The NEW Zoella Beauty Lip Oils Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

I've been a huge Zoella fan for as long as I can remember and have built up quite the collection of her Zoella Beauty products over the years however...One product of Zoella's I was yet to try was her lip oils, so you can imagine my utter excitement when Zoella's team sent me a DM asking if I'd like to try the two new lip oils Zoe was adding to her 'fruits' collection!  
The two new lip oils pack such a fruity punch and are perfect to use on days when your lips need a little TLC, the oils actually contain a conditioning blend of sweet almond, jojoba and argon oils which nourish and hydrate the lips really well and I've been totally obsessed! 
So lets start with my favourite out of the two - the Watermelon scent - this one smells absolutely mouth watering and is perfect for whacking onto your lips day to day, it's a clear oil so it's super easy to wear and the shine is mega, it gives you that glossy wet look to the lips which I think looks super sexy and pouty! You can also use the watermelon oil as a little lip treatment whilst you do you makeup in the morning to prep your lips ready for your lipstick, I actually do this everyday and I find my lipstick goes on so much smoother! Then we have the Tinted Berry Oil, this one works in the same conditioning way as the watermelon oil but the berry oil has a gorgeous berry coloured tint too it which actually leaves stain to the lips when the oil has sunk into the lips! I'd say this is your 'going out' lip oil, the pigment is actually very good and with the added glossy shine it makes your lips look super juicy and the mixed berry scent is to die for! One thing I will say is that the nourishment you get from these oils is instant, so when you need a moisture boost you do get one but if your looking for all-day long results then you'll need to keep topped up! 
As for the packaging...I personally love it! I love the colours, I love the design, their handbag friendly and the actual doe foot applicators are super soft and perfectly shaped so that they really hug the contours of your lips!

You can find the two new Zoella Beauty lips oils online at Feel Unique and Superdrug for £5.00 each!

Zoella Beauty 'Cosmos' Christmas Collection Revealed!

Hey beaut's!

It's that time of year again.... Yup, dare I say it....Christmas is just a mere few months away and I for one am totally excited, I absolutely adore Autumn/Winter and Christmas and seeing all the pretty gifts in the shops gets me so excited, so when I was browsing the Superdrug website yesterday and came across some Christmas gifts by Zoella I literally had love hearts in my eyes and had to share them with you all today! The collection is called 'COSMOS' and consists of 11 gifts so far, I have no idea if more will be added but there are 11 gifts currently on the Superdrug website to choose from! 

The theme of the collection looks very galactic which I'm totally living for and the scent that seems to be popping up in most products is vanilla and peppermint which is right up my street, I hoping its going to be like the vanilla scent from Yankee Candles Christmas Cookie mixed with a candy cane, that would be dreamy! As far as the gifts go it looks quite similar to last year with the mini perfume set, the roller ball set, then theres the fragrance itself, the hand cream is back and the large mega box with most items in is there too! Prices start from £5.50 up to £40.00 so theres certainly a gift for everyone whether you want something small or big, don't forget though we often see a dip in prices once the collection has been out a month or so - so it's likely the prices will indeed be reduced slightly!

So what do you think of the Zoella Cosmos Christmas Collection beaut's? I'd love to know! I'm certainly looking forward to the reveal of her lifestyle collection in Boots now!

Check out the Zoella Cosmos Collection HERE at Superdrug or HERE at Feel Unique!

February Beauty Favourites!

Hey beaut's!

Thankfully February went a lot quicker than January, my goodness that was a long month wasnt it. I've been wishing February away to be honest, I've been waiting to take my final weeks holiday from work before the new working year starts, that week has now arrived and I have a lovely week off with my boyfriend as of now and I'm so excited about it.

