Beauty | Lush Butterball Bath Bomb Review


Lush Butterball Bath Bomb Review

One thing which I ensure I do every Winter is to take extra special care with my skin care as this is the time of year when my skin easily gets dry. I have my 'holy grail' products I use time and time again but also supplement my skin care routine with extra pops of nourishment to make sure my skin is as moisturised as possible without having to necessarily slather myself in tonnes of moisturiser - something which I don't like to do as I can't stand the heavy, sticky feeling you sometimes get when waiting for it to absorb.

One of the products I often turn to is the Lush Butterball ballistic, also known as the Butter Bear around Christmas time and it is one of my favourites.  This simple bath bomb looks plain to the eye but hidden inside is a combination of seven ingredients which works perfectly together to replenish the natural oils of your skin. 

The creamy cocoa butter is a key ingredient in this product as it helps to moisturise and soften the skin. It also smells amazing, a sweet mix of vanilla and toffee with a floral twist of ylang ylang. This combination works well to soothe the mind and nourish the body.

Although this bath bomb is small, it is full of a wonderful mix of ingredients which when released into the water seep out onto your skin. When the Butterball drops into the tub it fizzes a little and small droplets of oil escape and lay on the surface of the water, waiting to be absorbed into your skin. The smell is subtle and not overpowering but after your bath it lingers on your skin a little, including the nourishment which for me, lasted at least 24 hours.

Butterball is a product which could so easily go unnoticed in the store when rival products are bright and colourful but sometimes it's good to go back to basics. This bath bomb isn't one to be missed.

Review | Lush Twilight Shower Gel Review


Lush Twilight Shower Gel Review

Twilight is a shower gel I first came across a few years ago but I re-visited it recently due to loving Lavender scented products at the moment. If i'm honest I couldn't really remember what it was like but the deep purple tone gives the sense of richness which appealed with these dark, cold nights so this is the one I reached for.

I tend to prefer a creamy texture to gel but Twilight still feels light on the skin and I like that the scent isn't too overpowering.  You have a hint of lavender in the background but because this is teamed with a blend of sweet tonka and the more floral ylang ylang it results in a nice balance. I think even those are aren't a big fan of lavender may also like this product as it has an usual twist.

Twilight is especially nice to use in the evening as it is soothing and it definitely helps me to relax before bed. I was a little disappointed it doesn't lather up as much as other Lush shower gels I have tried but it didn't dry out my skin at all and I didn't have any reaction which is always something I worry about when using new products as I have sensitive skin.

Lush Twilight Shower Gel Review

Whilst I like Lush shower gels and do use them occasionally I find them a little pricey for what they are so it isn't something I would buy on a regular basis. More as a nice treat now and then.  Twilight is a shower gel I would definitely purchase again but it still doesn't beat Snow Fairy.. my all time favourite!

Twilight shower gel is only available to buy from Lush in gift sets such as the 'Relax' or from the Oxford Street Store £11.99 for 250g.

Lifestyle | Cuppanut Review


Cuppanut Tea Review


It's no secret I'm a big fan of coconut whether it's using coconut oil as a hair mask, drinking coconut water or purchasing products such as moistuisers and shampoo's with a coconut fragrance so when I heard a new brand of infusions called Cuppanut were due to be launched on the market last month I was very excited to try it.

This innovative product has been launched by International Superstar Gareth Gates, who first shot to fame in 2002 during the reality television series Pop Idol and has been following a very successful career ever since. As well as continuing to tour around the country performing at his own gigs he has taken lead roles in musical theatre including Joseph, Les Miserables, Legally Blonde and more recently Footloose (to name a few). Now the star has turned his hand to business and due to a combination of his healthy lifestyle and experimenting in his kitchen has come up with his new venture, Cuppanut.

