My January Favourites


So its the end of the first month of the new year. I personally think it has gone very quickly, and soon to be February.

Alot has gone on for me this past month, but anyway here are my favourites.


Lets jump right in...

Johnsons Face Care Combination Wipes 25' love these, never use anything else, i have every single one they do too. Always good for when your too tired or being lazy...

Ardell Natural Demi Wispies Black Lashes since finding these before Christmas, these have become my favourites. Easy to apply, decent price and great quality.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant and Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment i received these both plus a few others from the set for Christmas, and they are simply amazing. 

Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo so i think i must purchase these a couple of times a month, ideal for in between washes, or to refresh your hair. My hair is so fine, and this is a must for me.

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Shower Gel  i wasn't entirely sure about this as i always thought that Argan Oil was used for your hair... but sure enough smells pretty good, decent sized bottle too. I may purchase again. 

Toni & Guy Glamour Serum Drops i use this wet or dry, so either when my hair is damp before drying or once its almost dry. Smells pretty good too. 

Madara Cosmetics Time Miracle Cellular Repair Serum so as i am getting ever closer to the big 30, i have been taking the time and making sure my skin care routine is better and that my skin in well hydrated. So i use this in the morning before i use a moisturizer twice a day. 

L'Oreal Infallible Fixing Mist i have been using the NYX version throughout December, but saw this and had heard good things about it. Its a taller bottle, and you have to make sure you shake well before use. Definitely be getting another bottle once this is empty. Holds my make up in place all day. Fab

Soap and Glory Face Soap and Clarity 3- in- 1 Daily Detox Vitamin C Facial Wash i have gone through 2 complete bottles of this. This sampler was recently sent to me, so it means i need to get another! Smells good, this has teeny tiny pink micro beads which gently exfoliate your skin, i use this every morning and night, my skin has improved alot since using this. 

Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter so like alot of other items from this brand, i seem to go through way too many products, which if i am honest is easily done. This plus the Sugar Crush is divine. Good job!

So anyway have a good evening, and have a great week

New Skincare Review!


Hey guys, i thought i would do a review today on Soap & Glory's skincare must haves!

I was originally looking for a decent night cream, and possibly a facial oil initially, due to the fact i am reaching the age where i seriously need to get into a proper nighttime routine possibly leading to anti- ageing territory! Ahh!

I was previously doing my usual skincare routine, which was doing its thing, but i never really used a decent quality night cream, which my face was craving.

So i bought these...



Its the Wish Upon A Jar Peptide Rejuvenating Night Cream and Make Yourself Youthful Super Serum.

I didn't realise when i purchased these, that the came looking like this! Pretty expensive packaging if you ask me, and for the price its a bargain!!

So lets do the pros first....

  1. Love the packaging- both super futuristic, love the chrome look on all their skincare lately 
  2. Smells really nice too, almost a toffee like scent- not strong, on the serum, the night cream is almost citrus- like, so very nice all in all 
  3. Good for the price- both were under the £20 price range bracket- i think these are still on a promotion (will leave link below)
  4. I like that its quite a thick cream, not too heavy either, which can happen with night creams in my opinion. Also the serum is easy to use, its a pump too, so you only need a couple of pumps which i reckon will last a while too.
  5. Left my skin looking brighter after a few days, especially when i first woke up (and trust me, i am not a pretty sight first thing in the morning)! 
Then the negatives...

The only thing i found was the  night cream, is a bit mean for sizing... its 45ml, which sounds alot, but its small, could be a bigger jar... The serum on the other hand is pretty decent, would last a while.

So really, not a bad deal, i probably would re buy in the future once these have run out, i am pretty obsessed with Soap & Glory, have been an avid fan for many long years.



Hope this helps!

Until next time....

30 Days of Beauty...



So there is a 'thing' currently spreading across Instagram. Its called, #30DaysofBeauty. Its been coming up on my feed for while now, and i thought, why not see if i can join that band wagon myself?

So, over the next 30 days, i too will be posting and reviewing what i believe are my personal favourites over the topics which include favourite foundations, skincare creams, least favourite products, and top beauty looks etc...

