At the Boots blogger event we were also introduced to the new boots emporium. The emporium is a new service that helps you buy the perfect gifts that have a personal touch. The first part we were introduced to was the luxury beauty gift boxes. I love this idea as you get to pick a box and then select three high end products all just for £25. Which is a great deal for the products you get to choose from as the contents are definitely worth more. This reminds me of like a build your own birch box.

Another service is the makeup obsession customisable palettes. I think this is a great idea as you get to choose the size of the palette and then fill it with the exact products that you want. You can even mix and match eyeshadows with blushers, bronzers and strobe creams. You always get the odd couple of colours that you never end up using in an eyeshadow palette, whereas you'll get full use out of these as you picked them!

The next area is not quite ready yet, but coming soon is the print your own makeup bags. This will be a self serve service like for photos, where you can plug in your phone and upload the image you want to print and there will be a nine day turn around when you can then come and collect your finished makeup bag. Whilst we wait they do have some ready made ones with cute designs on and they can still be personalized with an engraving detail for free. Stay tuned as hopefully this service will be available soon.

Next we were introduced to the exciting part, the engraving service! This is where you can have any glass, plastic or wood products from boots engraved. This is great for things such as perfume bottles, makeup brushes, palettes etc. You can have any name or phrase, which you will discuss with a member of staff and choose the exact size and position of the message you want on the product. You could add Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas or even 'will you marry me?' to your chosen gift. You can choose the colour of the writing too by either leaving it clear or picking from black, white, silver or gold. No matter the size or how many characters it is just a one of payment of £3 which I think is amazing. This service is here to stay too, it isn't just for christmas so will be great for birthdays, mothers and fathers days etc. There is only so many Mum mugs you can buy every year, why not get her favourite perfume and add 'thanks for everything' or 'love you mum' etc. It is also a really quick process so is great for those last minute presents. The best part is you do not have to get the engraving done then and there. If you buy something, go home and decide you want it done, you can go back to the store with your receipt to prove it is a boots purchase and can then have it engraved.

The emporium also do gift boxes and personalized ribbons for any gifts so even if you buy something that can't be engraved it can still have that personal touch. 

Whilst I was here I wanted to take advantage of the service and got my blog name on a perfume bottle. I went with silver text as I felt it went best with the design. This is a service definitely worth checking out!­ 

Please stay tuned for more posts every monday and friday.

It was recently one of my local Boots store's 10th birthday and to celebrate they invited a few bloggers to come along and set up a sweet little party table for us. It had cupcakes and even Prosecco accompanied by a lovely variety of beauty products. I was really excited as this was the first time I had seen a lot of the new christmas gift sets and we got to test them out. 

My favourite gift sets had to be the Benefit and Smash box ones. The Benefit ones always catch my eye first due to their bold and playful packaging! They also were filled with some of their most popular products so great for those that are either new to Benefit products and what to try everything or the ultimate Benefit fan. I also loved the smash box gift sets as it had everything in, a lip palette, contour and eyeshadow palette, what more do you need? all great sizes for your handbag and taking away too. the pigmentation of the eyeshadows were so nice, I loved the coral shade. The single product that really stood out to me the most was the Bare Minerals Be Beautiful Palette, this palette had face powders, eyeshadows and a few blushes and bronzers. I thought this would be brilliant for taking away as it has all the essentials in one palette. Plus the colours were perfect for Autumn.

I had looked at a NYX counter before since its come to our boots store but never had time to have a proper look so I was really excited to try out a few of their products. I was really impressed by the quality considering the reasonable prices! I ended up buying a blue roll on glitter as I thought this would be great to use for my halloween makeup (coming soon).

Another thing we were introduced to was the new beautiful you skin consultation service. I decided to have a skin consultation so will be posting a separate in depth description and review in another post, but I shall briefly explain what it is now. It is a non biased skin consultation where you will speak to a member of staff about your skin and they will help you find out your skin type and can work out what products, throughout the whole of the store, best suit your skin. Due to their equipment and skincare knowledge they can give you quite accurate results and an honest opinion. As this helps you look for the products across the whole store they are not biased to try and sell you a product just from one brand and are all for helping you, not just selling you a product. The service is completely free and you do not feel left like you have to buy anything at the end. The service allows you to leave happy and fully of lots of useful information. You also get sent all of the information you have learnt during your consultation via email, which is really useful to refer back to!

I had a great day at the bloggers event, we also were introduced to their new Emporium service, post coming next. Stay tuned for more posts every Monday and Friday.

So it is officially October, which of course means one thing HALLOWEEN! I absolutely love halloween as I love dressing up, make up, decorations and of course sweets. As it is October my blog posts this month are going to be halloween themed, but there will also be the occasional normal post if halloween isn't your thing. This post is to give you an idea of what posts you can look forward to this month.

I am going to be doing a few halloween makeup posts either individually or a post featuring multiple looks. Last year I did a Halloween cupcakes post (pictured above) and definitely want to do another Halloween treats kind of post and some halloween cocktail recipes. I also might be doing a couple of DIY decorations for the perfect halloween party.

For those who do not like halloween I also have an autumn fashion wish list and few a other surprises coming up. I did not do a September favourites as they were all pretty much the same as the month before. I hope you are all as excited for Autumn as I am and stay tuned for all the fun posts that will be coming soon!

Rachel.
