Valentines At Marshmallow Blends & A Discount Code

The last few weeks i have busy making new products for Valentines and Mothers day. I love all the pretty girly products that remind me of innocent love but i also love some of the vibrant sexy shades so i tried to incorporate a little of each in the line up. 
Here are some of the new products that have just become available or have been re-introduced for the occasion:

Sugared Rose Lip Butter £4.50


A rich Lip Butter Made with Shea butter, olive oil, Castor oil Beeswax and honey. Hand swirled with a pretty pink mica. Fragranced in a soft delicate rose water dusted with icing sugar. Packaged in a pretty heart shaped tin.

50 Shades of Grey Soap £4.00


One for the boys. A rich masculine soap with Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, Castor oil, palm oil, sweet almond oil and added silk for a smooth silky finish. Fresh Fun & Sexy.

Bite Me Soap £4.00


Made the old fashioned way with natural butters and oils. Each piece has a unique swirl throughout and is fragranced in Bite Me. A fantastic fruity fragrance with notes of Cherries, pineapple and citrus. Rich and soothing formula that leaves skin feeling pampered.

Voluptuous Vanilla Soap £4.00


Vanilla is said to be one of the worlds best aphrodisiacs so what better fragrance to buy for someone you love. Deep red rose buds or petals top these heart shaped soaps to finish them off perfectly. These are a limited edition soap so wont be around for long.


Lovers Spell Hand Wash Petals £4.50


A gift for the lady who has everything. These heart shaped tins are filled with individual fabric rose petals that have been dipped into soap. The idea is you keep them in your bag as each petal contains enough hand wash to be used as a one off then disposed off. The fragrance is one of the best selling fragrance types at marshmallow blends. A fruity flirty scent that leaves you wanting more.


Strawberry & Champagne Massage Candle £6


Perfect to share or to use alone as a real treat for skin. Light the candle and wait for a pool of warm oils to melt. Blow out the candle and pour into your hands and rub into skin. Warm and sensual made with soy bean oil, coconut oil and apricot to soothe and moisturise. A sweet strawberry with a splash of champagne bubbles.


I hope you like the look of the products. As its Valentines and mothers day i think all the ladies deserve a little treat so I'm giving everybody 10% off all orders between now and the 15th Feb when you spend over £15. Just use the words VALENTINES in the coupon box when you checkout

Where has the last year gone?

Today's post is a little catch up to share a few changes that have happened for me recently that i want to share with you.

The first one which I'm so so happy about is the fact i passed my driving test . Yaaay it was one of my new years resolution's in 2013 that i would learn to drive and get a car and I'm really proud of myself even though it took me all these years it feels like i have a new lease of life.



Ive also started Kettle bell classes and am on a bit of get strong and healthy kick. I have not drank any alcohol, tea, coffee or fizzy drinks since new years eve. I have to admit the alcohol will be re introduced soon but the rest i am hoping to avoid most of the time as i feel so much better for it.
I am sure i will be blogging about the fitness and my goals etc at some point as its playing a big part of my everyday life right now.

My boys are growing up fast. My youngest Rocco is 6 tomorrow and Ive been busy making cake pops for his party. I am finding a bit more time for myself now he is not so dependant on me and i must admit I'm enjoying that bit of time to be me and not just a mum.



Marshmallow Blends is growing in popularity especially here in my home town of Barnsley where i have a front space in a shop where i sell the products as well as on line of course. I am still loving my job and am excited to see what this year will bring.


Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and thanks for the warm welcome back to the blogging community xx

Hair we go again!

I have always had a love hate relationship with my hair. I LOVE long hair. I have always had my hair long but its so fine that unless i could find the time to stick big rollers in everyday then it just looks flat most of the time.
Thank goodness for extensions which have been a god send for nights out or when i want to feel the ooomph factor.

I have tried lots of different types but one of my favourites is the Halo. This picture was taken a few years back and my hair is a different colour now but these have to be the easiest of extensions to pop in and out and for hair that is fine like mine its amazing as the fine clear band means you don't have any tell tale signs of the awful grips which are a dead giveaway. If you would like to see the review its here.



Then of course there are the various hair pieces like this one below which is a 3 1/4 piece which adds loads of volume and i love the look but wouldnt feel comfortable myself wearing every day.




So my question now is whats next? I seriously love this look and I'm hoping by having some extensions put into my hair i can achieve something somewhat like it. I'm looking for a little bit more of a permanent look so thinking of going for the Pre bonded hair. I see Halo now do these here  and i also have a friend who is amazing at hair extensions so when i decide which ones to get i will be getting her to apply them with some before and after photographs.


 

What type of hair extensions if any do you recommend and if you have had them would you do so again?

BFF's Bloggers, Followers & Friends!



Hello out there to the gorgeous girlies that are still following. I haven't been around for so long here but this is where i started and this is where i want to return. I have decided to start blogging again but this time I'm hoping that a few of my fellow bloggers will join me here at Nicolettas Beauty space to add some of their own reviews on the Marshmallow Blends products and any other bits and bobs that they think my readers might find interesting.

I have to say this massive break from blogging has done me good. I feel refreshed and ready to see whats out there again and as I'm turning 39 very soon i think it will be interesting to be blogging when i hit the big 40.

Ive missed you lovely ladies and i will be catching up on your blogs very soon so look out for my comments. If you have purchased any Marshmallow Blends products and would like to be a guest reviewer then please let me know id love to hear from you. 

I cant say its not a little bit intimidating to be returning after such a long break but I'm looking forward to being back and finding some new fantastic products along the way. Please feel free to comment id love to see some familiar faces and if we haven't met on line then say hi and i will pop over to your blog too.

Nicoletta
