So last week I received this package from Elegant touch which I feel was made just for me. Elegant touch have launched their new nail care which I desperately needed to try because my nails need all the help they can get!
I was shocked when these turned up on my door step and just couldn't wait to show you what they are and how they work and trust me you have to try them.
01. Cuticle Elixir - If like me your nails need all the help they can get especially your cuticles your going to want to try this. It does wonders to your nails. My nails and cuticles are dry so a small amount of this goes along way and with in days you start to see the difference. This absorbs really quickly and I have found to be one of the best products in this range.
02. Cuticle Eliminator I find this and the one above is very similar but go together so well. I find on their own they work but together they do wonders. With really bad and dry nails you want something that works fast and is a reasonable price. You need to try this, a small coat around your cuticles eliminates all traces of your cuticles and works like magic.
03. 03. 24Kt Gold Ridge Filler - When I saw this I honestly didn't know what I was going to do with it and how it works. It is a combination of two nails products, it works fantastically as a base coat and honestly makes any colour over the top last so long and look a lot more vibrant. Its purpose it to obviously fill in the small ridges in your nails and I would 100% recommend it.
04. Toughflex Base Coat - Now I honestly put off painting my nails most of the time because I know that no base coat ever works and the nail polish never lasts. This is a game changer and you need this toughflex. A small coat underneath any nail varnish does absolute wonders. It helps the next coat glide on without any streaks or lines!!!!!!! This dries incredibly quickly (I'm talking less than 30 seconds at least) and if like me you have split nails then this is the base coat for you.
05. Super-matte Top Coat - I never ever use top coats because to be honest I HATE anything matte. But honestly EVERYONE needs this in their nail polish collection. If you find yourself constantly looking for new nail polishes like colours or different styles. This for a small price can honestly change the game of any nail polish. I find it almost dries in an instant and transforms your nails like magic.
06. Gel-effect Top Coat I hate the hassle of having to get gels done. And they damage your nails like crazy. This gives the effect of gels, like honestly the exact same. But in the comfort of your own home, doing them your self. They look almost shiny with a neat gel effect. This could save you so much money and I think this is my favourite.
Thankyou so much Elegant Touch for sending me these, it means a lot and I loved trying them out. Did you like the look of anything. Please feel free to ask me any questions in the comments below. Thankyou again.

I hope you can truly see the concept of the product in these photos but if you really get the urge to try out this amazing set then it cam be all yours available in the UK on QVC for the amazing price of £66.00 ( I KNOW RIGHT, BARGAIN ) Click the Link Here.

