October favourites.


 So I'm finally getting round to updating my blog again!And I know that October hasn't properly finished yet however I just wanted to get back into the blogging attitude! I have been loving ever single one of these products and will happily repurchase them when they run out!   

             
           
  So firstly is this amazing facial scrub by the brand St.Ives, and it is the fresh skin apricot scrub for all skin types. I actually received this as a sample along with a £1 off coupon, and as a result I absolutely love this scrub! I have noticed a big difference to my face ever since I started using it. The smell of the product is gorgeous, its smells exactly like mango's and apricots.I found that the facial scrub left my face feeling refreshed and hydrated and a little goes along way with this scrub. 


Next is this bronzing face powder by the brand NYC, and I'm not a huge fan of their products but i really love this. I brought this bronzing powder ever since i seen a youtuber talk about it. The actual product is just the right shade, it's not to orange and not to brown. It's just the right balance of colour which gives your checks a flawless finish. I actually use this product for contour, and it's really cheap I think it retails under £5 which is amazing for 9.4g! The bronzer apply's so smoothly, to apply it I use my Eco Tools blusher brush. I would really recommend either testing this at your local drug store or actually purchasing the product!



Before i started using this product I would hardly ever wear eye shadow, but this No7 eye shadow is now my absolute fav! This eye shadow actually reminds me of The Naked palette "Half Baked" however this eye shadow is a fraction of the price. The name of the eye shadow is "Wheatsheaf" and retails for £7, but every so often boots do a £5 off make up voucher. Overall I ended up buying the eye shadow for £2! I would still pay the full price for this eye shadow because i think the quality of it is amazing. Also the product is very pigmented and is so easy to apply.  


Next is this lipstick by Rimmel London and this is in the 08, normally I wouldn't go for a colour like this on but it actually suit me! The thing i love most about this lipstick is the smell, personally I think it smells like cupcakes from the very sweet smell. I think the finish of this lipstick looks absolutely amazing on any skin tone, the overall finish is sort of matt with a little bit of a glossy finish. This lipstick is amazing for the money and I have brought more lipsticks since buying this from the Kate Moss collection!


My final favourite is this gorgeous nail polish by avon, i wouldn't normally buy products from avon because of the fact you cant test them. However i took a risk with this nail polish and I love it so much. I can't remember how much it was exactly but it was under £5 and the bottle is really big ( 12ml). The actual colour reminds me of the galaxy sky, from the different colours of glitter. The nail polish is really opaque! and apply's really easy.

So thats all of my October favourites.
What was your favourites this month?

Lush Space Girl Bath Bomb Review

Hello beauties! So today my reviews on a lush product, and not until recently I had never discovered what lush was. From lots of YouTube videos about there products I decided that i would test there product out. One of the purchases i got was a bath bomb called 'space girl' which retails at £2.10 now, I have only just noticed they have put there prices up! The price hasn't increased by much only 15p and I would defiantly pay £2.10 for this amazing bath bomb!

When i first got the bath bomb out the paper packaging the first thing i noticed was the smell, this bath bomb smell so nice! In my opinion it smelt like Parma Violet and a mixture of Berry's. I really liked the shape of the bath bomb it looks just like a UFO!

No7 Wild Volume lipstick review.

This lipstick buy the No7 range is my new favourite for summer! I absolutely love everything about it. The pricing my be expensive to some people, but when you compare it to similar high end brands its actually quite cheap. The high end lipstick i would compare this with is the 'Mac pro longwear lipcream' in the shade 'Till Tomorrow' which retails at £16.50 . The 'No7 wild volume lipstick' in the colour 'Caramel Kiss' looks exactly the same shade and retails for £10.




The lipstick has a really creamy formula that fills in lines and creases, giving the appearance of a full and luscious pout! The lipsticks really easy to work with, it blends perfectly and is long lasting through out the day. The outer packaging of the lipstick is really nice and simple. You can purchase the lipstick at any boots stores, and the lipstick brand 'Wild Volume' has a lot of shades to choice from. The shade 'Caramel Kiss' is a really nice mauvy brown with a pink tint, this lipstick is a mate lipstick. However the lipstick isn't drying at all. I would definitively recommend this lipstick to anyone that is look for a cheaper version of a more high end brand.