Cuppanut Tea Review

Cuppanut infusions are bio degradable tea bags filled with real coconut which is mixed with a variety of different flavours. The first is 'Coconut' which is pure white in colour and smells delicious. The taste is slightly sweet, clean and full of flavour without being overpowering.  To make, you simply add water, no milk or sugar is needed.  Whenever I drink this one it reminds me of hot sunny days and holidays due to the tropical fragrance. Coconut is well known for it's health properties including, reducing cholesterol and protecting against heart disease and stroke so it is definitely something which is becoming more popular and people are starting to introduce it into their diets more and more.

The second flavour is 'Coconut and Cranberry' which is equally as tasty and looks beautiful too. When water is added to the tea bag it turns a pretty shade of pink (my fave yay!) and you can instantly smell this sweet, fruity mix.. it is divine. This is one of those drinks which is tempting to drink far too quickly because it smells so good and you risk burning your mouth but believe me it is worth the wait. 

The final infusion is 'Coconut, Ginger and Turmeric' which has a more earthy flavour and turns the water golden. Not being a fan of ginger I was a little skeptical about this one when I first tried it but I have been won over by this unusual combination of ingredients.  This warm spiced tea has a hearty flavour which I really enjoy drinking in the evening. Ginger and Turmeric is also said to possibly have anti inflammatory properties.

The packaging of the Cuppanut infusions is simple and 'natural' looking due to the use of simple brown cardboard for the boxes. I think this no fuss packaging suits the brand perfectly as these infusions are full of natural, pure, raw goodness and no artificial colourings or caffeine. They are cute, the font is modern and they would definitely jump out at me on a shelf. When I opened them up I was also surprised to see how pretty the teabags themselves look. Each flavour has its own distinct colour and I've never seen any other 'tea' products like it.. they almost look too nice to use!

The thing I love most about these teas is not only are they good for you but they taste amazing whether you have them hot or cold (they would be great in the Summer in pretty glasses, with ice and fruit e.g cranberries). The three flavours are also so different that no matter what your mood is there is a Cuppanut for you!

Cuppanut will be appearing on your highstreet in a popular retailer soon but if you can't wait that long take a look at the Cuppanut website where you can order each box of teas online (delivery is fast). Each box contains 15 teabags and are priced at £4.20 per box. You won't be disappointed!

I very much looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for Cuppanut. It has now become my 'go to' drink.

What do you think of infused teas and which Cuppanut flavour would you most want to try?

Review | Champneys Summer Dream Rewarding Salt Scrub


Champneys Summer Dream Rewarding Salt Scrub

We are well into Spring now and if you are in the mood for some pampering then I would definitely recommend giving your skin a treat with the Champneys Summer Dream Rewarding Salt Scrub. 

Not only is the baby pink packaging adorable with 'Well Earned Treat' scrolled over the lid in swirly writing but this product smells amazing. It's literally like Summer in a pot! This thick salt scrub is bursting with fruit infusions including peach, mango, orange and passion fruit with a hint of sandalwood. The result of this combination is a delicious fragrance.

To use this salt scrub scoop a generous amount into your palms and apply to the skin in circular motions, paying particular attention to more troublesome areas such as the elbows, knees and ankles which often suffer from dryness. After use rinse well with warm water and your skin is fresh, clean and ready for Summer! You will also notice a subtle hint of the scent linger on your skin for a short time after which I really like.

Exfoliation is beneficial as it keeps the skin fresh and healthy by removing dead skin cells from the surface. The process of cell regeneration is something the body also does naturally but it slows as we age so as you get older it becomes more and more important to give your skin a helping hand. Exfoliating will make your skin look less dull and help prevent an excess of oil, clogged pores, dry, rough skin, blemishes and acne because it prevents the build up of dead skin cells. This is it particularly important to do before applying fake tan as it prevents a streaky/patchy result.

I've been really impressed with this product, not only does it smell amazing but it's a good strong scrub that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. I would even go as far as saying this is the best body exfoliator product I have used. Needless to say I will definitely be re-purchasing this!

If you want to try to Champneys Summer Dream Rewarding Salt Scrub you can purchase it from Boots for £10.00.

