June Empties 2015

June Empties

It's that time for another empties post. Here are all the things that i have used up and i'll give you the low down on what i think about these products. 

Baremineral's Mineral Veil - 9g - £20.00 - I was shocked i even came to the end of this as this finishing powder never seems to end. However i do really love this and it pairs extremely well with the original foundation. My foundation stays on all day and looks flawless. Even though this is a mineral powder, it doesn't look cakey on the skin. I have already repurchased this.

Benefit - They're Real Mascara - £19.50 - I have really fallen out of love with this mascara and i really hope it takes a fall from grace this year as there are so many better mascara's out there. This mascara dries up so quickly, it clumps to hell and is just a horror to get off. 

REDKEN - Smooth Lock Shampoo - £13.80 - I adore this shampoo and i have repurchased this straight away. It makes my hair look and feel amazing. I also love the almond smell of it. I love anything that has heat protectant in it and this is a sure winner. 

Vichy Derco Shampoo for Sensitive Skin - £5.66 - For a good value shampoo, this is really excellent and a great balance for a high quality shampoo. This really cleans your hair and helps get rid of any dandruff that is in the hair. 

Sisley Black Rose Mask  - Sample Size - I can't deny, this mask was amazing, the sample size was such a teaser for the really expensive mask. I can't say it is worth the price but this little sample was a wonderful treat.

Rituals Fortune Scrub - £10.00 - I adore this scrub and finishing another of these was a pleasure. My back has never been cleaner. I already have a back up so and i'm already using it. The scene is so relaxing. 

Caudlie Beauty Elixir - £11.20 - I do love this as a little treat and another bottle has come to an end. I really love the smell and the way this feels on my skin. However i won't be buying a back up anytime soon. I am looking to try other sprays. 

Impulse tease - £1.99 - This is a easy peasy quick pick me up when you don't feel so fresh. Great to keep in your bag to get out when you most need it. I do like the scent but i think i will be moving back to perfumes to keep me smelling great as i don't feel this lasts very long. 

Sanex Pro Hydrate Shower Gel - £3.19 - Cheap, lasts a long time and is great on my dry skin, i really cannot fault this. I love a good shower cream as opposed to Gel and this one sits on top of my list. I cannot deal with all the fragrance'd shower gels so this one really keeps that at bay from irritation. 

Free Gift With Purchase - Feel Unique - Summer Gift Bag 2015

So my big feelunique order came in and with this it came with a fantastic gift with purchase, a summer bag with lots of freebies to try. I love freebies and feel unique are finally stepping up to the plate with this and in a very big way. I love when stores do this because not only does it encourage more sales initially but it allows people to try things that they possibly wouldn't have tried before. An excellent try before you buy, which for feel unique is excellent as all these items will be on their website. A few of these products are high end so these trial sizes are perfect.

The bag was sealed up and following products were in the bag.

Bourjois Easy nail Art kit - Sadly the only place i can find this kit is Sold out on the Selfridges website, so i assume this here shortly in more stores and on feel unique shortly. This is a fantastic brand new idea from Bourjois who seem to be dipping more and more into the nail cosmetic range. It is a nifty little nail kit in which you get various stencils and nail tape so you can create fancy nail art on top of your nail polishes.  I always find nail art so difficult and confusing to do and now i believe kits like this will make everything so much easier. 

REN Centifolia Make up Remover  - I have never tried anything from REN and i was happy to see that have brought out a separate make up remover stage to their range. I believe a lot of people do forget to second cleanse and hopefully this stage will help people to realise that taking make up of and cleansing your face should be two separate stages. This sample is quite a hefty one and very good for a free gift with purchase. I cannot wait to give this a whirl on my summer holiday travels this year. 

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Light Moisturiser - Sadly i am actually allergic to some ingredients in this so this will have to be something i give away. However the sample size of this pot is amazing. It is a 15ml jar and allows you to really get stuck into the moisturiser to see if you like it. If this wasn't this moisturiser i would have been extremely happy with this sample size.

ELEMIS Pro Collagen Ultra Rich Marine Cream - I believe this  range is one of ELEMIS's top sellers and i was thrilled to see this brand was in here. Sadly i have never tried anything from this brand so i am very excited the first thing i try is this. I have heard this moisturiser plumps the face and gives it a brighter healthier glow so i am looking forward to a few good nights with this doing wonders to my face.

