First Impressions of Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

When I first heard that Benefit was coming out with a new mascara I was pretty excited. I have loved the Bad Gal and They're Real mascaras, when it comes to mascaras Benefit know what they're doing. This mascara is Roller Lash, it isn't available until, I believe, late February/March. but this month Elle magazine had a sample size of the mascara included so I knew I had to see if it was as good as the others that I had tried.

REVIEW: OPI Avojuice Hand & Body Lotion

My hands have been incredibly dry recently all due to the super cold weather I have been having, thanks England bring me snow! Years ago I used one of these hand lotions and I loved it so I thought it was worth revisiting the product and getting myself a new bottle of the OPI Avojuice Hand & Body Lotion*. I picked the grapefruit scent and I am obsessed with it.

Perfect Fragrances For Valentine's Day

Valentines Day is fast approaching so its time to get those gifts sorted! Fragrances is one gift that any lady in your life would love, no matter what their age, as long as you know what type of scent they like. I am a massive fan of fresh and fruity fragrances and am always on the look out for scents that have great lasting power and luckily I have found that in these fragrances. These two perfumes smell incredible and would make perfect gifts for this Valentines Day.

Everyday Face #1

I have decided that I need to use up some of my make up collection before I purchase any more. Its my birthday in under a month so I have made it my mission to use up some of the lesser loved products so I can have a little splurge. I have actually found some products that I really love and I can't believe I have only just started using them, I feel quite bad having had them sitting in my collection!

Makeup Revolution Iconic Blush, Bronze and Brighten Palette

Makeup Revolution has become my favourite high street brand, they are brought out some incredible new products, I need the lip lavas and blushing hearts in my life asap. I am yet to find a product from Makeup Revolution that I don't like! I am all for palettes, getting up at 5am for work almost every morning I like to have all my products in one place and I have been loving the Iconic Blush, Bronze and Brighten Palette* for that!

REVIEW: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Finding a good top coat is something that I have never found until now. I either didn't use a top coat or I was using such a rubbish one that I never noticed any effects from it. The Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat* is one that is massively raved about in the beauty world so I thought it was finally time that I found out what all the fuss was about.

Clarins All About Lips Gift Set

Clarins is a brand that over the years I have heard so many good things about but have just never got round to trying. Whenever I am at the counters I always give Clarins a miss and I have no idea why. When I saw this All About Lips Gift Set* I thought it would be the perfect time to try some Clarins products. Lip products are my favourite beauty item and I have heard incredible things about lip products from Clarins.

Figs & Rouge Vanilla Pistachio Hand Cream

Hand creams are a product that I have hated for years and years. Every one that I have tried, I hated the way it left my hands feeling and found most of them didn't anything to improve the hydration and softness of my hands. In my stocking I unwrapped the Figs & Rouge Vanilla Pistachio Hand Cream. I wasn't sure about this and because I have always hated hand creams, I didn't think I was going to like it before I had even tried it but I was so wrong.

Tanya Burr Nail Polishes

Ever since I saw Tanya Burr release a range of beauty products, I knew I wanted to try them and see what all the fuss was about. I first the lip glosses as soon as they were releases and I can honestly say that they are one of my favourite lip gloss brands. Because of my love for the lip glosses, I thought I would love the nail polishes just as much. For Christmas I got the shades Midnight Sparkles and also New York Night.

Beauty Wishlist #19

My beauty wishlist is never ending at the moment, I can honestly say I *need* everything - you know for blogging purposes obviously! Its my birthday in just under a month and I am planning on purchasing a couple of beauty bits from high end. There has also been quite a few new releases in the last month or so which I have fallen in love with as well as some products I have heard such amazing things about and I cannot resist the urge to try them soon.

Yankee Candle Fireside Treats

If you have been reading my blog for the last few months or following me on Instagram you would see that I am obsessed with Yankee Candle. A few weeks ago when an email popped in my inbox about the Yankee Candle sale I went straight to the website and placed an order! Along with about a million wax tarts, I picked this small jar of Fireside Treats for a bargain price of £4.

REVIEW: Barry M Glitterati Nail Polish

I have been slowly using all of my new nail polishes that I got for Christmas so I thought I would do another review today. This time I am talking all about the Barry M Glitterati Nail Polish in Rockstar. I have been eyeing this shade since it was released and I am really surprised that I didn't buy it before Christmas because it is gorgeous.

