February Wishlist..

Hello my little lovelies! So instead of doing 'Wishlists' here there and everywhere, i thought i'd just do one each month and combine all the things i want and share with you!

1. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation:- This was raved about last year, and i was considering buying it, however once i bought my Match Perfection foundation i didn't feel the need to give it a try. But now the springs coming back around again, i want to stretch out and try it! £8.99

2. Mac Eye shadow in Naked Lunch:- Now, I've been drooling over this for a number of months, as its just so beautiful, its a nude-ish colour with a pink-y tone! Its a lovely everyday eye shadow! £12.50

3. Sleek Blush By 3 Lace:- I saw this in one of Zoella's video months ago, and instantly wanted it, its a palette of three highly pigmented (tested and swatched by me in store) blushes, that work perfectly to shape the face and add definition! The three blushes in this palette look like they are perfect for spring. £9.99

4. Naked 3 Palette:- We all know what this is don't we! Yeah, its The Naked 3 palette, this came out in November time and everybody was instantly yearning for it, and obviously its enticed me too! I think the tones in this palette are different to any others that Urban Decay have ever before released £37.00

5. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer:- Yet another hyped about product that everyone was going crazy about! Lot's of my friends have recommended it to me and I've read about it on other beauty blogs, and i think its about time i jumped on the band wagon and tried this out! £4.19

6. Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eye shadow, Pink Gold:-The first reason why i want this is because according to the beauty community, these are fantastic, and the second reason, i would want this if i buy some of the stuff (like The Naked 3 palette) above, this will work as a fantastic eye shadow base! I'd also like to try this out in a few of there colours! £4.99

7. Maybelline The Falsies:- Abbie got this in October, and has recommended it to numerous times, and i thought it was worth a look at! Abbie's posting a Review soon so watch out for that! £7.99

Just so you all know, i'm not going to be running out to the shops and buying this stuff straight away, and i might not buy some of this at all. This is just a wishlist!

Anyway, i hope you enjoyed today's post guys!

Purchase of the week #1

Sleek Pomegranate Blush

Hello, my little lovelies! Today i thought i'd share with you a new series i'm hoping to introduce to our area of the interweb, 'Purchase Of The Week'. There not going to be long rambly posts, they will be short snappy snippits, and hopefully you'll enjoy them! Alrighty then, on to the post!!

As you can see by the picture above, this weeks purchase was a Sleek Blusher,  in the shade Pomegranate. It a dark, cranberry shade with shimmer running through it. Its highly pigmented, and is great for that rosy cheeked winter glow. However, you do have to e light handed, and apply with care as you can go from white as a ghost, to a glowy as a tomato in seconds. To apply this i would probably use the Real Techniques Setting Brush, as it picks up the picks up the pigment perfectly. I bought it from Superdrug, for £4.49, not too bad for a good blusher! Available HERE 

If my opinion on this blusher doesn't change, i will definitely be purchasing more Sleek Blushers!

Montagne Jeunesse

Hola, my little beauties! Over the past couple of weeks  I've tried a whole lot of the Montagne Jeunesse face masks, and i just wanted to right a quick post on this fruit smoothie one!

Firstly it smells delicious! It literally smells divine! It smells really fruity, and its main notes are Raspberry And Mango! 

So this mask is a drying pore de-cloging one, that you leave on for 10-15 minutes until it turns dry, from a thick cream. When dry you can wash off with warm water! Personally i think that the peel of masks are less messy, but these are still great! Your skin immediately feels smoother and clean, however i haven't really noticed and difference in terms of pores or long term effects. I think these masks are great for chilling with friends relaxing at home or even at a pamper party! If your looking for a products that's going to miraculously change your skin, you should probably look elsewhere. However i would definitely repurchase these, as there relatively cheap, and do make you feel nice and soft! 

I do recommend these face masks! I would give these 7/10

Hope you enjoyed today's post lovelies!

Lush Bath time: Space Girl

Hello my little lovelies! As you probably all know, I'm a HUGE LUSHie! Anything that makes bath time alittle more fun, is a bonus in my eyes! I love relaxing in the bath, and letting my worries melt away! I love to pop a little bath bomb in my bath to help with the process, and this one is my all time favorite!

