Hello you beauties!

I am back today with another blog post for you all. This time I am telling you about my make-up brush collection. At the beginning of this month, I bought a whole new set of makeup brushes which I use everyday, so these are the brushes that I will be talking to you about today.

However, before I bought these brushes, I used a makeup brush set from the brand 'Pretty in Pink' that can be found at Argos for only £12.99. However, now that I am slowly getting more serious about my makeup, I decided that I needed to buy better quality brushes.

So I have been saving up for a while, and I have finally bought myself 12 Real Techniques brushes, all from Superdrug! So here is my brush collection - enjoy!

First I bought myself the Core Collection set, which is a set of 4 brushes for £20.99, so averaging at £5.25 per brush. This set comes with a case/stand for these brushes. I don't actually use this as I keep my brushes in a pale green small-ish bucket/tin that I bought for £2 from Tiger, though I am planning on keeping these cases for when I am travelling and taking my make-up with me.


In this set, there is the pointed foundation brush. The brush feels soft and looks like it could be good to use. I have not actually used this brush yet, but the cashier at the till told me it is a good brush, but because it is small, she finds it takes her a while to apply her foundation using this. I will try it myself and let you know what I think.

Also in this set, I have a detailer brush, which is a very small brush that I usually use to apply my concealer before I blend with my finger. It is a very small brush which is perfect for getting right around the eyes, and applying it in areas that may be more difficult to apply with larger brushes. This brush can also be used for your lips, but I wouldn't use it for that personally as I hate using brushes for my lips.

Next is a buffing brush, which is said to be perfect for application of powder and mineral foundations. As I use neither of those, then I have not used this brush for its intended purpose. I have, however, tried using this brush to blend in my concealer, except from around my eyes, and I suppose this brush is pretty good for that.

Finally in this set is a contour brush. Yes! Finally, I have a contour brush! I have always wanted one of these. I bought myself the Seventeen 'Define and Conquer' Contour kit last month but never really had a brush to use this with so I never used this. This brush is nice and small-ish and rounded so it is great to use if you're a beginner to contour just like I am.

The next set that I have is the Eye Makeup Brush Starter Set, which is a set of 5 brushes that also costs £20.99, therefore each brush averages at £4.20 each. Again, this set comes with a case that I have kept to one side for travel.

The first brush in this set is the Deluxe Crease Brush which, as the name states, is to use with eyeshadow in the crease. At first, this brush looks scarily big and you'd feel like your eyes are just not going to look right, but it's actually pretty easy to use and I prefer it more than I do other eyeshadow brushes that I have used. I usually use this brush with my glitter/shimmer eyeshadows.

Next is another eyeshadow brush - the base shadow brush. Again, as this name suggests, it is for your base eyeshadow. I choose to use this brush with my matte shades that I apply all over my lid. This brush is smaller than the crease brush but is so easy to use, offers great coverage for your lid and is extremely soft.

Next is the accent brush, which is supposedly used to highlight certain areas of your eyes. I sometimes (aka very rarely) use this brush to add a very nude and pale shade of eyeshadow near my tear duct. Other than that, I never use this brush.

Then there is a pixel point eyeliner brush. If you have been reading this blog for a while now, you will know that I hardly ever use eyeliner - basically almost never. Also this brush is quite thick so I feel like it will be even more difficult to apply it with this brush than I already find it. Therefore, I will probably not get much use out of this brush.

The last brush in this set is the brow brush. Again, if you've been reading this blog for a while you will know that I cannot leave the house without doing my brows! It's just something I find is essential in my life. I own the Maybelline Master Brow Pro Palette and I usually use the little double ended angle brush in this set, but since I bought this Real Techniques set, I have used this brow brush everyday for the powder. It is so soft and so easy to use that I don't understand why I haven't bought this before now!

The next 3 brushes I bought are all individually bought. None of these had any form of case with them.

The first is probably everyone's favourite Real Techniques brush. Yes, that's right, I'm talking about the expert face brush! This cost just £8.99, and I now use this for my liquid foundation, which I guess is what everyone uses this for. I find that this is much easier to use than my foundation brush from Wilko's, and so I would definitely recommend that you buy this brush for yourself!

