Products I rarely use/never use.

Hey my lovelies, I've got a feeling this post will be a long one. In this post, I will be talking about products  I've bought that I rarely use or that I have never used. This is only my opinion, so if you have a different one that is alright too. Some of the products I rarely use are simply down to colour/colours of them, so I'm not sure if they're fair to include as if I owned them in a different colour they might frequently be used so I'll try not to include things like this, or keep these situations to a minimal throughout this post. 

Now, a little while ago I was watching a video on YouTube by a woman named Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter, some of you will be familiar with her(if you're not: she's lovely and has a great channel, go check her out). She seemed to really enjoy using products by a drugstore/ high street brand named MUA (Make Up Academy) so the next day I popped to my local SuperDrug and purchased some goodies. I actually really like most of the things I bought, I have some really beautiful lip sticks that I like to use and other bits and bobs. Some of the things I haven't yet got round to using (I'll include those too) and a couple of things I'm not best pleased with (which will also be included.) 

(Left to Right) MUA Pressed Powder(shade 1), MUA Eyebrow pencil(Brunette), MUA Matte Perferct Foundation(Fair), MUA Matte Lipstick(Scarlet Siren), MUA Mascara(shade 5), Osiris Avisé conditioning hand and nail lotion, Osiris Avisé body lotion and Collection Blush(04 Trouble). 

MUA Matte Lipstick in the shade Scarlet Siren: This lipstick is SUCH a beautiful red colour so I've been trying to persist with it, but I finally gave up and bought a Natural Collection dupe. The reason for this is, sadly I dislike the waxy consistency, and I find it uncomfortable to wear and difficult to apply.I own other Lipsticks from here (3 to be precise) which I am all very pleased with, each of these 3 are from the orginal collection. This is actually the only lipstick I own from their Matte collection, so maybe it's something to do with that.... 

MUA Pressed Powder in shade 1: I have NOT actually used this yet, even though I've had it for a while. The reason for this is I want to finish the powder I'm currently using first to avoid having two on the go. This was recommended to me by a friend so I quickly picked it up, I'm looking forward to using it. I can do a review on this in the future if anyone is interested. 

MUA Matte Perfect Foundation in the shade Fair: I've used this couple of times, and if I'm honest it's OK for the price. It has got a difficult consistency, but nothing I can't work with. I don't always wear foundation, but when I do I tend to refer to my Olay foundation instead of this one. It's alright for a foundation, nothing spectacular and you get what you  paid for really, but I don't mind using this every now and again. 

MUA Mascara in shade 5: I bought this when I was trying out lots of new Mascaras because I was unhappy with the one I was using. I've only used this once, and when I did I found it was quite clumpy and didn't look particularly natural, to avoid this I had to apply very carefully which is consequently rather time consuming, so this is not one to have for quick and easy appliances when you're out and about. I don't often find myself reaching for this, in fact I have barely used it and I'm not planning too. If you have spare time in the morning and you're looking for a affordable drug store/high street Mascara this one might be for you, however there are much better Mascaras out there but maybe for a slightly larger price tag. 

MUA Eyebrow Pencil in shade Brunette: Lately I've been trying out lots of eyebrow pencils so firstly that's how this one came into my possession. This is actually no where near my shade, when I was looking at them in store they had ones that said they were for Blondes and ones that said they were for Brunettes, so being a Brunette myself I obviously went for the darker of the two shades. They also didn't have testers of either colours, so there was no particular way of knowing what each one would turn out like. This is far off my shade, but with a whole lot of blending it is do-able. It's the not best eyebrow pencil, and I don't use it.

End of the MUA Products!

Collection Blush in the shade 04 Trouble: I use this a little, but not to much. The product is really nice and easy to blend, I just find the particular shade is REALLY shimmery which is hard to wear without ending up looking very over the top. The colour it's self is lovely, I just think it has a little too much added shimmer. Overall, I like this blusher, I'm looking into getting more colours with less shimmer so it is easier to wear.

Osiris Avisé duo: The duo consists of a Conditioning hand & nail lotion and a mosturising body lotion. I've never heard of this brand before, so honestly I don't know if it's any good - it sounds French though? I rarely use this, not because I have any problems with the product themselves I just find the large bottles hard to transport and handle. I'm not sure where I bought these - sorry.

