ZOELLA BEAUTY SWEET INSPIRATIONS.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

If you've been following me for a while now you know it's no secret that I love 'Zoella Beauty'. Each time a new addition to the range has come out I've gone out to purchase my favourite products and thats exactly what I've done here. 

I'll start of with the Bath Latte as I think that's probably my most favourite product out of them all, partly because of how cute the packaging is but thats okay! 
I love that it's designed to be like a little milk bottle and is it just me or does the whole packaging theme have a Great Gatsby vibe to it? Probably just me! 
I really like that you can use this in the bath and shower depending on what you have or what you prefer, I poured a little under running water for my bath and created bubbles so easily. A little goes a long way! 

Keeping with the bath theme I'll move on to talk about the Le Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer. It's exactly what it sounds like and it does just that - fizz in your bath. The Bath Fizzer is designed like a chocolate bar where you can snap off cubes or rows, so you can use as little or as much of the product that you like. I usually pop about three under running water along with the Bath Latte and they just dissolve away leaving their lovely scent in the water while you have your bath.

Lastly with the bath products is the Sugar Dip Scented Bath Salt Granules - these are similar to the Bath Fizzer, they dissolve in the water giving off a lovely sweet scent that lasts throughout your bath. 

Now onto the non bath related products with the Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. I absolutely love this product because it smells so beautiful. I think out of all the scents of every product ever released of Zoe's this one is my absolute favourite! 
I love sweet scents so this is perfect for me and as usual the little bottle is so pretty and perfect to have out on display. 

Another product that I really like is the Double Creme Body Lotion. I really love the Body Lotions from the whole of Zoella Beauty, they smell so beautiful but they rub so easily into your skin so you don't have to worry about being left with sticky, greasy hands which is something I hate. Also, the scent of this lasts well on your skin which I love! 

Finally, the last product that I purchased was the Body Fondant. I've seen products similar to this in a liquid form which give you a bronzed glisten to your skin but I've never really tried them as I imagine them to be quite messy, where as because of this one being in a more solid form and as it comes with a little applicator, I thought this would be really nice to use throughout summer, on holiday, in an evening or even day to day just to add a little shimmer to your skin - I think this product's such a good idea! 

Have you tried anything from this range, if so what is your favourite product?

ABH MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! 

Since I first read about the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette being released Its been something that I've been so excited for. As much as I love my gold/bronze eyeshadows, over the past six months to a year I've seen so many looks where deep reds or burnt oranges have been used and I really loved them so I wanted to get my hands on this palette so I could give those kind of looks a go as well.

As you can see from the pictures the colours are so beautiful and I was also impressed with how pigmented they are. I also like how the eye shadows are powder but they almost feel creamy to touch which makes them so easy to apply and blend. 

For me this palette is the perfect mixture of bold and natural colours, I usually find that eye shadow palettes are either one or the other but I love how you could easily create a natural look or a more bold look with this palette. I can already see that I'll get a lot of use out of this because you have everything in one for a mixture of looks, so it will be really good to take on the go as well. 

I have swatched some of the lighter and darker shades just to show that the pigmentation is as good no matter which shade you use. In the past I have found that some of the lighter shades in other palettes aren't even pigmented enough to use as a highlighting shade or in the inner corner of your eye so I have really enjoyed being able to get full use of this palette. 

Please let me know if you've also got this palette or are wanting to purchase it and what you think of it?

Also if any of you have created a look using this palette and posted about it feel free to leave a link in the comments below.

PATISSERIE DE BAIN BY ROSE & CO.

*Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Earlier this month I was contacted by the lovely Abi (hello if you're reading) and asked If I would like to try out some products that she thought I may like. 
I was honestly just expecting a couple of small things or maybe one full sized product so when a huge box arrived with this selection of products I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Again, thank you Abi for sending me such a generous selection of beautiful products. 

Okay.. so this could be a lengthy post but here we go..

Lets start with Cranberries & Cream Hand Cream! (£3.99). I really think this could be a new favourite of mine. This product smells amazing - it has a strong berry scent which still lasts once the product is applied. Not only does is smell really nice but the cream rubs into the skin so easily, meaning that your hands don't feel sticky or greasy. I hate greasy products that leave your hands feeling wet and slippery so for me this product is an absolute winner in my eyes. 
The Strawberry Cupcake Bath & Shower Creme (£3.99) smells equally as beautiful as the hand cream, to me it smells just like the giant strawberry Haribo sweets, yum! 
You only need to use a small amount of product to get this to lather up so I feel like I'll be using this for quite some time! 
Continuing with the lovely scent of products, the Sugared Violet Hand & Body Lotion (£4.99) smells exactly like Parma Violet Sweets! Like the hand cream this also rubs into the skin easily so you don't have to worry about being left sticky, perfect! 
The Kneipp Body Scrub (£7.95) is something that I've never seen of or heard before but I already know it's something that I am going to keep a lookout for so I can purchase it. This product is £7.95 and you can buy it from a handful of well known companies online. In comparison to other body scrubs I've used, I would describe those more like a paste, where is this product is much less paste like and more like a moisturiser but with the little  beads in it which makes it a scrub. I was so surprised by how soft this made my skin feel, not only did it feel soft from being exfoliated but it also felt moisturised as well. Another reason I really like this product is because of it being more like a moisturiser I found that it wasn't as harsh against my skin like some other scrubs which can be a little too rough. 

