Chocolate Face Mask

Last night I was in need of some TLC and so I decided to have a nice relaxing bath with some lavender bubble bath to help me sleep and then I applied a face mask too!

I always like to leave a couple in my bathroom cupboard so I have some when I need a pick me up :-) There are various different types that you can buy - peel off, wash off, clay, self heating the list goes on. Its also important to choose the correct mask that is suitable for your skin type and will help to nourish your skin!

So last night I applied the Superdrug own brand Self Heating Chocolate & Orange Face Mask. It smells amazing of chocolate as the name suggests although I could smell little of the orange. I find it really cool as well as comforting how the mask heats up when it is applied to your face. The only problem with these types of face masks is that they are wash off and as they are thick and creamy it can be a pain and take a while.

After applying the mask, I washed it off and my skin was smooth and soft. I finished off my mini pamper session by applying the Neutrogena moisturiser that I am testing out this week.

Sorry!

Hey everyone!

I know I haven't made many blog posts recently...I do like to try and do something every day, but at the moment I have my mock GCSE exams and so I am really busy!

I have lots of ideas and inspiration for my blog and I hope that you continue to read my blog as there will be lots more to come from me!

There are lots of photos loaded on to my laptop so everything is ready to go - I just need to find the time during the hundreds of exams! 

In a few weeks time everything will be back to normal and then I can get back to posting every single day :-)

Hope that everyone is alright with this!

Boots Haul!

So as Christmas is now over for another year :-( Boots have kindly reduced all of their Christmas Gift Sets across many brands including Soap & Glory, Sanctuary, Ted Baker and Natural Collection.

I popped into town today to gather items I need to return to school with as well as stock up on beauty essentials. Whilst I was there I browsed the on offer items as I have a few birthdays coming up and so looked for gift ideas...and maybe bought more than one item so I can keep one too!

The brand that had the best offer was 'Sanctuary'. All of their sets were half price - that meant that the huge gift box costing £40 is now only £20! Sadly for me I had to fight the urge not to buy it.

However, I did pick up two different sets - the Signature Fragrance Box Set which includes and Eau du Toilette, Body Wash and Body Lotion. The other set was the Weekend Indulgence Bag which included the Body Wash, Body Scrub, Body Lotion, Bath Soak and a Body Polisher/Buff and the bag is great to travel with and contain it all!

Hope this gave you some inspiration to head down to your local Boots store to check out the great New Year offers!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing night and it wasn't too messy! I had an amazing evening spent with dear friends which was lovely :-) 

Due to last nights festivities I have no photos of my outfit which are clear enough to see! However, I wore my American Apparel riding pants, a off white Topshop blouse and my oxblood booties. My makeup was very simple with a brown/gold smokey eye and curly hair.

If and when I have time, I may recreate my outfit, hair and makeup to take some pictures to show you all!

Finally I hope you all have an amazing 2013 (it feels so strange saying this!) and you and your families are happy and healthy! - Love you all <3

New Years Eve Nails!

This New Year I have decided to go for a dark indigo nail that practically looks black...I was going to add some bling in the form of Andrea Fulerton's nail diamonds but decided against it as I didn't want to distract from my outfit, makeup and jewellery.

I will show you my nail polish when I post the photos of my outfit :-)

If your not sure what to paint your nails then here are some of my suggestions:

Any type of glitter polish be it a Nails Inc 'Hammersmith' or Models Own 'Silver Fox'.

Other favourites include Magnetic Effects such as Nails Inc 'Trafalgar Square' (see my post on this!)

Finally you can't go wrong with a bold, statement, stand out colour that will compliment your outfit!

New Year Looks

New Year is the perfect time to try a new hair colour or cut as well as switching up your style. This could mean that you wear bright jeans or carry a bold statement bag. You might try swapping your regular grey/black smokey eye for a purple look.

What ever you decide to change may you have fun experimenting with it and I look forward to see the results! 

Don't forget to post your comments below about what you'll be doing