The second brush is the powder brush. This cost me £10.99, and I find this brush is an essential for my makeup look. I always use powder, and I use the Rimmel Stay Matte powder in the shade 'Translucent'. This brush picks up the powder really well and helps to create that flawless, matte finish.

Finally, this has to be my most favourite brush that I have ever owned. It is the Real Techniques blush brush, which cost me £9.99. This brush is actually amazing! It has a very rounded shape which I find is brilliant for applying my powder blushers, and is extremely, extremely soft. Is it weird that a lot of the time I just sit stroking this brush on my face!? I am in love with this brush! Please please please, everyone go and buy it!

So this is my complete brush collection, and I hope the pictures prove to you just how amazing the brushes are. The total came to £70.95 altogether (I got £1 off from my Superdrug Health & Beauty Card), and even though it seems like a lot of money at first, the quality of these brushes means that it is definitely worth the price. I couldn't recommend these highly enough!

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

Hello you beauties!

I am back again with another beauty box review for you all! This one is my favourite - the Look Incredible beauty box. I love the fact that we receive 5 full sized items a month, for only £18.99. 

I must admit, I had a problem with this box this month, hence why it is the last post of the month. The first box that was sent out to me still hadn't arrived almost 2 weeks after it was sent out, so I emailed Look Incredible and they sent me a new box straight out. This arrived within a week, and I was so happy to finally receive it. Everything was in perfect condition, and I would just like to thank the Look Incredible team for such brilliant customer service. 

Now, let's get onto the box!

Price of box is £18.99 per month. And £2.50 P&P

There are 5 products in this month's box

This box is worth £76.50

The brands included in this box are: Ciate, No7, Velvet 59, Stila and The Body Shop

Ciate Manicure Set (RRP. £16)

This is the first item that I saw in the box, mainly because it was the item on top. Ciate is a brand that I have heard a lot about but not really used before, until I received a mini in the shade 'Pepperminty' in this month's 'My Little Box'. I loved that nail varnish that I own now, so I was really happy to see this product in the box. The shade of nail varnish we receive ('Cream Soda') is a lovely grey colour that I would see myself using a lot. The foils are beautiful colours, with a range of golds, silvers and greens, etc. Each foil is named; 'Flash', 'Fizz', 'Feisty', 'Fling', 'Flirt' and 'Frost'. I am really looking forward to trying these out, as it's something new to try. 

The Body Shop Moroccan Rhassoul Body Clay (RRP. £16)

I absolutely love this brand. The Body Shop is somewhere I go on every shopping trip. I own four of their body mists which I use every day, along with many other products of theirs. So of course I was extremely excited to see this brand featured in this month's box. I like the fact that this is supposed to firm your skin, as I certainly have a lot of areas that need firming! The scent of this clay isn't as bad as some people have said, but it certainly does get messy, so I'd advise not to apply any where it would be difficult to remove (e.g. fabrics). I can't see any effects yet, but I've only used it once, so I'll bring you a proper review when I can see better results.

No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara (RRP. £11.50)

This box couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time. I had just run out of my favourite Maybelline mascara, and was about to buy some more, but now I don't have to. I tried this mascara out as soon as I spotted it in the box. It doesn't add massive volume, but sometimes I prefer that as it helps me to create a more natural look. It adds a lot of colour (I received my mascara in the shade 'Black') and even curls the lashes. Mascaras are probably one of my favourite makeup items, and No7 is definitely one of my favourite drugstore brands. I will definitely repurchase this in the future.

Velvet 59 Matte to the Max Liquid Lipstick (RRP. £17)
This is a brand that I have honestly never heard of before. I like the idea of the product being vegan, although it's not something that I'd go out and look for in particular. However, I am wary about trying this brand's products again. This, however, is only because I find this lipstick so hard to work with. It is so... 'runny' and I find that I have to blend it with my finger too to make it reasonably wearable. Also, the colour really doesn't suit me. I received the shade 'Pink Cadillac', which I think is the shade that everyone received. It is a very bright, light pink, which is a colour I never wear, and I don't see myself using this in the future. I might've done if it was a more wearable colour for me though.

Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer (RRP. £16)
I think I was most excited about this product this month. Stila is a brand that I have always wanted to try, and finally I got my chance! I received the shade 'Kitten Shimmer', which I think is, again, the shade that everyone received. I hardly ever use highlighters, but this highlighter is so pretty that I feel like I'll be using this every single day. It is extremely easy to use and blend, and helps create a perfect, natural look. I will definitely consider buying this again.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this box. It's hard to decide if I prefer this box over last month's, as both were amazing. This is definitely my favourite beauty box that I receive each month, and it's great value for a grand total of £21.49 a month. I will be continuing with this beauty box for as long as it continues to impress me.

I'll be back on Friday with my June favourites for you all!

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 month. And £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!

 Hello you beauties!

This is always the most exciting time of the month for me! I get so excited for my beauty box subscriptions to arrive. In fact, that leads on to a funny story.

At 7am on the 3rd June (when this box actually arrived), I received a text to tell me t.hat my parcel would be delivered that day. Of course, knowing what it was, I got extremely excited. I spent most of the day pacing up and down all around the house, impatiently waiting. I got tired of pacing so I ended up sitting by the window, watching outside ready for when the van pulled up. And eventually, it did. At just gone 11am. I was so excited I think I looked like a little excited puppy. And the postman saw me. And he walked up my path chuckling to himself. It was so embarrassing!

Now, onto the box review!

Price of box is £11.25 per month (if 12 month subscription). No fee for P&P

There are 8 products in this month's box

If all full-sized products, this box would be worth c.£160

The brands included in this box are: Mr Blanc, Naobay, Spa Majik, Caudalie, Cowshed, Tan Organic and Korres

As we have for the past few editions of this box, we received this month's issue of Elle magazine (RRP. £4.10). However, I don't usually read these.

Naobay Oxygenating Cream Moisturiser (Given: 22ml. Full size: 50ml for £32.95)
I haven't tried this product yet, but I am very excited about it. It's made from natural ingredients which I am always keen to try as I am finding a lot of products are causing break outs on my skin at the moment. Also, 22ml is a very generous size to include in the box and I can see myself using this throughout the summer if i like it enough. I may even do a review on this product in the future once I have tried it.

Mr Blanc Teeth Whitening Strips (Given: 3 sets. Full size: 14 day supply for £24.99)
Whitening my teeth is something I have always wanted to do yet I cannot afford to get it done by the dentist and I am too scared to try it myself. So receiving these strips in the box is actually very good as it is encouraging me to do it. However, I am not a massive fan of these strips. The strips themselves are very big - way too big for my teeth. The strips feel very uncomfortable in my mouth and the amount of gel left on my teeth afterwards made me feel very nauseated! Also, they hardly whitened my teeth! Maybe it takes a few days for them to take effect, or maybe I was doing something wrong. I will try these again though and let you know what I think,

Korres Bergamot Pear Shower Gel (Given: 40ml worth £3. Full size: 250ml currently 2 for £8 on lookfantastic.com)
I was really happy to see this product in the box. I love love love scented shower gels, and after trying the eye primer that I received in the May Look Incredible beauty box, I was keen to try this brand again. The smell is great, and very different from what I am used to, but it is a great addition to my skincare collection. I haven't tried this product yet, but from first impressions I am really impressed with this product and will be trying it as soon as possible.

