Autumn/Winter beauty essentials!

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?





5 tips for clearer skin!

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 


The beauty TAG!

Hi guys I saw a few bloggers have done this tag and I thought it would be fun to give it a go! So let's get to it.

1// Do you remember your first makeup item?

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?

I prefer a medium to heavy coverage as if it's to light I don't find it lasts the day.

4// Favourite high end brand?

I love Benefit I am yet to be disappointed by on of there products and there packaging is so cute!

5// What cosmetic brand have you always wanted to try but still haven't? 

Chanel and hourglass, there products look amazing and I've heard such good things about them.

6//  Favouite drugstore brand 

Ah there's so many! If I had to choose one id say Rimmel. There products are so affordable and
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. 

12// Do you utilize coupons, reward cards and sales when you shop for cosmetics?

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.

19// if you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose 

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.

27//What do you apply first foundation or concealer

I always apply foundation first because it somewhat covers your imperfections, you then you can judge how much and where concealer is really needed.

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!





MUA pro bro palette review!

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?
