Mini boots haul

Hi guys!
I had to go pick fifa 15 up on Friday so while I was there I thought I would treat myself to something from boots as a reward for being a nice person.

Firstly I got collection concealer, I have heard so many good things about this and just had to give it a go! I picked the palest colour as I want it for under my eyes and wanted one a little paler than my skin so it would highlighted too.

Soap & glory had a buy one get one half price offer on, so after a lot of deliberation I chose a lipstick in the colour barely there pink which smells of vanilla and looks amazing. And I also got the nude eye palette as I have been wanting some more nude eye shadows for a while now.

I don't have any eye shadow brushes so I bought a no7 one as there were no real techniques one. (I'm actually regretting this purchase now as I've used it and hate it).

I had another visit to boots on Sunday and bought three maybelline colour tattoo eye shadows in on and on bronze, rose pink and a gold one.

I am super excited to try all of these products (except for the no7 brush)!!

Shower routine before interview

Hi guys!
As you know I love the soap & glory breakfast scrub and have used it every day for the past month or so, but I have a very important interview tomorrow and so I wanted to make sure that I smelled amazing! I thought I would do a quick.post as to what products I used for my pre interview shower.

I started by using the garnier ultimate blends shampoo and conditioner with argan oils and camellia oil as they are amazing and leave my hair silky and smooth! They also smell pretty nice too!

I leave the conditioner in my hair while I wash my face and body. I used the scrub of your life and clean on me, both by soap & glory as I love the smell and I think it smells more fresh than the breakfast scrub, and more like a good interview smell!
I used sanctuary hot cloth cleanser on my face as I want to use it all up before I start the liz earle one properly. I used a pink flannel from primark to wash it off as the cloth that came with it is being washed.
For the first time in ages I used a body butter after the shower and I used soap & glory the righteous butter as it smells like the clean on me shower gel and smells so gorgeous!

I tried to keep the scents all the same so that none were competing with each other and there wouldn't be any weird combination of smells!

do you do anything different to your shower routine when you have a big day?

My mini boots haul

Hi lovelies,
I have also done a video on this :-)

L temporarily lifted my spending ban at the weekend while we were in Sunderland and we were in boots so I had to buy something :-)
We also bought my mam a burts bees hand cream, cuticle cream and lip balm and a vanilla body set but I didn't take any photos before I gave them to her 😯

Firstly I bought the no7 protect and perfect serum, I am not too worried about wrinkles yet but it promises to clear skin too. It was £23.95 I think but we had a voucher to get a fiver off! I haven't really read any reviews about this but I wanted a serum and this is as good as any. I started using it this morning and the only thing I noticed was how much thicker it was than the benefit instant comeback serum (which I want when I have money to spend).

I got the benefit mini box which was £14.50 but we used the points on our boots card to buy it (I persuaded L by saying technically we weren't spending money 😛). I can't wait to try these properly!! I already have a skincare routine in place so I'm in the process of working out where these can fit into it. I have wanted to try these for a while but didn't want to buy the full sized products in case I didn't like them as they are quite expensive. 

Lastly I bought my favourite thing of the whole trip, the soap & glory breakfast scrub. I mentioned on twitter and Instagram how amazing this is. It smells of maple and I am in love with it!! I didn't even want a Scrub, I still have most of the scrub of your life mini that I got at Christmas but I had to have this! I have used it every time I have been in the shower since then as it smells so delicious!! I am hoping they bring out more products with this smell as I will buy them all!!

Have you tried any of these products?

My new obsession with soap and glory breakfast scrub

Hi lovelies,
I have neglected this blog a little this week but I have been very busy with work and the house, and then we had to go to Sunderland to see my family which is where I am now. I will try to be better organised in future.

This post.is not a review at all as I have only used this product once but I had to tell everyone about it because it smells.so good!
I was in boots with L looking for presents for my mam and he came across the soap & glory breakfast scrub.  He sniffed it and thought it was awful so made me sniff it and oh my word I fell in love!! It smells of maple and it smells.good enough to eat.
Those of you who regularly read my blog will know that I love the original smell and buy pretty much anything that smells of it but I love the maple smell better. It is amazing and so sweet and I can not describe how much I love it!!
I am hoping that they will bring out the  body butter to match this smell soon as I couldn't see it while in the store but I know that if it exists I want it and I want it  now!

If you love the smell of maple and you like body scrubs go check this one out!!

June favourites

Hey lovelies, I did try to do this as a you tube video but then I got a bit shy so here are my June favourites:

Benefit porefessional; I think everyone is loving this product right now.  It can be used alone or under foundation and it feels so amazing. It minimises the appearance of pores, and it smooths out the skin so creates the perfect base to apply makeup over.

Soap & glory one heck of a blot: I have been raving about this product so much but I love it. It is so cute, and it makes my skin so matte and doesn't remove any of my other makeup which is perfect.

Soap & glory peach party:this is in my favourites because I think it is a really good colour for the summer but it is a little too shimmery so I apply powder over the top of it to reduce the shimmer slightly.  You can build up the colour as required, and can use each triangle of colour separately if you want which I think would be good for contouring and highlighting. 