Caudalie Premier Cru Eye Cream (Given: 7ml. Full size: 15ml for £49)
If I am honest, I have never used any Caudalie products before. I have heard great things about them, but never used any before. I have also never used eye cream before, so this was a great addition to the box to persuade me to try something new. And I honestly love this cream. Even after only one use, my eyes already seemed better. They seemed lifted and brighter and it also helped with my under eye dark circles. I will definitely be using up all of this sample and even though it costs a lot of money for the full size, I might even consider buying this again.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Beauty Balm (Full size: 50ml for £13.50)
I have always been keen to try a BB cream, because as the weather is warming, I find that foundations are becoming too heavy and therefore I have heard a BB cream is much lighter on the skin. I tried this out in place of my foundation in my make-up routine, and it is brilliant. It doesn't offer as much coverage as my foundations do, but I don't expect massive coverage from something similar to a tinted moisturiser. I will definitely be using this throughout the summer.

Tan Organic Self Tan Oil (Given: 25ml. Full size: 100ml for £24.99)
I am actually really excited to try this product out. I have never been brave enough to used tanning products before (until I received the tanning moisturiser in a My Little Box beauty box) as it seems so difficult and fiddly and frustrating to do. However, this product seems brilliant. It's an oil so I presume it won't be as messy - obviously as it even says that you don't need to use a tanning glove. I'm going to try this out as soon as I can, and if it gives me the results I want/expect then I will definitely buy it again.

Cowshed Cow Pat Moisturising Hand Cream (Given: 50ml. Full size: 300ml for £16)
I think I was most excited about this product. That is because I just love hand creams, as I get very dry hands. Usually I use the Zoella Wonder Hand hand cream or the Baylis and Harding Beauticology Raspberry Cream Macaroon Hand and Body Lotion, so this was a hugely welcomed addition to this month's box. I loved how smooth it made my skin, but I wasn't too keen on the scent. With it having grapefruit notes to it, I thought I would love this scent. But with all the different notes together, it is just too overpowering and not so pleasant a smell. I may learn to like this scent, but I am not overly pleased with this product.

Overall, I am really pleased with this box. The box is very skincare heavy, which I wasn't too keen about at first but this box has actually really impressed me! The problem with skin care is that it can be very hit and miss with me, but I am sure I will use everything in this month's box.

I am really looking forward to next month's box - genuinely this time.

P.S. I don't know if you can notice, but the pictures look of a different quality than usual. That will be because I am no longer using the camera on my phone, but rather on my actual camera. I have it up and running properly now, so I hope you like these better quality pictures on my blog from now on.

*The Look Fantastic box comes in many subscriptions starting at just £11.25 per month.*

Hello you beauties!

I am the sort of person that cannot leave the house without wearing make-up, unless I am going to work. I usually use the same products every day, and often the same look everyday, so I thought I would bring you a post telling you my everyday make-up routine/look! Enjoy!

1. The first step will be to apply a spritz of my Makeup Revolution Fixing Spray (£6), While it is a setting spray, I do find that it really helps to hold your make-up if applied under the primer base as well as over the top of your powder.

2. I then apply my oh-so-loved Nivea Daily Essentials Hydration Primer (£4.99) as a base for my make-up. If I'm honest, this is the only primer I have ever tried so I can't claim that it is the best, but I do think that it does a pretty good job. I will be open to trying other ones in the future but I am pretty happy sticking to this one for now.

3. I then apply my foundation, and I use the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Anti-Fatigue Foundation (£8.99), which is know is also popular among YouTubers such as Zoe Sugg and Louise Pentland. This is the first foundation I used as I was scared to try foundation, worried that I'd end up over-doing it. But I found this foundation is really easy to use, and I now use it pretty much everyday to try and create a flawless look.

4. Next I apply concealer. I know some people like to apply their concealer before their foundation, but I find that I can offer myself better coverage if I apply concealer afterwards. I use the Makeup Revolution Cover and Conceal Palette (£6) and while not all the shades are perfect, it is really easy to mix different shades to create something that you want and I find myself using this religiously on any spots/blemishes and under-eye bags.

5. Then, I decide to apply my blusher. I never really used to wear blusher, but have decided to experiment more with it now and I am actually loving it! I find myself switching between the Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in Hot Spice (£6) which offers 8 different shades from brighter, lighter pinks to darker, more toned down pinks, to even a coral shade. Even though they're really pigmented, they don't stand out immensely which creates the perfect look. I am also enjoying using my beloved bareMinerals READY blush (£22) in the shade the Whisper, which is a very toned down, neutral shade, and I usually use this on my more natural, barely there, days.  While it's more expensive - over 3 times the price for only one shade!- it really is good quality and will see myself buying their blushers again in the future.

