Huge December Haul! <3

Hiya my lovelies! So it only feels like yesterday that I done a haul - but in the last few weeks I have acumulated quite a lot of things - so in this post I will be showing you those!

Firstly I some makeup from a brand called "Honey Bee Gardens" :

I got a pressed powder which is amazing coverage and evens out my skin complection ($10.99)! The mascara lengthens my lashes perfectly and volumises them although it doesn't hold your eyelash curl for very long - it is probably my all time favorite. It doesn't clump, and can give either a very natural look with one coat or a dramatic look with two or three coats. It lasts all day, and washes off really easily with a tiny bit of makeup remover ($11.99). The lip stick ($12.99) and lip liner ($8.99) are both really nice colours and glide on lips really well as the consistency is super creamy and soft!

I then got some "Ginger & Co" products :

Firstly, the "Hand It To Me" hand cream is super moisturising and makes my hands incredibly smooth and lucious - it has the delicious blend of Mallow, Lemon Balm and Rose and moisturises to keep hands soft and smelling sweet (£2.99)! The "Bathing Beauty" moisturising bubble bath and wash smells really good and sweet, has the delicious blend of Marshmallow Leaf, Blossom Honey & Lemon Balm to help moisturise your skin and give you a relaxing and soothing bathing experience (£3.99). Lastly, I have the "Double Up" creamy body wash, it  has the berrylicious blend of Ginger Root, Beauplex and Juniper Berry with added moisturisers so you can wash and moisturise at the same time (£3.99)!

Next, I got this shower gel from a brand called "Treacle Moon" :

I am supporting "Treacle Moons" #beyou project which is their new project that helps to reduce the amount of bullying - check out more information on this by clicking this link -

Next, I got some gorgeous lip balms from a brand called "Friggin lip balms" :

Friggin’ lip balms are 100% natural. Their lip balms apply so silky and smooth to moisturize and soften dry lips. Their lip balms come in a sleek, unique container that prevents your lip balm from falling out of your pocket. Friggin’ lip balms are such high quality Canadian-made products, that are packaged to meet the needs of busy people, available at a reasonable price, ($5.99 each).

I also got some more products from W7 cosmetics :

The W7 "In The Nude" pallet (£9.99) contains 12 inspired shades for a softly smokey eye look! The W7 "Keep Em Dry" waterproof mascara top coat (£4.95) allows you to with just one application turn your favourite mascara into a waterproof mascara - it also separates your lashes nicely too! The W7 "Cheeky Chaps Multi Blush" (£6.50) adds a lovely flushed glow to my cheeks making me look nice and rosey! The W7 "Queen Of Brows" brow gel (£4.95) adds a gorgeous colour to my very light brows and makes them stand out but at the same time look very natural!

Then I got some products from "The Body Shop" :

The "Fresh Nude Foundation" in the shade 010 Porcelain (£15) has such fantastic coverage! It makes every day a good skin day! It's enriched with English rose water and aloe vera, that hydrating formula leaves skin feeling beautifully fresh and comfortable all day. It also contains SPF 15 to help protect your skin. With a semi-matte finish, each of the 16 nature-inspired shades mimic the look of fresh-faced natural skin with a nude glow. The "All-In-One Insta Blur Primer" (£14) blurs all imperfections, giving you a flawless photo-perfect skin in an instant! It's also made with Community Fair Trade marula oil. Lastly, the "All-In-One Insta Blur Eye Primer" (£10) instantly perfects the appearance of the eye area. Use alone to smooth and conceal imperfections. Use under eyeshadow as a primer to enhance and prolong wear.

I also got a new fake tan from a brand called "Madame La La" :

Their products are such reasonable prices and amazing quality! Might use it tonight after my bath, I can already tell that it will be amazing! Click the link below which will take you over to their website and make sure you order yourself some of their products!

http://www.madamelala.com

Next, I got some bits to try from "Merumaya" :

The first thing is "Everything Everywhere Beauty Oil" which is non greasy, it absorbs well, leaving a beautiful healthy sheen rather than just sitting on the surface. It treats a multitude of skin needs, making it superbly practical as well as pleasurable.  Use direct on the face and body or mix with moisturisers. Use as a scalp treatment or in a scalp facial as well as to tame frizzy ends on your hair. Nourish cuticles, brows and lashes and use within manicures, pedicures or as an intense overnight foot/hand treatment. The "Mud Marvel Mask" deeply cleanses, detoxifies skin, evens and brightens skin tone. It minimises pores, helps control oily skin, spots and blemishes. Powered by activated charcoal and ground volcanic ash, along with purifying kaolin and bentonite, to deeply cleanse and detoxify skin. AHA's gently exfoliate resulting in a radiant, refreshed complexion.  A complex of nourishing oils ensures effective, facial-quality results, without feeling stripped.  Men will love this too.

Well that concludes my huge December haul! Hope you enjoyed it, and make sure so check out all these products!

Reveal&Review / New Brand In Superdrug? <3

Hiya guys <3 !