I obviously I couldn't include every product I have never used/rarely used because we would be here all day! However, if you enjoyed this post and would like to see another one on the same topic that mayne do-able, comment any requests down below. I'm Nearly at 800 Page Views! Thank so so much everyone! Hope you enjoyed this post, check back for more posts soon.

L'Occitane Goodies!

Hello my lovelies, today's post will be on my L'Occitane items, which I believe is the travel exclusive set. It comes with 6 different products, and so far I've began to use 2 of them, which I both really love. The set includes:
-Repairing Shampooing Shampoo with 5 essential oils and is 75ml. It says it's to repair dry and damaged hair. I haven't actually used this yet, but it smells delicious. 

-Repairing Shampooing Conditioner with 5 essential oils and is 75ml. It also says the same thing: 'for dry and damaged hair.) I haven't used this one yet either, but it obviously looks like it would work great with the Shampoo.

-Shower Oil, this smells amazing! I'm also really excited to use this as I haven't already, and this is also 75ml.

-Ultra Rich Body Lotion, this also looks and smells good too, I haven't used this either. My gosh I have a lot of new things to try out lately, this one is also 75ml.

-Dry Skin Hand Cream, now I have used this and I absolutely love it to pieces, in fact since the L'Occitane goodies have been in my possession it's been the only hand cream I've used. I really recommend this product, it's just great. My tube of this is 10ml.

-Ultra Rich Lip Balm, I've also been using this a lot recently, it's actually now one of my lip balm favourites I think! I makes my lips appear more healthy, moisturises and softens. Mine is 2g. If you're on the hunt for a good lip balm I recommend taking a quick peek at this one.

Each and everyone of these beauties came packed neatly in a L'Occitane transparent wash bag which looked really nice and the wash bag is also handy. Here's a quick snap, I've re-arranged the goodies to look like how they originally came but unfortunately it's difficult to see the Hand Cream when it's set up in this layout, but it is also in this picture behind the Lip Balm if you were wondering.

Love,

Haul! Primarni, Boots and more.

Hey my lovelies This post will be a haul on what I have picked up over the last 2 days (where I was shopping on both.) Firstly, I would like to add by sharing this I am in no way trying to show off, as most of this haul is from Primark I thought it may be helpful as unfortunately Primark doesn't have a website. 
I'll do clothing from Primark first:

I picked up this plain grey Halter Cami Top because I liked the simple style and thought it would be quite useful to start to stock up a little for Summer. It's actually quite baggy and floaty and has got a really soft material. I think this was £2.50.

.

Next I picked up this black dress which has a crochet pattern above the waist line and then a plain black skirt. I thought it was pretty and simple and very useful for the Summer time. I think these are also avaliable in white and coral, but I thought this would be more versatile. This was £5.

I then just picked up these pumps for pretty much no reason. I thought they would look nice for summer I guess, as they would go well with quite a lot of  outfits but now I'm not as sure on them. When I was trying them on, I was wearing very thick cosy socks, so they're also a little too big for me, but nothing I can't work with. These were £3.

Firstly, this is an awful picture and doesn't at all so the shape of this. It's a play suit that is covered with monochrome (I guess) Aztec print. It also has a cut out on the back which is super pretty. I thought again it would be nice for summer (re-occurring theme here.) This was £5.

Next it just the other bits I picked up in Primark:

This is the original photo which I've just attached because you can see the different items clearer.

This is the edited version so I can use it for my annotation 

A = Eyebrow pencil, mine is in the shade Medium. I picked this up as I like to try a wide range of different eyebrow pencils as I'm trying to update myself to one that really suits me, I doubt this one will work but for £1 I decided to give it a try.

B= A floral hair accessory. Now, I'm really late on the trend with this, I've seen so many different wacky variations you can do with these little things, so I thought it was about time a gave it a go. For those of you who don't know the concept, it's basically a piece of flexible wire encased with floral (in my case) material which you can wrap around you head and make things like bows on the top of your head. Bad explanation alert! This was £1.50

C= This is a hairbrush, can't remember what it is called but it's really spikey. Okay that was a bad start. I decided to buy this as I've seen loads of different people using it so I looked in my local SuperDrug and my local Boots (both of which are very small) for a small one and neither had any so I was pretty happy when I managed to find in Primark. This was £1.50.

