brand focus

Hey everyone,

Today's post will be quite short and sweet- almost as sweet as the brand I'm going to be discussing today! As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm a bit of a vintage lover. Although my vintage collection isn't as large as I'd like it to be, I love everything about fashion from the past. A while ago I wrote a guide to vintage shopping (which you can read here), but I've recently noticed a lot of online independent vintage shops popping up online too, whether it's Etsy or even Depop! One shop that I've recently been introduced to is BambleVintage- a super cute and quirky vintage Etsy store run by an equally fab Londoner called Soph. Soph created BambleVintage over a year and a half ago, and sells unique vintage items that are equally fun and fabulous.

Above are some of my favourite BambleVintage pieces! The red bow is super cute, as is the star sweater. I could most definitely see myself wearing that over-sized houndstooth coat though! It's monochrome, it's vintage, and it's a coat- three of my most loved things.

Soph has kindly offered 10% off orders over £10, especially for Oh Hey There Rachel readers! Simply enter the code OHHEYTHERERACHEL at the checkout (expires Feb 16).

Hey everyone,
I recently attended an event for a brand I knew little to nothing about- Mary Kay. That's definitely one of the perks of blogging, as I love discovering new brands! Believe it or not, Mary Kay have been around for over 50 years. The company was founded by Mary Kay Ash in 1963, and they're a direct sales company, meaning the products are sold by a consultant from door to door. They also sell their products online.
At the event I was lucky enough to try out some products, so I thought I'd write 3 mini reviews rather than writing them separately!
True Dimensions Lipstick* First of all I just want to mention the packaging: I love how expensive everything looks, although the products do feel a bit plastic-y in your hands. I like how this lipstick pops out unlike most lipsticks! I received the shade 'wild about pink' and although it's not a shade I'd normally wear, I really like! It's quite sheer but that's why I like it, as it's quite natural, and very buildable. It's extremely creamy and moisturising too. The only thing I dislike about this lipstick is the wear time- it doesn't last long at all! At €18, it's a bit steep seeing as it came straight off my lips.
Ultimate Mascara* I love this mascara! It really does give a lot of extra volume, without looking clumpy. The brush is nice and small so perfect for bottom lashes, and it doesn't smudge either. Score! €18
Sheer Dimensions Powder* In all honesty, I find the term 'powder' in the title to be a tad misleading, as it's definitely a blush in my eyes. Names aside, this beautiful blush in the shade 'lace' is the perfect coral shade for Summer. It's not too bright, but gives a lovely natural glow on the face. I also love the 3D design, as it reminds of the Clinique blushers! Again, I find the price a bit high as the packaging is quite flimsy but it's still a gorgeous product. €26
