Georgia Ruby fashion and beauty

It's that time of year where the sun is starting to shine and the British summer is starting to appear, when the sun comes out so does the summer wardrobe. Looking through my wardrobe I thought it could do with a bit of a revamp so recently I went to Liberty in Romford in search for the perfect summer look and I didn't return disappointed. Liberty has so many different shops under one roof so you could never leave empty handed. you don't have to break the bank to find the perfect outfit I got the whole look for less than £100.00

I went for a look that was classic but yet still on trend. My look is quite safe but still has some key trends featured within in it and I'm personally really happy with it. It is very me, pretty and girly.

The key trend I went for was gingham. I absolutely love gingham its so classic and so easy to accessorise with. I went for gingham dress with embroidered detail. it just looks so pretty on and its so easy to wear. This particular item was in the petite section which is perfect for me as I only stand at 5ft 1. The dress cost only £29.99 from New look and it could easily be dressed up or down but on this occasion I went for a more casual look.

The summer in the uk can be a bit rubbish, although this dress looks great on it's own a jacket might come in handy. I went for original style denim jacket. I love denim jackets I bring mine out every summer. I just love the look of dresses with a denim jacket on top. I got my denim jacket from H&M For £29.99. I will be definitely pairing this item with other dresses or playsuits this summer too.

Now on to shoes , I again went very classic with plain white pumps as the dress has quite a lot of detail and I didn't feel it needed a statement pair of shoes. the pumps look so cute but effortless. these shoes were from H&M and cost only £12.99 I also saw simular shoes in River Island and topshop while at Liberty in Romford.

Now onto accessorises. now I didn't go mad with jewellery i just brought one small gold necklace with an anchor on it. I felt the neck line needed a little something but I didn't want to over think the look as they say less is more. I got my anchor necklace at H&M and it only cost £3.99. No look would be complete without a handbag, as I said I was going for a casual look and I can across the cutest white mini backpack and I had to get it. it wasn't something I pictured with the outfit but I love it never the less. The backpack was from River island it was reduced to £15.00 and there was still a few left so if want one get yourself down to Liberty.

I hope you like the look I created. The main thing is I absolutely love it and feel great in this outfit.

I'm a massive fan of candles, i love how they look when there burning and obviously the aroma from them! Candles make me feel so relaxed whether there around my bath when I'm having a soak or in the living room when I'm winding down and reading a book. I always used to go for jar candles as they last ages and look lovely but I've recently discovered wax tarts and tart burners and oh god I'm never going back.

I got my tart burner in the January sales for £5 with tart melts and I just love it. I find the secnts are so much stronger from the tart burner than the jar candles, it really fills the whole room.

I love with tart burners that the tarts are so inexpensive usually less than £1.50 each meaning you can try so many difference scents. As much as jar candles are great as they last long I do find I get bored of the scents after a while. Wax tarts let you experiment and find the scents you love, if you brought one and it's not for you it's only £1.50 out your pocket unlike jar candles which can cost up to £20.

Most of the wax tarts I've got at moment are Christmas ones. I've really been loving Snowflake cookie and sparkling cinnamon spice. Slightly out of season I know but it's still winter so it's ok haha.

You do have to by tealights to melt the wax tarts which is a slight exspence but I got a pack of 100 from Asda for £2 and I think they will last me a while.

Overall I love my tart burner and can't wait to try out different scented tarts! If you love candles I'd recommend a tart burner I've never looked back!

So I popped into Superdrug and was having a butchers at the makeup stands and found myself looking at MUA. It's such an affordable brand and I have loved many of the products that I've tried such as there pressed powder and eyebrow kit. I found myself looking at there lipsticks and at only a pound each I couldn't resist to try a couple!

I pick up the shade lilac bell and the shade totally nude as I thought I'd try something I'd usually wear and something out of my comfort zone. I've never worn a purple lipstick before but I've got to say I rather liked it. I'm not gunna sugar coat this post the lipsticks were so cheap so the quality isn't going to exceptional.

First thing I noticed is there is a wide selection of colours in Matt and glossy. Nothing worse when you find a great lipstick and the rest of the shades are pants. They aren't very pigmented, although the colour is buildable. The nude lipstick is said to be a dupe of velvet teddy and I have to say it's not far off, the colour is very similar but the texture isn't so creamy.

The texture of the lipsticks are quite dry and almost chalky but if you prep your lips before application it won't be a problem. I suffer with dry lips and it wasn't too much of an issue.