Matias Response Corrective Hyaluronic Performance - I cannot say i have ever heard of this brand however anything with Hyaluronic acid it in is right up my street as it is one ingredient that my face loves. I am very excited to see the results from this to see if it does better than my hydraluron which is an all time cult classic for me. 

Laura Geller Spackle Treatment Primer - First of all Spackle? Apparently a hydration formula that now only primes but heals the face. An interesting concept that keeps appearing. I do love a good primer, a bit of shame the full price isn't as cheap as the benefit, however i am not afraid to give this a go, i will see if this has it's spackling powers shortly.

Benefit High Beam - I always see this when i go up to a benefit counter and the thought of using this has terrified me. I can't say i am impressed with products that start at a liquid that you have to work in the face, the fact daunts me a little. Maybe i will conquer this fear and give it a whirl.

John Freda Sea Salt Spray - Sadly another which i will have to give away i believe. I don't have long enough hair to really appreciate this and i do not have the ability to create long healthy waves. However i have tried a lot of john freda products and i believe this will be no exception.

Caudalie Divine Oil - Oh i love me some Caudalie and oil so this is a match made in heaven. I cannot wait to put this on my skin. The thing i love about Caudalie is the smells and the wonderful natural ingredience inside every bottle. I am excited for this one. I have heard a lot of good reviews on this so i believe i will love this product.

As well as the free lovely red bag which for me will be perfect this summer when i hit the beach.

And there you have it, such a great mixed bag of summer travel sizes for you to try.

Check it out on feel unique where this bag is free with £80 spend.

Benefit They're Real VS Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara - Review.

So i recently finished my Benefit They're Real Mascara and i have to say i did love it at first, but the more i used it, the more i feel out of love with it. So I was on the hunt for something else and i believe this is it.

The benefit mascara is a staple but since it came out, i feel mascara's have gotten so much better. The benefit one is really thick, i think the idea of this was the make lashes look fuller. It's really black and really packs on a punch to make your mascara look more real.

The problem with this revolution to me is that generally mascara dries up, and with the formula being thicker, I feel it dries up so quickly and for the price of this mascara i really think that it should last longer.

I used it for three months and in the third month I hated every second of it, it was far more clumpy, the wand had built up and it was so hard to do bottom lashes.

As it dried up, as the days went on, the fall out from this mascara made this mascara unreal. It was like my eye lashes were falling out all over.

So i decided to go back to drugstore, I have used the rocket from Maybelline, which kind of did the same thing, but was a lot more affordable than the benefit mascara so i wasn't bothered, so i turned to something different.

I turned to volume.

I have been using this Bourjois mascara now for close enough to three months now and so far it is going extremely strong. I have had no clumps, no fall out, the mascara lasts longer, my lashes actually look more real because they are longer and more defined. My lashes don't stick together, it comes off way easier and i really love how it applies.

The mascara is a little thinner, which i believe makes all the difference, it doesn't dry up so quick because the formula is a lot more water based, this makes it glide on better and give an overall better finish. The eye lashes look longer and really open up your eyes.

I love the wand, it's so effortless, you barely have to spend ages getting the right look, for me it takes two sweeps and my mascara is on perfectly.

A lot of you have been looking for alternatives and this is mine.

So what Mascara have you been loving? Leave a comment below letting me know.

Beauty / Skincare Wishlist - April 2015

Another month passes, another wishlist is upon us. I completely missed last month, as I did take a little shopping haul which cleared a few things i really did want in March. I wasn't too successful in buying much from my last two wish lists from January and February, however i have crossed two items off the list.

Off my Wishlist

Clinique Moisture Surge 50ml - £34.00 - In February i decided i really wanted this moisturiser and after my Dr Organic moisturiser is on it's last few scoops i felt i could finally justify buying the full size of this. I feel in love after using my travel size sample up and i wanted to use this more as my main moisturiser as it seems a lot better than my previous. I really love how this feels on my skin and it really keeps it from being dry. 

La Roche Posay Serozinc- £8.50 - As i am sure you have seen, i did knock this off my January list a while ago now and i am loving it. Whenever i get a break out i spray this and it helps with the aid of getting rid of them. I am thrilled we can get this product here now. It's brilliant.

