Hey guys! Recently, Nickelodeon kindly sent me a box full of goodies to commend the launch of their new series, The Other Kingdom, in the UK and I can't wait to tell you about it as well as showing you the items and the look I came up with! I hope you enjoy!

As you can see, the packaging is literally so gorgeous! There's no doubt in my mind that I'm keeping the box!
One of the first things in the box that caught my eye the most was this beautiful flower crown- I'm not sure who it's by but the quality is amazing and need I mention how pretty it is?
Another accessory, which is so cute, is this moonstone choker! At first I didn't know if it would fit but I was glad when I saw an adjustable chain at the back, it would look so cute with a simple black dress and some gladiator flats.
Something else that really intrigued me were these glitter ankle socks from ASOS- I think they're so cool and they're kind of see-through too! I think, paired up with some Nike Air Force's or Converse, that they'd look amazing.
Also in the box was something that I've been longing to try for ages, and that's Elegant Touch Press On Nails. I know lots of people get acrylics done in the holidays but honestly, I haven't really got the money for them and can't be bothered with the hassle- so I was overjoyed when I saw these! I'm definitely wearing these on holiday soon!
I was kind of surprised to see this in the box and I don't really know why! I wanted body glitter for ages so I could try out some festival makeup look so on the topic, I think these would be great for glitter brows, if you're into the trend, or little dots on your face. They do take a while to dry but look great when they do!
To go with the body glitter, there's some chunky glitter in the box too! I don't have a clue how to stick these to your face, but I may try the body glitter as a base or use eyelash glue to stick the glitter on, as I've heard some people do. I'd love to stick some to my eyelids for a really dramatic look!
The next thing was this Winky Lux lipgloss, it has a sheer pink tint with some sparkles in and looks really cute during the summer! You can see how it looks on me when we get into the look...
Nearing the end of the unboxing, there were also some face gems which I thought were so cute! They actually stayed on my face for a long time which I didn't think would happen, and need I mention the cute heart shaped gems?
My camera was playing up so the photos didn't end up the quality I wanted them to, but I think I saved the best 'till last! I already had three Urban Decay palettes and am stoked to have a fourth! As expected, the eyeshadows are super buttery, soft and pigmented. I never expected anything like this and am super grateful because this palette is gorgeous and has shades in and out my comfort zone!

For the second part of this post, I'm going to be showing you my summer-fairy inspired makeup look to commemorate the launch of 'The Other Kingdom'. 'The Other Kingdom' is launching in the UK on Nickelodeon (which you can find on Sky, Virgin, TalkTalk, BT Vision, YouView, VUTV on Freeview and UPC in Ireland) and it's an action series that follows a Fairy Princess named Astral that needs to decide between being human or being a fairy princess.
It's going to premiere in the UK (on Nickelodeon) on Monday 8th August at 6.30pm and then on weekdays at the same time. I hope you check it out if you're around my age or younger as this magical action series should be amazing!
Now into my fairy transformation...

I used the Winky Lux lipgloss that I was kindly sent and it topped the look off perfectly!
