My favourite skincare products at the moment ♥
I love
skincare, I love talking about it, I love shopping for it, I love using skin
products so I decided to do a post on my favorite skin care products
at the moment. I have so many skin care products that I use every once in
a while so I am just going to talk about what I love at this moment. I hope you
enjoy reading!!
Cleansers.
My all
time favorite cleanser is Purity
one step facial cleanser by Philosophy. This is for all skin types and will
not clog your pores and also it won't strip your skin from its natural oils,
it's actually going to put oil back into your skin because it has natural oils
init. It's a one step facial cleanser because it's going to cleanse your skin,
remove makeup including eye makeup and tone your face with just one formula.
It's very gentle on the skin and eyes and can be applied to dry or damp skin. I
use this morning and night, it's an amazing cleanser that really takes away any
speck of makeup and dirt. It's perfect for everybody.
For days when my skin
needs soothing and calming I use Murad
Soothing gel cleanser. If your skin is breaking out, producing redness and
inflammation you need this cleanser. This cleanses away dirt and bacteria, soothes and
calms skin and helps with any redness and inflammation. This is super soft
and moisturizing and helps so much with any breakouts and
irritated skin. It has moisturizing beads to restore
moisture and softness, also peppermint and berry leaf extracts to help with
inflammation. It smells soothing and feels soothing and cooling.
Exfoliating washes.
Most of the time I use MicroDelivery Exfoliating facial wash by Philosophy. This is for all skin types and gentle enough to use daily. It's not to abrasive but is gritty so you do get a good scrub. My skin feels softer, cleaner and brighter.
I also have been
recently using the Olay total
effects self heating exfoliate. This
is amazing!!! It has warming micro crystals and is a 7 in 1 exfoliate. It
brightens, improves texture and smoothness, exfoliates, removes dirt and makeup
and helps the appearance of pores. You splash your face with water, apply
this to your skin using circular movements at that point you feel a slight warm
feeling, then you apply more water to get the full thermal experience. I must
put your mind at rest and tell you this does not burn or get to hot, it's
basically just warm. It feels so soothing and it exfoliates well without being
harsh on the skin.
Beauty Oil, Moisturizers and
eye cream.
I love Origins GinZing energy boosting moisturizer. The scent of this first of all makes me so happy and it's pretty addictive. The scent is pure oranges that makes you crave an orange slush! This feels super hydrating to the skin, it is a thick moisturizer but not too heavy. You can apply it Am and Pm and it's not sticky or greasy. I have noticed my skin is brightening with this moisturizer so it must have vitamin c so that is always a great thing. My skin feels amazing with this moisturizer.
Clarins Daily
Energizer Cream is
another favorite of mine. Its a thick moisturizer but very
silky. It gives the skin a little glow but not oily just brighter and a little
tiny glow, and feels baby soft! This cream gives my skin hydration and a
perfect base for when I apply my makeup. I use this as a day cream rather than
a night. I love the scent, it smells very womanly and grown up but not a
grandma scent!
My favorite beauty
oil is Balm Balm 100% organic
little miracle rose serum. This is for all skin types, and its natural
and organic. The scent is so girly, it's pure roses but not to overpowering or
sickly. This is going to be used in conjunction with your
normal moisturizer. It's a thick oil but won't make you look like a
grease chicken and if your skin is very dry, it will drink this oil up so
quickly. This oil has improved the texture of my skin and also I notice I don't
produce as much oil and breakouts when I use it.
For eye cream there is
only one that I love which does not irritate and sting my eyes and that is Kiehls creamy eye treatment with
avocado oils. This is made to hydrate, brighten and de puff the eyes.
It has such an amazing brightening effect that gives the eyes a natural
luminous glow. It has saved my eyes from dryness and puffiness and does a
fabulous job for tired eyes. It has a scent of avocado ( of course ) but the
fragrance does not bother my eyes at all.
Masks.
Lush mask of
magnanimity is
my all time favorite mask! This is so minty it's gorgeous! It
has peppermint oil which will stimulate the skin, it helps with dark spots,
break outs and it's also a scrub. So you apply it to your skin, leave it on to
dry and then when your washing it off you scrub your face with it. Its not at
all harsh or to abrasive. You can put this in your fridge and then
apply it to your skin for a much more intense mask if you wanted to that is
optional. This pulls out every dirt and bacteria from your skin and you can
feel it doing so. You feel a cooling, minty, stimulating feeling which is
incredible. You feel every nasty stuff and toxins are coming out of your skin.
It has the most amazing mint scent but I will tell you it is intense, so if you
don't like peppermint you won't like this. I love it so much, my skin looks
clean, no breakouts have happened, if I did have any they dried up, my skin
feels refreshed and ah just beautiful.
Murad clarifying mask is also on my favorites. I
use this more when I need to take everything out and start again with my
skin because it does help more with breakouts and blemishes and it clarifies
the skin. I don't think this has a scent to it because I don't smell one.
It's a soft mask and dries really quickly. It pulls so much out from your pores,
and makes your skin feel baby soft. It sucks everything out and gives you a
fresh start which everybody needs to do at least once a week to just pull out
everything and start again. There is not much of a feeling when it's
drying, just a tightening feeling. It's a mask I recommend :D
Cream Cleanser
After I have taken my
makeup off with wipes, or Micellar water I like to use a cream cleanser. I love
using Oil of Aloe Vitamin E
creme. This gets deep down and takes off any speck of makeup and dirt.
Its moisturizing and for all skin types. It feels luxurious and soft
and leave my skin looking cleaner and baby soft. Its one of
my favorite products to use as I am taking makeup off because it
feels so pampering. The scent is like a luxurious spa scent and the
cream is not greasy or sticky. I love this and have been using it for years as
a makeup remover extra step.
That is
my favorite skincare products at the moment. I hope you had a
good read and let me know what skincare products you are loving at the
moment... :D

