Summer holiday catch up post



Todays blog post is a little different to my other posts I have been recently posting about, it usually consists of make-up and such things. This post however isn't going to be about make-up and will be about what I've been doing in my first few weeks of my summer holidays!

First of all I have been taking great advantage of the sunny, hot weather! Now, as you might know if you live in England, the sun doesn't come out very often and when it does it doesn't stay for very long,but, so far the sun has come out every single day for the last two weeks! which i'm amazed at really...

On the first day of the holidays I didn't waste anytime and got tanning straight away. I went over to the park and sat in the sun for hours and hours. 


As you can see from the picture above, I kind of got a little burnt! :') 


Then I went to boots to buy the "Babtiste Dry shampoo XXL volume" and "dark&Deep Brown". I've seen and heard good reviews about these dry shampoos and thought I'd test them out myself between hair washes.




Also, on the same day I went to buy another one of the body shops "Pomegrannate Lip Balm" because, I love this lippy and my old one ran out. I think that this is one of the best lippys I've used, because, it really moisturises your lips whilst giving a slight red tint to your lip colour.




Later that day, when I got home, I found on my desk a coke with my name painted on it with red nail polish by my mum! I thought that this was really sweet of her! since she did name me after a unique name. If you're one of those people that can never see there names on key rings ,or, the name labels on cokes then, hello! you're not alone!


Ive been recently trying to eat much more healthier, replacing the naughty little unhealthy snacks in-between meals and replacing it with yogurt and fruit and such things like that.

Body Butter/ Hand Creams


This blog post is going to be about body butters and hand creams as you might of guessed from the title.

This body butter is from the body shop and is called the "Atlas Mountain Rose Body Butter" I like this body butter ,because, its got a slight scent of rose to it,which, is soothing to put onto your skin after you've had a bath/shower or just want to moisturise your skin. The rose scent lasts quite a long time on your skin which is a positive thing (If you like the smell of rose), however, a down side to this body butter is that its got quite a greasy feeling to it when applying it to your skin. I looked on the body shop website and it stated that the body butter does all the things that are listed below.  So, i put these statements to the test.
This body butter costs around £13.00 from the body shop(UK Pounds)  To See The "Atlas Mountain Rose Body-butter" Please Click On Here 


The next to body butters I will be writing about is, again, from the body shop.

The body butter to the left hand side of the picture is lightly coconut scented. In additional information this body butter it contains community Fair Trade virgin organic coconut oil and also, this product is against animal testing. The coconut body butter costs £13 for a 200ml tub it also comes in a smaller tub of 50ml which costs only £5

The other body butter to the right hand side of the picture is "Shea body butter" I wasn't quite sure how to explain the smell of this body butter, so, I looked up on the body shop website. The smell the body shop was trying to imply was a 'nutty smell'. Which i don't entirely agree on, but, then again, I can under stand how some one could interoperate it as a 'nutty smell', to me it smells like wood... but, a nice smelling wood. Maybe, my concept to how woods meant to smell like is different to yours, which it probably true... but, I guess it could smell like a woody smell/chestnut smell. 
The price of the Shea body butter is £13 for a 200ml tub,unfortunately, there isn't a smaller tub that consists of 50ml for the shea body butter...well, I can't find it on the body shop website,but,  if you manage to find the 50ml tub, please comment the link below on this blog. 


This body butter in the right picture (bottom) is called "Sanctuary". Sanctuary is a brand name that does many different bath/shower products including the hand cream you see in the left picture (top). Sanctuary has only one smell associated with there products ,because, nearly all products from sanctuary have the same smell,which, is described on the sanctuary website as, coco and shea, oil from macademia nuts and sweet almonds. Also, the body butter has the vitamin E in it.

