SKINCARE - SHOWER & BATH PRODUCTS

Hey beauties! Here are some fabulously scented products I have discovered at bargain prices for you to enjoy in the bath or shower.

NIVEA CREME COCONUT SHOWER CREAM

I picked this up in the 99p Store and OMG it smells divine. Coconut fans rejoice as this gorgeously scented shower cream smoothes over your body.

NIVEA HARMONY TIME SHOWER CREAM

I believe my friend gave this to me in a gift set for my birthday, but they also sell it in Poundland linked above. I don't usually like rose scents, but this product has a very creamy, baby soft smell.

I love Nivea skincare. It's a brand I would use time and time again. These shower creams feel lovely and moisturising on the skin.

RADOX NOURISH SHOWER CREAM

This shower cream feels nice on the skin. This has a slight spice scent with the ginger, but it's not strong and overpowering. I picked this up in my Tesco garage, but it's reduced at the moment to £1 in Boots.

CUSSONS CAREX STRAWBERRY FUN SHOWER & BATH

The scent of this product is amazing. If you like strawberry scents you will want to eat yourself after using this product.

DISNEY FROZEN BATH & SHOWER BUBBLES

To be honest I saw this in the baby section and couldn't resist trying it out. I love Frozen and so why not.

Both of these products were from the 99p Store. They cleansed my skin well and added a bit of moisture, but perhaps not as much as the Nivea products. These can be used for the bath too.

I hope you find something here you like to enjoy pampering yourself or just for fun to make you smile. At these bargain prices why not!

Love to you all

NAILS: POLISH REMOVAL & SETTING SPRAY

Hi everyone. I know it's Monday, but chin up cherubs. I have two products to talk about today for your nails.

PRIMARK BEAUTY NAIL POLISH REMOVER WIPES

I was given a few pots of these nail polish remover wipes one year at Xmas and I had forgotten I had them. Rediscovering these beauties has made nail polish removal less of a task. They are so quick to use compared to tipping polish remover onto a cotton pad and I do use less pads even with bold reds that I find spread everywhere when removing. These wipes do not stop the polish spreading, but the formula which feels like it has a slightly oil base means this method is easy, quick and almost conditioning. I find the scent of them quite addictive too. The handy pot they come in would be perfect for travel as they are a 2 in 1 compact product with no spillage disasters. I could not tell you if these are still available, but if they are I would definitely recommend.

PRETTY PERFECT NAIL DRYING SPRAY

I usually use the Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray if I am not painting on a top coat, but I was in Poundland one day and thought for £1.00 this would be worth a try. First off let me say that although not totally unpleasant the scent of this product is pretty potent. The mist from the spray spreads quite a bit too so either be near a window or go outside to use this. So does it work? My nails are less tacky than before using it, but not completely dry. This spray says it's suitable for most types of nail varnish so I am not sure what types they are? I have used this on many brands, but the result is always the same. Within a day or two the chipping starts. Although generally speaking I think most varnish top coats will make your polish last longer than a nail drying spray, but I definitely would recommend the Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray over this. I have reviewed that product here.

If you have any favourite nail polish top coats, bases, setting sprays or anything else then let me know with reasons why in the comments below. Also if you have any tips for yellow stained nails let me know that too as I always wear a base coat or leave my nails without any polish at all for weeks on end and they are still yellow :(

Love to you all

HOT CROSS BUN PASTEL SPRING EASTER NAILS

Hello again lovelies. I painted my nails yesterday feeling inspired by spring and Easter time and here they are.

Please excuse this not so in focus photo. Pastel shades always make a comeback at this time of year and so I wanted to include a mixture of them in this manicure. I thought the nude shade would be perfect to use under my hot cross bun stripes which my boyfriend pointed out should be vertical and horizontal, but oh well I think that's just being picky, ha ha. I wanted my nails to have a sprinkle of glitter too for a speckled effect. As these shades were quite milky I applied three coats of each for a dense colour pay off after my base coat. I used a white striper for the hot cross bun stripes and finished off with a nail drying spray.

