Bilou Creamy Shower Foam Review

Hey beaut's!

Hands up...who wants to get out of the shower smelling of a tasty donut or cotton candy?? I know I do! And thanks to German YouTuber Bibi from BibisBeautyPalace we can because she has launched her very own range of sweet smelling products which are available here in the UK exclusively in selected Superdrug stores and online!

I've been giving two of the Bilou Creamy Shower Foams a whirl recently but their are Body Sprays and Gentle Cream Foams in the collection too, all of which come in the sweetest of scents such as Fizzy Berry, Coco Cocktail and Pink Melon. The scents I've been trying are Tasty Donut* and Cotton Candy* and oh my goodness they smell incredible, I've honestly never smelt a shower foam/gel so good in my entire life. Tasty Donut 'which is my favourite out of the two I have' smells just like freshly baked donuts and fruity strawberry icing – it's absolutely delicious, and Cotton Candy smells like fluffy candy floss, caramelly and sweet – it's heavenly!

The Creamy Shower Foams are so lovely to use and different to any other shower foams I've used before, instead of having to lather up the product for it to foam these spray out of the can instantly foaming like the softest white fluffy cloud, the smallest amount goes a long way too, I only pressed my can for a second and my entire hand was full of foam so their definitely going to last well. The foam feels so soft and gentle to rub into the skin without being drying and the scent throw is insanely good, I can literally smell the scents on my skin for hours afterwards and despite being super sweet they aren't sickly in the slightest to me.

If you have a sweet tooth your definitely going to want to try these beauties out, not only do they smell and work amazingly well but all of the Bilou products are 100% vegan too which makes me so happy because that means everyone can try these out. I also adore the packaging of the Bilou products, you really cant walk past these in Superdrug without buying one, the imagery is so cute but simplistic, it's right up my street!

You can buy the Bilou Creamy Shower Foams for £3.99 HERE.

NEW Imperial Leather Raspberry & Pomegranate Shower Gel Review

Hey beaut's!

You may already know that I'm pretty much obsessed with Imperial Leathers 'Sweets' range of shower gels, so when I heard that they had recently added a new scent to their original line of showers gels I couldn't wait to give it a whirl.

Imperial Leathers latest shower gel release is the Uplifting Raspberry and Pomegranate* scent and oh my goodness it literally smells like heaven and its so nice for the Summer, it's so fruity and sweet with strong berry notes running through it, and is great for those who like morning showers because it's so uplifting, refreshing and leaves your skin smelling amazing!  

As far as shower gels go Uplifting Raspberry and Pomegranate is pretty good and does get the job done, it lathers up really well when used with a loofah and feels so soft and creamy against my skin whilst I'm washing. If your looking for a shower gel with hydrating qualities then Uplifting Raspberry and Pomegranate wont be for you, whilst it never dried my skin out at all it is just a normal shower gel but with an amazing scent that lingers on the skin. 

Overall Imperial Leather's new Uplifting Raspberry & Pomegranate Shower Gel is an absolute hit with me and even my boyfriends been using it everyday and has been loving it too so it's definitely family friendly. So if your looking for a gorgeously fruity yet sweet shower gel this summer beaut's then you just have to try this new scent, it's so yummy. I'd also highly recommend their Sweets range too if you haven't tried it yet!

You can find the Imperial Leather Raspberry & Pomegranate Shower Gel for £1.80 on the Imperial Leather website HERE!

What's your favourite Imperial Leather Shower Gel scent beaut's? I'd love to know!

Imperial Leather Foamy Banana Shower Cream Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

You may already know that I'm slightly addicted to Imperial Leather's Comforting Marshmallow shower cream but recently they have added a new addition to their amazing 'Sweets' range of shower creams and I just had to give it a whirl, so say hello to Foamy Banana's he he!

 As far as shower gels go Foamy Banana's* is pretty good and does get the job done, it lathers up really well when used with a loofah and feels so soft and creamy against my skin whilst I'm washing. I think it's obvious that the scent is the real selling point here and I must admit that's what I was most excited about when testing out this shower cream and my goodness it didn't disappoint, it smells so sweet, fruity and exactly like the smell and taste of the foam banana's you get in the sweet shop which I'm slightly addicted too, for some this shower cream might be slightly sickly but I absolutely love sweet, sugary scents so that isn't a problem for me, the scent also seems to linger on my skin slightly after getting out of the shower which I think is fun and would be amazing for kids. If your looking for a shower gel with hydrating qualities then Foamy Banana's wont be for you, whilst it never dried my skin out at all it is just your average shower gel but with an amazing scent and cute packaging.

