As a blogger with a five years experience behind me I am gifted products to review on a weekly basis. This is one of the lovely aspects of blogging and I won’t pretend otherwise. However I want you to know that I only accept gifts (or sponsored posts) that not only fit with my lifestyle ethos but also with my blog standards and topics. Products I would actually buy or wear myself or gift to my family and friends. Rest assured I do frequently turn down gifts, or sponsored posts, that I feel are not right for me or Lazy daisy Jones! I aim to keep Lazy daisy Jones authentic for you…
This is one of the lovely aspects of blogging and I won’t pretend otherwise.
Gifted to me:
With this in mind I would like to share a couple of my recent gifts with you that I love and will use and wear on a regular basis. Makeup and a lovely piece of contemporary jewellery.
1.Etmore Beauty
100% Cruelty Free:
A few weeks ago I was sent a box of makeup from Etmore Beauty. These are my favourites and I would like to share with you. By the way dont be put off by the pictures of very young girls wearing heaps of makeup on the website! The 3 products I’ve chosen are perfect for us grown up girls too…
Etmore products are inexpensive and contain argan oil a natural oil I have come to love, I use it on my hair before washing.
Argan oil is a plant oil extracted from the kernels of the Argan tree.Is packed with antioxidants, protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Is rich in vitamin E, vitamin A and unsaturated fatty acids that soften and hydrate skin.
Perfect for wearing in winter due to the moisturising properties of Argan Oil.
As I age the less makeup I wear. There are 3 reasons for this:
- At 55 I am more confident to go ‘bare’ & I frequently do!
- It sits in my wrinkles.
- So many new products to choose from, where to start?
The 3 Etmore products I like, use & can recommend are:
Mineral complexion only £7.99 and its sweat proof, perfect for those hot flushes!
- Use alone or as a finishing powder
- Ultra-fine, skin-kind, micronised minerals
- Buildable, long-lasting coverage

- Sunny Yellow: Covers tired eyes
- Mellow Mint: Hides blemishes and redness
- Sweat Proof!
Etmore Argan eyes palette in ‘Warm me up’ £9.99
- Made with Argan oil to look after delicate skin
- Argan oil contains antioxidants, vitamin E and fatty acids

Etmore Liquid Illuminator in Champagne Ice £11.99

2. Daisy Jewellery
How could I resist a gift from a jewellery brand called Daisy ? Talk about a perfect fit for my blog, to add to my excitement, I was gifted a piece from the beautiful new Estée Lalonde collection. I had previously been reading about the Daisy Jewellery collaboration with Estée and was eagerly awaiting the launch, I was not disappointed.

Who Is Estée Lalonde?
If you are a fan of Vloggers or are a Vlogger yourself you will already know of Estée . I dont watch Vlogs but I do admire women who have their own unique style and dont copy others. Ms Lalonde has heaps of that! I even have her book its called Bloom
Daisy London says:
” Tactile and textured, the Estée Lalonde collection features sunbursts and shield motifs, complimented by geometric edging and a variety of chain styles and lengths perfect for layering.”
I chose the T-bar necklace in 18k gold plate it is stunning and I’m hoping treat myself to another piece when Daisy gets some more stock back in!
It goes without saying that I am truly grateful for everything this little blog has brought me over the years, friends, opportunities to do things I never thought Id be doing at my age and of course some truly lovely gifts!

I believe that hard work brings its own rewards, and I have certainly worked hard over the years to write a variety of posts and stories to entertain you. I hope I have succeeded?
