What I have been loving this March!❤
Hello Ladies! So today's post is what I have been loving this march. So anything I have been loving this month I am going to share.
1. Maybelline colour sensational lipstick in Cherry Candy.
First this packaging is really nice, the red packaging is gorgeous! Then the colour of this lipstick is beautiful a bright fuchsia. It lasts a long time without re applying and does not bleed or become flaky. The pigmentation is excellent you get a lot of colour and it feels very soft on the lips almost moisturizing. Love wearing this!
2. Maybelline baby lips in pink punch, cherry me, hydrate and mint fresh.
Yes I have accumulated 4 baby lips and I am wanting more. I love wearing these. They are super soft on the lips and make my lips feel very smooth and soft. They look cute, with super gorgeous packaging and they smell so nice!
3. Maybelline dream mousse shimmer in champagne.
This is a mousse highlight and I love how gorgeous this looks! It gives such a beautiful highlight right on the cheekbone, and when the light catches it, it brings it to life abit more. It feels super soft on the skin and blends in so well! Its beautiful on the eye lids with a nice soft brown blended into it! I have been wearing this more than the MaryLouManizer by The Balm which is my all time favorite highlight.
4. Real Techniques Powder Brush.
I love real techniques brushes, I have a lot of them now. The one that is new to my collection is the powder brush which is just amazing to apply your powder, loose or pressed! Its a nice big size and super soft. It does not shed and has a nice handle to hold, I feel in control which is important with brushes. I love this brush!
5. Coastal Scents Go Palette London.
I got this palette for Christmas and I LOVE it. I do have to say I was not using it much because I have that many palettes I forget about this one but this month I went back to it and I just love it! It's very pigmented. It goes on so soft and blends in so well. Also the colours in this palette are so pretty. Blues,greens, Purples and then browns and blacks. I have been wearing these eye shadows alot this month.
6. Too Faced Blush Mocha.
I use this blush as a bronzer/blush. After I have done my contouring with a bronzer I then take this and just apply it as a bronzer/blush. So I go where I have contoured and then I blend it up so it looks like my bronzer has blended into a blush! I love how it looks, in the summer it will look beautiful. Its pigmented and has a little bit of shimmer to it.
7. Soap and Glory Butter yourself moisture lotion.
Oh this smells sooooooo good! it has shea butter, orange waterjuice, almond, mango and moringa oils. Its very fruity which I love and look for in scents for my body! Its super soft and leaves my skin so moisturized and soft. Also it melts into wet skin, so when you have come out of the bath or shower and your body is still a little wet after drying you can still apply this moisturizer which is the best thing ever because I hate waiting to be bone dry to apply my moisturizer. Love this so much! smells so good and feels amazingly soft :D
8. Favorite song?
I have been loving Jessica Sutta again. which is not a new song but I have only recently heard it. I have also been loving Bound 2 by Kayne west.
9. Favorite Youtuber?
My favorite youtuber this month is a girl I have just recently found and she is Glam and Gloss 01. she is fabulous and so funny, I have been really loving her videos. Also I have been loving SMLx0, I have loved her from the start. She is so sweet, has fabulous makeup and hair and has amazing videos, and she has replied to some of my tweets which is nice.
10. Something good or nice that has happened in the month?
I have loved that I am now working as a blogger reviewer for Murad! I have made a lovely friend who is Sarah and has been kindly helping me, and sending me products to review and just been an angel and so sweet and lovely. I am so happy to be working with such an amazing company and trying out and telling you what I think about the products so I just wanted to give Sarah I shout out! :D
So that is everything I have loved in March! I hope that you had a good read? It was interesting? and please let me know or send me your blog links to your favorites this month! OXo kimmy

The beauty benefits of using Coconut Oil! ❤
Since November 2013 I have been adding Organic Coconut Oil into my beauty routines. In November I did a blog post on Coconut oil beauty uses I found helpful, but since using it more I have been finding new ways of using it and have become a lot more in love with it. Coconut Oil has many different beauty benefits for the hair and skin and honestly there are hundreds out there that I still yet need to try out but for now this is what I have been using it for and what works for my skin and hair. I thought an updated Coconut oil beauty uses would be helpful and something that is interesting to read because I know not a lot of ladies know much about the fabulous world of coconut oil and to be honest I would of never of thought about using something that you put into food/eat for your face or skin but here is what I have been using it for I hope you enjoy reading!
