Review - SKIN79 BB cream

This is the first BB cream I have tried and although is not my exact skin tone it still suits me as a tinted moisturiser. There is a pump dispenser mechanism which is always a plus on any foundations etc. You get 40g of product which is a lot and I only use a small amount for my entire face. I have the pink one but I believe the gold one is for dry skin perhaps. I do have dry skin but I usually sort that out with my moisturiser before I apply this over. It has a slight scent but will disappear after a while. Smells a little floral thats all. Very difficult to find but try amazon or ebay etc but make sure the seller is authentic.

Review - NEW Bodyshop rainforest moisture hair butter

This hair butter is part of bodyshops new hair range called Rainforest and it is a deep conditioning treatment for damaged hair. It can be washed out after use but I like to use it as a finishing product, so when i am done styling my hair i add this to the ends to keep it smooth. The smell is my favourite part of this, its like a tropical paradise! Its quite creamy so a little goes a long way. I use this only when i have my hair naturally wavy because if I used it on straight hair it might weigh it down, I gotta save the volume lol. Anyways I lovee this!

DIY hair styling - Sea salt tousling spray

Having looked around quite a bit in the market for sea salt sprays there don't seem to be that many available, some which I have tried have been good but if you would like an easy solution then here is a cute recipe :) Sea salt spray is used to give texture and create slight waves in your hair to give that beachy vibe. I like to use a hair crimper then spray this in to add to the style. Its really simple because you can use any brands of products you already own...

You need - Boiling hot water, sea salt, leave in conditioner and rosewater as an optional bonus.
I have used avon leave in conditioner because I just love the smell of it so much! All you have to do is dissolve the salt in the water then add as much of the rosewater and conditioner as you like and you are done. Just pour into a spray bottle and its ready to use on your hair. Enjoy :)

An interesting way to sanitize your airbrush - saline contact lens solution

I recently read on a blog that after cleaning your airbrush many people also would like to sanitize it, especially if you have been using the airbrush for cosmetic purposes. So you will still have to use whatever airbrush cleaning solution you use initially to get the make up out of the airbrush and then you can sanitize with the contact lens solution. This is basically to get rid of any excess product, dirt or bacteria etc. Hygiene for the next use is essential. I thought this was a pretty cool idea and a cheaper alternative too! I bought the AMO lens plus ocupure contact lens solution from my local pharmacy for £3.22, so look out for it or even a supermarket might sell it.

Review - Hairbrush by ROOTS

For a long time now I have not really used a brush I always tend to use combs because it keeps the shape of my curls and detangles but this is a really nice brush even if you have frizzy curly hair. The bristles are semi natural and semi synthetic so you get the best of both worlds I suppose :) The way I love to use it is when I have done my hairstyle I will lightly brush at the parts that need volume and smoothness and this brush gives the perfect effect since the bristles r far apart. The bristles are those similar to a teasing comb so I have also used it to create a messy ponytail or bun....works a charm.

My current skincare routine...(warning this probably changes weekly lol)

Most girls and guys struggle with skincare and some more than others, I suppose the best you can do is find a routine that works best for you and stick to it! Having said that here is mine and hope you get some ideas from it or try some of this stuff out because it works most days for me :) And a note I have quite dry skin with occasional breakouts. 

Step 1 (If I am wearing makeup) - make up remover - MAC cleanse of oil - £16 MAC 

Step 2 - Face wash - Clinique facial soap bar in extra mild - £13.50 selfridges 

Step 3 - Toner - Fudco rosewater - £8 Ebay 

Step 4 - Moisturiser - Oilatum natural repair - £9 - Boots 

Step 5 - Acne treatment - fair and lovely anti spot pen 

I usually constantly try out new products but this is what I return to if I need it currently.

New skincare products to try....

I decided to try out some new skincare items all from different brands as my old routine was pretty boring and repetitive, most of these items can be found online pretty easily.

- Eye makeup remover pads
- Neutrogena acne control face wash