I think these lipsticks are great if your just starting out with makeup and want to have a play around or for younger makeup lovers who just want to get there hands on proper makeup. To be honest you could make up a good starter makeup bag with MUA products at a very low cost.

Overall I think these lipsticks are good for the price and if your new to the makeup world I'd recommend you give them a try. I'm still a MAC lipstick girl but it's great to try new things!

You may or may not know that as well as a blogger I'm a YouTuber I upload beauty and fashion videos weekly my channel is Georgiarubyybeauty. Up until Christmas I just filmed on my iPhone but I was very lucky and my boyfriend brought me the Sony cybershot WX500 camera.

I'm absolutely loving using this camera I've found it's brilliant for taking photos and filming videos. My favourite feature is the filp up screen it's great when I'm filming or for taking a cheeky selfie! I'm no expert when it comes to cameras and there's so many features I haven't used but I can say it's great for beginners I've found it so easy to use. I find the quality of my photos and videos are great ( I'm no photographer but it's great for YouTube and Instagram pictures etc)

There's an app called play memories where you can wirelessly send photos to your smartphone or tablet which is brilliant if you want to upload to social media or send it on. The app is also very user friendly. The last camera I had I had to upload everything to my laptop and it just meant photos just got left and forgotten about but with this app this never happens.

One thing I would change is the video recording button, it's not the same one you use to take the pictures with and it's quite fiddly to find but it's not a massive issue I just edit the beginning of the video out.

One slight negative, I'm not sure if all current camera are the same but I couldn't take any photos or videos without a memory card which I found slightly strange but this issue is easily solved with a memory card.

This camera retails at around £299 and i think it is worth every penny. Overall I'm really enjoying using this camera and I'm so greatful that my boyfriend brought it for me. I highly recommend it for bloggers, youtubers and for everyday photo takers!

I'm not usually one for high end makeup I tend to find you can find a cheaper alternative which is just as good but after trying they're real mascara I will never go back. It's high end but there isn't a huge price tag. There's only about £7 difference between there're real mascara and my favourite high street mascara.

I love the wand of the they're real mascara it coats every lash leaving your lashes looking longer and fuller. The mascara itself is really long lasting and doesn't smudge or crumble.

They're real really is the second best thing next to false lashes it really does do what it saids on the bottle.

I'm quite lucky having dark and thick hair, I have quite good lashes to work with but my mum and sister in law are obviously older and are both a lot fairer than me and they're real still works wonders for there lashes. We all love Benefit as a brand.

Overall I love this mascara, I would recommend it to anyone and I can't wait to try more Benefit products

As were at the start of a new year I thought I'd tell you all what products I really loved this past year! These are the sort of products that I never get bored of using and are my "holy grail" if you like.

1|| Nivea soft - I have so much love for this moisturiser, nothing matches up to it for me! I'm tried so many high end and highstreet moisturisers and nothing has lived up to it. Nivea soft is a real all rounder I use it on my face, hands, feet and everywhere in between. Nivea soft is ultra moisturising without being greasy and soaks in quickly. I could go on and on about Nivea soft but to sum up it's amazing!

2|| velvet teddy lipstick by MAC - Velvet teddy has been my all time favourite lipstick since I discovered it this year. It's the perfect nude and since buying it a day has barely gone by without me wearing it. I love Matt lipsticks but I usually find them quite drying but not velvet teddy it's so creamy and goes on like a dream! This lipstick will be my go to lippy for the forceable future,

3|| Collection lasting perfection concealer - I couldn't believe how good this concealer is for the price, it's better that many high end ones I have used. It's brilliant for covering dark circles and skin imperfections without creasing or looking too cakey. I find the shades are brilliant, I'm super pale and the lightest shade is perfect for me. I use this consealer everyday and it's not coming out my makeup bag anytime soon!

4|| Mitchum deodorant - Not sure if his is really beauty related but I had to mention this product. This deodorant leaves me feeling ultra dry and fresh all day long what ever the weather. I'm not an overly sweaty person but I just love how clean this deodorant makes me feel. I also love the baby powder scent it's so fresh and long lasting without being overpowering.

5|| Nivea cashmere moments shower cream - this shower gel smells and feels so luxurious but you can usually find it on offer for just a pound! Many shower gels dry out my skin but this one leaves my skin feeling like silk. I find a little goes a long way so the bottle lasts forever, what more could you ask for a pound!