6. Then, it is time for the eyebrows! I used to use pencils, but found they could be tricky as the shades weren't always perfect for my eyebrows, so I recently invested in the Maybelline Master Brow Pro Palette (£6.99) in the shade Soft Brown. I am extremely pleased with this product and it's so easy to use. I find myself reaching for it everyday now.

7. Now, I would apply my eye primer onto my lids ready for my eyeshadow. Usually I use the GOSH Prime 'n' Refresh Illuminating Roll-On Eye Primer (£7.99), which is great and helps my eyeshadow to stay perfect for a few hours and it is still easy for me to apply my eyeshadow. It does crease, however, after a few hours, but it's better than I expected. However, I also often use the Korres Anti-Ageing Eye Primer (£15). This primer is easy to apply and blend, and I sometimes only apply this without putting eyeshadow on top and it gives a little colour and light to my eyes. It's not amazingly easy to apply your eyeshadow on top, but I find this works even better than the GOSH one does. I can go hours wearing my makeup and not having to top up my make-up and most of the time when I return home 8 hours later, my eyeshadow is almost as perfect when I return as when I went out.

8. Then I apply my eyeshadow which is my favourite part of my whole routine. I only ever use the Makeup Revolution Flawless Palette (£8) with 32 shades. With such a huge array of shades on offer, I can create countless combination looks just from the one palette. I usually use a plain neutral shade on the whole of my lid, and then a glitter shade down near my eyelashes which I then blend out. Having not even dared use glitter eyeshadows in the past, this palette is really helping me to try something new.

9. What better way to complete your eye make-up than the perfect mascara!? My favourite mascara, and also usually my go-to mascara is the Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme Volum' Waterproof Mascara (£6.99). I prefer waterproof mascaras as I find that they stay put a lot longer than non-waterproof ones, and that's useful because I am on the move A LOT. This mascara also adds great volume and a lot of colour to your lashes.

10. Next it is time for my lips. This, I find is always the hardest part of the whole look. Do I go for a matte look or stick to gloss? Do I wear lipstick or use a lip crayon? Will this go with my lip liner or should I just not bother with that today? So many questions, so much choice. Usually, I go for my Collection Work The Colour Lip Butter (£2.99) in the shade Cappuccino which is a very basic but subtle neutral shade for my lips. I am also loving my Essence Long-Lasting Lipstick (£2.30) in the shade Natural Beauty which is a very toned down pink, perfect for that pop of colour that isn't over the top.

11. Finally, I finish with any spritz of the Makeup Revolution Fixing Spray, and then a light dusting of my Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder (£3.99) in the shade Translucent. This has to be the best powder I have ever used. It does exactly what it promises, and does not get patchy at all. I would highly recommend this product, and it creates the perfect finish to my look.

So that is my daily look.

Overall, my everyday make-up look totals £68.24 - £91.94! Wow! A lot more than I expected!

Maybe one day I will be brave enough to upload a picture of me wearing that look, but for now I will leave you with this post and your vivid imaginations. I hope you all enjoyed reading this and I will be back on Wednesday with another post for you all.

Thank you!!

Hello you beauties!

Today I am bringing you a Top 10 for under £10 post, which is great if you're on a budget. There are many products that I own that are under £10 so this post is going to be difficult for me, but I am sure I can give you some really great recommendations!

1. Make-Up Revolution Flawless Eyeshadow Palette (£8)
    I swear by this palette. You get 32 shades for only £8, which means you can create a massive variety of looks with just the one palette. This is going to last ages and this is why I think it is great value for money.

2. Maybelline Master Brow Pro Palette Kit (£6.99)
    Until just recently, I have never really been bothered about my eyebrows. But then I started to care, and I used pencils. I really struggled with those, so when I found this palette, I was keen to try it. It's great value for money, easy to use and I would really recommend it.

