Hello beauties,

Before the big house move, I was contacted by Chris from Bagable, an awesome online store with a huge array of handbags, purses, luggage cases and accessories.     
He offered me a bag of my choice to review, and after a rather long time trying to choose, I picked this beautiful bucket bag from JUNO.

I loved the laid back style of this bag. This is what initially drew me to it. 
I've always been a fan of bags on the larger side, as I admit; I do carry more than I should.

The Salvador is a great size, with an internal pocket for your mobile, a slip pocket and a zip up compartment on the inside. The main compartment is kept secure with another well functioning zip. 
The bag itself is made to the highest standard. The stitching is top notch and the material is hard wearing. I may have only had this a week, but I can already tell that this bag is going to live a very long life.

The Salvador has a very sophisticated, but casual look.
It boasts an awesome tassel, which can be unclipped and removed if that is what you prefer. It also has some great silver hardware, including the buckles, studs and solid bottom corners, meaning this bag will stand upright even when not in use.

The Juno Salvador is available in both the Moco colour, as seen here, and black.
I felt this shade was more suited to the Summer months and very much like it in comparison to other tan colours seen in shops at the moment.

I'm absolutely in love with this bag, with everything from the colour to the size. The only tiny little qualm I have is that the strap isn't as long as I would have liked, but that really is just down to personal preference.

Bagable is a fantastic website if you are looking for something new. They have a multitude of brands and styles to choose from, and the quality is fantastic.
I had never heard of the company before, but I will now make it my first stop when looking for a new handbag.

If you fancy checking out the Salavdor, you can do so HERE. It sells for £40.50, which I think is fab for such a high quality piece.
If it isn't really your style, then make sure to check out the rest of the huge handbag selection HERE, or just head on over to Bagable.co.uk.

Had you heard of Bagable before now?

Hey beauties, 

This week is Smooch week. 
I was very, very kindly sent a bundle of products to try, so I figured I would dedicate a week to reviewing said products. 
I have given them a good test and I feel this week may come in handy, if you do ever fancy purchasing a few new items.

This is the Smooch Bronzer in Smooched*. 
Packaged in the sleek and simple black casing , you receive a great 10g of product. This includes a highlighter shade (which can be seen below,) that is neatly swirled into the bronzer.
The packaging is very much like that of Nars, and can get a little grubby due to it's matte, rubberised finished. But, this does mean that it's less likely to slip out of your hands.
Inside the casing is a handy brush and a huge mirror. I was really impressed.
I would definitely be happy to remove my compact mirror from my hand bag if I was to be carrying this around with me during the day.

The bronzer itself is a lovely tan shade, with a soft shimmer. It may be a little too orange toned for the fairer skinned, although I very much like it for myself. After all, I do love my bronzer. 
The highlighter is beautiful both on its own and mixed together with the bronzer. I did find it a little hard to use it alone as it's so thinly run through the product. I discovered using a tapered brush was the best was to pick up the highlighter only, if you do wish to do so. 

I found this may not be the best bronzer for use as a contour shade, due to its shimmer. But, this may be purely down to my own preference. Each to their own. 
It does on the other hand look amazing softly swept across the higher points of the face. I absolutely cannot wait to wear this is Summer when I have a little more colour in my skin to compliment it. 

If you are a bronzer fan like me, or even just want to give your skin a lovely bit of colour and glow, this is the product for you. 
When the sun is out, this is what I'll be reaching for. 

You can purchase this on the Smooch website for £13.95.
