Hey guys! So over the Christmas period (which seems so far away already) I was given this gorgeous 7 piece bare minerals collection set as a gift off my mum. I want to start by saying how much I love this set, purely because all the products are items I would use for an everyday makeup look. Plus they are all in a limited edition packaging / each product lid is unique compared to the usual bare minerals foundation lid etc... A perfect starter kit to an everyday look a girl could ask for selling at £57 + P&P on QVC here.
So whats included?


1. Original SPF Foundation 8g - RRP £26, Click here to view product online.
Now I already use this foundation and I purely love it! It gives a good coverage even with breakouts or blemishes, or even red skin... It never makes my skin get irritated, breakout more or even get more dry/oily. Plus you only need a small amount in the lid to complete your whole face look! (For reference, I got the colour fairly light N10 as I'm porcelain pale!)

 2. Chandelight Glow Illuminator 10g - Limited edition
I must admit, I have fallen for this product its more like a rouge gel type and comes in a large size compact with a mirror inside! It's pinky tone is easy to apply on the apples of your cheeks with brush or finger! And looks 100% natural and not too heavy or dark (which makes me love it the most!), plus with the product like a gel it can easily be applied on your eyelids for matching makeup finish which I just love even more! I can honestly say I would 100% invest in this product again. 

 3. Loose Blush 0.85g (Sweet Romance) - RRP £20, Click here to view product online.
With most blushes, this is a powdered one and is a very good average size tub! There isn't too much I can honestly say about this product as I much prefer using the illuminator but is easy to apply and another blush to add to my collection!

4. Loose Eye Colour (Nightfall) - Limited edition
Now when I first saw this product, I was slightly worried by the size I honestly did expect it to be a large tub with more product... The colour is very dark glitter toned but I can honestly say it shocked me! I used the smallest amount on my brush (without even using an eye primer), and it applied all over my lid with good coverage and colour! It's perfect for winter looks or even for nights out!

5. Lasting Line Long-Wearing Eyeliner 0.35g (Forever Brandy) - RRP £15, Click here to view product online.
This liner is so easy to use its crazy! The main factor I love about this is that you can draw a fine thin dramatic line.. Or use the angled smudge tip on the other side to blend out and get a smoother more lighter finish..

 6. Lash Domination Mascara 11m - RRP £18, Click here to view product online.
At first when I saw this product I was unsure what to expect... The tube itself was pretty thick and wide, when I saw the brush with a twisted and unusual looking tip (first I have ever seen with this style) I knew it would instantly not get thick and blotch up. When I applied I instantly didn't have to worry about my lashes sticking together, too thick for one area.. It applied easily, and evenly! With a very natural thin finish (I love using this when I'm just running out to a local store or somewhere with a light weight finish look).

 7. Marvelous Moxie Buttercream Lipgloss 4.5ml (Sassy Sobert) - RRP £16, Click here to view the product online.
If you guys didn't already know, I'm a huge lover for bare minerals lip glosses they just make me feel complete! The thing I love most about this one is it's smooth soft texture that instantly hydrates my lips making them feel tasty. The colour itself is more of a darker pink and just fits perfectly with pinky colours! A huge lover for this product and would 10000% rebuy this when I run out!

Overall I love this collection, all the colours go perfect together and its all the required elements a girl would need for a perfect everyday look. My most favorite would be either the foundation, Illuminator or lipgloss! Let me know if any of you use bare minerals products & what your thoughts are below?X

Hey guys! Just a quick post today about February's issue of Glamour Magazine, which this month I feel is more 'fall' themed than winter which will still are in. One thing a lot of people look for is freebies right?! Well this month there isn't all that many, in fact whats included is; Channel sample, Tresemme sample & a graze coupon (which are always included in the Glamour magazines in case you never knew!). Now personally, I love the samples included as you can usually use them for 2 days... But I always struggle when it comes to foundation or BB colors as I'm so porcelain pale skinned...


One thing I did love about this months magazine was it included a lot of jewelry and wearable products throughout... Which I loved to read and mark down which I would wear, or want! Plus there was a big feature page on sportswear which I thought was pretty clever as most people will still have a 'New Years Resolution' to keep fit! Plus the coloring flowed great with the 'Winter' season and just made it so eye catching.