D=  A nail polish in a light lilac colour which I thought looked gorgeous so .... it somehow slipped into my basket and then I accidentally might have bought it. It was £1 although I'm not expecting great quality.

E= Fake Nails, never really tried fake nails before as I know it can be very damaging to my nails and I also find it hard to find ones that fit me as I happen to have the most tiny hands which means I have really small nails as well. I picked these up because they were only £1 and maybe I could try and play around with them.

G= A Pink Jasmine candle because Jasmine is like my all time favourite scent and this candle is pink so I was pretty much immediately sold. This was £1.

That's all I bought from Primark! Next I went to Boots and picked up:

I got a Natural Collection lip stick in Crimson which I think looks really nice, it's just a plain classic red, but it is very red, if that makes any sense. This was only £1.99 (from Boots)! I can't find the actual link to this exact product online, sorry.

The foundation brush isn't actually from Boots, I'm not sure where it's from as I've been popping into so many different shops lately, because of this I'm also not sure of the price. It's really soft though, if that helps (which it doesn't.)

The Minx body spray was bought for my little sister as she likes body sprays and the title of this one reminded me off her, it also smells really nice. It was on sale in SuperDrug, can't remember the exact price but I think it was on sale or on some kind of offer.

The Canister is from a local store, not even sure why I bought this I just thought I could make it look nice in my bed room maybe holding something like nail varnishes? I really haven't thought this through so now I'm stuck with a Canister on my desk making me feel guilty. Great.

I got the £50 note rubber for no reason, I don't even need any more rubbers if I'm honest I just thought it looked cool. Yes, I do actually spend money on stuff like this. I think this was £1 from a local store.

Finally I bought I small green candle holder to hold my Yankee Candles as it looked like the perfect size (and it is.) It was something silly like 50p also from a local shop.

I will do a post on my L'Occitane goodies! I promise! I'm trying to find some time where I could squeeze writing blog in, but it will be coming really soon, so keep checking back for that. Hope you've enjoyed this blog post, literally has taken me forever to write all this out and do the photography.

Love,

Whats In My Bag!

Hello my lovelies! This will just be a quick What's In My Bag post as I'm sure you've seen many times before, how unoriginal of me! I've chosen to post this because if you're nosy like me, you might enjoy reading about what other people find useful to carry around. This is just what I'm currently carrying in my hand bag as well as added makeup items I know I'll need during the day (if I'm wearing a specific lipstick colour, I will add that colour in particular.) I will do an updated version in the future if you guys like it, if I've missed something sorry, that natural light is fading so I didn't have much time to set up the photo or check the items, they're just what I pulled out of my bag. 

This actually has the most appalling lighting...opps! Well, this is what's in my bag, here are all the items and their justifications. 

-Purse, I don't really have to justify this one, it's just the standard purse, mine is quite large and has a pretty floral print. In case anyone is wondering, my purse is from Cath Kidston. I'm afraid I can't find the link to this exact purse, but Click Here To View The Cath Kidston Site .

-Phone, I don't think I have to justify this either. It's just a iPhone 4 in white, yeah that's about it. How boring.

-Head Phones, so I can play music from my phone in public without being disruptive. The ones pictured above have cute little duckies on them, I love decorated head phones/ear buds (call them whatever you please) as they're just less boring. I also have these with pink Lego blocks and  pop art Union Jack hearts. Don't actually know where these are from, sozzles. 

-Chewing Gum, normally I have mint so it freshens my breath but right now I just have a strawberry flavour, which is alright. I'm not one of those people that refuse to chew all gum except one type, I'll just settle for whatever so the particular gum I have varies.

- Hand Sanitizer, just if I put my hand in something ewwy or if I'm on public transport or something along those lines. The one pictured above is from The Body Shop and is in the flavour Pink Grapefruit (I love this one so so much.) I've done a blog post on this one before, Click Here To View That Previous Blog Post. Hand santizers are important and essential for me (I know it's not that way for everyone) so I'm not too fussed about what brand or flavour. Click Here To View This Hand Santizer At The Body Shop Online.

