Look Incredible Beauty Box Review January 2017



Hello you beauties!

I'm back today with my favourite beauty box and I am happy that it's the first one of the year. I wasn't expecting amazing-ness, but what did they deliver? One amazing box!

The first item that I noticed in this month's box was the BareMinerals Daily Recovery Concentrate. I have never actually used any of their skincare before but I have always been impressed by their makeup so I'm really looking forward to trying this product out. Especially with the weather being so cold and my skin drying out a lot, new skincare items is always needed.

Another skincare item in this month's box is the Bee Good Honey & Camelina Facial Exfoliator. I don't know if anyone really knows this about me but I really do love exoliators as I feel like they do wonders for my skin. Especially during this cold weather. They always help me feel refreshed and I hope this one will too.

I have again been able to add another makeup brush to my collection and it honestly is the most beautiful brush I have ever seen! It is by Too Faced, and I have used their makeup before but never their brushes. The colour of this brush is beautiful and it is so so soft. I'm so scared to use it because I don't want to ruin it. I'm sure it'll be amazing though.

Another makeup product included in this box is another BareMinerals product. It is their 5-in-1 BB Advanced Performance Cream Eyeshadow and I got the shade 'Soft Moss'. I was a bit unsure about this product because I've never been a massive fan of cream products. However, this eyeshadow is really good. Basically as soon as you apply it, it turns into a powder and is really easy to blend out. I love the colour too - a slightly greyish colour. I can definitely see myself using this a lot.

The final product in this months box actually made me so excited that I screamed. It's a mascara from the brand Rosie for Autograph, and for a very long time I have wanted to try out this brand but never got round to buying anything. And now I finally own on of the products! I love the packaging too! It's such a pretty colour and so simplistic too. The wand seems great and easy to use, although I haven't actually tried it out yet because I own so many mascaras!

So this is probably one of my favourite editions of this box of all time. They really did deliver excellence straight into the new year and I hope they keep this up.

I'll be back on Saturday with my last post of the month!

My Christmas Wishlist 2016



Hello you beauties!

Welcome to Day 2 of Blogmas! Let's get straight into my 2016 Christmas wishlist!

Day Two of Makeup Revolution calendar: Mini foundation brush

1. This Christmas I would definitely love some more NYX lip products. I have a few already and I love them, I think they're brilliant quality and so I would love to have some more for Christmas this year. I would especially love some more of the Intense Butter Glosses.

2. I would also love to have a Victoria's Secret hand bag this year. I did see one that I really liked a couple of months ago, but I couldn't afford it at the time. It was just a simple black one, but I would really love to have it.

3. Most importantly, I would love a new phone for Christmas, especially an iPhone. I smashed my old phone a couple of months ago, and had to just use a cheaper phone since then that can be quite annoying sometimes, so I would love a new phone, especially as my blog is based on social media. So having a new, decent phone would be easier for me to talk to and interact with you all.

4. I also would like to have the Too Faced Chocolate Bar eyeshadow palette. I have wanted this palette for so long but never been able to afford it. I love the range of shades in it and I think it would fit perfectly into my makeup collection.

5. Another eyeshadow palette that I have been lusting over recently and would love to receive for Christmas is the Violet Voss Holy Grail palette. The only reason I haven't got it yet is because it is so expensive and usually sold out everywhere, but I will honestly be the happiest girl alive if I opened this palette on December 25th.

6. The Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade and the brow wiz pencil are both two items that I would love for Christmas as I have heard such great things about them and I am always looking for the best products to use on my brows.

7. Finally, I would also love some of the Jeffree Star lipsticks, especially the shades 'Unicorn Blood' and 'Celebrity Skin'. I have heard such great things about this brand so I would love to get some of these lipsticks for Christmas so I can try them out for myself. I would also like some of his liquid lipsticks for Christmas too, but I am currently unsure about what shades I would like to try.

So that is my current Christmas wishlist for this year. Knowing me, I'll probably end up adding to it as the month progresses. Obviously, I do not expect anyone to buy anything on this list for me and would consider myself so lucky if I were to receive these items on the list. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Until then, feel free to comment on this post sharing your own Christmas wishlist with me and friends!

I'll be back tomorrow with Day 3 of Blogmas for you all!

My Wish List 2016 - Everything and Anything!

Hello you beauties!

Everyone loves having their own wishlist - I really don't think you could ever own every single thing that you want! So I decided to give you all my wishlist so far!

1. Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.
I have heard many great things about this mascara, and I love the Too Faced brand so I am really keen to try out this mascara.

2. Spectrum makeup brushes
Brushes are probably one of the most important parts of makeup application, and so I'm always in need of amazing makeup brushes. I would love to own some Spectrum brushes as they look like such good quality and are so pretty too!

3. Too Faced Sweetheart Blushes
I seem to just love Too Faced at the moment! These blushes are so cute and I love the fact that you get 3 different shades in one. I may also have to try the cheaper Makeup Revolution versions.

4. Romwe Sweaters
While I'm trying to ban myself from buying any more clothing, I have found myself looking through the Romwe website and have fallen in love with the sweaters they have! I find the need to buy more sweaters as I don't own many and the weather is getting much colder.

