Nail polish colour wheel - a good way to find the best polish for you

If you're like me, then you will probably have hundreds (that is maybe a slight over exaggeration) of nail polishes that you have either never opened or have had them for so long you're not too sure what state they are in. (Quick tip: if you put your nail vanishes in the fridge it helps them stay in their normal liquid form, rather then clumping up and becoming unusable). 

Alberto VO5 Smoothly Does It Tame & Shine Spray beauty review


Using heat styling tools day in, day out can majorly affect your hair, it can cause it to become dry, damaged and have a straw-like texture. Everyone, no matter what their hair type is, should always use heat defence protective products before applying heat on to their hair - there are all kinds of different products that protects hair against heat whether it's shampoo and conditioner, styling spray or just a cream or spray made especially for hair protection.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel


I got this shower gel in a huge Soap & Glory set I was given for Christmas, I have been using it every day since and I am still not even half way down the bottle. Soap & Glory is known for their big bottles, high moisture and witty product names (my favourite is Sexy Mother Pucker) and this product has all of that.

The Body Shop Oil Burner and Oils

Okay so I know that oil burners are not beauty products but I just had to blog about it. After having an obsession with scented candles for a while but then getting annoyed after having to keep buying so many of them because I used them so much, I was given this oil burner from The Body Shop for Christmas with 3 different scented oils; Vanilla & Tonka Bean, Green Tea & Lemon and Aloe & Soft Linen.

Collection 200 Waterproof Fast Stroke Eyeliner


Eyeliner has always been one of my favourite beauty essentials as it can completely change a look and can be used to create many different looks. Not long ago I used to be a big fan of pencil eyeliner for my casual looks and I applied it under my eyes (from outer corner to middle to the eye) as it created a smoky and 'fierce' look. Soon after, I realised that pencil eyeliner melts quickly (especially under the eye) and there were many occasions were I unknowingly had black marks down my face - that beauty trend of mine soon came to a stop and pencil eyeliners no longer have place in my makeup bag.

Nivea Daily Essentials Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes for Dry & Sensitive Skin

After a busy couple of weeks revising, I am finally back to doing what I enjoy... blogging. I have been wanting to blog about the new facial wipes I have been using for a while but I just didn't get round to it before my exams. For about a year now I have realised slight red and dry patches appearing on my face, like many other girls my age. After my sister noticing my dry skin on my forehead, she recommended Nivea's Daily Essentials Facial Cleansing Wipes for Dry & Sensitive skin as she also had the same problem when she was my age. As my usual facial wipes were Tesco's (some people feel that cheaper facial wipes are sometimes kinder to their skin), I thought I would 'upgrade' to Nivea.
