Nail polish! cant go a day without purchasing!

OhSohoSweet...

Its a lovely nude, I have no shades like this..


Zofias been shopping!

Mmmm.. gorgeous!
So, thats a lot of photos!
I went to Stamford today, which is like 12 minutes away from me and they have a few shops there like Wilko, M&S, Superdrug, Savers, Boots etc so we just walk the dog there for the meadows and I had some money to spend so we walked up to the shops. Its only a small little place - google?! - but I enjoy it more than Peterborough.. where I live.
So ill guide you through what I bought and then later on when I use the things ill review them a little bit more.
  • Start off in the list order. I bought myself a necklace as I dont have many, I have more earrings than necklaces and I thought this was super pretty! Its a bronzy gold color and is on a thin chain. Its got some pretty hearts hanging off an O shape and these are all different patterns. This would go with pretty much everything and for £2 rather than £5 i thought it was a bargain! I got this from Superdrug!
  • I then bought a flannel, this is an essential because I needed a new one, they need changing every now and again! So this was about 33p from Wilko, I dont really mind about the cheap price tag, it does its job haha! I got this in a Fushia pink, its lovely & soft.
  • From Savers, for £1, I got the new Charlie spray, this is in 'Enchant' the bottle design drew me in and I think its really pretty with the pastel blue color. Ive sprayed this a little bit to smell it, but Ill do a separate review on this. Its in its normal bottle ml and says it contains 'honeysuckle, wild apple and coconut'.
  • I then got myself a new shampoo to try out seeing as my Garnier Fructis shampoo has run out, review here-  http://resterbellex.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/okay-so-this-is-bit-of-different-post-i.html - plus, I hate buildup so I love to change. This is Lychee & Coconut. Well, Ill review this in a new post but.. I have no idea what Lychee is, haha. I love coconut at the moment, so I bought this. £1 from Savers.
  • Everytime I go shopping/out I always pick up a nail polish! I have a reasonably large collection so I think a sortout is in order! This is another NYC nail polish, Ive never bothered with them before but I have 3 now and I love NYC! This is in OhSohoSweet and is a very plain nude color that ive been wanting for a while so for £2, you cant complain! Ill also review this soon!
So, I got quite a lot, I wonder if you've tried any of these?
Lots of love..

Soap&Glory Clean On Me Review

I love the product packaging!

Clean on me..

The pump is really handy.
Hi guys! So, ive found something to post! Ive been a bit quiet on here lately, just because ive been on YouTube etc.
This is a product ive been using recently, so I thought I would just review it.
I like the way it has a pump, so you get the right amount out, not just pouring it on. I like the fact its bottle/container whatever its called, is a big quantity for the price.. available at boots -  http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory-Clean-On-Me-Creamy-Clarifying-Shower-Gel-500ml_27846/ - its £5.50 so I think this is an amazing price although I got it in the £60 box.
I love the smell! Its typical Soap&Glory infused and I just love it! If someone said 'what does it smell like?' I couldn't actually explain because Soap & Glory has that certain smell?! Im weird..
It says its made with Mandarin peel extract but, doesn't say what else.. 
Its very creamy and lathers on the body well.
I apply it to the body with a flannel or a net and rub in well. I can still smell it on my body when I get out and apply Soap&Glory moisturizer!
Theres nothing that I dont like, its great for price and great for everyday use!
Just thought I would tell you what I thought of it, since ive been using it.
Lots of love..

July Favourites

My July favourites, this months gone super fast!

The No7 primer swatch.

Great for the price..

The first left color..

..second one left - the last one..
Hello! ..again!
So this post is about my July favourites. I recorded this video and re-recorded this video on YouTube earlier in the week, so the video is done but I thought I would add a post to here telling you all my favourites too. I like to add to both.
My July faves consist of things I use in summer or have recently been using.
My summer faves consist of;

  • LA colors palette. This is from Beauty Base in Westfield-Shepards Bush. It was 98p I think, but dont take my word for it.. I got it a while back! As you can see from the swatches, its really pigmented and for near £1 people might look and think 'its cheap, its rubbish' but looking at the swatches, I hope its changed your mind because although its cheap, its still really good. I would use this a lot in the sunny/warm weather because its bronzy shades would really suit the sun and they're very shimmery so its a bonus. It come with an applicator which really pacts on the color. Then, using a blending brush, you could really achieve a nice summery, daytime, smoky look using light/dark bronzes.
  • My next fave is the Cats Eyes Colossal mascara from Maybelline. I love this and love the applicator. As I said on my YouTube video, it really curls the lashes without an eyelash curler (which Ive never used and never plan to). Its lasted a long while, had it since Christmas 2011. I think its great for the summer because it defines eyes and sets fast so its not liquid form when you're out and about. I love the packaging. I use this alot and its always applied on me so I would totally buy again.. I love all Maybelline mascaras. This was about £8.
  • No7 shine free primer is the next one. Im mixed opinioned on this because its good, keeps me matte for like 30 mins and then i get oily, I prefer to use loose powder now, but I might try using loose powder with this as I havent yet. I like this, thats why its in my faves but sometimes it can leave white lines if it not blended enough. This can happen when it dries on the face too. Id only get this again if I got the no7 vouchers, like how I purchased it before. Its good for summer as it should keep most people matt and not oily skinned. Its £11 to buy.
  • Next is Next's Just Pink lipbalm. Ive used half of this since Christmas 2012, an old friend got me it and I really like it. It came with the rollerball Just Pink perfume and it smells lovely. I dont know how much this is and should be in there winter time, unless they stock it all year. Its good to keep lips moist and is a good alternative to heavy lipstick or a thick lipgloss.
  • Ive already reviewed the So...? Brit spray before so, Im not really going to go on about it because its a bit boring to keep repeating. But, I love this because its good for out-and-about to keep fresh. Its also really fresh&fruity and i would buy it again! £1 from Boots, Tesco etc.
  • Garnier Fructis shampoo..mm! This is great. I got this a few weeks back and use it for every wash. It keeps my hair going until it gets oily (which is really fast, every other day) and it smells a bit plain..like apples.. but its really good and keeps hair shiny so Im not moaning about the smell! It didnt make my hair glossy or anything but it did make straightening easy, seeing as this takes a while.. Id probably buy this again, after a few weeks. (I dont like buildup!)
  • Last one.. best till last! I love this! If I didnt like saving things and keeping things for ages, this would be gone within 2 weeks! Its amazing, the smells amazing, the consistency is amazing.. just.. amazing! Beauty Base is where I got it, I think it was 98p and I said this on Youtube but looking back, I think it was £1.75.. I really cant remember. But, under running water it foams up so fast and you can smell it really well too. Its good as a shower gel or just to apply to skin in the bath. You can smell it afterwards on your skin too, I just LOVE the coconut smell of it! Definately going to buy this again. (Daaaaaad! *angel face*)
So yeah, they're my July favourites and I cant believe how fast this year is going. Only seems like last month it was snowing and I was getting the Christmas tree ready! I feel so old haha!
What things did you like in July?! Post below if you like, id love to know!
Lots of love..