These are the products I loved in 2016 please comment below any of yours, also keep an eye out on YouTube for a video which will go into more detail and feature another wonderful youtubers top beauty products of 2016!

I'm so excited to be doing my first Christmas post of the year! I know it's only October but I thought sod it! A lot of new products and ranges are out so I thought I would share with what beauty products are on my Christmas list!

1\\ Makeup revolutions 12 days of Christmas chest - I really love this brand and this set is such great value! Brilliant if your new to makeup or want to build your collection.

2\\ Morphe fall into frost palette- this palette is just beautiful, perfect colours for the winter. I haven't tried any Morphe products yet but I've heard such good things about Morphe and I can't wait to give them a go.

3\\ Too faced melted matte lipstick in the shade candy cane - I can't but help love a gimmick, it's scented like candy canes. It's also such a beautiful shade of red, Perfect for the festive season.

4\\ sleek mini Matt me hoilday set - I love sleek lip products and this set is such good value for money at just £5! There only mini size but I always think mini products are great for your handbag.

5\\ soap and glory the whole glam lot- if your familiar with this set soap and glory do one simular every year, it's there biggest gift set and comes with so many goodies! It usually goes on offer at Boots over Christmas and you get so much for your money! Comes with everything from bath products to skincare products.

6\\ LUSH sweet Christmas set - I love lush products specially the snow fairy range and this set is full of snow fairy goodies. You can't go wrong with a lush bath set at Christmas. Who doesn't love a long hot bath in the winter?

So those are the items on my Christmas list! What beauty goodies will you be asking for this year?

when the weather starts to get colder and the nights draw in there are certain beauty products i can't live without. I love this time of the year but i dont like what it does to my skin and hair. so i thought i would share with you the products that get me through the chiller months.

Hand cream - i'm really bad for leaving the house without gloves so i find my hands can get dry and chapped. Hand cream helps to restore the moisture i have lost and helps soothe them when there feeling sore. My favourite hand cream has to be soap and glory's hand food, it smells amazing and does a brillant job.

lip balm- in the winter my lips get so sore and tend to crack, im a lover of matt lispsticks and these two things just don't go together! i tend to apply lipbalm before applying lipstick and then top it up during the day when my lips start to feel dry. My favourite lip balms are Avon's Royal jelly lip treatment ( which I mentioned on my YouTube channel in my Avon haul) and Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream.

Face cream - the cold wind tends to leave my face feeling tight and dry so I make sure I use a good face cream twice a day. A face cream I've been loving at the moment is Garnier's soft essentials 24hr hydrating day cream. It's really moisturising without feeling too heavy.

These are the products I can't live without in the Autumn/Winter months. What are your essentials for this time of year?

Hi guys here are some tips to help you towards clearer skin! They defiantly helped my skin and I hope they will help yours too! Little disclaimer I'm not saying these tips will make your skin pixel perfect but they might help, everyone's skin is different so I can't say for definite you will see a change. But never the less I hope you enjoy this post.

Tip 1// always take your makeup off at night - leaving your makeup on overnight can cause havoc to your skin . Your skin needs time to breathe and the makeup can block your pores leading to spots, blackheads etc

Tip 2// make sure you wash your makeup brushes regularly- makeup brushes can be a breeding ground for bacteria and this can cause infections and can cause your skin to breakout

Tip 3// keep hydrated! It's amazing the difference I see my skin when I drink plenty of water. When I feel dehydrated my skin does too.

Tip 4// Eat clean - having a healthy and balanced diet can help keep your skin at bay. Everything is fine in moderation but too much fatty and sugary foods can lead to breakouts

Tip 5// Always remember the spf - keeping your skin protected from the sun is so important it's helps against premature aging and stops your skin from drying out. It's so easy to do as many moisturisers and foundations contain spf.

I hope you've enjoyed this post and find these tips helpful will be back soon guys xoxo

Honestly as a little girl I had lots of play makeup and as I got older I pinched some of my mums. I remember using a powder foundation and mascara when I first started wearing makeup properly but I can't remember what brands they were.

2// Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?

I love a mascara that makes my lashes look really long and dark. I hate when mascaras flake and smudge so it would have to be one that stays put. Benefit have some amazing mascaras and I would say roller lash fits the bill.

3// what kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation?

Such great quality.

7// Do you wear fake eyelashes?

Not so much now but I did wear them every weekend back in my clubbing days!

