February Favourites!

It's coming to the end of the month which means it's time for my monthly favourites and this month is packed full of the prettiest pink products! Below are all the things I've loved in February!

Lush Prince Charming Shower Cream- I received this in one of my Lush gift sets but I also purchased a full sized bottle of this too. I had been really curious about this since I heard the shower gel was a limited edition last Valentine's Day so I really wanted to get it this year and I love it! The shower cream is really pigmented and has such a rich colour, it doesn't lather as much as I would like it to but I really like adding it to my bath water! It has a really fruity citrus scent mixed in with the sweet hint of vanilla! I wish it was a little bit sweeter but it's still such a nice scent.

Marc Anthony Coconut Oil and Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Treatment- This smells amazing! It makes me think of being on holiday with the the delicious blend of coconut and Shea butter. I love to wash my hair and then apply this to damp hair, massage it in and leave it on for about three hours, then wash it off. My hair not only smells amazing but feels so incredibly soft! This is my favourite deep conditioning treatment to do when my hair is drying out!

The Balm Cosmetics Meet Mr Matt(e) Hugh's Liquid Lipstick- This was my first ever liquid matte lipstick and I still love it, I've been wearing it a lot this month because it's such a nice neutral colour. I love how easy and smooth it is to apply, it's really rich and is really long lasting. It has a very sweet mint taste when you apply it too. I really want to get another shade of this lipstick in the full size! 

Ted Baker 'Polly' Fragrance- I have been wanting this perfume since before Christmas and my wonderful boyfriend recently got it for me when he came to see me! It's quite a small bottle but it's the only size they do and at the rate I'm using it it will be gone before I know it! It's quite a sweet scent, not floral or fruity at all which is my normal go to but I love it and it comes in the prettiest bottle!

Tanya Burr Rosy Flush Cheek Palette- I am terrible at contouring, I just can't seem to get a grasp on it and always seem to make a terrible mess when I try it! When my friend Daisy sent me this palette it became my saving grace, it's really helped me learn simple steps to contour easily! All the colours are beautiful and have such rich shimmering colour. The packaging is so pretty too, I love that it has the built in mirror for in the go application!

Ipsy Glambag February Opening!

How can it be time for my February Glambag already? It feels like only yesterday I was writing about my January Glambag! I was very excited when I found out that it was pretty in pink themed this month and of course I loved almost everything! I think that my favourite thing about Ipsy is how much I love everything I receive, they really do tailor it to what you love and I have it to that perfect point where I am really happy with what I get! Below are all the beautiful products I got in this month's bag!

Trust Fund Beauty Nail Polish in 'I'm kind of a big deal'- I love the story behind this brand, it's vegan and cruelty free, this brand aims to be beautiful without being cruel! This long wearing polish is the cutest shade of pink, it's is really rich in colour and paints on really smoothly!

Perfectly Posh BFF: Best Face Forever Exfoliating Daily Face Wash- With a refreshing blend of grapefruit and peppermint oil this gentle exfoliant is packed full of natural microbeads which clean away dry, dead skin to give you a fresher face! It's gentle enough for daily use!

Naked Cosmetics Mica Pigment 'Sierra Nevada #02'- Natural Cosmetics is the purest and most natural makeup out there. This is a highly pigmented 100% colour powder that can be used on your eyes, lips, face, nails and body! It blends amazingly and has the most elegant shimmer!

Smashbox Cosmetics Photo Finish Primer Oil- This fast absorbing lightweight lustrous oil instantly moisturizes your face to allow flawless foundation application. It contain 15 essential oils including jojoba and chamomile to calm your skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

Vintage By Jessica Liebeskind Sparkling Lipgloss 'Pink Sequin'- This is the perfect gloss to carry in your bag for an instant pop of shimmer and shine, it's such a pretty colour and with it's sheer reflective formula it can be worn on its own or on top of another lip colour to create the prettiest pink pout!

Lush 'In Your Dreams' Valentine's Gift Unboxing!

