3 Bath Time Favorites!

I LOVE to take regular baths, and i thought i'd share with you my 'Bath Time Favs'

 I have to exfoliate my skin at least twice a week, as it gets really dry and flaky, especially in summer... and like everyone else i don't want scales! I've really been loving this 'The Scrub Of Your Life' by soap and glory, with little micro beads, as it smells delicious, and gets rid of all the dry skin!

I love using bath bombs, as they really hep me to relax when I've had a stressful day! Good ol' Lush is usually the brand of my choice, as they're just so luxurious! My all time favorite one is 'Space Girl' It adds a little bit of sparkle, and no girl can live without sparkle in her life! The scent is amazing, and reminds me of traditional sweets! And best of all? It turns the water purple!

Finally, whilst relaxing i love to use a face mask. My favorite are the peel off ones, but sometimes i like to use thick fruity ones when i'm having a 'pamper night' (a regular occurrence). I like other brands too, such as the Planet Spa ones, which are great for clearing out my pores!

Updated Skincare 'System'

*not a review, a regime*

Hello my lovelies! I'm sorry its been a while, i'm planning on having an 'admin' post up next, explaining the situation, so bare with. 

I thought i'd come back with a 'bang' so to speak, and i'm going to share with you my 'Skincare System'. A few months ago, i had a really bad outbreak of spots, which i think is down to stress and eating unhealthily, but i thought it was time to raise the skin care game, and blast them spots!

I'm really happy with the outcome of the 'switch up' as I've discovered some truly great products that are definitely worth purchasing!

Face wash: So the face wash I've been using recently is this Moisturizing Facial Wash by Simple. If you've been reading from me for a while you'll know i'm a big fan of the Simple products. And this ones no different, i lather it up with water smother it all allover my face, and Bobs my uncle. *Cleany Clean Clean Face*

Moisturizing Prep: So before i purchase the Benefit skincare mini's i'd never really heard of moisturizing prep, but i'm so glad i've discovered it! I apply it before my moisturizer, and it just seems to help my moisturizer moisturize? I love it and i would consider buying it full size!

Day cream: I picked this up from The Original Factory Shop for just £1 and jumped at the chance to try it. It gets the job done. It contains pomegranate oils, which help to moisturize! The thing i loveabout this cuticuraone is the fact that it doesn't make me look really oily, which trust me, is a very difficult ask with my skin.

Eye cream: Currently, i'm using the It's Potent eye cream by Benefit! I mainly use this in a morning to awaken my eye area, an add extra moisture (i don't think i could possible incorporate that word anymore. Haha) I'm not a huge fan of the really thick eye creams, so this ones a winner because it's nice and light!

Lip Balm: Now, as you all probably know, BABY LIPS came to the UK a while ago, and i was desperate to try them, as there was so much hype around them in America! I first bought, the cherry one and loved it so went back to pick up just a plain nourishing one! I came back with this minty one and its changed my life for the better! I Love it!

Spot Gel: So to wrap things up we come to the 'Spot zapping gel' In terms of 'spot zapping' this one is a gem! Both me and one of my closest friends use this to fight those foes! And whats better? Its under £1... what a bargain! 

Hope you've enjoyed the post!

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! 

Available HERE

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!!!

My Beauty Wishlist

Hello my little beauties!!! So this post is going to be my 'beauty wishlist', as its getting super near to Christmas i thought i'd write a quick list, of 5 beauty items that i like the look of! Okay, so lets get this party started!

1. The Real Techniques core collection brush set.

2. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

3. Rimmel Apocolyps

4. Red and gold glitter nail polish

5. Maybelline Baby lips

I know this was only a short post, but none the less, its the bipits and bopits i want.. 

          Leanne :)xx

Clinique Primer Sample

So I signed up for this free sample from clinique because of the 'universal' statement. In this case I believe that, it should be a multi purpose primer, that I can test out! I'm always up for testing new things out, as I think its the only way you can find your 'holy grail' products!

I know the photograph is a bit blurry, but it will get the job done! I really really like this primer and it makes your makeup last literally all day. However i'm not saying that this product's amazing, it could well be, but i've only tried it once, so just bear that in mind! I wore quite a dark smokey eyeshadow, when i used my sample, and it sayed intack from the moment i put it on to the second i took it off! There wasn't any drop down, which to me is one of the key points to a primer! All primers tend to make my face rather shiny, but this one really doesn't! I think it is rather pricey, but if you've got the budget for it well worth it. Its £20.00 for a full sized bottle and is available HERE

I can't really do a full in depth review, because i haven't tried it out thoroughly enough however, i do think that i would really like it, and this makes me want it even more... I'm certainly considering it!  

Hope you liked today's post guys!

Everyday makeup collection

Okay, so this is a little bit of something different! I thought i'd show you  my everyday makeup pieces. Now, this isn't where my makeup is usually stored, but i thought that this looked a little bit more 'scenic' than the plastic drawers that i usually keep my makeup in!

From the picture above you can see the main 'swing' of things! Obviously when all is away as it normally would be the lipsticks are neatly in the drawer, and the drawer is pushed inside the jewelry box, which i bought at a boot sale for 50p! Bargain... it was in immaculate condition too!

