The Natural Collection Lip Colour

In the past, I've used the natural collection's pressed powders and cover up sticks - And I have to say I have been left very impressed. For a budget brand, I have to say they set the standard pretty high. Which was why I was so excited when I saw the Sheer Natural Lip Colours in my local boots. If I'm honest I didn't even know they sold lipsticks as they're not for sale on the website!

With the big three for two event I picked up two lip colour's and a nail colour for just £3.98! Although these retail alone for a mere £1.99 and are well worth every penny in my opinion. I picked up sorbet and Lotus. Like Sorbet, Lotus is a 'Sheer nude lipstick for a beautifully natural look'. It's not the most pigmented or long lasting lip colour in the nor does it claim to be. I feel this lipstick isn't drying and is great if like me you're forever topping up your lips out of habit, I personally love the natural look it delivers and will be buying more. I'm currently looking out for the lovely 'Tea Rose'!

MUA Lipstick in 'Juicy'


I don't own many MUA products; In fact this lipstick is one of the three MUA products I do own.
I find it quite hard to source - I feel like their stands are pretty much abandoned in most Superdrug stores, not being restocked for days- Despite the quality of the make up being much greater than some of the more expensive brands on the high street.

After reading so much about 'Juicy', 'Nectar' and 'Bare'. I began searching for them every time I popped into a superdrug. Of course every time I looked there was no place for them, or simply none left in the stand. It wasn't until one of my sisters was pestering me for a red lipstick that I finally stumbled across 'Juicy' and 'Nectar' in the smallest superdrug store I have ever visited!

'Juicy' really lived up to the hype surrounding it - It's an fantastic colour at such a low price point!  I was really shocked by just how moisturising it is, honestly I found it had more moisture than the now famous Revlon lip butters! And did I mention the great staying power?! Possibly the best pound I have ever spent - I'm Definitely going back for more shades!

Tea Tree & Peppermint Scrub


Lately I've found myself falling in love with Superdrug's Tea Tree brand, Its reasonably priced and regularly on a two for £3.99 offer. I've been using the Facial Scrub as well as the Face wash and moisturiser for about a week now and thought it was about time I shared my thoughts on each individual product.

While browsing for a new scrub on the Superdrug website, I came across this one from the Tea Tree range - By this point I was already using the facial wash and moisturiser daily and was so impressed I thought I'd give the facial scrub a go. I'm happy I did. Prior to using the Scrub I had spotted a few blackheads creeping up around my chin area - which are pretty much nonexistent just a few uses on. Like the other Tea tree products you're meet with an automatic cooling sensation which leaves skin clean and smooth. The only potential issue with this product is the size - The 75ml tube feels more like a sample rather than a full size product, although you could ague that it works out £3.99 per 100ml of product which is pretty much average for a scrub.

Overall I like this product and I can see myself repurchasing in the future. You can pick up this Tea Tree & Peppermint Scrub in Superdrug stores for £2.99 or buy online - Here.

Gosh Lip Gloss in '0084'!


I'm sure if you've been into a Superdrug recently you'll have seen the Gosh sale. I've never been bothered by it until I took my younger sister along with me, who insisted on looking at every product on offer! While I liked the look of some of the eyeshadow palettes on sale, I knew I'd never get around to using them. So I opted for this peachy looking lip gloss for just £3.25.
I really like this lip gloss; the colour is that 'perfect peach' shade I'm always looking for and the staying power is amazing! It can be a little patchy - but nothing that cant be fixed with the use of a mirror.
I'd also like to take this chance to thank Miss LV for adding me to her blog roll (www.misslv.com)

I picked up sorbet and  Lotus (Post to come) and I'm extremely glad I did. Sorbet is a 'Sheer nude lipstick for a beautifully natural look'.

March Favourites!

I love Strawberries & Milkshake exfoliating shower smoothie | No7 Quick Thinking wipes | The Body Shop Wild Cherry body butter | Barry M nail paint in Peach Melba | Miss Sporty's Dr Balm | Rimmel London Lycra Pro in Orange Bliss | Tresemme Split mend intense recovery masque


I cant say this months favourites are too exciting, I spent half of the month ill and the other half studying for exams meaning I didn't get a chance to try out a lot of new products (Although I made up for that this weekend, Spending a ridiculous amount of money on beauty related products, Many reviews to come!)

Like all I love products, the Strawberries & Milkshake exfoliating shower smoothie didn't fail to impress me with its amazing scent. This cost around two pound so a complete bargain too!
The No7 Quick Thinking wipes were honestly a product I wanted to hate, because to me seven pound for a pack of wipes is just stupid. Annoyingly I loved them, I got in the habit of using them while I was ill, I love how moisturising they were on my skin!
I brought the Wild Cherry Body Butter a couple of days ago and its already a firm favourite read more of my thoughts- Here
 I never understood the hype about Barry M, While I loved their Effect polishes I couldn't get along with the two normal nail paints I had, That was until I tried this product. I can safely say I will be trying more colours.
Dr Balm honestly impressed me more than the famous lip butters (I got my hands on one yesterday and wasn't too impressed) which I will be reviewing soon. My favourite shade is 03 which I have currently missed placed, Read more on my thoughts and see more pictures- Here
When I first used the Lycra Pro range about a year ago I wasn't too impressed by the brush, But after giving it another go after the weekend I love it!
Lastly but not least, The BEST spilt end treatment I have ever tried- My hair felt amazing after trying this, I would recommend it to anyone with damaged hair

On a side note, I changed the banner today- What do you guys think?
