Zoella Sweet Inspirations

Hello again! This post today is going to be dedicated to the very exciting, new beauty range that Zoella has brought out. I was very lucky to have received two items from the range for my birthday from my amazing friends. The first product that I chose to try was the bath latte. 

The first thing that I found striking about the range was the amount of effort that was put into the packaging of all of the products. The products all have an art deco feel to them and are beautiful. I love the rose gold top of the milk bottle shaped bath latte. It can be used as either a bubble bath or body wash and I tried using it both ways. The fragrance of the latte is wonderful and stays on your skin after washing which is always a bonus! It created lovely bubbles and is overall a lovely product. I will be reviewing the Bath Fizzer Bar next on my blog.

Feel free to leave any comments.

FEBRUARY BIRCHBOX 2016

I had a 50% code for Birchbox due to being a student from UniDays so decided to re-subscribe to Birchbox for the month as their February box looked fab! If you don't know what Birchbox is, it is a monthly beauty subscription box where you receive 5/6 samples/full size products. It's a fun way to discover new products without paying the full price, try before you buy! This was the box this month and what was inside.

Inside my box I received a full size Spectrum Tapered Finishing brush, the Doux Me Comforting Scrub Mask, the Loc Shadow Stick in I think shade champagne, Number 4 Lumiere d'Hiver Super Comb Prep & Protect and the Cochine body lotion. I loved all of these products and thought that they were superb! I particularly love the Spectrum brush and will definitely be investing in the others that are available. The scrub mask lived up to its name and was definitely comforting and I've been wearing the bobble ever since I opened the box!

I would definitely reccommend signing up to Birchbox, and you can sign up at www.birchbox.co.uk, and if you're a member of UniDays you can get 50% of your first box!

RETURNING TO UNI

RETURNING TO UNI

This post is slightly late and a bit different to what I normally write but I really wanted to write a post about this so here we go! So, I returned to university on the 31st January to start my next semester. I really struggle going back to uni and find it so difficult living away from home so I try and make going back as nice as it can possibly be by buying nice things to make my time there as good as it can be.

This was actually a Christmas present from my Nanna and Grandad. I absolutely love Yankee Candles and think they make a room so much more homely and give a great ambiance. I haven't tried the Black Cherry one just yet but love the smell. I always have a Yankee Candle in my room, and have nearly used up all of the Season of Peace one. 

I bought these notebooks from Wilkinsons, as I needed 3 new ones as I do 3 different modules per semester. I love the designs of these and they weren't very costly as some similar journal style notebooks can be. They were from the Botanica range which can be found HERE!

 

I obviously had to take my bag of goodies back with me! I filled my Soap and Glory toiletries bag that I bought before Christmas with all my new toiletries from Christmas. I'm pretty much set for the rest of the year now.

And finally, it wouldn't be uni unless I had to buy a ton of new books that I have to read. I study English Literature so have to read a lot of books each semester.

Hope you enjoyed this post, has anyone else just gone back to uni? Feel free to leave any comments.

NYE PREP: GRWM

NYE PREP: GRWM

This is going to be a bit of a different post to what I normally write but I thought it would be fun to do a post about how I will be getting ready for NYE which is tomorrow! { If you like this sort of post you will have to let me know in the comments below! (that sort of rhymed...)}

So to begin with I'm going to run myself a bubble bath with Radox bubble bath (if you would like any reviews of the products mentioned in this post just let me know and I will do a seperate post)

Then I'm going to cleanse my face with my absolutely favourite face wash of all time... the Bare Minerals Purifying Facial Cleanser

Now because I'm going to be fake tanning after the bath I'm going to exfoliate with a loofa (I have no clue how you spell that word or even pronounce it??)

Once I've exfoliated with the pink thing/ loofa thing, I'm going to use the 'Scrub of your Life' by Soap and Glory to remove the last of my scales.

Now I'm done with bathing, once I get out the bath I'm going to use 'the righteous butter' by Soap and Glory to make sure my skin is super soft.

And I can't neglect my feet... so I'm going to use the fabulous 'heel genius' for those, it works wonders on them and prepares them for a night of wearing high heels.

I apologise for the terrible quality of this photo!

Now on to tanning. I have very pale skin so struggle with tanning products however after years of trying different products I have finally found the Holy Grail of the tanning world (I think so anyway) and it all costs under £5! I will first be using the Skin Deep Self Tanning Wipes followed by the Garnier Summer Body Moisturising Lotion.

I will be doing a seperate review of these tanning products, with pictures of the results following application soon. 

Moving on to nails, I'm going to give them a fresh paint and juzz (is that a word?) a bit for New Year. The polishes that I will be using are by Rimmel followed by a glitter coat by Barry M.

And finally, I'm going to pop two rollers in my fringe to curl it! Thanks for reading my post, it's been slightly longer than usual so I hope I didn't bore you all too much. As mentioned previously, if there are any products you want more information about or reviewing individually let me know in the comment section below! I hope you all have a wonderful 2016 :)