8// is there any kind of makeup you can't leave the house without?

I rarely leave the house without a full face of makeup. The only exception is if I'm going to the spa or swimming. If I had to choose one item I would say foundation I'm so pale without it.

9// what is you most cherished beauty product?

Probably my sleek contour palette it just transforms your face.

10// How often do you shop for makeup? Do you like to pick up an item here and there or get lots of goodies at once?

It depends I do love a haul every now and again! But generally I pick up my holy grail products and a few newbies accidentally fall into my basket.

11// Do you have a "beauty budget" or spend freely?

I'm trying to budget generally as my boyfriend and I are saving to move out but I just treat myself now and again. I don't have a set budget for beauty.

I try my best to! I always use my Superdrug and Boots cards when I shop there.

13// What type of product do you buy the most of?

Lipsticks, I love Matt lipsticks particularly and I'm still trying to find " the one"

14// Is there a brand that you absolutely can't stand?

I'm not a huge fan of bare minerals none of there products have wowed me

15// Do you avoid certain ingredients in cosmetics like parbens or sulfates?

I can't say I do maybe I should start watching out for them.

16// Do you have a favourite place to shop for makeup?

Superdrug or boots for drugstore products or if I'm having a splurge probably Debenhams.

17// Do you like trying new skincare products or do you keep a certain routine?

I like trying new products but I always go back to my holy grail skin care products. I can't find any face moisturizer that is as good as Nivea soft! Even high end products like Clarins haven't compared.

18// Favourite bath and body brand?

I love soap and glory my collection is forever growing and I do love a lush bath bomb.

Benefit I love there products, I've highly rated every product I've used of there's so I wouldn't mind only using there products.

20// What brand do you think has the best packaging?

As I said earlier I love Benefit packaging, its so pretty and I do love how chic Mac makeup looks.

21// Which Celeb always has great makeup?

Cheryl and any of the Kardashians

22// Do you belong to any online makeup communities

I belong to a Facebook group called Mrs gloss and the goss and it's brilliant.

23// Do you like multinational products like lip and cheek stains?

Not really i think there more of a gimmick than anything and you end up using them on either one or the other.

24//Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?

i like to think ive got better but if i'm a rush sometimes my makeup goes pear shaped!

25// Do you use makeup base/primer for your eyes?

i use the Urban Decay primer potion its keeps my eye makeup in place all day and night.

26//How many hair products do you use on a typical day?

Depends on the style of my hair usually i use a Tresseme heat protection spray and an Elvive hair oil.

28//Do you ever consider taking makeup classes?

Defiantly i would love to learn more about Makeup!

29// What do you love about makeup?

I love how confident it can make you feel. i love how you can accentuate your best features and hide your least favorites

I hope you enjoyed reading that tag and much as ive enjoyed writing it! i tag Familyhomeproject to give it a go!

I never used to do anything with my eyebrows other than wax or pluck them. I'm very dark haired and my brows are pretty much black so I never thought there was much point in filling them in.One day I let my friend have a play around with my brows and oh my god I've never looked back,drawing them in makes such a difference to your whole face!

To do my brows I use to mua pro brow palette. The palette contains two eyebrow shades, a wax, a highlighter, an eyebrow brush and tweezers. Everything you need to do your brows!

I love the darkest shade in palette it's a brilliant match for my dark brows. I couldn't find a dark enough match anywhere until I found this palette. I find the eyebrow powder applies easily and blends perfectly.

I don't tend to use to brush or tweezers in the kit if I'm honest as I have other ones I prefer but the ones provided are more than useable.

The setting wax is brilliant and keeps every hair in place. The only down side I found with this product was the highlighter. The shade is far to dark for me but I guess it's a given if you buy the darkest shade palette they will assume you have darker skin. Never the less I love this brow palette and just use a different highlighter.

Overall I really love this palette it has everything you need for your brows, down to a mirror so you can do them on the go. This product offers so much and retails at only £3.99 what more could you ask for?

There's so many beauty related things that I wanna do so I thought I would compose a beauty bucket Iist and keep you updated as I tick them off.

My Beauty bucket list

- get HD brows

- get a tattoo

- nail winged eyeliner

- get my makeup done perfessionally

- learn how to French Braid

- make homemade face/hair mask

- purchase the Estée Lauder makeup collection set at Christmas

- find the perfect Matt lipstick

- find the perfect mousse/product for my curly hair

- buy a mason Pearson hairbrush

So that's my beauty bucket list, hopefully I'll complete these goals throughout the year and I'm sure i will find more to add to my list along the way.

