March Favourites!



So it's finally April *cheers*. The clocks have gone forward so it's going to start getting light early and staying light for longer which will make it feel a lot more summery outside, let's just hope the temperature goes up a bit, haha! All of these products are relatively new, but I've worn them to death whilst I've had them.

Lasting finish by Kate Moss in 08



This is my first lipstick from the Kate Moss collection for Rimmel and I love it! It's one of them 'your lip colour, but better'. It applies nicely and is very pigmented. It lasted me three-four hours without eating and drinking, but after eating or drinking another layer would be required although after eating or drinking the colour can still be seen. The only bad point is that it is a little drying, so I use a nivea lip balm as a base before applying the lipstick. If you fancy having a look you can check out all of the other shades here 

Sinful Colors - Pinky glitter




This nail varnish is so pretty! When I applied this I didn't use a basecoat or topcoat and I totally regret it; when wearing this a basecoat is 100% necessary. I put three coats of this on and that was when I got an opaque colour, so if you have no patience and don't like having to wait for you nails to dry before adding another coat then this isn't for you. Whilst on the colour is a light pink with obvious amounts of glitter. I never thought that I would spend £1.99 on a nail varnish, but this was to pretty to leave behind.

Simple - hydrating light moisturizer 

I apply this before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning and I just find that it's such a beautiful product. I bought this from primark for £1 and I love it! It has no fragrance and the littles amount does plenty. The only downside is that it is hard to get out of the bottle as the bottle is hard to squeeze and when it does come out you don't want too much because like I said before a small amount does plenty.

Meybelline the rocket volume express mascara 


I got this mascara off my mum and it's the best! Before this mascara I used one from avon which is now my second favourite. I used to wear about eight different mascaras and I'm not being dramatic and then with just using a couple of coats of this one makes my eyelashes look perfect it does not clump them them together and it also makes them look longer which is great. Check it out here

Rimmel London 1000 kisses





I have used this whenever I go out and it's such a nice colour. It's not quite red it's more of a pinky red colour although it does look red by the container and the swatch. I've found that the colour lasts until you want to eat or drink and then another coat will be needed. This product however is not great for chapped lips as it will highlight them and really make the chappednes stand out. I'm also struggling at the moment as it is deciding that it doesn't want to work very well, but I think it gives you instructions on the packaging on how to make it easier to use.

February Favourites

February hasn't been a bad month for beauty products. I've tried new products and even rekindled my love for some older ones. These are the products that I have been loving through February!



Soap and Glory - Body wash - Sugar Crush LINK



I have been using this product for a couple of months now. I bought it in December and have used it every time that I've had a shower since then! Considering the amount of times that I've used it, I still have a lot of it left, it's lasted a lot longer than I thought it was going to. The smell is also great, my mum and I both love it! The soap also leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft, which is great.

The Body Shop - Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist LINK




I've been loving this! This just smells great, I wear it most days and it's just a nice scent it's light, fruity and floral. It's not an overpowering smell, but a couple of people have noticed it and commented on how nice it smells. I bought this at the start of February and I've used it that much that most of it has gone; I've used at least half of it!


The Body Shop - Born Lippy in Pomegranate LINK


I have been using this product everyday since I bought it around the start of the month, and it's definitely a favourite. I suffer with chapped lips a lot, especially in the winter and thanks to this they haven't been that bad, once my lips started to get chapped I would put this on every morning and within two days it would be cleared up. It also leaves a red tint to lips and tastes great! 


The Body Shop - Vitamin E Moisture Cream LINK




I haven't had this product for a long time, but I love it! It's great for dry skin, as that is the reason that I bought it because I was getting really dry skin on my face and this cleared 99% of it up over night! It also leaves skin feeling soft and smooth and not sticky. When applying you don't need to use a lot, I dip my finger into the cream and if I do that about four times, I've used enough for my whole face. See my full review here link

Primark - Nail Varnish Remover Wipes




My mum bought me these back after she had been shopping. They come in a pack of two and are great! When I first saw them, my first thoughts were that they were going to be terrible and that it was a waste of a £1, but I tried them and they are brilliant. By far the best nail varnish remover wipes around. I prefer using wipes and I've tried a lot of brands and only found one that I liked, but then this came along! These are just amazing. The wipes are only little, but I managed to only use two (One for each hand) These also smell great, I hate the smell of nail varnish remover, but these don't smell like nail varnish remover at all.

The Body Shop || Vitamin E Moisture Cream

A couple of days ago, I noticed that my skin was starting to dry out... and I had no cream to sort it out with. I did my research and found out that I needed a good Vitamin E moisturizer, so the first place that I looked was the body shop, as I know they have a range of Vitamin E products. I had a browse through the products on the website and found what I wanted, it cost £4 for 15ml or £11 for 50ml, so my first reaction was to go for the smaller version just to test it out, as my face doesn't like a lot of products on it because I have sensitive especially on my face.

When I actually went into the store, they didn't have the 15ml size, so I got my brother to ask the woman behind the counter and she said that they don't do a 15ml size... Even though I know I have seen a 15ml one on the website, so she started going on about how they must stock more items on the website or something. I went back and had a look at all the products again and decided on getting the Vitamin E moisture cream for all skin types for £10, it may only be a £1 knocked off, but a £1 is a £1.



This is an absolute life saver... I bought it this morning and applied it as soon as I got home and my dry skin has practically no more! It's about 95% clear already! It's not greasy at all and you don't need to use that much, I put a little bit on my finger and do that about 5 times and that's it! The cream it's self is a pale pink colour and has a nice smell to it, the smell is nothing special, but it could be worse. It is a little pricey, but it's totally worth it! It also quickly absorbs, so it is great for quick application and lasts all day, it's also left my skin all healthy looking and feeling soft. I would definitely recommend this product as it has become an instant favourite for me and I'm sure that it will last a long time.