Space girl, is one of LUSH's cheapest, but in my opinion, one of the best! It smells delicious, like sweeties! yummy! And leaves popping candy whizzing and fizzing around your bath!

The glitter makes your bath nice and glittery, amongst the purple-ness and leaves you and your bathroom smelling great!!

I seriously don't have a bad word to say! I can't even grumble at the price £2.25 for LUSH? sounds like a bargain to me!

Hoped you enjoyed today's short 'n' snappy post!

My Top 5 Makeup Brushes!

Hello my little lovelies!!! Today i thought i'd show you my favorite 5 makeup brushes. Now i know this post is a little crammed with Real Techniques Brushes, but hey, these are the brushes i like! I've not tried hundreds of makeup brushes, but I've tried a fair few, and these are the ones that turned out tops! This might change overtime, as i try more and more brushes (i.e. Mac, but my budget doesn't stretch that far yet)

Real Techniques Powder Brush:- £12.99 

I love the softness of this brush, and its perfect for applying powder, (I use it with my Stay Matte powder that everyone raves about, but personally i think the natural collection pressed powder is much better myself.) It applies a nice even layer of powder across my face, leaving a natural look.

Real Techniques Setting Brush:- £8.99 

I know that its not meant to be a contouring brush but that's what i use it for and it works perfectly. It fits under my cheek bones, and leaves a really nice contoured look. I tend to use this with a matte bronzer as im not keen of the shimmery ones. And its relatively cheap compared to most makeup brushes. This one is also very soft!

Seventeen Eye shadow Brush:- £2.00

Firstly can we all just appreciate the price? £2 for an excellent eye shadow brush! It picks up the product well and evenly dispenses it across your eyelid. I actually can use this for 'crease work' but this can be rather tricky and i wouldn't try this if your only a beginner! I definitely advise you try this brush though!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:- £9.99

This brush is really dense, and very soft yet again! That's one think i love about the Real Techniques collection, their all SO soft! I find that this brush is great to apply cream and powder blush. I especially love the finish that is given when i use this brush to apply cream blush. If you want a higher coverage foundation brush.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush:- £11.99

I use this brush to 'buff' in my foundation and concealer, and it works a treat! Its good if you want a low-medium coverage. It leaves your foundation looking really nice and glow-y. I  think this is probably my favorite brush of all time as its really that good!! I LOVE it!

Hope you enjoyed this post, my little pumpkin pies!

Current Hair Care Edit

Hey my little lovelies!! I wanted to give you a quick insight into my current hair care 'system' so to speak! And at the moment i believe it works perfectly with my hair type!!

TRESemme Thermal Recovery, Nourish & Renew Shampoo:- This is shampoo for dry hair heat damaged hair. I tend to use this once a week, as if i use it more often it can cause oil build up in my hair, as it's naturally oily. Available HERE

Babyliss Curl Secret C1000E :- This is seriously revolutionary... It zaps up your hair does 8, 10 or 12 seconds, and then out comes a perfect curl, Its surprisingly easy to use too!! Its not on the cheap side, and i was lucky enough to receive this for Christmas! Available HERE

Alberto Balsalm Green Apple Shampoo & Conditioner:- I LOVE Alberto Balsalm! For one, they all smell very nice, the green apple one is marketed towards my hair type so i though it was best  used this one, but i really like the scent well. Does everything a shampoo should! Available HERE

Enrapture Totem Curler:- The barrel part of this curler is split into three sections, each of which can be changed to different heat settings, which makes it really easy to change up your style regularly. I really like the fact that one heat styler can make so many different hairstyles. Available HERE

Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Oil Treatment:- I was lucky enough to receive this one for Christmas, and have tried it out around three times, and so far i'm loving it! It stops frizzies, helps split ends and makes hair silky soft. I don't use a hair mask every time i wash my hair, as i have naturally oily hair... once a week is enough for me! Available HERE

And finally we come to straighteners are straighteners, and these Toni & guy ones certainly get the job done! There quite good, and don't leave your hair damaged when used at the right heat.... Available HERE

Hoped you enjoyed today's post guys!!!

Simple Light Moisturizer Review

Hello My Little Beauties!! Okay, so as you all know I've been raving about this product for months, my obsession goes back years infact! And guess what? I thought it was time i wrote a review finally!!!