Anyway I'm going to kick this months favourites off with the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer. This stuff is like bloody gold dust, I was going into every Superdrug for weeks trying to track this beauty down in my shade but finally I got my paws on shades C1 and C3 to try. So far I'm really impressed with the concealer and can see why it's been so ruddy popular, the coverage is great, it's so creamy and just melts into the skin, I'll be doing a full review soon so watch this space. Sticking with base makeup Rimmel's Lasting Finish Breathable Foundation has been my go to for the last few weeks, it's so lightweight that it honestly feels like I'm wearing nothing, the coverage isn't to heavy making it the perfect day to day foundation for me. 
Scent wise, Zoella's Blissful Mistful has been keeping me smelling lovely even if I do say so myself, I actually only got this scent in January but have been obsessed ever since and I think it's my favourite scent Zoe does, it super fresh and floral and I can see myself wearing it loads through Spring! Ok... I'm actually head over heels in love with Benefit's KA-BROW Brow Pomade, I've always been a brow powder/pencil kinda gal but this Benefit pomade has been a game changer and really upped my brow game, it somehow just transforms my brows making them look absolutely perfect, I don't know how it does it but I LOVE it! For my nails I've been loving  a couple of nail paints by good ole Bazza M, the shades Strawberry Laces and Pink tail have been perfect for me whilst I'm transitioning from my Winter shades to more Spring appropriate shades because I'm longing for Spring now! 
My final favourite this months is my Too Faced Sweet Peach Eyeshadow Palette! I love this palette so much and it never leaves my makeup bag, not only is the shade range amazing for any occasion day or night but the quality of these shadows is incredible, and it still smells super yummy and peachy even though I've had my palette 2 years now!

What have you been loving this month beaut's? I'd love to know!

Zoella Beauty and Lifestyle Christmas Collection Reviewed

Hey beaut's!

You may have seen that recently myself and my friend Kate got the chance to go down to London to visit Zoella's Winter Wonderland! We had an hour to explore and look at all of Zoella's new beauty and lifestyle Christmas collections - which where amazing by the way - and on the way out we was given a lovely goodie bag with four of the new launches inside so I thought I'd share my thoughts on them all now that I've had the chance to use them quite a bit.

Zoella's Christmas beauty collection is available in Superdrug and Feel Unique this year and theres quite a few things within the range that I think will be fast sellers, the Snow'ella Body Mist being one of them! The scent of the mist is super fresh, bright, clean and snow like with a flurry of stunning notes such as peony, refreshing mint and pink pepper. Can we all just appreciate how gorgeous the bottle is too, it's a whopping new 100ml size and the pom pom detail is mega cute, I love it! The Winter Wonder Hand Cream carries the same scent as the body mist and the same formula as last years gingerbread hand cream so I knew I'd love this as I went through tubes of last years hand cream. It's super nourishing, non sticky, soaks into my hands quickly and the scent lingers for hours, it's such a Autumn/Winter staple for me!

The Cosy Vibes Mug is part of Zoe's lifestyle range which is exclusive to Boots and is in their fab 3 for 2 offer which I love, you cant beat a bit of Boot's 3 for 2 at Christmas can you! The mug itself is a decent size for all those hot chocolates, teas and coffees and the design is super cute and so Instagram-able! The lifestyle range actually has a forest green/copper theme which I think work so well together, and even though everything has a festive feel it's not too in your face and you can definitely use everything all year round! 

Finally the Bento Box Stationery Set has all of your stationary basics covered, theres  
two pencils, a rubber, a ruler, cute arrow shaped paperclips, washi tape and of course and notepad to quickly jot things down. I love this set, not only is it pleasing on the eye but super practical too.

You can find the Lifestyle range exclusively in Boots HERE and the Beauty range is available in Superdrug HERE!

What have you got your eye on from the Christmas Collections this year beaut's? I'd love to know!

Zoella Winter Wonderland Visit

Hey beaut's!

On Thursday me and my girlie Kate from Kates Closet got the chance to go down to London to visit Zoella's Winter Wonderland! We had an hour to explore and look at all of Zoella's new beauty and lifestyle Christmas collections as well as being able to tuck into hot chocolate in Zoella's new Cosy Vibes mug, get a hand and arm massage with the new Winter Wonder Hand Cream and dive into a huge snow globe and bath filled with snow, all whilst Christmas music was playing in the background. Me and Kate had the most magical time and I have to say after seeing all of Zoella's Christmas range in person it looks pretty epic, I mean don't get me wrong it all looks amazing online but being able to look, touch, feel and smell everything was just amazing!



Theres so much to choose from the beauty range this year and the scent is gorgeous, theres stunning notes of peony, refreshing mint and pink pepper throughout the range making it a super fresh, clean, snow like fragrance! The Winter Wonder Hand Cream and the Body Mist have to be my favourites, their so lovely and the packaging is super cute! 
The lifestyle range has such a cosy feel, theres everything from a cute mugs, gorgeous candles and reed defusers, stationary and theres even an advent calender this year. My favourites have to be the candles though, as you probably know I'm a sucker for a seasonal candle he he, Festive Cookie and Cosy Christmas smell amazing and I also spotted what I think will be an exclusive 'Christmas Clementine' which also smells incredibly festive!