- Impulse, always good too smell nice, so I normally carry a body spray which tends to be an impulse (not always this scent.) This one is in the scent Very Very Pink which is meant to smell like Orange & White Wood, but if I'm honest it just smells amazingly gorgeous, I really like this scent and recommend you give it a sniff next time you spot it on the shelves. Click Here To View The Impulse Featured.

- Lip Balms, here I have the Nivea Soft Rose' Lip Balm which smells really good and is nice on the lips, apart it's just your average lip balm. Can't find the link to this exact one, but I'm think it's pretty easy to find in store. The other lip balm photographed above is a BabyLips in Pink Punch, it has a pink tint, is really good for your lips and I like it bunches. I've actually done a review on this along with the other BabyLips I own, Click Here To See My Review On BabyLips.
Click Here To View The Product Online.

-Hair Bobble, I have hair on my head(well done Poppy.) No seriously, I have hair that can sometimes become a little unruley so it's really handy to have one of these floating around my bag.

-Pocket Mirror, these are just really handy to check up on makeup or hair etc. I'm not sure where the one photographed is from, but it is pretty standard.

I obviously carry other necessities like keys, but I didn't feel the need to photograph them. Hope you enjoyed this post, they'll be more coming soon so keep checking back. I also think I'll soon be doing a post on some L'occitane items, stay tuned for that. If I'm posting less it's because I am currently experiencing strong back pain and I don't know what's caused it.
Love,

Review: Simple Kind To Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion.

Hello my lovelies! This is a review on the Simple Kind To Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion, and for those of you who don't know, it is in simpler a cleanser. I bought this in Boots (I think) a little while ago, so I haven't actually been using it as long as other products I review, but this has already made a big impression on me. 

When you apply this, it looks a bit like the bog standard average moisturisers, you know the kind you can pick up anywhere, but it turns out to be far from this. When I've applied, I feel refreshed and pleased as I feel like this is giving my skin a boost. It removes make-up and sooths/softens my skin. Although I haven't had it long, I already love this product bunches, and I know this will become a permanent staple in my facial care routine. In fact, I like so much that today I even went out to buy the Simple kind to skin soothing facial toner as I now have such high hopes for this brand, and also paired together it may boost the results. I also have really sensitive skin, so I either hate things like this or I love them, and I'm so glad I discovered this one! I also use the Simple kind to skin cleansing facial wipes for when I'm too lazy to use cleanser (which probably won't be very often now I own the cleanser, it's just so beneficial for my skin.)

Quick update on photography!

Hello my lovelies!
 This will be a very quick post just to update you on future photography I'm planning on doing. As you can probably tell, my photography is kind of a work in progress, and I'm thinking of new ways to take more artistic professional images, so I bought two big sheets of card (one in a Cherry Red colour and one blank white) to have plain backgrounds without creases. I will start to take pictures this new way as soon from now in and if it works it will be included in almost every post. You can purchase card like this in post places (super markets, craft shops etc.) If you're wondering what camera I use, I just use my iPad mini and attach onto a blog I've pre-written on my Laptop using the app Blogger(it's quite a useful app for on the go blogging - I may do a post on it so keep checking back if you're looking out for something like that.) So I basically wanted to update you on that my style of photography may change in this way.
Love,

Review: Collection Cover Up Stick in Light Translucent 1(Concealer.)

Hello my lovelies, this post will be a review on the Collection Cover Up Stick, which for those of you who don't know, is a concealer. Mine is in the shade Light Translucent 1.

I actually picked up this up because I desperately needed a new concealer, but I went out determined to find the Collection lasting perfection concealer, little did I know that my local SuperDrug would be sold out of my shade (I need Cool Medium, unfortunately that's a very popular shade.) This happened in early December. It is now coming up to mid April. My local SuperDrug has still not restocked once on these concealers in this time period and it is driving me insane! So in the mean time I decided to pick up the Collection cover up stick and just hoped it would live up to all the craze of the other one.

