New Skincare Regime

Last few weeks ive decided i needed to have a good skincare routine morning and night. I had alot of recommendations on LUSH products. So i wanted a good cleanser,toner,and moisturiser. And something to keep my acne abay.

As ive tried many things in the past for my skin and haven't had much success in them i decided to spend a little bit more on the products to see if it made any difference to my skin. As i suffer from combination skin dry/oily. 





This is the 9 to 5 cleanser available in 95g (£5.10) or 240g (£9.95). This one below is the 240g. The smell of this cleanser is amazing and fresh, makes your skin feel clean and fresh. Contains almond oil, dove orchid cleansng milk. Removes all dirt and make up also brightens the skin. I will certainly be purchasing this again after using this one. highly recommend it.



This is the tea tree toner water available in 100g (£4.50) or 250g (£8.50). This one is the 250g.
It has a fresh minty smell to it great for spot prone skin. Its a antibacterial,anti fungal and antimicrobial so keeps the bacteria away which causes spots. Helps to remove make up and to keep your skin refreshed. Can be used anytime of the day. Ingrediants are grapefruit, juniperberry.



This is grease lightning in 45g (£6.50). Catches any breakouts without upsetting the skin. Soothes redness. To be applied on when a spot is about to erupt. Im prone for spots around my chin and this has really helps clear them up and reduce redness round that area i use this every morning and every night to prevent them getting any worst.




MUA's New Velvet Lip Lacquers

About a week ago MUA announced 4 new velvet lip lacquers and 1 that was discontinued last year that it was so popular they revamped it and brought it back again.

So after seeing this on there instagram and them showing swatches of the colours i fell in love with them all. I searched on Superdrugs website but at the time 3 out of the 5 was out of stock :(. So managed to pick them up in my local large Superdrug in Cribbs Causeway Bristol. 

 The velvet lip lacquers apply like a gloss then drys like a lipstick in a matte effect. Great for perfect precise application. There highly pigmented and wont smudge while eating or drinking. Apply evenly on the lips in one direction apply one coat at a time for it to set and give a flawess finish.

My Very First Urban Decay Product

So i had to review on this beauty today because its my very first but wont be my last product from Urban Decay. 

Managed to get my hands on the Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette by urban decay, purchased this at the Debenhams in Bath few weeks ago.

Ive never been keen on buying products on a concession before as i have had so much bad customer service in my time it really put me off, but knowing that you really want to buy something you just got to try.

The girl on the counter was so nice had a great conversation about all the products and her make up as it was stunning! Advised me on diffrent palettes and what palette her favourite was. Really enjoyed my time there so if anyone heads to bath go to the debenhams there! 

Price is £40 

15 eye-shadows from nudes to browns then a few darker shades. Its great that they have a tester on show so you know what its like before you buy it, as they are quite pricey. But the packaging is so worth the money!


As you can see the packaging is gorgeous its gold with gwen stefani and urban decay on the front. And the weight of it is very heavy and sturdy. They've really thought about it and to be honest ill never throw the box away!


These are the 15 eyesahdows: ----->




  • Blonde
  • Bathwater
  • Skimp
  • Steady
  • Punk
  • Baby
  • Anaheim
  • Stark
  • Zone
  • Serious
  • Pop
  • Harajuku
  • Danger
  • 1987
  • Blackout
Perfect for a everyday look and also going for a smokey eye look to mix it up.

I had a few samples given to me also eye primer and few concealer to try and gwen stefani lipstick. Was really chuffed as wanted to try there eye primer before purchasing one.

W7 Banana Powder Review

So After Debating Weather To Get The Ben NYE Banana Powder I Came Across A Similar One In The Beauty Outlet In Swindon Outlet. From W7 Its Banana Dreams Unfortunately It Only Comes In One Colour Unlike Ben Nye Comes In A Few Different Colours. 

The Texture Of The Powder Is Very Light And Soft, Nice On The Skin But I Do Find It Was Quite Yellow Due To It Being A Cheaper Brand But I Was Really Happy Finding A Dupe :) 

If You Are New Trying This Like Me It Would Be Worth Getting This Before Purchasing The Ben Nye Banana Powder. Gives You A Idea Of What Its Like And How It Turns Out Still Works The Same Way Just Different Brands A Price.


I Paid £3.99 For W7 Banana Powder.


Im Happy In What It Does And The Price Is A Bargain. :)

MAC Pigment Colour Powder

Today's First Review Is On The MAC Pigment Colour Powder 
In Colours: 
  • Kitschmas
  • Fuchsia
  • Blue Brown


I Brought These In The Cosmetic Company Down In Swindon Outlet For £11.25 Each RRP £16. I Never Tried Any Of  MAC's Eyeshadows Before And Seeing They Are A Reasonable Price And The Colours Are Beautiful I Thought Id Give Them A Go. 

Great Pigmentation In These And Easy To Use And Blend. They Do Get Quite Messy As Its A Loose Eyeshadow But I Always Use A Tissue Under The Eye To Stop Flakes Getting On The Face. :)

Im Am Very Looking Forward To Be Purchasing More In The Future As Ive Just Been Accepted For A MAC Pro Discount Card!! :D

I Cant Really Fault Any Of MAC Products So Far As Im Always Impressed With The Products And The Quality Of Them. The Prices Of The Eyeshadows Are Worth The Price And They Give Out The Best Quality.

Swatches Are Below:
