World Duty Free Top Picks

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of year again when everyone is jetting off on their summer holiday's, and what better way to kick start your holiday than with a few cheeky purchases from World Duty Free! Being the makeup and beauty lover I am I literally cant wait to check out duty free when I go away so today I thought I'd share with you all 3 of my top picks ranging from high end to drugstore!

First up is the L'Oreal Travel Exclusive Festival Fun Set* which is £23.20. Within this set you get the Mega Volume Miss Hippie Mascara, the Infallible Eyeliner in Black and the Infallible Mega Gloss in the shade All Night Long which is a pretty glitzy pink colour, the set then comes complete with a pink pouch perfect for storing makeup essentials in your handbag/travel bag. I've been giving all three products within this set a whirl and I have to say I've been obsessed, my favourite has to be the Miss Hippie Mascara, this creates the most amazing volume and thickness to my lashes whilst also looking feathery and fluttery, it lasts amazingly well too without any flaking, smudging or running. The Infallible Eyeliner is great on the waterline but can also create the most amazing smoky eye with it's smudger tool at the end of the pencil and the lip gloss is perfect for finishing off any look without being thick or sticky.

Fragrances are always a popular choice whilst shopping in duty free and I can never resist those miniature sets which brings me onto The Jimmy Choo Miniatures Collection* which is £34.00. This set features five gorgeous smelling perfumes which are all individually boxed and packaged in replicas of their full sized bottles, their soooo cute and the perfect size for travelling because they are super lightweight and wont take up much room at all within your luggage. Within the set theres two 4.5ml bottles of Jimmy Choo Illicit, two 4.5ml bottles of Jimmy Choo Eau De Parfum and one 4.5ml bottle of Jimmy Choo Eau De Toilette.  

Lastly I have the Clinque Pep-Start Eye Cream* which is £18.30. This is one amazing eye cream that I'm thoroughly enjoying using, it hydrates, smooths and brightens up the eye area and works so well in the mornings as it instantly perks my eye area up because of its cooling sensation and gets rid of any puffiness too. I'd highly recommend picking this one up if your on the market for a new eye cream.

You can find all of these products and sets plus so much more at World Duty Free - HERE

February Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... Monthly favourites time!!! I 
know we all say this every month but honestly I cant believe how quick the months are going, its crazy... At least we can look forward to some sunshine, warmer days and pretty flowers now that spring is approaching. Anywhoo today I thought I would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout February... So here goes.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light

If you read my recent review you will know I LOVE this stuff, its just amazing!! I've been obsessed with creating a nice dewy/glowing base recently and this Maybelline BB Cream has helped so much! I've been buffing a small amount of the BB Cream into my skin first then taking a small amount of my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation which I also love, and buffing that in over the top and together the two make my skin look so healthy and glowing, I'm certainly going to be using this loads throughout spring/summer too. 

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in Soft Pink

I hadn't used this little beauty since last year and whilst going through my makeup collection this blush was just peering at me ha ha, I decided to put in back in my makeup bag and I've been using it everyday since the beginning of January, and I have to say it's the best cream blush I've ever used, it blends out so easily, you can build it up or use it with a light hand, it doesn't travel or move throughout the day and the colour is gorgeous too.

Sleek Contour Kit in Light

This Sleek Contour Kit is a favourite of mine all year round to be honest, but as I said recently I've been going for that dewy/glowy look so I've been using it more than ever. I love the fact that the contour shade is not orange or muddy looking, it's literally the perfect shade to contour with for my skin tone and the highlighter is one of the prettiest Ive ever used. I just love it!

L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution

I'm addicted to this micellar water at the moment and its definitely the best micellar water I've tried so far. It literally dissolves all my makeup off with ease and I never have to rub my delicate eye area either to remove eye makeup, my skin always feels so soft and clear after I've used it to which I love. If you'd like to know more about this little beauty, you can read my full review HERE.

Remington Pearl Pro Curl

I've constantly been wearing my hair curly/wavy for months now and the Remington Pearl Pro that I go for Christmas is the best hair tool I've used to create a soft, natural look. The tong shape is easy to use by simply wrapping your hair around the barrel and it creates beautiful soft curls, perfect for daytime and that last all day. I am going to be reviewing the Pro Curl in full soon, so keep an eye out for that beaut's.

What's been your favourite beauty products throughout February beaut's??? I'd love to know!!!

High Street Beauty Haul

Hey girlie's!!!

I'm back with a High street Beauty Haul for you all today as I was naughty again and treated myself to a couple of bits, and the fact I work opposite Superdrug really doesn't help my bank balance either ha ha. Anyway onto the little treats I picked up....

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory £8.99

This was pretty much a must have repurchase as its one of my all time favourite foundations, I absolutely love everything about it, its just perfect for me and something I always have to have in my make up stash. 

Collection Lasting Colour Lipstick in Valentine £2.99
I only have 2 lipsticks by Collection and I love them so I thought I'd add another one to my collection and I just couldn't resist it's bright red shade. I just think this lipstick would look incredible with a nice matte neutral eye and dramatic black winged out liquid liner, ohhh I think its so lovely and that look on a night out would be gorgeous!!! 

