MISS DIOR PERFUME.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

I feel like I've not spoken about a perfume on my blog for a good while and since my wonderful Dad kindly gifted me this perfume for Christmas and I love it I thought I'd share my thoughts on it with you all.

I've been reaching for this perfume non stop since I first opened it, so much so that I've had to consciously try and keep an eye on myself when I use it because I don't want to use it up too quickly, so I've calmed down on the all day every day use with it for now, ha! 

Okay, so I've looked on Dior's website to tell you the description/ingredients for the scent of this as I'm useless at trying to explain scents. The main scents are a combination of different roses, rosewood and pink pepper. Don't ask me on the pink pepper side of things but I would definitely agree that there is a rose scent met with something else, which now I think about it a burnt wood sort of earthy scent is what I would describe as being mixed with it. I am usually not a fan of rose scented things but I bloody well love this, I think the mix of rosewood with the rose makes it not so strongly fragrant and breaks it up a little bit so its still feminine and fresh but its almost more of a strong, crisp fresh than a gentle linen sort of fresh.
I really hope my ramblings make sense to you all but honestly if you're on the hunt for a new perfume or just want to try something new then I would definitely suggest giving this a go. I don't think I would have ever been drawn towards this perfume myself (as I mentioned usually I stay away from rose scented products) but I completely rate this one!
Complete Dad points to my pops for this, haha! 

Have you tried this perfume?

What's your favourite perfume at the moment?

JANUARY SALES BARGAINS.

Happy New Year everyone! 

I know 2017 was quite a disappointing year for me and I've heard for many others too so I'm not going to start 2018 with a reflective post of the past year, I'm merely going to continue with my little space on the internet but much more care free this year. I'm simply going to care less about silly things, continue finding happiness in the smaller things and see what that brings me opposed to false hope and continued disappointment.
So, here's to an optimistic 2018 - let's see what you have in store!

Okay, now I've got the little 'welcome to 2018' introduction out of the way I'll get straight into this post. This year I honestly didn't see much at all in the end of year / january sales (which probably wasn't a bad thing for my bank account) but I popped into town on New Years Eve, I believe it was if i remember correctly and came across a section of Skinny Dip Beauty in the Boots sale section. I knew Skinny Dip had branched out to doing more than phone cases but I'd clearly missed the memo about the beauty part so as you can imagine when my tiny little magpie tendency of a brain saw the packaging of these, I was instantly drawn in. 

There were more products and gift sets on the shelves other than what I have here if you want to check the whole range out - I have since looked online and items seem to be out of stock online but it was still allowing me to view the products when I looked but maybe there'll be some items left in your local boots so you can still purchase if you wish to do so. 

Oh, I should probably mention that Boots always offer a pretty good after Christmas / New year sale where they mark all of their gift items down to half price, therefore meaning I paid £10 instead of £20 for the large set in the box and just £4.25 instead of £8.50 for the milk carton looking bath soak - definitely a bargain if you ask me! 
I'm completely in love with the packaging and I must admit they were typically Instagram or Pinterest worthy to photograph, I mean just look at them!

Let me know If you found any sales bargains and I hope 2018 is a good one!

Zoella Beauty // Jelly & Gelato!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Today I'm bringing to you a post that's well overdue by about two months but I still want to post it regardless.
You know what you have a perfectly scheduled plan in your head for something to work out and be organised then it end up going the complete opposite way? Yep! That's what I feel happened here with me and this post but regardless I'm not letting anything stop me and I'm going ahead so I hope you enjoying reading my thoughts on the Jelly & Gelato range from Zoella! 

Body Mist:
I think my favourite product is the body mist so I'll start with talking about this! 
So far I have owned every single one of the body mists from the various different releases and I've liked all of them! The packaging is always so on point and also looks way more expensive than the product actually is - which brings me onto say that I think they're priced so well and really affordable. Also just rewinding back to the packaging; I love having mine out on display and I tend to reach for the body mist/s on a day to day basis. I mix them up with my perfumes or use them to top up with throughout the day. 
The body mist is also super easy and simple to take with you on the go as they are nicely handbag sized! 