Coconut oil is known for cooking, using it for vegetable oil and olive oil and putting it into many different recipes. But what coconut oil can do for your skin and hair is more amazing than what it can do for your food. The Coconut oil is a waxy solid but when you heat it up/warm with your hands it melts. What I do is put as much as I need into a bowl and heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds, this will turn it mushy but not a liquid because I like to then heat it up with my hands until it has melted into a liquid. It also smells GREAT... Coconuts mmmh.
Using it for the hair!
I LOVE using coconut oil for my hair, its mostly used on my hair than my skin. For my hair this is what really works to keep it hydrated and looking and feeling healthy and shiny.

Using it for the hair!
I LOVE using coconut oil for my hair, its mostly used on my hair than my skin. For my hair this is what really works to keep it hydrated and looking and feeling healthy and shiny.
- Deep treatment: When the coconut oil is a liquid I apply a small amount on the ends of my hair before or after washing it, you only need a little bit because it goes along way and to much will make your hair greasy and If you use it before washing it I recommend not using a conditioner because that will make your hair greasy. I clip it up and put my hair into a shower cap. I leave it on either all night, or all day. While soaking in a bath, or about 3 hours before I shower. I leave it on for a while because you really want to let the coconut penetrate your hair and soak in. Then wash it out. This is going to strengthen and condition the hair, leaving it in amazing soft condition and hydrated. Kind of like a mask/deep conditioning treatment.
- Hydration Oil for before heat styling/afterwards:Just like normal oils you get for hair, Like argon and macadamia. Coconut oil does the same thing... I just get it into a liquid and apply a tiny bit on the ends of my hair wet or dry. mostly when I have finished styling my hair I add it on. This will make it smooth and shiny, keep the frizz down and hydrate the ends of my hair!
- Bye Bye Dandruff!: This is something I discovered in the winter time when my hair was becoming flaky and dry. I mixed tea tree oil with the coconut oil and applied it on wet hair root to ends and left it on for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes I brushed through my hair with a comb or brush and washed it off. The tea tree oil is going to treat the dandruff while working with the coconut oil to put the hydration back into your hair making the flakes and dry scalp be gone!
Using it for the face!
There are great benefits to using coconut oil on your skin, I recommend using it of a night time because if you use coconut oil on your face of a morning, applying make-up will be a nightmare because it will slip and slide and won't last long. Also you want a clean fresh face while using it, to really feel the benefits and notice them.
- Eye Area: To reduce puffiness, dark circles and redness around my eyes I like to rub a tiny amount onto my hands turning it into a liquid and then gently pat around my eye area ( where you normally apply eye cream ) This can also prevent aged skin, but because I'm young I don't use it for that but it's never to early to start!
- Eye makeup remover/lashes conditioner: This is fabulous to take off mascara, because its an oil it really helps take off makeup on your eyes and also it can be used to condition your lashes. It's just like the cleanse oils you can buy to take makeup off but even better,cheaper and organic!
- Facial Oil: I LOVE using this for a night oil, I really want to try all the beauty oils for your face but for now I like to use Coconut oil on nights where my skin really needs the hydration. Also when I have used a good face mask that leaves my skin feeling a little dry or has pulled every oil out of my face I like to put the oil back into my face and use the coconut oil!
- Lip conditioner: Use it as a lip balm, soothes dry and flaky skin and leaves your lips feeling super soft and hydrated!
Using it for the body!
These are some ways to use it for your body!
- Shaving oil: Its amazing to use for a smoother, closer shave.
- Bath Oil: Applying it to your bath water will make your skin soft and smooth but can be slippy so be careful!
- Massage Oil
- Body scrub: Adding coconut oil and sugar will make a perfect body or lip scrub. Very smooth and not to abrasive.
- Clean out your ears: When turned to liquid put a cotton swap into it and gently clean your ears/belly button. Has to be done!
- Stretch marks: Apply it to stretch marks every day will help heal and clear them! like Bio Oil.
- Soothed cracked and dry skin/feet.
So that is my ways of using coconut oil for beauty reasons. Interesting huh? SO next time your food shopping pick some Organic Coconut oil up, be aware you might get addicted!

