Whats on my Beauty Shelf- Day Six and Day Seven

So sorry everyone! Last night i was doing work so i didn't get a chance to do a post, so as i missed last nights, i will be doing 'Whats on my Beauty Shelf'- Day Six and Day Seven'. So i'm going to review i am  And its the Body Shop tea tree range, because i suffer with bad skin and spots that leave scars, and in my opinion tea tree oil is the best treatment, for combination to oily skin. And this scrub really helps with my skin, because it cleans away oil the oil and dirt, without leaving your skin dry!

The range is affordable too, because i think that tea tree oil is so good, and i would definitely recommend this range of skincare, because it so good to use for skin that needs that extra bit of care, if you suffer with acne this is great! and will really help calm them down, and stop them from being so red.

So the first Tea Tree Body Shop product is the 'Squeaky-Clean Scrub' and this is amazing, it is so good for spots, and it really lathers up on your face, so it really makes you feel like your scrubbing away all the dirt and oil, however it isn't harsh on your face so it makes your face moisturizing and refreshed!
Product Rating: 10/10

The second Product which i'm going to talk about is the Tea Tree Oil 'Cool & Creamy Wash' and this works a perfect combination with the scrub, because it cools your face down, and very moisturizing, even if the scrub didn't do enough already then the wash is a complete winner! And of course it makes your skin so soft! And the next morning your skin is really good, and less inflamed!

Plans

So as i'm currently re-decorating my room, its a mess because all my make up and things are in boxes, so its hard for me to post, but i will be carrying on with 'whats on my beauty shelf' until day 14 i think! because i have that much products, and also i will be doing other posts, i have some things planned like my 'makeup routine' and maybe some photography posts, but your going to have to wait and see for that! <3

Whats on my beauty shelf? Day Five

Woop Woop! Time for another soap and glory review! As you can tell i'm slightly obsessed with this stuff, but i think its a lovely range of bath and shower products, and they would most definitely fit all skin types, because they are so nourishing! I would recommend this range of body-care to anyone, because it works wonders!

So i'm going to review the 'Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath' this bubble bath smells amazing, it has lemon balm and  mallow extracts in it, which sounds delicious anyway, but it also makes huge bubbles, which is what you always want in a bubble bath. Because i think that a bath is the perfect de-stress remedy, because it allows you to have some 'me-time' and especially if your going through exams and coursework this is definitely the magic trick! And like the other Soap and Glory products it has a built in body lotion so it saves you the time and effort of moisturizing your body!
This product is my favorite bubble bath, and i shall be repurchasing this forever, so if you are like me and constantly rushed with life, and always feeling stressed with exams, than get your hands on this!

Whats on my Beauty Shelf- Day Four

Of course you've guessed it, i'm going to be reviewing some more soap and glory products! (Also going to be day 5 as-well) but i just 100% rave about this product all the time! its has a such a beautiful built in moisturizer which is perfect if your someone like me, and doesn't have time to always moisturize your body! Sometimes i just want a quick fix and this is perfect!  i just lather some of these products in the shower or bath and your pretty much good to go!

The Product i am going to review today is the 'Rich & Foamous Body Wash' this stuff is so so amazing, because not only does it moisturize your skin, you can also use it as a dual purpose, so it makes big bubbles in the bath as-well! which i think is a bonus. The body wash has a Almond, Oats, and Brown sugar scent to it, so its quite creamy, and not refreshing, its more of a night time scent, because its more calming than say a citrus scent! The product comes a massive big bottle so it lasts forever! And i also like to shave my legs with this product as-well, because like i said its extremely moisturizing.

Make up Review- Studio Careblend MAC Pressed Powder

 This powder is such a beautiful powder i 100% love this powder so much! it is definitely my favorite powder of all time, i do also love the stay matte powder by Rimmel but this is my go to powder for everyday! This powder pairs up with the 'Rimmel wake me up' foundation really well, and i think these two products together makes a beautiful complexion to any face! it also has amazing coverage! The product itself is very light and workable, you can blend it with any brush and you still get an amazing result!


I got this powder as a present for Christmas and i haven't even touched pan yet, and i have been using it daily, so you if you are worried that its quite a lot of money to spending on a powder! (£20) than it is 100% worth your money! This product lasts for a very long time also, so usually when i wear this powder, i don't find myself having to re-apply, which is always good!


I use the shade: 'Light Plus' and i find this shade fits my skin-tone perfectly! This powder is also great for people who have an oily complexion because when you put it on, all the shininess disappears, and it doesn't add anymore oil to my face, or go uneven on my more oily areas, so overall a great product! and i will be repurchasing this again and again!
Powder rating: 10/10

Whats on my Beauty Shelf?- Day Two and Day Three

So today I'm going to review soap and glory products, I'm going to review two soap and glory products in fact. I'm a massive fan of soap and glory I think they're products are amazing! So I have decided to review the 'Daily Soothe- Bath Float' and 'The Righteous Butter' which are both amazing products which i highly rate, for anyone who wants to start off their beauty collection because these will pretty much get you started to venture into the world of moisturizing!