3. Rimmel London Stay Matte Finishing Pressed Powder (£3.99)
    I think anyone interested in beauty understands the importance of using a good finishing powder, but sometimes it's hard to find one. I used to use a loose powder from the brand Natural Collection (RRP. £1.99) but honestly, I have never really had much luck with this brand's products. So I found this Rimmel London one, and I actually love it! I use the shade 'Transparent' because I personally find it to be the safest, and it definitely does it's job. I would definitely recommend this product, and I know a lot of other people would too.

4. Nivea Daily Essentials Regenerating Night Cream (£4.35)
    After taking my makeup off at night, I always find that my skin feels too dry. So I've been searching for the perfect night cream, that is also affordable. From my previous posts, and future posts to come, you will notice that I absolutely love Nivea products so when I found this night cream, I thought I would give it a try. This is the closest I have found to perfection so far, and I would recommend that you all try it too.

5. Zoella Candy Cream Softening Body Lotion (£5)
    I am a sucker for body lotions. You all should know I love scented products, and Zoella's products have always managed to impress me with the amazing scents. I bought this alongside the Zoella Scrubbing Me Softly Body Scrub (RRP. £7) and the scents work perfectly together, and leave your skin feeling amazingly soft. However, this is from her Tutti Fruity range, which will be discontinued soon, so buy it while you can! I will be stocking up very soon.

6. Nivea Daily Essentials Extra Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover (£3.49)
    I have to admit that I am guilty of using wipes to remove my make-up, and I know I shouldn't but sometimes I am lazy! So when I saw this eye make-up remover for such a low price, I thought I would buy it to try it. And it is amazing! It is so easy to use, and so quick to use too! It causes no irritation and has no annoying scent to it.

7. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara (£7.99)
    I am extremely fussy with mascaras. I always find they do not add enough volume, or they clump too much. However, I have always been very impressed with Maybelline products, especially their mascaras and brow products, so I was keen to give this mascara a try, especially hearing all the good things said about this mascara from other people (such as Zoe Sugg). It does add volume - it really makes your eyelashes stand out and hardly ever clumps. While it is not a perfect mascara, it is great if you want a decent product without breaking your bank.

8. Rimmel London Lasting Colour Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm (£5.99)
    I always find that Rimmel London make-up is so hit and miss. There are products that I love (such as their foundation and pressed powder) but so many more products that I hate (such as their mascaras). I cannot remember why I decided to buy 4 of these colour balms, but I did and they're actually pretty good. They apply well, and the colour stays for ages. When it says intense, it really does mean intense! The colours that I own are way too bright and 'out there' for an everyday look but I have saved these colour balms to use on special occasions/nights out.

9. Nivea Daily Essentials Hydration Primer (£4.99)
   Everyone knows the importance of a good base for your make-up. Again, this is a Nivea product so I knew when I bought it that it'd probably be impressed. And I am impressed. Not only does this primer create a brilliant base for make-up (even better if applied over a spritz of setting spray), it also moisturisers your skin, so there is no chance you will be left with the feeling of dry skin once applying your foundation. I would definitely recommend this product.

10. The Body Shop Born Lippy Pot Lip Balm (£2)
      The Body Shop is one of my favourite stores ever. I received my first one of these products as a gift alongside miniature body wash and body lotion (all in the satsuma scent) and since then have purchased one for myself. The pots offer a generous amount of product, and the scent is very strong yet not too overpowering. In the pot, they're coloured with links to the scent (e.g. the satsuma one is an orange colour and the strawberry is a reddish colour). I love these lip balms and for such a cheap price (and they're usually on a 3 for 2 offer), they're something you cannot say no to!

So that was my top 10 for under £10 post! If you want any posts like this in the future then let me know, specifying exactly what you want and I will try my best to sort it out for you.

Thank you!!!

Hello you beauties!

I received this box last week but decided to wait until today to upload it because I thought you might all be overwhelmed with 3 beauty box reviews in a row!

