Mini New York Haul!
Flo writes…
Hey everyone! I just got back from New York (literally this morning- so jet lagged now!) and I thought I would show you guys the few beauty bits and pieces I picked up there! So going from left to right I bought (all from drugstore):
- NYC long wearing nail enamel in 105 Starry Silver Glitter- this was only 99c!
- Sally Hansen colour quick fast dry colour pen in Petal Pink- this is so nifty! I thought it would be perfect for on the go touch ups for a nude mani!
- NYC waterproof eyeliner pencil in 935 Moody Blue- I’ve ben looking out for a dark blue eyeliner and this one is very pigmented and smooth to apply- Perfect!
- Sally Hansen salon effects real nail polish strips in 260 Glitz Blitz- I’m in love with glitter nails at the moment and I thought these would be perfect for a night out!
- Vaseline lip therapy with rose and almond oil- a pretty standard purchase but its nice to amp up your average lip balm with a little colour for everyday!
Also, while I was there I treated myself to a manicure (it was only $13!) and I got it in a fluro pink colour by Essie (sorry I don’t have the exact name).
I also bought Willa her B-Day pressie while I was there- its today, so be sure to wish her a happy birthday guys! :D

August Favourites!

Hey everyone! Today I am posting on the products that I have been loving this month and why! So lets get started…
(From Right to Left)
- Bourjois Volume Fast and Perfect Mascara- I mentioned this a while back when I first got it and I really love it! It has a rotating wand that really helps to separate my lashes and gives them tonnes of volume and length!
- Neutrogena Visible clear spot stress control daily scrub- I don’t use this daily (and I wouldn’t recommend that you do), but I do use it every other day to just give my skin an extra thorough clean. Afterwards my skin feels fresh and tingling! Its really helped to clear up my skin and I love it!
- Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub- This smells so yummy- like maple syrup! Also it gives a good exfoliation and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
- Bourjois Mineral Bronzing Foundation- This is a perfect back to school product as mineral foundation takes a lot less time to apply than regular foundation because you don’t have to set it with powder. I particularly like this one as it has two sides (one with foundation and the other with loose bronzer) which you can mix to create your perfect shade!
- EOS summer fruits lipbalm- If you read our blog regularly you will know that we love EOS! It really is the best lip balm I have ever come across and I wish that it was more regularly available here as it makes my lips so soft!
So what about you guys- what have you been loving this month? Let me know!

Heya everyone! Today I’m posting a HAUL of all the beauty products that I bought in New York! I had so much fun looking round all the stores like Sephora and Target, most of the stuff you can’t buy at home in the UK. So, I thought I would show you guys what I picked up.
Working from Left to Right I bought-
- Yes to tomatoes deep cleansing facial pads
- Sephora anti-shine primer
- NYC blushable creme sticks in Plaza Pink and Big Apple Blush (I’ve only heard good things about these and they were only $3.99 each!)
- Sephora egg shaped blending sponge (sorry It looks gross, I started using it!)
- Sephora cleansing face brush
- Sephora moonshadow trio in No2 sunbaked
- Sally Hansen salon effects real nail polish strips in 360 Laced Up
- Colgate wisp (these were just so cute!)
- OPI nail lacquer in Malaysian Mist (it was only $8!)
- Nicole by OPI polish in Step 2 the beat of my <3 (it has glitter hearts in it- to CUTE!)
- EOS lipbalm (they sell them in the supermarket over in the US- they are so hard to get a hold of at home!)
- Secret invisible solid antiperspirant’s in So very summerberry and cucumber aloe (I thought solid deodorants were cool ahha)
So what about you guys? Did you like my haul? Have you found any new beauty must haves over the summer? Let me know!

Flo writes… Hey guys! I am going to do three reviews on products from Soap and Glory. I am quite a big fan of this brand, I love that they use cute packaging and that all their products smell great. So lets get started…. Clear Here (T-zone oil control daily facial moisture lotion)- I am really not impressed at all with this product. I have combination skin and get break-outs on my forehead and this product claimed to help get rid of spots and control oil production. I can confirm that it does none of these things for me, in fact it makes my T-zone more oily and has not got rid of any of my blemishes, it also dried out my cheeks and made them flaky and red. I will not be re-buying this product and would give it a 2/10. Glow lotion (a drop-dead gorgeous highlighting glimmer lotion for the body)- I love love love this product! It has a gorgeous smell of strawberries, mandarin, vanilla and musk. It goes on very smoothly and really lights up your skin with a dewy glow. It is really good on pale and lightly tanned skins but may look a little harsh on deep skin tones. It has a good amount of shimmer in it but I would not recommend it as a moisturiser simply because having shimmer all over makes you look bigger because all the light reflective particals will catch the light. But I think this product is FAB and would highly recommend it and so I am going to give it 10/10 Mist you madly (a flirty floral fragrant body spray)- I think that this is a nice product. It smells of bergamot, blackcurrant, magnolia, freesia, vanilla and musk. This creates a nice mix that is not too heavy. I personally do not wear it on myself but I use it as a room spray. It comes in a 250ml bottle which I personally think is too big but I am not addicted to the smell. I think that it is nice but it is just not my personal taste. Therefore I would give this product a 6/10. So I hope that was helpful and will guide you in the right direction when you are shopping for products! Until next time! xx
