Marc Jacobs / Daisy Dream Purfume

This perfume doesn't need no introduction, Its such a beautiful glass bottle, mirrored lid and covered in 3D white daisies. The amount of perfumes I have I don't own a Marc Jacobs which is shocking I know, I'm happy to now own the Daisy Dream perfume. This is definitely one of the prettiest bottles I own, it looks so pretty in my collection and its smells heavenly too. I find scents hard to describe but the fragrance is very light and airy with a mixture of fruity floral scents, top notes of blackberry, fresh grapefruit and succulent pear, the heart impacts a rich, feminine jasmine, notes of lychee and blue wisteria. A dream drydown of white woods, musks and coconut water.

This is definitely my go to perfume, its so girly and fresh. I don't like smelling too over powerful in the day, so this is nice and sutlle, but with it being quite a light fragrance it doesn't last as long through out the day so I end up using more than I should. However its so lovely and fresh, Daisy Dream is my new favourite.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream 30ML - £32.99

The Body Shop All-In-One / Insta Blur Review

Ive only just discovered how good The Body shop make-up is, there was a 3 for 2 going on at the time which made me happy, I love primers, and I new I must definitely give this one ago, as yet again I see this everywhere around the blogging community lol.

Retails Description - 12h shine control, Reduces appearance on pores, blemish hiding, complexion Unifying, and makeup extending. Your all thinking does it really do all of them? It actually does apart from the redness and blemishes as i don't have them, 12hour shine control doesn't actually work for 12hours but I've found I haven't needed to powder as much which is a plus for me.

I use this under my foundation, I'm have combination skin so I look for anything thats going to keep some of the shine away and to hide my hideous large pores, the texture is quite solicone-y but that doesn't bother me once massaged over the skin it had a light powdery effect and it soaks into the skin nicely. I love how soft it made my skin. Ive used this for about a month and I've got plenty left, a little goes a long way.

Overall it made my foundation glide on and it spreaded around quickly so it didn't take me long to blend it all in, I love how it brightened up my complexion and the fact it minimised my pores so they weren't as noticeable as normal. I noticed when I did a 8 hour day at work by night time my makeup looked pretty decent still, woo! This is defeintly a thumbs up for me.

Whats your favourite product from The Body Shop?

No Clogs Allowed / Soap & Glory Review

I'm finally back to blogging and have a post up yaaay, it seems ages ago even thought it's been about 2 weeks, everything has been so crazy since being back from my holiday, anywaysss I thought id review the soap & Glory Super Self Heating Deep Pore Detox Mask No Clogs Allowed (that was a long word) I remember I put this is my boots haul and every one wanted to see my thoughts on this mask, so here it is, i also waited a couple of months to test it out and to see if it actually works....

Soap and glory no clogs allowed, is a self heating deep pore detox mask, this face mask helps prevent breakouts and blemishes by deep cleaning your pores and the addition of glycerin also helps the skin feel soft and supple. This is perfect for those combination/oily skins out there.

The application is very easy all you do is shake the product first, so it doesn't come out all gloopy, then massage it all over your face, then wet your hands, and then scrub it until it turns blue, that's when you feel the 'self heating' happening. This is my first ever self heating mask it felt weird when i first applied it, it was much warmer than I expected, but it isn't hot, it only warms up the first time when you start to apply and scrub. I normally wait 5 minutes and then take it off using a muslin cloth with warm water.

My thoughts on it - I love it, the blackheads on my nose are less visible, my face feels so fresh and bright and less dull, It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight like other masks have. Its a great mask to have in your collection when your having those pamper nights.

Its retails at £11.50 I'm sure it was only £10.00 when I got it, if you know you'll love it and will use it twice a week, definitely go out and buy it!!

Have you tried this mask before? Whats your thoughts?

Love Me Beauty Box / August Edition

I always enjoy opening up my love Me Beauty Box, You pick from 3 menus and each one is just a tiny bit different, I love that you can pick your own box and you know what your going to get, its just £10 plus p&p. Lets see what I picked up this month, I picked menu 3. 
Marsk - Mineral Eye Shadow ''Lucky Penny'' £14.49
This is 100% natural mineral based loose powder, from the cruelty free brand Marsk, This is an exciting one as I can't use eyeshadow on my eye lids as they make my eye lids dry and puffy, but seeing as this is 100% natural i'll defiantly be able to use this :D It's a coppery shade so perfect for autumn/winter, pigmentation is amazing.
A La Carte - Smudge - Proof Eyebrow Definer in Blonde £23
Ive never heard of this brand before, I thought the colour was going to be more suited for blondes but it seems quite brown so hopefully the shade will suit me,you can use it for brows, eyeliner or semi-permanent body art, I love a product you can use for more than one thing. 
Mirabella - Lip Luster Liner ''Shy'' £10.50
This is a super moisturing lip liner, which you can apply all over your lips before applying lipstick or lipgloss, I don't really wear lip liners, due to laziness, but now I have one I may start using it, the shade is gorgeous a lovely pinky nudey colour.
Oriflame - Swedish Spa Beauty Wonder Oil £8.45
I love products like this, a multi - purpose product, It can be used in the bath, body oil or hair oil, I'm mostly definitely looking forward to trying it on my hair before washes, I hope it'll make it feel super soft. It has a lovely ginger floral scent.
