Pantene In-Shower Foam Conditioner Review
In this post I will be reviewing something a new concept (to me anyway!) so when I saw this I had to pick one up and give it a go. So the idea behind this product is that it’s a conditioner for your hair, same as your usual ones you would use after shampooing, but the main differences with this one are that one – it comes out as a foam and not your standard liquid, and two – because it is a foam, it’s more aerated and so more lightweight. I decided to pick up the one for coloured hair as my hair has been coloured and is really…

Smashbox Covershot Palette review in Ablaze
I am so super excited to be doing a review of one of the new Smashbox Covershot palettes (there are 7 in total)! The one I picked up is called Ablaze and is a mixture of beautiful warm firey tones. The colours and pigment in this palette are absolutely amazing, very opaque and yet very little fallout but they also apply amazingly well and blend together seamlessly. There are 7 palettes in Smashbox’s new Covershot range, all of them are permanent editions to the brand, apart from the BOLD palette (bold, bright, matte colours) which is a limited edition. The colous in this palette can seem quit intimidating to some…

Simple Anti-Ageing Strategies*
Hello everyone! Today’s post wont be a review, but something a little different! Let me know if you like these informative types of posts and I can post them more often! 🙂 This post be all about Simple Anti-Ageing Strategies! The anti-ageing industry is huge, and there are now plenty of ways to reverse or cover up most of the natural signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Everything from microdermabrasion to laser treatment can be used to turn back the clock on your skin a bit. But the thing that you might not realize is that there are also simple anti-aging strategies you can use before you…

Day and night look using the YSL Couture eyeshadow palette
So this post will be a little different from the posts I have done before. I have done posts with eye makeup looks in them, but not one based just around that and only using one palette, so thought this would be a fun idea. This may be an idea for posts I do in the future too if you like it, so let me know what you think! Anyway onto the fun part… I received this YSL Couture eyeshadow palette in Surrealiste* a while ago now, and was straight away impressed with the colours and the pigment of each of the shadows, all of which are very easy to…

What’s inside my first Memebox?
This post will be a look into what I got in my first ever Memebox*. At first I thought Memebox was another subscription box service, but when you look into it it’s actually something a bit different but equally as exciting. It’s still a service where you get sent a box with various beauty products in, but this isn’t a monthly subscription, what happens is that all of their boxes are on their website and you just pick the box/boxes you want! They have a selection of different types of boxes too, which means that you can literally find a box to suit your wants/needs! The box I got was…

Natural Honey 7 in 1 Body Lotion Review
I have been using this product for quite a long time now (it’s nearly finished so look out for it in my next empties post!) I decided it’s time I did a review on it. I got this Natural Honey 7 in 1 body lotion in one of my Birchboxes quite a few months ago. I remember at the time being excited about trying it as it’s a really decent size to get in a monthly beauty box as it is a 75ml bottle. I have quite a bad habit of throwing out the little cards that come with the boxes explaining what everything does, which is normally okay except when – like…

Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo
This review will be on the Ultimate Blends Shampoo by Garnier. It was first recommended to me by a work colleague and I’m all for recommendations so obviously I purchased it as soon as I could. The one I picked up was the one for dry/dull hair which has argan and camellia oils in it and is also paraben free which is a huge bonus too. It appealed to me straight away as the packaging is really lovely. It’s not too girlie or over-done, just nice and simple but with a bright eye-catching colour. Within the range they have others for coloured hair and other various ones with different coloured…

Empties #2
So this is my second ever empties post and I am really excited to be writing this post as I have always been quite bad for not always finishing products. I am the sort of person who jumps from one product to the other a lot of the time – but since having my blog it’s given me a reason to fully finish products and I must say it’s a very satisfying feeling! I can see empties posts becoming a fast favourite of mine to put up here! Plus they are one of my favourite types of blog posts to read (and watch on YouTube). Anyway, onto the empty products!…

What’s in my Birchbox? May 2014
Birchbox this month teamed up with Harper’s Bazaar to create a box that isn’t only beautiful (and isn’t it just?) but also which is designed to “prepare you for a season’s worth of outdoor adventures”. This has to be one of my favourite ever boxes I have received. Birchbox – to me – seem to be getting better and better as time goes on, and this box certainly is proof of that. Birchbox Website. Okay so onto what I got in this Birchbox – the important part! In each box you always get a little card telling you what each item is, how to use it, and how much it…

Bioderma Micelle Solution Face and Eye makeup remover/cleanser
In this post I will be doing a review of the Bioderma Micelle Solution face and eye cleanser* I will start off by saying that I have heard such amazing things about this product from other bloggers and youtubers that when I was given the opportunity to review it from Farmaline I jumped at the chance! In case you haven’t heard about this product, I will give you a quick overview of what it is all about… it’s a non-rinse, fragrance free and soap free cleanser and eye makeup remover (including waterproof makeup), and it really does what it says on the tin (bottle)! I don’t like makeup removers which are…