New In From Cosme-De

Cosme-De is one of my favourite beauty websites. I love websites that have multiple brands all in one place - makes for easy online shopping! Recently they have had some amazing new products come in at great prices so I thought it was only right to share a couple of my favourite products that have come onto Cosme-De. I have talked about Cosme-De and featured many other products from the website so if you want to check those posts out you can click here.

REVIEW: Liz Earle Sweet Orange & Mint Cleanse & Polish

Cleanse and Polish from Liz Earle has been my favourite skin care product for a couple of years, so when I saw that they had released an Sweet Orange and Mint version, I knew I had to try it! Cleanse and Polish has completely changed my skin for the better and I am so thankful for the product!

EOS Lip Balms

EOS lip balms have been a must have in my make up bag for the past year or so. Ever since I was able to get my hands on them, they have been my favourite lip balms. They are a little bit hard to get hold of in the UK, I know that Selfridges and Topshop sell them but they are so over priced in the UK is puts me off buying them massively when I know I can get them in the States for around £2.

REVIEW: Barry M Silk Nail Polish

Barry M nail polishes on my nails seems to be very hit or miss. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I completely hate them. I really don't like the original line but I love the Gelly line. So when I saw these Silk nail polishes I knew I wanted to try a shade to see if I liked them. For Christmas I got the shade Orchid and it really is beautiful.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

Trying to get my hair to stay smooth and not look greasy is one of my hardest problems when it comes to my hair. It is so long that I find many problems really weigh my hair down. Serums are one of my favourite products to use on my hair as I find they have the best results so I thought I would give the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum* a try.

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Lip scrubs are a completely new product to me, I have never tried one until now and I honestly don't know why it has taken me so long to try one. I get very flakey lips during the winter months and sometimes all of the lip balms in the world won't help which is why I wanted to try the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. I haven't seen many lip scrubs on the market apart from the ones at Lush and when it comes to Lush you know its going to be a good product, you can never go wrong with Lush.

Beauty Wishlist #18

There is just so many beauty products I want to get my hands on at the moment and it kills me that I can't go out on a little spending spree and purchase them all this second. However it is my birthday coming up (the big 21) and hopefully I will be able to treat myself to a couple closer to the time.

REVIEW: Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara

Tarte is a brand that for the time I have wanted to get my hands on and I finally have. Tarte is beginning to be available in the UK, at QVC, but is still more expensive that it is in the States so when my cousin went to America I asked him to pick me up a couple of bits. The Lights Camera Lashes Mascara was in the Tarte set that I got, I featured it in this haul. I had heard such amazing things about this mascara and I really can understand why everyone loves it.

Real Techniques Nic's Picks

Real Techniques brushes have been my favourite ever since I got my hands on them. I knew when I saw these were coming out that I needed them in my life and I saw so happy when I unwrapped them at Christmas. This is the Nic's Picks Set which includes five beautiful silver brushes, three of which are set exclusives. This set is limited edition so if you do want to get your hands on it, I would act fast!

Lilash & Librow One Month Update

One month ago myself and my mum started using LiLash* and Librow*, my mum using Lilash and I started using Librow. My mum has incredibly short eye lashes so I really wanted to see if this does work so I thought it would be best for her to trail it as I have quite long eye lashes. I have very small eye brows and I really struggle to get them to grow which is why I am trailing the brow version. Both products are purified serums which when applied daily for the first three months, then every other day after the three months period, it help increase growth in the brows and lashes.

NV Colour Spiced Plum Chunky Lip Crayon

Dark lip colours has been one of my favourite beauty products in the past couple of months. I love how they change up the whole make up look and are perfect for the colder months or in the evenings. But I have been really struggling to find the right dark shades for me and this Spiced Plum Chunky Lip Crayon* from NV Colour has become a fast favourite and I have already got so much use out of it!

REVIEW: MUA Pro-Base Prime & Conceal Powder

MUA is a brand I haven't really given much love to this year, in past years I have used so many of the brand products but I have been trying so many new brands this year I forgot all about MUA. For Christmas I received this MUA Pro-Base Prime & Conceal Powder and I started using it that day and I have loved it ever since.

Beauty Haul (Sales, USA Goodies and More)

I feel like I haven't done a beauty haul in forever and I have definitely made up for it this week! I am so in love with all of these purchases and don't regret buying any of these, normally I regret at least one! I also went my cousin, poor guy, on a little mission while he was in the States for Christmas to get me a couple of things I really wanted to try and he did so well - very impressed!