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara in Black £8.99
Ive been after this mascara ever since it got released in America and I've hated having to wait for it to touch down in the UK, but finally I have it!!! If you know me, you will know I have an unhealthy addiction to buying mascara's, I just love trying them all out ha ha, so far I'm really loving this one, I'll be reviewing it for you all soon so keep an eye out beaut's.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light £3.99 (On Offer)

 BB Cream's were so popular last summer but I never picked one up for some crazy reason but as Maybelline had a Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price offer on everything I thought I may as well try one if I was getting it half the price. Like the 'Big Eyes' Mascara I've been loving the BB Cream so far and I cant believe I've waited this long to try one.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Water £3.32
I love Micellar Waters but I hadn't tried L'Oreal's offering yet and Ive heard so many good things about it that I thought I may as well give it a go, I also love the fact its for eye, face and lips.

Cucumber Cooling Clay Mask 99p or Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price
Ive really been getting into skincare alot more recently since my skins getting less sensitive now as I'm getting older. It's been years since I've bought a face mask because every time I used them in the past my face would get a horrible reaction that would be there for days, but after spotting these cooling cucumber masks and noticing they are ideal for sensitive skin sufferers I thought I'd give them a whirl.

15 Shades Corrector/Contour Makeup Palette £3.99 including p&p
This is a little cheat item that I wanted to add in my haul as I haven't actually bought this Contour/Corrector kit in the high street, however it has a high street price that I'm sure alot of you girlie's would be interested in. This kit set me back a tiny £3.99 from EBay, what a bargain!!! The kit comes complete with 15 cream contour/corrector shades that are perfect for contour beginners like myself, I'll go into more detail when I review the kit in a upcoming blog post, but for the price it's fab!!!

So that's my little high street haul for you all lovelie's, I hope you enjoyed this kind of post and do let me know if you've picked up any high street gems recently that I need to try.

2013 Haircare Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

So we may have waved goodbye to 2013 but we can still appreciate a few products we've loved throughout last year cant we? So today I thought I'd do a little round up of a few hair  products that have become either favourites of mine or staple products that I repurchase over and over and cant live without otherwise my hair would be... well just awful ha ha!!! I've already put up my 2013 Beauty Favourites which you can read here ,I could of put lots of products in this post as I really have loved alot of  hair products in 2013 but here are the handful I have chosen, and be warned I do love me some VO5 ha ha....  

Rana Argan Oil

Ive been growing out my hair throughout 2013 and leaving my hair alot longer between trims so the ends tend to split quite bad and also the added fact I use heat on my hair quite often means my hair does need some treatment and a little pick me up, thank goodness for Rana Argon Oil!! I love to use the oil as a before shampoo treatment, I just spritz it all through my hair thoroughly the leave for 40 minuets and shampoo out, it leaves my hair feeling really smooth, shiny and the ends looked so much more healthier.

VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray

A heat protect spray is essential for me as I use heat on my hair most days and VO5's offering is my all time favourite, it smells incredible, it doesn't weigh my hair down or make it greasy and it protects up to 230 degrees which I think is really good and whats best is its super affordable!!!

VO5 Give Me Texture Tousled Style Spray

 I adore this stuff!!! If you curl or wave your hair this little beauty will be your best friend forever. Ive been curling my hair quite often, its just the style I seem to love at the moment and this spray seems to really help with the effects. I literally curl my hair, put a few pumps of the tousled style spray into my hands and then use my hands like a comb and run it through my hair, not only does it get away any frizz but it just adds more texture and oomph to my hair. I even use this on second/third day hair and it will literally bring your curls/waves back to life like you've just re curled your hair when you actually haven't, its amazing!!! 

VO5 Plump It Up

I only discovered this is October but I just couldn't leave it out, its incredible! I hate backcombing my hair as its such a chore, not to mention how much it damages your hair but I do love abit of added volume at my roots so this stuff is like magic in a can for me ha ha. You simply give the can a good shake before use then spray evenly on dry hair, including your roots, I then rub and jujj where I've sprayed the backcombing spray and then your left with loads of volume, your hair is honestly huge, its also great for up doo's too, whoop!!!

L'Oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray

Whenever I want to achieve messy beachy waves I reach for this L'Oreal beauty every time. You can either use it on dry or damp hair, give it a good scrunch and then voila, you have beachy waves within minutes, its so easy and great for the summer too.

Tigi Bed Head Headrush

This stuff is great if your hair is looking and feeling really dull, its adds so much shine and makes your hair look freshly washed and as with most Tigi products it smells gorgeous!!!

And there you have it, a few hair products that really have made a difference on my hair during 2013.

What have your haircare favourites been during 2013??? Leave me you links if you've done a similar post as I'd love to read it.

November Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... November favourites time!!! I know I say this every month but my goodness November went quick, are you all really excited for Christmas yet??? I know I am ha ha. Anywhoo... I thought I would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout this past month... So here goes... 