This is a fairly new beauty box to the beauty box market (I think they are pretty much new for this year) and this is the first ever box of theirs that I have. 

They promise to send you 5 full sized products every month, which is completely different to most other beauty boxes, which only usually send you 1 or 2 full sized products and many travel and sample products. This box also sends you products mainly from high end brands, with bareMinerals being featured in a lot of the boxes and brands like Mac, NARS and Tarte have also been featured too. 

Now can you see why I got so excited about this box!? And trust me, it didn't disappoint!

Price of box is £18.99 per month. And £2.50 P&P

There are 5 products in this month's box

This box is worth £86

The brands included in this box are: Claire's, Bellapierre, Korres, bareMinerals and Mac

Claire's Nail Polish (Rating 4/5) (3 shades for £3 each)

Okay, so I know this isn't a high end brand, but they do make up for it by giving you 3 of these, so it brings up the value of the box. So really, you're getting 7 full sized items, not 5. But they classed these as just 1 item. I am not disappointed with these at all. I have used Claire's nail polishes before so I am actually excited to use these as I know they will be great quality. They are great shades too - one being a base coat shade and two being top coats. The base shade is plainly called 'Silver' and is exactly that. It's a beautiful glittery silver and I feel like this will be perfect for Christmas time.
Now, the top coats are called 'Gold Glitter' and 'Rainbow Sparkles' which, again, are self-explanatory. I don't usually try top coats like these very often as I only wear nail polish a couple of days before taking it off because of work. But I definitely will be using these in the future. I feel like the 'Gold Glitter' looks like gold confetti and the 'Rainbow Sparkles', as my mum described it, looks like 'hundreds and thousands'. I would definitely recommend that you buy these products.

Korres Eye Primer (Rating   ) (£15)

I am new to eye primers - I haven't really used them until just recently. I am really excited for this as I want to know what works and what doesn't. From my first swatch of this product, I found it to blend well and the apricot undertone gives this product an amazing colour. Part of me is hoping that this will be better than my favourite GOSH Prime & Refresh Eye Primer, and if it is I will probably buy this Korres one again. £15 isn't bad for an eye primer after all, is it!?

Mac Patent Polish Lip Pencil (Rating 4/5) (£17.50)

This is probably the product I am most excited about from this box as I have been desperate to try Mac products ever since I really got into make-up. The shade I received is 'Hopelessly Devoted' and it is probably not a shade I would've chosen myself, as it is a very bright fuchsia tone (and these do not usually suit me). But because it is not a lipstick but more of a lip balm/lip gloss, it means I can have it quite sheer coverage and build it up as I wish. I will probably experiment with this and probably use this for a night out (like for a drink with friends or a family meal). It is highly pigmented and very glossy, which is brilliant. I will definitely treat myself to something like in the future. 

Bellapierre Kabuki Brush (Rating 4/5) (£22.50)

Admittedly, I already have a Kabuki brush that I bought from Wilko's for like £4 which is amazing quality but it was nice to receive a brush from such an amazing brand like Bellapierre. The handle on this one is a lot smaller than on my other one though, so I will probably use this as a buffer for my foundation. The brush is extremely soft and the bristles look beautiful, with white tips. I am excited to be using this regularly in the future and I may consider buying brushes from this brand again. 

bareMinerals READY blush (Rating 4.5/5) (£22)
This is probably my favourite product in the whole box (hence why I left it until last) and I have been keen to try bareMinerals products ever since I heard of the brand. I received the shade 'Whisper' which is a very neutral, beige colour and is perfect for me. I do risk pinks sometimes but usually I stick to my nude tones. I have never owned a nude blusher before though, so I am excited to try this out. This product is extremely pigmented and easily blendable if necessary. I would probably buy this product again (despite the hefty price tag!).

And that's it! That's my first ever 'Look Incredible' beauty box review done and, I must admit, this has to be my most favourite box ever that I am subscribed too. Always saving the best until last! 

I'll be back on Wednesday with another beautiful beauty post!

Thank you!!

