Boob Glue

Okay, then. Boob Glue. I’ve been wandering around the internet again and discovered this. It’s a liquid, roll on glue that you apply liberally over each boob to hold them in place in your outfit. As far as I can tell, Boob Glue is for those no-bra outfits where you don’t really want any movement or strapless bra moments where inadvertent popping out would be a no-no.

It kind of suggests that it will give added perkiness but from the ingredients, I’m not quite sure how. Nonetheless, it’s quite an interesting idea and I can’t decide if it’s a crazy one or a life-saver if you want your boobs to say exactly in one place! It’s a USA product only at present (HERE).. would you glue your boobs? I’m absolutely intrigued because I think we’ve all looked at dresses that don’t have any room for a bra (backless for a start) and thought, no, on that one single thing. However, I’m not sure how revealing it would be if you glued your dress to your boobs! You would probably have to pray for a warm night.

Ingredients:

ALCOHOL DENAT, ETHYL ESTER OF PVM/MA COPOLYMER, WATER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, AMINOMETHYL PROPONAL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ALOE BARBENSIS LEAF JUICE, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).

NB: As it turns out, SOCK Glue is a thing! Japanese sock glue in particular to stop your socks slipping down, but also for Irish Dancers. Seriously, who knew?

L’Occitane Almond Collection

L’Occitane Almond

The L’Occitane Almond Collection is one of my favourites – it’s ultra nourishing and so prettily scented. Almond Oil Shower Gel has so many awards I’m surprised it hasn’t found an agent and left for Las Vegas. So, a little upcoming news for the range – line extensions aren’t usually that noteworthy but one of the new items is Lighter Legs (£20) which I’m certainly interested in.

I once got very, very told off by a PR for making fun of a ‘heavy legs’ gel they had in their range – I’d never heard of heavy legs so I really didn’t understand but ever since then, I’ve made sure I’m more educated about it because tired and aching legs really aren’t funny. If you’re in the first flush of youth then tired and achy legs probably won’t have happened at all, but as you get along in life all sorts of aches and pains pop up that you hadn’t factored in. In France, ‘heavy legs’ is much more of a thing than it is here which isn’t to say that we don’t get achy and fatigued limbs, but more that we don’t really factor in treating them with non medical products. While L’Occitane Almond Collection Lighter Legs isn’t a medical treatment, the inclusion of menthol and peppermint essential oil certainly will refresh the sensation (although, of course, not deal with the cause) of tiredness in feet and legs. In fact, having used this kind of product (and my dad, who at 78 goes skipping off to Egypt every five minutes swears by them) it’s just a lovely, hot weather fatigue kind of relief. And if your limbs feel fresher, they also feel lighter.

I’m expecting L’Occitane Almond Collection Lighter Legs to get as many awards as Almond Oil Shower Gel when it launches in May. And if you’re wondering why the ballet book in the picture, it’s because the new products have been put to the test by members of the Royal Ballet – their top picks are going to appear as a collection, also in May. It’s tu-tu exciting!

Feelunique-2BHair-2BHeroes-2BBeauty-2BBox-2BReview-2B-2-

I am a massive Pinterest addict which you may already know if you follow me there (Pinterest.com/GemmaMagpie) or on Twitter, and it’s my favourite form of procrastination. I have been avidly pinning for two years now, but only in the last twelve months have I really taken it more seriously after discovering its huge potential. Pinterest has become my biggest traffic source and every blogger should be utilising Pinterest if they want to improve their traffic. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a few brands thanks to my Pinterest, but imagine my delight when Feelunique contacted me and told me that they wanted to collaborate with me on a massive Pinterest giveaway – I was very excited to say the least.

We are giving away £500 of Feelunique vouchers in our Pinterest giveaway; one top winner will win a £250 voucher, and there will be five runners up who will win a £50 voucher. You can read the full terms and conditions here, but it’s incredibly easy to enter so you really must enter as the prizes are fantastic. If you’d like to enter this awesome giveaway, you must complete the following three steps;

  • You must create a public Pinterest board and name it ‘feelunique’s Makeup Magpies’ – it’s important that all entrants use this exact title otherwise we won’t be able to see your entries.
  • Once you’ve created your feelunique Makeup Magpies Pinterest board, it’s time to get pinning.. you need to pin your favourite Summer beauty looks to the board, alongside the products you’d use to create the looks which all must be pinned from the feelunique.com website. As per the terms and conditions, there should be no more than 50 pins per board.
  • Lastly, you must follow both feelunique and Miss Makeup Magpie on Pinterest to be entered.

Obviously I cannot enter myself, but here are a selection of the gems I’d purchase if I was lucky enough to win.. Feelunique really is beauty product heaven. Firstly I would go for the new Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion £21.50 as it sounds like the perfect spray for creating beautiful beachy waves. I would also love to pick up the full size of the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara £19.50 as it’s my absolute favourite mascara of all time and my current tube is soon to finish. I got a sample of the DKNY MYNY Eau de Parfum £49 last month and I fell in love with it, so i’m dying to get hold of the full size. I’ve seen so many rave reviews for the new shades of the Clinique Cheek Pops £17, and I’ve already bought Pink Pop from the new line up, but Melon Pop is next on my list for sure as it’s so pretty. If I won, I’d have to have one splurge purchase and it would have to be the new ghd White Platinum Styler £165, as it’s the most amazing pair of straighteners which is proven to be healthier for the hair than other straighteners, and offers more shine too which has me sold completely.

If you would like some inspiration, you can see the board I created here with my favourite Summer beauty looks and the products I’d used to create them. I really hope you all enter as it’s such an amazing giveaway and I’m just so happy that Feelunique chose to collaborate with me on such a massive promotion; I feel very lucky indeed. If you have any questions regarding the giveaway at all, please comment below and I’ll do my very best to answer them but please check the terms and conditions for the more detailed information.

Good luck to all those that enter.. there are some amazing entries so far already, and it’s open until the 19th of July.

Long Last Gloss Wear

I always think that Clinique Long Last Glosswear is a little bit overlooked – it has an 8 hour last claim on it which in my experience isn’t quite the case, but as long lasting as gloss can be, Clinique have it nailed. When I compare to say, Bobbi Brown, it’s a very similar formula and feel, and up against the new breed of lip oils or similar gel-glosses, it does last longer, but obviously, it feels stickier. If you’re a gloss fan, like me, and you don’t mind that little bit of tacky feel, then these are well worth a look. Clinique Long Last Glosswear isn’t new, but they’ve added some new shades – the ones I have here all have a little bit of glimmer to them. I’ve taken pictures in a warm light so you can see the glimmer and then in a cool light which shows the shades better. They’re all very light touches of colour, so going from the bottom to the top: Sweet Tooth, Adore U, Bamboo Pink and argh.. the final one, the label has fallen off! Blogger problems, hey? But from checking on-line I think it’s Devoted. One of the things I… Read More
