jewellery wish list - tresor paris.

Not too long ago, I was invited along to the VIP press preview for Tresor Paris' Nouvelle Collection where I was able to take a look at all the new jewellery pieces that the brand will be releasing for Winter/Spring 2014. It was an amazing evening packed with fellow bloggers, members of the press, charities and beautiful people.

Instead of doing a generic post with pictures from the event, I thought I'd take in all the shiny new pieces that I saw and create my own little wish list. Tresor Paris is evidently one of my favourite jewellery brands, so it comes as no surprise that there are heaps of things that I want...but just so this post isn't a million miles long, I forced myself to pick my ultimate favourites. 

 
rive multicolore bracelet / rive vert bracelet / spectrum bracelet / intime bleu bracelet / tendance violet bracelet / eclat rose ring / eclat argent ring / orbite violet earrings / bande rose bracelet

There are so many new colours and new variations of the classic style bracelets, and so many others to choose from, so be sure to check out the Tresor Paris website to see the full collection.

And just in case you did want to see pictures from the event, view them here on the TP Blog.

glowwbox - the beauty box for women of colour.

This past week, we saw the launch of Glowwbox, a beauty box made especially for women of colour. With so many beauty boxes on the market at the moment, it has become a challenge to choose the right one, getting products that are specific to you. With this, women of colour are sure to get products that they can use every single month.

Glowwbox works the same as every other known beauty box. You pay a subscription fee and get a box delivered to your doorstep every month, but with limited subscriptions you have to make sure you sign up early. Subscriptions are £15 a month (+P&P), which is a little more than other popular beauty boxes, but considering the price that I normally pay for beauty products made for me, I think this is a fair price.

I am intrigued as to what products and brands that will be in the first box, so I will most definitely need to get my hands on it so I can share my views with you. I think this idea is a step in the right direction, giving women with darker skin tones, different skin types and different textures of hair the chance to find and try new brands and products. You can also join me and subscribe here to see for yourself.

Ever heard of Glowwbox? What do you think of the idea?

barcelona beauty haul.

I went to Barcelona with my best friends not too long ago, so I thought I'd share what I bought on my trip. I know myself way too well, and although I did see a few fashion bits that I loved, I just knew that I would return with beauty products.

I also recently bought a couple of Real Techniques brushes (finally! and also, not from Barcelona) but I thought I'd include them in this haul.
