Bath Collection | Whats In My Bath/Body Box?




Hey lovelies

I've been wanting to do a post like this for ages, and this has been waiting to be done in ages too! (If that made sense!). I posted my Youtube video up yesterday showing you my Bath/Body collection and I hope you all enjoyed! I always do matching blog posts to my Youtube videos so here is a few pictures of what I have in my collection. 
Please note that the pictures were taken outside because the daylight is a bit non existent at the moment so this was an opportunity to get a few quick snaps, sorry if the photos are a bit bad but its the best I could do! I also froze my fingers off trying to do this so I hope its okay!

I wont go massively into detail about them giving full reviews but I will tell you what I like/dislike, if I would buy again and a rate out of 10. Ill also tell you a little bit about what i think but if you do want a review then please feel free to tweet or ask me questions on ask fm and ill happily reply and tell you when I'll be doing a review.

 Soap and Glory collection; 
I really enjoy using soap and glory. I love the scent and I really like the way they stick to 'what it says on the tin'. Most of the things I've purchased are great and the prices are at a good level where you can buy some with 'pocket money' or if you've saved up to buy. I do actually have a video and blog post soon with my Soap and Glory best and worst, so I'll go into detail then, but as you can see by the photos, these are the Soap and Glory items I own so far, this will probably soon change as I need to get a bigger collection!
I like these, I would buy more S&G products again, rate out of 10 would have to be 10/10 or 9/10 on some products.


 Tesco 'Wake Up' Range
I own all of these, apart from 2 scents. I will pick up the other 2 scents when im next in store. I do like the scent of these shower gel's but I dont use them all the time. I've used each scent about twice and they're great for mornings or just as a 'go-to' quick fix product, but I wouldnt say they're a luxury item or something really enjoyable to use. I really do like them and the scents are really citrus, they're £1.10 and the 'Original source' ones are only £1 the last time I looked, so maybe I wouldnt buy them again and I would try Original source items.
I like them, I would try some more shower gels then come back to these another time, 8/10.


 Possibility range
I got these last Christmas as a stocking filler type present. I always wanted the 'Philosophy' range but they're just soooo expensive! They're like £26 for the exact same thing! Mum saw these in Savers and I got them at Christmas. I really like the Raspberry Pavlova one, its really scented and I still need to try the recipe out! The ginger snap cookie one really isnt scented so for £1 I would just get the red one and forget the brown color one.
I think theyre okayish, I would buy the red one again and I give it 7.5/10


 Jergens Extra Moisture and Cellulite cream
I got these as a freebie offline. When I recieved them I was really made up just because they were full sized and I always saw them in Supermarkets and things, I actually wanted to see what they were like. I got them and I was sooooo dissapointed! They didnt do anything! I dont have any cellulite.. I dont think.. but the Extra Moisture one was completely useless! I dont quite know what the prices are so you might have to check that out online, but I think theyre £2.50/£3 +. I wouldnt waste my money!
I didnt like them, I wouldnt buy again, I give it 4/10.

 Skinology face scrub and Face wash
Useless. Dont like the scrub and the face wash makes me sooo oily! Really dislike. These were £1 each from Wilko and I would NOT buy again. The scrub is overly gentle and if you have really bad blackheads this wouldnt do anything to help your skin out. Id rather save my £1 than waste it on products that dont do what they say. 
Didnt like, Wouldnt buy again.. 4/10

 Baylis and Harding
I have these in the Mandarin scent and the Rasperry leaf scent. I really enjoyed using these, Im near to the end of the pink one and I've finished the yellow one, so you'll see an empties! exclusive!
These smell so lovely and foam up really nice aswell. They have different scents that arnt overpowering but they leave the scent on your skin after the bath/shower anyway.

Loved using these, its a shame they're nearly/are empty! Would buy again, if I find it! 10/10

So I hoped you enjoyed my mini reviews and my collection! I dont do any 'Collection' type posts or videos so it was fun to do this, although it took me centuries to get everything out and back in the box, lol! If you would like to see the 'Bath Box' I use and what i keep everything in, please visit here - ( Click me! ) -this picture I linked is NOT mine, I'm just using it as an example-.
The box cost me £60 a few years back, it came with some S&G items which made me want to start a collection!

