Facial Mask Review

Now, we've all been on amazon looking for something specific, only to be wooed by the "People who viewed this also viewed" part of looking at items.
This was most defiantly an Impulse buy of the moment for something that i can't for the life of me remember, one thing lead to another and i ended up buying a Lavender and tea tree facial clarifying face mask!

Its by Cyclax nature pure, it claims to:
                                                              Re-balance excess oil, i need help in that department!
                                                              De-toxifies and clarifies, oh heavens yes!
                                                              Cleans and freshens, well why wouldn't it?!

I tried this out a few times and it has made it into my routine skin cleaning/clearing routine!
It claims to help balance the oils out in your face that lead to black heads, white heads and spots which is something you'd want a face mask to do. It also claims to reduce shine to your face, which is always a plus too! Especially on a good skin day where you don't want to leave the house and have the sun gleeming off your face.
It also says to use it twice a week, well i try to but sometimes i just like to jump straight into the shower and get on with the cleaning process. I think i have to be more strict with this and actually use it twice or even once a week...again depending on a good skin week!

This is what it looked like on and i have to say it smelt amazing! Not so strong in the lavender department but then again you don't want to be blasted back by an intense smell when its suppose to help you relax. It felt really smooth and not too thick or oily and spread around really well!
I do admit i have some patches where i could of applied more but then again its just general prefferance!

Sorry for potato quality too! Phones aren't that good to take pictures on.
But none the less!!

I really like this product and i think this will most certainly be a rebuy and continue to be a perminant part of my skin care routine!

Stop and Breathe!

Stop & Breathe!

I've heard this phrase a lot.....a lot and thats just from me telling myself that!

 And unless you are willing to accept you aren't at fault and you aren't the wrong that phrase just seems unreal.

I was told this by a counsellor when I had to go to a session, truth be told...it wasn't the best session I've been to. I found more support and consolation from a network of friends. Who im so greatful for so much the fact I randomly text if im ever in one of my anxiety episodes.
Anxiety is not nice and everyone will go through it at some point in their life. It's not something to take lightly and there can be many reasons for it.
Mine is stress but under certain circumstances. 
I don't mean like "oh im stressing out because I don't know if I like this yogurt or not" or "im stressed because I can't choose a hair colour".
Now I'm not really inclined to talk about my stresses and anxiety so much in detail but I do hope this has helped.

No matter what you go through if you feel like you need some help from a friend either if you just want them to sit there and listen, they will. Or take a walk and listen to your music to take your mind of things but I have to really say the most important is to talk to someone!!

Never feel like you are alone, remember you aren't the only one to feel this way either!

Nail polish remover pads!

Hello,
I have always always used just the liquid nail varnish remover myself and to be honest I hated the smell. It's so strong, but it gets the job done.

Ive seen on a few beauty blogs and even a friend at work, had some nail polish remover pads in their hand bag and said it was a must for those times your nail varnish chips and you need to reapply without those uneven surfaces that chipped nail varnish can create ( I am a repeat offender of this)!

Again, first I always just used a basic liquid nail vanish remover from a bottle...strong smell! --Poowee
And cotton pads or buds. I hate hate hate the feel on my nails if I rub these side to side over my nails....and I'm not weird! I know there are those are you out there who are exactly the same!

So again from this I decided to give these carry around pads myself!
I went to my trusty boots store and scoped out the competition.
Now my first choice was to look at price instead of brand but as always boots brand prevailed at £1.20!
There were two choices now I can't remember the first ill have to go back and have a look and see what it was but I went for a moisturising nail varnish remover as I can have quite briddle nails that need strengthening and moisture and general love :)

I chose to use these...for the very first time to remove barry m matte black nail varnish now I don't know if this made any difference because it was black pigment but it wad quite terrible.
Was just....bleh.
Again, ill have to update if I use it again on any different colours, maybe some lighter ones.
But it was really quite difficult to remove, left black on my fingers where I was rubbing the pad across.
I generally felt it dried my hands out too!

So next time I might pay a bit more for a different brand and see how that works.
Im a bit tight too in the fact that I will still use these boots pads! Until they are gone!!
But they will be reappearing in a "Empties review" when ive tried out several more nail varnishes and pigments to see what the difference is with those.

Karma-Karma Chamelion

Hello my lush lovlies!