The Sanctuary body butter's price is £10 (Uk Pounds)
The Sanctuary hand cream's price is £5.10


The Hand cream in the left (Top) side picture is called "Rose Sauvage" and yet again, from the body shop! This hand cream is a perfect size just to slip into your bag! On the body shop website it says  that this hand cream has "rosehip oil and provides much needed moisture to mature skin while helping to reduce the appearance of brown spots and it has SPF 15" 
In my experience the "Rose Sauvage" hand cream does provide enough moisture to your skin and leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft. The "Rose Sauvage" 30ml hand cream costs £5 and the 100ml costs £11,

The Hand cream in the Right (Bottom) side picture is "Mandarin Tea" and again, its a perfect size to just slip into your bag! I got given this as a birthday present and only recently started using it, I find the smell increasingly pleasant the more I use it. This hand cream spreads easily and absorbs quickly if rubbed in properly and the scent defiantly smells of mandarins. The "Mandarin Tea hand cream" costs $9 (dollars American)  


The last hand cream i will be writing about in this blog post is the Soap&Glory 
"Hand Food".  I've always loved Soap&Glory products since day one... when i started buying them. Theres just something that makes me love Soap&Glory,maybe its the smell,or, just the way the packaging is simple and clear to read. The smell... I can't even comprehend what the smell is, so, I looked on the Soap&Glory website and its suppose to smell of "Scented with Original Pink fragrance". Which maybe, it does smell of 'scented original pink fragrance' I'm not too sure... I'll leave that for you to decide on.

The Soap&Glory "hand Food" costs £5

July Favourites

July favourites

First of all i would like to introduce some body spray's, yes, we all use it well, hopfuly!... 
Most of the body sprays i use are from "hollister", as you can see, I'm slightly obsessed with hollister, but, theres one 
that isn't from "hollister" and its from the brand "Soap&Glory". The body spray i like the most is probably the second in from the left hand side.
Which is this one
I think this a great refreshing smell especially for the upcoming summer! Also, its not so over powering that you're chocking to death whilst spraying it over your body/clothes, but, on the other hand strong enough to be smelt when close enough.   
The "Soap&Glory" scent (first bottle on the right hand side of the picture) is quite similar to the hollister special addition scent (pink hollister bottle third in from the left) Its got a slight fruity smell to it! which is nice, however, can get a little sickening personally if worn too frequently.
The "Socal" hollister body spray (first on the left) Is the original smell of hollister! it smells exactly like the shop! (and if you haven't been in hollister before you should! it smells amazing, but, be aware, it is pretty dark in there!) Finally, the last of the body sprays for this julys blog is... Hollister once again... "Beacon's Beach" spray. Now, this is a hard smell to define and put into words, I guess, it kind of smells like lynx with a twist to it!

Secondly, i would like to introduce you to my favourite facial make-up products.

All these products I use on an every day bases and these products are great for sensitive skin! Because, i have sensitive skin, at first i was worried that i might be allergic to these products, but, luckily i wasn't! (but, please, if you do have sensitive skin ,or, are allergic to any make-up products, do a test patch of each product before using them on your face! now, i wouldn't want you looking like a puffy puffer fish!
I first of all use "rimmel's BB cream" which is a great first base for evening out your skin. Its a sort of cream, but, with a hint of colour to it! Its not too drastic like foundation can be. I would recommend this product to anyone who's new to make-up because, its light and doesn't show up too strong, also, it lasts quite along time, you only really need to use a pea size dot for each section of your face you're applying it to. This product costs around £6.99 (in the UK) To see Rimmels BB cream click here

Secondly, i apply "maybelline dream matte mousse" Which is a perfect top cover over the "Rimme's BB cream" I Believe it just gives a smooth finish look to your face. As you can tell, "maybelline dream matte mousse" is a mousse which at first, i was un sure about, however, now, I've grown to like it! I've only recently brought this product and I love it already! This product is a little more on the expensive side its price is £7.65 To see Maybellines dream matte mousse click here
This concealer I absolutely love. Another great product from "Rimmel" I would describe this product like a concealer ,but, shaped as a lip stick, its easy just to pop into your bag when going out. If you've had a bad night sleep ,or, just got black circles under your eyes just dab a little bit of this concealer under your eyes and rub in and those circles that were under your eyes are gone! This concealers price is £4.49 Click here to find the Rimmels concealer
To finish off your look just use some of "Rimmel's stay matte" powder where you feel the need to, you don't need to use the powder ,but, i prefer too, I use the "body shop" brush to apply the powder. You can buy the powder from this link: Click here to see the Rimmel stay matte powder I believe the price is around about £3.99
I brought a little set of brushes from the body shop it was about £13.50 you can find them at this link: To find body shop mini brushes please click on here
