Marc Jacobs Decadence has got to be in my top 2 fragrances at the moment. I love everything about it. Lets start with the Bottle. I frickin love it. The Handbag shaped bottle screams Sexiness and Glam. The glass is a deep emerald and the lid has a black faux-snakeskin finish with gold trim and its all finished off with a thick gold chain.


The main reason to buy a perfume though is the scent and I'm happy to say I like it as much as I like the packaging. Its a lot more sophisticated than a lot of my other fragrances with a sensual woody scent.  With notes of Italian Plum, Bulgarian Rose and Liquid Amber.

This is my go to perfume for them late nights out or that Friday date night.

Whats your go to perfume at the moment?

I love a skin brush and have been using the Magnitone Lucid for the past year once a week as part of my routine (post here). So when I was contacted to see if I wanted to review their new all singing and dancing multi brush I replied straight away.

Their new Brush is called The Full Monty and I think its the perfect name. The brush isn't just for your face it is designed to be used from top to toe!

It has interchangeable heads to give you a body makeover.  You can do everything from giving yourself a pedicure to an all over body exoliation treatment.


I have been using it for a month now and I am loving it I feel like I have an at home spa device.

I use it once a week on my face for a deep exfoliation and I have really seen a difference my face isn't as red a dry as it use to be. I would say I wouldn't use this daily though as my skin is quite sensitive and I wouldn't want to irritate it.

Each Week I will be getting to know Girlgang members asking questions you would know about your best friends for a chance for us all to get to know each other a bit better.

I will also be putting there blog button in my side bar for a weeks advertisement, So if you want to get involved email me at beautiesunlocked@gmail.com.

I have to say I hate shaving my legs.  Yes I could sometimes be mistaken for a Yeti. I get terrible razor bumps and then for to feel the stubble the next day what waste of time!!

I knew hair cream and wax strips would take longer to do but want to see how the results differed. So I decided I would creme one leg and wax the other and see how it compared.

First I waxed my left leg with Veet Natural Inspirations wax strips. Did it hurt? ... yes a little but very bearable. I did all my lower leg and a little over the knee. I don't really get much hair above my knee. It was easy and removed everything and was fine on my sensitive skin. They whereas to use just rubbed the strips between my hands to warm the wax and then split the 2 strips and applied to the area I wanted waxing and rubbed a few times to make sure it was flat to my leg. I then quickly pulled from the bottom upwards and off came the hair.

My only criticism of the product would be sometimes a little bit of wax can get stuck your skin, which can be annoying. The kit does come with wipes to remove this and I did find that helped.


Now here where I have to be honest just as I went upstairs to do the creaming my baby screamed and I forgot. I spent 2 days with one hairy leg and one nice smooth one. Its a good job I have very fair hair.

The removal cream was easy I just applied using the spatula provided waited 3 minutes and the used the spatula to gently removed the cream and the hair came away easily.


Now for the results....

TheWax legged lasted at least 2 and half weeks I didn't redo them for 3 weeks.  The cream didn't last as long and I could see the hair growing back about a week and half after applying.

My verdict
I would probably just carry on using the cream for now as its much easier to use but if I was going on holiday I would definitely use the wax strips again to last a few weeks. Much easier and cheeper than having to book an appointment at a salon.

I think it's really great to see a group people being so positive. I have never been involved in something like this and I am so so excited to see everyone interacting with one another. Having blogger friends has always been a dream of mine since I started out and now I feel like it's finally coming true!

Wow what a Christmas. 1st trying to pack the car with the 100's of gifts before going on a 4 n half hour trip to Simons mums. Luckily the trip was fine and we didn't hit any traffic and the child didn't scream.

Christmas day was different this year. No presents for the adults in the morning as Simons sister is a nurse so had wait for her to finish work. This was my 1st year being a mum and Grayson was truly spoilt even though we asked people not to go crazy. Me and simon was the only ones that stuck to this. So now we need an extension to fit them all in.


Christmas dinner was gorgeous as always and Grayson ate a massive bowl of this. Slightly regretted this the day after when we were greeted with an exploding nappy!!


Grayson now says nothing but Da Da Da all the time. It was cute at first now I'm like really its me you spend all day, every day with, wheres the love where is the Ma Ma Ma.

The rest of the week was relaxing and walking the dogs.

Then new year came I was happy that I could join in the festivities this year as last year I was pregnant so it was squash and lemonade. Simons parents have a bar in their dining room so simon made a cocktails specials board bought in lots of drink and then let the party begin.
