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!!!

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!

MUA - Intense Kisses

                                                       Kiss & Tell

Okay, so i thought i'd write a quick post about this 'high intensity gloss' for MUA. And wow its well worth its money!  Who can go wrong for £2?              Available here


I don't exactly know how to describe this 'gloss'. Its a cross between a lipstick, lip stain and a lip gloss. Its very long lasting, just like a stain, very high shine, like a lip gloss, and non sticky, just like a lipstick.I know that this lip.... product, has been compared to the Rimmel Apocalips, which a slightly more pricey opition. You can get a brilliant range of colours, some shimmery, some matte, and the best thing theres practically a shade for every skin tone! Bonus! And, sorry for the photography, um well i wanted to get this post up, and there was a storm at the time i was taking the photo, hence the awful background! It can last for a good 2-3 hours, but if your eating take into consideration that this time might be shortened. I've tried this out many times now, and i definitely think is does the job and more for the price. The colours a beautiful, cross between cherry and a dark pink. So if your trying to find a luscious lipstick, then i'd check this out!
