Yankee candle's



Honestly what girl does not love a divine scent? well I definitely do, and that's why I just couldn't resist picking up these beauts in a local candle store when walking by! 
As you may of noticed they're smaller than the typical Yankee candle,well that's because these are the sample sizes. The main intention is that you give them a little try before you buy and it has worked for me for sure. 
Now I could sit here all day long trying to explain to you what they smell like but I honestly feel that the names of each candle is self explanatory!

Nyx soft matte lip cream dupe - Collection Cream puff

Now i'm sure we've all heard of the Nyx soft matte lip creams, and I'm almost definite that we all would of had one if it wasn't for the all the hassle!
Nyx is a US based company, so you can only purchase items online (meaning postage and packaging prices are involved).. But wait, what if I told you that you could pick up a very simular item from your local drugstore and for a fraction of the price!
Collection's cream puffs are a great dupe for Nyx soft matte lip cream and are less hassel. the only down side is that because of the high demand they're usually sold out or in low stock so be sure to grab one if you see one!

Small Avon haul







Hey guys! Yes, I know I need to start blogging more frequently! Recently I've been quite busy and haven't been able to balance blogging with school, but guess what IT'S SUMMER NOW, so I'm sure all will be good from now on.
 Here's just a quick post about one of my recent hauls. I may be reveiwing these later on in the holiday but for now if you want any reviewed sooner leave a comment below and i'll do so!
I honestly hardly ever get my hands on any Avon products, but if my mum is ordering something I might as well try out a couple things right? And I must say I'm pleasently surprised with the price and quality of most of them (especially the highly pigmented lip glosses). Also I totally LOVE the idea of their mini lipstick samples!

Birch Box - June


Birch Box £10 + £2.95 p&p
Yes I know this is lasts months glossy box and I sincerely apologist for the lateness and promise this is the last time!

Birch Box - June
Ohh la la, just a little peak of what's inside.

Model co eye pencil
I truely do love the handy addition on this product, I mean who doesn't lose their sharpeners here and there! This liner is actually very pigmented and easy to apply. My only prob is the short stay power!

Coola classic sunscreen
I honestly don't have much to say about this product. Yes, it is a great non-heavy feel sunscreen (suitable for oily skin) and I love how it leaves no white-residue but other than that I just see it as a regular sunscreen.

Beauty Protector protect and detangle leave in

Unfortunately I've been unable to try this product as I am currently in the process of a month long trial and review of another hair product.


Colour Club professional nail lacquer

Whilst these colours are defo bright and bold ,I do feel that the colours slightly dull your skin tone.Also, in comparison to my nails inc varnishes I do believe the this requires many coats in order to not be streaky!

Glossy Box - June 2013


Glossy Box £10 + £2.95 p&p
Before I continue with this blog post I'd just like to apologize for how late I've posted this (and also the following blog post) .. I promise I'll never do it again!


As you can see this month's Glossy Box edition has been quite neutral, with three sample sized products and three full sized products, you can't really complain. Now as for their choice of products I'm not completely overwhelmed but still fairly pleased.

Nail inc: Portobello
This nail inc varnish is so far probably the most frequently used product of this box. Although this sample is only 4ml I still LOVE it! the coral pink compliments all tanned or medium/dark skin complexions and is totally a must have for the summer!

Organic Surge moisturiser

Organic surge is defo a new discovery for me. This cream claims to nourish, condition and hydrate your skin and it does just that! This intoxicating gingery/lemon grass scented moisturiser automatically hydrates and replenishes skin once in contact! despite it being quite pricey I am quite certain that this will be re-purchased (It's just too amazing!)

Figs & Rouges Lip Balm
Before I say anything I'd just like to give credit to Figs & Rouges for their extravagant packaging and definite ability to outshine others! This lip balm is defo different to the others as it looks and just like a lip gloss but then works to moisturise your lips. the balm also has a tinted soft pink finish that settles with a lovely shimmer.

Helen L Waterproof Lip Liner
Now this product is yet another recent discovery. The lip liner gives subtle matte finish as well as being incredibly kind and soft to the lips. I also love the colour as it's a gentle beige with pink undertones.
Paul Mitchell Cream Gel & Leave-In
Unfortunately I've been unable to try this product as I am currently in the process of a month long trial and review of another hair product.