Shower Sauce: 
Onto the Shower Sauce - I’ve been using this everyday for what I want to say must be at least a month and its still going strong!
I find that I don’t have to squeeze much of the product out to be able to get it to lather up, which is probably why it’s lasting me so long! 
You can definitely smell the scent of the product when you’re using it but it’s not overpowering at the same time. 

Shower Shake:
This product, is again another body wash but it’s different to the Shower Sauce This is more of what I would describe as a in shower moisturiser, so you still use it to wash with it but instead of the product lathering up it’s much more similar in consistency to a moisturiser. I really like using this after I’ve shaved my legs to make them feel extra silky smooth (or use before if you have sensitive skin). 

Bath Wafer:
This product is pretty self explanatory, it slowly dissolves when put into or under the water giving of the scent as it does. If you're like me and not always the biggest fan of bubbles then this is something nice to add to your bath without it being too over the top.


Bath Frosting:
This is probably another one of my favourite products out of the whole bunch, inside the container there are four little sachets of the bath frosting which I think are adorable and definitely handy for if you want to take them travelling or for an overnight stay.
I've just been emptying a sachet under running water and letting it work its magic of creating bubbles.

Body Scrub:
Again, this is another self explanatory product. A body scrub does what a body scrub does! I've added this one into my little collection that I have sat in the bathroom. It's definitely one of the gentler ones I own, so if you don't want to use anything that's too harsh against your skin but has a lovely scent then maybe consider giving this a go. 

Body Pudding: 
This product sort of sticks along the lines of a body scrub as well - although it's labelled as a body cream, which it still is; this does contain tiny beads which do dissolve against your skin as you use it but it just makes it that little bit different and does a helping hand of doing two jobs in one. (to some effect anyway). Obviously its not a body scrub, so please bear that in mind but I'm sure you understand the gist of what I'm trying to say! 

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

SUMMER ESSENTIALS WITH KYLIE.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

I'm thrilled to say that I've teamed up with M&Co again, this time to bring you something from their Kylie Summer wear range!

As soon as I saw this playsuit I fell in love and I feel like this is such a versatile piece! There's plenty of ways you could wear this; casual every day, on the beach, to a festival with lots of accessories or even for evening time if you dressed it up with some heels.

I just know I'm going to get lots of wear out of this throughout summer and if I've not worn it to death by then I'm thinking of taking it to Australia with me as well when I go at the end of the year. 

Also, the material of this is so soft and lovely to wear it almost feels like you don't have anything on! The material is lightweight too which will be so helpful in hot weather - the last thing you want is the feeling of heavy clothes sticking to you in the heat, no thank you! 

As I've already said I think this playsuit in very versatile and I love how easy this piece is to style, it's just one of those pieces you can throw on and go without too much thought but it still looks like you've made an effort and have your life together! 

Just click here if you want to check out this playsuit as it's only £16.00.

They also have lost of other amazing pieces in the Kylie section, I guess I am biased with being an employee of M&Co but honestly they've absolutely smashed it this summer with the Kylie clothes. There's so many great pieces and I already have a whole pile of clothes waiting to be packed for Australia! :)

ZOELLA BEAUTY : CHRISTMAS.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

I know that the end of January is fast approaching and Christmas is possibly already long behind us but I would still like to share my thoughts with you on the Zoella Beauty Chrismas range. I picked up a small selection from the range which covers most of it without buying all the larger gift sets of products. I have tried products from each previous range and I am yet to be disappointed, so I already knew these products were going to be winners for me, I just wanted to wait until I had tried them all out to be able to speak about them so here we are. 