Today's blog post is very exciting!! As you can probably tell by the title, the much loved Superdrug is welcoming a new cosmetics brand to the shelves...

FREEDOM COSMETICS!!

I was lucky enough to get the chance to be sent some of the products that they are going to be stocking before they went into the shops, and in this post I'm going to be showing you some of the products that I was sent and reviewing them for you all✨!

Firstly I tried out these 2 eyebrow products...

The "Eyebrow Pomade" is super creamy and an awesome dupe for the "Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade" - the one from FREEDOM was £5 which is only a fraction of the price compared to the Anastasia one, and I find the consistency of it so much better!

The "Duo Eyebrow Powder" is also really amazing, I just expected to be a bog standard eyebrow powder, but I was pleasantly surprised! Mine is in the shade "Blonde" so it's really natural and doesn't make my eyebrows look fake. Also, it applies really nicely as when I dip my brush into the powder, it only picks up a small amount of the product so it applies incredibly!

Next is this FREEDOM "Pro Studio Priming Water"...

It keeps my makeup on all day and isn't sticky or tacky at all! Also, it smells just like tangerines which is so lush! It's £5.

I also got this FREEDOM "Pro Strobe Cream Palette"... 

It's amazing! It comes with a palette filled with cream contour and highlighting colours that are such a nice blendable consistency! It also comes with a brush which is the perfect shape to define your cheek bones perfectly! The kit is £10. 

Next, was this FREEDOM "Pro Highlighter"...

This product adds a beautiful glow to my face without making me look too dewy! It's very affordable at £3.50! 

Then I got this "Pro Contour Stick"...

Been loving this product as it makes my cheek bones look nice and chiselled, just like Kim Kardashians! It's £5 which is a really great price as the products is double ended so it also comes with a highlighting concealer which makes my dark under eye circles fade and it makes me look more awake! 

Here's the link to their website and then you can buy some of their wonderful, new and exciting products :

Raspberry Pink Peony Pocket Bac Review <3

Hello everyone! This is going to be a short little blog post about a product I recently bought from eBay!

I bought a pocket bac, which is a brand by a shop In America, which is called bath and body works that I desperately want in the UK!

A pocket bac is basically a hand sanitiser with cute packaging and a lush scent!

I got the flavour - raspberry pink peony!

I bought it for £2.59, with free shipping from a seller on EBay (it was brand new). 

It came super quick and now I'm going to review it a little bit! 

Let me just say, the packaging is beautiful! It has lots of pretty berries on it! I love the shape and size of it as its nice and compact for your school bag, blazer, or handbag, etc. it was amazingly cheap for a new pocket bac!

The scent - WOW! It smells like freshly cut strawberries, it's a very sweet smell but isn't too over powering!

Overall I rate it a 9/10, to get a 10 I think it would need to have more blue bursting beads in it!

 

If you want to buy one, I linked the seller back up there⬆️.

They also sell many other scents to try! 

Bye Guys!

Review on the MrBlanc Teeth Whitening Strips <3

Hello guys! 

The lovely company MrBlanc teeth whitening strips kindly sent me some of their whitening strips for me to try!

Here is their link to their website to buy some⬇️

http://www.mrblancteeth.com

I have tried them out for the last 2 weeks and am going to tell you my experience!

The first time I used them I didn't notice any difference which was pretty disappointing, but then the second time i used them I could notice the difference and some people at school commented on how white my teeth looked, after the third use I was literally so over the moon with the shade of colour that my teeth were! 

It wasn't an un-natural shade of white it was a very natural flattering shade which is wearing out gradually, but it has been exactly 2 weeks since I first used one and my teeth are still very white!

They are £19.99 for a 2 week supply, or £34.99 for a 4 week supply, or £49.99 for a 6 week supply! Super cheap!

But some for yourself now by clicking the link up there⬆️.

QVS Makeup Brushes Review <3

Heya all! Recently I received some makeup brushes to try and review for you guys! 

  After using the brushes non stop for 2 weeks I think it's safe to say that I'm in love with them! They are mega soft and such good quality! Individual reviews on each brush below!

The bronzer brush - great for lighter complections as its not amazing at contouring but perfect for bronzing up the whole face! 

Perfection brush - great as its double ended! Applies concealer really well and helps to reduce the creasing under my eyes!

Angled blusher brush - fab to apply bronzer with to the cheek bones to get that chizzled and defined look!

Compact powder brush - I love this one as its great to shove in my handbag or school bag as its nice and small and compact for on the go just in case I get a bit oily and need to mattify my face!  

Flat top blusher brush - I don't actually use this brush for blusher *brush rebel* hehe I use it for Bb cream as it makes me have a nice light finish and doesn't make it look like it's been caked on!

Essential eye set - great for traveling and I especially love the brow brush as it defines my brows perfectly and makes them look on fleak!

Brow and lash groomer - a major makeup brush staple! Use this brush everyday and it makeup my brows look very tidy!

These brushes are all available in morrisons, Tesco, asda, and lloyds pharmacy!

They are all such amazing prices (£3-£5)