Overall I think Imperial Leather's 'Sweets' range is an absolute hit and after falling in love with Foamy Banana's and Comforting Marshmallow I now want to try the others in the Sweets collection so bad he he. You can find the Imperial Leather Foamy Banana Shower Cream for £1.80 in Superdrug or selected Tesco stores.

Have you tried the  Imperial Leather 'Sweets' range beaut's? What did you think? I'd love to know.

Imperial Leather Comforting Marshmallow Shower Cream Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

When I heard Imperial Leather had released a Sweets range of shower creams I just knew I had try them out, as far as I know their are four sweet scents in the collection to choose from, theres Mouthwatering Fruit Salad, Uplifting Sherbet Lemon, Stimulating Spearmint and Comforting Marshmallow which of course I just had to buy.

Comforting Marshmallow was easily sold to me by the look and sound of it, I mean just look at that packaging, it's pink and girlie and quite frankly I just couldn't resist it. As far as shower gels go Comforting Marshmallow is pretty good and does get the job done, it lathers up really well when used with a loofah and feels so soft and creamy against my skin whilst I'm washing. I think it's obvious that the scent is the real selling point here and I must admit that was what I was most excited about when buying this shower cream and my goodness it didn't disappoint, it smells so soft, fluffy, sugary sweet and very feminine just like your showering in a sea of marshmallows, for some it might be slightly sickly but I absolutely love sweet, sugary scents so that isn't a problem for me, the scent also seems to linger on my skin slightly after getting out of the shower which I absolutely adore. If you are looking for a shower gel with hydrating qualities then Comforting Marshmallow wont be for you, whilst it never dried my skin out at all it is just your average shower gel but with an amazing scent and cute packaging.

Overall I think Imperial Leather's 'Sweets' range is an absolute hit and after falling in love with Comforting Marshmallow so much I now want to try Mouthwatering Fruit Salad so bad he he. 

Imperial Leathers Comforting Marshmallow Shower Cream is usually priced at £1.80 but you can find in on offer in so many places at the moment, I got mine from Tesco's a little while back when it was 90p but Superdrug currently have the range priced at just 85p so I'd highly recommend trying them out or stocking up now as I know I will be.

February Birchbox Review

Hey girlie's!!!

It's that time again... Birchbox time!!! This months box has a London Fashion Week theme, giving us samples that will fit right into our personal routine no matter what are style is, don't forget style isn't all about fashion it can be everything from the scent you wear to the books on your coffee table.

So lets see the little treasures I received inside my February Birchbox...

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Black £12

I'll start with the most exciting thing in my box this month, eeekk!!! I'm so happy to finally get my hands on an Eyeko product, I really wish they where stocked in Superdrug or Boots. The Skinny Liner claims to be smudge proof, easy to apply and precise, all things I love and look for in a liquid liner, I actually swatched the liner on the back of my hand the minute I saw it and it was jet black and never budged when I ran my finger over it so I'm expecting good things from this little liner.

Leighton Denny Nail Colour in Purely Plutonic £11

I've received a Leighton Denny nail polish in a beauty box before and loved it's amazing quality so I'm happy to get another, its also a colour I don't really have in my nail polish collection so that's another plus. The shade I received was 'Purely Plutonic' which is a metallic steel grey shade, I love that name ha ha, I always get lured in with cool quirky shade names. 

Gilchrist & Soames Shower Gel 45ml

I must admit I've never heard of this brand of shower gel before but it sounds pretty luxurious. The shower gel has a paraben free formula and contains red tea, grape seed and milk thistle to make the skin feel refreshed and hydrated. I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl, it also smells lovely.

Janjira Argan Oil Concentrate Serum Sample

Janjira is another brand I'm not too familiar with but I'm excited to try their Argan Oil Serum, it has youth boosting nutrients within which help to firm, plump and protect the skin,  sounds pretty amazing right? All you have to do is pat the serum into cleansed skin, simple!!