Review | Lush Beautiful Shower Gel


Lush Beautiful Shower Gel

It's been a while since a properly reviewed any products on my blog but that doesn't mean I haven't been enjoying Lush products as always. One of the most recent products I have tried is the aptly named 'Beautiful' Shower Gel and it's a good one.

'Beautiful' is a very pretty rich orange/yellow shower gel which has flecks of pretty glitter dotted throughout it. They are so fine they give that extra bit of sparkle which makes this product feel extra special without them being overpowering and leaving you looking like a disco ball (they leave no shimmer at all). Perfect for brightening up those early mornings!

The texture of this shower gel is very thick so you only need to use a little at a time to get a good lather and it smells delicious. The mixture of fresh peach juice, dried apricots and osmanthus absolute creates a sweet yet fresh and slightly floral scent which is just perfect for Spring and Summer!

My friend kindly bought me this shower gel as a gift and I'm so pleased she introduced me to it as it's lovely. It makes a nice alternative to my old favourite Snow Fairy and I would definitely repurchase it.

If you want to purchase the Lush Beautiful Shower gel it is available in Lush stores for a variety of prices depending on the price. The one I have photographed here is the medium size and is £9.75.

Review | The World's Most Powerful Iron | PerfectCare Elite SteamGenerator Iron


Philips PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron

Philips PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron

Good Morning Beauties! Today's blog post is about a product I am very excited to share with you and is a must have for all those domestic Gods and Goddesses out there. 

The new *PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron is said to be Philips best and most efficient steam generator iron yet and I must agree. The large solid base means it is stable and easy to set aside as a placeholder to hold the iron when you need a break from ironing. I find this particularly useful as the metal plate on our ironing board isn't particularly big and therefore more often or not an iron does not fit which makes things a bit tricky when you need to place it down. Alternatively, this iron has such advanced technology (mentioned below in more detail) you can actually comfortable leave the soleplate of this iron directly on your ironing board without causing burning which is brilliant.

When it comes to using this iron, it couldn't be more simple as not only does it come with easy instructions to follow but it is pretty intuitive though so it is quick to get started straight away. The iron itself is lightweight meaning it puts less strain on your wrist and arm and the size of the handle is perfect to grip it firmly but comfortably. Additionally, it has a safety auto off function which is a must have to me. I'm a worrier and always one of those people that will worry endlessly about leaving an appliance on whether it be the iron or my hair straigheners!

I have tried using this iron on a variety of different materials as seen in the pictures above (e.g denim, cotton, silk cashmere etc) and whatever it's up against this iron simply glides over the material removing creases effortlessly.  I also love that you don't have to worry about temperature control as this iron does all that for you. The Advanced Smart Control Processor precisely controls the soleplate providing one perfect temperature setting for all frabrics, Phillips call this OptimalTEMP technology. This is amazing technology and completely removes any anxiety people have about what setting they should use to get perfect results and prevent burning fabrics. It is also easy to tell when the iron is ready for use as the light on top changes from flashing to solid light, it takes just two minutes so is perfect for those in a rush.

The PerfectCare Elite also allows for vertical steaming which is a great added bonus and would have been extremely useful for getting out those last minute creases from all our dresses on my wedding day... if  only I had this then!

This Philips iron also comes with a variety of different settings which allows you to get the most out of your ironing whether it be 'Eco Friendly' if you are particularly conscious about our impact on the environment or 'Turbo' mode for fast ironing. It also holds a large amount of water, 1.8l to be precise so you don't have to spend too much time re-filing although this is very straightforward to do.

Don't forget to descale your iron regularly to prolong it's life, something which is super easy to do with this one thanks to the alert the iron gives you when it time for a good clean. You simply need to wait for your iron to cool and remove the water and limescale in a cup after removing the 'De-Calc' knob.