Spring/Summer eyes! ♥
Hello girls! So today I thought it would be nice to show you what eye make-up look I have been wearing and loving. This look really suits the spring/summer. These colours are going to look great on everybody's eye colour especially brown eyes. If I show a make-up look I try and make sure every eye colour can wear it because I like every girl to feel they can take this look and create it, or get ideas from it. I hope you enjoy reading! Xx
Firstly like always prime time! I use Urban Decay Primer Potion all over my lid with my finger, You can use a concealer which I do most of the time, you just need something to cover the base of your eye, and something that your eye shadow will stick to.
I then start off with my crease colour, I use the Naked 1 palette and the shade Naked! This is just a skin tone shade. I sweep that back and forth with a fluffy brush in my crease. I then take the colour Buck which is a soft brown shade from the Naked Palette and sweep that back and forth in my crease. This is a transition shade and also creating a blown out look.
I move onto my lid and I use Maybelline colour tattoo in the colour on and on bronze. These Colour Tattoo's are the best! They are perfect to blend, very creamy and are pigmented like crazy. I take this on my finger and press it onto my lid, Once I feel I have enough I blend it out with a clean brush. I press it onto my lid because I feel it's way more easier and you get more pigment.
I like to add more bronze to my lid so I go back to the Naked palette and use Smog which is a golden bronze shade. I take it on a brush and pat it onto my lid, patting the Urban Decay shadows onto your lid will create less fall out and more pigment.
Taking a clean fluffy brush I go back in my crease with the Naked and Buck shade and blend blend blend...
I like to add a white in my tear duct to create more of a ' open eye effect' so I use NYX jumbo eye pencil in the colour milk. To highlight my brow bone I use marylou manizer by the Balm.
I do my mascara and liner and then move onto my lower lash line!
I take a black pencil and line my water line. Then I use a flat top brush and Revlon Silver Fox Palette, I use the mint green shade and sweep it back and forth under my lashes taking up meeting where a cat eye flick would be. This mint shade is so pretty, it brings so much attention to the eyes. I then take a aqua shade I am using NYX 78 colour palette, the blue shade's in this palette are beautiful. I sweep that back and forth under the eyes. The mint and aqua shade will bring everything together and work very beautifully together.
That is the final eye look! I feel it is very summer/spring appropriate with the golden bronze on the lid, and mint greeny blue on the bottom :D I hope you enjoyed reading and please let me know in the comments make-up looks you are loving! Xx