So what do I get for £66 you ask, well I am here to list up everything !
Contains :
1 x Baked Balance-N-Glow Illuminating Foundation (8g)
Now I think I am going to have to go as far to say this is one of my favourite products in this collection. Its life changing in the world of makeup. I am one of those people that try to avoid powders at all costs because I hate the thought of caking up my makeup. I have tried for so many years to find something that will give the appearance of an illuminating healthy glow and Laura Geller is like my fairy god - mother. This Balance - N - Glow Illuminating Foundation in a choice of Porcelain, Fair, Medium, Tan or Deep, provides you with a balance of glow and sets your makeup at the same time.
Another bonus is what ever the weather, whether your a foundation or powder foundation person then this is actually fabulous. As this is a illuminating foundation you are able to apply this as a one and only base and tried and tested by me I would 100% RECOMMEND !!! It made my face look sooooo glowy and healthy and I really loved the appearance it gave. Formulated with white tea and centella asiatica it's the perfect base for the rest of the collection.
1 x Baked Chandelier Blush in Chandelier Glow (9g)
This blush is stunning and I own nothing like this at all, described as a delicate dusty pink with a golden glimmer this blush provides a soft flush of pink to the cheeks and I think it would work great for all skin tones. And this is a one of a kind blush which contains a cream and powder hybrid formula which gives a brightening natural flush of colour for radiant-looking skin.
1 x Eye Dew Cream Shadow Crayon in Mink (metallic bronze with a subtle shimmer) - (20g)
I am wearing this eye shadow as I sit here and type up this post, and it is currently 10:30 pm so wearing this for a total of about 13 hours I would say its quite obvious that you need this in your life. It is sooooo long wearing, such a pretty colour and unique in a way, I find it can be very hard to find a nice subtle bronze shade but this ticks all the boxes. It,s a light - formula with a sheer finish and a creamy colour which glides on the eye lid which can look very simple but also very build-a-able.
And I have found a fabulous way of using this shadow crayon as a bit more of a liner style product, as with a subtle eye look including a smokey bronze eye, you may line your lash line with this and it appears slightly smokey but not too much .
1 x GlamLASH Dramatic Volumizing Mascara - Black (8g)
This is a one of a kind mascara and I honestly don't know where to start, it lengthens, volumizes and seperates ( YES ALL THREE!!!!) I have never found a mascara that works so well with my short lifeless lashes, mine literally don't curl, get black all the way down to the roots and were they are very, very, very short they indeed to don't separate! This mascara has a long-wearing formula, Infused with pantheon and is my top favourite ever recommended mascara!!!
1 x LusterEYES 24 Hour Eyeliner - Luster Black (2.5ml)
This long-wearing liner glides on to give a high-pigment colour that is designed to be water-, smudge- and transfer-resistant. Formulated with vitamin E and sweet almond oil. We have all been there we we apply our eyeliner, and it looks great and you look in the mirror and its all smudged, not intense enough and just makes everything look worse. Not this one. LusterEYES has worked wonders over the past few weeks and I have worn eyeliner a lot more because I find it so much easier to work with and it does NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SMUDGE!!!
1 x Colour Enriched Lipstick in Pink Mink (4g)
Before receiving this package I had never tried a Laura Geller lipstick, and now I what I was missing. These lipsticks are so pigmented and have a really lovely creamy formula which I love. This lipstick is a warm rosy pink shade and whats great about that is one, it goes amazing along side the blush, and two, its an amazing everyday shade, a real your lips but better colour. Infused with jojoba seed oil, resveratrol and hyaluronic filling spheres it really is a hydrating and unique lipstick which is now up there with my favourites.
1 x Colour Luster Lip Gloss in Venetian Lights (6.5ml)
Ok girls, the biggest trend at the moment is highlighter and imagine having a gloss which is pink but when the light catches it, it glimmers into a golden pink! Well I have a solution, this lipgloss for me is one of a kind, I have never tried anything like this. A lightweight, lustrous high-shine formula with a light-to-medium coverage, designed to feel comfortable and not be sticky or tacky and if that was not enough its also enriched with kendo oil which makes this so moisturising.
1 x Retractable Powder Brush
I know a lot of makeup bundle collections can be quite controversial with what you would expect a brush to look like. I have had my fair share of sets that can include a brush which isn't very good quality and commonly shed. Well I think this is totally wrong. I own brushes such as MAC, Nars, Zoeva and many more and I am loving this brush. Its soo fluffy, does not shed and apply the baked illuminating foundation really well. It's designed specifically for Laura Geller's baked complexion products, each synthetic bristle has a gentle wave that allows it to readily pick up powder and cleanly deposit it on the skin for a flawless finish, perfect for all-over face powders and blush.
And Finally
1 x gift box - a baby pink box with a Venetian window design
Honestly who doesn't love a beautiful gift box which such high quality packaging!
So Girls all this can be yours for £66.00, its a christmas must have and only while stocks last!!!!!

EYLURE TOUCH AND MY BROWS I GH0STBLONDIE
So for a while now I have been trying out these lovely products from Eylure, and I can honestly say I have never tried anything better for my brows. I have tried so many different products and I find time after time I always go back to products like waxes and just any old brown eyeshadow. But I was always curious to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade but as we all know living in the Uk, Its so hard to get hold of and you can only buy it online. I had heard many mixed reviews also so I was on and off about trying it!
But when I received this package form eylure I was so exited to see that they infact had brought out there own brow pomade and all new brow range. This was the first product I tried and I can't go a day with out it now. It honestly works wonders, I found for so long that I could do my brows in the morning with a wax or even a powder and by the end of the day they would be gone. This was even when I used a brow set, They just would not last.
This pomade is a softer than eyeliner formula, just like a pomade (obviously) but lasts so long. You could go swimming with this on and I honestly think this would last. they provide a wide range of shades for all hair colours, from blonde to auburn to dark. And the best thing about this is that this is available in your local boots for £8.95.

Along with this pomade you are obviously going to want the best tools to apply this with and what better than a brush by Eylure its self. Eylure have the best brush I have ever used for my eye brows and once again an amazing dupe to the ABH one. One end which had an angled brush and on the other end a brow comb which is so handy to have all the tools you need directly infant of you. And all yours at the price of £6.50 this is one of my key makeup brushes and a key piece in my makeup bag!!!

