Winter Favourite's

My Current Winter Favourite's


Oh what a winter this has been! I am still considering it to be winter even though it is March (Scotland eh?).  Who would have thought that we would have more snow in March than we did in December?  During this cold winter I have found some new and some old favourite's.

Beauty Favourite's

Dose of Colours - Lipgloss

Dose of colours lipgloss The Winter has absolutely killed my lips so using lipgloss has became a new thing for me.  I bought this from Beautybay on a whim but I can honestly say that I love it and will be buying more.  Obviously it doesn't last all day as it is a gloss but it wear off evenly and still leave a nice hint of colour.


Bondi sands and UTAN & Tone
Bondi Sands - Gradual Tanning Foam & UTAN & Tone Facial Tanning Mist 

I hate winter in general. It's cold and wet and cold. Yes I said cold twice.  But being tanned seems to make everything better.  I don't want to be super tanned when I have no nights out planned. A nice glow is ample enough for me.  Bondi Sands is my go-to tan for both overnight and gradual tan.  I prefer this to St.Moritz which just doesn't work for me anymore.
UTAN & Tone Facial Tanning Mist is slightly newer to me but I'm in love.  I first seen Jamie Genivieve mention it in a video, so its one of they items that Youtube made me buy. I spray it on my face either at night after moisturising or in the morning before make up.  It gives my face a faint golden glow and it;s never patchy.

First Aid Beauty - Coconut Skin Smoothie Priming Moisturiser
First aid beauty primer
I've always had mega oily skin, well until this winter, because I've never had dryer skin I did not have any primers that would work for me.  I bought this after hearing raving review and I'm so glad that I did.  This primer has a glow and makes my skin look amazing even before putting on foundation.  It moisturises without make me look oily.  I think it would work for both oily and dry skin.




Happiness planner Lifestyle & Food Favourite's

Happiness Planner 

This diary has made me more motivated in my life.  I use this on a daily basis and also helps with scheduling my university homework and reports.  The daily quotes on every page is a nice touch and I would urge anyone that has a busy lifestyle or anyone that struggles with routines or schedules to buy one of these or at least something similar. Each day comes with a to-do list, a schedule, the main focus of the day, what you want for tomorrow, exercise you have done that day and what meals you expect to eat.

Justine's Protein Cookies

I am on my third box of these.  I just can't get enough of them and they are also low in carbs, which makes it even better as I find it hard not to over eat when it comes to carbs.  I buy these off amazon and I prefer the raspberry and white chocolate flavour.  I would really recommend these to anyone that is wanting to cut their carbs down but still want to enjoy a nice treat.

Bodbox - Monthly Subscription 

I love receiving my Bodbox monthly subscription.  I eagerly await my subscription every month and I am never disapointed with what I receive in my box.  I highly recommend this to any regular gym goer. (pictured hers is my November 2017 box)

Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation - Review

Huda Beauty Faux Filter Foundation Packaging Foundation Wear Test  I had been wanting to try the Huda Beauty Faux Filter foundation since its release but I thought I would wait until the hype died down before deciding whether to purchase.  I purchase the foundation off of Cult Beauty where it is £32.  The colour I matched myself to is Chai, which is a really good match for my fake tan. Packaging The packaging is really nice and looks professional.  It is bulkier than Mac and Estee Lauder foundation but that does not bother me too much.  The packaging looks glass but is actually a thicker plastic but that is also fine with me as I usually drop things.  And the best thing is that it has a PUMP!! Application  I used a Beauty Blender to apply this foundation and it gave it a flawless finish.  I feel like using a brush may make this foundation more cakey than it needs to be.  Two pumps is enough to do my whole face (a little goes a l...

My Top Products of 2017

2017 was a great year for me, but not for my bank account. Whoops! Here are my top beauty products of 2017 in no particular order: Cover FX - Custom Enhancer Drops - Candlelight Even though these may seem pretty pricey to some, they last a very long time.  Currently I mix these with my foundation or apply before my foundation to give me a nice glow. Mac - Highlight - Double Gleam This highlighter goes with every look and looks awesome on the brow bone. Physicians Formula - Butter Bronzer - Light This is easily the best bronzer that I have ever tried. I'm very pale at the moment so the light shade is pretty accurate for my skin tone at the moment but I will definitely be buying the darker shade for the summer.  It says it in the name it goes on just like butter, no blotchiness which I sometimes get with bronzers. Kevyn Aucoin - Sculpting Powder - Light I accidentally received this in a BeautyBay order I made. And it was the best accident ever !! I do not thi...

January - Beauty Haul

My plan for January was to save money after spending so much at Christmas time.  As you can see from the title this did not happen.  Although I did not spend as much as I normally would. Violet Voss - Hashtag palette  Now, how beautiful is this?  When I first opened up the box I was unsure whether I would actually use it or not.  I am happy to tell you guys that I LOVE IT !! It is so pigmented and the colours are absolutely GORGEOUS !! This is my first Violet Voss palette so I wasn't sure what her palettes were usually like. Would I buy another Violet Voss palette? 100% yes! Sugarpill - Single Eyeshadow - Buttercupcake At the end of the month, after searching for weeks (maybe even months) I finally found the yellow eyeshadow I have been looking for.  I had never bought a Sugarpill single eyeshadow before, but the pigment is amazing and the colour is just what I was looking for.  This eyeshadow is larger than my most of my other sin...