In the spirit of all things pretty and pink I decided to do a Lush gift unboxing for the beautiful 'In Your Dreams' gift my boyfriend bought for me. The magic of this gift starts with its unbelievably pretty packaging, I love all things glitter and unicorns and so my eyes lit up when I saw that the theme of this gift is everything to do with that. Underneath the almost too pretty to touch wrapping paper was the beautiful sweet, floral scent of the unicorn horn bubble bar. A sweet, shimmering, pastel shaped unicorn horn bubble bar that carries a citrus and lavender scent is perfect to crumble under warm running water and creates shimmering, pink bath waters topped with fluffy clouds of bubbles. Nestled deeper in this gift is the cutest bottle of Prince Charming shower cream, the 60ml bottle is the smallest bottle I've seen from Lush but it is perfect for travelling. The sweet scents of vanilla and pomegranate are combined to create this vibrant pink shower cream, the colour is gorgeous! Lastly to finish off the gift is the 'Kiss Me' Lip Gloss, they say that this is a gloss but I would say it's more of a shimmer balm. It's packed full of shea butter and has a sweet candy taste with a slight pink tint to create the perfect pout! I absolutely love this gift set, it's beautiful and I'm so sad it's going to be gone so soon!

Spring Lip Loves!

Even though it's not actually spring, the weather here has been really mild and quite warm so it feels like almost spring is in the air which means that my dark winter reds are taking a little step back for a while and some lighter and brighter lip colours are in! My favourites are nudes and light pinks, I think they go really well with lots of colours and just give your lips the prettiest pout, I love the classic shine and soft look of these colours! Some of the brands I am loving at the moment are Rimmel London 002 Candy a gorgeous pearl pink shade. Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie in the shade smooth talker which is a pretty shimmer pink shade, this also gives your lips a gorgeous plump look and Sephora Rouge in the shade Love Life which is a very peachy beige. All of these are really rich in colour, I love it when a lip colour has really rich pigment and when they are really smooth to apply! I'm having so much fun mixing and matching different shades this season, especially when I have so many to choose from!

January Favourites!

I can't believe that it's already the end of January, it's flown by! The end of January means that it's time for all the products that I have been loving in the last month! Most of them are pretty basic beauty routine pieces, basic but essential things I can't go a week without!

I recently decided that I wanted to try a new shampoo, I had my eye on one from Lush for a while purely because I absolutely love the honey toffee scent of it! I was sort of apprehensive about using a bar of shampoo but I actually prefer it over regular shampoo, it's so easy to use and it lathers up really well and leaves my hair feeling silky soft! It is perfect for travelling too! Keeping along the lines of hair products, for those lazy days we all have I am loving using Batiste dry shampoo in the floral flirty scent of Blush, it is perfect when my hair needs a bit of a freshen up, it smells so sweet and fresh and isn't to difficult to blend into my hair!

On to my face favourites of the month all from the wonderful brand Simple, I can't go without using their sensitive cleansing makeup removing wipes every day, my skin feels so horrible if I use any other face wipes as I get super sensitive under my eyes and these make sure I'm not in an discomfort! Plus they are so easy at removing your stubborn makeup! For an even deeper clean on my face I use their foaming cleansing wash, it's gives a really deep clean and leaves your skin feeling so fresh, I also love the fact it's a foam! Finally for my everyday makeup I'm I love with the Fleur De Force quad eye shadow palette in Lunar Rose, I got this as a gift for Christmas from my wonderful friend Daisy and it has quickly become my everyday go to palette! It has some really beautiful neutral shades which blend amazingly, I love the shimmer tones it has as well as the matte shades for creating the perfect ombré shadow look!

Pamper Perfection!

Sometimes when life and work gets a bit stressful I find that a really good evening of pampering is the only thing that helps me unwind and relax. I don't mean just a bath with a Lush bath bomb in it, I mean the full works!! To me, nothing feels better than taking all my makeup off after a long day and having that fresh, clean feeling! Depending on how my skin is whether it is a bit dry and needs some moisturizing or if it's breaking out a bit and I need some deep pore cleansing I pick out a face mask to pop on, I think it's so important when pampering that you focus on everything! After painting a mask on my face it comes to my favourite part of picking out which Lush bits I want to use in my bath, I like to really splash out when it is a pamper night, using bath bombs, bubble bars, bubble bath and everything in between, I love a bath with the brightest of colours and clouds of fluffy bubbles to soak in! I also love to use nights like this to use products I don't normally use like a doing a full body scrub and using a body conditioner. After running my bath and popping in all my Lush products I like to light some candles and put on some of my favourite music and just relax, maybe do a full deep condition on my hair and just enjoy being able to switch off and do nothing for a few hours! I always feel so much better after it, my head feel so clear and my body feels so relaxed!

Ipsy Glambag January Opening!

It's that time of the month again, the most glorious time of the month when I open my Ipsy Glambag! Every month it has been getting better and better and I love everything I got this month!