I really can't fault this product in any way and it is definitely the best iron I have ever used, even hubby is happy to get stuck in and do his share with this! It's easy to use, has great results, advanced technical and the design looks modern and sleek.

You can purchase the Philips PerfectCare Elite Steam Generator Iron from a variety of places including John Lewis for £319.95 or directly from Philips for £320

Wish List | My Top 5 Jewellery Picks


My Top 5 Jewellery Picks


Like most women I love jewellery and with Christmas fast approaching there's lot of beautiful pieces available in stores. I decided to share some of my favourite's with you and have picked my Top 5 over a variety of brands.

Firstly, I love these pink crystal earrings as not only are they my favourite colour but they are very pretty. I wear studs a lot as they are more practical and these are ones I would wear on a daily basis. I like the oval shape too, I've seen similar ones like this which have been round so these are a little more unusual and a nice size.

Next I've chosen an adorable ring with Cubic Zirconia detailed across the unusual beautiful bow detailing. I've never seen a ring like this and I love that it is so dainty. This would look great as a every day ring or to bling up an outfit, it's so fun and girly.

I've also chosen a beautiful feather pendant which again has Cubic Zirconia detailing. I like necklaces which fall like this and this one is really different to any others in my collection. It would look gorgeous against a really simple outfit like a little black dress and would be perfect to wear over the festive season.

Last but not least I have two bangles, one in silver and one in a more unusual rose gold. The silver bangle is a twist on the more traditional plain ones and I like the simplicity of it. It would go with any outfit. Conversely, I also love the rose gold one as it has rounded edges and a delicate cut mesh which I imagine would sparkle gently as it catches the light. It also has some beautiful detailing on two sides to make this more than a simple bangle. 

I absolutely love all of the jewellery featured on my list and I hope you do too. To take a look at a wider selection click here.

Beauty | Origins Clean Energy Cleansing Oil Review


Origins Clean Energy Cleansing Oil Review
Origins Clean Energy Cleansing Oil Review

A few weeks before my wedding I did something I never thought I would - I changed my skin care regime. I assume due to stress I started getting break outs which is normally really unlike me as I've always been pretty lucky with having clear skin (touch wood) so I wanted to give my skin a boost. I also found my skin was irritated around my jaw which was itchy and uncomfortable so it just wasn't something I could put up with.

I decided to try a new Origins product as my skin gets on well with this brand and I just wanted to replace one thing - my cleansing balm as I thought that was what was causing my problems. In hindsight it had nothing to do with my well loved Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm but instead was down to my Bioderma which I now seem to be allergic to after using it for many years! 

The Origins product I tried is the Clean Energy Cleansing Oil which is a very lightweight yellow oil including sunflower, sesame, and safflower oils which remove makeup, dirt and pollutants. I've been very impressed with this product. The formula is naturally oily so it feels soft and silky on the skin. You also need to use very little to get effective results.

To apply this cleansing oil I simply rub one pump into my skin with my finger tips starting with my face and then my eyes, being careful not to get any in them. I then add a little warm water to my fingers and rub this in too as it creates a milk. A finish by gently wiping my face and eyes clean with a damp muslin cloth or flannel.  Depending on how much eye makeup I'm wearing I may need to repeat this again but if you do be careful not to use too much oil, it doesn't hurt if you get it in your eyes but it does blur your vision.

Origins Clean Energy has done wonders for my skin. It leaves it glowing, clean and hydrated as well as soft and smooth.  I would definitely re-purchase it. Priced at £23.50 it is also pretty good value for money as it lasts a long time, you really do need very little. It also has a very subtle scent which is soothing and relaxing. This really is a lovely product.

You can buy the Origins Clean Energy Cleansing Oil from Boots for £23.50. Please note, the pump is not included but can be purchased separately.

Beauty | Autumn Hair and Beauty Trends


Autumn Beauty Trends

The weather in the UK is so changeable at the moment one minute we have beautiful blue skies and it's a warm sunny day and the next there is a chill in the air and raindrops falling on our heads. I'm not ready for Summer to be over just yet and I'm really hoping we get a nice September as it's our wedding in three and a half weeks but controversially I'm also looking forward to Autumn arriving.

