My March Favourites

March has been a super busy month for me, but it's not stopped me loving lots of different beauty/skincare products this month! 

Funnily enough most of my products here are pink, but that's fine as it's my favourite colour! So let me start with the first product!

My favourite body product has actually been this Heel Genius Foot Cream by Soap and glory, I basically hate feet especially my own so anything that makes them look and smell better (I know, Gross) is a wonder product for me and this has just made my heels so much softer, and foot pampering is definitely what I need as after all summer is just around the corner! This is a miniature of the original but it is very good value for money for the full size at £5.50 so I will definitely be purchasing the full size soon!

Then I actually have been adoring the Sugar Crush Body Spray also by Soap and glory, as you can see I am in love with the soap and glory range as it all just smells divine and the products are amazing. This just smells like the sugar crush body wash in liquid form and it is without a doubt the nicest body spray smell, and I have recently seen on instagram there is a perfume/fragrance version so I NEED that in my life!!

Then this lip gloss all I can say is it's the best drugstore one I've found. It's the Barry M lip gloss in Toffee, and unfortunately I can't find it anywhere online *cries* and I really hope it isn't discontinued as I have really struggled to find a nice lipgloss which is the perfect formula for me at an affordable price. It goes with all my lipsticks in this post too so even better, but not if it's gone forever!

For moisturiser I'm loving my Garnier Moisturise Match in 'Goodbye Dry', because it's the perfect in-between it's not too light or too thick but it really helps with the dry areas on my face and helps my makeup to sit a lot nicer and I don't find any makeup clings to my dry areas when I use this! -Bonus! 

Now I'm going to take you though my most loved/adored lipsticks for this month!

The first is the L'Oreal Eva's Nude Lipstick it's a beautiful peachy, pink which is just a perfect spring/summer colour which will really pop with a nice summery glow, it looks so gorgeous paired with any eye look or just a natural makeup look, it's beautiful!

The Second one in is a Maybelline Lipstick in Tantalising Taupe I can rarely get away with this very pale glossy nude shade, it is a browny nude colour, as taupe would suggest but I have been loving it with darker eyes or bold contour/blush shades, it really complements most makeup looks well! 

Then Last but not least my well loved, Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 38, it is a gorgeous nude/neutral pink with the most gorgeous tones in it and it's the most wearable lipstick shade I think I own for Spring/Summer it will just look so neutral but still very pretty and easy to just put on whenever or wherever you are and it doesn't require too much upkeep you don't have to keep applying it throughout the day!

What's have been your favourites this month?!

Product's I'm Loving Lately


If you'd like to see what products I have been loving in the past month or so then you've come to the right place! I have a mixture of Makeup, Perfume, Body care favourites so I hope you lovely's enjoy and don't forget to tell me what you've been loving too! 

You can find all of the products below: 
Soap and glory Sugar crush body spray - here
Nails Inc Nail Polish in Hyde Park  - here
Benefit Laugh with me Lee Lee Fragrance - here
Nyx Soft Matte lip cream in Copenhagen - here
Seventeen Wet look Liquid eye liner - here
Soap and glory heel genius cream - here
The comforter shower cream - here
Mac lipstick in Velvet Teddy - here
Mac Whirl lip liner - here

Soap and glory Sugar crush body Spray: This body spray is such a gorgeous, sweet scent and it's just a mist/spray so it's easy to just use and makes you smell amazing! It's super good value but it's so easy to use so much as it just smells so amazing! If you like the sugar crush scent you will love this!

Nails Inc Nail polish in Hyde park: I have been having this on my nails constantly throughout January and this month too as it's on my nails right now so it's definitely a nail polish I have an attachment too, because I literally can't stop wearing it. It is the loveliest grey/blue and it just looks so classy and elegant on the nails.

Benefit Laugh with me Lee Lee Fragrance: For a perfume favourite this Benefit one has been my absolute favourite. I love the scent, it's the perfect feminine floral and powdery and I adore the packaging of this perfume too. I definitely think I a going to be loving it for a long long time and the scent lasts really well on my skin!

Nyx Soft Matte lip cream in Copenhagen: Now I hate purple lipsticks on me, but this is the only colour I have found that I actually really like on my skin tone, with some goldy/bronze eye makeup I really have been liking using this, but I probably won't be using it for a while because I am wearing so many pink/peachy lipsticks now the weather is getting a little better.

Seventeen Wet look Liquid eye liner: I am definitely not a pro at applying eye liner. This one is probably one of my most favourites I've discovered along with the barry m liquid liner which you can find here it looks so good on and I feel I can control the nib and the thickness quite easily, which I find very difficult with most liquid eye liners! I really like the fact its 'wet look' too because I think it looks super black as soon as it's applied and stays the same the whole day for me!