My perents best friends got married in Cyprus last month and they had a wedding party for those who didn't make it abroad. I thought you might like to see what I wore for there special day.

My dress is by lispy London and I purchased it from Next online. I love the collar as it looks like your wearing a statement necklace. I teamed my dress with traditional nude heels from Barratt and a clutch bag that I received at a gift.

The jewellery I wore with my dress were my pandora bracelet, rings and silver hoop earrings from peococks

I felt really lovely in this outfit. I will link my dress below http://m.next.co.uk/gl61160s14#l42429

When your off to a festival or camping you still want to look and feel at your best. It's hard to keep up with your skin care routine in a tent but there's plenty other alternatives. I'm gunna share with you a few products that will keep you feeling fresh and beautiful. I know myself if i don't feel nice I don't enjoy myself.

Baby wipes - I can't stress how useful they are! there Brilliant for removing makeup, having a quick wash or even to clean something up. There so inexpensive and so multi purpose.

Dry shampoo - as a women I know washing and drying your hair isn't the easiest of tasks especially if your camping. Dry shampoo is a lifesaver! Brilliant to freshen up your hair when you can't wash it as often as you would like.

Water proof Makeup - if your at a festival in the uk it's most likely to rain at some point and you don't want your mascara sliding down your face!

Bright makeup you forgot about - all those bright eyeshadows and lippy's your afraid to use everyday, get them out and experiment! Festivals are a perfect place to try out bright and colouring makeup looks. No one will bat an eye lid!

Spf/sun cream - there's nothing worst than getting burnt! So protect your skin and lips with plenty of sun screen. P20 is great as one application will keep you protected all day.

Medical bag - whenever I go away abroad or just away for the weekend in the uk I always chuck my medical bag in my case. My medical bag has many items in it such as plasters, bite cream, paracetamol, Imodium, savalon and bonjela. I'm a rather have it and not need it kind of person.Trust me it comes in handy when someone has a cut or a headache.

Hi guys just a quick post! I've recently started a YouTube channel my username is Georgiarubyybeauty, please go check it out :) it's very similar to my blog all things beauty and fashion!

I'm a completely novice so be easy with me! Haha

Xoxo

I'm really sorry I don't blog often enough! When working full time it's hard to find the time but I did manage to finish this post even if it meant typing it up on my lunch hour and finishing it at 6am the next day before work. Anyway I'm gunna get to it!

I've heard a lot of good things about Rimmel's 25 hour foundation and I had to give it a go. It's such a reasonable price at around £7.99. I thought for £7.99 surely it can't do everything it claims? But I was so wrong!

Rimmel 25 hour foundation is now my go to foundation, it has a very build able coverage so it's perfect for the daytime or the evening and it gives such a flawless finish. The foundation really does last ( maybe not 25 hours) but It still looks pretty much the same when I take my makeup off at the end of the day, without topping it up at all. There's also a large colour range too which is great and there's even one that's light enough for my Casper like skin!

One slightly annoying thing is the packaging it's hard to get to the last bit of product out of the bottle. It's always gunna be a problem with a glass bottle. It looks lovely don't get me wrong but when the pump stops working and you know there's foundation left, You will find yourself scrapping the bottle with a cotton bud or a makeup brush to attempt to get the last of it out.

Overall it's a great foundation. I really do enjoy using it and it's always great when products you love doesnt break the bank!

I've got naturally curly hair and it took me years to find they right products to tame it. within minutes of straightening it would go flicky,frizzy and it drove me crazy! i'm sure many of you curly haired girls can relate! it got the point that i thought no serum or shampoo would make a difference then i discovered these products and tips.

i wash my hair with TRESemme keratin smooth 7 day smooth system shampoo and conditioner. they leave my hair feeling so silky smooth and really do make a difference when i dry and straighten my hair. I find them better than any salon brands ive used. Once ive towel dried my hair i brush it through and use Tresemme keratin smooth 7 day smooth system heat protection spray and run Elvive smooth intense serum through the ends of my hair. I then proceed to blow dry and straighten my hair. i find these products teamed together gives me smooth and straight hair that lasts all day.

a few tips ive found that help to achieve a smooth and straight finish on my hair are

- use good quality straighteners such as GHD's they really make a difference

- dry and straighten your hair in sections

- make sure your hair is completely dry before straightening to avoid frizz

- blowdry your hair as straight as possible so it makes the straightening less hard work.

