Sunglasses Hut Lens Cleaner

Monday, 31 March 2014



If you wear glasses like me, you'll often find they'll get dirty again 2 mins after cleaning them!!! Especially if you are a make up wearer.

That's why I always rely on this bad boy to keep them clean and boy does it clean! It leaves your lens' so clean that it feels like you're not even wearing any glasses. And I'm being honest!

It comes in a little pouch and you can even choose between a range of colours! The micro fibre cloth is re-washable and is ever so soft and gentle.



You can see I love this stuff... I have two!!!! And the best thing about it is that you get free refills!!!! So when you've run out, just pop into your nearest Sunglasses Hut store and ask the girls for a free refill... Easy as 1, 2, 3!!!!

Phyto Lip Shine

Saturday, 29 March 2014

I recently popped into Coccon Beauty at Heathrow's Terminal 1 for a quick browse  to see what was new on the shelves and because I am a massive lover of nude lipsticks, I always like to be on top of what's out.

I've always been quite intrigued and curious about the brand Sisley but their prices are not exactly purse friendly although I must admit the products are to die for from what I have read. 

I remember reading an article on nude lipsticks and remember a Sisley lipstick being mentioned but couldn't remember which one it was. The lady at the counter 'Maddy' who was amazing told me exactly which one I was on about and how this lipstick had sold out worldwide!!! She knows her stuff!!! "Everyone is ranting on about how amazing this lipstick is" 

When she showed me the tester it just seemed like any other ordinary lip balm in a lipstick form. The colour I must admit is adorable. A baby matt pink... When she showed me a swatch on the skin, the glow and sheen was to die for, and then the packaging just blew me away!!!!

Thankfully I grabbed the last one. The Phyto Lip Shine is not just any ordinary lipstick. It is a glossy ultra-luminous lip treatment and boy does it do the job! They first time I used it on my lips, literally after a few minutes my lips felt amazing, plumped and full of life! It leaves such a wonderful sheen on the lips to the point I cannot explain. It's extremely light and so nourishing and lasts!


How beautiful is this packaging? It comes in a little velvet pocket that I absoulutly love. Getting this little baby out of your make up bag is just out of this world!!! 



How adorable is this lipstick? I just love it!!!!! A lipstick and a treatment in one!

Thanks Maddy!!!

So I have just ordered this lip balm which everyone is ranting and raving about and I cannot wait to try it out! If you're someone who has really chapped lips like mine, then you will try anything!!!

Stay tuned!!! 


Nail Polish by H&M



So when it comes to nail polish, I'm always concerned about three things...

1. The drying time
2. The application
3. The lasting time before it starts to chip

I hate having to wait around for my nail polish to dry! I'm a paint and go girl! And because of my job, I always have to have my nails perfectly groomed and for that I rely on my favourite nail polish of all time! Nail Polish by H&M!!!

It does everything in one bottle... Perfect colour (nude), perfect application whether it's 1 coat or 2... Even 3!!!! And perfect drying time!!!

I cannot stress how amazing this nail polish is and how beautiful the colour is! If you like your nude colours then this is definitely the one to have in your collection. I can always rely on this little bottle!!! The easy application is fenomenal. The brush is perfect! Not too thick and not too thin! 

And let me tell you how long it lasts... It lasts and lasts!!! You'll find that chipping will come after a week or so... My nail polish will last me about 9-10 days! And I am constantly using my hands in my job and then the house chores too!!! 

Now the worst thing is, it's hardly ever in stock, so whenever I'm popping into H&M, I end up buying the whole rack of them!!!

The colour??? Pink Mist!!!! It's absoulutly gorgeous!!!!

Pick up a bottle at your nearest H&M!

BOTANICS Ionic Clay Mask

Friday, 21 March 2014

So I recently searched the web for the top 10 clay masks, and this one amazingly appeared! So I decided to give it a go.

