February Favourites 2014

Hello Everyone,

Today I have rounded up my favourite products and random favourites for the month of February :) How quick is 2014 moving along!! 2 months have just flown by in what seems like a blink of an eye. This month I have been loving all things pink and girly due to valentines day so let's get into it.

Beauty Favourites

Revlon Colourstay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin: In the month of December and most of January I stopped wearing foundation and just opted for concealer and powder but I have recently been getting into this foundation so much. I love how it gives great coverage but still looks natural on the skin and lasts all day without creasing or fading definitely my favourite foundation that I own.

Essie's "Cute As A Button":  Whenever I was wearing nail polish this month it was bound to be this one, I absolutely love the colour of this polish and the formula is also great as well. I will definitely be going out soon to pick up some more Essie nail polishes as they also have a great colour range

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in "Cherish": This is my first purchase from the Just Bitten Kissable range and I absolutely love it! the whole idea of this product is that it is a lip stain and you apply it to your lips and as it wears off during the day it gives you this light stain on your lips as though you have been "Just Kissed". If you are looking at picking one of these baby's up I suggest this colour as it is the perfect girly pink colour.

Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick In 700 "Nude Delight": Every girl must have a nude lippy right and this one here did not. On a Big-W makeup shopping trip I was on the hunt for a perfect nude lipstick and I settled on this colour. This is the perfect colour for everyone as It compliments any skin tone. This product has an amazing formula and leaves your lips feeling perfectly moisturized and plump. 

Random Favourites

TEMT Watch: This watch was given to me for Christmas and I absolutely love it. This month it has been a staple item to every outfit.

Rexona Women Clinical Protection Fragrance Collection: About exactly a month ago I found my self standing in Priceline for about half an hour trying to pick a new deodorant. I had really wanted to try one from the Rexona Clinical Protection range and when I saw that they had one that was different to the original and had a fragrance I just had to pick it up. This deodorant smells so good!! It has a nice sweet girly smell that is not too overpowering and it has extra protection to ensure that you don't get wet underarms or any B.O during the day. Whenever I put this stuff on people always ask me what perfume I'm wearing as it smells absolutely delicious!!

Fox Frilly Socks From Rubi Shoes: These socks are sooooo cute every time that I wear them I find myself singing what does the fox say again and again so yeah.......

My Favourite Movie Of February

ENDLESS LOVE!!!!!! Ahhhhh, I loved this movie so much. I saw this with a friend two days ago but I thought I would still include this in my Feburary favourites as it came out on valentines day <3 This movie is such a beautiful love story and is just a really fun movie to watch. I definitely reccomend going to go see this flick soon :)

My Favourite Song Of February

I'm sure that everyone has probably heard this song already as it has been featured in so many things, but if you haven't definitely give if a listen. This has been on repeat all month on my ipod :)

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

I quickly want to share with you all my three blog resolutions for 2014.

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
