BOOK REVIEW: Until Friday Night - Abbi Glines

I can't seem to stop reading at the moment and this book has to become of the best ones I have read this year! I went away for a couple of days recently and was excited to finally get stuck into the book and I read every page within 24 hours because I just couldn't put it down.

August 2016 Beauty Favourites

I am so excited that it is almost Autumn/Winter - I cannot wait for cold weather! In August I had some really exciting favourites I think and have found some products that I would definitely have to consider holy grails now. A few of these products had been massively hyped about and I totally understand why now that I have tried them for myself!

Skin Chemists Advanced Snail Moisturisers

I am always on the look out for new and exciting products which are going to hydrate my skin. When I first heard about these products and started to test them out - all I could think of was that I was putting snails on my face! As these are very expensive, I had my Mum put them to the test also has she has much maturer skin than I do and I want to find out how both of our results would compare.

Natural Collection Brow Products

Everybody is still loving wow brows and I am definitely one of them! I am always on the look out for brow products that are going to enhance my brows. I basically have two of the worst brows there ever was, they are so small and when I have a big head it just doesn't look right! They are also very thin and I have hardly any brow hairs so I was excited to see how these incredibly affordable products would work for me.

Beauty Wishlist #42

It's that time again when I share whats on my beauty wishlist! If you follow me on Twitter then you will know that I put myself on a spending ban until October...which I broke within two days! These are the products which I currently have my eye on but I will try my best to wait to buy them once my spending ban is over - wish me luck!

Romantic Bear Peel Off Lip Tints

These are some of the weirdest products I have ever used yet I can't seem to stop using them! When I started seeing the 'peel off' beauty trend on YouTube I wasn't all that interested until I watched Casey Holmes video and I knew I wanted to try these out for myself! These three shades only cost me a few pounds so I wasn't too fussed if it turned out that they didn't have any colour pay off.

Tanya Burr Christmas Collection 2016

When I spotted this collection on the Superdrug website, I knew I had to share it with you all! I really like the Tanya Burr lip glosses and nails so I was excited about this Christmas collection. I am the biggest fan of Christmas beauty gift sets and I am loving how cute the packaging of this collection is

this year.

Debenhams Beauty Haul

If you follow me on Twitter then you will know that I put myself on a spending ban until October so I could make a big Sephora order. Well, I broke that spending ban within 48 hours! I had been wanting to try out some Too Faced products for a while and decided to finally bite the bullet and make the order.

Zoella Beauty Christmas Collection 2016

I can't believe the Christmas beauty gift sets are already starting to appear online and on the shelves - I am so excited! When Zoe did a video recently about this years Zoella Beauty Christmas collection, I was really excited about the sets. Last year I found that the packaging personally was a little bit too young for me, my sister loved it but this year I think it has had an amazing upgrade!

Gallinee Mask & Scrub Review

I am obsessed with products that I can use for more than one use! I have been trying out a couple of products from Gallinee recently and I have been really enjoying them so far. I am always on the hunt for new face masks and scrubs so this La Culture Face Mask & Scrub two in one sounded like the perfect product to try!

I Heart Lip Balms

I am a huge fan of pretty much everything from the brands at TAM Beauty, you might know about Makeup Revolution who I always rave about! These cute little lip balms are from Makeup Revolutions sister brand, I Heart Makeup. There are so many new launches from I Heart Makeup and Makeup Revolution that I have my eye on next!

Natural Collection Highlighting Sticks

I must say that Natural Collection are killing it with all of their new launches at the moment! For such an affordable brand which I think is often overlooked in Boots they have some really incredible products! Everybody is loving having a glowy complexion and out of this world highlighter and these are the perfect product for that!

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ Unifiant

I am a huge fan of the Effaclar line from La Roche Posay so I was so excited to get my hands on their newest launch to the line - Unifiant! I have said time and time again how amazing the Effaclar line works for my skin so I had no doubts that I would love this product as much as the others!

Red Carpet Manicure Summer Collection

One of my favourite things to do is my nails and I have been obsessed with gel nails this year because they are so long lasting! I am pretty clumsy as I bash my hands alot resulting in a lot of chipped nails but when I use these gel polishes I don't have to worry about a single chip!

Blow Dry Waves with GHD

Without fail every single day I blow dry my hair (unless I am too lazy to actually wash my hair every now and again) and the ghd Air Hair Dryer has been a game changer when it comes to my hair. I have very long and thick hair which is poker straight so I decided to play around with this new tool and see what kinds of looks I can create.

Current Favourite Bronzers

I usually love rocking the pale look but during the summer its hard not to blind people in the sun with my paleness. I have found a couple of bronzers which work brilliantly on my light skin tone and I have been obsessed with looking bronzed. I don't like to sit in the sun and cook my skin so bronzers and fake tans are my best friends.

Eye of Horus Liquid Metal Eyeliner in Bronze

I am a huge fan of liquid liner and without fail every single day I wear it in some way or another. Typicially, I would only ever wear the classic black liner but in the past couple of weeks I have been switching it up and I have been loving the change!