Glamour Magazine | Freebie | Nails Inc






Hey lovelies

As you ALL must know, Nails Inc were doing a freebie in Glamour Magazine UK this month! (November issue) and is it me or have ALL the Youtubers and Bloggers been going crazy over this freebie?! I think its a good freebie, purely because Nails Inc doesnt quite 'tickle my fancy' and to get a free one before Christmas is great, just to decide if I would actually buy this for myself for a whole price of £11.
I dont think I would pay £11 for Nails Inc, I have two other nail polishes from them, they were also free with Fabulous magazine a while back. 
They had an option of Red, Black, Glitter and a nude color. The other colors were nice but I thought this one stood out the most. 
I wasnt actually going to get the Glamour magazine with the nail polish because I dont really collect magazines (although I have now told myself I'm going to collect Glamour mag) but after visiting ASDA very early on Saturday morning to get some christmas goodies, I thought why not, and picked it up.
I havent actually read the magazine yet, or tried out the nail polish, so I will be having a read tomorrow or the next day and sometime this week I will be trying out the nail polish with a NOTW post.
The glitter looks really pretty BUT on other people's blogs it looks very sparse glitter. This is why I wouldnt pay £11 because its sparse glitter whereas the £3 Barry M glitter and the £2 NYC glitter arnt sparse, they're very big particles. 
I'll have to try this to properly review it, but all I know is that is gold glitter and they're sparse, I'll paint them soon and keep you updated with a proper review!
Ill post the review sometime this week because this magazine wont last forever because its monthly.

Have you all bought this? What one did you buy?

Tag | Why Do You Wear Makeup

-photo is courtesy of weheartit.com although I personally edited the photo, I will take it down if it belongs to you-

Hey lovelies
I like doing these tag videos/blog posts because they're quick and simple but they let you guys get to know me a bit more with some questions. I do a lot of them, a few too many maybe but I enjoy doing them and I hope you do too! 
So as normal, Ill answer the questions to the tag, just like I did in my video to the tag which got a few dislikes :-( but you can view here ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh08S4GSkZE&feature=plcp


♥ When Did You Begin Loving Makeup;
I began loving makeup in Primary school. I never used to be girly, I always used to wear scruffy clothes with no interest in makeup! I used to love Barbies and dressing up and dolls etc, but I had no interest in Makeup. I used to love all the pretty colors in eyeshadow sets and stuff but I never used to apply them! In primary school I had 3 bestfriends who loved makeup and they always used to get their sister to apply their makeup and stuff, I didnt! Then in Year6 I always wore mascara, maybe because I wanted to be cool, haha. Then in year 7 I used to wear more. I didnt know how to apply it properly haha, it used to be so smudged! Im glad I didnt wear it when I was younger though.


♥ How do you feel without makeup;
Just..normal? I dont feel any different! At home i feel normal with or without, I dont mind wearing none although I dont like going out without any because I like to feel my best and look presentable.


♥ What do you like about makeup;
I like how you can make friends, chat about it, blog, youtube! So many options, its a great hobby. It can get you a really good job too, I'd love to be a makeup artist.


 Three holy grail items;
Eyeliner/mascara. I only have 2!

I hope you enjoyed this tag and leave your comments below telling me your answers, I'd love to know!

Tag | Would You Rather

-photo is courtesy of weheartit.com although I personally edited the photo I will take it down if it belongs to you-

Hey lovelies

So I have a new thing going on, on my blog! I'm trying to change things up so they look a bit better. I've already had a play about with the tabs and stuff, I just hope I can get my blog sorted soon enough, but because I'm not good at all of this, its a bit difficult! Google is always there though, ay;)

I've decided to do a post on my tag from Youtube yesterday. Its the 'would you rather tag' and I just thought this would be good as a lighthearted post, and a bit of a quick one! I hope you all enjoyed bonfire night and Halloween, I havent really mentioned any of that in recent posts, oops! 

So I'll get on with the Q & A's of the tag, I do have a tendency to ramble hahahaha!

Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipglosses and lipsticks or all of your eyeshadows and palettes?
Eyeshadows and palettes! I love them but, Main reason is, is because I could live without eyeshadows because to me personally, I do not find them essental. Whereas mascara and eyeliner is a daily essential! 

♥ Would you rather chop all your hair or never cut it again?

Never cut it again! Because you can always get rid of the split ends with product hopefully.. but I havent cut my hair since February and it seems to be okay. But, cutting all my hair.. I'd never do that again!

♥ Coral or Pink cheek?