As its already pretty obvious from the packaging and names of the products there is a gingerbread scented theme here, gingerbread and vanilla to be precise!
I honestly think that even if you don't like the scent of gingerbread you wouldn't be put off by the scent of this range as its a subtle scent of gingerbread because the sweet vanilla partly disguises this and it really does just smell like a fresh mix of baking ingredients - good enough to eat! Seriously though, don't. Do not eat. ;)

I think that my favourite product out of what I bought would be a toss up between the body lotions and the body spray as the lotion smells delicious and leaves you feeling silky smooth (as always the lotions from Zoe's range sink into your skin so easily and don't leave you feeling greasy which I love) but the scent of the spray is just so lovely - I've been spraying this on me and around my room in general to make the scent last even longer.
I really do think Zoe's products will always be a winner for me, from packaging to price I do genuinely love them; Zoe and her team always seem to deliver! 

Have you tried anything from the Zoella Beauty Christmas Range?

ZOEVA MAKE UP BRUSHES.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Towards the end of last year it was my birthday and so for one of my main presents I asked for these two sets of Zoeva Rose Gold Make Up Brushes. I had a few brushes that I'd collected along the way from various shops and different brands, some being some super cheap but amazing Kabuki brushes from Ebay (more money doesn't always equal better quality but they were foundation/face brushes and I'd used them to death so I really needed some new face brushes which Is why I asked for the set of mainly bigger brushes but what I really wanted was some smaller brushes for doing eye make up looks. As I've said I did have a few but only a small handful and they were all more or less the same brush so I wanted some different ones to help with blending out eyeshadows as well as some for packing on colour and also some for the finer details so this is why I chose the set of smaller sized brushes. 

I'm pleased to say I achieved what I set out to do; I now have a foundation brush, a brush which I use for highlight powder or face powder and another which I used for contouring, I've wanted a flat angled brush for a while and this works well for me. 
Also all the smaller brushes have made my dreams come true with creating the looks that I have wanted to, my eyeshadow now looks more precise and blended where it should be - I'm certainly not very good at make up so these brushes help make my life so much easier (I think I can just about say it now looks like I have done my make up with my eyes fully open).
Not only is the variety of brushes good but I find that they're really soft against my skin, they don't feel sharp/scratchy over my skin and also they wash really well! I just use warm soap & water and the make up comes off easily, not only this but they dry quickly as well!

Rose Golden Vol 2 Luxury Brush Set £65.00

Zoeva Rose Golden Vol 2 Eye Brush Set £65.00

Have you tried anything from Zoeva?

Do you have any make up brush recommendations?

CHRISTMAS WITH KYLIE.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

*It's now got to that part of the year where Christmas is fast approaching and the counting down of how many weeks are left has begun!
A couple of months ago I teamed up with M&Co to do two Blog Posts that were based on a collaboration with their Kylie section, which is their teenage range of clothes and accessories and I've been asked again to bring you another post - this time focused around Christmas/Winter from the Kylie range which makes me very excited.
So onto the post! M&Co have asked me to pick out a Christmas outfit to be party ready and I thought this dress was perfect for that, I love skater dresses or skirts anyway but this dress sits so nicely and made me feel very Marilyn Monroe-esque! 
The material is really comfortable to wear and the fact that the material also has a shimmer running through it means that it looks beautiful when you move and the light reflects from it. What more do you need to look appropriate for Christmas? 

Glitter Skater Dress £20.00

Who else is also super excited for Christmas?

ALICE IN WONDERLAND BEAUTY.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

If there's one thing people could associate me with then that is Alice In Wonderland! I've loved the film and book for as long as I can remember and then went on to also fall in love with the recreations and I generally get excited over anything Alice In Wonderland related.
My friends from work are always buying me Alice In Wonderland items as birthday/Christmas presents and some of my long term friends from years ago even went as far as to nick name me HollyAlice!
So, with that said you can only imagine my excitement when I saw these beauty products - I had a meltdown from excitement in Boots I'm not going to lie!  

Pamper Me Bath Duo £8.00
How beautiful are the bottles in this set? - I love that they're like the 'Drink Me' bottles from the films! Not to mention that the packaging on this whole range is so perfect and you can tell so much thought has gone into the detail for these. 
In this set you get a Bubble Bath and a Body Lotion, so the perfect duo to have some pamper time. 

Queen Of Hearts Bath Fizzer Set £5.00
One thing I love is a bath fizzer - I'm not one to have a bath full of bubbles that often, I much prefer a bath bomb or fizzer so I was really happy when I saw these. 
Also, they're pink and heart shaped so what's not to love if you're a girly girl like me? 

