My new love of cleansing balms

For years I've been a fan of gel cleansers as they made my skin feel cool, refreshed and clean. I hadn't really tried other formulations of cleansers until recently. Although I love micellar waters and cleansing oils to take off my makeup I hadn't found something that could take off my makeup (even waterproof mascara) and cleanse my skin thoroughly.

Top 10 Coral Lip Products - Highstreet / Drugstore and High-end

In summer I'm automatically drawn to pinky coral lip shades so I thought I'd give you my pick-of-the-bunch. Here are my top 10 picks split up into the more affordable highstreet/drugstore options and the luxurious high-end options. They're in no particular order, they're all lovely. I've included a mix of lipsticks, lip glosses, lip crayons, lip butters and lip liners so there's something for everyone and at all levels of prices!

Empties: Bodycare

Empties: Haircare and Makeup

I've had a little blogging break recently but am fully back with it so here is a long overdue haircare and makeup instalment of my recent empties/products I've used up collection!

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Shampoo and Conditioner
- I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned these products before in a blog post as I like to use them to keep my hair looking as blonde as possible especially after having it highlighted. But even on non-colour treated blondes these are two very lovely light moisturising shampoo and conditioners.
Would I repurchase? - Yes

L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Light Conditioning Shine Spray
- Long time readers of my blog will know this is my all time favourite leave in conditioning spray for shiny, smooth, glossy looking hair. It's great as a detangled too! I currently have two back up bottles of this ready to crack out! I never like to be without them!
Would I repurchase? - YES in bulk!

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Light 1 Chantilly
- Over the past one to two years this has been my favourite full coverage 'perfect makeup' concealer. I cannot really fault it, it's long lasting, blends in seamlessly and comes in a great variety of colours and actually does one light enough for me to be able to highlight with it!
Would I repurchase? - Yes

Original Beauty Blender
- For years I've bought knock-off, or cheaper versions of the beauty blender however after purchasing the original I really do understand the hype. They expand more when dampened meaning they blend your makeup better and they don't soak up much makeup at all meaning they don't waste it!
Would I repurchase? - Already have!

Empties: June 2016 : Skincare

Here is the latest instalment of my ''Empties'' or ''Products I've Used Up'' blog post series where I save up all the beauty bits I've finished and summarise my thoughts of them.

Disappointing products

I usually talk about products I like and love but I think it's equally important to talk about those that I've tried and not liked or haven't worked well for me. These are my opinions and you may love these products and they may work well for you and thats great! Anyway, here are my thoughts on 5 products that have recently disappointed me.

Glowing Greek Goddess Makeup

Last weekend was my university summer ball which is fancy dress and my housemates and I decided to go as Greek Goddesses, I really liked how my makeup turned out so glowy and fresh, just how I pictured it! I curled my hair in random sections, wore it half up half down and wore a white dress with lots of gold accessories.