Now, as you will read on through my blog, follow me, read through my upcoming posts you will see a distinctive pattern. You don't have to be a detective to figure it out either-

I LOVE LUSH!

Yes, there i said it! Each time i go to lush i shall write about my Lush haul right here for you all to see!

One of the products i will write about is the Karma Bubble Bar.
I love the bubble bars, but i love bath bombs better.
My other half likes bath bombs, but loves bubble bars.

Now when i was first introduced to lush i wasn't too keen, the shop had a really strong and powerful smell that you couldn't walk past without going "oh lush!", I didn't understand what everything was, it was soo confusing! Because even when someone told you what a certain type of bath bomb was, once i got home I'd forgotten! But i found a Lush Bible! As I'm going to call it that now,...my lush bible. I have explained in a separate post what my lush bible is.

Let me introduce you to (Potato image quality) The karma Bubble bar!
It looks amazing! It has dark orange and slight mustard colours to it both intertwided, like what you would see on a cake.
It also has really small shimmer glitter bits inside it, only really small.
Karma fits in the palm of your hand so it's not overly big but not really really small for the price.

The description in my Lush bible says "Karma - An orange haze of heady sents, Patchouli and sweet orange bubbles for good Karma in the bathroom"
With all bubble bars what you do is you run your bath and whilst its still filling up crush some of the Bubble bar into the bath and give it a good swirl. Usually the bath changes colour and starts to fill with luscious bubbles. The more of the bar you put in, the more colour and bubbles!
In the lush shop they usually can give a demo on how to use them to let you see what the different kinds of bars smell like, look like and in general...do!

Now this was my bath whilst it was filling up. With the Karma i was actually disappointed in the way that my bath water didn't change colour at all! It did become bubbley in fact and smelt really citrus-ey tangy and it was a pretty relaxing bath.


So, I'd give the 'Karma Bubble Bar'- a 4 Stars! ****


I was bought this as a Christmas presents and i don't want to be rude and look up the price but you can pop over to the lush store to find out and look at all the other awesome products!.

Yankee candles!

I love, love, love candles.
I need a fire extinguisher I have so many candles its crazy!

My favourite candle is the one and only Yankee Candle Brand!
I haven't found a brand more cute, long lasting,  amazing smelling, quirky named candles in all my 21 years of living.

I've had about 5 candles from yankee candle so far I had a french vanilla ( my first one) smelt so creamy and lucious!
I then decided to get a bit fruity and go with a fruit cocktail which was a green one with mangos and such, then one that was quite citrus and zesty , I should really remember the names.
Then I got a lemon lavinder that smelt devine!
Aaaand best for last...... amazing Christmas present in spiced orange! My room fills with the smell of this! It's just so festive! I always like spice around christmas!

The spiced orange one is the only one in the very large £16.99 glasses and I hope that after many months of burning it I'm going to keep the glass and put it to some sort of use! Some diy adventure ill have to go onto! :)

All of the rest have kind of been a medium sized glasses for about £8.99 and they smell good but the smell doesn't fill the room as strongly as the big orange one, which to be fair sounds about right because it is ment to be a strong powerful smell.

I also love the little lamp top bits you can get for them that make them look like candle lamps! (Duuhh)
And the range you can get them in is just stunning!  I love the glass mosaic style ones, I have the cream and the black one in that and then I have a multi coloured sort of rainbow one.

But for me I think that yankee candle is just. ..the best?! They last for ages! They smell just phwoor! :)

Pictures will be updated!

Winter Blues

We all get that lovely, warm, happy feeling when it's a awesome sunny day?
But we also get that down, depressed, cold, grumpy feeling when it rains? No?
Well! It's winter here in England and we have no snow!
To me it really doesn't feel like Christmas or even New Year without snow!
We had snow 2011, 2012 & 2013 but 2014?? No snow!

It really is quite dull outside without snow in winter. Snow just makes everything more prettier and shimmers and sparkles, don't you think?

Snow reminds me of hot chocolate,  cuddling up in throws and thick soft blankets with the heating on.
Having candles strewn around you when its dark to light up your room or maybe even the roaring fire?
watching netflix or any other kind of film of course! (Downton abbey!) :)

What does snow and winter remind you of doing, lovelies? ♥ x