Ginger Snap Bath Foam Review

I used this the other day and thought I would just post it and give my thoughts on it. I like it, it foams up well and was about £2 from a shop called 'Savers' which I shop at quite a lot, I got this for Christmas. It doesnt smell very much because its 'Ginger Snap' but its good for a quick bath.    Lots of love! Zofia xxx

Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel Review

I used this the other day, because I got it as a free sample from Covent Garden Body Shop and I really loved the smell. 
I used it and was really happy with how it came out. It lathered really well on the skin although, I couldnt smell it on my skin when I got out the bath and it didnt really seem to make a difference. But, while I was in the bath, it was nice. I probably would buy this from the shops, if I had money spare!

Saturday 21 July 2012

Hello again! Posting a lot this evening, I need to get everything done!
So, I used this on Tuesday before I went for a little walk with Mum, I didnt buy this, Dad got given it from a friend at work a few weeks ago, so, I thought id try it as I've wanted to try some Sanctury products for a while!
This is the Sanctury Foaming Bath Soak. It smells gorgeous and I thought it was pretty good. 
Its a smallish bottle, probably wont last long. I've used it once and its halfway down already so, maybe 3 uses. 250ml for £5 from Boots it costs, which, I dont think this is very good but I suppose for a 'good brand' its worth it.
If you wanted to try it, 75ml for £2 in some stores which is quite good, instead of wasting a big bottle if you didn't like it.
Now, moving on to what I actually thought of it, I didnt really like it or recommend it. It smells lovely but doesnt really foam up in the bath or whatever, so you might just use it as a Body Wash etc, because it doesnt really 'foam' unless you use the whole bottle..
I dont think this is worth it, but maybe your opinions may differ.
I wouldnt really buy this from the shop, but it was a bargain anyway!
Lots of Love, xxx

Friday 29 June 2012

Okay, so, I havent posted today because I thought id have a bit of a break and stuff, and, I havent posted on YouTube either.. things to come tomorrow. 
I tried this out on Tuesday and I really liked it. 
I got it two Christmases ago, but only used it twice. The smell is gorgeous! Wild Rose & Raspberry Leaf. 
Its a different scent, never heard of Raspberry Leaf before, but, its noticeable in the smell. It foamed up so well and lasted around 20 minutes. I dont like my bath bubbly so I didnt add a lot. This was the perfect amount being run under cold water.
Its like the other Baylis&Harding Bath Foam I reviewed, this one is a little thicker though. 
I could smell it on my skin when I got out of the bath, which is good.
Thought id tell you all about this, I dont know how much this is, but, I know it was from ASDA. 
Lots of Love, Zofia xxx

Monday 25 June 2012

Hello everyone! Not posted in a bit, I haven't been spending and there isn't much to review or to tutorial because I've been pestering dad for the new camera for YouTube.
But, on Friday, I did go to Tesco to food shop. I come across this in the Toiletries isle. Finally! I've been wanting something of Baylis & Harding for AGES! I have a few products of there's, but this is one that I've been looking for, and not seemed to find.
So when I got it, it was on offer from £5.70 to £1.75..amazing! I picked it up and couldn't wait to try it.
Today is Sunday and I've tested it out! I think its excellent, well, it is B&H!
I added it to my bath while I had the shower head running. It foamed up straight away, and I could smell it being added the the bath! Lovely! It foams perfectly and you dont need to add a big amount soon as you have the bath running, add it gradually.
It smells SO fruity! Its called 'Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit'. Its a very strong smell, but not heavy. Its very light and refreshing and smells a lot like Mandarin. 
The liquid is very thin and I didn't actually expect that. I thought it was going to be a very thick liquid, but its more like a watery base! 
For 750ml you might use this up in about 2/3 months depending on how many days a week you use it. I wont use it everyday, so it will probably be gone in around 3 months. You don't need to add TOO much, just about.. a cap full. And as you can see, the cap is actually a good amount.
It foams quick with a fast running tap, but doesn't last longer than 20 mins in water. This is probably because I had shampoo and soap added to the bath. 
It has a very nice shaped bottle too. Appearance matters to me and I like the way this looks. It has a frosted like-look to the bottle, its not clear plastic. It obviously has the recognizable logo, which stood out in the shop! Its very basic, but nice. 
A perfect smell for summer! (We provide the bath foam, If England provides the sun!)
Lots of Love, Zofia xxx
