Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold

I recently featured this in my One Beauty Product You Should Invest In and mentioned I was going to do a review of it. So here it is!

Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette

I was lucky to get the Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette for my birthday and knew I just had to share it with you all!

L'Oreal Infallible Sculpt Contouring Palette

I am currently getting into contouring and bronzing a lot so when L'Oreal bought out a new contour palette I knew I wanted to try it especially as it is a cream formula which I had never tried before!

Sculpt and define your features with shadow and light, with our cream-to-powder Contouring Palette.

The lighter shade is designed to lift and highlight the high-points of your face, whilst the darker shade creates the illusion of shadow, to sculpt your face to perfection.

Beanies Coffee

 I am a lover of coffee and since joining Slimming World flavoured coffee's seemed a thing of the past as most syrups contain ridiculous amounts of sugar so when people in my group started talking about Beanies coffee I knew I needed to try them.

Just to put this out there this post isn't sponsored I just love this coffee so much!


Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Range

I often feature reviews of shampoo and conditioners, but its rare for me to try out a load of products from one specific range. When I saw this range had come out I knew I had to try at least one thing from the range especially as I am currently obsessed with coconut smelling body and hair care!

Review // Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Lotion


With pure cocoa butter, moisturises to help restore dry skin to reveal its natural glow.
Moisturises to help restore dry and dull-looking skin.
Absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel.


Review // Lush: Popcorn Lip Scrub

With Valentine's literally just around the corner I thought this was the perfect time to put up a review of this little lip saviour the Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub.

Review // Lush: Mask Of Magnaminty

Fun Fact: Whilst I'm writing this I am actually sat with this mask on my face and I look fabulous.

"A multi-purpose mask with a mixture of gentle yet effective ingredients to clean, calm and clear the skin. Easily smoothed over the skin, this mask is made with peppermint oil to stimulate, marigold oil and chlorophyllin to treat the skin; evening primrose seeds and aduki beans to gently exfoliate as you remove it. You can use this mask anywhere."

Review // OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco

OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Haircare
"Indulge your senses and your hair. This renewing formula helps strengthen and soften all at once, smoothing your locks into their silkiest potential."

After my other OGX shampoo and conditioner ran out I knew I wanted to try more things from the brand but was intrigued by the different ranges they had available. I had previously tried the Moroccan Argan Creme range and had loved it (post all about those here) so I knew I still wanted to use something with argan oil in it and there were still lots of different types to try, in the end I opted for this range.

Review // Soap & Glory One Heck of A Blot Primer

 If you've read my recent post on my 2015 Beauty Favourites (if you haven't you can check it out here) you will see that this product featured in those favourites. I haven't owned this for that long probably just over two months but thought as it has become such a staple in my collection that I should do a whole post dedicated to just this. The product I'm talking about of course is the Soap & Glory One Heck Of A Blot Primer, they have also released the foundation to go with this, which I am still yet to try but if it's as good as the primer you are definitely on to a winner!

Review: Got 2 Be Oil-Licious Tame & Shine Styling Oil

 

"Does sleek, glossy hair feel like a distant dream? Make it reality with got2b oil-licious tame & shine styling oil. The non-greasy formula with Argan Oil absorbs instantly and can be used for:

1) extra care pre-washing,
2) better manageability pre-styling (damp hair),
3) sleek finished styles (dry hair).
Journey to hair oasis!"


OGX Moroccan Argan Créme Review

OGX Luxurious Moroccan Argan Créme Haircare
"Hydrating Moroccan Argan Crème helps soothe and smooth the outer cuticle, nourishing dry, damaged hair and mending split ends."

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette


You're probably thinking "oh, another post on the new Urban Decay palette? so original" but I wanted to do my own special post on this amazing palette.

Seventeen Eye Shadow


 After having a mini YouTube session (which happens more often than not) and binge watching FleurDeForce's most recent videos I noticed her mentioning the Seventeen Eye Eye Shadow in Rose Quartz numerous times and decided I needed to pick it up. Then as always there was an offer on so I had to pick up another one and decided I ought to share my opinion on this recent finding.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub


If I ever want to get something body care wise i know I can always turn to Soap and Glory and rarely be disappointed. This is one of these fail safe products for me. The Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub not only smells amazing it also does wonders for my skin. I have repurchased this particular scrub over and over and have yet to find something that smells just as good but also has similar results.



The scrub itself is gentle enough to be used more than once a week yet harsh enough to remove the stubborn dead/hard skin over your body. You can really work with this scrub to get a deep exfoliation which is amazing when trying to remove old tan. You can also use this for a gentle everyday exfoliation. This is a universal product which I have to have in my bathroom otherwise I feel lost as it does the work of probably two different products in one tub.

I use this quite frequently like maybe twice a week and find this lasts me ages! Which is good because it means you get your moneys worth as a little goes a long way. This is a staple in my bathroom and it will be for the foreseeable future until Soap and Glory come up with something even better than this.

As always I am open to suggestions about new products so if you have a body scrub which you think is a staple and a must try please let me know in the comments!

L'Oreal Hair Expertise EverSleek

The L'Oreal Hair Expertise has a number of ranges for different hair needs including EverSleek, EverStrong, EverRiche and EverPure. I personally use the EverSleek range as its for coarse and frizzy hair, which I seem to experience from use of excess heat on my hair. This is one of the only hair ranges I keep repurchasing over and over so thought it was time to give my opinion on it. The reason I purchased this was because of essiebutton as she raved about the Hair Expertise range.


I didn't originally expect to get attached to this hair range as I can be quite fussy when it comes to hair products and used to only stick with my trusted Aussie range, but from my first use of this stuff I knew it was great and since then I haven't looked back. I've been using this for months and I'm still impressed with the results. My hair is smoother and in better condition, even my hairdresser has noticed the difference and continues to compliment me on how good my hair is at the moment and its all done to these wonder products. 

I can't say that I stick to using this range all of the time but it does dominate my shower and I sometimes mix it up adding another range in between washes to try new products out but I always end up back to this. I have like 3 back ups at the moment, just in case I run out and also I always pick some up whenever they are on offer because it's a steal for the amazing product you are getting.

As I said there are numerous other ranges, designed for other hair types but after looking at reviews online a lot of people are getting similar results from the L'Oreal Hair Expertise Range, so there is a range to be found for you and I would 100% recommend trying out this hair range if you haven't already. 

If you have any recommendations for me please let me know in the comments below because I'm always open to trying new haircare!

Review : Origins Super Spot Remover



I have struggled with spots throughout the entirety of my early teenage years and due to not having a job or much pocket money I frequently walked aimlessly up the aisles of Boots and brought probably some of the worst products for my blemish prone skin. They destroyed my skin and inevitably made my blemish problem worse. As soon as I got a job at the age of 16 and a few spots had returned I finally was able to purchase probably one of the most hyped up spot treatments across the blogging sphere, the Origins Super Spot Remover. I was quite sceptical as it quite expensive for the amount of product you receive  but I decided it was worth it, this is my skin, something I have to live with for the rest of my life. I was not disappointed. I apply this at night by dabbing a small film of the treatment gel over the blemish and let the product do its magic overnight. I find with particularly stubborn spots this takes a few uses to fully get rid of the spot but I did notice a dramatic improvement on the redness and after the spot had finally gone there was little or none post blemish darkening of the skin.

I have been really impressed with this Origins products and despite it being only a teeny tiny bottle of product a little really does go a long way. If there's one blemish treatment you have in your skincare collection it should be this. It really does work and despite not being cheap for £15 for 10ml from Debenhams it's worth it, definitely a must have or a must try.