 In all fairness, this is probably one of the best drugstore/ high street concealers I've tried of it's kind (not liquid or included in a palette.) It has decent coverage for it's price and doesn't feel to heavy, it also lasts a fair amount of time - especially in you set it using a pressed powder. It's packaging is plain and simple and just states what it is and what it's mean to do, it says, 'Conceals Blemishes. Improved skin adherence for long lasting wear.' It opens and closes easily but securely and doesn't take up too much room so it's suitable to carry in a handbag/purse. When being applied it can initially feel a little waxy, but it glides onto skin quite well, and blends brilliantly. I think until I can get my hands on a Collection lasting perfection concealer, I will continue to repurchase this one.

The name seems to have changed since I purchased this - just avoid confusion.

Review: BabyLips (Cherry Me, Hydrate, Pink Punch and Peach Kiss.)

Hello lovelies, this will be a review on Babylips, mine are in the flavours Hydrate(which I have already repurchased),Cherry Me, Pink Punch, Peach Kiss (all of which I will repurchase when the time comes.) 

Cherry Me:

-Smells amazing and obviously of cherries and has a pretty red tint which looks nice when being worn and can be worn with almost everything. It's also very moisturising and good for your lips just the other BabyLips, it's packaging is quite cute and colourful and of course matches all the other BabyLips so it looks nice on display (if that's what you're in to). It's handbag size like most lip balms but could easily be carried in a pocket or a purse (each of the BabyLips lip balms are the same size). I really this product as it adds something extra than just normally lip balm, but less intense colour than  a Lipstick. It's perfect for summer days as it's subtle but it adds colour as well as protects(which is important!) 

Link:  CHERRY ME

Pink Punch: 

-It's packaging fits into the theme of the other BabyLips lip balms as they all match, which I think is quite nice, like the other balms this one has colours that stand out and look great on the outside. This one actually a light subtle pink tint which is really pretty and versatile, it also smells sweet and fruity as well as being good for lips and moisturising. It's great for days where you just want to chuck something  on and know it's doing good for your lips. This one is probably one of my favourites.

Link:  PINK PUNCH

Hydrate:

-This one is in all honesty a simple normal lip balm, it hasn't got a tint or specific smell, but I still love it as it moisturises much more than your average lippy. It's clear on your lips but it naturally adds a bit of shine and when applying it just smoothly glides on which I really like. It has a bit of a funny taste, but personally I have got used to it. This is probably one of my staple make-up items as it simply does wonders for my lips by moisturising and reviving them. 

Link:  HYDRATE 

Peach Kiss:

-This one is like Hydrate, except it's less moisturising but has a added sparkle. It's smells and taste great(not that I eat my lip balms...) Its still moisturising, although it is not the most beneficial out of the bunch. I still enjoy using it, mostly over different lip sticks to add that little bit extra. I probably actually use this one the least out of the different ones I own but it has had it's moments where I have been so glad I have this!

Review: Overall opinion about the drugstore/ high street brand MissSporty + Studio Colour Mono Eyeshadow (108 Romance.)

Hello my lovelies! Through out the course of today I have/will be posting quite a lot to make up for the last few days with no/minimal blogs. This one will be a review on the Miss Sporty Studio Colour Mono Eye Shadow, mines in the shade 108 Romance, however, it will also include a quick review of my experience with this brand and photos of other products I've owned, enjoy. 

It's such a beautiful light pink neutral colour and is fairly pigmented so it can pretty much be worn with everything!  I didn't actually realize just how much I use this until I lost it for a few days in my travel cosmetic bag and I went bezerk trying to find it! It's easy and quick to apply and is also quite subtle so it's great for natural or just everyday looks. It's a mono eyeshadow, so it's easy to travel with as it doesn't take up a lot of space in a make-up bag unlike the irritating scenario when you end up carrying a whole palette just for one essential eyeshadow.
Eyeshadow (108 Romance):  http://www.superdrug.com/miss-sporty/miss-sporty-studio-colour-mono-eyeshadow-romance/invt/854668&bklist=
(This is the same product and the same colour but since I've had mine the packaging has recently changed, so mine is actually the older version of the packaging - just so you don't get confused.)