Enriched with clarifying willowbark, this mask is suitable for all skin types but particularly good for oily skin to combination skin. This face mask actively removes impurities and deeply cleanses.
I was intrigued to find out what the feel of it on my skin was like but mostly how my skin felt after. 
You must shake it before applying so that it mixes well together. It's really runny and needs to be applied straight away on the face. I feel because it's so runny, it doesn't apply thick, but you can always build it up.

When the clay mask is drying, you can really feel the skin tightening. It really feels like the clay is drawing out all the impurities. Also another thing is that when the mask is drying, you can see the oil from the pores come above the skins surface. It really is amazing!

The only bad thing is that after a while (few days of use), it starts to smell... And really girls, do we really want this when relaxing with our clay mask on? I think not!!

Apart from that I have to say it's an amazing product!!! It gets rid of any redness and really does draw out all the yukky stuff... 

The hydrating properties of this mask leave skin feeling clearer, softer, smoother and less oily without over drying the skin.

And another great thing I must stress about is that it is travel size 100ml. So it's perfect as a holiday essential!

Treat yourself to a great product! 

Available at Boots £6.99

Fighting my flu with GINGER HONEY & LEMON TEA

Friday, 6 January 2012

So for the last three days I have been at home in bed ill with a terrible flu, I haven't been able to go to work, my whole body aches, my joints kill, my head pounds... you name it!!! I have been taking Day and Night Nurse tablets but because I am someone who has a really weak stomach, and doesn't do strong medication, natural home remedies are a must for me... so after doing my reading and gathering up as much info as I can, I found that making a tea with the following ingrediants really does wonders!

GINGER - HONEY - LEMON

It's amazing how good much goodness it has done for me... And not only that... the benefits that it also has for other things are amazing! Here are 8 benefits of GINGER TEA

1. Impedes Motion Sickness
Ginger tea can soothe nerves and prevent vomiting, as well as eradicate headaches and migraines. It also keeps you from being nauseous during a trip, so drink a cup of ginger tea before setting off on your travels.



2. Combats Stomach Discomfort
Ginger tea is ideal in assisting digestion, thereby improving
food absorption and avoiding possible tummy aches from too much food intake. Unnecessary belching can also be thwarted by ginger tea. What’s more, ginger tea enhances your appetite when you’re feeling bloated, by helping to release gastric acids that aid in digestion.

3. Reduces Inflammation
Ginger tea can ease inflammation of the joints, which is commonly referred to as rheumatoid arthritis. It is also effective in alleviating tired, sore muscles and joints. A warm ginger tea soak can lessen swelling and puffiness. If you have athlete’s foot, ginger tea is recommended as a foot soak to lessen the painful burning sensation that comes with itching.

4. Fights Common Respiratory Problems
Drinking ginger tea is recommended if you’re suffering from common respiratory diseases such as cold and cough. Ginger aids in loosening up phlegm and expanding your lungs, so you can recover quickly from difficulty in breathing. It also helps appease allergies and constant sneezing due to hay fever.

5. Encourages Normal Blood Circulation
Consuming a cup of ginger tea can help improve blood flow, as well as help prevent chills, fever and excessive sweating. The active components of ginger, such as minerals and amino acids, help make the blood flow smoothly, preventing the onset of cardiovascular disease.

6. Remedies Menstrual Discomfort
If you are a woman suffering from menstrual cramps, try placing a hot towel drenched in ginger tea on your uterine area to overcome the pain and relax the muscles. Drinking a cup of ginger tea can also provide a soothing effect.

7. Strengthens Immunity
Ginger tea has antioxidants that help improve the immune system. Drinking a cup of ginger tea every day can also help foil potential risks of a stroke by inhibiting fatty deposits from clogging the arteries. Ginger has also been proven successful in lowering cholesterol levels and preventing cancer.

8. Relieves Stress
Taking a whiff of ginger tea can help improve your mood and give you a sunny disposition. It leaves you feeling refreshed and calm, and if you’re having a bad day, all those negative vibes will dissipate. Ginger tea is a remarkable stress reliever because of its comforting and relaxing scent.
