Cosmopolitan makeup sponge review:

Hey guys, back with another quick review!


I picked this up on offer from Superdrug a while back and I've been testing it out ever since. I absolutely love it, and would not be without it now. I haven't put a new picture of it up due to it being covered in foundation lol but you can see it well enough through the packet.

  • Its super easy to use
  • Very quick to use, my base is sorted in no time and its less messy
  • When water is added it becomes unbelievably soft and squidgy + larger
  • I use this mainly with the 3 in 1 max factor foundation and it looks perfect, its the best foundation to use it with that I have tried. It definitely provides an airbrush finish when used with that particular foundation. I think its due to the texture of the foundation as its light and has a more liquid consistency. 
  • I just pop some foundation on my hand, dab the large bottom end onto it, and dab it allover my face. The pointy end is good for applying foundation around the nose, and concealer around the eye area
  • I will be buying this again definitely and would recommend. 9/10.
That's all for this review, let me know if you have used this sponge and your thoughts on it,

B.Replenished facial oil review:

Hey guys! I thought I would do a review today! Lets get cracking!






I got this from Superdrug a decent while ago, in one of my hauls from the start of June! I'd been wanting to try a facial oil for a long time, so chose this one as it was on offer. The aim of this is to give an antioxidant boost and includes vitamin E and C, Rosehip oil, Argan oil, and Crambe seed oil. 

I had a few dry patches on my skin, particularly on my forehead and no amount of exfoliating and moisturising was doing the trick. However this did, my dry patches literally vanished after around 2 applications. That was impressive, and it made me look a bit more glowy. 

My skin looks a little better after using this up until now, it just overall looks and feels better. It does nothing to help with my spots ( but didn't make them worse), but my skin looks more evened out. It looks a little smoother. I haven't got any wrinkles on my face, so cant comment in that respect, but I did mention in my haul that it was aimed towards people in their 30's and 40's so maybe it does help with this.  

It has a smell to it, but I wouldn't say it was perfume as such, more natural smelling from the oils used.  

On the website it states that it helps calm stressed skin, protects against environmental free radical damage, boosts skins antioxidant levels, offers 12 hour hydration, doesn't block pores and is suitable for all skin types. It definitely offers hydration, and hasn't blocked my pores, and I love to slather it on lol. I use this every night after removing my makeup, before going to bed. I wake up with lovely hydrated dewy skin, but with no residue. 

I love this oil and would definitely recommend if you are looking for an oil that will help hydrate your skin, especially if its dry, and are looking for something with plenty of good stuff packed into it. This is also cruelty free and is classed as vegan, so that's also a major plus side I think. I adore Superdrug for their cruelty free ranges. Link here: B.Replenished facial oil . Its still on offer by the way. 

Anyway that is all for today, if you have an questions leave them below and I will be sure to get back to you, + let me know if you have tried any face oils and your thoughts on them. See you all soon,

Another Boohoo purchase:

Hey guys, hope you all had a fab weekend! I couldn't resist but to purchase another pair of shoes, particularly because with my last order I got 20% off my next order!






I thought why not pick up a black pair, because who doesn't need a black pair of shoes? so now I have a light pair and a dark pair, and will get some use out of these even when it gets colder, throw on a pair of black tights and I'm off! I did really like the white ones as well, but I think that would be a little excessive lol! Here is the link: Kia cleated sole fisherman .

Hope your Monday's aren't too grim, and see you again shortly,

UPDATE: These shoes are so comfy to wear, no rubbing and room to breathe!

Boohoo purchase:

Helloooo! I've been after these shoes for a while now, and only just got my hands on a pair as they sell out really quickly!







Ah just look at them, I love them! So beautiful to look at, yet comfy. Stylish and comfy is something I aim for if possible! I was instantly attracted to them because they have some height yet your feet aren't all bent in them, causing your foot to arch dramatically. I haven't worn them out yet, but I'm excited to. Perfect for everyday or nights out. They are also very light weight, they look bulky but they wont weigh you down.

The first time they sold out I was gutted, not sure if they will come back in or not but they still have a few size 7's left and all sizes in the pink version. There's plenty of similar options available. Here is the link: Kia Cleated sole fisherman  . I have my eye on a few more. 

If you are looking for these particular ones, these are very similar only they have material around the toe area: Bernadette cleated sole gladiator  . Happy shopping! 

Thanks for stopping by,