Beauty Protector | Protect & Oil Sample

Ohhh I love hair oils so much, I always find they work wonders on my hair. This nourishing hair oil battles UV rays, heat and breakage, all you have to do is work 1-3 drops into damp hair or on your dry ends, its prefect for all hair types too. I'm so excited to see the results from this little sample.

Lifestyle Extra - Green & Black's Dark Chocolate

Ohhh this months lifestyle extra comes in the form of something I love, chocolate!!! I actually scoffed this down the minute after taking the picture and it was delicious ha ha, chocolate doesn't last long with me around.

Overall I am really happy with this months box, I'm also pleased that Birchbox have brought back the little drawstring bags too, for some reason we had tissue paper in last months box?? I will definitely be giving everything in this months box a whirl, their isn't one thing I wont try or use which is good. I am still debating whether to continue with Birchbox though, hhhmmm???

What did you think to this months Birchbox beaut's??? I'd love to know!!!

Birchbox December 2013

Hey girlie's!!!

It's that time again... Birchbox time!!!! Ha ha... I was really looking forward to receiving this months box as I'm still getting used to Birchbox and the way they work after I unsubscribed from Glossy box a few monthes back, I've absolutely loved the last few Birchbox's I've received, but I have to say this monthes box is slightly mediocre and not as festive as I would have liked, that being said their are still some great bits in the box to try , also as Birchbox have just teamed up with BaubleBar a US jewellery store, they popped in a $20 gift card (approx £12) to spend on their website which I think is a nice little Christmas treat.

Anywhooo onto the little treasures I received inside my December Birchbox...

Nail Rock Nail Velvet in Burgundy

I'm so excited to try this out, textured nails and nail polishes seem to be everywhere at the moment but the Velvet Effect nails I'm yet to try. I love the deep purple shade I received as it will be perfect for this time of year and the effect seems simple enough to create, simply apply 2 coats of the nail polish, then dip your nails into the little pot of nail velvet, allow 15-20 minutes to fully dry, and then voila!!! This is the full size and retails for £6.99.

Alima Pure Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Chai

Alima Pure isn't a brand I'm familiar with but I have to admit their all natural mineral eyeshadow is amazing!!! I tried it straight away after opening my box and immediately fell in love. The shade I received is 'Chai' which is a gorgeous Rose Gold shade, perfect for this time of year. You can use the eyeshadow dry for a more subtle shimmery look or use it wet for a more vibrant intense look. The full size of 'Chai' retails for £12.50.

Korres Citrus Shower Gel 50ml

I always like trying new shower gels so the Korres Citrus Shower gel will certainly get used up, I can imagine it will be great to use in the mornings rather than the evenings as its citrus scent will certainly be uplifting and wake you up rather quickly. The full size of the Citrus Shower gel retails for £8.00.

Number 4 Non-Aerosol Hairspray 43ml

I'm a sucker for trying out new hair products and this non aerosol hairspray is certainly intriguing. Number 4 is a haircare brand defined by its signature Liquid Complexes and it's botanical ingredients which work together to give impressive results. The Non Aerosol Hair Spray gives a flexible, strong hold, natural movement and boasts a humidity resistant formula with a shine rich finish. Plus, the packaging is earth-friendly. You can't say fairer than that. The full size of the hairspray retails for £18.50.

Delarom Acquaconfort Mask 15ml

I have always been abit shy when it comes to trying different skincare products until I started getting some amazing skincare products in my previous Birchbox's, which have all seemed to work wonders on my skin, so I'm super excited to try the face mask from Delarom. All you have to do is apply the mask to clean skin, leave on for 5-10 minutes and wipe off. It will rehydrate your skin and leave it looking radiant and refreshed, sounds good to me!!! The full size Mask retails for £24.00.

Twistband

Ive always been curious to see if Twistbands are as good as everyone says they are, they claim to keep your hair secure without snagging strands or leaving ugly creases. I'm sure it will come in handy at some point. Twistbands come in a pack of 6 and retail for £10.00.

Overall I think this months Birchbox is rather average, however I will get use out of everything in my box so it doesnt seem all bad really, I just wish it was slightly more festive hehe. 

What did you get in your Birchbox this month girlie's??? I'd love to know.