Garnier ultimate blends shampoo for dry dull hair: I don't actually have dull hair but L bought it as it was in offer and I love it!! It smells so nice and a little goes a long way!  Normally I go through about 6-8 shampoos every month as my hair is so thick so I have to use quite a bit but I have been using this bottle for about 5 weeks and it's still got about quarter of a bottle in it which is amazing!! It makes my hair feel so soft and gorgeous too and even L loves using it. I haven't tried the conditioner yet as L didn't buy it but that is on my to do list.

spa sanctuary hot cloth cleanser: I have done a post about how amazing this product is and I love it so much. I use it whenever I am in the shower and it removes all traces of makeup. It smells so gorgeous and leaves my skin amazingly clean. It is definitely worth a try.

No7 lip crayon and soap &glory sey mother pucker in pink out loud: together these lip products make the perfect colour. It is so girly, summery and gives my lips a gorgeous shine. I don't know what the colour of the No7 crayon is as it has worn off but it is like a darker pink colour.

None beauty favourites:
My favourite TV show: devious maids- it is so interesting and I can't stop watching it.  My sister actually made me watch the first season on skygo and I got hooked. There is so much drama and you get to follow the lives of maids who work for rich people and there are so many secrets and plot twists.  The second season is on now and I love it.

Books: I have just reread the Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown, I love these and if you haven't read them you should. They keep you guessing and there is so many twists in the story lines. I love these so much.

Food: I am addicted to poached eggs right now. I can't get enough of them and the yolk is so yummy when the egg is poached.

That's all for my June favourites, hope you have enjoyed reading.

Get unready with me shower night

Hi lovelies,
I was meant to post this yesterday but due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to so here it is today :-)
I actually have 2 getting unready routines, one for the night that I am having a shower and one for the night that I'm not. I do only shower every two days except when I am on holiday as I then go swimming everyday so also wash my hair everyday.
This is the routine I use while in the shower.

I always wash my hair first, and at the minute I am using garnier ultimate blends shampoo for dry dull hair.
This shampoo is amazing and only a tiny amount is needed to wash the hair as it lathers up really well. It leaves my hair looking and feeling so clean and smells nice too. It is my favourite shampoo currently so us worth a try if you're looking for a new shampoo. I don't always condition my hair (hear me out, I have really sensitive skin on my scalp and a lot of shampoos and conditioners aggravate it, so I can't use 2 in 1 products and can't even use t-gel products so I do have to be very careful with what I use. When I use a conditioner, even when I don't apply it all the way to the roots my hair either looks so oily or my skin starts to flake. I do rinse my hair really well so I am not sure why it looks so oily but that is why I don't always condition. If anyone knows any really good conditioner that won't do this then please let me know ☺)

After I have washed my hair I shave (in the summer I shave my legs every two days while in the shower, in the winter it is maybe once a week as I don't show my legs off as much). I then use the soap & glory sugar crush.
This smells amazing, I do prefer the original scent but L likes this one better so this is the one that is currently in our shower. It smells citrusy which is why L loves it but it does make me feel so refreshed which I love. I use the soap & glory pouffe thing to wash too as I don't feel as clean if I just wash with my hands.
This is when I move onto my face. I use the spa sanctuary brightening facial hot cloth cleanser. I have done a review of this product and I love it. It is so creamy and smells so nice, but also manages to remove all traces of makeup without a fuss! I try to clean the cloth after I have used it but there is a small amount of makeup on it at the minute so I am going to have to wash it in the washing machine.
After this cleanser I use the clinique 3 step soap, I got the bar rather than the liquid soap as it was recommended by the lady at the counter and so far it has been good. I actually use the cloth from the hot cloth cleanser to wash this off too as it just makes me feel cleaner.
After I get out of the shower I do steps 2 and 3 of the clinique 3 step (I am number 3 for those of you that are interested). I use a cotton pad for step 2 and apply step 3 with my fingers as I feel like it melts into my skin a bit better this way.

I then apply eye cream, which at the minute is benefit it's potent eye cream.

I dry my hair and then I am good to go to sleep.

Do you use any of these products?what is your night time routine?

Soap & glory one heck of a blot

I have been using this powder for a couple of weeks now and I am in love with it, I feel like I have been saying that alot about soap & glory products recently.  Before I get into my reveiw properly I will briefly mention the powder I had before this.
I was using FitMe powder in the lightest colour they had but even this was a bit orangey for me.  I applied it using a large brush to try and prevent myself from looking tangoed, and when I first applied it it looked OK but after an hour or so I guess it oxidised or something as it would go much darker.  It would also cling to any dry patches on my skin, so I was in the situation where without powder I would look shiny but with it it would look cakey.
This is when I saw soap & glory on offer in Boots and purchased the one heck of a blot powder.
The first thing to note is the colour, it is perfect for me!! It is such a nice light colour and doesn't darken as the say wears on.  It also doesn't cling to any dry or oily patches so makes my skin look flawless, and it keeps the shine away for the majority of the day.  After about 8 hours my skin gets a little shiny but one quick application of this and I am good to go!! I have never found a powder that I love as much as this before.
The packaging is cute, it is just a plastic container, but it has a mirror in it that is the size of the container which I love as it means I can apply my powder quickly without having to try and find a mirror somewhere.  I also think it is cute the way that the word powder is raised out of the powder (although mine have worn away a little due to using the powder).
Altogether I would repurchase the powder again, it is amazing and I would go as far as to say it is my 'holy grail' powder (if there is such a thing) and I have never described any product in this way.

Have you tried this powder? What do you think about it?
