Tots Tuesday - Philosophy Birthday Girl Gift Set

Hello Ladies,

I hope you are all well! Tuesday's on the blog will now be a new series called Tots Tuesday! My 5 year old daughter Addison will be reviewing products in her own words, and telling you exactly what she thinks, in a way that only a 5 year old can. I thought it might be something fun and different, especially if you're looking for a gift for the tot in your life!

First up a little bit about my Addie-Bear -

Addie, can you tell everyone a little bit about yourself?
I'm 5, but I'll be 6 in December,so really I'm 5 and three quarters and a bit, and I'm in Senior Infants, but I don't know if I like it yet, there is all hard work and not much play time and sometimes I don't get to finish my lunch!

And can you tell everyone why you like makeup and all the other nice things?
Because you (that's me) have lots of it, and you're always taking pictures of things and its fun to play with and I like things that make me smell nice except sometimes I don't like the horse shampoo, because I'm not a horse mammy.



So Addie, can you tell me what you get in the Birthday Girl set?
You get lipstickgloss for your lips, and you get a shower gel that you use in the bath. It comes in a nice round tub with a ribbon on top, which I like because I can keep it after I'm finished the things to put stickers in, and it has pink sparkles on it because its for girls and its the same colour as my room!



Can you tell me a little bit about the shower gel and why you like it?
I like that it smells like birthday cake, and sometimes if you want bubbles you can pour some into the bath and it makes birthday cake bubbles.

And can you tell me how you think it makes your skin feel after your bath?
I think it makes my skin feel clean and for a little while it makes it smell like cake, but sometimes it makes me want birthday cake, can I have hello kitty on my birthday cake this year?


The last thing is for your lips, can you tell me a little bit about why you like this so much?
This is my favourite, its lipstickgloss that the lipstick artists use in makeup. You can put it on your lips!

Very good, and can you tell everyone what it looks like and how it feels when you have it on?
Well, it looks a bit like a honey yellow colour that has gold sparklies floating in it. You have to squeeze the tube CAREFULLY because too much can come out and you make a mess, but I don't do that! (LOL) When you put it on it makes your lips look shiny and gold and when you go like this (rubs lips together) it feels nice and gooey and then you can go like this (sort of smacks lips) and it makes a pop noise which is funny.


So, do you think people should buy this? And who would it be good for?
I do think they should buy it for people who have birthdays, but you don't really need to have a birthday to use it, because I used it and it wasn't my birthday and nothing bad happened.

Good, I'm glad we cleared that up. Nothing bad happens if you use this when its not your birthday! Did you think maybe the birthday police my come and give out to you?
Are there birthday police?!

No Addison, I think you're safe enough... Say bye bye to everyone!
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Addison chose this picture of her so you could see what she looks like
and how scary she looked this Halloween!

That's it for this weeks Tots Tuesday!
I really hope you enjoyed!
Let me know what you think,
and if you would like to see more of these posts!
Until next time

Sumptuous Showers with Roger & Gallet

Hey Ladies,

I hope you're all well! Now you all know of my addiction to Roger & Gallet, but I have discovered a new love within the R&G family, The Roger & Gallet Shower Range! Since discovering these, all my other shower and bath products have taken a back seat. Everything about the range just draws me to it, the beautiful packaging, the bright colours, and of course, the heavenly scents, like their sister fragrance waters, these are just perfection!


Look at the gorgeous colours! They're just so bright and beautiful! The great thing about these is that they all contain glycerin to soften, aloe vera and shea butter to moisturise, and coco betaine to cleanse. They are sulphate, colourant, paraben and soap free! Lets have a closer look, shall we?


Gingembre Shower Gel is an absolute gem, I'm a huge fan of the original fragrance water, it's just a stunning scent. I was a little unsure how this would transform scent wise from fragrance water to shower gel, but wow! With notes of ginger and bergamot, this is a very uplifting, stimulating scent, a definite must for Winter mornings to come!


Jean Marie-Farina, this to me is just a piece of heaven! I adore this scent, it's breath taking. It's clean, aromatic and fresh! This is one I can promise you I will repurchase again and again. When the gel hits hot water, it's like a fragrance explosion! It has to be one of the most incredible scent experiences ever! If you want to pick one fragrance to start with, I suggest you start with Jean Marie-Farina.


Fleur de Figuier is one of the newest additions to the family. This is a shower cream, one of two creams in the collection really feels like its going that extra mile to help nourish and hydrate your skin. Scented of aromatic fruits such as mandarin, orange, grapefruit, fig, cumin and musk. It's quite a complex scent that will leave you feeling totally relaxed, heaven!


Bois d'Orange, shown here in a travel size of 50ml which is incredibly handy, is a strong fresh accord of citruses, warm nuances and the strength of woods, combined with fragrant oranges makes this an absolute treat to use! Perfect for your morning shower to perk you up!

My final thoughts on Roger & Gallet's Shower Range? Perfection. You really cannot go wrong with any of the choices available to you in this range. You're bound to find something to suit your taste. I will definitely be exploring the range further!

That's it for now ladies,
I hope you enjoyed!
What are your thoughts on the shower range?

Christmas with Clarins - The Essentials Eye Palette

Hey Ladies,

I hope you are all well! I have a little something special to share with you today. The Essentials Eye Palette, limited edition from Clarins this Christmas! Clarins have to be one of my all time favourite brands for seasonal collections. Every new offering, no matter what the time of year is guaranteed to be absolutely stunning and include something for all tastes. This palette is no exception with its beautiful packaging, high quality shadows and creamy formula. Lets have a little look shall we?!


Lets talk about the packaging first, the recyclable palette is made from sturdy cardboard, with a plastic overlay to protect from spills, wears and tears. It has an elasticated band to secure it when its closed, which is fantastic. Once you open this little beauty, it will reveal a mirror in the lid, and a double ended Clarins brush as an extra perk! The palette itself is completely removable which I love! Clarins seem to have thought of everything with this palette!


 If you have ever tired the Clarins quads that are normally released with seasonal collections, you will already be familiar with the beautiful quality, pigment and longevity of Clarins shadows. The everyday shades in this palette are just stunning and there is bound to be numerous looks to be put together for even the choosiest makeup connoisseur! The wearable shades and soft textures such as satin and pearls will take you seamlessly from day to night!


From Left to Right - Peach Satin Nude, Golden Pearl, Rose Gold Pearl, Deep Rose Satin, Taupe Pearl, Golden Taupe Pearl, Deeper Brown Pearl, Warm Taupe Pearl, Deep Rose Gold Pearl, and Dark Brown Pearl. Not the official names, more descriptions of the shadow colours. Whether you prefer a simple wash of colour or a dramatic smokey eye, you can do it all with this wonder palette!


A little look to give you an idea of what this little beauty can do! This is a must have for me, whether you plan on purchasing it for yourself or for someone special, they certainly wont be disappointed. From the packaging to the high quality of the shadows, this palette is sure to become a staple in your every day routine, I know it has in mine!

That's it for now ladies,
I hope you enjoyed!
