at that!

Also included is a 50ml Rejuvenating Cream (award winning day and night firming moisturiser. Smoothes away lines, minimises open pores and restores a luminous, radiant glow)... plus a few of other fabulous Alpha H products to boot!

Tuesday 17th May: Smashbox 6 Piece FAQ’s Collection!

This looks like it could be another corker of a deal with just under 20% saving again (it is a great price) for 6 products, 3 of which are:

Their famous Photo Finish Primer which creates a perfect canvas for foundation application, a Waterproof Eyeshadow Palette - 5 colours with brush (colours exclusive to QVC) that are waterproof, ultra blendable and very smooth on application and a Waterproof Shadow Liner (limited edition shade exclusive to QVC). An iconic shadow liner in a pencil format, perfect for use when on the go.  The innovative double – ended component houses the pencil on one end and a blending sponge on the other.

Sunday 29th May: Elemis Get Set Sensational Body & Skincare Collection!

Elemis & QVC go hand in hand to me, and it comes as no surprise to hear of another fabulous Today's Special Value offer coming up at the end of the month. The collection comprises of 5 Elemis products, 3 of which are: 

150ml Pro radiance cream cleanser – deep cleanses skin to reveal a radiant youthful glow to the skin.

125ml Tan Accelerator SPF 4 – increases melanin in the skin preparing it for the sun, and will result in a long lasting, natural tan.

75ml Body Nourishing Smoothing Foot Butter – this brand new item contains Shea butter and Jojoba Oil to intensively moisturise rough dry areas.

These are the products showing in the photo above and there are 2 other fabulous products that you can find out on the actual day! ;-)

All TSV's will be available via this link on the actual day!

My Christmas & New Year Beauty Best Bits!

So this is my first makeup-y post for a while as I’ve been so busy over the Christmas and New Year period that I decided it best to have a break rather than to rush out posts sporadically. Over the festive period I have been wearing and loving many products so I’m just going to do a quick round up of just a few of the products and/or brands that have made my Christmas time even better!

Blingtones eye shadows – These have been fantastic to use, they’re not as heavily pigmented as some shadows I have used, but they are very easy to build up a great colour and the fine, but plentiful glitter element was perfect for my New Years Eve! The shadows I used lasted well, and I got some great comments on the glittery blingy-ness of them – The Bling-tones name is perfect for the collection in my opinion and I will be swatching very soon!

ELF Brushes – I was sent the Limited Edition Sparkle 11 Piece Studio brush set to try out before Christmas, but it didn’t make it here quite in time for the gift guide due to the snow but I did get to try the brushes quite a lot over Christmas and New Year and I was actually very impressed. The brushes felt, and looked a lot more expensive than their £38.50 price tag.


I did notice a little bit of shedding when using the brushes – more so for the larger ones, but really it was a negligible amount for the amount of use. I think my favourite and most used brushes were the eye shadow ‘C’ Brush, powder brush and the small precision brush. You may be able to get this brush set even cheaper if ELF do one of their discount codes before they disappear off the site – although it’ll be a shame when they do go as I feel they’d be a great permanent addition to the ELF brand.

Alpha H – After hearing loads about how amazing Alpha H products are, I just had to try them... but it took me a little while to do so. However now I have started using a few of their products I can really appreciate just how amazing they are; even after just one use I found my skin felt so much better and my makeup, I feel looked the best it has done in a long time too! I’ll be doing more in depth reviews on the products in the coming weeks, but their product’s have honestly been a revelation to me over Christmas.

OPI 'The Show Must Go On' – When I got this polish I liked it, but there were other polishes in the Burlesque collection that I liked more when I swatched them. However over Christmas I decided to wear it as my Christmas day polish and I was totally blown away by it as I’d never really spent the time properly looking how pretty it actually is.

It’s really very bling-y, kind of foil-esque but also looks like there could be very fine glitter particles in it and as the light catches it at different angles you can see the multi-faceted tones within it too. I have actually found myself sitting and just gazing at my nails with it on, but none of the pictures that I have taken have shown it to be anywhere near as stunning as it is. I do feel it’s a very Christmassy looking polish but I don’t doubt that this will also get worn throughout the year too.

What products/brands have been rocking your worlds recently?

Alpha-H Age Delay Hand & Cuticle Cream Duo - Bargain Price @QVC (UK)

I ordered myself this duo from QVC yesterday as I’ve heard so many good things about this brand (I’m actually going to be testing some of their skincare range soon too), but I noticed these on the QVC site as they are SUCH good value.

Normally one 100ml tube of these would set you back around £17 (depending on where you buy it, of course) but for around £23 (including postage) you get TWO of them. The reviews on the site look great (or at least the majority do) so I thought I’d go for it and order them for myself.

They aren’t in stock at the moment, but you can order them on a waitlist as I’ve been informed that they will be back in stock in January!