I think sometimes people can turn their nose up at drugstores/high street brands like this and I've got to admit I've done it too, but along with the gorgeous royal jelly Dr Balms (which I've repurchased in the shade 02 and also own in the shade 01) and their nail polish (I recommend looking at the Clubbing Colours Quick Dry Range) and of course this lovely eyeshadow to me Miss Sporty have proved themselves, and I think they are actually very good value for money on almost all products if you're looking for a good affordable drugstore/high street brand. I'm looking forward to possibly trying out different bits and pieces I wouldn't usually buy from Miss Sporty to see if they live up to the quality of other things I've bought or been given/recommended!
 I've also photographed my other different Miss Sporty products even though this review is NOT based on them. If you would like a review in any of the products you see in the pictures, comment down below and I'll try my best to do a post on them as soon as I can! 

My Dr Balms with Royal Jelly (which I really like):

(Left to Right) 01 and 02. Could have been given more inventive names!

My Nail Products (which I think are quite nice too):

(Left to Right) 326, 344, 320, 456 (all of which are from the Clubbing Colours range!), 060, 080 (both from the Lasting Colour range) and finally Mr No-Name(I do know it's from the Sparkle Touch range.)

Review: Intensive Hand Cream and Concentrated Hand Balm.

Hello my lovelies! This will be another review, but this time it will be on the Intensive Hand Therapy Hand Cream and the Concentrated Hand Therapy Hand Balm, I think these are both only available from SuperDrug. If you haven't already noticed these are both from the same range, I think this range has 4 different hand creams each for different things, or the number is somewhere similar to that, but these two were the ones I thought were most suited to me so these are what I decided to pick up. I also think I bought these together while they were on sale, I am SO glad I got these. Both creams are pretty similar and both are good for your hands. 

The Intensive Hand Cream says on the packaging that it has 'Vitamin E and glycerin  to moisturise and protect dry hands', which personally sold it as I love to have healthy soft hands, and the Concentrated Hand Balm also says 'rescue treatment for dry and chapped hands' which convinced me to buy this one also as during the colder months I can get chapped hands so I'm constantly on the look out for products that say they can help. Although they both say they are for different things, to be honest they are very similar and still good for your hands. I use these both alot to keep my hands healthy and I feel like they're really beneficial, and I'm sure I will continue to re-purchase these. Their packaging is simple as it just says exactly what each product is meant to do, it's also easy to carry around in a handbag or something along those lines as they are both in medium sized bottles. Neither stay sticky once applied, they both sink in really quickly. Overall, I really like using these and I would recommend both of these if you're on the look put for a good affordable hand cream/balm. 

Intensive Hand Cream :   http://www.superdrug.com/superdrug/superdrug-hand-therapy-intensive-cream-75ml/invt/201422&bklist=
Concentrated Hand Balm:  http://www.superdrug.com/superdrug/superdrug-hand-therapy-dry-skin-cream-75ml/invt/201417&bklist=
While I was finding the links, I discovered that both of these are currently on sale for under £1 online at SuperDrug! Happy shopping!

Review on Mac Dazzleglass (Like Venus #5) and 'The Hunt'!

Hello lovelies!

 I was watching one of Tyler Oakley's YouTube Videos (not sure which one, sorry!) when he briefly talked about an app named 'The Hunt,' so mostly out of curiosity I downloaded it onto my iPhone. So far I actually think it's quite useful, which actually surprised me as I am quite picky with apps, and I don't actually like/use too many of them. A good thing about this is it can also be used through a laptop/computer. For those of you who don't know or have never had the app, it's basically has fashion/style/beauty genre. You upload a picture of something you want (clothes, accessories etc)and other users will respond if they have found anywhere it can be purchased. You can also follow other hunts for specific items you like, this will mean that you get notified if there is a response showing where it possibly could be purchased. The only thing  I don't really like about this is I think every item shows price in dollars, now, I'm not sure if this is just an American app or if it's just my settings or something, but I'm not too keen on the idea of shipping. I will try and figure it out, if any of you can help feel free to comment below.

The Hunt Website:  https://www.thehunt.com/

I don't actually know if this app is widely used, I've only just heard of it but maybe it's big in other places. Another similar app which I love is called Polyvore, I highly recommend you check it out if you're interested in these type of apps(I know I am!) 