New Additions to my Wishlist

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - £19.50 - I have heard and seen the hype, but because i've been so busy with work, i completely forgot to pick up the magazine with the sample of this mascara! ARGH! So it looks like i shall have to get my hands on the full size. I have heard this is brilliant at giving full last curls which is something i would love to add to my mascara mix. I have recently been trying the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara and noticed that it seems i am getting way less fall out than the Benefit They're Real Mascara so i am keen to try this and see if it is better than it's top selling rival. 

First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads - £22.00 - Everyone keeps mentioning these and i keep meaning to try these. I think these would make cleaning your face so much easier and i do love first aid beauty because it's great for sensitive skin. 

OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil to go - £10.50 - With winter on it's way out, i really need to fix my nails and this has come highly recommended so i really need to get hold of this to help sort them out so i can enjoy putting on nail polish more often on my nails. 

Redken Hair Cleansing Cream 300ml - £11.25 - I do notice with having shorter hair that product does tend to build a little in my hair at some point during the week and i do find it hard to get rid of it. I've heard of clarifying shampoo's but there isn't a huge range yet on the market, i am assuming they are a new thing? I have used Redken products before and really liked them so i think this one will be the next on my list to use once a week in between my normal washes. 

All-in-one Body Shop BB Cream - £12.00 - After a failed attempt at finding a good BB which fitted my skin tone, I am still keen to find one. I have heard this body shop is great, and not just that, the shades are really bendable and don't look too dark. I think i will pick these up before i go on holiday this summer. 

Avene Cicalfate Repair Cream 40ml - £7.50 - As you may well know i suffer from Eczema, and the repair stage is one of the hardest, especially the eczema on my hands, which has been the worst i have ever had it. I am trying to use non-steroid methods and this looks like it may help with the repair of my skin. 

And there you have it, my wish list items for this month. What items are you wishing for?

THE BRITISH BEAUTY BLOGGER - DREAM BOX III - Review

It was last November when the last Dream Box dropped and it was amazing (See my review here), so the day the 3rd box from the duo that is Latest in Beauty and The British Beauty Blogger i could not pass up on this. For £21.95  you get a mix of full size and sample sized brands all in this amazing box.

So let's get into the products:

Essence Nail Polish - I love Trends-  Pastel range in the shade Sweet at First Sight - Full size - £1.80 at Wilkinsons but this shade is N/A - This a lovely pinky / rose gold shimmery shade and for £1.80 the formula of this nail Polish is really lovely. I can't say how long it will wear but i have had it on for three days now and it has not chipped.  A great everyday / Night out colour. I think this brand will slowly rise in the affordable nail polish brand.

Essence Nail Polish I love Trends - Nudes Range in the shade I'm Lost in You.  - Full Size - £1.80 at Wilkinsons but this shade is N/A. - This is the perfect brown colour, not really a colour i usually go for in nail polish as it doesn't suit me. See above for more thoughts.

Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Self Tan Lotion - Medium 150ml - Sample Size 20ml with Mitt - Full Size £25.00. This is my second sample of this tanning lotion, the first which came with the You Beauty Christmas Calendar. I really liked the formula, i would say it lasts more to the 2 week mark and it begins to fade. However with this being the Medium shade, it was too dark for my skin. So I will be gifting this sample. However, because of the formula and how easily this blends into the skin, I will most likely give the lighter version of this a go.

Eye of Horus Pencil Eyeliner - Charcoal Obsidian (Various shades) - Full Size -  £17.00 - I can say I have never heard of this Lux brand. This has got to be one of the softest and most creamiest eyeliner, and is very easy to apply. I believe I will be able to smoke this out, especially on my lower lid line. Looking forward to learn more about this brand.

Roger and Gallet Fleur di Figuer Parfum - Vital size - COMING SOON (Water Spray £31.00) I believe this is a coming perfume, so i have added the water spray fragrance to the link. This scent is right up my street for spring and summer and i cannot wait till this drops, the fruit and floral notes really give a spring to your scent and make you smell wonderful. I have had a few compliments when i have worn this and now I only wish there were more in this vial.

