Current beauty favourites...


Whats to say that winter has to feel cold and christmassy...you can always continue to have life the sunny side up :) So here are the beauty related things I am currently enjoying!

Bumble & Bumble prep - Essentially a style prepping spray or for you curly girlies a tousling beach wave mist. I didn't quite enjoy the scent of this at first (kind of zingy like toothpaste) but it grew on me on those mornings where it felt fresh and revitalising in my hair. Worth the splurge!

Eco brush - Lovely, simple wooden hair brush with wooden spikes too...does the job for my tangles.

M&S mango moisturising lip balm - This is a nice alternative to vaseline and smells delicious, stains a little peachy so not the best under lipsticks. Additionally a nice hefty tub worth carrying around.

Burts bees tinted lip balm in pink blossom - This is by far the best lip product I have tried all winter, all thanks to a special special girl (Shirley) who got it for me! Its the best mix of a lip salve and a lip tint/stain, perfectly neutral and basically genius.

Benefit cha cha tint - As usual benefit never fails to make nice things, cha cha tint is a fluorescent peachy lip and cheek tint. Perfect for that youthful glow and dewyness.

L'occitaine peony lip and cheek tinted water - I've had this for so long and have repurchased twice because it feels amazing on...smooth, light and looks good with almost all makeup looks. It adds a feminine touch on your cheeks especially and smells like freshly cut roses do! Fab!

Boots extracts coconut body lotion - The least greasy feeling coconut lotion I have tried, quick application and smells gently of coconut.




A tad too late for the ombre trend ?!



Hey everyone ! Its been a while but here it is...ombre me...thanks to the lovely people at AVEDA! I also purchased a suitable toning conditioner by Aveda which I shall be hauling and reviewing soon. Look out for that and have an awesome day xxx
