• With a soft fragrance, it comes in practical packaging that is perfect for your handbag or to take on your travels.

Weekly Pamper Routine 2019 #Blogmas2019

I always give myself a little pamper on a Sunday, it's a time for me to rewind and treat my skin a little better, this is also when I try new face masks for my blog as well as other products. So I have wrote down my normal step by step routine however there was a few changes the week I took the photos so at the end I will do a quick run through on what did happen.

Candle

I always start off by lighting a candle and of course I using my own range of candles, so if you didn't know this but I own an online store called Maude & Noah. This candle I was burning was a trial of my candle called Fairy Dust and that is the reason why there is no label on it.
Product I used: Maude & Noah Fairy Dust Candle

February 2019 Favourites

This month has been slightly stressful so if this blog post seems a bit rushed I apologise.

BEAUTY

Barry M Nail Polish in Cashmere
I can finally paint my nails and decided that I would treat myself to a new nail polish and saw this new shade from Barry M and had to have it.

Weekly Pamper Routine 2018 #Blogmas2018

Most Sunday‘s (9 out of 10) I give myself a little pampering, it’s my way to refresh myself for the new week. I have decided to share it with you and also to recommend some products I love using and show you how some Sunday’s I do blog posts like face mask reviews. What's funny is I am working on Sunday so I gave myself a pampering on Friday so I could put it up onto this blog.

Hair Mask

No sooner I wake up I take my hair out of whatever updo I have going on and put a hair mask on and leave it on pretty much all day.

Product Used: Garnier Ultimate Blends The Enriching Nourishing Hair Mask

Nail Polish Collection 2018 #Blogmas2018

Fact about me, I am addicted to nail polish and had 276 nail polishes at the beginning of the year but I cleared out a lot because my current job doesn't allow me to paint my nails.

I have stored my nail polish on top of my makeup drawers and thought I would show you them now before I redo my room and have a different way to organise them. What I have done is put them in brands on this blog post so you can see what I have but at the beginning I have put the treatments, basecoats, topcoats etc together.

GIVEAWAY: Christmas 2018 #Blogmas2018

To kick off Blogmas I have put together a Christmas giveaway, giving away a few of my favourite products plus a few interesting products that I am testing out myself (you get new versions).

WHAT'S IN THE GIVEAWAY:

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #5: Barry M vs. Rimmel

I have quite a few nail polishes in my collection and saw these two nail polishes next to each other and thought they looked like a dupe but polishes can dry differently when applied so would put it to the test.

Before applying the nail polishes I prepped my nails with my favourite base coat; which is Ciaté Nail Super Hero.

BATTLE OF THE DUPES #1: Barry M vs. Sinful Colors

For the month of June I plan to do blog posts every Saturday finding dupes for either expensive or limited edition products. Now when I test out products such as todays post I do half and half, I don't apply one nail polish on one hand and the other is the other polish what I do is alternate nails starting with Barry M then Sinful Colors then Barry M then Sinful Colors (I do it alphabetical).

Before applying the nail polishes I prepped my nails with my favourite base coat which is Ciaté Nail Super Hero.

FOTD & OOTD: Jacinda's Baby Shower

I wanted to do a few fashion posts so thought I would show my outfit for Jacinda's baby shower plus my face and hair products that I used. I am not a pro makeup artist, nail technician or stylist so bare with me if you think something is wrong. I have also linked everything to the relevant areas if they are still available.
