I have such a love for lipbalms and dont go a day without using one. It was so hard to choose my top 5 out of my collection as I have so many that I really like but here are 5 that I absolutely love..
1. BalmBalm - This is a multi purpose balm and isnt just for your lips thats why I absoulty love this one. Its 100% Organic and can be used on your lips, cuticles, dry skin, everywhere and anywhere. Its smells of rose and has no tint to the balm. Its very moisturising and if you melt a little bit it can also be used as a face oil. The packagings a simple plastic, white screw cap tub and has pink font. Very chic. ☆☆☆☆☆

2. Eos - This Passionfruit scented and flavoured lipbalm come second, very moisturising and has such cute packaging. The pastel purple, matte finish egg has a screw off lid and he lipbalm is placed inside also in an egg shape. I love how you can just apply this straight to your lips without having to dip a germy finger in a pot! There are a few flavours of this balm and also some limited edition ones out right now! Love. ☆☆☆☆

3. Carmex Moisture Plus - I love this one, with its pink colour it leaves a subtle sheer tint to your lips which lasts ages! It is crazy moisturising and I feel I dont have to apply this as much as my others. I really like the packaging and how its a pop off lid with a twist up applicator. It comes in two shades, a pink and a peachy coral. It smells so fruity and I absolutly adore this product. ☆☆☆☆

4. Figs & Rouge - This is a balm thats quite similar to the BalmBalm one I have mentioned but I wouldnt rate this one as good. It come in a stylish cute little tin which I find hard to open most times and is also 100% Organic! Its a very Soothing and Nourishing balm. It has no colour and has a floral scent. ☆☆☆

5. Maybelline Baby Lips - I have the whole collection of these but this one, Mint Fresh, I prefer to the others simply because of its minty smell and cute green/purple packaging. You get alot of product in this and I love how its a twist up. Although this product doesnt last very long on the lips and isnt that moisturising I still always have one on me. They're super easy to just chuck on when your in a rush and perfect for young girls starting with makeup as some of this line have sheer tints to them. ☆☆☆

I was so excited when I got a call from my mum telling me that I had a package waiting for me at her house. As soon as I saw it I ripped it open and there they were, my eos lipbalms. I was like a little kid at christmas hahah! They are hyped about so much in the beauty world and I just had to try them so I ordered a pack of 5 from Amazon.
These lips are 95% Organic, 100% Natural and Paraben and Protrolatum free. They are packed with antioxidant-rich vitamen E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.
In my pack of 5 that I brought from Amazon I got:
1. Sweet Mint (Blue)
2. Passion Fruit (Purple)
3. Strawberry Sorbet (Pink)
4. Honeysuckle Honeydew (Green)
5. Summer Fruit (Red)
So far Passionfruit is my favourite as I absolutly love the smell and colour of the packaging. These balms are not very moisturising when you first start using them but one you've used it a few times and 'broken the seal' they are really moisturising and hydrating. ♡
I got my pack of 2 Beauty Blenders in the mail the other day and oh was I excited. I straight away took my makeup of and started again just because I was so inpatient and really wanted to see if they were worth the hype that everyone raves about on Youtube and Beauty blogs. Some Youtubers I watch claim these are amazing and they would rather apply their makeup with a sponge than a brush (ive always been a big fan of using brushes) but this little bad boy has changed my veiw completely.
These are a revloutionary, award winning ultimate makeup sponge applicator used by makeup artists around the world. The soft, elliptical shape makes your makeup look flawless and foolproof every time you do your makeup as it allows you to apply and blend foundation and concealer in hard to reach areas of your face. Its easy to use as you just have to get the sponge damp under a tap and it will double in size (as you can see from the photo) and then start apply your makeup. The clean and natural results are second to none. I have tried dupes of this sponge and they are no where near as good as the real thing.
I would most deffinitly reccomend the beautyblender to everyone and I rate this 9.8 out of 10! ♡

1. Fresh Lemon Juice
Mix together fresh lemon juice and organic yoghurt then apply to your entire face and neck, leave for 10 minutes and wash off. This will lighten and brighten your skin to give it that radiant glow.
2. Drink Lots of Water
Eliminate and prevent blackheads, dry skin and give your face that dewy look just by drink at least 2 litres of filtered water a day!
3. Tea Tree Oil
To get rid of a spot quickly apply Tea Tree Oil with a cotton ball directly onto the spot every couple of hours or so. This will help to reduce the redness and dry out it out.
4. Sleeping with Silk
To prevent your hair from breakage sleep with a silk pillow, your hair will just slide around instead of getting trapped and pulled with normal pillows.
5. Oily Skin Mask
Combine 1 Avacado, 1/2 spoon of Lemon Juice and 1 Egg White to make a paste and then apply to skin and wait to dry. Rinse with water and pat face dry. This mask can be done 2-3 times a week.
6. Softer Hair
Add a tablespoon of Olive Oil to some of your shampoo and use as normal. Makes your hair feel silky smooth, simple.
7. Red Lipstick
Wearing a red lipstick makes your teeth look really white, so if you havent had time to whiten them just put on a gorgeous lippy and give the illusion of white teeth, it really does work!
8. Shaving/Make your Razor Last Longer
Make your razor last longer by pouring a little bit of baby oil onto the blades before you shave. You can also shave with baby oil rather than shaving cream for a closer and smoother shave!

I absolutely love lipstick and even if your having a dull makeup day a lipstick can change your whole look and its even better when you only have to pay £1 for it! These MUA Lipsticks retail at juat £1 how amazing? They have 16 beautiful shades ranging from pink to nude to red and are packed with pigmentation.
The packaging isnt that fancy but theres a little surprise at the bottom. It has a twist off small jar with the same shade so if you run out you always have some spare until you pick up a new one. You can also switch up the colour at the bottom if your travelling so you have 2 shades in one lipstick, awesome!
Most of these lipsticks deliver a good colour coverage and they have some matte, sheer and shimmery finishes. They are really impressive for only £1! If you wanted the whole collection of 16 it would only cost you £16 while one MAC Lipstick retails for £14 so you most deffinitly get yours moneys worth. These would be perfect for beginners as tyou can easily find your perfect colour for such a cheap price! I do have to say these lipsticks dont have an amazing lasting power but they are definitely worth giving a shot.
You can buy these lipsticks on either www.muastore.co.uk or www.superdrug.com!
Only a few of these lipsticks have names whilst the others have numbers, here I have 4 and the shades/numbers I have are:
Shade 4 - is a sheer shade of barbie pink!
Shade 14/Bare - is a nude!
Shade 16 - is a coral/orange!
Shade 3 - is a dark red/berry pink!