I dont really wear blushers, I need to try and buy some more. Maybe pink. I dont think coral will look okay.

♥ If you had £1000 - clothes or makeup?

£500 on clothes, £500 on makeup;)? I dont know! Maybe makeup.

♥Lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick.

Pencil eyeliner as lipliner and fill it in? ..Eyeliner as a lipstick!

♥Shop at MAC or sephora for the rest of your life?

MAC, we dont have Sephora.

♥ Use one eyeshadow color or one lipcolor forever?

One lipcolor.

♥Wear summer clothes in winter or winter clothes on summer?

Summer clothes in winter. i dont get cold.

♥Dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Bright! I dont paint them according to seasons anyway.

♥Give up fave lip or eye product?

Give up fave lip product!

♥Only wear hair in ponytail or messy bun?

Messy bun! I dont think I suit ponytails.

♥Never paint nails again or use lipgloss?

I like painting my nails, I hardly use lipgloss! I like lipsticks.

♥Shave eyebrows or sharpie them in?

Sharpie them in. Id look mad without eyebrows?! 

♥Live without nail polish or makeup?

Nail polish. It doesnt change your appearance, its just something I like to do. Couldnt give up makeup!

So I hope you all enjoyed this small tag, I hope to find out what you guys answer to this so you can always comment below with your answers if you like, I'd love to know! Have a great day!

3D Lips

Hey Lovelies!



So recently on my Youtube I tried to create glossy, red lips.
I think they look ok-ish but I could have done better! 
You only need two lipsticks.. I used MUA shade 13 and Coral In Gold by Rimmel.
I applied a light red lipliner all round my lipline first, then applied the red lipstick to my outer lip. I then applied the same to the top outer lip. In the center I applied the coral In gold. Its simple but you could achieve this look better by using more matte lipsticks. Its really simple, go on my Youtube channel to find out  more and watch a tutorial.
Lots of love,

Autumn Inspired Look!





 Hey Lovelies!
So on my Youtube yesterday I created this look. Im sorry the camera was a bit wonky here & there but that was my first tutorial and I really wanted to do one, so the next thing I'll practise is my camera skills..
I thought it would be good to upload the pictures onto here etc, so you can have a really detailed look or whatever.
So Ill list the products I used and how I easily did the look! Hope you all enjoyed it, I was so nervous haha.

  • I thought all the colors used were great for autumn, I love shimmery browns and matte black eyeliner and im getting the hang of the 'winged look' now too!
  • Grey or white looks great in the inner corner of your eye as it makes them look slightly wider.
  • I used two eyeliners, MUA for the thinner line which is on the inner corner and then the Beauty Base one which has a slightly thicker wand for creating a double line, which leads outward for the wing.
  • I used the cats eyes mascara as it makes the lashes un-clumpy and has the perfect wand.
  • For the base, I used Maybelline Tattoo in On-And-Bronzed. This is great solo or great to build up.
  • For the grey color, you can use anything but I used the 'Zero Gravity' quad by Beauty Base - LA color.
  • For the outer part of my eye, I used the Rimmel Eyeshadows from savers. I used 103 Rock Star.
So yeah.. I hope that this look was a good enough one for my first tutorial. Im quite confident now, I've planned my next one, I just hope its not too bad! Haha!
Lots of love..

Halloween Week! ..Cat Inspired Look.






Hey lovelies!
So its Halloween week and all week ive been putting up blog posts and videos of makeup thats good for Halloween.
I've put some Halloween colors to use and created an extra simple look.
I think it looks quite okay, and I'll be using this on Wednesday to answer the door!


  • So I used a dark shimmery grey for the eyeshadow. This is just out of a gift set and doesnt cost a lot so I think thats best if you're not going to use it again. I just used a fluffy brush and packed on to the lid.
  • The good thing about Halloween makeup is that you dont have to worry if things dont look right. For Halloween, things just fit into place.
  • I used the eyeliners pictured above to create a small, thick cats eye. I'm not amazing at cats eye but this looks okay!
  • Then I didnt apply eyeliner into the inner corners, I just defined the outer corners. 
  • Then I didnt use false lashes but you could if you wanted to!
  • Then for the whiskars all you need is liquid eyeliner and apply it the same as I did! This look is so easy.
  • I applied some bronzer to my non existing cheekbones.
  • I then applied shade 13 MUA lipstick which is essential for this look! You could also apply hot pink or barbie pink.
So I hope you enjoyed this inspired look!
Happy Halloween..