5. Darker nail polish shades
I have a LOT of nail polishes. I really do. But a lot of them seem to be quite summer-y shades, and with autumn here and winter approaching, I really need to buy some darker red and plum/purple tones ready for the festive months.

So that was my current wishlist! I hope you all enjoyed reading it, and feel free to share your own wishlist with me.

I'll be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

Look Incredible Beauty Box Review September 2016



Hello you beauties!

It is time again for another beauty box review for you all, and this time it is the lovely Look Incredible box. Well, when I say lovely, I mean I usually love this box but this month was the first time I actually felt disappointed with this company, but I'll get onto that later.
Price of box is £18.99 per monthAnd £2.50 P&P
There are 5 products in this month's box
This box is worth £80
The brands included in this box are: Make Up For Ever, Elizabeth Arden, Princess Marcella Borghese, Laura Geller and Too Faced

The first item that I noticed in the box was the Elizabeth Arden Makeup Blender (£10), which at first I was very happy to see. I hardly use makeup sponges - I never actually owned one until I received the Nanshy one in a previous box - so I have always been keen to try some more. Seeing this one with a handle was strange, as I have never seen these sorts of sponges before. And this sponge really is not easy to use. The sponge is so hard that it actually hurts when trying to blend in foundation, and even wetting the sponge slightly has no effect. I might try this out again in the future, but for now, I'm not a massive fan.

The next product was the Make Up For Ever Uplight Face Luminizer Gel (£25). I have heard about this brand before and heard great things and always wanted to try out their products. I hate to start my collection of their products so negatively. This product was definitely too dark for me, it was basically just water at one point which made it physically impossible to use. And the smell! It smelt disgusting that I think I may have hidden this product away somewhere so that I don't have to look at it again. This definitely is a product I'll never use again.

Now we're getting less negative again the products. I was excited to see Too Faced Exotic Colour Eyeshadow (£15), as I absolutely LOVE Too Faced products so I knew this one would be amazing. And it is. It is so creamy, and really pigmented. The only downside to this product is the shade I received. I received the shade 'Enchanted Garden', which is a glittery dark green shade, and I don't usually wear green eyeshadows. I would've preferred it in a more wearable shade, but I suppose because of how dark my one is, if I'm careful with it then I may be able to use it in a rare smokey eye.

Next I pulled out the Laura Geller Colour Enriched Lipstick (£16) in the shade '' which is a lovely deep plum colour, perfect for the coming Autumn and Winter months. I have never really worn lipsticks of this sort of shade before, so I am excited to try it out. I feel like this may become a staple in my makeup bag over the next few months as it is a great colour and feels so great when worn. I might try and buy some different shades of this lipstick in the future.

Finally, there is probably my most favourite item in the whole box. It is the Princess Marcella Borghese Superiore State of the Art mascara (£14). When I first saw this mascara in the box, I got annoyed. Another mascara!? Really!? It wasn't that long ago that we got the No7 mascara (and this soon became my favourite mascara) but then I tried out this new mascara and fell in love instantly. I even think I could call this one my favourite mascara now! It adds the right amount of volume, length and colour, and I can even use it on my bottom lashes without looking stupid! It is very rare that I can find a mascara that works that well. I will definitely repurchase this mascara in the future.

So that was this month's Look Incredible box. Even though there were a couple of items in the box that I was not happy with at all, I will definitely continue with my subscription to this box.

I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

My Beauty and Skincare Wishlist Summer 2016


Hello you beauties!

Welcome back to my blog! I can't believe that it's almost the end of the month already. It'll be Christmas before we know it.

I'm sure you're all exactly the same as me when we have massive lists of every makeup and skincare item that you want to own but could not afford all in one go. So I decided to share at least the majority of my list with you today (if I shared it all we might be here for a very long time). So enjoy!


The one item that I have probably wanted the most for the whole time I have been into makeup has to be the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara (£19). I have heard many great things about this mascara and have been so desperate to try it out but I never have the money to be able to buy it. I am planning for this to be my next big purchase.

This is something that everyone knows about - the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (£15.50 for the 100ml starter kit). I am always keen to try new things regarding skincare and have been wanting to try the Liz Earle products for a while now. I know a lot of people use this product and really like it, so hopefully I will get to try it one day in the future.



The next product is the Lights Camera Lashes mascara by Tarte (£17). Yes, it is another mascara. I have seen this in some beauty box reviews (I think it was a Look Incredible one) and again I have heard so many amazing things about this one too. The packaging is super cute and my favourite colour so this will definitely become part of my makeup collection one day!


I would really like the try the LUSH lip scrubs (£5.50 for 25g), especially the 'Bubblegum' one. I get very dry lips and I am always looking for something brilliant to use to prevent this from happening. I have heard that these products are great, they actually work and you can actually eat them too! I will definitely go out and purchase one of these soon.


Next is an eyeshadow palette! Finally, it's not another mascara! This palette that I want is the 'Eyes are the Window' eyeshadow palette in 'Soul' by Stila (£30). Now, this seems like a lot of money, especially when my loved Makeup Revolution 'Flawless' palette (which contains 32 shades compared to Stila's 12) is only £8. But this palette is just beautiful! I love the range of shades in this palette, I would definitely use all of the shades in it, whereas there are some shades in my current palette that I probably wouldn't touch. I think this eyeshadow is definitely worth the price and I am so desperate to own it!