Body Mist & Cosmetic Bag Set £10.00
This little set is probably one of my favourites out of what I picked up, I really love the bag and the style of writing with the quote on it and the two little body mists inside are not only adorable but they're the perfect size to put in your make up bag alongside your make up or to just drop into your handbag and keep with you at all times. 
I'm really excited to put my everyday make up into this bag and take with me! 

Manicure Set £5.00
I seem to have a weakness for hand creams as they're something that I use on a daily basis so I know I can never have to many of them! 
This hand cream gets my approval as it doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy so its a yes from me and it also comes with a beautiful little nail file so you can keep your hands perfectly pampered! 

Make Up Palette £7.00
The last item that I picked up was this lovely little eyeshadow/highlight palette. I've seen other Alice In Wonderland Make Up Palettes but I never really seem to like the whole choice of colours so when I saw that these were golds and bronzes I knew that me waiting was finally worth while. I love these colours and the larger highlight is such a stunning colour! 
This palette seems like it was made for me and I know I'll get so much use out of it so I'm a very happy Alice! .. I mean Holly! ;) 

There are other items in this range such as different little sets and also some lip glosses but I just picked up my favourites and what I thought I would get the most use out of.

Are you an Alice In Wonderland fan? Do you have a favourite Disney Film/Character?

ARIANA GRANDE - SWEET LIKE CANDY PERFUME.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

I'll be honest, I tried this perfume just by chance - I'm a big fan of Ariana Grande's cute style and hair so when I heard about this perfume coming out I just thought I'd give it a go and try it out.. It didn't disappoint! 

I really like that packaging, being a typical girly girl I love anything pick and when you add a fluffy pom pom into the mix then I'm won over immediately!
The scent of this is so beautiful, it is very sweet as expected but its very grown up feminine sort of scent - not sickly sweet like some that make them seem for a much younger customer. 
This perfume is perfect for people like me that are still very girly but also want something adult/feminine. I'm such a child at heart so I would literally wear disney sprays without a second thought but I'm really happy that I purchased this as it has quickly become a favourite of mine!

Have you tried this perfume or do you have your own favourite?

KYLIE AT M&CO COLLABORATION PART 2 OF 2.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! 

*This post is the second half of my two part collaboration with M&Co featuring around University/College, so if you would like to read the first part (if you haven't already) then just click the link here. 
With this post I wanted to share with you tome of my top picks out of the Kylie Accessories range that I think would be helpful to have as some fun University/College essentials, so with that said lets get straight onto the first item.

Mini Scented Highlighters - Everyone finds highlighters useful, right?
I was always using highlighters to highlight important bits and pieces of information and I used them so much when it came to revising for tests!
These ones are mini, so they're super easy to drop into your bag and they're scented! Whats not to love? I also love that there's a good colour selection compared to your everyday highlighters. 

Face Mask - Alright, so whilst I agree that the most important part of University is the actual education side to things, theres nothing wrong with adding a little pampering into the routine, especially to treat yourself when you've just sat a three hour long exam or have given up your afternoon in the sun so you can revise - therefore I thought a face mask would be useful to give yourself some down time and a well deserved break.

Ribbon Hair Ties - This item is still beauty related but a little more practical and is especially something that can be used every day! 
Please don't think that I'm about to wander of topic here but if you have ever watched Lemony Snicket's - A Series Of Unfortunate Events, you'll know that one of the main Characters 'Violet' always ties her hair up when she needs to concentrate or focus on something and I am definitely like this. If I know I have a big day ahead at work or even at home when it comes to Blogging I make sure my hair us up and out of my face, so thats why I thought these were super handy to have. 
(Just to back this up my hair is currently tied up whilst I am writing this post out).

