Nivea Soft Review!

Aloha!

With all of this lovely summer weather I have noticed that my skin is a lot better, but I still want to take good care of it. I have quite sensitive skin, so I like to use really gentle products that won't irritate me. I think that Nivea is a really good brand for skin are because all of the things that I have tried, I have really liked and they have been good to my sensitive skin.



My skin can get quite dry at times, so I like to use a really nourishing moisturiser. The Nivea Soft moisturiser is perfect! Not only is it gentle and nourishing, but it isn't just a face moisturiser, oh no, you can use it on your hands and body too!

Nivea soft is available in a few sizes (I think they have a tube and a tub) and I have the 75ml tube. You get a really good product that lasts a long time, is multipurpose AND is cheap. I think I payed about £2 or £3 and I have had it for at least a couple of months.

I would totally recommend this moisturiser as it is excellent for even the driest of skin! (Don't hold me to  it though...). I don't know how good it is on oily skin as it contains jojoba oil, but if you have oily skin and have used it, let me know!

Thankyou soo much for reading!

Handy Must Haves!

Bonjour mis belle amis! (urr...)

So I'm going to jump right in and tell you of two products that I think you will need (kinda...)

First up is the Soap and Glory Hand Maid Gel. It is an anti-bacterial hand sanitizer, and I really think we all need these, especially as it is summer. I know that during the summer I am always out and about, travelling and am in constant contact with germs (sorry, but its true.). Now, I don't know about you, but germs are not in my good books, so I want to avoid them because I don't want to be ill over my summer. Hell No! So hand sanitizers are great because you can use them on the go (coz who has space for a sink in their handbag?). I love this one because it smells really nice. Most hand sanitizers smell really medically and cucumbery and I just don't like it.

Next up is the Soap and Glory Hand Food. This is a hand cream/lotion thing. I love this because it keeps my hands nice and moisturised because sometimes as the weather is quite dry, I find my hands can get a little dry too, so I like to feed them up with some hand cream so they stay nice and smooth and soft :)

Okay, so I think that's it from me. I hope you are having a lovely summer where ever you are.

Finally, A New Bronzer!

Hello there my drops of golden sun! (bonus points of you can comment which musical that line is from)

So you may know that I am on the search for a new bronzer. BUT, the search is over, as I have found a new one! (yay)

I picked up the Barry M Natural Dazzle Compact Matt Bronzing Powder (Phew...) and I really like it!
It does exactly what it says on the tin: it is a matt bronzer. Yup. Its pretty simple, but that's just how I like things to be. This gives me a lovely golden tanned glow, which it great as it is now summer (super yay!) I apply this around my hair line, down my nose and across my cheekbones for a bronzed finish, but I would also use it to contour as well.



















 
So there we have it. A good matt bronzer that isn't too muddy or too orange, and it was only about £7, so that's a bargain in my eyes.

Thanks for sticking around,

Love you lots, byee xxx

MUA Shimmer Kisses Bronzer

Aloha!

So now that it is OFFICIALLY summer, I am really into bronzed skin. However, I am as pale as a glass of milk, so I need the help of some beauty products to get me that golden glow.

I'm all about bronzer, but for summer I like to stay away from looking matte, and go for a more glowy finish to my skin. I recently bought the MUA Shimmer Kisses Bronzer to help me look glowing, golden and gorgeous!


Now, by no means would I consider this a bronzer. It is very light and shimmery, so is the perfect highlight! I apply this along the tops of my cheek bones, under my brows and on my inner corners of my eyes, and it makes me look bright eyed (and bushy tailed). I really like this because it gives a really nice natural glow, but it just catches the light and looks really pretty. Plus, it was £3, so I couldn't not love it really!




Well that's all for now. I really like this product and I think you should get it :) Sadly, MUA isn't widely stocked, but you can get it from Superdrug here in the UK if that's any help.

Thanks once again, and goodbye xxx

My New Favourite Thing!

Hello x

Now, this isn't a beauty post, but maybe more of a lifestyle post? Maybe...

So last Thursday I went shopping with my lovely friend Katie and lets just say that my purse is feeling a little less than stellar (yeh...I'm broke) BUT it is for a good reason. I had a very successful trip and bought quite a lot (yay). One thing in particular stands out to me though....


Tadaa!!! Yes, it is a cat cushion. I think that everyone needs one of these in their life. Every time I look at it, I can't help but feel just a lot happier. Now, I am a cat person (I frikin love them!) but I'm sure there are novelty animal cushions for every taste, whether you love dogs, cats or even ducks (I don't judge). I got mine from Primark for £4 (I know, I know) so how could I possibly resist?!?

So this was something a little different from whati usually do, so let me know if you liked it :)

Thanks for reading, and until next time...

BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE XXXXXXXX

Bourjois Bronzer Review

Hello hunny :)

Now, the Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer has been around for a little while, and I've had it for ages, but only now have I decided to give it a full review. As I have had this Bronzer for umm...ever(?) I feel that this review is going to be as good and honest as it gets.

Well...I don't really have too much to say about this product. I don't own a whole lot of Bourjois products, but I generally think that they are a good brand, and this Bronzer really let's them down.  I now, I know...a bad review? Yes. I want to be honest with you, because I just can't lie to you, I mean...look at that face...yeh. This Bronzer sucks. I really don't like it. I don't know if I just got a dud one or what, but it isn't up to my high Bourjois expectations.

The colour really isn't great. I think it comes in two colours, a lighter one (which I got) and a darker one (which I don't got). For me, it is just too orange and nothingy. Also, it says that it is filled with "glints of sunshine" which I presume means that it is glittery. However, there is a distinct lack of glitter in this seemingly matte Bronzer. Now, I did buy this Bronzer because it is matte, so that does get one point in my good books, but it says that it is glittery and it is not so it lied. Yup. The Bronzer lied.

Onto the consistency (I have no idea what else to call it...The powderyness?? Meh). I don't know why, but of some reason I find it very hard to get the Bronzer onto my face. No matter how much I swirl my brush in it, hardly any product is picked up which is a BIG problem.

So overall, I do not like this Bronzer. It isn't the best colour, and it just doesn't do it's job. I'm sorry for being such a negative nelly, but I'm just being honest. One positive thing about it is that it smells yummy (not like chocolate, but yummy all the same).

I hope this has been helpful and thankyou very much for reading.

Loveyouuuuuu bye xxx