Products Used:

ALESSANDRO PRO WHITE ORIGINAL

INGLOT 337 NAIL ENAMEL

MUA NAIL POLISH PISTACHIO ICE CREAM

STARGAZER 501 NAIL POLISH

2TRUE FAST DRY NAIL POLISH SHADE 15

BARRY M NP 318 PEACH MELBA

E.L.F. NAIL POLISH TWINKLE

STARGAZER NAIL ART PEN WHITE

PRETTY PERFECT NAIL DRYING SPRAY

It looks as though the E.L.F. and StarGazer polishes may have been discontinued, but hopefully you can find them on Ebay or Amazon. Alternatively you can use similar a similar nude and shimmer to recreate this look. The StarGazer striper I purchased a long time ago in a set so I would search online for that too as I think you can also buy them individually.

If you have created any spring time and/or Easter inspired nails please leave links in the comments below.

Mother's Day Gift Hamper DIY

Hi there sweeties. Thank goodness for Friday eh? I was racking my brains of what to get my Mum for Mother's Day this Sunday and then I thought why not buy her the little things she loves and do the things for her that she appreciates. 

My Mum does have a sweet tooth so I have included lots of chocolate goodness in this hamper. There are also some flowers for her garden which she likes spending time in. The hair dye she uses is in the hamper also as well as one of my Nails Inc. nail polishes that she loves. There is a card in there too which has slid down at the back.

I am going to make her lunch on Sunday, paint her nails and dye her hair. She has looked after me for many years so she should be pampered on Mother's Day.

I think the box will be great to store things in too. Excuse the cellophane wrapping and sellotape, but I have never used it before so I did my best :)

Card & Bow ~ Card Factory

Cellophane ~ Ryman

Box ~ Store Twenty One

Hair Dye ~ Superdrug

Nails Inc. Polish ~ Gifted from me

All other items ~ Poundland & 99p Store

So what do you think of this hamper idea for Mother's Day? Do you think it's something your Mum would like? Let me know your thoughts and other present ideas in the comments below.

Love to you all

Shimmer After Your Shower

Hi lovelies. How are you today? I have some more beauty product reviews for you. To find out more keep on reading .........

Cussons Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Nourishing Shower Cream ~ Different sizes available at Superdrug

This product contains green tea, rice milk and jasmine. It does feel very creamy and give a good lather on the skin. The scent is very gentle and baby soft. The writing was already partially rubbed of when given to me as a Xmas gift so this did not happen from me using it.

Cussons Imperial Leather Soft Touch Moisturising Shower Cream ~ Different sizes available at Superdrug

This one contains jojoba milk and vitamin e. It again was very mild and creamy giving a good lather. The scent is very gentle once again. This was also a Xmas gift.

I went through these really quickly as I must admit I love to be very generous with shower gels and creams. The hole at the top tends to dispense a little too much product also though too. Unless you are lucky enough to find these particular scents in the pound shops here is a link to the Imperial Leather Hawaiian Spa Shower Gel at Poundland which sounds like a lovely exotic scent.

Katie Price Precious Love Shimmer Body Lotion

My friend gave this to me which I believe she was given as a gift in a set with the perfume. I don't mind a bit of shimmer in some body creams, especially if I am heading out and want a little something to emphasise areas of my skin. Well let me to you this will not emphasise, but cover your body like a disco ball. This cream has silver shimmer and is packed with the stuff. It is not subtle in any way. I'm a girl who loves shimmer, sparkle and glitter, but this is just too much. If you do want to try it however then I would head to Ebay or Amazon.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR Multi-Usage Dry Oil Golden Shimmer ~ £21.00 for 50ml