As the temperature cools and the pretty golden leaves drop from the trees it offers the perfect opportunity to re-discover your Autumn fashion and beauty favourite's that have been neglected over the Summer months. To me, it feels like shopping without having spending any money as it's also exciting finding products you forgot you had.

This has got me thinking about what hair and beauty trends will grace the pages of our favourite magazines and fill the windows of our favourite shops hoping to tempt us in. Here's what I think will be this years favourite's:


Highlights

When people say highlights they often think of Summer and brightening their hair because it's warmer outside but why not mix things up and do this during Autumn instead? A flash of blonde or auburn running through a hair style looks gorgeous and is perfect for this time of year because it mimics the changing colour's of the leaves on the trees and would look stunning with berry tones. Check out some products used to colour hair here.


Nails

I mentioned berry tones earlier and it's a must during Autumn for nails as well as red. It's a classic and one of my favourite looks which I repeat every year without fail. Sometimes red can be a bit daunting to wear but something deep and rich like Sinful Nail Polish in Dangerous is a great shade. I also love to wear purple if I feel like mixing things up a little and this Attitude Polish in Temptation is really pretty. To have a more unique look but still fit in with this trend why not try adding your own nail art such as a hint of gold sparkle?


Textured Hair

I love adding texture to my hair whether it be beachy waves or curls and although I do this all year round for some reason I tend to do this more in Autumn/Winter. This year I think this look will be popular rather than the sleek straight look but I think high gloss and choppy layers will also be common. A simple high ponytail with plenty of volume or a down do will be the look this year. You can add texture to your hair by using a variety of styling tools to create different looks.


Makeup

Smokey eyes are something I think will be big in Autumn this year, in particular grey, purple and cranberry looks (not necessarily combined). These colours shout Autumn to me as the party season approaches I think the smokey eye will become more popular with a defined black flick or shimmery brown/gold liner. The berry lip is always around during this time of year and I love this look but I think purple lip shades will be more popular. MAC Recently released a gorgeous new deep purple shade in a Limited Edition collection and it's only a matter of time until others follow suit.

I look forward to seeing how many of my predictions are true as Autumn approaches!


What do you think will be the Autumn Hair and Beauty Trends?

Wedding | Summer Pampering


Harrods The Moroccan Hammam Urban Retreat Spa

As my wedding day is fast approaching something I have been thinking about more and more is some well deserved pampering. By this I don't mean chilling at home with the television on doing a manicure, laying in the bath enjoying a hair mask or applying your own facial but instead a more in depth relaxation experience. I'm talking about a spa.

There's something about walking into a spa that instantly relaxes me. They have a calming ambiance that makes my stresses melt away which lets me truly unwind. Combine that with one of my all time favourite shops and I'm in heaven.

The Urban Retreat Moroccan Hammam Spa isn't a place I have visited yet but is definitely somewhere I intend to go. Based in the popular Knightsbridge area in London it's easy to get to and the treatments sound gorgeous. It is a female only space and the handcraft environment resembles regal Morocco which I think sounds lovely. I love that it's more unique than your typical spa and it feels more cultural and luxurious.

On arrival, at The Moroccan Hammam you experience three different rooms starting with a warm room to acclimatise your body to the heat. Following this you move onto the main hot hammam area where you are treated to a luxury cleansing and bathing ritual followed by a trip to the decadent lounge area to fully relax and enjoy some Moroccan tea which aims to restore and balance your fluid levels.

As well as this unique start to your pampering, The Moroccan Hamman also offers the more recognisable treatments such as massages and facials and I love the sound of their packaging. The half day Moroccan Hammam experience sounds amazing as you get a manicure, pedicure, blow dry, makeup application, massage and Indulgent Hammam plus afternoon tea or lunch.... it sounds incredible!

