An update.

Hello my lovelies! As i mentioned in my most recent post im going to be doing an update post!

Where have you been?
- Recently, I've been very busy doing lot's of school work. At the end of last year, i took two early entry exams, which in all honestly was very, very stressful, hence the lack of posts. And now as of September, i'm studying for all the rest of them, so I've been spending a lot of time getting back into the swing of things! I'm currently posting as often as i can, so please bare with! :)

What do you plan to post in the future?
- Well, basically the same as always! Reviews, wishlists, lifestyle posts mainly obviously, but i have a few things i'm planning to do, which are a little bit different

I know it's only been a short one, but i thought i needed to explain, where i'd been, and what I'm planning to post in the future

Crabtree and Evelyn Rosewater Hand Therapy

*Old packaging is photographed*

Hello my lovelies, after another long break, i'm back to blogging again. I thought i'd kick off with a hand cream review, because honestly, with winter just around the corner, hand creams are one of my staple products! 

Firstly i want to discuss the packaging of this Crabtree and Evelyn hand cream. It's absolutely beautiful! I know this is the old packaging, but the new one is equally as nice. I think the main hing i like about the packaging is the vintage feel, tied with pastel colours and flowers. It's just so Leanne! The packaging itself is made of a metal (unsure which) which makes the product feel all the more worthy of my pennies!

Usually, i tend to avoid rose scent because i find them extremely over powering and much too floral for my liking, but after i smelt this, i was converted! Someone actually bought me this for my Birthday (and i wouldn't have smelt it otherwise) but i'm in love! It's just a really light adaptation of rose, and i think that's why i really like it! 

As for the texture, it's very thick and creamy, but it's soaks in fairly well so take into account the consistency! It leaves my hands feeling really nourished and soft and helps them to avoid the winter cracked skin, which usually begins to set in in October time!

Overall Product Rating:

Price: 6/10  Product: 8/10  Packaging: 10/10

Hope you enjoyed today's post, and be on the look out for Update/Get to know me better a post coming later in the week!

Skincare Update

Hello my lovelies, so today i thought that i'd share with you my favorite skincare products this week! 

LUSH Tea Tree Toner Water: I bought this very recently from LUSH, and haven't had it long enough to review yet, but i can definitely see a difference in my skin! It's fairly cheap too, which is always great!

 Nivea Express Hydration Primer: If you saw my recent review on this (CLICK HERE) you'll be able o see that i really love this stuff! 

BeneFit It's Potent Eye cream: I got this luxury sample size eye cream, in a benefit skincare set, and it really seems to hydrate my eyes, which I'm always a fan of aha!

Summer This or That

1. Beaches or Pools? Definitely pools. Even though your left with the smell of chlorine on your skin, nothings worse than pesky sand, that has been ruining bikini's since time began!

2. Perfume or Body splash? In summer i tend to gravitate towards body splashes, as they seem to smell more summer-esk and tend to be much lighter!

3. Nail Varnish Or Natural? Personally, in summer i think that bright coloured nail varnish looks really stylish! 

4. What lip color will you be rocking most this summer? I have on by Natural collection, in the shade 'Raspberry' which i absolutely love! 

5. Sundresses or Shorts? Sundresses. SUNDRESSES, hands down! They're super duper comfy, and if you get the right fitting ones, can be really flattering!

6. Sunbathing or Self Tanners? Self tanning, sunbathing takes too much time, patience and can even cause skin cancer. I much prefer getting a glow from a bottle!

7. What is your favorite drink in the summer? Peach ice tea mmm.

8. Hot dogs or burgers? Hot dogs with plenty of mustard!

9. What song instantly reminds you of summer? Roar by Katie Perry, a bit of an unusual one!

10. Ice cream, Popsicles, or Frozen Yogurt? Frozen yogurt is definitely the best

11. You just won an all paid vacation to go anywhere and do anything you’d like, what would you choose? I'd go to somewhere really ho with lots of waterfalls that i could jump into, i just think it would be a really great experience!

12. What is the weather like during the summer where you live? Well i live in England, so lot's of rain and not much sun, we don't really get a summer!

13. Do you have a certain beauty product that during the summer you will not leave your house with out? Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation!

14. Sunglasses or Hats? Sunglasses, although i should really wear hats, because my scalp burns so easily!
