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,

Avon Anew Vitale skincare set review:

Hey guys! How are you all doing? I was unsure of what to post next, so I thought I'd talk about my experience with this range.

I picked up the sample sizes as the full size products are quite pricey in my opinion, and I didn't want to fork out money and end up not liking the product. I got this set for £10 and it was weeks ago, yet I still have quite a bit left. I think the original price was around £22 or £24, something like that anyway. I personally would not have bought it at full price, because your getting only two weeks worth.



Face wash/cleanser:

I absolutely love this face wash, my skin has never ever felt so soft. I literally stroke my face when I've used it. My skin feels really fresh afterwards and not dry or tight at all. I will definitely be buying the full size. It smells nice, but if you don't like scented products then steer clear from this, although its not too over-whelming. Its meant to lather up really well on your skin, but it doesn't much at all on mine (not sure if that's just me). 10/10.

Day cream:

I've used this the least out of everything as I'm not a huge fan of putting moisturiser on before my makeup, as it tends to slip and slide everywhere with having oily skin anyway. But it feels nice on the skin, sinks in really well, seems to brighten up my complexion a little bit. The smell is rather strong, so as I said before if you really don't like scents, then this may be a little bit much. I may not purchase this one, even though I do like it. And at around £25 a pop, I need to really want it. 9/10.

Night cream:

I use this a lot, every night without fail. It sinks into my skin really well, and I love it as part of my skincare routine. I do definitely see a difference with using these products on my skin, I may have found my holy grail skincare. I get breakouts regardless, but this has definitely not made it any worse, in fact my skins been behaving quite well. 9.10.

Eye cream:

I still have not come across an eye cream I love, or think works really well. At first this seemed to do absolutely nothing, but I carried on using it regardless, and after a few weeks I noticed a difference. My eyes seem less puffy, as I have allergies and other things that contribute to it. This is a full size product, and I definitely will be repurchasing when it runs out. 9/10.

Sorry I haven't posted this past week or so, I've been very busy and would have liked this to go up sooner! Have any of you tried this? Let me know in the comments below,

Garnier Micellar cleansing water:

Hey there, fancy seeing you here! I'm back with the Micellar water review.


So a while back you saw that I tried out the L'Oreal Micellar water. I saw that Garnier also had a version, which had more product for cheaper. Naturally I had to try it out being the bargain that it is. I've always liked Garnier products.


About the product:
  • the bottle contains 400ml which is meant to give you up to 200 uses
  • suitable for sensitive skin
  • can be used on face, eyes and lips
  • it contains no perfume and is hypoallergenic
  • its dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested
  • its an easy and effective way to remove makeup and impurities 
  • soothes and hydrates the skin
  • you don't need to rinse the product off
  • the solution works like a magnet which capture and lift away dirt
  • no need to rub harshly on the skin
  • suitable for all skin types

Here are my thoughts on the product:
  • There's not really any difference between this one and the L'Oreal one
  • you get more for your money. Definitely prefer the larger bottle
  • it removes makeup and impurities
  • has a lovely tingly feeling on the skin leaving it refreshed
  • feels nice & gentle on the skin and makes you feel squeaky clean
  • if your patient and let the cotton pad rest over your eyes for a few seconds before wiping, it makes it easier to get it off. Takes a few attempt's for me (to get all traces), but its really effective compared to other eye makeup removers I've tried. No need to rub dramatically and tug on the delicate eye area.
  • I found the L'Oreal version comes out the bottle much quicker, whereas you can get more control from the Garnier bottle
  • again there's no scent to it
  • I prefer to have an all in one makeup remover as its just easy and quick to use, there's no messing around
  • I will be sticking to this one due to the size and price
  • I would rate this 10/10, its fab

Thanks for stopping by, and I shall be returning shortly with another review

Very first blog post:

Hello guys! Wanted to finally start uploading on here, and thought I'd start by doing a review as its short and sweet and a great introduction. I'm not 100% on how to use this site yet so bare with me =]


Feel free to ask any questions related to my blog posts, I will be happy to get back to you! 





I'll start by talking about the batiste dry shampoo as it is a must have for me, due to having oily hair. I usually have to wash my hair every other day or on the 3rd day if I'm lucky. So in between I spritz this little beauty into my hair and it makes me look half decent for the day.
It's good for cutting back on grease, and putting volume into the hair, as my hair type is fine and can be limp at times. I would recommend this and rate it as a 8/10. The vo5 volume one, I think its called 'plump me up' if I remember correctly. It has added collagen - simply amazing, I have recently tried that and it definitely does increase volume. That one is my favorite one by far and that would get a 9 1/2/10.

Olay anti-wrinkle  nature fusion day lotion is next up: this is really good actually, as it hasn't broke me out -I have oily acne prone skin so I have to be careful what moisturisers I put on.
This is perfect for me, makes your skin feel really clean and tingly, and isn't over moisturising and greasy, sinks into the skin easily. Quite impressed with this and I got it on offer. Bargain! 8/10. 

Nivea 2in 1 cleanser: I think this is great as its for normal to combination skin, so suites mine fine. I haven't had any problems with it in terms of breakouts, it removes makeup effectively and I feel clean and refresh afterwards. I just massage it into my skin and wipe off with cotton pads, usually the double sided from superdrug/boots/tesco as they don't fluff.

Vitamin E range from superdrug/and boots:
I purchased the eye makeup remover from superdrug's own range, and it does the job ok, doesn't burn or sting, and its gentle for the eye area. I would rate this a 7/10. 

The eye cream and face cream are from boots: the eye cream is quite good although my eyes do water and sting a bit, so I tend to put this on at bedtime to stop any from irritating my eyes and its fine then. I haven't really noticed much difference from using it in terms of dark circles etc but I only wanted it to moisturise.  6/10.
The face cream is quite rich, and if I apply it too much or too often it does break me out slightly, so I tend not to use it much. If I feel my skin is a tad thirsty I apply it at night and in the morning my skin is really smooth and soft. 5/10. 

Tweezers: these came as a pack of two from ASDA, one is for precise plucking with a pointed tip, these are my favorite as they are better to grip the tiny hairs that can be missed. They are also really cute as they are pink with tiny white polka dots. 8/10.

That's it for my skincare, don''t really need to go into detail about deodorant =] thank you for taking the time to read my review and hope you liked it. <3