Review: Murad Blemish Control Clarifying Mask! ❤
Hey everyone. Anybody out there that reads my blog will already know/have an idea that I am a big fan of face masks! Yes it is true, I love that treatment time to just take out that gunk and do a real good face mask. Recently I have used the Murad Blemish Control Clarifying Mask and I have to say it has made it's way into my top 3!
* disclaimer this product was sent to me for a review but all opinions are 100% mine and honest I never give out false opinions just because the product was sent to me*.
Firstly this face mask claims to deep clean your skin by drawing out the impurities and absorb all the oil! It has ingredients to calm irradiated skin and reduce redness and inflammation so it controls spots and blemishes and also helps unclog pores.
My thoughts when I applied it to my skin?
When I had it on my fingers ready to apply to my face I could already feel how soft it felt which was nice. I also noticed it had no scent just a slight scent of a fresh clean smell. It's not a thick consistency or thin, it just goes on evenly. I loved the fact that it was not thin so I did not have to keep re applying it, I used a little bit and that went a long way. It was not to thick so I did not have any blobs. It went on easily no complaints!
My thoughts while it was on my skin ( waiting for it to dry )?
It gave me no tingly or cooling feeling other than a slight tight feeling while it was drying. The tight feeling became slightly more stronger when it was near enough dry which I liked. The best thing about this mask is it dries super quick I left it on for 15 minutes but it dried in 10! Also I wanted to add I felt NO sting or itch or burning feeling so this mask did not give me any irritation which is excellent! I was feeling very pampered and relaxed while it was on my skin. No complaints!
My thoughts while washing it off my skin?
This came off very well! Very easy and no scrubbing or rubbing was needed it just came right off! I did wash it off in the shower and out of the shower to test it and both times it came off very easily! It also left no mess which sometimes masks do leave some sort of mess but this one left nothing to clean up! Very happy with how it washed off my skin! No complaints!
My thoughts afterwards?
I took a look at my skin and it was so much brighter, and cleaner and looked like every speck of dirt, oil and gunk in my pores had been removed. I also noticed how soft my skin felt, it feels like I did not need to moisturize because it felt that smooth and soft and also I felt moisturized already so the mask did not dry my skin out at all! My skin looked so refreshed and glowing and very clean! There was no oily, greasy skin and my spots had become reduced in size and no redness! I honestly felt like my skin was feeling amazing and was in a good place! No complaints.
Any thoughts the next day?
When I woke up my skin still felt soft and looked clean and bright. I don't know how this mask helped but my makeup went on so much easier and better application. I think that was because the mask pulled all that nasty stuff out of my pores and face.
Overall?
I LOVE this mask! it has made it into my top 3! I recommend it even though it is on the pricey side £38.00! I think it is worth the price tag! Very amazing result and clean brighter unclogged skin with dried out spots that have gone down in size and redness and been taking away.

What I use to hydrate and treat my hair!❤
Hi Everybody! I'm going to be sharing some products/tips/tricks that I love doing to take care of my hair and to make it hydrated and healthy. I like to keep my hair as hydrated as I can and looking healthy, shiny and feeling amazing. So here is what I do for my hair to be kept taking care of.
Firstly is my shampoo and conditioner. I have tried a bunch of shampoo's but none make my hair feel amazing the way this particular brand does. That brand is Alberto Balsam. I love this brand it makes my hair feel and look super clean and hydrated and just smelling wonderful. The scents I have are honey and sweet almond which is very sweet but fresh at the same time and of course smells like honey and almond which is gorgeous but my favorite scent is the coconut and lychee because I love anything in my hair that smells of coconuts, I don't know why but it just smells so good. Also the scents last in my hair for a long time honestly about 3 days and that is with heat styling and using other products. This brand also has a pearl look to them which brings me on to my shampoo tip! If a shampoo is creamy or pear looking then that means its more hydrating and moisturizing than a normal clear shampoo. What a clear shampoo is mainly for is volume and clarifying but since I am talking about hydration and mainly what I look for in hair products I go for the pearly/creamy shampoo's. So next time your out buying your shampoo's be on the look out for what you want and if it comes out pearly/creamy or clear.
So now I am going to talk about what I like to use for deep conditioning/treatment masks. Now if I want just a quick mini hydrating,softening treatment I will use my Alberto Balsam conditioner. I apply it to the ends of my hair and then clip my hair up I then sit in the shower with the water on my feet or body so it's not touching my hair, I will let the steam get to my hair which allows the conditioner to sink in more because your cuticle will open up. I do my shower routine and leave my hair till the very last, I then wash it off and use shampoo. When I do this it makes my hair feel soft and smelling gorgeous and has that extra hydration.