I received this bottle in my February 2012 Feelunique Beauty Box. I have linked to feelunique.com above, but this product is also available at M&S for the same price. It is meant for use on the face, body and hair. Now I love a mulit-tasker, but this product I reserved solely for use on my body. This does have a gorgeous golden shimmer which really warms up the skin tone. I love how the shimmer catches the light as you move. I don't really like the idea of this much shimmer on my face and because it's an oil I would only use it at night anyway. It may look okay in some peoples hair, but oils tend to way my hair down so I only use them on my ends at night knowing I can wash it out the next day. As you can see there are still a lot of shimmer particles left in the bottle. Towards the end it started to become less oil and more shimmer which although pretty did become too much. I did really enjoy using the Nuxe oil without the shimmer which you can find a review of here.

Do you love to shimmer? Let me know your favourite oils with or without shimmer in the comments below.

Favourites: 2013 Skincare & Nail Product

Hi there sweeties and happy Thursday! Today I have the last of my 2013 favourites posts for you. Here are my favourite 2013 skincare products with a nail product included.

I don't have all of the products at the moment so this photo only includes the ones I do. I will however include links to posts where I have previously reviewed and shown the products.

Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm For Lips

I usually prefer twist up tube lip balms as they are easy to use on the go and less messy. This product however was my top 2013 lip saviour. My lips are prone to drying, cracking, peeling, splitting etc. To see my full review check out this link.

RANA Argan Oil

I love using facial oils at night. They really feel like they moisturise and pamper my skin more deeply than most creams, but are too slippery for the day when I apply my make-up. My full review is in this link.

DHC Bio Cellulose Mask

This was the weirdest and funniest mask I have ever used. You can see why in my review here. A great treatment for renewed facial skincare at home.

Poundland Pure Exfoliating Complete Cleansing Wipes

These are so worth the price. Poundland always have these at two packs of 20 wipes for just £1.00. See my full review here.

balance Me. Super Moisturising Hand Cream

A deeply moisturising hand cream with such a therapeutic scent. My full review is in this link.

Crystal Clear Skincare Stay Young Intense Anti-Ageing Serum Moisturiser & Lift Away The Years Wand

This moisturiser combined with the Lift Away The Years magical wand are amazing. If you want more toned, defined and slimmer facial features that lessen the need for make-up contouring check out these products. Available now at Your Beauty M&S. For my Crystal Clear Skincare full reviews check out this post!

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

These two when used together sent me to cleansed heaven. My skin felt so clean as all of the dirt and make-up residue had been completely removed without being harsh on my skin. To see my review of both products check out this link!

99p Store Cussons Shower Creams & Shower Gels

First of all total bargains at 99p for these 500ml bottles. The scents are great, especially the wild fruit burst. I am using that one currently. Check out my review on those here!

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry For Nails

A quick drying spray that you simply mist over your painted nails when you can't be bothered with a top coat or are just in a rush. Perfect when you have applied nail art that you don't want to smudge with a top coat too. See my review here!

In the shower I tend to use exfoliating gloves on my body which I generally pick up in pound shops unless I receive body exfoliating products for Xmas, birthdays or in my GlossyBox.

I have been trying to make myself moisturise my body every day and I haven't done too bad with that. I usually use a spray oil if I really can't be bothered when I am at home as I think they tend to sometimes take longer to sink into the skin and may stain clothes if I am in a rush to get dressed and go out. I have used many body creams and lotions throughout the year though which you can find reviews of on my blog in the tags section.

I hope that this post and all of my other 2013 favourites posts have helped you discover some products that you might enjoy. If you do try them please let me know how they work for you.

Love to you all

Make-Up Face Product Favourites For 2013

Hi lovelies and Happy Thursday! Today I am going to do my first ever favourites post. I know it's rare for a blogger not to have favourites posts, but I just tend to review products as I use them. The end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 however has got me thinking about products that I continue to use frequently. So here is my pick of favourite make-up face products for 2013.

