The Best Hand Cream?!

Hey lovelies,

I have possibly found my favourite hand cream. I've tried so many different hand creams from Nivea, The Body Shop, Aveeno and No7 and they I came across this beauty which is by far my favourite out of all the others i've tried. It is the infamous Hand Food by Soap and Glory.

It feels so luxurious and silky on the skin and doesn't at all feel greasy. Its super moisturising and the best thing about it is after I've applied it my hands feel so soft and smooth. The smell is beautiful, it smells to me like marshmallows. The scent  really lingers on to you hands too, which is always a bonus. Who doesn't want lovely smelling hands? It doesn't have a odd scent like some hand creams do '' Body Shop Hemp Hand Cream - I'm looking at you!'', but the Soap and Glory one smells lovely...I could smell it all day!

It contains lots of different beneficial ingredients like, Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil. It's quite rich but it sinks into the skin really quickly. I also love how its in a squeezy tube, so you can really control how much product you squeeze out and no product is wasted.

Hand Food is great to chuck in your bag, to keep you're hands hydrated and moisturised throughout the day.
Hand Food comes in two sizes, I have the 125ml but it also comes in a mini version which has 50ml. I love how they have to sizes as the 50ml is much more travel friendly.

Soap and Glory is available to buy in Boots and it's also available to buy in Sephora if you're not from the UK.

50ml Tube retails for £2.50 [LINK]
125ml Tube retails for £5 [LINK]

Wishlist! #1

Hey lovelies,

I'm sitting here catching up on 2 broke girls(does anyone else watch it?) I find it hilarious! Well I was until I realised that i am wanting/craving so many products at the moment so why don't I do a wishlist? So here i am doing one! Woop woop to my first wishlist (anything seriously excites me..haha!)

1) River Island Tassel Front Messenger Bag: £25, 2) New Look Animal Print Bandeau Maxi Dress: £24.99, 3) Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Cream in Rose Gold: £17, 4) Essie Nail Polish in Coral Reef: £7.99 5) Zara Printed Shirt With Studded Collar: £29.99 6) Toms Espadrilles: £32

I'm hoping to pick up the River Island bag today, because this is top of my wishlist and for £25 I think that is really good considering I spent £25 on a bag in new look almost identical but without the tassels and it lasted me 3 months and then it just completely broke apart..literally! I do not recommend New Look Messenger Bags as I think they're awful quality and break so quickly! As much as i love New Look and there other bags I think the cross-body bags are a stay away!  I still need to jump on the essie band-wagon(yes I said it.. band-wagon! oh dear Huma!!) When i'm next in Boots i'll definitely pick up a essie polish!  

What is on your wishlist?

FREE BENEFIT MAKE UP!

Hey lovelies,

If your from the UK then I hope you've enjoyed the 4 day weekend, thanks to the jubilee!

In July's Issue of Glamour Magazine they have once again teamed up with Benefit and are offering free deluxe samples of three of there products! I have been so exited to get my hands on Glamour. Last year Benefit offered 3 products which were: Posie Tint, Benetint and High Beam Highlighter but this month they're offering: Badgal Mascara, Porefessional Primer and That 'Gal' Primer.

I managed to pick up BADgal Mascara and Porefessional Primer, I seriously can't find That Gal Primer anywhere, and i know that other bloggers and youtubers have had trouble finding it but i haven't given up and i shall find it.........eventually haha!


Each Glamour Magazine retails for £2 and the products are worth £10-£15...bargain!

The samples are so cute and you defiantly can give each product a good try. I am yet to use both products but i honestly can't wait (i'm so sad..haha)

Did you manage to get your hands on Glamour? Which products did you pick up?

Review: Buyapowa!

I just quickly wanted to say i'm so sorry i haven't blogged in AGES! i've had 3 exams and all my free time i've been putting towards revision. I still have 3 exams left and then i promise i'll be dedicated to blogging because i love blogging so much!

Enough of the chit chat..today i'm going to be reviewing a website which i've FALLEN in love with and that is buyapowa.


What is Buyapowa?
If you are unaware of buyapowa, its a website which offers co-buys for 48 hours(i believe) and they have a certain quantity of a specific product. The best bit is that the price is cheaper than the RRP price, the products are fantastic and they've previously had products like the clarsonic mia, orgins products, benefit products, mac products and so many other great products (i think i've said products in this paragraph around 50x!)


Right now they have great products like:

Benefit They're Real Mascara for only £13.50 and the RRP price is: £18.50!

[LINK]

NARS Deep Throat Blush - Buyapowa price: £16 RRP price: £21

[LINK]

Benefit Hervana Face Powder - Buyapowa price: £17.50 RRP price: £23.50!

[LINK]

Benefit Porefessional Face Primer - Buyapowa Price: £17.50 RRP price: £23.50

[LINK]

Purchasing From Buyapowa:

The concept of Buyapowa is absolutely brilliant, everyone loves bargain! I've purchased from Buyapowa before, if you see my haul i ordered the Naked 2 Palette from there and i saved myself £8 which i feel is amazing! 