If I am wanting something a little more hydrating but not to intense or a mask then I will get Organic Coconut Oil. This is AMAZING for your hair. The coconut oil is a solid so I like to put some into a bowl and heat it up into the microwave for about 5 seconds which will then turn the oil soft so you can manage it better and work it into your hair much easier. I concentrate on the ends of my hair and whatever is left on my hands I rub into my scalp. I then clip my hair up and leave it for as long as I want too. You can sit in the shower and let the steam get to your hair if you want and sometimes I do. Once you have washed it out your hair will feel so smooth, looking healthy and shiny and as hydrated as can be!
If I am wanting intense hydration I will use a mask or treatment sometimes if my hair needs it or I really want to pamper I will use a mask if I want to add more hydration I will use the mask and organic coconut oil or my conditioner. The mask I use is the Argan Oil Hydrating hair mask which is an intense conditioning treatment. This is full of proteins and Keratin and Argon Oil so that is all your goodness there. It helps dry hair, and improves texture and manageability it also stores that hydration and goodness back into your hair. I love this, I notice how my hair feels so soft and hydrated after using this. It's thick stuff so a little bit does go along way. It does not make my hair sticky,stiff or to oily which is great.
So you can do many things with this but my favorite ways are to apply it to your hair,clip your hair up and leave it on for as long as you can I like to leave it on for a few hours then wash it off. A great way to do this is to wear a shower cap. Or you can leave it on over night for a intense treatment... So wet the ends of your hair, apply the treatments, clip your hair up, put on a shower cap. The bigger the shower cap the better if you have alot of hair because it's going to cover every piece of hair. When you wake up the next morning, take your hair out of the clip/bobble and brush through then wash it off and val-ah great hair that feels smooth, well treated and hydrated.
The other treatment I like is Neal&Wolf harmony intensive care treatment for all hair types. This is Sulfate and paraben free which is very good. This is just a nice silky treatment for any hair type which is great! It leaves my hair nice and smooth and feeling treated. I don't use this one very often because I like using more intense products but I still like this one!
You want to make sure you are always using a treatment on your hair, if that is deep, intense or just a mini treatment. If your using heat on your hair nearly everyday your hair needs that moisture and hydration and treatment. You will find when you do get into that routine of using treatments your heat styling comes out a lot better, whether that is curling or flat ironing or blow drying your hair it will come out much better because it all begins with hydrating and treating your hair! kind of like your makeup, you wash your face and moisturize it before applying your makeup, but if you didn't do that you would notice your makeup application wont be as good!
Moving on to a leave in conditioner which I love to use if I have not done any treatments that day that I have washed my hair! I use Inecto pure Coconut leave in conditioner. I just love coconut scents can you tell? ;). This smells so good, pure coconuts which is the best smell for my hair! This is also Paraben free. It protects against heat, nourishes and hydrates your hair, calms frizz and fly always and leaves your hair moisturized.
The last thing is an Oil. I like to apply oil at the ends of my hair after styling because it just adds that extra hydration and softness and also keeps the frizz down if you have any. I use Matrix softening treatment oil. This is just fantastic, it really does soften my hair and keeps any split ends or hair from frizzing! and it adds that hydration.
So that is everything that I love to use for my hair to keep it hydrated and soft and manageable! I have over used the word hydrating to much! :P I hope you found this helpful in any way and thank's for reading... Please follow my blog if you have not already!

I have over used the word hydrating to much! :P I hope you found this helpful in any way and thank's for reading... Please follow my blog if you have not already!

What I have been loving this February!❤
Hey Everyone! February is nearly over which has happened so quick I feel. Anyway I am going to share what I have been loving this month/January since I didn't do a post like this for January. This is just anything I have been reaching for the most and loving. I was going to include things I haven't liked, like my hates of this month but I couldn't find anything :D Let's get to it.
