Review: Burt's Bees Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for starting blogging so late into the year but from this post onwards there will be new content on the blog at least every fortnight. Okay enough blabbering lets get on to the review!!

Today I will be doing a review on a product that I have just started using this month and that is the Burt's Bees peach and willow bark deep pore scrub. I use this twice every week and so far I cannot really fault it. This product was given to me for Christmas by my Mum and I absolutely love it!!!

This product is a white colored paste with chunks of peach stone. It can sometimes be a little harsh on the skin as the chunks of peach stone are not exactly finely ground but if you are looking for a good exfoliator then I would recommend this one as it does a great job at removing dead skin cells in order to give your skin a clearer and brighter appearance. I love that it does not leave my skin dry and flaky like most other exfoaliators do. The only fault in this product is its price, a tube of this stuff will set you back about $25 AUD but that's the thing about Burt's bees products they are all 100% natural and this causes them to be much more expensive than it's other competitors. I would definitely repurchase this product again as It works wonders for the complexion of the skin. Go Burt's Bees!!

Ingredients:

aqua (water, eau), vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, stearic acid, glycerin, prunus persica (peach) seed powder, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, parfum (fragrance), sodium borate, salix alba (willow) bark extract, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, hydrastis canadensis (golden seal) extract, fuscus vesiculosus (bladderwrack) extract, hedychium coronarium (hawaiian white ginger) root extract, sucrose stearate, xanthan gum, glucose, sodium chloride, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, limonene

Thank you for reading

Lots of love,

Steph

Happy New Year & Blogging Resolutions

Hello Everyone,

First of all Happy Early New Year, I wanted to put this post up a couple of hours before 2014 begins in order to make sure that it went up while it was remotely still close to 2013. I always get very excited when a new year is about to begin, it is a time where the slate is wiped completely clean and many new opportunities are placed before us. I quickly want to share with you all my three blog resolutions for 2014.

1. Reach 30 followers by the end of the year.
2. Do more lifestyle related posts.
3. Have at least one post up every fortnight.

Happy New Year and The Best for 2014 everyone!!!

Steph

Review: Lush Christmas Candy Box

Hello Everyone :)

Today I will be doing a review on one of the gifts that I was given for my birthday by one of my good friends whose name I won't mention on my blog but If your reading this you know who you are. All of the products in this box have very sweet scents so If you don't like scents like lollies or fresh and fruity smells then this box is not for you. Okay!!! so let the reviewing start.

Rockstar Soap 100g Star Mould

I am so glad that Lush has decided to feature this soap in this box because it is my absolute favorite soap from Lush. This soap has a beautiful fruity, sweet scent and is so moisturizing that it feels like one of their massage bars. I love the way that this soap lathers so easily as this ensures for a quick application. If you love this soap as much as I do and you are maybe running low on soap pop in to Lush now as they make the soap in a star shaped mould for Christmastime.

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

This Bubble Bar is so pretty!! I can understand why so many bloggers rave about this, it smells exactly like cotton candy! The color of this bubble bar is a stunning pink and white color with a light shimmer dusting all around it. The only fault that I can point out with this bubble bar is that it can leave a slight shimmer residue after having a bath. This doesn't really bother me but it probably annoys other people. I strongly recommend buying this bubble bar. I love it <3

Popcorn Lip Scrub

This is my favorite product from this whole box of goodies. When I opened this box and saw that this was featured in this box I got incredibly excited and tried it out straight away. A lot of people do not know how this product is used so I'll quickly tell you, to use this product you dab your finger into the pot and pick up some product and then start buffing away at the dead skin cells. When you have scrubbed till your hearts content what you do is get your tongue and lick the product off your lips. How Cool!!!

Snow Fairy Shower Gel 100g

Ahh! So where to start with this one, this product is my favorite scent from Lush ever. I love the sweet smell of this product and how easy it is to use. Sorry not much to say just a shower gel.

Snowman Bath Bomb

This product is so cute. I love the scent as well it smells exactly like Christmas. I plan on using this bath bomb on Christmas Eve to put me in a jolly mood. I strongly recommend popping into your local lush store to give this a sniff as it smells great.  

Great Work Lush, this is a great box that you have put together. If any of you are considering buying this for someone I recommend that you should as it is great value for money and such a cute gift to receive.


Thank You For Reading,

Steph

New Camera!!! What???

Hi Everyone,

I have such big news to tell you all. As you can probably tell by the title today I went out and purchased a new camera. A Canon 1100d to be exact, I am so incredibly excited for new blog posts to come as they will have much better quality than my previous pictures taken with the camera on my Samsung Galaxy Ace mobile phone. Stay tuned for my new blog post that will be up in an hour or so, on My birthday makeup for 2013.

My Top 4 BB Creams!!!

Hello Everyone,

First of all sorry for my absence on the blog, I have been very busy lately and have not had time to sit down and write a post however that will not be happening again. As Summer is just around the corner I thought that I would share with you four of my favorite BB creams and put each other to the test to see which one will come out on top.

#1- Revlon Photoready BB Cream

This BB Cream is my favorite. It is perfect for the summertime as it has SPF 30 in it so that there is no need to apply sunscreen before putting makeup on. I love how this BB Cream Gives my skin a radiant glow whilst giving a great coverage.

Rating: 9/10

#2- Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Aaahhh, so where to start with this one. I have very mixed emotions about this BB Cream. When I First purchased it I wasn't that sold, but now I don't use it at all. This BB Cream has little to no coverage and leaves my skin feeling very oily. I would not repurchase this product again.

Rating: 3/10

#3- Garnier BB Cream Oil-Free

This is almost exactly like Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfecter. I love that they have made an oil free BB cream and because of the creation of this product I hardly use my Miracle Skin Perfector anymore. One thing that I wish Garnier would take into consideration is the colour range, once again only having 2 colours to choose from.

Rating: 7/10

#4- Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter

This BB cream to me is so close to a foundation. It has medium coverage and I find that it can make my T-Zone oily so I use my Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder to set it. One thing I dislike about this product is that there is only two colours to choose from light which I find makes my skin look like  Edward Cullen and Medium that makes me look like an Oompa Loompa.
