Music Magpie

Hello lovelies,

 

I have been a fan of selling websites such as Ebay for a long time and usually sell items that were an expensive impulse buy that I have never used, clothes I have bought and never go on to wear or items I just simply no longer use! However, the fees I find are sometimes extortionate especially for more expensive items (which is usually what I list on ebay!)

 

Whilst searching for alternatives, I recently came across the Music Magpie website. Although the name suggests its a website where you sell CDs you can now sell clothes, electronics, DVDs and games.

For CDs, DVDs and games all you need to do is enter the barcode of the product and simply click get value. For clothes enter the brand and type of garment, such as 'River Island Cardigan' then fill in the size, colour and material form and then Music Magpie offer you a price on each item you list.

 

I think its a fantastic website if you have got a lot of items that you want to get rid of as the total will quickly add up! It is simple, quick and easy to use. For clothes and CDs there is a minimum of 10 items per order and a maximum of 500 so you can make quite a bit of money!

 

Another massive plus point of Music Magpie for me is that you can send all your items to them for free either using their free courier service or free send service. How amazing is that? Especially with the price it costs to post things these days!

 

So that's it, I think I have banged on about how much I love the Music Magpie website way too much! I am off to list some of the old clothes that are still hanging up in my wardrobe that no longer fit!

 

Have you ever used the Music Magpie website before? What are your thoughts? I would love to know!

Alexander Mcqueen Razor Bracelet

Hello lovelies, 

Long time no speak! I hope you are all doing well! I wanted to ease myself back into blogging and show you this gorgeous McQ by Alexander Mcqueen razor bracelet* that i received from Zalando. 

Zalando offer free delivery and returns on all items on their website and sell shoes, clothing and accessories for women, men and children. 

As soon as i spied it on the Zalando Website i knew that i had to have it to team up with my gold Michael Kors watch or to wear on its own. 

Its a double wrap, black patent leather bracelet with a small gold razor blade - Im totally in love! 

They dont have the black version left on the website but you can find it here in white and they also have red, green and yellow and it retails at £55. 

What do you think?

Review: Casetagram

Happy Saturday! 

If you follow me on Instagram you will know that i am pretty snap happy and love taking pictures and uploading them onto their using pretty filters! I have nearly 400 photos on there and knew that one day soon i wanted a pretty Iphone case for them as id seen a few girls review them on their blogs!

Cue Casetagram! 

Casetagram is a website where you can design phone cases for not just Iphones but other phones too, plus Ipads and Ipods. You can choose either a black or white outer case and different picture layouts. I chose the  golden grid layout on a frosted white case for the Iphone 4S which could hold 24 pictures on! It costed $34.99 which translated to around £22 with free shipping which i definitely dont think was too bad at all! 

The best thing i think is that you can log into instagram and scroll through all your pictures on there but you can also upload from facebook and your computer if you wanted to, which is what i did for a couple of the pictures i wanted on which i dont have on Instagram!

My case consists of pictures of me and my best friends, family and glasses of champagne. I love it so much! The only problem for me now is that even though i have had this for like 3 weeks, I have just recently got the Iphone 5! But i have already designed my Casetagram case for it as i seriously love them that much!

You can find the Casetagram website here.

What do you think? I possibly dont think i could ever want another case again! Unless i update them with current pictures.

New Look Wishlist

Hey lovelies!

New Look is a store i shop in pretty frequently and recently they have been making me smile in the fashion department! 

This dress from AX Paris I think is simply stunning. It is so classy and elegant yet it is a teensy £40 which i think is such a bargain! I love the AX Paris brand, I think there is some gems to be had! This would be perfect for a prom or ball!

I think this Aztec Midi Dress is bang on trend for right now! It is stunning but unfortunately really dont think it would suit my figure which is such a shame! Its the right length so you wouldnt have to wear anything underneath such as tights/leggings and i think it would look amazing with a leather jacket thrown over the top! Oh and did i mention its only £14.99?! 

I have wanted this khaki studded jacket from New Look forever! My best friend Carla has it and as much as i have tried to nab it from her it just isnt happening! I think the only think that has put me off purchasing so far is that i have a similar jacket from River Island with faux leather sleeves that i wear literally all the time! Probably time to take the plunge? I think so! 

I am in love with peplum tops! Peplum plus a jewelled neckline is always a winner in my book and i love the fuchsia shade of this! I have hugeeee hips (definitely not an exaggeration i promise!) so they are probably the top i should stay away from the most but i think they just look so effortlessly chic with a pair of skinny jeans! This one comes in at £24.99! 

Roll on pay day! Only 9 days to go!

Nivea #DareToKiss and Giveaway

Hello lovelies, 

This New Year’s Eve, NIVEA are attempting to break a record with the longest kissing chain on Twitter. Do you want to be part of a record-breaking kiss? Follow @niveauk and see what happens on New Year’s Eve! I definitely want to get on board with this and i thought you, my lovely readers would like to to! Who wouldn't want to be a part of a world record?