* Pictures are off the products websites*
L'Oreal True Match Foundation(I'm in the colour N1 Soft Ivory )
I have been using this foundation for all of February and I love it. I have never tried it before but seen lots of good reviews about it, so I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did because now it has become a foundation I'm using all the time. It's super blend-able and very light on the skin, but still gives excellent medium coverage. I find a little bit goes a long way and it lasts a good few hours I'd say up to 5-6 hours without creasing or moving. It has a nice smooth finish to it and it does not look oily or dry.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer( I'm in the colour 15 )
I use this for under my eyes and lids to cover up lines, dark circles any redness. This does not MOVE or settle into any fine lines. Its very long wearing and feels creamy. It has a medium coverage but you can for sure build that up to the perfect coverage you need. It's not to thin or to thick, and it blends very well. Its hard to find that excellent concealer sometimes and this is just the best! Very great and its drugstore.
Maybelline Gel Eye Liner ( Colour is a chocolate brown )
I have been loving wearing eye liner on my top lids lately which I hardly ever did before I was always a water liner kind of gal. I have got into using liners for my top line and I have been LOVING gel eye liner. I feel like I have more control with gel liner, Its soft and blend-able and is less messy. I have been wearing a dark dark brown liner because its not as harsh and dark as a black one. I feel it looks more day time and subtle and if you want a smoked black dark liner look you can just go over the dark brown with a black pencil or shadow. This Gel Liner does not move! Honestly it stays put and sometimes is a little harder to get off at night when your getting your makeup off.
O.P.I Nail Lacquer in the colour Congeniality is my middle name.
This is such a beautiful deep dark pink/red colour. It has little sparkles but nothing to glittery. I LOVE this shade its so dark but at the same time it has that girlyness to it. It lasts at least up to 5 days without chipping and does not clump up or go on to thick or thin!
Barry M Nail Paint in the colour Vivid Purple.
This is a beautiful deep rich purple! I love my dark nail colours but I still want girlyness and this colour gives me it. I can't get over how pretty this colour is, it has a little shimmer. The Barry M nail Paint does not clump or to thick or thin, It does not last that long without chipping which is the only fault to it, It only lasts me about 4 days but that is OK because I love it and the colour is so pretty.
Revlon Lip Butter in the colour Sweet Tart.
I have been wearing this lip butter for most of January and most of February. I feel its the best when your lips feel on the dry side. Its feels so moisturizing just like your applying a balm, Its very pigmented and wears well. It does not settle or bleed it feels amazing and creamy. The colour is a reddy pink!
Palmer's Lip Butter Dark Chocolate and Peppermint.
Oh my gosh! If you have not tried this you need to. This is the best thing ever for chocolate lovers. It smells like chocolate after eight mints, It smells better than chocolate and tastes better than chocolate. Its super moisturizing and takes care of my dry lips. I sit there licking it off and re applying because it is so yummy. Its super soft and I apply it at night time when I go to bed and I wake up with soft lips and the scent is still slightly on them. Amazing!!!!!
Sanctuary Spa Therapies comforting night butter.
This smells like a calming spa scent. Its very relaxing and soothing and it was in the sleepy time set. I use this as a hand cream at night before I turn my light off to go to sleep. It's just one of them luxurious comforting night butters that adds that calming feel. Its super soft and dries in quick, Its very moisturizing and I don't have any dry skin on my hands anymore. It's not to watery or thick its that perfect moisturizing formula.
Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir Tease.
I love perfumes so much so when it comes to picking one to wear for the day I struggle but lately this is one I have been reaching for the most. It's super girly but super sexy and womanly. It's fruity but sexy I find it hard to describe scents to people I just want you to smell it and give your own opinion on it because we all have different tastes and smells but for me this is girly, womanly, sexy and fruity.
Horoscopes.
I have been really into reading up my horoscope and its become an every morning routine for me. I'm a Libra and most of the things my horoscope has been saying lately has been so true and on point. Its fascinating and something I have been loving these past months.

Confident by Justin Bieber.
I heard this song on the Kiss Fm Radio and ever since I have had it in my head. I love it, TBH I have been loving most of his songs. Can't help it he does bring out good music.
I'm A freak by Enrique Iglesias.
Of course I have to give my Husband ;) a shout out. I love him so much he is the most beautiful and sexy man ever with a gorgeous voice. I can't wait for his Sex and Love Album to come out in March. I have been loving his new song I'm a freak ft Pitbull.
So that is all of what I have been loving I hope you enjoyed reading and please let me know in the comments things you have been loving.