Dr Organic Ice Mint Lip Balm (Flavours vary) - Full Size- £3.45 - I was extremely glad the mint one of these were in my box because my love for Mint lip balm is unreal. The mint smell and taste is really pleasant and as someone who has used Dr Organic products I was very happy with this one. I have only been using this a few days but i can tell my lips are starting to feel more nourished.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade Nude-ist! - Full Size - £8.99 - I have been meaning to try these lip stains for ages and thank you to the BBB for putting this in the box. The shade is utterly perfect for me with my pink lips. It hasn't shown up any cracks when my lips have looked dried and has stayed on my lips pretty much all day. I can see what the hype has been about.

Benefit They're Real!  Remover - Sample Size - £14.50 - I have stayed away from this product from this price and i am glad that i have. I can't say i noticed too much difference to remove my eye make up from an oil make up remover or even a balm and to be honest i feel this product made my under eye area feel a bit sensitive and dry. This product does remove eye make up, but it doesn't add anything  that balm's and oil cleanser's don't already use. A bit of a branding gimmick product for me.  I don't think I will purchase a full size.

The Scottish Fine Soaps Company in Sea Kelp - Full Size - £4.95 - Soap with Kelp in it? Yes please. I love these kind of soaps. This soap really lathers and smells so fresh. My skin felt so nourished and soft and after applying body lotion i noticed the next day my skin felt softer, more than the lush sea vegetable soap. Definitely a winner. Will have to treat myself to one of these once it runs out.

Make up Revolution One Fluid Blusher in Pink Dew - Full Size - £3.00 - I have heard about this brand all over the web and was excited to see that one of their products were featured. I have also heard about the fluid blusher craze and was a little scared this would be so runny. The formula is great and you can easily get the right amount to apply to your face. Very bendable and gives me a lovely flushed finish. Very impressed and need to try more from this brand.

NUXE Creme Fraiche 24hr moisturising mask 100ml - Full size - £18.50 - I love a bit of NUXE and this mask is no exception. My skin is very dry at the moment and this mask made my skin feel so soft and well nourished. The texture is lovely and very easy to take off once the ten minutes is up.  The redness on my cheeks had gone the next morning and worked well with a mask.


Orelia Gold Tattoo's - £8.00 - Full packet - This is not something i would purchase and most likely something i will not wear, however for festivals and such, i think these are a fun idea. The pattern's are really cool and they come in a mix of designs.

Ole Henriksen Pure Trush Melting Cleanser 100ml -15ml Sample Size - £24.99 - This brand has really been shouted about so i was thrilled to see this was in this box. I love a good melting cleanser and this was no exception. The amount of good products in this such as many vitamins and oil's this cleanser does not just feel great and smells great. My skin feels so amazing after this.

Hand Chemistry Intense Youth Complex 30ml - £7.99 - This hand cream is lovely and i am one of those people that needs more hand cream than ever as my hands are so dry. My skin feels so soft after using this product. I can't say much for the 10 days of yet, but i will be sure to let you know if this helps. The cream is really creamy and makes my hands feel soft. It doesn't peel of the skin like a lot of hand creams i have used do.

Crabtree and Evelyn Pear and Pink Magnolia Body Lotion 250ml - Sample Size - £16.00 - I haven't used this body lotion myself as my skin isn't great with fragrance, however my mum has found this really lovely. The product smells great and her skin looks so lovely. It is great for people with good skin to be able to put on a lotion and still smell good for a good few hours, i could still smell this scent on her a few hours later. Might be a little christmas treat for my mum this year for sure.

Salon Science Regloss Smoothing Serum GSP-T Swiss Grape 50ml - Full Size - £18.00 - Never before have i used a hair serum but this has already given me high expectations. My hair is a little dry and due for a cut tomorrow and i think this serum has tied me over the weekend. My hair feels full of body and very soft. I think once my hair is cut i will be using this a lot more to keep it feeling and looking great.

WOWEEE this box is packing the punches and still my all time favourite and this is no exeception, if you are new to skincare and beauty these box's are really a great place to start. Have any of you bought this box, what do you think? What product are you looking to purchase from this box? Or are there any items you already own and love from here?

Let me know in the comments.

Recreate the look. Concert.

AHHHHHHH It's me...

I don't always like to post pictures of myself but i am trying to be more confident at it. So i thought i would do a post on the items i used to create this look. I was going out for a concert when i wore this look.

Top - Primark - No Longer Avaliable

Necklace - Forever21 - No Longer Avaliable

Foundation - Rimmel Match Perfection in True Ivory - Best match foundation, love it, quick and easy to apply and is extremely affordable. Needed touch up of powder but was fine.

