Nivea in-shower Body Moisturiser Review
Today’s blog post review is on the Nivea in-shower body moisturiser. This is a really affordable product at just £3.40 for a large 400 ml bottle. You can get it either for dry skin, or for normal skin (which is the one I got). I got this product due to having heard good things from a friend at work about it. When I first picked it up, in all honesty, I was completely confused as to who this product was aimed at, or what it was supposed to do! This is because on the back it says to use AFTER using your normal shower gel/body wash (so isn’t for cleaning…

John Frieda Frizz ease Shampoo and Conditioner Review (+ Curl Enhancing Oil)
TodayI will be doing a review on the John Frieda Frizz-ease Hydrating shampoo and conditioner duo*. A few months ago I did a review on the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette shampoo and conditioner, which I also do like, but I think I prefer the frizz ease range! As far as “drugstore/highstreet” shampoos and conditioners go, I am impressed with these! Usually with my hair care I prefer the higher end products and brands, such as Redken and Ojon, but, these two products here actually do feel more premium than not which I like. The scent from them both is nice but nothing special really. I like the fact that they…

Beauty UK Blushes Review
This post will be reviewing the Beauty UK blushes. I picked these two blushes up from Superdrug for £3.99 each, but they were on an offer of buy one get one half price, so it averaged out I got them for around £3 each. Bargain. In all honesty I had never even heard of the brand Beauty UK before, but these blushes caught my eye as they are baked, and very shimmery. I decided to get two colours, Rose Rouge 2 and Halo 3. Rose Rouge 2 is a lovely pink shade with a little shimmer, and Halo 3 in all honesty, is more of a highlighter. The blushes from…

Kate Moss Matte Rimmel Lipstick Review
This post is going to be a review on the Kate Moss Matte Rimmel Lipsticks. Obviously I won’t be reviewing the entire range, of shades, but in having two it gives me a good idea of how the products rate overall, and in short, I like them! I like Rimmel lipsticks in general, so was quite interested in these matte lipsticks when I first saw them. It always worried me with matte looking lipsticks that they would look/feel very dry, and in a way it is true and you do have to be careful, but what I liked about these is that they didn’t look dry, and they only started…

Favourite Winter Scent – TheWinterProject
This week is week 3 of The Winter Project, and it is the last week of the winter themed posts. Next week we move onto the Christmas themed posts! Can’t wait! For this post though it is all about favourite winter scents, so I decided to do it on a perfume I have been loving right now. Lola by Marc Jacobs. As you can see from the picture above the bottle is so pretty. I love the look of all of the Marc Jacobs perfume bottles (my review on the Marc Jacobs Dot perfume here). When I first ever saw the Marc Jacobs perfumes I was instantly drawn to the…

SunJunkie Fake Tan (Mousse and Mist) Review
The product I decided I wanted to post up a review on today is a couple of products from the SunJunkie Sunless tanning range. Until recently (the last year or so) I had hardly ever used fake tan of any sort, apart from maybe the gradual tan moisturisers, but it got to the point where I felt I did want a little more colour/warmth to my skin as I am very pale. I don’t (and wouldn’t want to even if I could) tan naturally. I burn, and then go back to my original pale state. Plus there are so many health issues that can arise from tanning in the sun…

Impress Press-on Manicure Review
I decided to do a review on something a little different today and do a post all about press-on/fake nails, by the brand imPRESS. I came across this brand as a colleague at work used them a lot and recommended them to me. I had never gotten around to trying any until I received a set in a Glossybox a month or so ago. The ones I received were the medium length press-on nails in the classic french manicure style, but on the white tips there is a little glitter which is really pretty. I was really excited when I received these as I had been wanting to try…

Redken Clear Moisture Shampoo Review
A couple of months ago I did a post on the Redken Smooth Lock shampoo which I adore. After going through two bottles of the Smooth Lock shampoo by Redken I decided to try a different shampoo in their range the next time I was needing one, and the one I decided to go for was the Clear Moisture shampoo. Packaging wise I prefer this shampoo as it’s a really lovely, fresh, clean blue colour (as opposed to the brown of the Smooth Lock), and the smell is different but just as lovely, but shampoo wise, I prefer the Smooth Lock for my hair. This shampoo is described as light…

Glossybox November 2013
I decided to mix things up a bit today and show what I received in this months Glossybox instead of Birchbox! There are good and bad points to each box, for example the Glossybox boxes and general packaging are so much prettier than Birchbox, and I do hold onto the Glossybox ones to reuse. Unfortunately though I feel you don’t always get as many high end samples in the Glossybox which was the whole reason for subscribing in the first place. 3 out of the 5 items here, full price, are less than £5. In saying that, I was fairly pleased with this months box and I have been enjoying…

Favourite Winter Nail Polish – TheWinterProject
A new series has started! It is called TheWinterProject, and from today, every Tuesday until Christmas there will be a post put up related to the theme. This week is the first week and it is all about my favourite winter nail polishes! I decided to do this a little differently, as I know a lot of people will be posting exact polishes and names, I decided to not give any names out of the ones I have chosen. (Although you can ask me if you really want the colour of a specific one.) The reason for this is that there are so many different brands of nail polish, and…
