Nail Detox

Last month I gave my nails a nail detox. Now you may be wondering what that means and thats what I am going to explain to you in this blog post. I think it's really important to care for your nails as much as you would for your face. This is why I decided to give my nails a detox, no nail polish for a month. This allowed my nails to breath and repair as they were quite damaged.
Now you may be wondering why you would need a detox for your nails.Well, because, if like me, you are a fan of having your nails done, either with gel, shellac, acrylic or just normal polish, then you will know that your nails can be damaged, and if we constantly redo our nails for an extended period of time then they have no time to breath and grown healthily. For one month no polish or any thing coating your nails, let them breath and you will see a difference in your nails. I recommend doing this at least 3 times a year to make sure your nails stay healthy.

I hope this has helped you out, and you have found out something new. Remember, your nails are just as important as your skin.

Seasonal Favourites - Winter 2015

Another season is coming to an end, so today I am sharing with you some of the things I have been loving in the last few month.

Kerastase Nectar Thermique

Recently I have been styling my hair a lot more, so I wanted some protection for my hair. I love this, it's really light weigh. Highly recommend.

Burberry Body Perfume

I received this for Christmas and I have been reaching for it a lot recently. It's a fresh perfume and great for everyday.

Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil

I have being using this on a daily basis, it feels really luxurious on your lips while giving them gloss and really hydrating them.

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm

A must have product for me. I always apply this before I go to bed. Best lip balm ever, to apply at night, very thick and moisturising.

Nuxe Reve de Miel Night cream

I use this as a night cream and it works exactly like the lip balm, but just for the face. Great night cream.

The Detox Kitchen bible

I have being using this book nearly every day. It has some really healthy, yet tasty recipes. Really love this book.

Madeline Shaw Website

If I have not been cooking from the Detox Kitchen book, then I have been using her website for recipes. She has some amazing recipes on her website which you have to check out.

Well that's all for now. I will see you all very soon. I hope this has helped you out.

Simple Everyday Makeup - Makeup Menu

Today I thought I would share with you my everyday makeup. It's super quick and looks very natural, so lets get started.

Base

For base I use normally just concealer. The one I am currently using is the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, as it works as an all in one concealer. However if I do want a bit of coverage I use the Chanel Healthy Glow, it works as a tinted moisturiser perfectly. To set everything, I use the Soap and Glory one heck of a blot powder which sets everything perfectly. For blush I love the Chanel Blush in  Innocence, very natural and goes with any look.

Eyes

For primer I use the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin, to set everything in place. Then, I would, most days use the Dior Eye Reviver Palette and use the second and/or third shade. Then either use a liquid liner like the Dior one or I use a more subtle one like the Sephora One in Iced Mocha. Then I add a bit of mascara, the one I am currently loving is the Clinique High Impact Mascara 

Lips 

I normally stick to something very natural like the Sephora lip gloss in Rose Petal or the Clarins Lip Oil which give a nice gloss to the lips.

And that's it make up done super easy, I hope this helped you out.

Thanks for reading.

NYE Make Up Menu

I hope you all had a great Christmas. Today I am coming to you with a make up menu for NYE if you are going out to a party. It's a smokey more dramatic eye with a more nude lip. So, here we go.

I am going to start with the eyes. First prime your eyes with the Urban Decay Eden primer. Then add the Giorgio Armani Eye Tint in the shade 7 all over the lid. I recently got this and it's amazing as base for a smokey eye. A little goes a long way. On top you can add a dark taupe or brown. I think that the Dior Eye Reviver Palette and the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette have very good colours or if you want to go all out then the Naked Smokey is perfect. To add a bit more drama you can finish it off with some black in the crease. Then add a thin line of black liquid liner. I love the Tom Ford one. Top it all off with a little mascara and if you want some false lashes.

Next base. To start with whatever base you normally use I like the Bobbi Brown BB cream as a light base, but you can use whatever you are comfortable with. Then I use the Nars Radiant Concealer and the Mac Prep And Prime in the shade light boost. To add a bit of colour. Then to set everything I would recommend the Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot, as it is a translucent powder. For blush I would go with something a bit more discreet nothing too bright, I like the Chanel blush in the Shade Innocent. For bronzer I would use my regular bronzer which is it Dior Nude Air Tan 

Lips this is a personal preference as to what colours you like if you want a more natural lip or you want to go all out with a red lip as well. I love the Sephora Lip glosses in Rose Petal and the Dior Lip polish for more natural colours. Or if you want to go for a red lip then I chose the Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Pirate or the Mac lipstick in Russian Red.

There you have it, your new years eve make up sorted. I hope you all had a great 2015 and have an even better 2016.

I will see you all in the New Year with more exiting posts. Still same time, Wednesdays at 5pm GMT

Seasonal Favourites- Autumn Edition

As autumn is coming to a close it is time for me to share with you my favourites, of the last 3 months. For those of you who haven't seen my other seasonal favourites, then you can check them out here. But without further ado let's get started.