Blush - Sleek Blush in Coral - My favourite blush, the colour pay off as you can see is utterly amazing. Was still popping at the end of the night.

Under Eye Concealer - Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch - Makes my under eyes pop and is a beautiful concealer. Lasted all evening

Power - Body Shop All in One Face Base in 93704 - Kept my foundation topped up through the night. 

Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Great for hiding spots and red blotches.  Began to fade after dancing but expected.

Lips - Rimmel Apocalips in Nova - Best bargin lip laquer and the colours really pop, brilliant. Stayed on all night.

Eyebrows - Soap and Glory archery Tint and Pencil - Really easy product to shape and tint, best product for my brows. Never budged

Mascara - Benefit They're Real Mascara - Hard to see with my glasses but honestly, lengthens and did not run during the show. 

Hope you liked the look and hope you can recreate it. 

My 2014 Beauty and Skincare Favourites

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!

I hope you are having a good one or have had a fantastic new years eve. To end the year I thought it was time to talk about my 2014 favourites. I apologies for this picture, for some reason, adding lighting makes your bedding look really strange when taking pictures. However let us press on to the favourites.

BEAUTY

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush  - This brush is not the easiest to clean, however for the price it is an excellent Brush for liquid foundation. It blends the foundation perfectly in the skin and doesn't leave streaky marks like some cheaper brushes do. I have tried a number of brushes for foundation and this seems to be the best one out their, the foundation brush in this range should be scrapped over this one as it does nothing for blend ability.

Sleek Make Up Blush in the Shade Coral - I am sorry for how grubby the outer packaging looks on my picture but it is my most loved blush and my favourite of 2014. I feel this blush is a good all rounder for the year and very good value for money. Not just that the sleek blush line is amazing and expansive, If this colour isn't for you, you will find one in their range that hits the mark for you. To me this is a dark Coral tone which gives you enough pigmentation to work with. It easily allows you  brush it on very lightly to give a natural looking flush look in the summer and in the winter you can make it a little darker for that cold winter flush. I have been using this blush all year round and I have loved it. It's really been the perfect shade for me this year.

Benefit Gimmie Brow in Light / Medium - Oh wow, this is one amazing brow product. I was a bit late to this game and after rave reviews I caved and purchased it and by gosh do i not regret it. Whenever my brows are looking really worst for wear, this baby comes out leaps and bounds to sort them out. The little brush allows you to get in between those fine hairs and makes your brows look so natural, filling in those really hard to get to gaps. I use this mostly after my eyebrows have just been done to maintain the shape.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Medium -  I won't go on too much because ever blogger in the world has commented how good this is, i will say though i have tried a lot of concealers this year from Rimmel, Boujois, Maybelline and Revlon and not one of these has matched up to it. I may have to dip into the make up savings account for the NARS Radiant Creamy concealer at some point to see what the hype is about as that is one that gets raved about more than this one. However this is a cracking buy for concealer.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Champagne Toast - These lip glosses are so far one of the best products from any youtuber this year. This one smells and looks fantastic on the lips, it is a nude shade with sparkle and looks fantastic for any event. The gloss glides on perfectly and is not really sticky like some lip glosses i have had in the past and i rarely get my hair stuck on it. I do love this shade a lot as well as Aurora from this range. I have yet to try any of the new shades but i am sure to get my mit's on some of those.

Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil in Brownie Points - For a cheaper alternative to the Gimmie Brow, this one really saves the day. I love this because it tints the eyebrow with the pen side and with the waxy side, you can easily shape the brow and fill in any gaps the pen misses. I tend to use this when my eyebrows just need a little touch up.

Benefit They're Real Mascara  - I do love this Mascara as much as last year and i have only found the models co mascara that at all. This mascara makes your lashes look curly and volumised. The mascara is very easy to apply, it does however take a little bit of getting off, however for the curl and volume is gives, totally work that extra work to get it off.

Soap and Glory The Lid Stuff Eyeshadow - I've honestly reached for this little palette more than i have my naked palette this year, which will come as a shock. this little palette is perfect for a quick on the go look. I mainly use this for when i go to work because of how basic it is, i can happily wear this and still feel great with my look because it contains all you need for a professional eyeshadow look. The palette has excellent pigmentation and has a white shade for the base, brow and inner conners, a light peach tone for the lid and two brown shades which you can blend together, one has more of a glitter effect for over the top of the solid brown shade. All you need in four shades.