So the first product is the 'Daily Soothe- Bath Float' and this stuff is so lush, it has a really creamy formula so its perfect on the skin, it is also very thick so i makes really nice bubbles in the bath! So you just take a handful and run it under hot water to really get all the bubbles foaming up! However the only down side to this is that the smell of this isn't that nice when its not in the bath, when you swirl it in the bath it works wonders!
In this product there is Passion Flower and Slumber Juice. But overall this product is really lush! and i will definitely  be repurchasing this!
 As you can see it is in a big pot, so this lasts you pretty much all year! its a really nice treat, after a long hard day! And because its 'pre-bedtime' its super relaxing!
This shows you what the formula looks like, and as you can see the formula looks really creamy and it has a slight shimmer to it!
Product rating: 8/10

The Second product is the 'Righteous Butter' this stuff is my favorite moisturizer of all time! I use this on my face, and after a shower all over my body, i think this stuff is the best kind of moisturizer i have ever used. Because i have very oily skin anyway i find it hard to find a moisturizer that will not have any more oil on to my face, because that's the last thing i want! but this product doesn't do that what so ever! Its not heavy and it smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Also it pretty much sinks into your skin so there's time wasted until it dries! i will most definitely be repurchasing this product when it has all ran out!
The product comes in the same kind of size as the last soap and glory product, and it lasts forever! 
The product also has Shea Butter and Aloe Vera so its very softening on the skin, so if you have any rashes or skin problems this would be perfect because of the Aloe Vera it soothes any skin that needs that extra bit of care!

Mac Gel Eyeliner Review

So as you can tell i love my mac products, and one of my favorite mac products is there gel eyeliner! its such a beautiful eyeliner because its so easy to apply and its very long lasting and smudge-proof! Now i do understand that its a lot of money for just a eyeliner, and i do rate the maybelline gel eyeliner also but this is my favorite eyeliner to use of all time!
The eyeliner and brush come separately, so you have to buy them both to get the best effect! but i think its great way to start off your mac collection! With this eyeliner you can make a beautiful cat eye effect, because its so easy to apply with the brush!
This eyeliner is quite pricey but it is 100% worth the money, because has such a creamy formula that is so easy to work with!
Eyeliner Rating: 10/10

 As you can see hear iv done a cateye effect, because it is really easy to apply with the brush!
 Brush number: 210



Whats on my Beauty Shelf?- Day One

Hey, so iv decided that im going to do a new review everyday, from the products on my shelf so you get to know the products i like to use, which include skincare and bath and body products!

So first product im going to show you is called 'Loreal Paris- Elnett Satin- Heat Protect Styling Spray'. And this spray is such a great product, it is designed to protect your hair from any heat damage when styling, and it certainly does the job, because my hair is quite thin anyway i don't want it to weakened even more by heat, and this product defiantly prevents it from any further damage!
 The product also lasts for a very long time, i actually got this product as a present and i will definitely be re purchasing this, when it runs out! I don't really style my hair, but when i do this is a life saver, because it doesn't make my hair greasy either! which is really good because my hair is prone to greasiness anyway so i usually stay away from product but this i will keep on reusing!
This product is a must-have if you are worried about your hair having anymore damage from heat, or if your hair is thin like mine, and you just need something that will protect your ends than this product is perfect! Also it smells lovely which is a added bonus!

My MAC Lipstick Collection.

So although i only own four MAC lipsticks, i take very good care of them, and take pride in owning them, even though its a very little amount (that will be still growing). I love MAC lipsticks i think have a good formula of lipsticks and they are very nourishing and always keep my lips soft, also the color is long lasting as-well, MAC have some beautiful colors and i cant wait to find more more to love!

So the First MAC lipstick is called 'Faúx' and its a satin formula, this color is a beautiful pink nude, and its perfect if you just want a subtle look! This lipstick has a very good creamy formula, however its quite matte on the lips, so if you prefer lipstick with a glossy finish then this wouldn't be the formula of lipstick you would go for.
Lipstick Rating: 9/10





The Second Lipstick i own is called 'Chatter-Box' and its an amplified formula, this lipstick is more for a summer because its a bright pink, so it would be perfect for a summers day, or a night out. You could wear this lipstick day to day, but i prefer a neutral shade for in the day! This Lipstick has the same kind of formula has the satin formula, because its not as glossy. But its a beautiful shade none the less. 
Lipstick Rating: 9/10




The third Lipstick is called 'impressive' and this is a different formula of lipstick which is called Sheen Supreme lipstick, and i think these are my favorite formula of lipstick because they are more moisturizing and nourishing than the 'satin' and 'amplified' formula, also they are in a different packaging which i love, the quality of the lipstick are all equally amazing, but i think that the 'sheen supreme' lipsticks, give a more glossy affect. 
Lipstick Rating: 10/10




And the final lipstick is called 'Blossom Culture' and this is a sheen supreme formula also and this is a pretty pink, and i think the name and color of this lipstick is beautiful! The formula is moisturizing and nourishing just the same as the 'impressive'.
Lipstick Rating: 10/10