In prep for this, I thought i would show you my New Years Eve lip and the lipstick i will be rocking when the clock strikes 12! A lipstick i have been loving recently that is quite bright but not too in your face and New Years perfect in my opinion is Pink Friday by MAC. This is quite a hard lipstick to get hold of and i haven't used it much myself until recently, now i just cant get enough of it! To keep my lips feeling smooth and lipstick ready before hand  i would pop on some of the Nivea Lip Butters which keep my lips moisturised. My favourite is the caramel cream version! As they are a balm I don't find them too greasy which is always a bonus.

I would love for you to tweet your New Years Eve lipstick looks using the #DareToKiss Hashtag! 

Giveaway 

NIVEA Lip Butter helps ensure lips are moisturised to the max and ready for kissing! The rich buttery balm melts instantly into lips leaving them feeling soft and smooth. I have a set of the Nivea Lip Butters for one of my readers to win! All you need to do is comment below and i will enter you into the draw! You have one week exactly, so from now until Sunday 6th January 2013. 

Good luck and thanks for reading!

Sleek MakeUP PPQ Shangri-La Respect Eyeshadow Palette & Swatches

Hello ladies,

I hope you are all well.

I was recently sent a new i-divine eyeshadow palette from Sleek MakeUP. They have teamed up again with London fashion house PPQ and created the Shangri-la collection that contains 2 eyeshadow palettes (Respect and Supreme) and 2 truly mattely deeply lipglosses in shades Soul (cool toned pink) and Jazz (Rich, Retro red). 

The collection is inspired by classic Motown side and channels glamourous 60's style. I received the eyeshadow palette in 'Respect' that mirrors the essence of PPQ's Spring/Summer 2013 collection with corals and pinks, along with neutral tones. 

 The palette is made up of mainly matte shades with 8 shades matte and 4 shades with shimmer. As with all Sleek MakeUP palettes they are highly pigmented an extremely creamy. I feel the pinker shades could also be used as blushes with 'o'jays' reminding me slightly of NARS orgasm.

The palettes will retail for £7.99 and the lipglosses for £4.99.

The Sleek MakeUP Shangri-la collection launched on the 26th September 2012 so is in Superdrug stores nationwide now and online at sleekmakeup.com.

What do you think of this collection?

Glossybox September 2012 - Rising Star Beauty Products

Hello lovelies, 

So im finally up to date with monthly beauty boxes and received this months Glossybox a couple of days ago! Its a special edition box exclusively designed by illustrator Maggie Li. I think it looks stunning! This months box has seriously won me over and i am happy with everything i received! I know i mention a lot of beauty boxes on my blog but Glossybox really does have my heart and its one of my favourites. 

♥ Lady Gaga - Fame Perfume Sample ♥

Perfume samples, love them or hate them they do come in handy and let us smell new fragrances that we may not have looked twice at in store! I have actually whiffed Fame in the US and really did love it although not enough to purchase at the time, so i am glad to have a little 1.2ml sample size that i can cart around with me in my handbag! 

 ♥ Rodial - Glamoxy Snake Serum and 5 Minute Facial ♥

Rodial is a brand i have heard so much about but never actually tried. I received 2 samples of the Glamoxy snake serum which claims to help reduce the appearance of frown lines and winkles whereas the 5 minute facial, which i also received 2 samples of is a triple action resurfacing gommage clay mask. I do love a good clay mask! The snake serum is £29 for 10x1ml samples and the 5 minute facial is £10.95 for 10x1ml samples.

♥ Balance Me - Wonder Eye Cream ♥

I actually received this eye cream free with glamour magazine a couple of months ago however i lost it pretty much immediately so i am glad to have another one in this months box as its full size and retails for £20! This has rave reviews from other beauty blogger and claims to soothe tired eye, smooth away dark shadows and reduce the appearance of fine lines. 

♥ Olay - Wrinkle Relaxing Complex

This is a diddy sample size of the Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Complex that claims to instantly help smooth the look of fine lines and over time to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. I am getting to the age where i am worrying about fine lines so looking forward to trying this sample although a little pricey at £29.99 for 50ml but if it works miracles i wouldnt mind the splurge! I have enough for a handful of applications with this sample. 

♥ Loreal Professionnel - Mythic Oil ♥

I really have saved the best until last! I know that mythic oil has been in previous Glossyboxes but i have never actually received it so i squelled when i saw it hiding under the tissue as i have wanted to try this for so long and have been close to purchasing it many times! It now comes in four different oils and i received the original one. Its a full size 125ml product that retails for £15.95.

I do feel like this box is slightly skincare orientated as 3 our of the 5 products are to fight fine lines and wrinkles however there is also a good hair and fragrance mix too. This is one of my favourite glossyboxes for a few months and the standout product for me is without a doubt the mythic oil! I do love a good hair product!

Did you receive this months Glossybox? What products did you receive?