Milani Glimmer Stripes All-Over Colour 05 Honey Glimmer

I picked up this multitasking product at Poundland in the summer. You can find that post here. I use the lightest 2 shades together or separately as a highlighter on my brow bone, cupids bow and tops of my cheeks. The darker shades I swirl together to use as a bronze blush. Swirling all of the palettes shades together gives lovely luminous bronzed glow to the cheeks so no need for a separate bronzer and highlight. I am just careful when using it in this way to make sure not to apply the product far below my cheekbones or too high. I can also create simple or smokey eye looks with this palette. I usually use 1, 2 or 3 of the shades. I think this palette may be discontinued, but I have seen it on Ebay and Amazon. I just wish I had picked up the other shaded palettes from this collection when they had them in Poundland. 

Chit Chat Foundation Oatmeal

This foundation I picked up in the same haul post mentioned above. This has a very light to medium coverage depending on how heavily you apply it. I love to use my fingers with this product. It's not runny or stiff. The formula is a cream texture that is very easy to work with. It has a clean and fresh scent when I sniff the bottle, but I don't feel that I notice any scent when applying it. I have never had any streaking or clinging to dry patches with this product. It actually feels quite moisturising. This shade is oatmeal which matches my pale skin very well. It's quite yellow toned. At the time I noticed another shade which was more pink toned, but I don't actually know the shade name. I would certainly pick this up again as it's so inexpensive and great for everyday wear. This 30ml tube I would say has lasted about 4 months as I have tried other products too.

Illamasqua Powder Blusher Expose

This is a gorgeous warm toned blush that works well both with my pale skin and with fake tan. It is quite pigmented so it's best to add a little at a time and build it up as desired. It gives a very natural, healthy glow. I have worn this shade through all seasons. I would definitely say it's an all skin tone shade. I am not sure if Illamasqua are discontinuing this blusher, but it is showing on the Debenhams website linked above. It has sold out, but hopefully you can pick it up in store. It is more on the expensive side of £18.00, but I will never get bored of using this blush and it is unmistakable in quality by the way it feels and looks on the skin.

E.L.F. Studio High Definition Powder Translucent

In my January 2013 E.L.F. Haul I picked up this product even though I still hadn't finished my previous tub because I love it that much and at 50% off I just couldn't resist. I have very dry skin and for a long time I didn't think that powder on my face was a good idea, but trust me with good skincare and the right products you can wear it. In the above haul link you will see my full review, but for flawless skin this product is magic. The only downside is that the tub does look messy, but as it's translucent it won't leave colour pigment wherever you are applying it so don't worry :) This tub is £6.00, but E.L.F. always have great sales so keep an eye out for those!

I have used a few face primers and concealers too, but I didn't feel that I loved them enough to put them into a yearly favourite. I will however let you know if I find exceptional products of this nature in 2014.

I am writing other favourites posts too including other make-up products and skincare so keep an eye out for those.

If you would like make-up looks using any or all of these products please let me know in the comments below along with any questions about them you may have.

Love to you all

Feeling Fresh

Hello beauties. What have you been up to today? I have three products to review for keeping you body fresh so here goes :)

Left: Nivea Fresh Natural 24 Hour Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, £2.00 for 150ml

I picked this up at a chemist while on my travels. It has a lovely clean and fresh powder room scent. It's gentle formula did not cause irritation after underarm shaving. I would pick this up again.

Centre: Right Guard Women 48 Hour Total Defence 5 Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, £1.00 for 150ml

I picked this up in Poundland and I really like it. It has a very linen fresh scent. The total defence 5 stands for fighting perspiration, preventing odour, long-lasting freshness, instant response formula and triple stain protection. I would use this again.

Right: Morrisons Tantalise Body Spray

This is said to be a delicious and zingy fragrance. This was around the £1.00 mark. I didn't overly enjoy using this product as you could really smell the alcohol in it. There are other scents in this range which I may try, but if they smell of alcohol like this one they won't be favourites of mine.

