Beauty Favourites


Tanya Burr Paradise Eye Palette - Gorgeous drugstore summer palette which will be great for travel.

elf Aqua Rose Gold Liquid Eyeshadow - can be a lovely swish of colour by itself or a great base for other shadows

Benefit Hoola Lite Bronzer - this was in last months favourite too but I have loved this bronzer just as much this month. Great bronzer for pale people like me ;)

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation - Lovely full coverage foundation, love trying old favourites.

Simple Revitalising Roll On Eye Cream - lovely eye cream  perfect for the warm months.


Other Favourites 


Born in Chelsea - It's a great show showing Binky and JP (from Made in Chelsea) journey before and after having their baby India. Its a lovely show 


Love Island - I believe that quite a lot of the country has been watching this show for the last 2 months. Sadly it finished last Monday- but Kem and Amber were deserving winners.

Zoella Beauty Jelly and Gelato Pink Bath Wafers Review


Hi chappes,

I love Zoella Beauty products - so when Zoe said her new range - Jelly and Gelato was coming out I was so excited. So as soon as I saw it in my local Superdrug I had to pick a product up and try it. The product I picked up is the Bath Wafers. 


To start with the packaging is really cute - very summery and beach themed. The packaging for the bath wafer is has lovely pink and peach triangles with a ice cream wafer imprint. 

The 'Jelly and Gelato' scent is very fresh - the main notes are Elderflower and Pomegranate. Personally I wouldn't use the body spray of this scent but its a great smell for a bath bomb. 

What I do love Zoella Beauty is the amount of detail on the products  - the Bath Wafer are a lovely pastel pink with a Z imprint and a wafer in print. There are 2 bath wafers per a pack with a 'Do Not Eat sticker on the inner plastic.

Another thing that intrigued me with this bath fizzes compared the ones in the previous collections was that this was suppose to me moisturising. It actually works it felt bit like King of Skin from Lush when I got of the bath. When I woke up the next morning my skin was so soft like I had put moisturiser on. To be honest I always forget to put moisturiser on after a bath or shower so this is AMAZING as it is a 2 in 1 product.

I would highly recommend this bath wafers and I definitely need to pick up some more of these for the future. As well as more products from the collection.

First Impressions: E.L.F Aqua Beauty - Molten Liquid Eyeshadow Rose Gold


Hi chappes,

I picked up my first elf product the other day - I was so excited. As this was the first time I saw an E.L.F counter - so many new products to try. But I only picked up one this time ;) it was the Aqua Beauty - Molten Liquid Eyeshadow Rose Gold. As I'm loving Rose Gold eyes this season.



The packaging is lovely - it looks quite like a lipgloss/liquid lipstick. The lid is turquoise which is great as it stand out in my collection.
The shade is so nice - its surprisingly  pigmented for the price (its £5). It placed it on the whole lid then blended the edges to soften it and also apply a brown shade to deepen. I had to layer the colour slightly to get the pigment I wanted as I blended a bit too much . It dried quite quickly which is good as you had enough time to blend but when you apply eyeliner the eyeshadow doesn't move.


From my first impression I'm very impressed with this eyeshadow. 

Please comment your favourite E.L.F as I would love to try more. And Please follow.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation



Hi chappes,

Today I wanted to write about an old favourite foundation - the Rimmel Lasting Finis Foundation. I wore this foundation about 3 years ago but i was wearing the complete wrong shade (my orange face shade). Since then I've tried and loved some other foundation. Since then Rimmel have brought out a new lighter shade - Light Porcelain which is great for my pale skin tone. So I wanted to re try this foundation.

The coverage is so good - it claims its a full coverage foundation which I love as I do have a lot of redness. But its a comfort full coverage foundation as some can feel heavy on the face. Personally I can't tell that I have foundation on - that could also be due to be used to wearing full coverage foundation everyday. It was a lovely satin finish - it adds a bit of natural glow which is great especially for the summer. And glory makeup is very in this year.

I've used both a sponge and brush to apply this foundation and it leaves a very similar finish which i like. As some foundation changes by the way its applied -but it still has the coverage.

The shade range is good for the drugstore so good for any skin type.  I have combination skin and its good for all parts of my face It doesn't cling on my dry patches or transfer on any oil parts. 1 downside I have seen that is it can crease slightly on my forehand with any frown lines. If anyone has any tips please comment below.

Overall I would highly recommend this foundation and actually any Rimmel foundations - they are definitely some of my favourite.

Hope you like this post.

My 4 Favourite Summer Lipsticks


Hi chappes,

Sorry I haven't posted for a week I havent been away with no wifi so I havent had the chance to post. But today I wanted to share my 4 favourite summer lipstick - as I do love my lipsticks and they change season to season.



L'Oreal JLO Nude Lipstick - A nice pinky nude colour with a shine, glossy finish. And the pink tones are perfect for summer and match a bronzy summer look.

MAC Paterissie Lustre Lipstick - This is another gorgeous shade with matches bronzy, glory makeup looks. It's a lovely nude shade - as I prefer nude lipstick all year around but especially in the spring summer season.

