Sephora Haul Florida 2015




Hello!

So I thought I'd share with you my Sephora/ one thing from Walgreen’s beauty haul.

Ole Henriksen The clean truth™ cleansing cloths Brightening – I've heard so much about these and I couldn't say no to buying them. I have used them a few times but not enough to do a review so I will do that shortly.

GLAMGLOW® Flashmud™ Brightening treatment- I haven't seen this one before but it was on the counter for me try so I tried a little bit on my hand when I was there and carried on shopping and when I went back to it I got rid of all the bits that were left on my hand (exfoliant) and I couldn't believe how soft my hand was. It was amazing. I couldn't say no!

GLAMGLOW® ThirstyMud™ Hydrating Treatment – I have dry skin and heard many Youtubers raving on about this product so I didn't want to purchase the full size because they are priced so I purchased the smaller size for I think it was $19. I haven't used much of it yet but so far I really like it. Full review coming soon!

Smashbox Photo finish Foundation Primer Hydrating – I think you've caught the just that I have dry skin. No seriously. Every time I put foundation on in the morning it looks flaky by 11am. So I'm going to do all it takes to keep my skin hydrated. Hopefully this will suffice.

Origins GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream – I LOVE this product. Holy grail. Life saver. Full review can be seen here.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser – Again, I've heard so much about this product. I couldn't say no especially because the price was $15, not bad I thought. So far I'm loving this with the GLAMGLOW® brightening treatment. Full review will be done soon.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer - I've been looking for a really good concealer, you know? The ones which aren’t hard and drying or ones that are too liquid you and create lines. So I heard this concealer would be great. So far I'm loving it. Really brightens up the eye area and doesn't create lines. Will do a full review soon :)

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation – I haven't had chance to use this yet because obviously when I was shopping for it I had a tan but I knew when I got home I'd go pale so I had to get a lighter shade. Obviously my tan hasn't gone yet so I haven't been able to use this Foundation as of yet but I seriously can't wait to!

EOS lip balm – The one thing I got at Walgreens. I loved how people always greeted you as soon as you went there with ‘Hi, welcome to Walgreens’ so cute. Again, seen so many talk about this so I had to pick it up on the last day.

So there you have it. I did buy a few clothing items when I was there. Do you guys want to see them? Outfit of the day post? Have any of you tried these products? What did you think of them? Yay or Nay? Thumbs up or down? Leave a comment below

Chow for now

Origins GinZing Eye Cream Review


Origins Gin Zin Refreshing Eye Cream

I cannot even..

Yeah. So I have been searching and penetrating every eye cream in the market for years and years. I have terrible dark circles; some people have made comments saying they looked bruised and asked if I'm feeling well because if I don't put eye cream/ concealer or foundation to cover it; I look like an ill panda. Seriously.
So for years I have tried everything from freezing spoons to putting eye creams in the fridge. I couldn't find anything whatsoever to make the slightest difference to my stoned- looking eyes. 

Until..

I came across Origins Bin Zin Eye Cream.
I heard about this through blogs and YouTube videos and thought, why the hell not? I've tried everything else. I may as well try this too. When I looked up on how much it was going to cost I thought ‘No chance!!’ So I searched on eBay and came across a sample size. Buy it Now and I had it sent to me. Cut long story short I absolutely loved it, it was long lasting and when I recently went to the States I saw the full size pack in Sephora and went ‘Yep, that's going straight in my basket’ and I've been using it every morning ever since. 




It states on the tub ‘Refreshing eye cream to brighten and de-puff’ that instantly drawn my attention to it because that is exactly what I need.
The cream itself is a peachy pink colour and is extremely light and non-greasy when working it in near the eye area. Following this, it’s excellent when concealer is added on afterwards. It doesn't flake and peel off which makes me love it even more!  It works very fast and you notice a difference within 5 minutes. 


I am extremely happy with this product and I cannot recommend it enough. It is my holy grail product. 

Au revoir!

October 2015 - Wish List

I LOVE Autumn. Autumn is my favourite season. The nights get darker, the days are crispy and you just feel all cosy and warm. Knitted jumpers, hot tea/ chocolate, jeans, boots; I even love the festive food on the shop shelves. It's exciting! I love it!

Enough of the rambling, I want to show you my Autumn wish list.


1. iPhone6s in Rose Gold

My contract runs out in the beginning of December so I'm definitely going to be purchasing this next. I figured the iPhone 6s Plus is too big for me and wouldn’t benefit me anymore than the 6s would. Also, the colour is just too cute to pass up.

2. Clarisonic Mia 2

I have been looking at a lot of blogs&abides about this product and it seems that it's a product you shouldn't miss out on. What the heck. I'm a skincare junkie and love taking care of my skin so why the hell not? Christmas present maybe? 


3. River Island Molly Jeggins
These are a must for this season. Very Autumnal and would look great with just about anything! 



4. River Island Beige Suede Ankle Boots

Do you guys have any wish lists for this Autumn? Let me know I'd love to hear yours :)

Top 4 things you need to do/purchase before DisneyWorld.

So I've just one back from the best holiday ever in Orlando, Florida. Yes I went to DisneyWorld and yes it was truly magical. Magic Kingdom as definitely my favourite park the atmosphere was just incredible; people smiling at you, the Disney music playing in the background, the smell and of course the big one… Cinderella’s castle at the end of Main Street. I have to admit I did tear up a little…
Any ways now that I'm back I thought I would do a blog post on tips before you head out there. Things you should consider and things you must do.

1. ESTA- you must remember to fill out these forms otherwise you won't be allowed into the country. Simple as.
2. Disney Experience- once you have booked your holiday whether you're staying at a Disney Hotel or any hotel you should consider getting yourself a Disney Experience account ( https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/plan/ ) Having this account makes your holiday a hell of a lot smoother! You can get FastPasses+ for some rides. You can also get PhotoPass+ and have photographers take pictures of you and your family together which then gets sent to your Disney Experience account and then you can share them on Facebook/Instagram etc. You can even make reservations for Disney restaurants.  More info on their FAQ page (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/my-disney-experience/disney-experience/ )
3. Data Roaming/ Aeroplane Mode- As soon as I boarded the plane from Gatwick I turned my phone into Airplane mode and turned my Data Roaming off. If you don't want to come home from a two week holiday with a million pound phone bill then you need to do just that. I contacted my mum via Whatsapp (Wifi) and Facetimed her twice(Wifi) and I've come home and there have been no added charges to my phone bill.
4. Shoes. SHOES. SHOES!!! I cannot stress enough how bad you need comfy shoes. I wore my sketchers and they were a god send. The memory foam really made the difference for me. They were really comfortable. You will be walking for miles and miles and miles. You cannot walk in wedges around the Disney Parks. It is probably impossible.

So there you have it. They are my top tips and reminders to do before you head to Orlando. If you have any questions, please ask and I'll try my very best to answer! If you have booked your holiday and are going then enjoy and have the time of your life!