Lip Balm - The final item that I chose is the Vanilla lip balm, again this isn't essential in you getting through university and passing your exams but it is something that most people use and it's also something thats very easy to drop into your bag or pocket. If I'm ever running late or I've forgotten my lipstick for the day then always keeping a lip balm in your bag or coat pocket means that you don't have to completely go without. Also a clear lip balm like this can double up in being a life saver for keeping down any untamed eyebrow hairs or keeping stray baby hairs at bay! 
Again, with education and early mornings your appearance can be forced to take a back seat so for those mornings where you sacrifice your make up for more sleep then having a multipurpose product like this could help you in looking a little bit more awake and put together than you actually are! 

If you could only choose one of these products to have for University/College which one would you go for any why?

KYLIE AT M&CO COLLABORATION PART 1 OF 2.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

*A couple of weeks ago something really exciting happened for me! I was contacted by the lovely Laura from M&Co and asked if I would like to have a go at styling an item of clothing - this is also exciting for me as I actually work for M&Co (not at head office but in one of the stores).

Also, while we are at it.. If you're reading I just want to say thank you to Sue for being so enthusiastic about the whole of this and a massive thank you to Dolly and Jo who are the best Manager and Area Manager that you could ever ask for! 

Okay, back to the post!

Laura asked me to choose a pinafore dress from the Kylie section of the website to style, so I chose the black Racerback Pinafore Dress £14.00 The Kylie section is aimed for 9 - 13+ but please don't think that the clothes are age restricted to that. I'm now 22 and myself as well as my friends at work who are also late teens to early twenties are always buying bits and pieces from this section and we absolutely love it, (I'm usually a size 4-6 and I wear age 11-12).

The Kylie section definitely does have items of clothing that you would typically associate with the younger side of the age range but as I said there's also plenty that you can wear from being a teenager up until a young adult! 

The first outfit I was asked to style is for a University interview. I'll admit I haven't been to University but non the less this is definitely an outfit that I would wear for something like that, even for a College / Job Interview as well as just being able to wear this to go out with friends or even day to day. I paired this with a White Long Sleeved Blouse £12.00 (also from the Kylie section) with the Pinafore Dress because I just think you can't go wrong with a smart, classic black and white look; some kitten heels, your favourite bag and a cute hat then I think you're good to go! 

The second outfit using the Pinafore Dress that I was asked to Style is for dressing down and being a bit more casual for the weekend. I would happily wear the first outfit for a casual weekend shopping or coffee with friends but I know sometimes it's preferential to be even more casual than that. With that said, I thought for starters it would be good to swap the heels for flats! I love my trusty Converse and they seem to go with so much and they're an absolute life saver if you just want to be comfy but still look stylish. Secondly I swapped the blouse for a casual jumper, I must admit, for me to be completely comfortable and casual a blouse would not be my go to thing, so I think a plain t-shirt or jumper under this Pinafore dress is the perfect thing to set your outfit off but keep you casual. Then lastly I swapped my bag up, a little rucksack is perfect for keeping  your hands free but also can be a lot more comfortable than carrying a bag on your arm or on one shoulder - this way you have the best of both worlds, in fashion, free hands and comfortable! 

Please let me know which outfit is your favourite? And also if you're guilty of being able to fit into teenage clothes?

This is what happens when you're the size of a Hobbit!

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?

SOAP AND GLORY FAVOURITES.

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog!

If you've followed my blog for a while now you'll know that I did a Soap and Glory post a few months ago, (which you can read here). and mentioned how I liked the almond/brown sugar/vanilla scented products the best, so I went ahead and purchased as many products as I could find with that scent. 

I managed to get my hands on two products to wash with and two moisturising/body butter products. I cannot stress enough how simply amazing everything smells, imagine if Soap and Glory did candles in this scent! Can that be a thing please?
I especially love the body moisturisers/butters because they leave my skin feeling so soft and they're not greasy at all which is a huge thing for me - I hate to be left feeling sticky, who wants that?

You can click any of the links below if you want to check out any of the products for yourself.

Smoothie Star Body Buttercream £10.00 

Whipped Clean Shower Butter £7.00

Smoothie Star Body Lotion £10.00

Rich & Famous Body Wash £6.50

What are your favourite Soap and Glory products/scents?