Too start off then, here is my #30DaysofBeauty 'hashtag'. 

Day 1: Favourite Brands.


I have had to narrow it down, as i have alot of favourite brands. 

So here is what i chose for mine.

Urban Decay
MAC
Collection (formally Collection2000)
Loreal
Soap & Glory

 I wont elaborate on the items themselves, no doubt i will waffle on later on in the month...

What are your favourites? 

Bye for now xx

March Boots Haul and review (all in one)


Hey people, hope you have had a good weekend, mine has certainly been jam packed which i love!

Thought i would catch up and let you know what i recently purchased, well i say purchased ( i was sent vouchers and had amassed nearly £20 of points at Boots. Yesss!

So spent it on this lovely lot :)





What i got....

Soap & Glory....

  • Sugar Crush Body Buttercream £10.50
  • Sugar Crush Body Wash £6.50
  • Hand Dream Super Intensive Hand Cream £7.00
L' Oreal...
  • Lumi Magique Concealer in Light  £8.49
  • Infallible Matte Foundation in Vanilla £6.99
  • Color Riche Nails in Sequin Explosion 842

Collection...
  • Lock n Hold Lipgloss in Rock Steady £2.99
Batiste...
  • Dry Shampoo Original in Clean & Classic £2.99
Clean & Clear...
  • Advantage Spot Treatment Gel £4.59

And the immediately the first thing i will say about this is that this new foundation i purchased, is quite simply incredible. Unlike nothing i have ever used. I made a brief review on my Instagram about this and the concealer, but seriously wow. I have combination to oily skin, and have always used time and time again the Mac Pro Longwear Foundation, and even though i have always gone to it, and re purchased it time and time again, it never 'lasted' the 15 hours it claimed. Nothing against Mac, as its probably my skin, and yes i do powder. But anyway... This L' Oreal Infallible Matte is now thee best ever, and its so cheap!! 




As this is more like a liquid to powder foundation, yes its in tube, but honestly it sets very quickly, it actually lasts all day, and that's a big deal. I am used to re applying makeup twice a day, especially if i am off to work in the evenings, and with this i do not need too. Fab. Its great coverage too, i would say medium to full coverage, and the colour shades are pretty decent too. 

Also i have had time to use and mess about with the Lumi Concealer, but am not loving it. For starters i have an issue with price. It is expensive for a concealer, and i would rather pay for Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat £25.99 or Mac Select Cover Up £15.50 over this- i would even rather use the Boots own Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light £4.19 if it was about the price itself. It is fine for highlighting, and that's about it. Also you get very little product, which i do not think would last long at all. Looks like it can cut the mustard, but sadly for me no. Sorry L' Oreal...

Another happy purchase was the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Cream and Body Wash. The scent on these is gorgeous. Limey, sweet, and almost creamy. I already have the Scrub somewhere in my massive collection of smellies. What i rate highly on all their products, is that you get generous sized products, which lasts a long time, and i use mine at least daily!! 




I chose their new hand cream too, not much to say, its a hand cream. But has the same Sugar Crush scent which is winner. One other thing i love always about Soap & Glory is just their packaging. Stands out, bold, pretty all at the same time. Well done.

These along with the make up always seem to be on a 3 for 2 promotion at Boots and at Boots.com, so i totally recommend you take up the opportunity to stock up or at least try and test out these for yourself. 


Of the other items, i chose was the L' Oreal Color Riche Nails in Sequin Explosion, has to be along with Nails Inc glitters etc.. one of the best multi- colour glitters out there. Stunning. You could wear it purely on its own which would look nice, but i think it would be too much.... i tend to add as an accent on the pinky nail alone or over a neutral polish like my current favourite shade- Essie Ballet Slippers, and do not forget your top coat. Please check out Seche Vite, it will become your go to choice. I will leave a link below on all products mentioned.






Last but not lease of course, my recurrent buys, which i don't need to explain much about are the Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment and Batiste Dry Shampoo. Great products, do what they say, and are reasonably priced. Work every time too. 


Have a good Sunday evening, ta x