REVIEW TIME:

This is a review on the Mac Dazzleglass and mine is in the shade Like Venus #5. It comes out I really nice light pink colour which adds to most make-up looks. I really really like this and it is one of my favourite and most-worn lip glosses. I'm already looking out for more of these as I know they come in all kinds of gorgeous shades. I highly recommend this Lip Gloss, I think it's the most perfect pink colour and is just great for the Summer/Spring months. 

Mac Dazzleglass (Like Venus): 

http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/shaded/166/1765/Products/Lips/Lipglass/Dazzleglass/index.tmpl

I would quickly like to add I don't think the picture of this on the Mac website looks like how the actual shade in person, I'm not sure why but on the site it looks quite different.

Love, 

Poppy

Hello my lovelies! Today + yesterday I went out shopping with my friend. I didn't get too much as we were only going for a quick window shop in our local town (which is relatively small and doesn't have many shops.) I got a few things but nothing too major but I thought I would share them with you. Also, just before I start I'd like to quickly say sorry for not posting as much these last few days - I've been really occupied with revision. 

The first thing I bought was a Natural Collection eyeshadow in Sea Shell. I like to use light couloured eyeshadows as highlighter under the brow, unfortunately the one I like too use smashed into smithereens this morning but it was a present so I'm sure where I could buy another one, so I went out searching for dupe. The closet I could find was Natural Collection I Boots so obviously I hastily picked it up.

(To me personally, the picture on the website doesn't match the actual colour in person.)

Next I got two Yankee Candles in the scents Beach Flowers and Vanilla Lime. I got the Beach Flowers scent because I really liked it in the shop and thought it would be really nice to try out, and I bought the Vanilla Lime scent a!s it was it was recommended to me by a friend (she also wrote a detailed blog post about it:http://zuzannasblogandstuff.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/vanilla-lime-yankee-candle.htm). I really like the smell of both of these and I'm desperate to go back and buy another in Midnight Jasmine - which I think May even be my all-time favourite.

Then I bought this lovely Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade 16. I basically just bought this because I've been looking at it for a little while as I really like the colour, and I also really want to purchase more lipsticks to widen my collection of different shades. Right now, I'm trying to get a chance to go into TopShop to look at the shades they have there, but I don't have one very near me. If you can recommend any other lipsticks please do!

The picture of it on my lips is really bad (sorry). I was applying it in a rush, and my face was wet. Also, in the picture is the only product I am wearing - so no gloss or balm. I've tried to capture the colour, but my photography hasn't really done it justice.

The last thing I purchased is a new flower crown as I unfortunately lost mine! I really my new one though, and I've already worn it! I love buying hair accessories like this because they're so easy to wear and go with so many different summer outfits. I find them an essential!

I've tried to find the link to this exact one on the site, but I just can't find it! However, there are other flower accessories and alternate flower crowns if you're interested.

I also then just picked up a few Extra strawberry gum as they were on sale for something ridiculous like 10p per packet of 10. Not my usual choice of flavour but for 10p for each pack I haven't really got anything to lose, plus, having chewing gum handy is pretty important! Now thinking back I think I went over board considering I didn't even know if I liked the gum or not. ( I now know I do, although it makes me quite thirsty?!)
You can pick these up almost anywhere! I personally got these in SuperDrug.

There will most likely be a series of review coming up in the near future, possibly further details on some of the Body Shop items and on other new buys. If you have any requests comment down below (doesn't have to be beauty related although the majority of my posts are.)

Review on the Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Hairspray.

Hello My Lovelies, If you haven't already guessed by the caption, this is a review on the Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Hairspray.

I picked this up as on the packaging it claims to be anti-frizz, have a strong hold and most importantly soft touch so I decided to give it a go. I loath hairsprays that make my hair go hard/crusty. It just isn't natural for hair to be that way, I dislike how it feels, how it looks, the texture - just everything, that's what really sold this one to me as it claims to be Soft-touch, and quite frankly I would pounce on most hairsprays that state something along those lines. I was really excited to try this out, and it did not disappoint! I absolutely love this, the smell is so so nice and not chemically like other hairsprays I've tried. The bottle is really pretty and has a bright pink and orange diagonal stripes. It doesn't make my hair frizzy, and it keeps it in place. Thumbs up, would really recommend this! 