Bare Minerals Original SPF 15 Foundation - I have become a recent fan of bare minerals and honestly it's become the only thing i like using. The coverage is flawless, the finish is perfect and it looks like you aren't wearing any foundation. I did think a powder foundation would be difficult to apply but i do find it easier to apply than a lot of liquid foundations. I would recommend everyone who is a sceptic to try this and you would be surprised.

SKINCARE 

Botanics Shine Away Clay Mask -  A great affordable mask that i have been loving this year. This mask has really kicked my spots and blemishes to the curb whenever my face starts to break out. The mask is easy to apply and easy to wash off the face. This is a top mask and really good value for money. This one has really been a great staple to my summer mask routine.

Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed Self Heating Deep Poor Detox Mask - I love this mask more for the winter months as it really does warm up your face and really keeps deep into the pours and claws the dirt out. I love the self heating beads the most and when you have had a rough day and all you want to do is feel cosy and warm and need to clean your face, this product is perfect.

Dr Organic Rose Otto Night Cream - I love this natural moisturiser and I haven't found anything else that I like, like it. This makes my skin feel positively flourished after use and it helps keep my blemishes at bay as I sleep. The smell of this does smell a little old fashioned, a bit like pot popery.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Jelly - Oh this is marvellous, i alternate this with my moisturiser and my skin feels so hydrated. I suffer from dry skin from time to time and this is the only thing that rectify's it.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisturising Facial Serum  -  It was my favourite last year and has been my favourite this year. In pair with the moisture jelly, this makes my skin so hydrated and soft and gives it new life. I have noticed when i don't use a serum my face does break out for a little while so i will keep using this as well as another serum to alternate out. This is one amazing product, believe the hype.

Balance Me Radiance Face Oil - This is one of the best facial oils around and the handy roller ball which you can buy from the balance me site, makes it easier to apply on the face. I really don't like putting the oil on your hands and the hands getting all sticky and more on your hands than the face. This oil helps to repair my skin and also makes my face glow. Oil's are not to be missed out these are amazing products.

 Caudalie Beauty Elixir - Beauty Elixir is a hyped product and deserves it, this water spray is fantastic at giving your face radiance and life when it is looking a little dried out. This is fantastic over and under make up and will wake your face right up.

Le Roche Posay Effaclar Duo + - Spots be gone! This stuff is the stuff of the gods. Paired with a mask and a moisturiser you will have no problem at all with spots as effaclar targets and kills those red evil pimples. This is something you should always have in your collection.

 Super Facialist Vitamin C + Skins Brighter Cleansing Oil.  - If you want make up of your face and you don't want to pay for bioderma, this stuff is the business and in my opinion a heck of a lot better than these Micelular waters which really are full of so many nasty toxins. This is all natural and the oils blend together with your make up to get it off your face. It doesn't smell too bad either.

HYGEINE / OTHER - 

Japanese Cherry Blossom Eau De Toilette - Not a lot of people talk about body shop for their fragrances but i think they are wrong to think that way. The scents are just at good as anything from any other popular perfume range and better than anything from avon. This scent is such a fresh grown up scent and very floral. I really love wearing this scent and get a lot of compliments.

Sanex Sensitive Roll on Deodorant - I used to be a sure spray girl up until a few years ago, but after noticing this really wasn't doing me any favours, i tried a good few rolls on and this one is honestly the best i have ever tried. I am shocked how an earth such a cheap roll on keeps me fresh all day and beyond but it honestly is the best i have tried yet. I highly recommend this one.

Oral B 3D White Brillance - This is my favourite toothpaste of the moment, it really keeps my teeth pearly and white and protects my teeth. I used to use sensodyne but i was noticing that it was actually making my teeth and gums more sensitive, esentially defeating it's purpose so i decided to change to this one. I have no regrets.

And that is my 2014 favourites...FEW. A lot of products there that have rocked my world. I really hope that you have a great new year and maybe have found some new products to try out.

Stuck for idea's to get the women in your life this christmas? Well look no further, this is my beauty and skincare gift guide for the ladies of tomorrow.