(sorry my memory card crashed so i could upload the swatch of this lipstick)

HairCare Review- 'TRESemme 24 hour body- root boosting spray'

Me and friend were then looking at the haircare section, because she was saying how she wanted more volume in her hair, so we were looking around at all the sprays, then we noticed on the TRESemme stand, and then spotted 'TRESemme 24 hour body- root boosting spray', and i adore this product, i soon as a sprayed it on my friends hair i knew it would be really good for making the hair more volumized! Aslo the smell of the product is really really lush! To make the hair volumized i sprayed it the roots and worked it in with a backcoming comb, and i think it looked really nice! The product gives a really good finish, because it works by giving the roots more volumized, and then when you work the ends with it aswell, it really gives it a tousled look!
Here where you can buy the product:  http://www.boots.com/en/TRESemme-24-Hour-Body-Root-Boosting-Spray-250ml_949831/
As you can see my friend had quite long hair, so anything that doesn't weight your hair down is perfect! You can also see that on the ends they look tousled and messy, and then i decided to add her a pony tail in the top of her hair, and i also worked the spray into the pony tail to give an extra added touch! 
Root spray rating: 9/10


Make up Reviews- Maybelline New York 'Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner'

Me and my friend decided to look over at the eyeliner stand, now im normally wear Mac Gel Eyeliner (which ill do a blog post on anyway) and a brown eyeliner on my waterline, but im also love checking out the highstreet liquid eyeliners, and then we spotted 'Maybelline new york- Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner' and it looked promising! It certainly lived up to its name! The eyeliner itself it a brush like applicator, so you get a precise shape with the easy applicator, you can also make beautiful cat eye effect. Its smudgeproof! and long lasting! The eyeliner takes no time at all to dry, so overall a very good eyeliner, on a budget!
Where you can purchase the eyeliner: http://www.superdrug.com/maybelline/maybelline-eye-studio-master-precise-liner-black/invt/355050&bklist=

A beautiful view, on a beautiful day.

'Fat' or 'Skinny' why does it matter?

Pretty much most teenage girls look up to the concept of being 'skinny' with their collar bones being visible, or having a 'thigh gap', i mean is this what society has done? making beautiful girls feel like they need to change because society told them too, because of judgmental people, or stereotypes. People who are 'skinny' or in other words slim, often don't think its that great, i mean i believe everyone is beautiful no matter the size, but people who are 'skinny' could be suffering with anorexia , or bulimia , or any other illness, and the same to people who are considered 'fat' , they could be struggling with illness to, and i think its wrong how so many people get judge purely on their appearance. The world in which we live in now, it is filled with people who take a disliking to peoples appearances, and that will never change, but the people who are causing the negativity don't realize , is that the person who is 'skinny' or 'fat', one word like that can turn their world upside down. It can make them feel so low and upset, and that one little word can stay in their minds for a long time, and it will never wash off. So what im trying to say is that everyone is beautiful, and you should never feel pressured into changing by anyone, unless you are unhappy. But keep smiling because life is to beautiful not too.

Sunsets and Reflection

I love to reflect with my self, because life can be so rushed and busy its almost like a blur sometimes, people become close to you and then disappear, people change and you change, which honestly terrifies me. Life can change in so many ways, and you don't see it day to day, but so many things could change and it would so fast, like blinking. You can be so rushed with life, that you don't consider the beauty of the smallest things, like sunsets, they are simple, yet so beautiful. The idea of sitting on hill, in the summer, watching the sunset makes me all warm inside. Its likes natures way of giving you permission to reflect and watch its beauty, because everyone needs to reflect, otherwise where would all your thoughts go? There are so many different colors to a sunset, and with life there is so many different things that can happen.




Liz Earle- Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser Review

I recently got this as a present for Christmas, and I can honestly say it is the best cleanser I have ever used.  As I am beauty obsessed  I am always looking out for  new skincare products and this caught my eye instantly because it is so beneficial for the skin, and smells amazing because the product is made from naturally active ingredients which include Rosemary, Chamomile, Cocoa Butter and Eucalyptus Essential Oil. So if anyone has trouble with skin and worries about this product causing irritation, then this product has a guarantee that it wont cause any irritation towards the skin, because the formulation works on every age and skin type. Also  for an added bonus it also does an amazing  job.  I know so many people swear by this product and now I completely understand why, because its so amazing that I wouldn’t ever go back to a normal cleanser.  The Liz Earle website also tells you what skin type you are and what products you need to use for your skin tone. I’ve had problems with my skin and this product has honestly helped, Liz Earle also do a fantastic range, so this product and many other Liz Earle products would suit anybody, who is looking for a pick me up for their skin.   This rich creamy product removes any traces of makeup and even stubborn mascara, because of it concentrated formula with a gentle cleansing power.  The retail price of this cleanser is £14.75 for 100ml bottle, and it is without a doubt worth the money. So if you are thinking that this product is pricey, they i can 100% say its worth it.