The Body Shop Body Butter 

I have recently rediscovered this moisturiser. I have been using it in the Moringa scent which is really floral and fresh. Great to use in the morning as it is not to greasy. I found it to be really hydrating, which I love. Prefect for the colder months.

Acqua Di Parma perfume 

I was given a sample of this perfume a few months ago, and fell in love with the scent. So, recently I received a full size as a gift from a close friend of mine. I have been wearing it so much, it is the prefect scent of autumn/winter. Mine is in the scent magnolia nobile. It is an amazing scent. Love it.

Essie Nail Polish 

I love Essie nail polishes in general and these few months my favourites have been Bahama Mama and Chinchilly, which I actually got in a set. They are the types of colours I like to wear in the colder months. Ether dark berry and red or grey/mushroom colour. Love them, they last on me for a week without any chips.

Chanel Les Beiges All In One Healthy Glow 

This is a perfect base if you want a really light coverage tinted moisturiser. I love it, it just evens everything out,  giving you a flawless finish. It also smells amazing.

Urban Decay Primer Potion 

In my last monthly favourites I included this product as well, but today instead of Sin, I will be taking about Eden. I have been loving it recently, unlike Sin it is a matte primer with a bit of coverage. It evens out your eyelids if you have any veins you can see, it also keeps you eyeshadow in place all day. It's so good. Love it.

Dior Eye Reviver Backstage pro Palette 

I have a whole review on this product on my blog which I will link here sharing with you my thoughts, on this product. Recently I have been reaching for it a lot, because it has some really nice colours to create a really neutral look. To add a little more, you can use the darker colours from the palette.

Dior Art Pen. 

I ran out of my last eyeliner, so I thought I would try out something new. I love this eyeliner so much as it has a very long thin brush, perfect for doing a really thin or thick line. It is also super black which is great. Fabulous eyeliner.

Sephora Lip Gloss

I have fallen in love with their lip gloss in the shade Rose petal. It is the perfect your lips but better colour. Perfect everyday lip gloss. Super easy to apply and really comfortable to wear.

Mac Lip Pencil

I have been wearing this lip liner with a lipstick I will share with you in a moment. It's easy to apply and lasts for a long time. You could just apply the lip liner and clear gloss and you would be good to go. Really nice product.

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick

I absolutely love this lip gloss stick. I have it in the shade Raplumzel which is a lovely berry colour. Perfect to add a little colour to the lips.

Co Lab Dry Shampoo

I love this dry shampoo, it's super cheap.Works amazing. Does the job really well. Perfect for when you just don't have time to wash your hair. Highly recommend.

Thats all guys. I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Next week I will be posting Monday and Wednesday, Friday, all at 5pm( GMT ). Stay tuned for some very exiting stuff coming your way.

Becky's Review-Empties # 1

Today I am doing something a little different. It's going to be a product empties, which for those of you that don't know it's a review of products you've used up. I find these types of reviews very helpful as you know exactly what the person thinks after using up all of the product. For some of the products shown I have done a whole post, so I will link those for you as they are much more detailed.

Let's get started.

Zoella Beauty Soak Opera 

Lets say it was not the best shower gel I have used, however it was ok nothing wrong with it. I just was not a massive fan of the consistency of it. Otherwise it was ok, the smell was nice it lasted a long time. However I don't think I will repurchase it.

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel 

I did a whole review on this product, so if you want to find out more I will link it here. But in a nutshell it was AMAZING totally worth all the hype, the only downside is the price and the fact you don't know when it has finished. I would definitely repurchase it.

Soap and Glory Hand Food 

It was a very good hand cream for it's price. For me it is more of an overnight hand cream as it does leave your hands quite greasy. It had a really nice scent, the signature Soap and Glory scent. However I would not repurchase it only because I do prefer Crabtree&Evelyn Hand creams. It is a really good hand cream I you want something not too expensive.

Bioderma Solution Micellaire 

I love this product I have gone through countless bottles of this stuff. I have a review about it which I will link here. But it is the best make up remover I have tried. However it is much more expensive if you buy it outside of France, so if you are going to France then definitely pick it up from a pharmacy.

The Body Shop shower gels 

I really have started to like Body Shop recently as a whole and I do really like their shower gels. They are at a good price, smell amazing and lather up really well. Overall I would repurchase them and all ready have back ups .

Hello Mouthwash 

I have tried all of there flavours and my favourite has to be the Mojito mint, although they are all really nice. They have now become my mouthwash, so nice. Highly recommended.

Batiste Dry Shampoo 

I usually do like Batiste dry shampoos, they are really good, however the dry shampoo that is designed for a specific hair colour I did not like. Whenever I applied it left my hands a dark grey colour it was not very nice. I have repurchased the normal ones, but I will not be repurchasing the Plus ones.

Soap and Glory Righteous Butter 

This was a really nice body butter lasted a very long time. Had a really nice scent and I would definitely buy it again.

Soap and Glory Foam Call 

I was not a massive fan of the scent therefore I won't be buying it again.

Crabtree &Evelyn Hand Cream 

These are by far my favourite hand creams. They are really moisturising, lovely scents, sink into your skin really fast. I have already repurchased several hand creams from them.