My Week In Photo's


Hey Lovelies!
So its Sunday again and I havent done much this week, to be honest. I've still managed to cram some photo's in for this week's 'My Week In Photos' but I've been so bored! 
Although I've had nothing to do, I have noticed the cold weather and winter/autumn'ness haha! -if thats a word-.

  • On Monday I saw this beautiful sunset. Recently I've been noticing the sunsets a lot often, we actually get them now, we never used to? The sky always looks so pretty and I always manage to take a picture! -I must have about 25 in my laptop haha!-
  • On Tuesday I recreated this cat look for Youtube, its been posted today so remember to check it out! -the post will be posted tomorrow-. It was pretty easy and good fun to do!
  • On Wednesday I did my nails, I didnt do a post on these because I didnt use a new nail polish or whatever. I know, I know.. I havent done a 'Nails Of The Week' in ages! -I cant buy nail polish at the moment, Christmas is coming!-
  • On Thursday I went out to walk the dog during the day and I wore my new jacket. Its from New Look - £35 and is just amazing. Its so warm and you really get into the Winter spirit with a fur jacket! Its faux, ofcourse!
  • On Friday I went out into the Garden to observe the mess, in Winter the garden always looks a tip! I did notice these beautiful leaves though, isnt Autumn so pretty?!
  • On Saturday my Jewelerry set came! As you all should know I have an Etsy shop and I make my own jewelerry. 
  • On Sunday, Just now! I went back outside and the leaves have changed on the grass! I wont be doing much today so there wasnt anything to post!
Hope you've all had a good weekend and all enjoy your Sunday!
What have you been doing this week?
Lots of love..

Halloween Week! ..Lipsticks For Halloween.






Hey lovelies!
So its still Halloween week and this is the lips section!
I thought it would be good to add to the previous posts I've done this week and add lips to the little collection! 
So Its Halloween week and the next post is for 'Halloween Lips'!
Lips arnt overly important but they will add a lot of color to the face! Oranges, Reds, Blacks etc are all perfect for the lips.
If you arnt going as something scary, I have the PERFECT pink for a fairy or cat look!
  • The chit chat one is hard to explain. Its not really red but its a bit of a pink shade..
  • The orange lipgloss is from Primark. I dont normally wear this because the taste/smell is awful, its like washing up liquid. But its not overly bright and is good for '3D lips'. Its about £1!
  • Lipstick shade 13 is great from MUA. Its bold, bright and quite smooth, slightly matte. Great for a cat face!
  • 210 from Rimmel 'coral in gold' is great! Goes well with the orange lipgloss, and if built up it can be bright.
  • Red lipliner is essential!
  • Purple or berry colors are pretty
I hope you like these! 
Happy Halloween..

Halloween Week! ..Good Eyemakeup For Halloween.


















Hey lovelies..
So I thought I would post good eyemakeup brands and products for Halloween. You can use anything but I just thought I would post good ideas that voloumise and add big bold color.
You want lots of color on your eyes so here are some dazzle dusts/ eye dusts that are great for color;
  • Collection 2000's range of eye dusts. They're great for bright color but you do need to apply a lot for a matte, bold color. They're very sheer when they're applied, so you need to apply with a thick applicator, not a eye brush. Jaffa, Spellbound and Enigma are the shades and you get these from Savers. I think they're discontinued in Boots, Superdrug etc.
  • Primark dazzledusts (the small round pots) are amazing! They were £1 for all of them and I thought I would test them out.. I dont use them all the time but they add a huge 'pop of color' when you use them. 
  • MUA eye dusts. These are ok-ish but they dont apply as good as the Primark ones. They're shimmery eyeshadows in my opinion. I prefer the purple one to the green one.
  • The LA Color quad is good for a dark smoky look, its good if you want to look scary! You just have to build the color up.
  • Rimmel 'Stir It Up' is amazing! I love this and it was £1 in Savers. Its quite creamy, I love it.
Eyeliner is an essential if you're going as a cat! So MUA is great for flicks, wings and cat eye.
I love using the mascara's pictured above because the 'Cats Eye' one is great for winging eyelashes out. Primark lashes are also cheap and effective!

So I hope this was somewhat helpful! I'd love to see everyone's makeup looks for Halloween! Post below!

Happy Halloween..