YSL Rouge Volupte in 47 Lipstick - I love this lipstick for the spring/summer season as its super moisturising lipstick. It has a lovely soft shine finish, and it's something subtle. And a glossy lip doesn't dry out your lips in the sun 

Rimmel Kate Moss Nude 045 - It's my most worn lipstick and it has a lovely colour and formulation. It also has a nice moisturising finish.

Hope you like this post.

Blogosphere Magazine Issue 13 Review


Hi chappes,

Today I wanted to write about the latest issue of the Blogosphere magazine - issue 13. This issue had Louise Pentland on the cover - which is known as being SprinkleofGlitter. 



I do love the Blogosphere magazines and it would be a dream to feature in it. I really like it as its written by bloggers and for people in the blogging community. Its a great way to find new blogs and its also so nice to see bloggers you love and recognise. For example in this months issue PintSizedBeauty was featured.

I have watched Louise Pentland for over 3 years and I was amazing to read an article about her and she looked gorgeous in these photos. This issue also has an article on Caroline Hirons who is like the queen of skincare - I love her blog.

I would highly recommend picking up these issue in your local WH Smith. I love the Blogosphere magazine - love all of them.

Hope you like this post.

Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll-On



Hi chappes,

Today I wanted to write about a eye cream that I've trying recently which is the 'Simple Kind To Eyes Revitalising Eye Roll On'. 



I love Simple as a brand they have such a good skincare products and affordable. The eye roll-on really intrigued me has it promotes itself helping wake up tired eyes. Which I really need at the moment due to school and probably not getting enough sleep.
I love this product - its so refreshing on the eyes in the morning - you roll the product underneath your eye then tap any excess product in.
It contains multi vitamins which is so good and is for sensitive skin as well which is good - as I have sensitive skin so more fro everyone. Even the short time I have been using it I can already see changes - my eyes do look less puffy and it has also helped my makeup not creasing under the eyes which is very good.

I would highly recommend this product - its a great eye cream and so affordable

Hope you like this post.

Soap and Glory The Rushower Scent-Sational Dry Shampoo


Hi chappes,

Today I wanted to write about the 'Soap and Glory The Rushowner Scent-Sational Dry Shampoo' -  I'm a big fan of Soap and Glory and there products.

I picked up this up when it first came out but I don't use dry shampoo very often so I wanted to try it a good amount of times before writing this post. 

To begin with the packaging is very nice - its a perfect size and I'm a big fan of pink. So this packaging is amazing for me.
The dry shampoo states that it has 'touch- release technology' which claims an extra burst of fragrance when you ruffle your hair. This really intrigued me but it actually works. And its great as it smells too good - it has a rose and bergamot scent which is there traditional scent - my favourite S&G scent.

It is very good at absorbing excess oils in your hair as well as adding texture. You shake it first and then spray it to any areas you need and massage it in. It can leave a slight white mark when you spray it but if you massage it in it goes really quickly. As I hate when a dry shampoo releases a white residue and its really hard to remove it or leave white bits in your hair.

Overall I would highly recommend this dry shampoo. A great dry shampoo review website is  http://www.reviews.com/dry-shampoo/

Hope you like this post.

6 Product Summer Makeup Look 2017


Hi chappes,

Today I wanted share my 5 Products Summer Makeup Look - I wrote on last year and it seemed popular. And the products have changed since then as I have new favourites. But this year I couldn't get down to 5 products - but 6 is still very good for me. And I guess this post does include some skincare.


Sometimes in the summer I prefer a quick and simply makeup- but I still like the full coverage. So the products I use are:

L'Oreal Hydra Genius Moisturiser

Revlon Colourstay Foundation

Benefit Hoola Lite Bronzer

Benefit Gimme Brow

L'Oreal Paris Miss Baby Roll Mascara 

This makeup look is very simple - great for everyday. And this also its great for when you are in hurry which is me most mornings at the moment.

Hope you like this post.

First Impression: Tanya Burr Cosmetics My Paradise Palette


Hi chappes,

Sorry there wasn't a post yesterday - it was a family day as well as I wasn't well. Today I wanted to write my first impressions on the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Paradise Palette .


For a start - the packaging is gorgeous with the rose gold, copper box. A silver trim and its got pineapples on it - its so cute. And on the back of the palette it has a little note form Tanya and her application tips which are quite useful.


The palette as 4 shades:
Champagne Cocktail - a lovely light rosy champagne colour. Which is a great base shade or inner corner.
Tranquility - I love this shade, its a rose gold with more red tone. 
Miami Sunrise - Its a shimmery bronze with light pinky, gold tones.
Hammock - Is a matte brown - perfect transitional shade. And you can  use it to darker the crease slightly.


The pigmentation is good for a drugstore palette - some of the shades I needed a few more layers of product to get the pigmentation I would have liked. But they are really blendable and you can create a gorgeous summer look.

I really like this palette and definitely use this palette throughout the summer especially on holiday.

Hope you like this post.