Soap and glory heel genius cream: Now I am not a foot lover, really to be honest I hate them, like they are just weird compared to my hands I think feet look super weird, but I know we all have them so. I have really been liking this foot cream, it is quite thick but is so nice to put on and then put on a pair of socks to let your feet soak in the moisture and literally my feet have never looked better! I love painting my toe nails too just because well I think painting them and keeping them nice makes my feet look at least 20x better! I don't usually use foot cream but I really think this is so good!

The comforter shower cream: I am someone who really loves sweet scents and this shower cream from lush is no exception for that! It has the same smell as the much loved and raved about 'The comforter bubble bar' which I adore so I had to buy this! The smell is glorious and I know that I need to buy more before I run out or I will definitely not be a happy bunny!


Mac lipstick in Velvet Teddy: I know this is everyones favourite Mac lipstick but it just has barely come off my lips lately, it's my go to lip colour if I want something that looks sophisticated or won't require to much upkeep throughout the day. As it's a matte lipstick it lasts for ages on the lips!

Mac Whirl lip liner: I also have been loving my Mac lip liner in the shade whirl, it is a super stunning colour and if you like neutral pink lips this lip liner is great and because I have so many neutral nude lipsticks it suits so many of my lipsticks which is a bonus in itself!

Brand Focus: Soap and Glory Makeup


So a few weeks ago I did a Drugstore makeup haul and I included these two Soap and Glory products in that haul, and since I hadn't ever tried any makeup from them before I thought a blog post about them was in order!

If you want to check out my Drugstore Makeup haul you can find it on my blog here
So the Two products I picked out were the Kick Ass Concealer which is a concealer duo with two different concealers it has a peachy/orangey coloured one which I think is meant for use under the eyes as it covers dark areas very well. The other shade is a yellowy concealer which can be used to cover blemishes and any other imperfections. It also has a powder in the top section as there are two different compartments to the concealer pot, the powder is on the top layer and it is to set the concealer I'm guessing, I've only used the powder once with the concealers and it worked great but I'm loving using yellow powders to set my under eye concealer as it really brightens that area (which I really need at the moment!!) Overall this product is lovely and I love it for the under eyes but for blemishes I think I prefer using a liquid concealer like my trusty collection concealer which you can find here.

The second is the infamous Brow Archery! Mine is in the shade Love is Blonde which is a great match for my eye brows, as I find some are too dark or too light for my eye brows but this one is a perfect in-between, I love how natural the wax side is and its really good for creating longer tail to your brows. I also like the pencil side for filling them in but usually if I'm going out somewhere special but for natural everyday brows I just usually use the waxy side! I love how great this is and it's a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz which you can also find it here if you're interested in it!  

Finally I've tried some Soap and Glory Makeup and I am so impressed! For a drugstore brand they are amazing! I can't wait to see what else they have to offer! If you haven't tried anything from them I really recommend these two products!

You can buy these soap and glory products here:

Kick Ass Concealer - www.boots.com
Brow Archery - www.boots.com

Have you tried any of these two products?!
Can anyone recommend any more Soap and Glory Items to me, makeup related or not I would love to know what you love from them!

My Christmas Makeup Of The Day - Everything Drugstore


Currently it is only 3 more sleeps until christmas day! and I am actually super excited! So I thought I would do a post on the makeup I plan on wear on Christmas day and this is it, carry on if you want to see everything I used! I used only drugstore products as I'm really loving so much from Boots and Superdrug at the moment! (UK Drugstore Beauty shops)

So I first used my new favourite foundation the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, which I featured in a Drugstore Makeup haul here which gives such a flawless base and gives a light to medium coverage. I use the shade 52 which is the second lightest shade.

I then used the Soap and Glory kick ass concealer, just to cover up my dark circles with the peachier shade in the duo and then the more yellow shade to cover any pesky blemishes! It's a really good concealer duo as both shades will be good for most skin tones, to correct and conceal.

I didn't use any bronzer as I think I don't need too much with the bold lip and dramatic eyes but you could use some on your skin! I used a No7 highlighting stick to make me skin glow and look really fresh, which I think is perfect for christmas day as I can go all out with the shimmery eye shadows and glowing skin!

I will then use the gorgeous Tanya Burr Hollywood palette which you can see below, I am just going to use the first light shade called 'Nude Delight' and Then the shade 'Enchantment' which is the most pretty gold shade, but it stays on the eyes so well with minimal fallout. If there is any I will just clear this up again with my soap and glory concealer. 

This part is also optional but I then used a tiny bit of 'Bookworm' just to deepen up my crease and to just pull the eye look together. 

I then will apply generous amounts of the Maybelline Lash Sensational after I have curled my lashes lots of times to create the look of some long and curly eyelashes. 


I then have two options for lip colours but if you want a pink or a lighter red shade instead of any of these I have a Christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve, so watch out for that my loves! 