 Me and Kate had such a fantastic time and even got goodies bag signed by Zoella containing the Snow'ella Body Mist, Winter Wonder Hand Cream, Cosy Vibes Mug and the Bento Station Stationary Set which was so generous of them!

You can find the Lifestyle range exclusively in Boots (it's on 3 for 2 yayyy) and the Beauty range is available on Superdrug and Feel Unique!

December Beauty Favourites

Hey beaut's!

It's December beauty favourites time.....I still cant quite believe that December and Christmas is nearly over, it went far to quickly for my liking and I'm super sad about it, I think I'm going to cling on to the gold smokey eyes, red lips and glittery nails for a bit longer though he he. Anywhoo onto what I've been loving this month beauty wise!

For nails I've pretty much worn and re-painted my nails with the same two polishes all month long starting with Barry M's Glitter Gelly in Sparkling Ruby, its a gorgeous red glitter shade that has a subtle golden shimmer effect to it, and for my accent nails I've been obsessed with my Barry M Molten Metal Nail Paint in Copper Mine, these two have just gone so well together and have been so festive.

For lips this month I've been loving Rimmels The Only 1 Matte Lipstick in 610 High Flyer for everyday wear and for more of a dramatic festive red lip I've been wearing MAC's Viva Glam I. Speaking of MAC, their Extended Play Giga Black Lash Mascara crept back into my makeup bag this month and I've been obsessed again, it's amazing for precise application and grabs every lash even the tiny hard to reach lashes, I love it!

I know I've featured this in a lot of favourites but Zoella's Hungry Hands is still my favourite hand cream that I've been using daily, I've even got my boyfriend into it too he he, it's just so nourishing and the gingerbread scent is divine.

Skincare wise theres been one stand out product that I've been using a lot that I've actually been buying in bulk because I love it that much and that's Garniers Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask. These masks are super scary but super amazing, their just so good for my dry skin at this time of the year because they are drenched in serum which puts the moisture back in that this cold weather takes out, I love my skin after using one of these bad boys.

Finally for beauty, I've been obsessed with my YSL's Black Opium perfume during December, it's a dark, musky, sexy, warm scent that wears beautifully in the colder months, I love it so much!

I do have one fashion favourite that has snuck into my beauty favourites this month and that's my cute rose gold snowflake necklace from Jewellerybox.co.UK. I have been wearing it so much over the festive season, I just love how delicate it is any anything rose gold gets a huge thumbs up from me he he.  

What have you been loving this month beaut's?? I'd love to know.

October Beauty Favourites ♥


Hey beaut's!

It's that time again.... Monthly favourites time! Wow hasn't this month gone quick, I know I say that every month but I cant quite believe how quick these months are whizzing past! I'm literally in my element at the moment because it's my favourite time of the year, every things super autumnal now and theres Christmas vibes everywhere, eeeakkk I love it! This months beauty favourites really do have autumn in mind, I'm loving berry shades so much at the moment and my makeup bag and nail polish stash are full of those yummy hues!
My first favourite this month was a no brainer really, it just had to be the Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette. This palette may only come complete with four shades but oh my those four shades are gorgeous and work so well either used all together or used separately, the shades are all warm-toned neutrals that lean more towards red and copper tones and are stunning for this time of the year, not to mention the quality of these shadows is insane! Sticking with the eyes I've also been loving my Maybelline Color Tattoo is Metallic Pomegranate, it's a stunning cranberry shade with gold glitters suspended within it and is perfect for a quick wash of colour on the eyelid when your in a rush, or it creates the perfect long lasting base for eyeshadows to sit on top of. 

Base makeup wise I've been obsessed with using my Rimmel Fresher Skin Foundation with my Real Techniques Multi Sculpting Sponge, these two go hand in hand together to create a lightweight, natural look which is perfect for everyday and then I just use my Maybelline FIT Me Concealer on any blemishes and underneath my eyes. This Maybelline concealer is so so good by the way, it's super creamy and bendable with great coverage and doesn't move at all throughout the day, I love it!

For lipstick this month I have been wearing all sorts but one lippie that I've been wearing the most out of them all is MAC's Syrup! Syrup is a muted pink with sheer plummy tones running through it, great for someone who wants to wear a berry/plum lip but doesn't want to go too bold, it's a lustre finish too which I love at this time of the year because its creamy and moisturising so it's perfect for when my lips are that bit dryer.

