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!

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!

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!!!

This or That Beauty Tag

Okay, so this is a post that we are both contributing to! Yay! Abbie's answers are in purple And Leanne's answers are in light blue.

Makeup

  Blush or Bronzer:   Definitely I'm naturally quite tanned anyway so i tend to use bronzers as definition Blush, i   hardly ever use bronzer as i find it looks a bit strange as i am so pale.         
  Lip gloss or Lipstick: Lipstick easy! Lipstick, lip gloss is too sticky, my hair always ends up sticking to it :L
  Eye liner or Mascara: I'm going with eyeliner, as i think you can create a better definition! Eyeliner, i agree, it     makes more of an impact!
  Foundation or Concealer: A high coverage Foundation? Can i say that? It will double up as concealer too! I       think foundation, because i sometimes use mine as concealer also.
  Neutral or Color eye shadow: Neutral, you can wear it on an everyday basis! Neutral
  Pressed or Loose eye shadows: Pressed! It doesn't get all messy! Pressed, yup i end up making a big mess   if its loose!
  Brushes or Sponges: Brushes, i especially love the Real Techniques ones! Brushes, i never use a sponge

Nails

  Long or short: Long but neat I actually think they look better when they're quite short

  Acrylic or natural: I think acrylic looks nice for fancy occasions, but natural for everyday. Natural
  Brights or darks : Dark for winter, lights for summer! Bright colours, like pastel blue and purple. I think they         look really pretty!

Body

  perfume or body splash: Perfume for winter, fruity body splashes for summer! I prefer perfume, because its       usually a lot stronger and stays with you all day
  lotion or body butter : Body Lotion It depends, you can get so many nice scents in body butters, but i prefer     to use lotions because they seem to be easier to apply
  body wash or soap : Body wash, soap can clog up your pores! Definitely body wash, i never use soap ever! 

Fashion

  jeans or sweat pants: Jeans! Jeans for going out somewhere but sweatpants for lounging because they're         super comfy!
  long sleeve of short: Short Short
  dresses or skirts: Dresses, there more roomy! Dresses
  scarves or hats: Hats they cover bad hair days! Scarves, i don't think hats suit me
  studs or dangly earrings: Studs! Studs, dangly earrings get in the way and can get uncomfortable
  necklaces or bracelets: Statement Necklaces Necklaces, i agree
  heels or flats : Flats Flats just because they're comfier, although heels can look nice too
  jacket or hoodie: Hoodies! Hoodie

Hair

  curly or straight: Textured! Leanne that isn't one of the answers! I prefer straight on me, but curly hair can look   really nice on others
  bun or ponytail: Bun Long ponytails look nice
  bobby pins or butterfly clips:Bobby Pins, or 'hair grips' in the UK Bobby pins
  hair spray or gel : Hair spray Hair spray, i've never used gel
  long or short :Long Long, but short hair can look pretty
  light or dark :Light and dark, it depends! Personally i like dark hair, but both can look nice
  up or down : Down! Easy peasy! Down

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..

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!

Spotless skincare

Hey my little beauties! This posts talking spots, skincare and scrubbing haha!...

Everyday!...

Okay so i use this Clearasil daily clear superfruits oil and shine wash every single day, to keep the oil at bay! I just like Abbie have Oily to combination skin, which can get rather irritable, when looking for foundations and such. However this daily wash, clears pores, and unclogs oil (sound's disgusting i know) and leaves your face shine free, exactly what is says on the tin! I love the smell of this too, its very citrus-y which is right up my street! I use one pump in the palm of my hand, and then use lots of water, so is goes all around my face. It works a treat and in my opinion, abolishes spots! Its not too expensive it retails at £4.99, but the packaging has changed now, which is surprising as i only bought this a couple of months ago and its available HERE

Twice a Week!...

I use this blackhead fighting facial scrub, twice a week. This scrub by T-Zone exfoliating scrub, with micro beads, really does fight the blackheads! Its quite a harsh scrub, and people could have slight problems if you have sensitive skin. I think if i used it more than twice a week, i think it would damage my skin. I really like it though, it takes away spots, dead skin and black heads. I actually bought this in pound land, for a pound! Which to be honest is a right bargain! I'm sure you could end up paying more for it though. I also think that is available at home bargains too for around the same price, so i'd check there as well. 

This doesn't include toner and moisturizer as you can see. This is the basics of spotless skin! So tell us in the comments your skin care routine, we'd love to know!