Delivery:

The only issue with buyapowa is the delivery, however it isn't buyapowa's fault, my Naked 2 Palette took 2 weeks to arrive but i contacted buyapowa and they told me it was the suppliers end and did apologies, which they didn't have to do because it wasn't there fault. They replied within a day which i feel is brilliant!

Would I Recommend Buyapowa?

I 100% couldn't recommend buyapowa more, its a great website and i love browsing through it when theres new co-buys! I feel like i'm on there website at least once a day! Its a great website and i defiantly recommend checking it out!

My Top 5 Blushes For Spring/Summer!

Hello lovelies!

Today i'm going to show you my top 5 blushes for spring/summer, price ranging from £18.50 - £1!

  Left to Right: MAC Feeling Flush, Sleek Suede, Sleek Rose Gold, Topshop Powder Blush - Pop and MUA Blush in shade 5!

 Left to Right: MAC Feeling Flush, Sleek Suede, Sleek Rose Gold, Topshop Powder Blush - Pop and MUA shade 5!

 MAC Feeling Flush: a gorgeous gorgeous purple/pinky blush, i like swirling my brush around in this and applying it to the apples of my cheeks, i swirled my finger in the blush to get the colour swatched on my hand. You can also use the colours individually with a small brush! It has has a very small amount of shimmer compared to other MAC MSF blushes! This came out in the semi-precious collection last summer (if i remember right..this is when google comes handy) yes, the semi-precious collection. It was released July last year but i'm sure there must be similar shades in their permanent line! I hate using this, only because i'm too scared it will ever ran out and i love it too much!

[LINK]..i managed to find it for £20!

 Sleek Suede, this is part of the sleek nude collection which is a permanent line. Its appears more brown in the pan but when applied on the apples of your cheeks, its a gorgeous peachy colour, which looks gorgeous in the summer and really compliments a tan! This are so affordable and its so pigmented, a little goes a long way! You can apply this blush as less or as much as you like, using a stippling brush you can really control how much you apply to your cheeks! 

[ LINK]

Sleek Rose Gold: I cannot describe how much i love this blush, in my opinion it compliments any skin tone and with this it works as a highlighter and a blush. Its a pinky/peach with gold shimmer, lots of people have compared it to Nars Orgasm and in comparison pictures and videos the only differences is that this is more pigmented..which is a plus! The only downside is about this blush, it was an absolute pain to find, whenever i went into my local superdrug it was always out of stock but if you ever see this please pick one up and i assure you, you'll love it as much as i do. Stay away if you don't like shimmer!

[LINK]

 Topshop Powder Blush - Pop: i've heard lots of people rave about the cream blushes(which are also lovely) but never heard anyone rave about the powder blushes, which in my opinion are just as good as the cream blushes. This ones in Pop and its a gorgeous pink, its a type of pink which i can't put a name down to what type of pink this is, but if your ever in topshop please please swatch it because its so lovely and lasts all day on me!

[LINK]

 MUA Blush - Shade 5: Last but defiantly not least, this is a gorgeous shade, i know the swatch isn't very clear (i'm sorry!) this is £1 available from superdrug..yes ONE POUND! its an absolute bargain! Its such a gorgeous colour, i use this on-top of Topshops Blush in Pop and oh my gosh, its so lovely, it really gives your cheeks a rosy effect, these 2 blushes topped together have now become my go-to blush combination. Its has a small amount of gold shimmer, its a bit similar to Sleek - Rose Gold, but that has more obvious gold shimmer and its more pink! But this is so gorgeous and for one pound you really cannot go wrong!

HAUL: Barbour and...URBAN DECAY NAKED 2 PALETTE!

Hello lovelies!

I'm so sorry i haven't posted in ages, over the past months i've had a science and maths exam so i've been putting any free time i had towards revision!


Today i have a haul for you all!

After months of looking in different john lewis's to find this colour, i finally found it online! I brought this in the kids section in 12/13 its a perfect fit, i'd say i'm a size 6/8 and 5'4 tall, the plus side of getting it in the childrens section is that its £20 cheaper, instead of being £80 i managed to bag it for £60!

 What you basically pay for is the Barbour label!

 I absolutely love it, the collar is lovely, just how i wanted it!

This is available on the Barbour website [LINK]

oops, after convincing myself i couldn't justify spending £36 on this beauty, however when it came on buyapowa for £28.50 inc.postage i couldn't say no..it would have been a crime to let this beauty slip!

 This is available on the debenhams website [LINK]

I can't believe it didn't buy the urban decay palette for so long, the colours are so so beautiful and so wearable, you can get so many different looks from the palette! It also comes with a cute little lipgloss in the colour naked!


If you'd like to see a review i'll do one for you all, even though there lots of reviews out there!
I'll also try and feature the barbour jacket in a ootd!


There barbour jacket was brought by my lovely brother for my previous birthday but because i haven't been able to find this olive colour for so long thats why I've received it almost 3 months late..haha! The urban decay palette was brought by myself, after months of saving!



Thats all for now, thank you for reading!