Now onto these super cute Soaps and Bath Melts..
These products are around £5 in price for the single ones and I believe the sets are higher in price depending on how many little cakes are in the set. There are various different ones on the Superdrug Website, from individual ones to sets if you would like to take a look at a wider variety for yourself. 
All of these products smell so beautiful and as you can see from the photos that they literally look good enough to eat! 
The two larger ones are soaps and the single smaller one, as well as the set of three are bath melts. If you have ever tried a bath melt from Lush you will know how they melt into a nice oil within your bath water; this is exactly what these bath melts are like! 
They melt under the running water so easily despite them being quite thick so you don't have to wait an age just to get into your bath and enjoy it. They also leave your skin feeling so soft as though you've put a bath oil into the water so if you want to feel pampered and have a relaxing bath then I think these would be so perfect for that.

The last two products I have to talk about are the face mask sheet, which I will admit I haven't had chance to try this yet but with it being aimed at helping with spots and blemishes this sounds right up my street! I don't really suffer from spotty skin but for the occasion when I do have a break out I thought this would be sensible to save for then to give me a helping hand. I didn't see the point in testing this out right now when I don't have any pesky spots to test it out on. I guess that's not something I should be complaining about, right!?
The Kniepp Sparkling Herbal Bath Tablet (£1.95) is also a favourite from the selection of products I was sent. This made my bath water turn a lovely deep shade of pink, dissolved into the water super quickly and the scent of it lasted though out the time of my bath.. which of course was a long amount of time. I find it impossible to have a short bath unless I absolutely have to! Please tell me I'm not the only one? 

So there we are! My thoughts on this wonderful selection of products! Oh, and a round of applause to you if you made it right to the end of this post!

Have you tried any of these products before?

KIKOS SUMMER COLLECTION.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! 

As soon as I saw KIKOS Summer Collection I immediately fell in love. The packaging is just beautiful, don't you think? All three of these products are under £15 each but I think that they look much more high end than that. 

Moving on from the packaging to the actual products..
The mascara is £12.90 and I would best describe it as being a natural looking mascara. It's not thick and clumpy by any means so I found that I easily got length on my lashes but they weren't stuck together or clumpy. If you do want even fuller lashes then I would recommend just applying a second coating of mascara just to get a bit more thickness to your lashes.

The eyeliner is £8.90 which I think is really reasonable. I had a good feeling about this product and I wasn't disappointed. I find that this eyeliner makes achieving those perfect flicks on your wings so much easier! Having the option of creating a really fine line using the very tip or pressing on a little more to create a thicker line helps me get a better angle to my winged eyeliner and so far I seem to be getting them a bit more even to what I'm used to. I don't know whether thats just down to practice or not but I feel like I have a better chance of not looking like I've done my eyeliner with my eyes closed! 

Finally the lipstick is £13.90 and one thing that I really like about this product is the magnetic closing on the lid. I love products like this, I just find them so handy if you just want to drop a lipstick into your bag - you have less worry of the lid coming off and your lipstick doing its own thing all around the bottom of your bag.
I love the lipstick itself, the consistency of the product is like a lip balm so it's so soft and nourishing to apply but the fact that it has a good pigmentation is like having the best of both worlds between a lip balm and lipstick.

There are lots more products to the collection but these are just the ones that I decided to try out, so please let me know if you've tried anything yourself or plan to.

Which one's your favourite?

TANYA BURR NAIL POLISHES.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog.

I first tried out Tanya Burr Nail Polishes at the end of last year and out of all the nail polishes that I own these are the ones that I have been going back to again and again, so I thought I'd pick a few more of my favourite shades and share them with you all.

These are easily some of my favourite nail polishes! They're so affordable (£4.99), the colour pigmentation is really good, they dry quickly and they also last fairly well too.
I find that I reach for these again and again because for me they're just so reliable. 
There has been so many occasions where I've only have a few minutes to spare before needing to leave the house and I've wanted some colour on my nails so I've reached for one of these nail polishes knowing that I can have a couple of layers put on and dried in not much more than five minutes. Perfect! 

I think it's so lovely to see Bloggers and YouTubers producing genuinely good products. TEAM INTERNET!

Please let me know if you've tried these or any other Tanya Burr product.

Which product is your favourite?
