5 Minute Make-Up with NO MIRRORS Challenge with Taupe and Teacups || hellobeccy

YES it's happened, it's real, HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS. YouTube virginity taken. Here you can find me and the lovely Jess from Taupe and Teacups trying to apply our makeup in less than 5 minutes and without use of mirrors. Feel free to take a look at our ridiculous faces, it would make me very cheerful if you did and especially if you gave it a thumbs up!!

You can also find us doing the same thing but WITH mirrors (this is actually more difficult) over on Jess's channel or just click below!

on my iPhone - protection Kate Spade style

Lets be honest - noone wants to shell out big bucks because they've broken their iPhone, and this is exactly what I had to do this last month. Dropped to the floor at a wonderful (and wine-ful) wedding and the screen smashed to pieces. Not my only regret in the morning but certainly the most expensive and painful to think about with a hangover.

So, £87 later, I am reunited with my phone and decided to invest in a blummin good case for it. For as long as i've been buying iPhones i've been totally obsessed with the Kate Spade cases. They are the most stylish ones I have ever come across as well as the most protective. Genuinely. I have used them for my iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and now iPhone 6. Until recently there were none easily available in the UK and i'm pretty certain I wouldn't have smashed anything had I already had this case.

 So why are they so good?! Well for one they protect everything except the screen. There are two layers to them - a rubber layer that protects the sides and all the 'rims' around the edges of the phone, including the bottom of it. This also protects all the buttons. On top of this the plastic (and pretty) part clicks into place and adds the extra hardshell protection.

For only £29.95 from the Apple Store for iPhone 6 and iPhone 5 (I had the black one with white dots) they are worth EVERY PENNY. I promise.

Also if you ever do smash an iPhone 6 screen - Apple repair it for £87 and it's a genuine repair.

Lots of love,
Beccy

On Military Red Burberry Kisses

You know those tweets you get offering free samples that seem too good to be true?! Well I went for one... And it looks pretty legit! And even if it isn't this is the most beautiful fake lipstick I've ever encountered!!

There were a few colour options for Burberry Kisses lipstick samples and I went for Military Red because I don't have any reds quite like it and I wanted to give red a try!

          

The colour and formula of this lipstick is GORGEOUS. Not to mention the pattern on the packaging and product which is lovely by itself. 

The colour is stunning - almost a pillar box red as you can see in the bottom picture but a bit deeper. It's a moisturising, creamy formula that slides easily onto the lips and leaves a shiny finish. In short - I LOVE it!

Have you tried any of the Burberry Kisses lipsticks? Or received any other free samples that are frankly unbelievable??! And which colour do you think would suit my skin best? Please help me out!!