Without fail, in the run up to the wedding I will taking a trip to a spa so I can have a few hours to relax in the run up. It's easy to get tied up with everything that needs to be done and feel swamped - a feeling which is becoming more and more familiar of late and a relaxing spa visit is the perfect cure to relieve that.

If you fancy a trip to the Urban Retreat Moroccan Hamman Spa at Harrods take a look at their website for more details. Also, to find out more about what the Urban Retreat services and processes take a look at their website.

Review | Kiss Air Candles - Ice Cream Parlour Range


Kiss Air Candle Review
Kiss Air Candle Review
Kiss Air Candle Review

If you are a big candle fan like me the products mentioned in this blog post are a must try. I first tried Kiss Air Candles a couple of years ago when they had just launched and since then the company has really flourished. It's easy to understand why. Their reasonably priced candles are housed in adorable tin cases, each with a colourful label which makes them look simply adorable and the scents are gorgeous.

Lovingly handmade in Cambridgeshire, the candle range has quickly expanded and contains lots of gorgeous, unique scents including the Ice Cream Parlour Range. I just love the names given to the collections and the brand itself, Kiss Air Candles. They are adorable!

I have two candles from the range, namely Black Cherry and Rum and Raisin. Both are worlds apart but equally as delicious. Rum and Raisin reminds me of Summer days by the seaside. The scent is hearty, rich and sweet and without doubt smells good enough to eat. It has a strong hint of vanilla which fills the room and it lingers in the air for hours.

Black Cherry is also a gorgeous scent, and is one I often reach for when picking candles. I've had this scent before by other brands so I was keen to see how this one compares. Every sniff of this fragrance takes me back to my childhood when I used to spend my Summer holidays with my friends down the road enjoying the sun and playing games. Most days the ice cream van would pop by and I would pick a cherry ice - this candle smells like it's double. It is sweet and fruity but not overpowering. It also has depth and smells smooth and luxurious.

I'm a big fan of Kiss Air Candles and I would definitely recommend them. They are long lasting, burn evenly, strong scented and simply delicious. If you get one of these you are definitely in for a treat!

If you like the sound of these candles or fancy a peak at the others that are available you can take a look at the Kiss Air Candle website. Large tins are £8.50 and small tins are £5.00. They make perfect gifts for friends and family who are candle fans too! The next scents I have my eye on are Toffee Apple and Pina Colada... yum!

Review | Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Cheek Swish and Pop Blusher inFirst Love


Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Cheek Swish and Pop Blusher in First Love
Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Cheek Swish and Pop Blusher in First Love
Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Cheek Swish and Pop Blusher in First Love

Charlotte Tilbury is a makeup brand that I only discovered last year but it has quickly become a favourite. So far all of the products I have tried have been a wonderful quality and although they are a little on the pricey side compared to highstreet equivalents they are worth every penny.

In today's post I want to talk about the pretty Charlotte Tilbury blush called First Love which is part of the Cheek to Cheeky Swish and Pop range. Inside the brown and rose gold compact hides a pretty dual toned blush which when combined leaves a beautiful natural shimmer to the cheeks. The center is a matte mid toned pink which is surrounded by a more subtle pink/peach which has a shimmer running through it. I've tried wearing both individually and combined, both of which are beautiful but more often or not I do the latter as it's easier when rushing to apply my makeup before work in the morning. If you really wanted to the outer shade could also be used a highlighter whilst the middle shade could be applied as your blush.

The texture of this First Love blush (such an adorable name) is soft and dry which means it blends well onto my skin so I don't get any harsh lines but it doesn't melt away throughout the day which is perfect. I like my makeup to last as long as possible and this is definitely a product I can rely on for that. Due to it's subtle tone it also goes with a variety of make up looks so is pretty versatile.

If you want to buy this beautiful blush you can purchase it from Selfridges for £30. The amount of product you get is generous and although I use mine regularly it's barely even dented!

What do you think of this Charlotte Tilbury Blush?