For my nails I've been sticking to the same two polishes all month and that's Barry M's Raspberry and Copper Mine, this is such an autumnal duo that looks super pretty, I use Copper Mine as an accent nail colour on my thumb and ring finger and then Raspberry goes on the rest of my nails, I love it!  

Finally my last favourite this month is the Zoella Hungry Hands Hand Cream, I was so exited about this release and it certainly didn't disappoint, it's such a lovely hand cream that nourishes and soaks straight into the skin, not to mention it smells absolutely incredible! Check out my full review HERE beaut's!

Zoella Hungry Hands Hand Cream Review

Hey beaut's!

When Zoella announced her Christmas Collection I couldn't wait to get my hands on it 'literally' he he. One thing from her gingerbread themed collection I knew I would need in my life asap was her Hungry Hands Hand Cream, during the colder months I go through hand cream like its going out of fashion so as soon as Zoella's offering was in stock I quickly ordered myself a tube to try!
The Zoella Hungry Hands Hand Cream comes beautifully packaged in a brown box with the 90ml tube of hand cream safely tucked inside, I adore the 'brown paper packages tied up with string' vibe that this collection has running through it, it's so cute and festive without being too 'young' looking. The hand cream itself is white with a creamy consistency, it's enriched with Shea butter and vitamin e which together make this a super moisturising hand cream. What I love about this hand cream is that it doesn't take long at all to soak into my hands, it literally melts into my skin and theres no sticky residue afterwards either, that's a huge pet hate of mine and so many hand creams leave my hands tacky after application so I'm so happy I don't have that problem with Hungry Hands. Scent wise its gorgeous, its made up of pinch of ginger and a dash of vanilla so as you can imagine it smells super festive and just like gingerbread which is one of my favourite scents throughout autumn and winter.
Overall I'm so impressed with this hand cream, it gets the job done, smells amazing, looks great and is great value for money considering the tube is quite substantial, and the fact it soaks straight into the skin gives this hand cream major points from me!

You can buy the Zoella Hungry Hands Hand Cream on the Superdrug website HERE for £6.00, although at the moment it's on offer for £5.00.

Zoella Beauty Christmas Collection

Hey beaut's!

You may have seen the other day that I done a post all about the gorgeous Tanya Burr's 2016 Christmas Collection and today I'm back with a write up on Zoella's Christmas offering, which I must admit is my hands down favourite out of the two. This year I feel like Zoella's Christmas Collection isn't so 'young' and will appeal to everyone of all ages which I love, the packaging is super cute and I absolutely love the 'brown paper packages tied up with string' vibe. Everything within this collection is...wait for it... gingerbread scented, oh my goodness gingerbread is not only one of my favourite things in life but it's just so festive and christmasy isn't it. The range consists of some smaller gifts such as a yummy hand cream (which I need in my life asap), a cute shower gel-filled bauble and a lip balm duo which would all make perfect stocking fillers, to bigger gifts such as the big pamper hamper and the Let's Go Places tin. Theres also a fizz bar trio, cosmetic bags galore and Zoella has even made her very own set of crackers this year which I think is amazing if your having a Christmas night in with the girls or you could even buy a box of them and place one cracker in each of your friends stockings, it's such a cute idea.

Prices of the gifts start from £6.00 to £50.00 so theres certainly a gift for everyone whether you want something small or big, most of them are currently out of stock on the Superdrug website at the moment however you can sign up to get notified by email when each item your after comes back in stock, I've actually done this for a few bits I'm interested in and I would highly recommend it as I can see this collection being very hard to get hold of as I assume it will sell out instantly!

Zoella Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

I'm pretty sure if your into watching beauty, fashion and lifestyle related video's on YouTube that you've all heard of Zoella (Zoe Sugg) before, I started reading her blog and watching her video's years ago and since then she's had so much success and released her own pampering range named 'Zoella Beauty' you go girl ha ha. I did buy a couple of things from the Zoella Beauty line last year and really enjoyed using them and recently Zoe has launched a brand new 'Tutti Fruity' line with Summer in mind, obviously I had to treat myself to a couple of things from the line so I decided to pick up the Kissy Missy Lip Balm (review here), Bath Lily and the Scrubbing Me Softly Soothing Body Scrub which is what I'll be reviewing today!