I have always wanted to try the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash (£4.79). Again, I am keen to try a new skincare and I know this is quite popular among a lot of people. I also love love love the scent of pink grapefruit so I feel like I would love this product and I will probably try and buy this very soon.




A MAC lipstick (£15.50) would be the next item on my list. I don't know what shade I will get (just as long as it suits me then I don't think I mind what shade, although the shades 'Velvet Teddy' and 'Syrup' looks amazing). I feel like everyone who loves makeup will own a MAC lipstick at one point in their life. I already own a patentpolish lip pencil but I would love to own a lipstick from this brand too.




Finally, another product I want to try is a body sorbet from The Body Shop (c. £8) - I especially have my eye on the pink grapefruit one and the pinita colada one. I had never heard of a body sorbet until I saw them as I walked into the closest shop to me a few months ago. A body moisturiser!? I use body lotions - so I'm wondering if a body moisturiser would be any different. I am getting anxious to try one but I'm trying to use up all the body lotions that I own before I spend £8 on one of these.

So that is just part of my wishlist for you! I hope you enjoyed reading this. Why don't you share your wishlist with me?

I'll be back on Wednesday with another blog post for you all.

My Little Box Beauty Box Review June 2016

Hello you beauties!

I am back again with another blog post for you all. I have to admit, writing beauty box reviews has to be my favourite thing ever, other than receiving the boxes themselves.


This review is of the 'My Little Box', which this month has the theme of 'Summer Vibes', so I am expecting very summer-y and beach-y items. I'm so excited!

Price of box is £11 per monthAnd £3.95 P&P
There are 5 products in this month's box
If all full-sized products, this box would be worth c.
The brands included in this box are: My Little Beauty, Kusmi, Ciate and Too Faced

Let's start with the lifestyle items.

The first item I noticed was the Kusmi Iced Tea Aquafizz sachet. Now, I'm not a big fan of tea, I never have liked it (surprisingly to say I'm a British girl!) but my family seem to think I might like this, as it is iced and fruity. I got it in the flavour hibiscus, berries and red fruits, which seems nice and I usually drink berry fruit drinks, so I have a feeling I'll like it. I'm going to try it out and I'll tell you what I think. However, if I don't like this it doesn't mean you won't. Everyone likes different things. At the moment, there is an offer - buy 3 get 1 free, or you can buy a pack of 10 large Muslin bags of this iced tea for £14.


The next and final lifestyle item is a tank top style t-shirt from the My Little Box company itself, with the slogan 'Girls Just Wanna Have Sun' in blue text. I love the idea of this t-shirt, but the only problem is that it doesn't quite fit me! It's not really suitable for me to wear out and about (it's a bit of a see-through top too) but I have found it is great to use as a pyjama t-shirt for the warmer weather. This top costs £ which I think is a little bit much because of the quality of this product, but I am very happy to have received this in my box.

Now onto the beauty products...


Instead of the usually cloth drawstring bag you receive your beauty items in, this month we are given a little waterproof zip up bag that you can use to store your bikini. Seeing as I am not going away this summer and I don't go swimming anyway, I will not use this for it's intended purpose but I'm sure it will be great storage for other products.

The first thing I pulled out of this bag is the My Little Beauty Sea Salt Spray. You all remember when I mentioned the Shwarzkopf Sea Salt Spray back in my April favourites? Well you know that I love using this sort of product in my hair all year round, so I was extremely excited to see this product in there. This product costs £___ for a medium-ish sized bottle, which is a bit more than the larger Shwarzkopf bottle at 2 for £5, but I tried this product out straight away and it works much more effectively than other salt sprays I have tried - I love the texture it creates!  I would definitely recommend this product to you all.

Next was a Ciate mini nail polish, in the shade 'Pepperminty' (which you have guessed, is in the shade mint). I have heard of this brand before, heard it is great, but have never tried it before. So now I have the chance to! I love the shade - it's not exactly the same as shades I already own which is great, it is something different to try out. The size is perfect too, so I can pop it into my handbag without it taking up too much space so I can have it on my person in case I need to fix my nails at any point. I am really excited to try this out.

Finally, this last product is the product I was happiest to see. It is the Too Faced 'Glitter Glue' glitter eyeshadow primer. A Too Faced product!? I was over-the-moon when I saw this. I love Too Faced, and I wear a lot of glitter eyeshadows so this product seems perfect for me. I am yet to try it out, as I already have two eyeshadows primers open and in use but as soon as I use this eyeshadow primer I will let you know what I think. This product also only costs £10, so I will happily repurchase this product again for that price (only £2 more than my GOSH primer) if I like/love the product.

So that was my June 2016 'My Little Box' review for you all. I really do love this monthly box and would highly suggest that you consider a subscription with them too! The lifestyle items definitely give it that extra 'wow' factor in making it stand out from other boxes.

I'll be back on Saturday with another blog post for you all!