Beauty oils + oily/acne prone skin tips ♥
I have been obsessed with beauty oils, so for this post I wanted to talk to you about them but before I start I just wanted to give you some tips on oily/acne prone skin because what most people will do when they hear ' beauty oils' or ' moisturizer' is stay away from them because they are so oily already the thought of putting any oil onto the skin freaks them out but that is where people go wrong... so please step into my little science class for just a moment.
What most people do when they have oily/acne prone skin is they start stripping away the skin thinking that is going to stop the oil and acne. So they avoid any hydration on the skin like moisturizers and beauty oils. This is a big NO No for anybody who has that skin type and any skin type in general. here is the science'y part.
Our bodies respond to whatever we are doing to it, when your body gets its natural oils it needs stripped away it freaks out,you have basically drained all your natural oils your body produces and needs. Your sebum glands will be put on full steam and start to over produce oil. This causes your skin to become more oily than normal and more acne prone. What most people need to know is Oil combats oil!! You need to moisturize, you need to hydrate your skin, you need to not strip the oil your skin needs. Applying a moisturizer or beauty oil will combat the oil, stopping your sebum glands over producing the oil. Your skin will start thinking oh we are getting oil so we don't need to produce so much. Also don't over exfoliate your face, most people when they see a pimple they start scrubbing and scrubbing with harsh products. This will irritate your skin making it red and spreading the oil around creating more and more break outs. Exfoliate at least 3 times a week ( every other day ) and use a cleanser with enzymes that will naturally and gently exfoliate.
The rest I think you already know like cleanse and wash every day, take your makeup off every day and just look after your skin. Your face is the first thing people notice, you apply make-up to your skin, you need the base to be flawless and then you will have great make-up days :D now onto my beauty oil obsession ...
Ever since I tried many samples of Kiehl's midnight recovery serum I fell in love with beauty oils, I wanted to try them all. I came across The Balm Balm rose beauty oil. I have now been using it for about 2 weeks and I love it. First it smells so girly and amazing, just pure roses!! The rose scent is not irritable or over powering. It feels luxurious and makes your skin feel beautiful and soft.
This oil is 100% natural and organic, its amazing for any age and skin type. Its a thick oil but also lightweight so it will not make you look like a grease chicken. It dries into the skin after about 20 minutes. If you apply a thin, thin layer it can be applied in the morning time but I'd give it about half an hour before applying any make-up. I apply it at night about 2 hours before bed because I like to apply a good layer and let it soak and sink into my skin. My skin loves this oil, it soaks it in really well and I have notice I'm not oily during the next day. My skin feels very smooth, soft and glowing when I wake up the next morning, My skin feels moisturized and well hydrated. The scent of roses makes you feel more luxurious and girly.
I hope this post was not to long,and it helped some of you.. and hopefully you love beauty oils and will try some. :D

