The Body Shop: Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream

So hi....

It's currently winter in the UK, some may debate that saying it's nearly spring, but it's damn cold right now, I ain't seeing any signs of warmth of spring yet. Anyway with the notions of winter and coldness, comes the issues of chapped lips and drying skin, it sucks big time.


In an attempt to combat this I've been trying super hard to moisturise often and keep my skin feeling some kind of decent. To do this I've been using the body shop vitamin E intense moisture cream, It says it's for very dry skin, and admittedly my skin is more combination type but that's why I don't often use this cream, however the harsh cold weather this year was really wrecking my skin so a small amount of this after washing my face seriously helps.


It really feels super creamy and nice on my skin and especially in the morning after moisturising before bed the night before my skin feels so soft and smooth, it's great.
I''d definitely recommend this cream for anyone struggling with dry skin or just having issues with the winter weather like I have been.

What product has saved your skin this winter?

Black Friday Buys.

So Hi...

You may have noticed that black Friday is suddenly a very big deal in the UK now, with a ton of non america brands jumping on the discount and offer band wagon. Not that I mind too much, though honestly I don't mind the excuse to look around for some deals.
I was in Birmingham city centre to head to TheBodyShop event and had a little look around, I only got 3 things though so I didn't wanna call this a haul.



First 2 things I picked up were from primark, they weren't really in the sale but they didn't cost too much to begin with so it's fine!
The gorgeous midi-skirt was only £8 and I absolutely love the colours as well the pattern, It's not too much.
Then I found these boots, How perfect are they???? I want so many of the boots in primary but these were the best ones I found for £22. I can't wait to buy a load more after christmas. Maybe I'll do a boots haul?


Lastly was the set I got at thebodyshop, due to the 50% off deal we got it was only £13. So far I've been loving them, but I'll say more in a future post my full opinions.

We'll talk soon lovelies!

The #Bhmbloggermeet

So hi...

Last Friday was Black Friday, now it's not supposed to be much of a thing in England but it's apparently exploded in the last few years with a load of brands offering discounts and deals to us UK customers, As well as this madness I attended my first ever event which was exciting. It was the Birmingham Blogger meet Organised by Abbigayle over at stealstylist.com and was hosted by The Body Shop. I was so honored to be invited as such a diddy little space on the internet and it was such an amazing evening focused more on the interactions between bloggers rather than brands brands brands.
We started the evening off with a little challenge called ' What does your cupcake say?' We all had to think of a cute little phrase to write on a little note and was put into our cupcakes. I chose to write 'Life is sweeter with cake!'
I foolishly forgot my camera in the rush to get the train in time so You'll have to manage ith the slightly more awkward phone photos.





After we had a little brief of what the event was about from Abbigayle  and then a little brief from the body shop staff about the body shop, we also got told about the 3 Christmas collections released for the Christmas period. The 3 collection are Glazed apple, which was a gorgeous fruity scent that just screams christmas. Vanilla Brulee which was so sweet in the pots but were much softer in scent once put on the skin and my personal favourite, Cranberry, this scent smells similar to their strawberry scents but not as sweet and well more Cranberry like, Another very Christmas feeling scent.





Briefing over with we had a little question ice breaker in which we all answered a question based on the sweet we had chosen earlier on.
After we were split into groups to experience little stations, the stations were Hand massages, Facial Skincare, Makeup and then hands and nails. I really enjoyed all the stations and got to know a lot more about what the body shop ranges offer as well as some make-up techniques which I could always use!






We then got to shop, with an amazingly good deal of 50% off everything at it's original price. I picked up a little Skincare goodie which I'll be showing either as it's own review or in a haul post!
Along with this deal, You guys also get to experience the goodness with a screen shot of this photo!
it's running until December 3rd So be quick!

It was an amazing night and we quickly ran out of time which was sad as Abbigayle told us she had a few more games planned for us, But we all said we could do them next time!










A cute group photo was taken and we then received a goodie bag, Which contained a cup from starbucks, allowing us 20p off drinks with the cup as well as a cute chocolate reindeer lolly. A bag of popcorn supplied by Propercorn and some sample pots of 3 body butters in the seasonal scents by The body shop.

I was amazingly grateful to be invited and even more grateful to receive a little goodie bag as well, It was a lovely night and I got to talk to a few fellow bloggers like Tash from As told by Tash Pantz, Rebecca from The Glossary , Amy from Haus of Amy and Emily from Good girl gone Brum

Brilliant evening with Brilliant people, Perfect.

We'll talk soon lovelies!

Late May Favourites!

So hi...

May seemed to have gone ridiculously quick which I partially blame this on the stress induced from exams. 6 exams down and 3 to go may has been busy. Revision and exams are also why I'm posting this a few days late, forgive me!
Any way lets get down to it!

 This month was probably one of my busiest so far, I hadn't planned it to be but you know when plans just seem to pop up all of the place and stuff just gets done? that was me this month. Full of sociable outings in both the day and night and much stressing over revision, I also got productive with the blog, but that's for another post. I got to love a load of products and random non beauty things this month too, but beauty first.

 Garnier Micellar Cleansing water.
Sometime in April I picked this up hearing nothing but good things, now when it comes to make-up removal... I am mighty lazy, I always get it off just probably not as well as I should, I tend to crash after about 9pm and all my energy just disappears so this product, claiming easy make-up removal sounded perfect. AND I can say after a month of use it's amazing, it makes my skin feel lovely and refreshed and removes all my make-up with ease and without hassle, Beautiful.

