Latest in Beauty Box- CEW Awards- Available Today!

I just thought i would let you know that the CEW awards box is available from today, whilst stock lasts. The box is £8.95 (plus £2.95 postage) and contains some great things. I'm really looking forward to trying the Elemis plus the travel size Liz Earle is always handy! I would be quick as these normally sell out fast. Available at http://www.latestinbeauty.com/youcew/

NARS Danmari All About Cheeks Palette

I debated posting this because of how hard it it is to get hold of but as i love it so much i decided to go for it. This little beauty came out at Christmas time and was around £45 if my memory serves me correctly.
I dislike full size products as i rarely finish them up, the most recent exceptions being Laura Mercier Bare Pink lipgloss and NARS Penny Lane blush but these really are rarities. Anything miniature or in palette form therefore normally jumps out at me!

The palette comes with Hungry Heart Duo (I), Casino, Orgasm, Super Orgasm, Desire and Sin. This covers all bases nicely and therefore is great for travel.

The only blush i don't see myself getting much use out of is Super Orgasm . I've had this before and sold it it due to the result being a chunky glitter face. I would of much preferred if they had but a bright coral in such as Torrid or a neutral like Madly but i suppose five out of six isn't too bad.

Sin was a surprising love story as it pulls a pretty scary purple tone in the pan, it actually gives a beautiful natural flush and is fast becoming a staple!

Anyway the point of this post is to look out for this. Hopefully NARS will release this again or a variation on this at least. An individual NARS blush works out at costing £4.38 per gram where as this palette works out to be £2.14 per gram, all in all a much better deal.......

In other news:

* I've just returned from a mini break to Istanbul which was fantastic, although the taxi drivers may have scarred me slightly. Good food, nargile and some sun all made for a lovely few days.

I will do a  post on this if any of you are interested just let me know.

*I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes whilst i was away. I approached this with caution as i thought it may be bit too 'chick lit' for my liking however i was wrong. This was an easy read with a difficult subject matter which proved to be a little too close to home. All i can say is i cried the whole way from Luton to Guilford but i don't regret reading it. Recommend.

* The winner of the Wahanda giveaway was Becky at Style and the City. I've dropped you can email so make sure you check your inbox!

Hope you are all having an amazing Easter weekend, i managed to eat a whole Easter egg by 11am,  can't work out whether I'm proud or disgusted at this feat!