Something Special for a dog who was special! ❤
Hello! So this is a very different post and something that I have never done before and that is some nail art/nail designs. When it comes to painting my nails I am very impatient and very messy. I am not very artistic or even good at art/drawing/painting but I decided to give it a try because today is a sad day for me and my mum and dad because today's date February 15th our lovely dog Lucy died on this date in 2011. Lucy was not just a pet, she was part of the family, part of my life and she was my best friend/baby! Cancer took her from us but she was a strong dog and hung on for as long as she could. I like to think of it that an angel joined the heaven 3 years ago on this date because Lucy was an angel. Anyway I wanted to do something special for her so I decided to have a go at some nail design. My mum has an amazing talent at nail art so she was over the moon when I was having a try at it. It sparked something off in me when I was doing these nails, I got hooked and wanted to keep doing some nail designs so my mum is teaching me and I will be doing some nail art/design posts. Here is what nail design I did for Lucy...
They are very girly and very cute! For my first ever go I thought it looks very nice! here is what I used...
Firstly I used Maybelline forever strong pro polish in the colour Porcelain Pink on all of the nails. I did a couple of coats because I didn't want the pink to look washed out or to light.
After that dried I then put the Barry M nail paint limited edition in the colour E 334 over the pink on the four nails ( not the thumb)
On the thumb I draw a paw print with a black marker pen and then put the Barry M glitter on the tip.
I then finished with a clear top coat and that is how I did it. Very simple and easy but looks very cute and girly!
So there is the nails I done in memory of my lovely dog Lucy Simpson, I miss her so much but I know she is in a happier and free of pain place, watching and looking down on me!

New Series: Holy grail or Holy fail?❤
Hello angels! what's happening? a new series? this blog is getting fancy! I thought of doing a little series on my blog called Holy Grail or Holy Fail. Basically for each post I do on this series there will be a category, from that category I will pick 5 products that I believe to be Holy Grail or Holy Fails. I will be giving my honest opinion but its only my opinion so what works or doesn't might be different for everybody. I think this series is rather interesting instead of doing a single post for 1 review I'm doing a mash up of products that have failed for me and ones that have been the best and telling you if I believe that its a holy grail or a holy fail! Sound good? Lets get started...
For the first post the category is skincare.
Holy Fails:
1. L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 purifying Micellar Solution.
This claims to dissolve makeup, tone and sooth skin, Unclog pores and remove impurities. I have to say it does none of that for my skin. Firstly it just wets my makeup and moves it around my skin I see NO dissolving or even just taking it off. So I thought OK it does not take face makeup off let's try eye makeup. I pored a generous amount onto a cotton pad, held it onto my eyes for about 20 seconds and wiped away and a tiny bit of mascara came off, I had to rub and rub and rub to get all my mascara off and it didn't even take my eyeliner off on my water line. It does take off none waterproof mascara a little bit, but not much! I use waterproof mascara and it takes so much rubbing and I had to use about 4 big cotton pads. It did nothing but wet and move my makeup around so I think for a makeup remover it failed and there is no way it unclogged my pores or helped in any way with impurities.
2.Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Treatment.
This is just a spot treatment that you put on a spot to reduce the size and redness. This is a little bit strange because I used to use this and it worked amazingly for me. It reduced the size of a spot and took away the redness, sometimes I would notice it took away that raised red bump you sometimes get when a spot is coming to the surface. The reason why this is in my Holy Fail is because it has stopped working!! *sad face* it does not take any redness, or reduce the size and it certainly does not take away any spots. It has completely stopped working for my skin and I don't know why. Unfortunately this has become a Holy Fail.
Holy Grail's:
1. Philosophy Purity one step facial cleanser
This has to be in my holy grail because it truly is! I have talked about this for so long on many of my posts I will always use this because it has made my skin so much brighter and cleaner! Basically its a one step facial cleanser so it washes and removes makeup, dirt and bacteria. It PH balances so it is not necessary to use a toner afterwards but you still can if you want. This is the best wash ever. My skin feels very unclean and yuck if I don't use it. It takes away every speck of makeup and feels soft when I'm washing my face with it. It is very much a holy grail of mine and I know for a lot of people it's a holy grail.