I think it's about £5 for 290ml from SuperDrug (that's where I bought mine.)

Lush Snaps!

Hello lovelies! This isn't a review or anything exciting, but a couple of weeks ago I was in a Lush store and I just quite liked some of the snaps I took. I know I have already posted lots today but I've been quite excited to share this. 

I love visiting Lush Stores and I wish I had the chance to do so more often, but whenever I do manage to pop into the shop I always buy something! I get through bath bombs really slowly so right now I have a large cluster than I need to attempt to get through, and until I manage to do so I shouldn't really be buying anymore. From this visit I think I just bought an Ickle Baby Bot bath bomb, which is actually one of my ultimate favourites. I know that sounds really strange as it's such an unexciting choice, but I like it because it's really relaxing and is good for my skin. It's also on the cheap side which means you can bulk buy without doing as much damage. 

If you have never ventured into a Lush Store I highly recommend you give it a whirl as it is one of my favourite shops and you can pick up some really nice things in there aswell as them being beneficial for your skin. Bath bombs aren't for everyone, and others just can't bear the strong smell of the shop but I think it is worth giving it a try. 

Love,

Poppy

Gilly Hicks Calla Bluff Body Mist Review.

Hello again my lovelie! Here comes another post, this time it will be a review on the Gilly Hicks Calla Bluff Body Mist as I have just done a review on the Annadale Moore Body Mist (also from Gilly Hicks.) I thought it was only right I did another review, but on Calla Bluff.

So before we get started I'm just going to get the relevant links out of the way:
- Gilly Hicks Website:    http://uk.gillyhicks.com/shop/uk
-My Blog Post on Annadale Moore:  http://poppysblogstuff.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/gilly-hicks-annadale-moore-body-mist.html
- The Body Mist:  It's really unfortunate, but this is no longer available on their website, so it may be limited edition - sorry, however, it may still be available in store but I'm not 100% so don't take my word for it. 

And with that, lets begin! I really, really like this product. It smells really sweet and fruity, which naturally a perfect Summer scent. It's also much rarer to see people using this spray compared to Annadale Moore  because as we have discovered, it is harder to get hold of. The only thing I would say is it is not great for travel as it is in quite large packaging. On to the packaging (smooth transition there) it is very beautiful for a Body Mist, it looks authentic and rustic which is just a bonus onto such a nice spray. I think, if you can get your hands on it I would defiantly take the opportunity while it lasts! I'm so glad I've got mine.

Here's a quick picture: (You know what I'm going to say - Soz boz for the photography, if I was in school right now I would have been given one of those 'I must try harder' stickers, joy! )

Love,

Poppy

Gilly Hicks Annadale Moore Body Mist Review.

Hello again my lovelies! You may be wondering why I am back quite so soon, well, I did promise a beauty review, and some inspiration hit me just like that! Here we go:

This is a review on the Gilly Hicks Body Mist in the scent Annadale Moore. I think this is one of the more popular scents, as I have seen quite a few people using it. I personally quite like it, it has a lovely sweet scent which is quite nice and possibly a bit floral? I'm not sure but that is just my interpretation. I think scent is quite a personal thing, not everyone will like one scent, however, this one seems to be widely used. Another thing I like about this, is the packaging. Yes, I know, don't judge a book by it's cover, but the packaging on this just looks so authentic and beautiful, the actual product its self is actually pink, which looks interesting through it's semi-transparent casing.  

Here's a quick snap of the product: (Sorry about photography - as usual!)

And the award for the worlds worst photography goes to..... *drumroll please* ME. What a surprise that was...not!

The Body Mist:    http://uk.gillyhicks.com/shop/uk/p/annadale-moore-body-mist-1042648_01

Over all I'd say this is a really nice Body Mist and would recommend it to a friend. Also, I also own the Gilly Hicks Body Mist in Calla Bluff, which I could also do a review on, infact I might do it back to back with this one, so look out for it if you're interested. Also, if anyone of you have any blog post request you would like me to do please comment below and I will try my best! Thanks guys! 
Love, 

Poppy