Thank you for reading (sorry it was short guys I've been busy with assignments!) x

So with me currently living in student accommodation, I am forced to only use the shower! (We have no bath, gutted!) With that being said, I feel very lost to not using as much Lush products so decided to try out something new. I bought the Lush shower jelly in "Woosh", it's smell is so fresh and minty gets me all excited. The product advised to keep cool, of which I left in the fridge shelf and would take out when I was about to use this left it nice and cool and in "jelly" form. 



When I got into the shower I attempted to use this product by picking the plastic tub up and using my fingers to pull a piece of the jelly out. Of which I found VERY difficult to do as it kept sliding around. Then, I wasn't all that sure on how to use the product, I tried to rub the jelly onto wet skin in the shower but found it kept sliding off and into the bottom of the shower. I also tried to soak the jelly a bit and rub into the skin which worked a little (gave a soapy feel) but then would instantly fall off and into the bottom of the shower again. As a result I just gave up and used shower gel as I was sick of having to pick it up, try again and it was honestly taking twice as long.... I can only rate this product as "good" if you have younger children and you may want to use it for them to have "fun" in bath time & might work better in the bath where you don't have to worry as much of the product falling and picking up without falling over in the shower..

 Thank you for reading X

So I recently decided it was time to get a new bag, one smaller in size as I am so use to using larger bags. Why?Because I feel the need for change, plus using a smaller bag when shopping or just running to the shops seems more.... Realistic. 



I decided to choose this River Island bag which on the front has a grey fur appearance which is plain on the back, a longer strap which is detectable with a zip across the middle. Inside it doesn't have any separate closed pockets which I was a little disappointed with, but the sides out of the zip are also pocket space! Paying £35 it also has a detachable  'River Island' style icon tag. 



Overall, I love this purchase and am 100% satisfied. Let me know what bags you use? & What brands your favorite in the comments below! X

This is another one of many deals I grabbed on Boxing Day from Boots this trio gift set of Jack Wills body sprays was £10 but paid £5! (I actually bought two of these on the day) All three of these scents are fresh clean scented that's very refreshing, of which I personally love to use these after a warm bath!


I'm sorry this is only short will write up more soon, let me know any boxing day deals you got too!X

Another amazing deal I picked up from Boots on the Boxing Day sales was this Soap & Glory gift set RRP £10 but 50% with the Christmas sales & paid £5. This set includes a hand wash (which is sooo nice!) I placed it by the sink & it leaves your hands smelling fresh and clean yet slightly sugary & tasty. Then there is a hand cream which is softening and moisturizing in the palms. And finally the set includes a scent diffuse which smells so refreshing and isn't too strong.

A new year, a new box, new melts! I was super excited to get my hands on this months Flamingo Candles melt crowd subscription box because I had herd they was including a preview of the new B.A.R.E Essential Oils melts. So what was inside?


1. Coconut
This melt is very "coconut" scented, reminding me of fresh smooth milky smells with 

 2. Crystal Mountain Water
This melt was very outdoor fresh clean scented again, but somewhat reminds me of the kitchen smell after washing fresh fruits during the summer.

 3. Orange & Lemon Essential Oils
This melt was my FAVORITE from this months, and possibly an all round time one! The smell was so fresh but so strong it was crazy, smelling of a clean sugary sweet scent that reminded me of making homemade lemonade during the summer but had a fruity twist of fresh orange meshed within.

 4. Cinnamon & Mandarin Essential Oils
This scent is very strong again like the other Essential oil melt, but strong of Cinnamon (which I usually love). But it has a strong twist of other spices too reminding me a bit like orange spice. I have to admit I was a little put back from smelling this scent but it might smell different when I begin to burn!

 5. Strawberry Jam
I love this melt, it's packed full of fresh tasty fruity strawberries with a punch of soft red jam! Making me want to just eat it, I am so excited to start burning this melt.

 6. Pink Denim
This melt is packed full of fruity floral scents reminding me of roses, it's very feminine and reminds me of parfum scents like when you walk into the store.

 7. Baby Powder
This melt is super clean scented, exactly what it would smell like if you smelt baby powder. Again another melt I just love!
8. Whisky
This melt has somewhat of a sugary smell to it, I was expect the smell to be strong and distinctive but instead its more of a light tasty peaceful melt. 

Overall, I do love this months box and I'm super excited to see more from the B.A.R.E essential oils range because the scents are ten times strong! X

So as you guys may already know, I bought a few Lush products & gift sets one of them being The 12 Days Of Christmas box. This is packed of 12 different lush products including bath bombs, bubble bars, soaps & shower creams! RRP £49.95 but It was 50% OFF so was £24.98



First off the box itself is HUGE! And super cute packaged, when you open the first door it shows you a cute Christmas design cover where you then open that layer up to find 12 individual slots where the products are.


