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.

Review- Erin Condren Life Planner

As it is the New Year, I know that some of you are going to be changing your diaries or agendas, so I thought that I would share with you my throughs on the Erin Conrad Life Planner. Let's get started.

I bought the personalised metallic Life Planner, in turquoise colour, with vertical weekly layout. I personally think this is a great planner if you want something to keep on your desk as it is very big diary and I think that is very impractical to carry it around. I really wish they made a smaller version, as that would make it must more practical. I also think that if you want a creative layout then this would be awesome for you as it really to easy personalise. Personally I think it is on the pricier side considering that it's not leather, it's just plastic. It comes with a few stickers and a perpetual calendar. You get a monthly spread and then a weekly spread, with 3 boxes each day which you can use for whatever you want. However I have now stopped using it, not because I don't like, but because I have gone digital with my diary, which it is much easier for me to use. I also want to add that I got a very good customer service and I love the brand as a whole. I do own a notebook from them which I use all the time. 

Overall great planner if you don't want to take it around with you. Also they have very good international shipping. 

Thats all for today, I hope that helped you out if you were thinking of buying it. I will see you all next week, with a new post.

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- Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser

I like trying new products, so today I am sharing my thoughts on a cleanser I have been using over the last few months. This is the Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser.

This is a thick white cleanser with little blue beads in it. It has a very subtle fragrance which I don't really mind. This cleaner is targeted specific for oily and combination skin and after having used it for a while I understand why. It strips your skin off all the oil and leaves your skin feeling very tight. I personally don't like very much as I find it quite uncomfortable, however if you have very oily skin you may enjoy it. One think you need to be warned of, is that if this gets in your eyes it stings really badly, so avoid your eye area. Now the question is whether I would repurchase it and the answer is no. It's nothing special and I personally think it's quite expensive for what it is. I have used much better products that are cheaper, such as Body shop face washes and Soap and Glory. They are also great products at a fraction of the price of this face wash which retails for £19 . This may be for you if you have very oily skin, but otherwise I would skip this one.

My rating 3/5

I hope this was helpful. I will see you all next week with another 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)

Becky's Product Reviews- Louboutin Nail Polish

I was lucky enough to receive this exquisite Rouge Louboutin Nail Polish nail polish for Christmas and I have been trying it out since. Want to know my thoughts on it? Keep reading.

This is the most exciting and different nail polish packaging I have ever seen. You may think that the long applicator may be annoying. In fact it's actually useful as makes painting your nails easier, because it feels like you are holing a paint brush. Now let's talk about the actual product itself. You can easily get away with just one coat but I always apply two as it provides a really lovely thick opaque colour, very easily. After painting my nails I did not feel the need to add a top coat as this nail polish left your nails really shiny and they lasted around 7 days before I feel I needed to redo them. Overall this is a fabulous nail polish, it's a great present idea and also a great treat for all you nail polish lovers out there. However if you do not feel like spending so much money on a nail polish then don't worry there are some great cheaper nail polishes out there for you . This nail polish retails for £36. 

Overall I would rate this product a 4.5/5 just because of its hefty price tag. 

See you all next week same time, same place Wednesdays 5pm (GMT)