Five Minute Makeup

Durinng the summer months I hate spending too much time applying makeup as I would much rather be outside enjoying the sun. Not to mention 80% of the time it just melts off anyway even if I do use a good setting spray! I have been managing to do my makeup in around five minutes and I am so happy with the look that I create, its very simple and perfect for everyday.

Benecos Cosmetics First Impressions

Benecos is a brand I have been hearing a bit of buzz about recently on social media so I was excited to try out some of their products for myself. I have been loving these four products and have found them to be must haves in my makeup bag/collection so far this summer, one in particular I just cannot get enough of and use it every single day!

Summer Sun Essentials from Ladival

I don't know about you but I am loving this heat wave we have going on in the UK at the moment (I am secretly very excited for Winter though!). While I am spending more time outside than usual, it is incredibly important to keep the skin well protected against the suns harmful rays.

Rio Ready with Elegant Touch

I don't know about you but I have been loving watching all of the Olympic coverage so far and knew I wanted to get in the spirit a bit more! Elegant Touch have released two limited edition sets of nails which are perfect to get in the Rio spirit or even as fun summer nails!

Avène Tolérance Extrême Mask

Avene has been one of my go to skincare brands for a couple of years now but I had never tried any of the masks before. I had been really excited to start using the Tolerance Mask as it is perfect for dehydrated skin and mine has been so uncomfortably dry recently that this couldn't have come at a better time!

Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Lipsticks

Lipsticks are one of my favourite makeup products so when I heard about this new collection from Make Up For Ever, I knew I wanted to get my hands on a couple of the shades! The Artist Rouge collection has 46 shades from stunning reds to exuberant blues - there is a shade for everyone! This collection features two formulas, Mat and Creme. There are 15 Mat finish lipsticks and 31 in the Creme formula.

Keeping the Skin Hydrated with Skincere

I love being able to try out new skincare brands as I often find products that I fall in love with and that work wonders for my skin. Skincere is a brand that I didn't know too much about before trying out a couple of their products but I have been really loving them. Skincere is an 100% natural skincare brand and from my experience the products are very gentle yet effective on the skin.

July Nailbox.co.uk Review (+ GIVEAWAY!)

I have been loving my nail boxes recently and after last months impressed me so much I was so excited to see what was in this months box. I am really happy with the contents of this months box and I am excited to try out some new things and brands I haven't used before!

Sleek Summer Must Haves

Sleek has quickly become one of my go to brands and this selection of products are my favourites at the moment while being perfect for summer. The best thing about Sleek is that they have amazing quality products all at a great price! If you are looking for some new products for the rest of the summer, you need to check out these from Sleek.

Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Range

I have always wanted to try out products from Wella so I jumped at the chance to try out the new Oil Reflections range and I must admit that my hair has been loving it! I am very fussy when it comes to hair care and as I put my hair through a lot of damage I am always looking for products that are going to keep my hair looking healthy and feeling super soft.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Limited Edition

I am the biggest fan of the Righteous Butter from Soap and Glory so I was so excited when this new limited edition arrived at my front door! Meet The Righteous Butter Diamond Edition, it is only around for one month and you are going to want to stock up on this one if you loved the orginal like I did! This is the perfect body butter for summer and I can't get enough.

Nanshy Fan Brush Review

With highlighting still taking over the beauty world, there is no better brush to apply gorgeous highlighter than with a fan brush. I have been using fan brushes for many of my powder needs for years and this one from Nanshy has quickly become one of my favourite brushes which I reach for everyday. I hadn't tried any brushes from the brand before so I was excited to see what all the fuss was about.

UV Protection for Your Hair

I always see people talking about SPF because it is so important to keep your skin well protected especially during the summer. But I never see people talking about SPF for the scalp and hair. I have colour treated hair and one of the main downsides to summer is that it makes my colour fade so much quicker. Not to mention that my scalp gets sunburnt as I always forget to use an SPF!

Spectrum 8 Piece Eye Blending Set

Are these not the prettiest and most gorgeous makeup brushes you have ever seen?! I am in love with them. Not only are they pretty to look at but they are some of the best eye brushes I have used in a while. I got one of the Spectrum Collection brushes a few months ago in a Birchbox and was so impressed, I still use that brush every single day without fail so I was excited to try out some of the eye brushes.

Makeup Eraser Review

I had been wanting to try the Makeup Eraser for a while now, ever since Tiffany D spoke about it in one of her videos. I have always struggled to remove all of my makeup in one go so I finally decided to give the Makeup Eraser a try. I was so interested to see if this actually works because it can save me a tonne of money on cleansers in the long run!

July 2016 Degustabox

It's my favourite time of the month again - it's Degustabox time! A quick run down if you haven't heard about Degustabox before, it is a food/drink/anything delicious subscription box when each month you recieve a surprise box of goodies! If you have never tried Degustabox before, as always I have an amazing discount code at the end for a huge £7 off! I must say that this is such a good box this month, one of my favourite ones so far!
