Latest In Beauty Awards 2015! My Picks!

Heyy guys! 

So a email popped into inbox the other day from Latest In Beauty, i am always looking on their site to see what Limited edition boxes they have on offer. That is when i saw that they were doing a  Beauty Awards 2015 box which allows you to create your won box and there are some great award winning products to choose from!. 

There are 3 opinions for you to choose 

Box 1- 3 Products £8.99 

Box 2- 6 Products £12.99

Box 3- 9 Products £16.99

Some of the products have been sold out but there is still a good selection for you to choose from! 

So here are the products i chose!

Burt's Bees Deep Cleansing Cream- I have only ever tried 1 product from Burts Bees in the past which was a lip balm, so i cant wait to try this cleansing balm which is 100% natural. Full price this product is £10.99, so almost the price of the box!. 

Zoella Fresh Fizz- I am a big Zoella fan so i was very happy to be able to try her new bath fizzer from the Tutti Fruity which would usually cost £5. 

He-Shi Express Liquid Tan 50ml - This summer i have started getting into using fake tan more as i do actually like looking tan, and whilst on holiday i finally picked up a bit of colour! so i like to keep up my tan , so I'm excited to try this out, full price this product would cost around £20!.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo {+}- I remember last year this product was all over the beauty blogs so i was very happy that i get to try it for myself! Full price comes in at around £11-£15. 

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer- Again another product that rocked the beauty blogs last year, Philip Kingsley is a well respected hair brand so i cant wait to give this product a try! Full price £16-£29

So have you tried any of these products? 

Let me know what you think of them!

What I got for Christmas! 2014

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Sorry i haven't been posting for a while but with Uni deadlines, working and Christmas i haven't had much spare time! but in 2015 i really want to make more of an effort with my blog! 

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and had a lovely day with your friends and family and had some really yummy food (in my case too much!). 

One of my favourite videos and blog post to read is 'What i got for Christmas' one because I'm a bit nosey and because a lot of the items you may possibly be able to find in the sale! So i thought i would put together a quick post of a few bits that my Friends & Family got me for Christmas. In no way am i showing off and i do appreciate everything that i receive this year. 

One of my closest friends got me some lovely presents this year and along with some other bits and Bob's she got me the Real Techniques Nics picks brush set & a Zoella makeup cases, i absolutely love their brushes and have wanted this set for a while & i love Zoella so she know me very well!. 

My Mum & Dad treated me to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette & Clinques Super Balanced Foundation which was the foundation the makeup artist used on my for my Prom and i loved how it looked on my skin. I also got a Garnier Oil Beauty set which included their new Beauty Oil Scrub and body lotion. 

My brother did very well this year and got me Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot blush palette! I am looking forward to trying out the blushers as i have never tried any of their blushes and it includes 5 blushers as well as their Hoola bronzer as well as their Whats Up! Highlighter.

Lush- Almost everyone who knows me knows i love Lush! so i was lucky enough to receive a couple of items which included their Hot Toddy shower gel, Melting marshmallow moment bath melt. Granny takes a dip bath bomb & So White bath bomb. 

Fault in our stars DVD- I absolutely loved reading The Fault In Our Stars and i loved the movie so i was very happy to have received the DVD (A box of tissues & chocolates at the ready).

Disney- Another thing that everyone know i love is Disney!! So My mum and dad got me these cute Minnie Mouse slippers! and my best friend also got me a Nemo Ariel for my car. 

Ugg Headphones- I was very surprised by my brothers other present for me, he got me a pair of ugg earmuffs which also connect to your phone and act as headphones, perfect for those cold train journeys in the morning to university. 

Rose Gold Bracelet- I Love rose gold! so one of my other brothers and my Sister in law got me a lovely diamante rose gold bangle!. 

Pilates Foam Roller- Since starting university i have had lessons in Pilates and so i could do some of the exercises at home i asked for a foam exercise roller for christmas (also part of my new years resolution to exercise more outside of uni).

Thankyou for visiting my blog

let me know what you got for christmas this year?

and if you have any suggestions you may have for future blog posts

Hair Hearts & Dilemmas!

Hey Lovelies, 

So for a while now i have been wanted to do something new with my hair, but have never really been too daring when it comes to hair colour and have only had a couple of highlights here and there, i think the most drastic iv gone is when i went blonde (by accident but really liked it in the end). Now my hair is a mousy brown colour with blonde parts throughout, iv actually had comments of friends and hairdressers asking if i have dip dyed it because it has naturally gone like that. 

I have had my eye on one particular style lately and that is the ombre look, now i know over the past few years this has been very popular so I'm kind of late of the band wagon but like i said it takes me a while to choose a hair style that i like. 

     Here are some hairstyles i pinned on my 'Hair Hearts' board on pinterest

Like many people by biggest inspiration for hair (and in life ) is Zoella, i absolutely love her hair and have always wanted my had to be like hers! and i also love Lauren Conrad's hair as it always looks amazing no matter what colour or style it is.

A couple of years ago my hair was in a bob and since then i have tried growing it because i wanted my long locks back! and recently it hasn't been in the best condition so before i get anything some to it i want to get it in good condition! so any products or tricks you can recommend please enlighten me! 

I think i am going to treat myself maybe early december to a new look and I'm defiantly leaning toward the Zoella look! ill be sure to post any pictures if i do get it done!

Please let me know in the comment 

what you think of the ombre style