I'm back to blogging + Murad reviews! ♥
Hello! I am finally back from my little break from blogging! I explained why I was taking a break in my last post HERE . I have missed blogging so I'm back to business. For this post I have a Murad review. I love this company, I think the skincare products are really nice and have been beneficial for my skin. I also wanted to mention Sarah who is the lady who I am currently working with as a blogger reviewer for Murad. Sarah is so lovely and sweet and extremely helpful. I just wanted to mention her because she has been amazing and I am so glad to be working with her. Also even though I am a blogger reviewer for Murad all opinions are my own. I will never have a dishonest post just because I am getting sent products. My reviews are 100% my own and truthful. Now Onto the reviews :D
Murad Soothing Gel Cleanser. * price - £27.00 *
This smells amazing!!!! It smells very soothing so I can see where the name 'soothing' has come from because it smells very soothing and feels very soothing. The scent is Fresh/Soothing/Peppermint/Cucumber, its not overpowering which is good but does smell so good! This feels very soft on the skin which I love because my skin is sensitive and I hate any cleanser or wash that is to ruff on the skin. I was having a bit of a break out one week, my skin needed to be soothed and calmed so I washed my face with this cleanser and I noticed how redness, tightness and the spots went down! my skin felt very calm and soothed which really makes me happy and I try and save this cleanser for days where my skin needs that soothing and calming cleanser. Also my skin has been dry more than oily lately and when I use this gel cleanser my skin feels hydrated and I no longer have dry areas on my skin. This cleanser makes my skin feel soothed when I am washing it, after washing my skin feels fresh and clean, looks brighter and clear and also feels very soft. I love this, its gentle and does not irritate my eyes or skin, I recommend it!!!
Murad Hydrating Toner. * Price - £23.00 *
Oh this has to be the best toner I have ever used!! Now because my skin has been on the dryer side lately I have needed more hydrating products so this hydrating toner has been giving my skin that extra hydration it has been needing. This has been so nice to use every night and morning and has been very hydrating to my skin. It also smells Soooooo lovely, very calming but also fresh! I love how it is a spray rather than applying it to a cotton pad. It's also nice to just refresh your skin with :) It soaks in quick and feels amazing.
Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture * Price - £64.00 *
This moisturizer is super rich and thick. So I apply it in the night time because it's thick, in the day time you want a lighter moisturizer.
This moisturizer has helped my skin become a lot more hydrated and soft. It's a tiny bit on the greasy side but its not at all to oily. Its nice to have a thick, thick moisturizer when my skin needs that hydration and moisture. I feel my skin is moisturized all night, even when I wake up my skin still feels moisturized and soft! It feels very luxurious and smells of shea butter and a little fruity which is lovely. I have noticed the texture of my skin has improved as well as the tone of my skin! Great moisturizer!!
Murad Soothing Gel Cleanser. * price - £27.00 *
This smells amazing!!!! It smells very soothing so I can see where the name 'soothing' has come from because it smells very soothing and feels very soothing.

Taking a break from MakeupwithKimmy!
This post is just going to be me telling whoever reads this that I might be taking a break from blogging, Before I quit all together I might just take a break. This may cause my follower number to go down but hey ho that is just the way it is.
So like all bloggers you start off small and just build it up and that is what I have been doing. I started blogging in July 2013 and now in March 2014 I have reached 157 followers which to me is pretty amazing. Lately I have been just thinking about that number and to be honest I don't feel any good that I have that number. Why? well I do a post and put a lot of effort and time into it, I post it and I receive 0, maybe 1 comment on that post. Now I know comments are not everything but to be honest I love feedback and reading the comments and interacting with people on my blog. To do a post you think is pretty interesting, you have put a lot of time, dedication and effort into it, you post it and you just get nothing from the 157 people that have followed your blog its pretty disheartening and when that keeps happening it gets to the point of " is anyone reading my blog" " is my blog not good" you start getting questions in your head.
Also from this blogging experience I thought I'd gain some friendships and talk to people and just interact with other bloggers and to be honest I have not! I have tweeted, in the #bbloggers. I have commented on tweets and blogs, I have done things to interact with people but I feel nothing gets back to me.
Now I am not trying to make this post all about me complaining because good things from blogging have come out of it like, enjoying writing posts and having some fun with my blog. Also I have got to work with many amazing companies, like Philosophy and Murad and many more to review their products on my blog which is amazing and I have loved that.
I guess I just wish I had some feedback and some interaction and knowing that someone is reading my posts, and they are helpful and interesting and I am just not wasting my time and effort when nobody is reading them...
I think Makeupwithkimmy will be on a break just because I just want to take time out of blogging and just think about if I should just end blogigng all together or carry on :-) If you have any suggestions let me know. Xx
thank you to anyone who has read my posts or commented I am grateful and yeah that is all... Goodbye for now blogging world! xox

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.

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.
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

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!