So the first shade which I may use is an affordable drugstore lipstick is Rimmel Kate Moss in 107. It is a gorgeous dark berry colour which suits so many skin tones and is perfect for the colder season.

The second is the Tanya Burr lip gloss, mine is from her limited edition Gingerbread trio which had this lip gloss and Glittery Nail Polish and a nail file, this particular lip gloss is called 'Sugar and Spice' it has a little bit of colour to it, but nothing to out there so I may use a combination of both on Christmas Day. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and watch out for my christmas lip ideas post coming on Christmas Eve. 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Drugstore Haul & First Impressions - December


So If today you want to know what I'm haulin' from the beauty counters at boots this is it! I was super happy to get everything as these are all products I've heard so much about and I am rather happy now I have them all (not that I needed any more makeup) but it was necessary I wanted to try some new things out and it's especially even more justifiable as I repurchased a few items too!

So first I picked up my trusty Lash sensational as I just can't imagine life without it!  sad I know, but it's the real honest truth! it just adds so much length to my lashes and the length is definitely what I lack when it comes to my lashes, so this just adds life back into them and without it I feel like I have no lashes and with it, and well you get the jist it is amazing! and I don't think many mascara's will ever compare to this for me so sorry if you're sick of hearing about it but you'll know why if you've tried it!

The second thing is a beauty I must say, I am literally a highlighter addict at the moment I cannot stop highlighting my face it just gives me so much more life and I definitely love a glow along with my contour. It is a lovely stick form so is so easy to apply and blends so nicely, it's nice and buttery so the formula is easy to just apply and blend out with your fingers or a brush. I have been using it for a week or so now and love the way it looks and for extra glow I love setting it with a powder highlighter, I'm loving the sleek highlighter on top of this to create a gorgeous glow! (from the sleek contour kit)

I have wanted this little product for so so long and when Boots were advertising Nyx coming to Boots online I jumped at the chance as I was so excited to try a infamous matte lip cream from them. The colour of this one is 'Copenhagen' which is a lovely dark reddy purple, it is more purple than red but looks like a berry toned shade, which is perfect for the Christmass-y season! I have used it twice and it lasts so well but when I applied a lip balm before it stayed on without drying my lips too, so a beautiful lip product all in all!

So every girl needs a good coverage drugstore foundation right?! Well this one from Bourjois is definitely gonna be repurchased again and again! I had previously owned the serum version which was lovely but a friend told me to try this one if I wanted more coverage so that's just what I did. I was NOT disappointed I don't know how I managed without it! and have worn it every day since purchasing it so that says something. It lasts really well on my skin and doesn't cake up which most foundations do with me and I don't know how the finish just looks so flawless and natural without being too heavy too!  

The next two are Soap and Glory makeup items and surprisingly I haven't tried any makeup from them before these. I purchased the Brow Archery in 'Love is Blonde' and I love the tint side of the pen it just looks perfect as sometimes I like a lovely natural brow nothing too heavy and I can use both sides, the tint and crayon end, and it'll still make them look super even! I'm so super impressed with it! 

Lastly I needed a concealer and I wanted good coverage for some under eye bags as sleep is something I'm not getting much of lately and I wanted to reduce the appearance of bags and cover them, I wanted to try another Soap and Glory makeup product so that's why I chose the Kick Ass Concealer, it has a yellow toned concealer on one side and a more orange toned one on the other. They blend like a dream and I love having two different colours to correct my under eyes and it's handy to have two different shades!

Summer Beauty Essentials


Today I am doing a blog post on my Summer Beauty Essentials! All of these wonderful products are included because I love them and feel they work well to keep you feeling clean and wonderful! These are all perfect essentials for a Festival or other specific places that are not the cleanest and you may want a few products to help make you feel nice and squeaky clean and help with other problems along the way!

Dove Dry Shampoo: Firstly I find whenever I have been camping (not very often but...) my hair feels awful I think because of natures air and all that haha, so I want something that's going to make it feel more manageable and help to get rid of excess oils which make our hair greasy quicker. I love this product for even when I'm not camping or anything like that but for when I have no time to wash my hair, I feel it adds a bit of volume and structure to my hair and feels so much nicer than just leaving my hair a day without washing or using anything on it.
The smell of this product is glorious too, the smell is amazing and having that scent lash in my hair all day is such a bonus too. Great for festivals when everywhere around you is mud ridden and you just want a bit of a cleanliness boost! I think this is such an amazing product for the price and really makes my hair look a lot fresher and cleaner than most other dry shampoo's I have tried and tested.

The Last product is one I received as a present from a friend I think she originally bought it from Superdrug, it is a very tube so will last a long time. It is a shower creme and feels so luxury on my skin as the scent is a sweet vanilla and I love anything Vanilla.  It is perfect for showers or baths because I find the scent is so relaxing, I have also heard great things about the rest of the 'Cafe de Bain' range so this product definitely tempts me to try more!