- leave your hair natural now and again to keep your hair in good condition and to give it a rest.

everyone's hair is different and i can't guarantee these tips and products will work for you but they really helped me and i hope they will for you!

Soap and glory has been the one of my favourite brands for years and I've tried a fair share of there products.There's such a huge selection of there products these days it can be quite over welming to choose from, so I thought I would write this post and give you a heads up on which soap and glory products I like the most.

Peaches and clean face wash - I love this face wash it melts away all my makeup and leaves my face feeling so soft and clean. I find this face wash so moisturising unlike many face washes which have left my face feeling tight. The scent of peaches of clean is lovely so fresh and fruity. This face wash was part of my skin care routine for ages until quite recently and I would happily use it again I just fancied a change.

Sugar crush whipped body cream - this moisturiser is brilliant when your skin is feeling dehydrated it's so rich and moisturising, despite being a rich moisturiser it sinks it quite quickly and doesn't leave you sticky. The scent of sugar crush is quite unusual, it's citrusy and I personally think a bit like marmite you'll either love it or hate it. I personally love it, sweet scents are nice but I love refreshing sharper scents too. A little goes a long way with this moisturiser so even though it's a bit more expensive than your average body cream it really does last you.

Scrub your nose in it - when I have a pamper night I love a face mask or scrub and this is brilliant as its a two in one. It's great at reducing pores, blackheads and makes a noticeable difference after just one treatment. Overall brilliant scrub that does the job but isn't to harsh on the skin.

Hand food - in the winter I really suffer with dry cracked hands and find hand food is amazing at rescuing them. It's sinks it quickly which is brilliant for working hands and leaves them moisturised for hours. You can also purchase a travel sized version which is great for your handbag or to trial out.

Heel genius- when you get your sandals out and realise your feet need some tlc heel genius is the foot cream to go for. I tend to apply this in the evening, put cotton socks over the top and leave them until the morning then I wake up to soft supple feet. The scent of heel genius is minty and leaves your feet feeling lovely and fresh.

Soap and glory continue to bring out amazing products and I can't wait try out more!

It's getting towards the summer season in the uk that we've all been waiting for! As it gets sunnier and hotter I like to change up my beauty products a bit and I thought I'd share with you my must have products for the summer.

Foundation with spf - I'm rather pale, I burn easily and I hate normal sun cream or my face it just makes my face feel greasy. Instead of cream I use Rimmel London's 25 hour foundation it gives an amazing Matt coverage, it's long lasting and protects your skin.

Vaseline - I know this is is a very basic product but the sun tends to dry out my lips and Vaseline really helps to restore the moisture they have lost.

Dove summer sun- when you get your dresses and shorts out the pasty legs have to go! Dove summer sun gives a lovely natural glow after a few applications. It's great because its buildable you could have a natural glow from 1 or 2 applications perhaps for an event or you could apply daily religiously for a bronzed deeper tan.

well those are a few products that I find are must haves in the summer! What are yours?

This post is going to be all about my favourite budget beauty buys, I'm always on the hunt for cheap hidden treasures! Why pay more than you have to?

The first product I've been loving is the simple's moisturising face wash, this face wash leaves my skin feeling moisturised, refreshed and removes even waterproof makeup .I love that simple products are so natural and not harsh on the skin. The simple face wash Retails at around £2 and is quite often on offer for cheaper! Such a bargain and really does what is saids on the tube!

The next budget product is MUA's setting powder, it only costs a pound and Since I've used it I've never had so many compliments on my makeup! It's sets my makeup beautifully and gives a flawless finish. It's honestly as good as the high end powders I've used!

I couldn't not mention my all time favourite concealer, collections lasting perfection concealer, it's amazing! It great for blemishes, dark circles and unlike many concealer it doesn't crease! It's better than many high end concealers I've tried and at around £3.99 it's a bargain!

The last product I'm going to mention is the dove intensive repair shampoo and conditioner. I have thick,dry and curly hair and I struggle to tame it! The dove shampoo and conditioner are amazing for the price, they leave my hair soft and fizz free! I couldn't recommend it more. They retail at around £1.99 each and are better than ones I've payed £10.00 for!

Those are a few of my favourites I didn't want to bore you with too many! But if you'd like to see another post like this comment below!
