Skincare Update

Bioderma 

Anyway, a few weeks ago my mum went to Paris and brought me back some Bioderma! If you don't know what Bioderma is, it's just a super gentle makeup remover which looks and feels just like water! I think it's about €10 for 250ml in Paris but you can also buy it on amazon if Paris is a bit of a trek for a makeup remover. I've been really loving it because it's so gentle and takes of every trace of makeup, even waterproof mascara which is pretty cool. I also love how quick it is, just soak a cotton wool pad in it, swipe it over your face, holding it over the eye area for around 10 seconds, and you're good to go! I'm pretty sure it's planned to be brought to the UK soon, if not already so keep your eyes peeled for it in places like Boots or other pharmacies but I definitely suggest trying to get hold of it if you can!

Makeup Review

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

So as you may know, my birthday was pretty recently and a couple of my most amazing friends, Jocelyn (thatssojocelyn on YouTube) and Heather, bought me the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette which I had always wanted but had never really thought about buying it because it's pretty pricey.

The tiny palette includes 6 neutral shades; Venus- a very shimmery, pearly, off-white colour, Foxy- a very pale yellow, Walk of Shame (W.O.S)- a nude beige, Naked 2- a warm taupey shade, Faint- a medium, quite warm brown and Crave- a super pigmented matte black.

All of the colours are very pigmented, very soft and super blendable. I like to wear these shadows on a day-to-day basis with Venus in my inner corner, W.O.S or sometimes Foxy over the lid, Naked 2 through the crease and Faint in blended into my outer corner. It's also nice to intensify the look a bit by taking Crave across the upper or lower lash line.

I really really like this palette and I think it includes the perfect shades to create a pretty, neutral eye. I just want to thank Jocelyn and Heather again and you should definitely check out Jocelyn's videos, I have linked her channel above.

Latest Purchases

Soap & Glory

So at the moment at Boots, Soap & Glory are doing a 3 for 2 on pretty much all their products so I thought this would be a good chance to sort of help to 'build up my collection' as I really like Soap & Glory because everything smells so good, but it is pretty pricey.. But yeah, I ended up buying the 'Sugar Crush' body wash and body scrub and the 'Girligo' moisturising body mist.

'Sugar Crush' Body Wash

I love this body wash. First of all, the bottle is HUGE! It's £6.50 for 500ml of the body wash so you're definitely getting loads for your money! So the scent is amazing. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be lime or something but I think it smells quite like cola bottles or sweets or something but its very fresh. It's also so good because when you put it on it lathers up so nicely but it also feels really really moisturising and it's like, the perfect balance!

 

'Sugar Crush' Body Scrub

This scrub smells exactly the same as the wash so yeah, glorious. It's a really gentle scrub actually which I quite like because I'm used to rougher scrubs, like 'Buffy' which I reviewed here, and it's also really moisturising. I think it's mainly sugar based which you can probably gather from the name but I thinks it has little fruit seeds or something in it too which adds to the sort of fresh feel.

 

'Girligo' Moisturising Body Mist

This stuff is so cool! I went in just looking for a body spray but I came across this which is like body spray meets moisturiser. It's super light which I like because you can just spray it straight onto your skin, rub it in and you're ready to go! It also has a really pretty, girly, typical Soap & Glory scent to it which lingers on your skin for hours while keeping it really hydrated.
 

 

So, pretty positive review on all of these products because I love them all! Soap & Glory never fails to impress!

No Posts!

I'm Sorry!

So it's been a while... Almost 2 months actually! I gave up on blogging as I found it too time consuming and a bit pointless because my blog was hardly read but whenever someone commented something nice on my posts, it encouraged me to write more. So that's what I'm going to do, start blogging again! It has recently been my birthday and I was fortunate enough to recieve lots of amazing gifts a lot of which I will try to review for you on this! Anyway, I hope to have some posts up over the summer and remember to let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to see!

Sorry for the bad picture quality, they were just taken with my iPad, haha! But yeah, just a brief idea of some posts you might expect in hopefully the near future
