The Body Shop Haul

Hi everyone,
So I have picked up a few things from The Body Shop recently that I thought I would share with you all. These products have been raved about by a few youtubers which is the reason I decided to give them ago.
So I picked up the Camomile sumptuous cleansing butter (£12.00), the Seaweed ionic clay mask (£13.00) and the All-In-One instablur universal (£14.00).
I believe I got 30% off so instead of paying £39.00 I only payed £27.30. A pretty good deal if you ask me.

Honestly these products have not disappointed me one bit. I use the camomile cleansing butter every night without fail, I am in love. I prefer to take my makeup off with this now instead of using my Garnier Micellar cleansing water, or makeup wipes. I think it is very gentle on the skin and leaves it feeling so soft. I didn't realise how big the product was, you actually get quite a decent amount. The product lasts a really long time, but honestly even if it only lasted a week I would repurchase.

Moving onto the Seaweed ionic clay mask, I use this product twice a week. I cannot fault this product, I use it in the areas I tend to get excess oil, as it claims to control excess oil. Again this product lasts a long time, as it's not a clay mask I use all over my face. I tend to put the mask on my t-zone, chin and a little on my cheeks. It's a product I have heard Gabriella mention, (Velvet Gh0st) take a look at her blog and youtube channel if you haven't already.

The All-In-One Instablur Universal. This is a product I have heard Gabriella rave about. Honestly I haven't had chance to use this product yet as I have been trying to use up other products as I am constantly wasting to many beauty products, but as soon as I have a chance to use this a few times I will let you know how I get on.

I'm back

Hi, I'm back!

I have finally decided to get back into blogging. I have spare time and nothing at all to do in the evenings. I haven't been blogging since march; so please be patient as I am just getting back into this.
 I have missed blogging and every time I purchase new beauty products I just want to blog about them. I have also been watching a lot of youtubers lately and would love to get into the youtube life. But right now I am sticking with blogging.

I am currently a few months away from qualifying as a nursery nurse, but I have a real passion for beauty. So I am hopefully going to be blogging as much as possible. I am really looking forward to showing you guys my recent purchases, and for you guys to just get to know me a little bit more.

Cute storage haul

Just lately I have noticed that I am wanting to keep my room nice and organised ( I am so unorganised it is unreal!) But I was willing to give it ago, this meant I needed supplies. I decided to purchase a new makeup brush holder, I had an idea of what I wanted but I just didn't have a clue what shop it was from. I had seen many other bloggers and youtubers with the same the particular pot. So I did a bit of research (that mainly involved me asking me mum) and found the exact thing I was looking for. It was actually a plant pot from IKEA. You probably now know which one I am talking about. I just thought it was super cute and would look perfect in my room. For £2 you cannot go wrong. They also sell smaller versions which I think I am going to pick up very soon as these pots are quite big as you can probably tell from the images and they aren't ideal for me as my makeup brush collection is only just starting out. I picked up two of these, one for makeup brushes and the other for hair brushes.


I then thought about other cute storage ideas that I thought would look great in my room. I decided to take a trip to B&M with my friend a few weekends ago now just for a general look around. I found some really cute little that look lovely in my room. I found some little jars that come in different colours, the quality of them is brilliant to say they were only 99p, honestly you cannot go wrong with these. I had an idea of putting hair grips in one and bobbles in the other. I got two in pink for my hair bits and a clear coloured jar. I thought different coloured sweets would look perfect in this particular jar. There were a few different colours and all of them looked lovely.

I found another plant pot surprise surprise which of course I didn't intend to put plants in. I put a few products in that I use on a regular basis. This week I have my heat protection spray and my blow drying lotion in there. I just think that it was an essential really for storing different bits and bobs. Next time I may put lip balms in as I have quite a collection growing. I believe this was either 99p again or possibly £1.99 but again very cheap for the quality.

These are all things you could use for a variety of different reasons, they are very girly and very cute and would look perfect in almost every room.

MUA eye shadow palette review

I love certain MUA products in particular their eye shadow palettes. I think that MUA do some lovely eye shadow colours and the palettes at just £4.00 are an absolute bargain. Granted they obviously don't stay on all day and all night, however for a night out or just for a day trip I think they're perfect. 

I was never one for eye shadow and therefor my collection isn't very big. But since I got the MUA palettes I have been experimenting a lot more with different colours, and I am starting to understand what goes with what and which brushes to use. My brush collection for eye shadow is pathetic to say the least. I didn't want to invest a lot of money in lots of brushes if I wasn't going to be a fan of eye shadow. But now I am feeling much more confident with trying different colours out I am hoping to start to build up my collection of eye brushes. 

If you are like me unsure of how eye shadow is going to look and whether quite frankly you can ever be bothered to spend the time applying eye shadow I would definitely purchase one of the MUA eye palettes. Even if you love eye shadow I think these palettes are essential, the colours are so pretty. However if you are one for matte eye shadows it probably isn't worth you purchasing or trying out the MUA palettes as there maybe one or two colours in the whole palette that have a matte finish.

The palettes I currently own are:
-Undress me too
-Heaven and earth
-Undressed

I am hoping to get the 'pretty pastels' palette ready for the summer months, as I think there are some lovely colours in this particular palette which would look lovely with the right summer outfit.

I find I have to put quite a lot on my brush for it to have any affect. I also do not use a primer so my eye shadow doesn't last very long. However with the right eye primer I think the eye shadows may actually last a while on your face.

The undressed and undress me too are the dupe of 'urban decay palettes' and honestly I cannot complain for the price. As much as I would love to purchase the urban decay palette I just can't justify spending that much money for the amount of times I wear eye shadow. So these palettes are perfect for me.

I honestly would recommend you try the MUA eye shadow palette, I do not think you would regret adding one of the palettes to your collection.
