Blush Candle!♡


Blush Scented Candle!

       


This Blush - The First Kiss Of The Night scented candle was purchased from John Lewis at a price of £8.50. It has a light pink cover, and an even lighter pink wax. It does also have four triangle wax extras, to add to the image (you can't see the ones in the picture because i couldn't help but burn the candle!). The easiest way i can describe the scent, is fresh and uplifting. The smell is better than it sounds! On the back of the tin, is says the candle burns from 30 - 35 hours and to burn for around 3 hours each time. This means you could get at least 10 goes of lighting the candle if you follow the recommended time. Blush is not the only candle you can purchase of this kind, there is: Fairy Dust, Wild Jasmine, Daisy Dip, Silent Night, Christmas Spice! There may be a few more, and ALL smell nice! I would recommend purchasing one, as not only do they smell nice but they look cute..!

Review: Garnier Body♡


The Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days! 


♡♡♡
The Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days moisturizing lotion. Is a refreshing Gel-Cream, which absorbs INSTANTLY! This is a bonus as you are not left feeling as though you can't move until it drys (like some moisturizers can). Skin feels intensively hydrated for up to 7 days. This is defiantly the highlight of the bottle as it means you will not have to moisturize everyday; this is for normal - dry skin. It has a very strong scent of L-Bifidus** and Grape extracts, in other words a summer scent? I highly recommend this to all people as it gives your skin that final lift that it needs after a shower or bath. As Spring is approaching soon, i would recommend purchasing a bottle as the heat and sun can really dry out your skin and leave it feeling rough. This will become a life saver for the Spring/Summer months!(:
Price: £1.99 - £3.50 (depending on were it is purchased).

Make-Up Tips♡


As I apply make-up everyday, i wanted to try and find some tips/tricks when doing so. There was many I could write down but these are a few of my favs!

Big Lips:
Use a colourless lip balm and apply to the area below your nose and between the peak of the top lip. By doing this it makes your lips look more fuller and helps towards a more glamorous lips.

Cover up those blemishes:
Using a concealer brush apply any needed cover up to blemishes in quick, short motions. This way it is much more effective than using your finger.

Flawless Cheekbones:
To do this you'll need a highlighting powder and a bronzer that's to a couple of shades to dark for your skin. Dust the bronzer along the hollows of your cheeks then by smiling you'll be able to see the apples of your cheeks, brush the highlighter along up to your temples.


Cracked Lips when putting on lipstick?
Your lips need exfoliating. You can simply use sugar and honey or a toothbrush in water. Both work for great, smooth lips!

Taking photos using flash?
More heavy make up is needed when taking photos using flash on a camera. This way your make-up will show up the way you want in the photos afterwards.

♡For Daily Youth Facial Hydrating Lotion ♡Face Soap and Clarity Foaming Facial Wash
♡Face Exfoliate Tool ♡Headband
 
♡♡♡
Soap & Glory is one of my most favourite brands; I've tried almost everything. A particular product that I enjoy using is the skin care range. After a shower/bath I use the foaming face wash to cleanse my face followed by the hydrating lotion. My face feels so soft and clean afterwards. They help prevent spots and to brighten up your skin for a glowing everyday look. These products are brilliant, I'll be going to buy new ones when they run out. As for the head band and exfoliate tool; these come in handy when applying moisturisers/face washes. (Saves tying hair up into a bun before hand!) Soap & Glory is available in Boots - Drugstore and Harvey Nichols.
 
Prices:

That doesn't mean you can't read it now(: .It's all about a women called Rachel Summers who breaks up with her boyfriend, and isn't really sure what to do.

Review: Rimmel Make-up♡



♡♡♡
Make-up's a big part of our lives; as we use it everyday its important that we find good products to use. Our favourites at the moment are 'Rimmel London Wake Me Up' and 'Rimmel London Scandleyes Show Off Mascara'. We would recommend these to anyone as the foundation has brilliant coverage, hiding all those unwanted blemishes. As said on the bottle, it gives a radiant glow and gives a natural flawless finish. The price range is from £7.99 - £8.99 depending on where you buy from. The mascara is also a fantastic buy, it builds up your lashes to full volume without gaining any clumps or black under the eyes. The flat brush plumps and the unique ball brush lifts and defines the inner lashes. This mascara comes at a price of £6.99. Both can be purchased from your local drugstore.

Review: BarryM Nail Vanishes♡



♡273 Raspberry ♡337 Pink Silver Glitter ♡312 Indigo ♡313 Dusky Mauve
 ♡66 Matt White ♡X-Mas Glitter

BarryM is one of our favourite nail vanish brands, its apply's smoothly onto the nail and last around 3-4 days before they begin to chip. Raspberry and Indigo are the more pigmented colours and only one coat is needed. Matt white, dusky mauve require more than one coat however, no more than two. BarryM's glitter range looks its best when a top coat of ~54 Clear~ is applied as the glitter tends to come off if not supported by the top coat. These nail vanishes are very affordable and are easy to get hold of as are sold in the drugstore Superdrug. The prices range from £2.99 to £4.99 depending on the type. Overall we would recommend warm colours for the winter and more adventurous radiant colours for the summer months.