Okay, in the large pull out drawer, I have all my other bits and bobs, eye shadow etc.

• MUA Undress me two palette (review coming soon!)
• 2 MUA cream blushers :- Dolly and Yummy
• A light pink blush that I need to give to Abbie
• A collection black gel eyeliner
• Kate Moss by Rimmel lipstick :-02
• Avon push up lipstick :- Nude Peach

On the plate which i staged my 'Winter Essentials' on earlier in the month i keep my basic even no makeup day products! As well as a MUA nail polish thrown in for good measure! So on the plate i have:

• Next adore perfume which is running dangerously low
• Maybelline Baby Lips :- Cherry Me
• The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip balm :- Guava
• Simple light hydrating moisturizer
• MUA nail polish :- Koala Bear

The plate is also from a boot sale, and for 25p i couldn't leave it!

So in the lift up top section, i keep all my face base everyday makeup in here:

• Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation:- 200
• Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse :- Sand
• Rimmel Hide The Blemish Concealer:- Sand
• Miss Sporty Concealer:- Medium
• 2 MUA Cover and Concealer Concealers, in different shades:- Light and fair
• Natural Collection Green Concealer
• The remains of the Natural Collection Pressed Powder:- Warm

Hope you enjoyed this little insight into my everyday makeup collection!

I Heart Drugstore Makeup Tag

Before anyone starts, I know 'tag' videos are usually only done on YouTube... But I thought i'd bend the rules! Let's go!!!! :)

1. What is your favourite drugstore makeup brand?


I really like Rimmel and  Maybelline, I can't really choose between! I have a variety of both brands and there's hardly any I dislike! I also really like MUA and Sleek!

2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?


    I like the MUA cream blushers, natural collection pressed powder and the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation.  I LOVE the Kate Moss lipsticks from Rimmel and the collection lipsticks.

3. Least favourite product?


    Personally, I don't like the MUA pressed powder, I have really oily skin so the product isn't for my skin type. That's not to say, I won't work for you, everybody's skin types are different!!

4. What is the best makeup bargain?


    I think that the MUA pro palette's are amazingly pigmented for the price (£4). The Sleek palettes are really good too!

    

5. What is your favourite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)


    I don't really know if it counts as an 'underdog' product. But the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I think it gets overlooked as in most drugstores, it stands next to the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (the infamous foundation, that EVERY 'beauty guru' On YouTube raves about).

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?

    Definitely Mascara... Its extortionate!  L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara is £10.99, going on for high end prices!  

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)

    I haven't personally got my very own 'drugstore dupe' that I've found myself, I do know of one. The MUA Undress me and Undress Me Too palettes are supposedly really good dupes for the Naked 1 & 2 palette!     

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

    The Nivea lip butters. They taste nice and there not dreadful. They just don't work for me. I think this product would be much more effective for people with dryer lips than mine! :)

                                                  Leanne :) xx

Top three festive polishes

Hello my little beauties! Christmas is getting ever closer, and its nearly time to paint our fingers ready for the Christmas day celebrations, i like to do my festive nails around the 21st of December, and then touch them up on Christmas eve! 

Okay, so this posts about my 3 Favorite festive nail polishes! Firstly, i want to apologize for the blury-ness of the photo, this was the only way i could get them all in shot sorry! On with the post!

3. No7 Stay Perfect Nail Polish:- Millan

Despite how this looks in the bottle, one coat and your set, its perfect for the one coat lovers, The brush is extra wide and you can nearly fill your whole nail with one swipe. Its a soft pink colour, with lot's of silver sparkle, perfect for the festive season. I love this, but sadly i won't be wearing this over Christmas as the other two have piped it to the post. Its rather pricey though! I have a feeling this has been discontinued as i can't find it on the Boots website, but i came across a glitter nail polish that looks absolutely beautiful, so i will link that here. I think i might have to make a sneaky Pre-Christmas purchase!

2. Unbranded Red Nail Polish with flecks of Gold glitter

I'm sorry that this is completely unbranded and i can't find anything like it on the internet. But i couldn't leave this out of the post! Basically, its a light cherry red nail polish, and gold glitter mixed together and i love it. I don't exactly know how gained this, so that doesn't help either! But i did come across something pretty cool from Amazon that i thought i'd link as a replacement (2 out of 3 replacements! How rubbish am i? Eurgh). Its two nail art pens, one gold and one red, with glitter and the works, i don't know how good they are but i'm thinking about buying them, so if i do i'll probably write a post. Anyway, they're available here.

1. Barry M Glitter Nail polish:- Amethyst Glitter

Okay, so this one, i don't have to find a replacement for! You can buy the actual thing! And let me tell you its worth £2.99. As you can see from the picture above, that the glitter is mostly pink, teal and gold glitter, it shimmers like a disco ball! J One coats plenty for a quick coat, however  I prefer 2-3 coats to make it look nice and filled! I'm going to try doing ombre nails with this over the top of a black polish, and if it works this is going to be what i'm wearing on christmas day! All very exciting i know! Barry M are a great budget brand for nail polish and  make up! Available Here.

So i hoped you liked this post, on all things polished! Tell us in the comments your top three polishes! We'd love to know!
