June Favourites and Emptys!

I thought I'd do a little post of my favourite products for June to show you what I'm loving at the moment.

 JUNE LOVES!

Xen-Tan Mist Intense. I havent reviewed this yet but its a beautiful colour that loads of people have commented on since I've been using it.

Xen Tanned up!

Next on my favourites is the Fushi really good cellulite oil. I have been using this for just a short time but love the stuff and am really enjoying using it. It smells gorgeous and although it's too early to see if there is any difference in my wobbly bits it has been a pleasure to use. Review coming soon

Then the Caudalie tinted moisturiser has been a life saver this last month. It is a dark colour which takes my natural skin tone up a couple of shades and makes me look really healthy and perfect for this warmer weather when I've enjoyed not wearing foundation. Again full review coming soon.

Estee Lauder Idealist cooling eye illuminator This has got to be the best product I've tried in a long time. It's amazing on dark circles it looks invisible but makes a huge difference and reduces puffiness in seconds. Again full review coming soon. All i can say is FANTASTIC.

Macadamia Hair Oil This is a multi function product that makes my hair shine like nothing else. It leaves hair soft, shiny and smelling gorgeous.


So they are my 5 picks for June. Notice the lack of makeup on today's post. I just thought I'd give makeup a back seat today and next month i will concentrate on makeup favourites.

Then we have the few empties that i have. I really am trying to use things up but not having much luck lol.

Burt's Bees Citrus & Ginger Body Wash & Anti blemish Toner

The body wash is lovely and refreshing but and to be honest the whole family have enjoyed using it. I'm not sure if i would buy it again as its a bit pricey for a body wash but lovely if you fancy a little treat.

The toner on the other hand is amazing and i will definitely repurchase. Great for keeping spots at bay and leaves my skin feeling really fresh and clean.

Macadamia Shampoo & Moisturising rinse

I know these are mini sizes but i had to include them as they are gorgeous. They smell amazing and really leave my hair soft and shiny. Full review on these coming very soon too.


So as you can see lots and lots of reviews due very soon. Let me know if there is anything you cant wait to read about and i will do my best to get reviewing. If you have done a monthly favourites let me know i love these types of posts xx

I Keep all my daily products in this Mark Hill Bag that my friend brought me for xmas.

Spot the difference with Burts Bees?

Hello lovely ladies! It's Friday again yaay. I wanted to do a quick review for this new product that Ive found which is giving me amazing results. Spots be gone :)

Introducing Burt's Bees Anti Blemish Toner

This is the first Burt's Bees facial product that Ive tried out and I'm seriously wondering how Ive missed out on this skincare range.
Priced at £9.99 this toner is packed full of natural ingredients including Willow Bark Extract which works as a natural exfoliant to unplug follicles and pores. It also contains 1% salicylic acid which my skin seems to love.

I like to use my skincare products for a while before i review them to give them a chance to work, but i noticed a difference within the first  few days of using this. My spots that i had have gone and the blackheads etc look so much smaller.
I can see this becoming a fast favourite. I have less oil on my skin but it has not dried my skin in any way like some toners do.

If you suffer with outbreaks then i highly recommend you to try this product. I'm using it twice a day and am shocked at how fast it is improving my skin. My skin is looking better than it has in a long time.

Have you tried this or any of the other products in this range?

Puckering up with Burt !

Valentines day is the perfect day to pucker up and of course we all want super soft lips whatever time of the year.
Now I'm not the biggest lip balm fan in the world but since i have found Burt's Bees i am wearing it more and more often.

I was sent both the original Beeswax Balm & the Mango version. I love the texture of these, they are really moisturising but without feeling heavy or sticky and the mango smells really Delicious.

I have been using these every night and sometimes in the day underneath my lippy to help my lipstick glide on smoothly.
I've only been using these a few weeks and my lips feel a lot more hydrated and the tiny bits of flakiness have disappeared Yaaay.
For some reason i expected these to be a bit pricey so i was amazed to find out they are just £3.69.
What a bargain for kissable lips. Check out Burts Bees for the rest of the range too.

Anyway as it's valentines day and we are talking about kisses i thought I'd leave you with a couple of personal snaps. Happy Days xx

Time to play !

Today has been one of those days when i have had a bit of time on my hands to have a play with my make up. Here's what i came up with.
Pretty neutral with a dash of colour and of course some Big Lashes.

I've also been testing out some of my latest products.It's what lazy Saturdays were meant for.

 Liz Earle Botanical Essence

 How cute can a bottle get. Review coming soon.

 Oh and I've been watching the lovely Liz Earle on QVC. I met her last year at the opening of the Leeds flagship store last year and she was as lovely in person as she comes across on the TV.

 Burt's Bees Lip Balm as my lips have been feeling a bit dry lately and I'm enjoying testing these out. The mango one smells delicious.

Pai Camellia & Rose gentle hydrating cleanser. I've been using this for a while and seriously loving it. Review coming very soon.

Pai Avocado and jojoba organic moisturiser. Amazing product which i have been using in conjuction with the cleanser. Again review coming soon.

It's not often that i have time to just chill out and relax so its been fun. Tonight i will be relaxing watching Take me out or something cheesy and generally taking it easy. Not everyones idea of a great Saturday night but for me it's perfect. xx

Burt's the Bee's Knees for baby's

Hi there lovely ladies, Today's post is for all the mamma's out there or anybody else that wants to listen really ha.
A while ago i was sent some of the Baby Burt's Bees products to try out on my little one.
I have always used products for sensitive skin on my son but he has always suffered with dry patches and itchiness which i am always trying to concur with various, lotions and potions. I have heard good things about Burt's Bees so was looking forward to using them.

 I used all three products together and have to say that i fell in love with them. First up is the Baby Bee Bubble Bath. This smells absolutely Divine. The products are a little expensive but they feel so luxurious that they are worth every penny.
The tear free formula creates lots of bubbles and is SLS free. The ingredients are natural and full of good moisturising skin friendly ingredients which is perfect for sensitive skins.

Then the shampoo and body wash which again is full of natural ingredients like Aloe Vera and oat flour. This leaves my little Rocco smelling gorgeous and his hair is super shiny and easy to brush through even without conditioner. The tear free formula works well and the silky texture feels gorgeous.

 Last but not least is the Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil. This is a beautiful fragrant light oil that sinks into the skin really easily. I love using this on Rocco as it leaves him silky smooth and smelling delicious. You only need a small amount and it is non greasy. It seems to sooth him before bed and he loves trying to apply it himself.

Since using these 3 products on him there has been no dry patches or itchiness and his skin feels beautiful, just like a baby should do.
If you have a child with sensitive skin then this is definately worth trying. It has made the daily bedtime routine a bit more exciting as i look forward to using the products everynight. 10/10 Burts Bee's
If you would like to purchase any of these then take a look at the website here
Oooh and check out all the other gorgeous sounding goodies. I want to try the Buttermilk Bath Pint next. xx