Kerastase Elixir Masque 

This is a lovely luxurious product it really nourishes your hair. I have gone through several tubs of these. I would highly recommend this product. Definitely would repurchase this product.

Soap and glory Daily Youth Face Wash  

Great morning face wash. Really nice texture and not too expensive. I would repurchase this face wash.

La Roche Posay Tolerane Face cream 

Lovely face cream just very small and did not last a long time. Otherwise a good allrounder face cream. Highly recommend.

Nivea Lip Butter 

I have written a whole review on this product, so I will link it here. I do really like this product however the only thing I don't like is that it is in a pot rather than tube. Since writing this review I have found different lip balms that I prefer using at night and I use a different lip balm during the day which I will mention later in this post.

Body Shop Body Butter 

I have started reusing a lot of Body Shop products and one of them is their body butter. I really like this product I have purchased it lots of different scents. Overall I really like this product and I would and already have repurchased it.

Soap and Glory Beauty Sleep Accelerator 

I really loved this night cream it was really nice and thick, but also would not sit on the skin. Great price for a great product. It also had a very nice relaxing scent.

Burt's Bees Lip Balm 

This has become my new favourite lip balm to carry in my handbag: it is small and gets the job done. Moisturising and cheap. I have already repurchased another tube.

La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra 

I really like this cream more than just the Toleriane because it has a pump, it lasts longer, you can use it morning and night. I have already repurchased this product.

Chanel Stylo Eye Liner 

It was a good eyeliner, but I think the brush was a bit too thick. I don't thick I will be repurchasing this eyeliner as I have found better ones.

Soap and Glory Face Soap and Clarity 

I loved this face wash it was my favourite from Soap and Glory great for daily use. Would repurchase this for sure.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer 

Really great cheap concealer. Great if you are looking for something on a budget. Highly recommend.

Soap and Glory The Fab Pore 

Really great face cream, nothing special, but perfect for every day use. Would repurchase.

So that brings us to the end of this post. Hope it was helpful for you guys and you got some ideas of products to try and products to skip. See you all next week with a new post same place same time Wednesday 5pm (GMT).

Review- Dior Eye Reviver Backstage Pros

Today I am back with another review, this time for the Dior Eye Reviver Backstage Pros Palette. I have had this palette for a few months and have started using it more recently, so I thought I would share my thoughts on it with you guys.

The palette comes with 5 eyeshadows with a hint of shimmer in them and a black gel eyeliner which I, personally don't really like. However these eyeshadows are amazing they are really easy to apply, perfect to wear everyday. This palette reminds me of the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette however the shimmer edition. For any neural eyeshadow lover I would definitely recommend this palette it's great to travel with or just to pop in your make up bag.

My Rating 4.5/5 - because of the eyeliner.

I hope this was helpful for you guys. See you all next week Wednesday 5pm (GMT)

Favourite Summer Things 2015

I was browsing through my Bloglovin feed and came across this post on Amelia Liana's blog. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourite things that I have been loving throughout the last few months. So, let's get started.

The first thing I wanted to mention was my Mac eyeshadow in Nylon. I have been wearing this daily, along with some other product which I will mention later in this post. This is a white frosty eyeshadow it makes a look very simple and elegant. You can also use it in the inner corner of your eyes or all over your lid.

Next I would like to talk about one of my favourite eyeshadow primers I have tried. I tried most of the Urban Decay primer potions, which I had samples off and so far my favourite is the shade Sin.  I can really see a difference when I use this primer. It has a bit of shimmer, so you can get away with wearing it alone. I like to wear it under the Mac eyeshadow for an every day make up look.

I am a massive eyeliner fan, I think eyeliner can make or break an eyeshadow look. Recently I have been loving the Chanel liquid eyeliner. You can easily change the thickness of the line depending how you hold it. It also lasts all day even though it's not waterproof.

I recently ran out of my concealer so I thought I would try the Nars radiance creamy concealer. I now understand why everyone loves it. It blends really easily, it does not cake on your face and it's really a great multi use concealer. Highly recommend.

Now I have been wearing this lipstick all summer. It's the Dior Tye Dye Lipstick from their summer collection, but a very similar one from their permanent collection is the Dior addict lipstick in the shade 578 Dior Xx. It's a great everyday pink as it's not too bright but just adds a bit of colour to your lips.

One of my favourite perfumes for the spring and summer has been  Miss Dior blooming bouquet. It's very floral, but gentle at the same time.  Great perfume, if you like floral, sweet fragrances.

One of my fashion favourites has been my Ray Ban Erika sunglasses,which I have seen everybody wearing.  I love them because they go with basically everything, they also make your outfit just a bit more casual. Furthermore they suit nearly all face shapes, which is also great.

Now an app I have been using daily, just before I go to sleep. The app is called Calm and it's a meditating and mindfulness app, I find it really relaxing. What I love about is that they have guided sessions where they tell you what to do, which I find really useful as I am no expert in meditation.

I hope you guys are having a great week and I will see you next week same place same time Wednesday 5pm (GMT)

Becky xoxo
