MAKE UP MONDAY | beauty haul part 1.

heya beauty lovers! 

I was shocked to see how many people have been reading my beauty posts on monday so I decided to treat you all because who doesn't love a great haul?! Hopefully you won't get sick of them as I have another two beauty hauls, a homeware haul and a shoe haul upcoming soon:-)

Avon for men - powerful.

Ive blogged about this product before, if you want an in depth post please click here... the post also has a direct link. I can't believe its only 99p as it is such a strong fragrance that lingers on the skin for hours afterwards. Its a generous size and it smells heavenly.

Tresemme heat defence spray. 

I think practically everyone uses this heat defence spray, ive really noticed a difference in my hair since using this product. Again, its a repurchase so that must mean I like it! I buy mine from boots for £5.25, you can use this link to be taken directly to the product.

No7 hot cloth cleanser. 

I promise this is the last repurchase. Its soooooooo good... gentle, smooth, benefical and cheap. If you want an indepth review you can check out my 2013 beauty favourites post. I used a no7 voucher which made the product less than £5 if I remember rightly. Absolute bargain. The no7 vouchers always gets me!!

Batiste dark and deep dry shampoo.

I'm going to be going natural soon (can't believe I'm ditching the extenstions, I'll probably do an emotional post closer to the time... I'm so pathetic haha) but I thought this would be a great way to reduce the amount of times I have to wash my hair. My hair is sooooo thick and it goes afroy when washed, check my instagram for a picture (shameless plug). So I thought this could be my saviour, I've never used it before but everyone recommends it so I thought I'd give it a go. Its £3.99 from boots:-)

Soap and glory ultra rich body lotion.

It doesn't really smell like any of the more foody smells that I've smelt from soap and glory, this product smells more... fresh to me. To be honest, the packaging sold it to me. But I haven't been let down by any of the other soap and glory products that I've tried before and 'ultra rich' sounds great for my skin. So why not!

Nivea in shower body moisturiser. 

Sometimes when I go to the gym or for runs etc... I get sooo lazy after the shower and don't moisture. Some of you may think this is a sin and some of you may be thinking whats the big deal. But for someone who has really dry skin, its a problem. I've seen this advertising everywhere and I even saw fayesfix on youtube talking about it. 

Avon dry oil body spray. 

I spray this all over my body just before I go in the shower and it always makes me silky smooth afterwards. Its really refreshing and recently I've found myself looking forward to the spray more than the shower hahaha. It just cools you down because the United Kingdom has actually been pretty warm recently! Which makes a nice change:-)

If you have any questions for an uncoming Q&A please can you put them in the comments below:-)

BEST OF 2013 | beauty products.

hello girlies! 

happy blogmas day 23:-)

I can't believe its this close to Christmas?! So today, I thought I'd do a very exciting post by doing my ultimate favourite products for 2013. This was very hard for me because I've tried so many new products this year that I've absolutely loved but I decided to do two items per section. 
Have you got any stand out products for 2013?

Left side	Right side
Perfume	Shower and bath
Lady one million: This is my favourite perfume by far which was bought by my boyfriend (thank you!) I’m awful with smell but it’s definitely a ‘sexy’ fragrance that makes you feel a million dollars and the packaging is beautiful!	Avon Bergamot, Peppermint & Sandalwood shower gel for men: I don't even like the smell of peppermint but this is one of the BEST smells I have ever smelt and it lingers on your body for most of the day. This is by far my favourite shower gel.
Tommy Hilfiger girl: This is my second favourite fragrance which is close to lady one million. It’s a mature fruity scent that I absolutely adore and again, I love the simple packaging.	Soap and glory flake away: This smells divine! It can take away any discolouration in your skin and the smell lasts almost all day. It has big chunky particles in it so you can definitely feel it working.
Eye make up	Loose eye shadows
17 Smokey eye palette: This is a green make up palette that I didn’t think I’d like but the colours are very wearable. The palette also has numbers indented in the shades and can with a leaflet to show you how to create different looks which is great for beginners.	MAC in ‘Patina’: This is a lovely highlight colour which is a golden smooth shimmer that makes any eye colour pop out. I love the compact size of a loose eye shadow and it’s great for people that have a mac palette to keep them all together once de-potted.
Rimmel day 2 night mascara: This is definitely my holy grail product that I will repurchase for years to come. It gives such length AND volume; which I’ll show in tomorrow’s new year’s eve eye make-up tutorial.	Maybelline colour tattoo: On and on bronze is a product that has been raved bout in the blogging community but I definitely think it’s worth the hype. As you can clearly see it’s a beautiful colour, for a base or all over the lid.
Lips	Face
Taxi: This is my absolute favourite lip gloss as it is SO minty that it smells like you have stuck polo mints to your lips. It’s a beautiful nude shade and It’s so convenient as it has a mirror and a light which is great for nights out.	No7 hot cloth cleanser: I’ve definitely done my fair share of raving for this product as it is definitely my miracle product (along with Sudocrem which I’ve lost so I couldn’t include) to get rid of them pesky spots.
Max factor: I have a whole blog post including pictures here but I love this as my ‘your lips but better’ shade and oddly I love the simple packaging that it provides.	Phyderma face enhancer: I absolutely love this product! It’s a liquid based highlighter that you can use all over the face, I use this before my foundation but you can be very versatile with this and use it after foundation.
Haircare	Overview
Vo5 Extreme style sea salt spray: I loved this product in the summer as I didn’t need to apply heat. I’d just spray a couple squirts of this into my hair and it would provide me with effortless waves.
Tresemme heat defence spray: This is another holy grail product that I have definitely noticed a difference since using it. My hair has become much healthier and I now always wonder why I never used a heat defence spray before?!

Hope you enjoyed this post. See you tomorrow for a new years eve eye make up tutorial.