Have you found any long lasting anti-perspirant deodorants that are clean and fresh smelling as well as less staining? What are your favourite body sprays? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

 

Exfoliating Face Wipes

Hey guys.  How has your day been? In this post I have two exfoliating face wipe brands to talk about so here I go.

Top: Primark Beauty Exfoliating Facial Cleansing Wipes, £1.00 for 25 wipes

For £1.00 I could not pass picking these up on my last Primark shopping trip. I really like the fresh scent of these cucumber extract wipes. The small beads within the wipe were not too harsh, but I was careful to use them around my eyes as I felt they may be just a little too abrasive around that delicate area of skin. I would pick these up again.

Bottom: Poundland Pure Exfoliating Complete Cleansing Wipes, 20 wipes per pack, 2 packs for £1.00

I had not realised until I got to the till that these were 2 packs (40 wipes) for £1.00. These are the textured exfoliating facial wipes without the micro beads. I prefer this style of wipe a little more to the one above as I am not so worried about using them around my eye area. These do have a floral scent to them which is something I am not usually a fan of with skincare, but I don't mind it with these. For some reason I actually find it comforting. These are paraben free. I would definitely pick these up again too.

So that's it for this post. Are you a fan of facial exfoliating wipes? Let me know with your reasons and any favourite ones you think I would like in the comments below.

Love to you all

 

NOTD: Rio Multi-Colour Glitter Nail Varnish

Hey everyone. I have a really sparkly nail post for you today that I hope you will like. I felt the need to sparkle and multi-colour felt like the way to go with this gorgeous summer weather.

 

I applied one coat of my Rimmel stronger base coat followed by one coat of this MUA Nail Varnish Shade 10. I have a feeling this may be a limited edition shade. I think I got this free in Superdrug when they were giving away 2 MUA nail shades if you bought 2 bottles of diet coke. Please let myself and others know in the comments below if this was a limited edition shade. You could use any neutral shade for this look. I just wanted something to take away the yellow staining on my nails. This is a champagne shade, but beige, cream, white, silver or gold would work with this look too.

I then applied 2 coats of this Chit Chat Nail Varnish in the shade Rio over the top. This was a Xmas present that I asked for and I am glad that I did. It was just £1.00 from Poundland. There are smaller and larger glitter particles in shades of red, blue, green, silver and gold. 

I think this makes you look like you have put more effort into decorating your nails than you actually have. Chips do not show up as easily with this manicure either as there is no defined line at the tip of your nails. Great for a long wearing look. I finished off with my Elegant Touch Nail Drying Spray.

I have not added links into this post as I can't find these on the web, but hopefully your local stores will stock these if not something similar.

What are your favourite glitter shades? Have you found some great cheap nail polishes that you think could be dupes? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

  

 

Poundland Make-Up Haul

Hello you sweet peas. Happy Sunday and Happy Father's Day to Dad's out there. Sadly my Dad has passed so I can't spend today with him, but I hope you are having a wonderful day with your pops. I visited Poundland on Friday. One of my favourite shopping trips I have to say and here are the make-up beauties I picked up.

Chit Chat Foundation Oatmeal, 30ml for £1.00

I hope you can see here that it blends out nicely. This is a yellow toned foundation. I did see another shade that was pink toned from this range. I am not sure if they are the only two shades. There appears to be no scent with this. I was in desperate need of picking up a new foundation, but as I was short on time this seemed like a good option to try. This seems very lightweight as it is described.

Famous By Sue Moxley Lipgloss Edit, 6ml for £1.00

I could not find this on the website for a link sorry. This smells sweet like those twist up lipstick type of sweets you used to get. This is a beautiful iced baby pink lipgloss with I believe pink and lilac glitter reflects within the gloss.

Milani Glimmer Stripes All-Over Colour 05 Honey Glimmer, 12.8g for £1.00

These are the shades swatched as they are in the pan in the first photo. The two lightest shades don't show up too well when swatched.