Firstly i want to talk about the consistency of this product, its light, but not creamy... its definitely more textured, but i can't quite put it into words. When first applied to the skin as part of my morning routine, it makes my face rather shiny. But after 10 or so minutes it soaks in well and leaves my face looking much more refreshed! I have combination to oily skin, more oily than combination, and i find this can be very hard to cater for when looking for a good light moisturizer. This one though works well for me!! 

There isn't any scent to this moisturizer, which i prefer, as i really don't like putting scented things on my face (apart from the odd lip balm...i can't resist a good lip balm!) as i think of it as rubbing food on my face (yes, weird, i know!) So in conclusion i prefer this as its unscented! 

Another great point about this 'wonderproduct' so to speak is the price. No matter how much i try to put it out of my mind, price always helps me decide whether or not to try a product. And obviously at £3.99 i though this one was worth a go! Let's just say, i was impressed!!! 

In conclusion i do think that this is a great product overall. Price, Product and Packaging are all fantastic! So if you have oily to combination skin then i'd definitely try this one out, as in my opinion its well worth a go!

Hoped you enjoyed today's post guys!

Favourite Perfumes!

Hey my little lovelies!!! Today's post is going to be my 'Favorite Perfume' post. So then, hope you enjoy and i just want to clarify, that in no way shape or form am i a perfume expert, and i'm also no good at describing smells this is purely to show you my favorites! haha

Next Adore Perfume:-

As you may have previously noticed, this was mentioned in my recent '2013 Favorites' , as it was my most worn perfume last year. Its sweet and strong, and is better after it settles. And best of all? The Price at only £10 for 100ml.. BARGAIN Available HERE

Boots Natural Collection Vanilla Body Splash:-

So technically, this isn't a 'perfume', but the scent is strong enough to pass as one. Obviously it smells like vanilla, sweet and rather heavy. It lasts for a long time and is definitely a more winter-y scent in my opinion. Again, its rather cheap £2!! Available HERE

One Direction Moments Perfume:- 

Now, i absolutely love this perfume! Its not cheap or tacky smelling, its sweet and fragrant.  Its not what you expect, it exceeds my expectation! Its not cheap, like the other two, but it's not that expensive for a perfume, of such high quality. For a 50ml bottle like mine its £28.50 and the scent lasts all day! Available HERE

Beyonce Heat Rush:-

Now, i don't exactly know how to describe this one as its sweet, but lighter than the others. This is probably my favorite out of the four as its delicious! I would also say this has more of a fruity note that the others, its rather pricey for 100ml at £38.00, But its currently on offer for £19.00 BARGAIN. Available HERE

Hoped you like today's post guys!!!

Bath time Beauties...

I don't tend to be much of a bath kinda gal in summer i tend to go for showers, but in winter, i can't get enough baths... When i have a shower, i don't feel as pamper somehow, and i have no clue why, i also tend to use more 'luxurious' products too. And i thought i'd give you a quick insight into what i use in a 'pamper' bath

Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil:-  I don't always use this specific one, but i always use a hair mask. I was lucky enough to receive this one for Christmas, and have tried it out around three times, and so far i'm loving it, i'm thinking about doing a review soon so look out for that! But in general, using a hair mask, stops frizzies, helps split ends and makes hair silky soft. I don't use a hair mask every time i wash my hair, as i have naturally oily hair... once a week is enough for me! 

Soap & Glory Smoothie star Breakfast Scrub:- I LOVE this stuff! It smells like fudge / maple syrup! Yum... Its really good for exfoliating elbows and knees, and is also good for before shaving your legs and fake tanning! Its a very thick consistency,   and a rather harsh scrub, probably not very good for sensitive/ irritable skin (Scrub Of Your Life from soap and glory is a much gentler scrub) It gets rid of dry skin like a dream! I will definitely be repurchasing this, even though its rather pricey for a body scrub. 

Soap & Glory Clean On Me: - This body wash is in soap and glory's signature scent (like hand food and the righteous butter) Its a perfect body wash, and ensures a nice smelling bath time. I saw on one of MissBudgetBeautys videos, that this wash was really good to use when shaving legs, so i thought i'd give it a try, a by-gum its a winner. It leaves my legs feeling silky smooth! Its very creamy and moisturizing perfect for those winter blues!