1. Snow Angel Bath Melt 100g
This melt is HUGE for 100g and can easily get two uses out of by halfing it for each bath. The underneath is SUPER glittery just by picking it up which may be a problem when using in the bath (I hope it doesn't stick to the skin when getting out) & will probably have to clean the bath out after using it!



2. Five Gold Rings Bubble Bar 100g
This product comes with five SUPER glittery bubble bar rings on it which I was told by store staff you crumble one off per bath which is super good as you can get five bath worth's out of this product! I did use one of this already and found it smelt great, it did turn the water glittery but it didn't stick to my skin BUT I did have to clean the bath out afterwards.

3. The Comforter Shower Cream 100g
The size of this bottle is PERFECT for trailing out before buying a larger size. And I LOVE this product, the smell is super strong and full reminding me off blackcurrant and even after using it, it leaves your skin smelling so nice for ages!


4. Avobath Bomb 180g 
This bath bomb is HUGE in size, and it fizzes up giving a super strong lemon fresh scent to the water & air. The scent was beyond strong and you could smell it from the hall way outside the bathroom! It left my skin nice and smooth after too.

5. Celebrate Body Lotion 45g
This pot is another good size before buying larger to trail, I've never really bought body lotions of Lush before as I always have a stock up from gifts off people. But I can say this lotion is packed of somewhat a vanilla scent and is really smooth on the skin (you only need a little and it gives a thick layer).


6. Butterbear Bath Bomb 75g
In case you guys don't know I have already written about this bath bomb on my blog before which you can read HERE.

7. Yog Nog Soap 120g
I love LOVE love this bar of soap it smells so tasty packed of spice scents there isn't much more I can say, apart from I would 100% purchase this again.


8. Golden Wonder Bath Bomb 200g
I know this bath bomb says 200g but I seriously cannot get over how large this bath bomb is! It is generally HUGE, it smells so good too but I'm yet to try this product so I'm excited to see its water changing colour.

9. Holly Golightly Bubble Bar 190g
For 190g this bubble bar is HUGE and I can easily see me getting two possibly even three uses out of this. It is VERY glittery when you pick it up with a silver glitter to it but smells very "christmasy".


10. Yuzu & Cocoa Shower Cream 100g
Another perfect bottle size to trail before buying the full size, this product smells very tasty and reminds me of coconut with chocolate orange.

11. Cinders Bath Bomb 100g
This bath bomb is SUPER cute looking, I must admit I haven't tried it yet but it smells delicious.

12. Dashing Santa Bath Bomb 100g 
Incase you guys didn't know I've already written about this bath bomb which you can read HERE.

 Overall, I am in love with this gift set because it gives you a mix of products to use and there isn't one I can say I dislike! Let me know in the comments below what you guys think?Do you have a favorite lush gift set?X

Another Christmas gift I received was the perfect, top rated Real Techniques Core Collection brushes set. I was beyond excited for this kit, first off because of how rated it is on the blogger society, but also because this set includes all the brushes you'd "need".


1. Detailer Brush 
I love this brush, the size is just perfect for getting into detail on eyeshadow looks but also works great when applying more product. The smaller size works great in the inner corner of the eyelid and hard to reach areas.

 2. Pointed Foundation Brush
At first, with this brush I was a little shocked by how thin the head of the brush is. I was expecting it to be a little thicker, although I do suppose it will help apply more of a natural thin layer of foundation and then you can build up. I must say, I wasn't overwhelmed with this brush and there isn't anything spectacular like the rest.

 3. Buffing Brush
This brush is suppose to be used when applying powder or mineral foundations (Which works great with the size), but I've also found it works well with ANY type of foundation including liquid!

 4. Contour Brush
This brush is the PERFECT size to apply blush to the cheeks and blend out any major contour streaks you feel need to be blended. The brush is so soft and works well with both powder and rouge type blushes.

 5. Panoramic Case
This case is PERFECT to stand brushes, it can stand up right and hold brushes either side/end. Fitting around eight brushes in total.

 Overall, I am in LOVE with this set and would buy it again if I needed to. All the brushes are soft, and handles are perfect size for holding. Thank you for reading X