Hello you beauties!

I am back with another exciting beauty box review! This time it is my second 'My Little Box' review, which I have been excited for ever since I received my first box!r 

Although I've not had loads of success with the April box - I haven't had much luck with the plants and I didn't really like the nail polish - I am very excited about this box because of the concept of it. Unlike other beauty boxes, this box doesn't only contain beauty items but also includes 2 lifestyle items each month - and is really cheap at only £14.95 per month!

Price of box is £11 per month. And £3.95 P&P

There are 5 products in this month's box

If all full-sized products, this box would be worth c.£99

The brands included in this box are: My Little Beauty, Baija Paris and Courreges

Ring (£12) (Rating 4.5/5)

This is the first product I saw in this month's box and was super excited to see what was inside the beautiful little box. I never expected to see a ring in this box!
I don't usually wear rings as I struggle to find ones  that fit (and I usually forget to wear them everyday!) but I have worn this ring four times now (for the four days I have owned it). It's a bit tight on my ring finger and a bit loose on my pinky finger (which the fitting is always a risk for them sending products like this) but I have made it work. I would definitely recommend this ring, the leaf design is so cute and perfect for the coming spring months! I probably wouldn't pay £12 for this though, as I'd be able to find something similar at Claire's Accessories for much cheaper.

Turban (£11) (Rating 3/5)

This again is a beautiful product that I am happy to see in this month's box. The design is very pretty and spring like and it is a decent size. I have been looking to experiment with products like this for a while now, as I don't usually wear hair accessories. I love how they give you 4 examples on how to wear it on the back of the box, but I personally don't think it'd work as a bracelet on me. I'll just wear it however I see fit, and if all else fails, I'll just wear it around the house on my pyjama days just to keep my hair out of my face. This product is amazing and I would definitely pay £11 in the future for this.

Now onto the gorgeous bag of beauty products!

This month's 3 beauty products come in the normal cute-ly designed drawstring bag and these will be perfect to house gifts for friends and also to use for travel products in the future. 

Baija Paris Huile Croisiere Celadon Body Oil Green Tea and Jasmine (Rating 4/5) (Given: 30ml. Full Size: 50ml for 16.90 Euros)

This box makes me happy, as they don't seem to overload with creams like the Look Fantastic beauty box is. I have never used body oil before so I was excited to use this. The smell isn't great - it smells too strong and bitter, but once applied, it calms the scent down and this is then when you can smell the floral scent of the lavender. At first, I wasn't too sure about this oil and didn't think I was going to use it again... but now that I'm getting used to the scent, I can see myself using this product up quite quickly... it's great! I would recommend it. 

Courrèges La Fille de L'Air (Rating 4/5) (Given: Generous sample size. Full size: 50ml for 69 Euros) 

I was really excited to receive this perfume in this month's box, as I'm always keen to sample new scents (although I probably own enough perfumes and body mists at the moment as it is). This has an extremely floral scent which is actually very strong. It's great that the smell lingers, as it means that I didn't have to use much throughout the day. However, it found that even the littlest bit of this was extremely strong and I developed a headache from this throughout the day - oh well, I guess that's just me.

This is a beautiful scent to own though and, even though it is extremely expensive, I would definitely recommend this product if you can afford it.

My Little Beauty Bain de Soleil (Rating 4/5) (75ml for £8)

I actually love the idea of this product! Anyone who knows me well knows that I am an extremely pale person so anything to help me out if definitely welcomed. I did a swatch on my hand to test it out first, and it actually worked really well! Didn't work that quickly on my legs, but of course that's not what it promises. It promises a gradual tan, which is what it is giving. After two uses I can already see a difference. And it's not the tacky fake tan that you often see but is more of a sun-kissed look... and I think it looks brill and illuminating. I will definitely be using this product up. 

I really do love this box so much - I love it so much more than I loved last month's box, and you all know how much I loved last month's box. I definitely cannot wait for June already!

I'll be back soon and hopefully it will be with my first 'Look Incredible' beauty box review!

Thank you!!