2. Philosophy The Mircrodelivery daily Exfoliating facial wash.
Again I have mentioned this in previous posts of mine. I hate strong exfoliating facial washes because my skin is sensitive so I try and find the gentlest one out there and I finally did. I first had a bunch of samples and then I finally bought a 240ml bottle. Its very gentle and can be used daily. It leaves my skin feeling well cleaned and smooth and looks fresher and brighter. Its not at all ruff, so you don't feel like your scratching your face away, its smooth but at the same time you can feel your getting a good clean! LOVE it.
3. Lush Mask Of Magnaminty.
This smells so yummy! It reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream, Very pepperminty and sweet. This mask has peppermint oils to stimulate the skin, so you can feel cooling and tingling feelings. Marigold oil and Chlorophyllin to treat the skin, So any blackheads or pimples or impurities this mask will sort them out for you. Then the best part its also a gentle scrub, It has evening primrose seeds and aduki beans to gently exfoliate. I left this on for 15 minutes and I could feel it stimulating and detoxifying and pulling the gunk, impurities and oil out of my skin. It feels like a mask you would have in a spa, you just know its doing your skin good. When its time to wash it off, you scrub your skin with it and then wash it off, washing it off is easy it does not take much to take it off. I love how my skin looks once this is off. My skin looks brighter and clear and not at all oily or dry it feels amazingly soft. Pimples and redness have cleared up and my skin tone looks even, pores have shrunk and my skin feels amazing!!!! That is the best mask I love using it and love how my skin feels afterwards. Its my holy grail mask!
So that is it! First post on my first ever series. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy the series because I got lots more products to talk about <3 In the comments I would love to hear about your skincare holy grail and fails.

Warm brown smokey eyes. ♥
Hello everyone! These past few weeks I have been loving an eye makeup look that I have been wearing so much lately. It's using the Urban Decay Naked palette ( the first one ) and The Balm Nude Tude palette. I love these palettes so much, they both are very pigmented and both have gorgeous colours. I have recently created a warm,soft,smokey brown with both of the palettes so I thought it would be a good idea to show it on my blog since I'm always looking for new makeup looks to try. This warm,smokey,brown look really compliments and brings out my eye colour and I think it will do with a lot of eye colours. It has a smoked look to it, but not to Over the top smokey. I just love it so here is how I achieved this look.
The first thing I do is use the Urban Decay Naked palette and the shade Naked which is a skin tone shade. I take this on a round fluffy brush in my crease. I then take Buck which is a soft brown shade and fluff that around my lid and into my crease.
Next I use the Balm Nude Tude palette and the colour Sultry. This is a warm brown with hints of caramel tones. I pat this onto my lid with a flat eye shadow brush. I also go into my crease with this colour and turn my brush sideways when I get to the outer corner of my eye to create a shape and it brings the colour a little higher at the outer corner.
When I have finished patting that sultry colour onto my lid I go back with the color Buck from the Naked palette. I take that into my crease, swooping it back and forth. I notice when I do this step it makes a big difference to the whole look. It manipulates the crease colours making it blended and blown out. Since this is a smoked warm brown look I need that blown out affect and going back in with the buck which is a soft brown it really brings a blown out blended look. I turn my brush sideways when I reach the outer corner to shape and bring the colour higher.
I like to take a clean blending brush without any product and just swoop that back and forth in my crease to blend even more. Staying with The Nude Tude palette I take the colour Seductive which is one of my favourtie colours in this palette. Its a warm sparkly bronzed shade. I take that on a fluffy brush and focus on the outer corner of my eyes. Doing this step will bring the eye look together so it does not look flat and gives it more dimension and warmth. I then go back with a clean blending brush and just blend some more. ( Blending is always necessary )
So to pull this look together I take sultry that warm brown shade under my eyes. Taking this back and forth gently inner to outer corner. I then take a clean brush and just swoop it under my eyes to blend it out.
For a highlight under my brown bone I use MaryLouManizer by The Balm. This is a shimmer golden champagne highlight it brings in the warmth and glow I love this highlight so much,Very pigmented and very beautiful!
Now I do my eyeliner and mascara or lashes if I'm feeling up to it. For eyeliner I use Mac Kohl eye pencil which is very creamy and for mascara I use L'Oreal Telescopic which is the best mascara I have ever used, grabs your lashes and brings volume and length.
And that is it! I love this look so much and I hope you do! Thank's for reading and please let me know any makeup looks you have been loving. :-)