MAGIC MINERALS CONTOUR KIT AD | GH0STBLONDIE
This magic minerals contour kit is now an essential in my makeup bag and is honestly one of the most pigmented palettes I have ever had the honour of getting my hands on!
Including six shades and a brush it's perfect for on the go especially with the packaging consisting of a hard-wearing plastic coasted packaging.
It's the perfect dupe for the likes of ABH and Kat Von D.
Lightly apply a thin layer of foundation and a light shade of under eye concealer, then using the brush with the tapered end I apply the yellow shade under my eyes.
I then apply a contour shade according to your tone of skin and they sit so lightly on to the skin applying with great pigmentation.
STEP 1 • Using Velvet 59 palette - Silk Road buff this in your crease as an initial transition shade
STEP 2 • Next apply Mac - Red apple in to your crease this will then build a warm sunset look into your eyes
STEP 3 • Apply MAC Sketch to the outer V of your eye which will make the overall look appear slightly more smoky!
STEP 4 • Then moving on GLITTER! Apply MAC ENGLISH GILT to the centre of the lid which is a lovely champagne gold! A colour which picks up lovely in the sun.
STEP 5 • Next apply a glitter glue to the lower lash line along with a gold glitter on the lumber corner and red glitter to the outer corner. This will create an ombré effect perfect for summer!
STEP 6 • LASHES! A heavy coat of mascara on top and bottom lashes and next I cut in half a pair of Nouveau style 3 lashes to create an original and quirky look.
STEP 7 • OPTIONAL - Using a small detailed brush and some red face paint apply small dogs above your eyebrows to get into the festival Spirit!
STEP 8 • Apply a small amount of mascara to mould your real and fake lashes together and that is the finished look!
CREATING THIS LOOK WITH NOUVEAU LASHES WAS A DREAM! THE LASHES ARE SUPER EASY TO APPLY WITH A SMALL BAND AND A WEIGHTLESS FEEL! MY SUMMER ESSENTIAL!
Top 5 Lip Products
1. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream
This is my favourite Lip Product of all time. I love the consistency of this product and the wide range of colours which NYX offers. They apply creamy and dry to a dry matte formula, an last about 3- 4 hours which I love as many products don't last up to over an hour. These are a great price and alternate to lipstick as they last so much longer I would recommend these to everyone not just cause of the price, but consistency, formula and the overall product.
I especially love the shades, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
2. Mac Cinderella Collection in Royal Ball
The Cinderella Collection is hands down my favourite Mac collection ever. I love the packaging and the lustre finish. The colour is a light pinkish shade and works lovely as a subtle shade with an everyday makeup look. The complete collection is amazing as the lipstick was sold at a price of £17.00 a little more extra than a usual Mac lipstick. This is my favourite ever lipstick and favourite every Mac Product along side the Cinderella Stroke of Midnight Palette.
3. Pixi Lip Blush
The Pixi Lip Blush is long wearing and even after wearing off leaves a lovely pink stain on the lips which is my favourite part. On my this can last almost up to 8 hours which is amazing for a lip product. This products glides on your lips and does not dry them out like a lot others. This is £12.50 and I think it is well worth the money. I would recommend buying this.
4. Benefit Lip Balm
Lolli Balm and Bene Balm by Benefit are 100% my favourite Lip Balms and a great alternative for Lipstick, or lip-gloss. I love the hydration they provide and the pigmentation of them. These are such good value for money and last a long time. I got these in a Benefit Christmas set including the Lolli Tint and Bene Tint and full size Lip Balms all for £17.00. They usually retail for £14.00 each and I would still pay this as they are so good. Lolli Tint is a pink shade with undertones of purple and Bene Balm is a Red shade whch looks beautiful as a balm. I love these and are great for everyday wear and hydration.
5. TOPSHOP Lipstick
Topshop lipsticks have been some of my favourite lipsticks even above high end stores. They aren't to expensive and I love the formula of the lipsticks. My favourite shades are "Pillow Talk" Alight pink shade, this is my favourite and looks so lovely. "Legend" A bright pink, great for festivals. "Hazard" A deep purple shade with a Red undertone and looks great in the winter and fall.
Thank you for reading.