The Scrubbing Me Softly Soothing Body Scrub (£7.00) comes in a large 280g tub that's covered in pretty yellow polka dots and of course has the Zoella logo adorned on it. The scrub itself is a sugar scrub so it's a lot more gentle on the skin than your average salt scrub, this is great if you have quite sensitive skin like myself and like to use something less abrasive however, if you like a very gritty scrub that can scrub away fake tan and tough dry skin this may not be the scrub for you. 
In terms of the formula... It's extremely thick, when I opening the scrub for my very first use it was really hard and it almost had a waxy feeling which took a good amount of pressure to scoop some out, that being said now that I've used half of the tub up it's become a lot more aoft and creamy and easy to scoop out. The scrub has conditioning cocoa butter within it, and after using the scrub I can really feel the benefits, my skin feels super soft, conditioned and not dry at all, I especially noticed a difference on my elbows and knees which are places on my body that get quite dry. The scent is lovely, it's very fruity and the Acai and Blueberry really do come through, I always find that after my shower the scent really lingers on my skin in a subtle way which I love. 
Overall I do really like Zoella's Scrubbing Me Softly Soothing Body Scrub, it's not as good as my Soap and Glory scrubs but it's not a bad scrub either. The only downside for me is just how hard and waxy it was as the beginning because it made it a little tricky to use at first but other than that this is a great gentle scrub perfect for those with sensitive skin and the smell really is devine.

Have you tried Zoella's Scrubbing Me Softly Smoothing Body Scrub?? What did you think beaut's?? I'd love to know!

Zoella Kissy Missy Lip Balm Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

I'm pretty sure if your into watching beauty, fashion and lifestyle related video's on YouTube that you've all heard of Zoella (Zoe Sugg) before, I started reading her blog and watching her video's years ago and since then she's had so much success and released her own pampering range named 'Zoella Beauty' you go girl ha ha. I did buy a couple of things from the Zoella Beauty line last year and really enjoyed using them and recently Zoe has launched a brand new 'Tutti Fruity' line with Summer in mind, obviously I had to treat myself to a couple of things from the line so I decided to pick up the Scrubbing Me Softly Soothing Body Scrub (review coming soon), Bath Lily and the Kissy Missy Lip Balm which is what I'll be reviewing today!
The Kissy Miss Lip Balm (£3.00) comes in a cute plastic pot with a screw lid that has the Zoella logo adorned on it, it's the perfect size for your handbag/makeup bag and the screw lid stays on really well so you don't have to worry about it coming undone what so ever. The balm itself is a lot different than I expected, I was thinking it would have the texture of Vaseline but it doesn't what so ever, instead its quite a hard, solid balm that requires you to work your finger on the surface to kind of melt it. Once applied on the lips it feels lovely and smooth and so moisturised, I think it will be really beneficial during the winter months when your pout is really dry and needs a boost of moisture.
One of my favourite things about this lip balm is the pigmentation, it's so opaque and looks like you've applied lipstick to your lips not a lip balm, you can either apply one thin layer of the balm for a subtle pink tint or two thin layers will give you a fully opaque, hot pink pout which is so girly and fun. The colour does leave a slight stain on the lips so it wears really well and lasts for hours. As for the scent... The balm is enriched with extracts of Acai and Blueberry and is suppose to have the Tutti Fruity scent that flows through out the entire new collection however I don't get that at all, instead all I get is vanilla, it actually smells a lot like a MAC lipstick to be honest which smell amazing so that's good enough for me.

Overall I do really like Zoella's Kissy Missy Lip Balm, it's great to throw in your handbag for on the go and I love how moisturising and nourishing it is, I would say that I think it is aimed more towards the younger generation but that doesn't bother me or take away from the fact its a good lip balm so yeah, I really like it! 

  What are your thoughts on Zoella's new Tutti Fruity beauty range? I'd love to know beaut's!

Firstly I just NEED the new Real Techniques Limited Edition Eyeliner Brush Set in my life, I couldn't quite believe it when I just stumbled across the set on the Escentual website as I hadn't heard a single thing about a new set at all, but it will most certainly have to be mine he he. I'm really lusting after a list of things from Barry M at the moment, their recently released makeup all looks so good so I'm definitely going to have to pick a few things up from them soon. Something else I'm now dying to get my hands on is the MAC Pro Longwear Foundation, I got a sample of this a while back in my local MAC store and my goodness I'm in love with it and need the full size bottle in my life soon he he.
