Holly Arabella's Giveaway

A while ago I won Holly's giveaway and last week I received the prizes so I thought it would be a great photo opportunity for you all. This was a tumblr giveaway by the way as we both have tumblr too.

• Aussie Dual Personality - Volume + Conditioning Mousse
• Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker lipgloss in Nude
• 3 Nails Inc nail varnishes - Devonshire Row, Spring Mews and Maple Street
• River Island pink 3D rose bracelet.
  

I was so thrilled with all of my prizes and was really excited to try them all out...

Aussie Dual Personality - Volume + Conditioning Mousse

I've never used any Aussie hair products before so I was eager to try this hair mousse out. Now let me start off by telling you how delicious this smells. It is so heavenly to have such a gorgeous smell in your hair and I love when I catch a waft of it when I'm walking along or something. It's really easy to use and it sinks into your hair incredibly quickly. All you have to do is squirt some of it into your palm and rub it together slightly, then apply to damp hair. You can either apply it and style it to however you wish or you can use a hair dryer with it for maximum effects. I definitely found my hair much softer and although you don't exactly see your hair appearing bouffant, you can notice there is added volume to your hair but I guess it just depends on how you style it.

Nails Inc Nail Polishes, L-R: Devonshire Row, Maple Street, Spring Mews

As part of the giveaway, it was only Spring Mews that was featured so it was a pleasant surprise to find an extra two nail polishes in my package. Each colour is gorgeous in my opinion.
Devonshire Row is a very pretty purpley-pink colour that looks perfect for the summer, especially on toes, and will look amazing with a tan.
Maple Street is a gorgeous bronze-y colour with a shimmer to it and it isn't usually a colour I would pick but I definitely cannot wait to try it out and actually think it'll look really great on.
Spring Mews is a colour I have always lusted after but have never found the opportunity to buy such a colour or had the confidence to purchase such a colour! It's a very pretty mint green and looks like a colour that you could use when doing rainbow nails or nail art, and of course for a full coat all over.
My nails are currently bare so I really need some help with choosing which colour to paint my nails!

River Island pink 3D rose bracelet

I'm confident I eyed this bracelet up when I was in River Island a while ago but I was totally skint so couldn't afford anything. It's such a cute and fun bracelet and I wore it into college the other day and got a few compliments from my friends after wearing it. I think it's so lovely for Spring/Summer and can definitely brighten up any outfit.
Apologies for my horrible hand and arm in this picture, I just thought you'd want to see how it looks on!

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker lipgloss in Nude

Finally, a product I was so eager to try out and always have been - the Sexy Mother Pucker lipgloss! I for one absolutely love the name, it's so cheeky but of course I was keen to see whether or not it would live up to its name...
Although the colour looks quite dark in the tube, it's actually very wearable and is only a shade or two darker than my actual lip colour so it is pretty 'nude' and natural. It smells so delicious, it kind of reminds me of Terry's Chocolate Orange! The lid is brown and sparkly too (although you can't see on camera - sorry!) so that's a nice touch to the packaging.
Now, does it work? YES! I was pleasantly surprised that it works actually because I did think "Hmm, it probably won't do too much will it?' but I can honestly say there is a difference in lip size after using it. It actually tingles after application for quite a while, it's almost like you've got pins and needles in your lips but I guess that's a sign that it's working. But definitely, my lips appeared fuller and 'poutier' than normal so I'm very pleased!

Hope you enjoyed this post everyone!