Superdrug's own brand Restoring Skin Care Oil.
This is a little bit of a sensitive topic for me but I was in hospital and had operation to remove cysts when i was 13 and again last year, the first operation left awful scars and stitches that were done rather sloppy, This means my stomach doesnt look too pretty, the second time round they attempted to fix the previous scars but there is only so much that can be done. So now I am left with 6 operation scars covering my stomach and it's rather un-nerving, so i thought i would try this product just to help, and I felt like it has a lot, as I said they will be there all my life but they are less noticeable now, which is great.

Lush Bubble Gum lip scrub.
I absolutely adore this product, it smells amazing, feels amazing on my lips and once it's done its job and i'm happy, I can just lick the rest on it off my lips, how great??? I also feel like this will last me ages as a little goes a long way, I wanted this product for a good few months before I finally caved and got it but i'm so glad I did.

The Body Shop Strawberry body butter.
I'm sad to say I've run out of this product. I got it in a gift set full of a variety of strawberry scented goodies and immediately fell in love, It soaked into my skin quickly so i didn't have to awkward stand around and it lightly fragrance my body to smell of strawberries, And wo doesn't love strawberries eh??
Naked 2 Palette.
Now I'll admit straight away, this is not the real deal, I don't think as I bought it from T-mart.com for under £10! Definitely not the price tag naked is known for, It also didn't say it was the naked palette but after comparing it with swatches and seeing another blogger buy this product I thought why not. Now I can't compare it to the real naked palette as I don't own it but I have thoroughly loved this product, The pigment of the eye shadows are good and  the brush you get with it is great and soft to use as well! So worth it.

Two Faced- No Makeup Makeup.
This was another purchase from T-mart.com, however when I put this in my basket i didn't realise it would come as a two-faced product and was pleasantly surprised, I think with T-mart although there are no brand names on the site a lot of the products are if you search, that's my guess anyway. Back to the product, I bought this as a all in one palette to experiment with contour blush highlights and bronzer as I steered away from bronzer because of my paleness and had fell out of love with my cream blusher. I know absolutely adore this product, It's amazing for really polishing of my make-up look and giving it a much more natural product, I'm really interested in trying more two-faced products now as this one was just amazing.

MUA Nail Polish in Sweet peach.
There isn't much explaining for this product, I just think it's a great colour for your nails in summer, it's a lovely and bright peachy coral colour and at only £1, What's not to love?

MUA pro-base Primer
Another product I bought to try out as I always stuggle with making my make-up(mostly the base) Last for a full day and so I thought I would try a primer, and not wanting to spend loads on a product I may not like I went for MUA's primer which cost only £4. I am now converted to the magic of a primer, I feel that it makes my make-up last longer and look more flawless, I'm interested to try other primers as well, Any suggestions?

Collection Lipstick in Vintage Rose.
This lipstick has been in my bag pretty much all month, It's just a perfect 'your lips but better' colour for me as my natural lip colour is pinky, So this lipstick just brings that out. It's great whenever I'm feeling lazy or want to look nice but proper out there with a red lip, Or if I want more focus on my eyes this colour is good. Really It's just an all round good'un.

That's all the beauty related favourites, now for the more random favourites of this month.


Dark Souls.
Now this is my inner gamer coming out here but I love this game. so many of my friends hate it because it's known for it's difficulty and even says on the case  'prepare to die' but i love the challenge. I love long open games that have a lot of detail in the story and provide a lot of challenge, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and refuse to leave the game unfinished! it's a great game, I'm also looking forward to playing dark souls 2.

Phone case.
This is probably the most random but I bought this online to protect the new phone I bought about 2 months ago and now I couldn't be without it, It has two pockets on the inside that I put my college card and bus tickets in which is super useful. and Obviously it does the great job of protecting my phone!


Young Guns.
Music wise I've been really enjoying young guns, their album bones in particular. My favourite songs are 'Bones' and 'I was born, I have lived, I will surely die' I high recommend them for people to give a listen to

Sweet Potato.
I have seriously been liking Sweet potato this month, especially as chips, they are healthier and just tastes so nice! It's also nice as mash. I've been on a little healthy eating thing

Pamper Night.

So hi...

I think all girls have a set of products or a little routine they have for when they just need to unwind and relax in the bath, with this in mind I thought I'd show off my products and my little routine for a nice pampered bath time.

So these are typically all the products I'll typically use if I want a little paper evening, If i had a bath bomb I'd usually use one as well however I am currently out of bath bombs so maybe a visit to lush will be needed sometime soon!
While in the bath I tend to use my soap and glory sugar crush body wash, It's foamy and smells divine, I'll then use the body shop strawberry shower oil, I have a weakness for fruit smells when it comes to bodycare. when I paired the strawberry butter and shower gel, I lived in strawberry scent it was amazing. although cherry smell is just as nice. The restoring skin care oil from Superdrug I use after I've done everything else for my operation marks and I've been having issue with stretch marks near my operation scars which has been really hitting my confidence, So this oil has been helping a lot, plus it's a lot cheaper than bio-oil etc...

Once I'm finished in the bath, or shower, I tend to do my little face cleansing routine, with my Clearasil vitamins and extracts wash and mash, and I 'll leave that on for 6 minutes or so while I'll moisturize my body and put in my hair mask, I'll then use my peaches and clean cleanse from soap and glory followed by Nivea oil free moisturizing day cream.
So For moisturizing I used this cherry and macadamia body butter from Superdrug, this stuff smells SO good. And This hair mask which I'll use when my hair is feeling really lifeless, it does a pretty good job and my hair always lasts a little longer in terms of washing, As I tend to need to wash my hair almost everyday and it's very thick and gets greasy rather quickly, it's a giant pain.

And really that's it, not too many products but they do.

We'll talk soon lovelies!
