Zoeva Complete Set

Hello Lovelies! 

I've been waiting for a week for these beauties to arrive at my door and I'm officially in love. I didn't think I could genuinely get this excited over makeup brushes. The complete set from Zoeva consists of 5 Face Brushes and 10 eye brushes. It wasn't the cheapest set on the website and worked out at about £84 (£5.60 per brush) but it was recently my Eighteenth so I decided to treat myself HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. I knew that this was going to be a good investment in the long run and it's something that I'll use every single day. The thing that excited me the most were the amount of eye brushes. I've recently got more into and experimental with eye shadow so I can't wait to give these a go!

The quality of the brushes is outstanding, there is a variety of natural and synthetic brushes. I personally love the synthetic brushes purely because they're so so SO soft!

I'm totally in love with the brush clutch you get with the brushes, it's too good for the brushes! If it didn't have the Zoeva name across the front I'd totally take it on a night out with me (probably still will). The delivery was quick and the customer service was extremely helpful with any queries that I had.

My Everyday Makeup

I made one of these posts way over a year ago, so I thought it'd be about time I updated you all on what I paint on my face every day. 

All of my products (excluding the naked palette) are off the high street and can be found in shops such as superdrug/boots/supermarket. Being a student I can't afford all the fancy products many of  the YouTubers/bloggers use, so I try to find cheap but good quality alternatives that work well with my skin. I understand that everyone is different when it comes to makeup and what they use, some of my staple products might be products that you loathe, but what I use are products that I find work well with my skin type (dry to normal). I'll try link the products I used down below or the rough price and place where you can buy them from.

Kidecals Chalkboard label review

Back in January the lovely company Kidecals contacted me and asked if I would review one of their products. Kidecals are an online company from the US who sell labels for almost anything you could think of. They have a range of designs from colourful vibrant patterns to simple layouts. You can also personalise your labels with your name or initials depending on what you need them for. One product stood out to me and they were the keycals, unfortunately they are only made for Apple mac computers so it was pointless for me to purchase one, as all I would do is gaze at it lovingly and cry about not having an Apple mac for it to look pretty on. Kidcals gave me a $22 voucher to spend on their site, and this is what I bought!

Chalkboard label Pack of 12 / $10*

 I purchased the Chalkboard label in the cloud design. Now you're all probably thinking why didn't she get anything more colourful?, well the magic behind these labels is that they are like a chalkboard, with one simple wipe of water the writing comes off the labels. I think this is an amazing feature as it allows me to change what I can put in each container without trying to rip the sticker off (these things have the holding power of superglue I swear). This pack of 12 labels cost $10 dollars, which when ordering I thought was a bit over priced, but only when you see them in the flesh you realize the quality. They come in 2 sizes: 3 inch (x6) and 4 inch (x6) which is great when you have different sized, in my case, pots and jars you want to label. Below are examples of what I have used my labels for. The only thing I could fault is the delivery charge as I wanted to buy more but had to use the remaining voucher money on delivery.

 They recommend writing on them with chalk or chalk ink. I used a white gel pen which worked just as well and wipes away just as well (as shown below)

Because the people at Kidecals are so lovely they have given me a 15% discount code for all you lovely readers.