Barry M Nail Paints in Raspberry and Majesty

Raspberry and Majesty have been my favourite nail polish duo at the moment, I literally cant get enough of them. Raspberry is my favourite Barry M nail paint of all time anyway but I really go mad on it in the Autumn/Winter and as Christmas is getting closer I've decided to add some sparkle with Majesty, as we all know I love me some sparkle!!! Ive simply been painting each nail with raspberry apart from my ring finger which I like to do with Majesty and voila!!! 

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me

As the weather has now gotten alot colder my lips have certainly been getting dryer and needing an extra moisturising boost, and I have to say my Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry me has been my saviour, it moisturises, conditions, smells amazing and once on the lips it gives you a lovely raspberry red tint. You can check out my full review on the Baby Lips collection here.

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 100 Ivory

I have been addicted to using Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation recently, its just perfect for this time of year!!! The foundation is a light perfecting radiance foundation meaning it will give the appearance of more healthy, glowing looking skin which is exactly what I need when its dreary and dull outside. The foundation provides a medium but buildable coverage and blends onto my skin really well, its literally perfection in a bottle to me.

St Grape Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub

Oh how I love my St Grape Aqua Bliss Bath Scrub, so much so that I only have about 2 uses left in my pot. When you pop the scrub into your hand it feels slightly like wet sand in texture and is very gentle and not too abrasive yet it still feels like your giving your skin a good exfoliate, afterwards your skin is left feeling super soft and polished. The smell of the scrub, well..... Its gorgeous, it has quite a strong soapy scent that lingers on your skin for ages afterwards. Its great if your using the scrub in the bath too as when you rinse you skin free from the scrub it leaves your bath water slightly bubbly and the scrubs scent stays in your bath water, its honestly like heaven. I currently have a giveaway where 5 of my lucky follower can win a pot of then scrub, you can enter here.

L'Oreal Studio Matt & Messy Salt Spray

As you may or may not know I've been loving wearing my hair curly/wavy recently and the L'Oreal Studio Matt & Mess spray has been an amazing at helping me to create great 2nd and 3rd day curls. All I do is spray the matte and messy spray through my hair on the 2nd or 3rd day and after a scrunch here and a scrunch there my hair is all wavy again as if I have just waved my hair with a waving tool when I haven't, it's amazing and so so easy.

What's been your favourite beauty products this month??? I'd love to know!!!

August Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... August favourites time. I honestly cant believe how quick August has gone but i have to say I'm now getting super excited for autumn to arrive i just cant wait. Anywhoo... I thought i would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout this past month... So here goes...

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me

I adore 'Cherry Me' out of the UK's Baby Lips collection, id say its definitely the best of the bunch for me. Its super moisturising, smells delicious and has good pigmentation for a tinted lip balm. I also love the fact these aren't in little pots where you have to apply the balm to your lips with your finger making these alot more hygienic especially for on the go applications. Ive also noticed that my lips feel so much smoother than before and i can see myself repurchasing 'Cherry Me' over and over again. I have reviewed the whole collection of the Baby Lips, you can have a read here.

L'oreal Super Liner in Black Lacquer

Over the last couple of months I've really been getting into wearing eyeliner on my top lash line and winging it out sometimes but this is something I've struggled to master for quite some time, I've tried lots of different liquid liners in the past and so far this 'L'oreal Super Liner' has to be the best and the most easy to use. The applicator lets you apply thin or thick lines with ease and makes creating flicks/wings really simple, its also super long lasting and totally smudge proof, once its on it ain't budging so you have to work quick. I will be reviewing this in full soon so look out for that.

Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara in Black

I love this mascara, even after buying other mascara's recently i always find myself going back to this one. It gives me just the right amount of volume for a general day to day mascara but the thing i love about it the most is the staying power, it literally doesn't budge all day long which is something i always want from a mascara as theres nothing worse than a flaky smudgy mascara. I have reviewed this in full so feel free to click here and have a read. 

Radox Shower Smoothies in Tropical Tranquillity

Now this is quite a different thing for me to put in my favourites as usually i swear by the Soap & Glory Clean On Me shower gel but i was coming to the end of that so when i was in Superdrug i saw that the 'Radox Shower Smoothie' range was on offer for 74p, i smelt the other 3 in the range but decided on 'Tropical Tranquility' a coconut scented shower smoothie with little pieces of crushed almonds and myrrh inside. It feels so soft and gentle on the skin and the almonds act like a gentle exfoliante, it also makes your skin smell gorgeous after your shower too.

Burberry Tender Touch Ea De Parfum 50ml

I adore this Burberry perfume and its most definitely one of my signature scents, I've been using this throughout spring and summer as it has such a lovely sweet floral scent to it and as you can see i only have a very small amount left (sad face). Ive also noticed that i get lots of compliments when wearing this so it seems to be a well liked scent too. 

What's been your favourite beauty products this month?? I'd love to know :)