Space Girl Bath Bomb: If you saw my post on what Abbie got me for Christmas you would have seen that this is my favorite bath bomb from lush. It smells like sweets and whizzes around your bath tub, what more you want? I'm not going to go into too much detail, as i practically did a full review on that post so check it out. But if your not a big fan of lush, you can just replace it with your personal preference.

Finally we come to Soap & Glory's Righteous Butter: - As i said above, its Soap & Glory's signature scent, thick and creamy. I tend to avoid moisturizing my legs (don't tell the beauty bloggers) as i find it such a chore. But since i tried this i can't get enough, i moisturize after every bath/ shower, and i can definitely tell a difference. My skins looking (and feeling) softer and much more moisturized! And the best of it all? It doesn't feel like a chore anymore, i actually enjoy moisturizing!!! 

Hope you enjoyed today's post my little lovilies!!!

Think Pink Lush Bath Bomb!

         Hello my little lovelies!! I'm going to be reviewing the Think Pink Lush Bath bomb, and its a cutie!

Okay, so as you can see from the picture above, think pink looks as good as it sounds, in comparison to many other Lush bath bombs, its on the smaller side, but there still enough product for your buck!! The three little flowers on top add a feminine touch, but do tend to pop out, to me this isn't a problem but for others it might be so... The smell is described as 'vanilla and Tonka' and to be quite honest i have no clue what 'Tonka' is but it smells delightful,  i'm not the best at describing but, i would say this is a subtle sweet/floral scent that isn't overpowering at all. I used this earlier this morning, and its left its scent all over my skin, yummy! My skin also feels surprisingly soft, which makes me feel like this is definitely worth the money.

When dropped (or popped, which ever you prefer) into your bath, Think Pink fizzes, and turns your bath a wonderful pink colour. Depending on what colour flowers, are on top, swirls of colour also swizz around! When the remainders of the bath bomb disappear into the water, small heart shapes of different coloured  pink confetti are left floating around, eventually these dissolve too, but they do prolong the experience! Sadly, this wouldn't photograph too well, sorry!

So in conclusion, Think Pink is great value, at only £2.50 for all of the above (moisturizing, smell, relaxing). I wouldn't use one every bath time, but i would consider using one often enough to keep me feeling chilled!

What did Abbie get me for Christmas?

Okay, so i know its been a while since i last posted, but hey ho its been Christmas, and my schedule has been jam packed! To get back into the swing of things i thought i'd show you the beauty bits Abbie bought me, and let's just say i was well chuffed!

Okay, so the first thing i opened was this little beauty! The soap and glory breakfast scrub! And my-oh-my it smells good! To me it smells just like fudgey-maple syrup flavor! M-mm. It's very thick, and GREAT for exfoliating all over, although i think it would be rather harsh to tr and exfoliate your face with, so bear that in mind! :) Soap & Glory range available HERE

As you can see from the above photo, Abbie bought me some good old lush. And im a HUGE lushie!!! I'm a big fan of the Christmas range at lush, even the wrapping, is extra cute this year!  

A gift from the angels? haha see what i did there? This soaps sadly only available around the Christmas period, but well worth the year round wait! I'm rubbish at describing scents so i'm gonna use the lush booklet to help me. This is a 'super fruity' scent, which is also rather sweet and delightful! Yum! Sadly, this soaps no longer available, but hopefully it will be back next year! 

Abbie obviously knows me VERY well, as space girl, is one of my fav lush bath products, from the normal range, and thankfully its available all year round. Its fabulous for fizzing and whizzing around your tub, and even contains some popping candy for good measure! This to me just smells like sweets! yay, i'm a big fan of sweets so thats' a winner! And for the price of £2.25, its one of lush's cheapest product, perfect for chillaxing! Available HERE

Finally, i got this little wonder, and i'm sorry i know the photo is rather crappy and doesn't really do the product justice! Again, this is from the Christmas collection, so its no longer available sorry. However its the cutest most glittery thing i have ever seen... And it smells really refreshing and citrus-y! Star Light Star Bright is a perfect post Christmas pick me up, so if its  in again next year be sure to check it out!!!

I also received, lots more smellies of friends and family, including a HUGE soap and glory set, and a Lush Christmas Bathtime favorites box set!!!