I am not sure if you can see it well enough here, but this is a swatch of all the shades in the palette merged together. The effect is a very subtle, soft golden bronze shimmer. This palette is meant for the face, cheeks & eyes. I think this would also be beautiful on areas of the body such as the collar bone, arms and down the front of the legs to highlight a tan. This does not appear to be on the website either, but there were a few palette shades in this range.

What bargains have you found lately in Poundland or other pound shops? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

Pure B.B Cream Daily All In One Light

Happy Friday to you. Today I have a make-up/skincare product to talk to you about. I am a big fan of the idea of a bb cream and so I have been trying another one out.

 Pure B.B Cream Daily All In One Light

I have previously tried other products from this range such as the Pure Revitalising Daily Moisturiser and the Pure Revitalising Eye Make-Up Remover. Both of these products I picked up from Poundland, but this B.B Cream I believe I got from PoundWorld. Unfortunately I can not find a link to this on their website and I can't remember the price, but I did find this on Ebay for £3.25 plus £1.00 delivery for 30ml.

I bought this in two shades of light and medium as I could not see what the shades looked like from the packaging. These were the only two shades available in store, but now I have come to realise that this product also comes in ultra light which I would have tried.

As a bb cream this is fabulously easily to apply. I used my fingers to dot it over my face and neck before massaging it in. It covers well, but still looks natural with one layer. I did sometimes add another layer if my skin was quite uneven that day or just add more over blemished areas for a deeper coverage. 

It is not drying, but smooth and does actually feel like a skincare product because of the balm texture. It can be used as a make-up base to give a tinted moisturiser or foundation finish depending on how you layer it or just use one coat. It can simply be used as a concealer too.

I do find this to be a bit orange in tone though so I would not repurchase it for that reason. If however I come across the shade ultra light I will give it a whirl because I do like the way this applies and feels on my skin. The medium shade that I already have I will keep for when I fake tan and see how that works.

Here is a face of the day post where I used this product, link.

Have you tried the ultra light version of this product? Do you think it would work well for a pale one like myself? Let me know in the comments below.

Love to you all

NOTD: Purple With Red Glitter

Hi there my loves. I hope you are well today. I want to share with you my current manicure as I can't stop looking at it because I love it so.

I applied one coat of my Rimmel base coat followed by two coats of my Primark Glo Baby Glo! UV Reactive Nail Polish (Ultra Violet). This is an almost regal purple shade that looks gorgeous by itself however I felt the need to add some glitter. I am not sure if Primark still sell this shade sorry, but it was very inexpensive if they do.

I added two coats of my Chit Chat Nail Varnish (Crimson/Red Glitter). I think this adds a really nice splash of glitz to the nails to make the purple pop even more. I asked for this at Xmas as it was just £1.00 from Poundland for 12ml. I can not find this exact colour online, but here is a link to another shade from this range so that you can get more of an idea of the glitters. There are smaller and larger glitter particles in this red shade, but they are all the same colour. 

I finished of the look with my Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Nail Spray. I think that these look fun and pretty while sparkling in the sunlight.

Which glitters do you like to layer over nail colours to make them pop? Tell me your favourite combinations in the comments below.

Love to you all

 

NOTD: Gold Mine

Hey Beauty Addicts. Have you ever felt like you just need some sparkle? If yes is your answer then you have to check out my current manicure :)

I applied one coat of my Alessandro Pro White as a base followed by five coats of this Chit Chat Nail Varnish in Gold Glitter from Poundland, Link. I received this for Xmas as I had asked for it and let me tell you it was so worth asking for. This looks pretty with just one coat, but I wanted full on bling in this manicure so five coats it was. The gold particles in this varnish are made up of hexagon confetti and smaller glitter pieces. I sealed the look with one coat of my Nails Inc. Kensington Caviar Top Coat.

I still have the other shades in this range that I asked for at Xmas to try and if they are all like this I will be a happy gal.

Have you tried these varnishes? Do you like a bit of bling like me? Let me know your favourites in the comments below.

Love to you all
