The British Beauty Blogger teamed up with Latest In Beauty to bring us The Dream Box and what a dream it is! I don't think I have ever been so excited about a beauty box before. The three days I had to wait for it to arrive at my door seemed like forever!

Happy Birthday Rimmel London

You may be aware that Rimmel London are celebrating their 180th Birthday! Just over a week ago Rimmel London teamed up with Facebook and Superdrug for an exclusive one time offer and you had to be quick to get it! For 180 minutes Superdrug online were offering Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara for 180p! Yes, that's right! Just £1.80! Crazy, right? 
 At that price I couldn't say no, so placed the order and had it sent to store. This is not a brand new product, it has been around for sometime. Its an oldie but a classic and you can never have too many mascaras, its sometimes nice to have a basic one. 
This mascara does come with a big brush and I'm normally not a big fan as I always end up getting more mascara on my eye lid than I do my eye lashes! Anyone else have that problem? But I did like how it applied. Not clumpy at all, it separated my eye lashes well and made them appear longer. However I didn't feel it gave my lashes the volume I was expecting, they just seemed long and thin and I prefer a mascara to make my lashes look fuller and thicker. But for a very natural look I would definitely give this product a big thumbs up and for £1.80 you really can't complain.

Did you manage to pick up this fantastic offer?



Until next time

Recent Purchase

A couple of weeks ago I came across this little wall hanging that caught my eye. The words are perfect to me, so I just had to purchase it from this cute little page I found called The Vintage Iris. I got to choose the colour I wished for and I went with white, with silver trim. The lady who runs this cute page was so lovely and helpful.
These photo's really don't do the hanging any justice, it's so lovely in real life.
Okay, so I'm a bit behind on reading this but after seeing the trailer for the movie, which I believe is out early June, I just had to buy the book and read it. I find books hard to get into but this one I'm finding hard to put down! It's about a girl, Hazel who has terminal cancer, who joins a support group and her final chapter in life gets totally rewritten when she meets a boy. I know I haven't really sold this book to you at all! (sorry about that) but I promise it is definitely worth a read. I'm only over half way through but I'm really enjoying it.
Have you read this book?


Until next time

Product review: Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner

In a previous blog post I mentioned that I really wanted to try the new L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. So I went out and purchased it. I believe they were half price at the time. I have very thin flat hair and anything that claims to make my hair appear thicker and more fuller looking, I'm willing to give it a try. 
I'd like to say this ended out well and I loved the products. But I would be lying and that's not what this blog is about. I will always give my honest opinion. 
These products smell amazing! Very fresh. But after two weeks of trying this product I had to stop using it. I say 'had' but it was more of a choice I made as I really didn't like how it left my hair feeling. After washing my hair, within 8 hours (no lie) my roots appeared greasy and felt horrible! Not a good look! I wash my hair every other day and I have never experienced greasy roots on the day that I wash my hair before using other products. I also found that my hair seemed more weighed down and more flat, like the product was still stuck in my hair no matter how much I rinsed it, totally the opposite to what the product is meant to be doing.
Overall I just didn't like the way it felt and appeared on my hair. In the time I did use these products, I really didn't notice my hair appearing any thicker looking. I wasn't expecting these products to make my hair beautifully thick and bouncy overnight but I definitely didn't expect them to leave my hair appearing and feeling the way it did.
These products unfortunately didn't work for me but they may work for you, as everyone has different hair.

Let me know if you have tried these products and what you thought of them.


Until next time
