I've tried so many different face washes and having quite sensitive skin, I've found it quite hard to find a good 1 that works. Many face washes have dried out my skin, left my skin sore and even left me with a face full of spots due to it reacting to my skin. The only face wash I've found to be good enough for the past few years was any kind of Tea-Tree face wash. Tea-Tree has always been my favourite to use but the only issue I have using this, is that I've found it does dry my skin out a little and I have to use extra moisturiser to get my skin back to being soft again.

About 2 weeks ago I was sent a sample of the  *Soap&Glory Vitamin C Facial Wash* to try.

I started to use this straight away and put it in my morning & evening skincare routine in replace of my usual Tea-Tree face wash. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised at how much this has really helped my skin, not only does it leave me with soft skin afterwards each and every single day, but it hasn't dried out my skin either and stays soft all day, everyday. I really love how much more healthy my skin looks since using this face wash and my skin just glows. It cleanses deeply removing all dirt & impurities & leaves my skin feeling just super smooth.








It has the most gorgeous scent that I love and the few tiny micro beads that exfoliates your skin without that scratchy feeling you get with some face washes. It is a face wash I can happily say I would definitely recommend anyone to try.

You can purchase the 350ml full size bottle Here

MAYA - Black Gold Of The Sun | Blog Review

*BecomeMaya Black Gold Of The Sun Hair Styling & Curling Crème.

I recently received an Email from a new haircare company named BecomeMaya to ask if I would like to try out their new product for thick curly hair, which I had recently spoken on my social media account Twitter about having difficulties with my thick, curly and frizzy hair. So when I received this Email, it seemed ideal for me and I happily accepted.


Description Provided*
Maya Black Gold Of The Sun Hair Crème has a unique blend of 12 natural oils and extracts that repair hair, provide soft, strong, healthy hair, making your curls easy to manage, adding lustre and shine.

*Contains:

• Shea Butter
• Flame Tree Extract
• Tomato Oil
• Carrot Oil
• Olive Oil
• Argan Oil
• Marula Seed Oil
• Baobab Oil
• Cedar Wood Bark Oil
• Soyabean Oil
• Rice Extract
• Radish Root Extract

This hair crème comes in a nice cute little black tub with a twisted lid. As soon as I had removed the lid, I was kind of taken a back because of the smell. Not really a scent I have ever come across before and to be honest, it was kind of overpowering. The crème is white and kind of what looks like a gel type of crème because I noticed it was kind of wobbly like a hair gel but looks like crème.

As instructed I washed my hair & I applied a small amount to the root of my hair, working the crème down with my fingers to the tips of my hair. Once I felt enough was applied to the most frizzy areas of my hair, I then proceeded to comb the crème through my hair and at this stage I could tell the scent of this product was becoming quite strong and if I'm honest it wasn't very pleasant. After combing the crème through my hair, I then started to blow dry my hair and it was at this stage that the scent from this crème became stronger and it really took my breath away at how strong it was getting...the more I was drying my hair.

Because I have very thick hair it usually takes me around half an hour to an hour to dry all of my hair so unfortunately I didn't get to dry all of my hair, because of the smell, I had no choice but to wash it all out. The smell was just too overpowering for me to take anymore which was pretty disappointing.

This product maybe ok for anyone else, but I can only be honest in my reviews and saying that with my experience of it, I felt this product just wasn't right for me.


Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Have you tried Maya before?
Have you ever had a product that didn't work well for you?

It would be nice to hear your thoughts and any stories you have of previous products you have tried that wasn't right for you?.

I Won A Spaah! Facemask

Quite a while ago I entered a competition ran by the lovely Alisha Valerie and I won this really nice Spaah! Face mask, so I was very excited to try it because I've never tried this before. The day it was delivered I just had to try it that night. I love the packaging with the vintage style look and the name is quite unique. When delivered it also came with a lovely handwritten letter by Alisha on some very pretty paper, which I have kept and will be adding it to my blogger's board (another blog about that soon).




Applying the face mask I was quite surprised at how thin and clear it was, it didn't look thick like most face masks and it was quite thin. Even though the product came out a white colour, once applied and I began to smooth around my face, it became quite clear and colourless which I thought was great.
I know some people can be quite self conscious when it comes to face masks, so this is a handy alternative. I loved the feel of this face mask on my skin, it was cold but soothing and made my skin feel pretty good wearing it.
The scent was quite subtle and not too strong, just nice. After wearing the mask for 5-10 minutes I washed it off with warm water and was really happy with how super soft and hydrated it had left the skin on my face. It is a face mask I would buy again if I saw it in the shops or online because unfortunately the company that made it, no longer stock this face mask which is a shame because it is really nice.
Since first trying the facemask I have continued to use it and I'm still enjoying using it, alternating between my many other face masks I'm still using.

My February Favourites

A bit of a late Blog post but I thought I would write it anyway! So many items I've received this month that I've really loved using the most through out February, but I have had to downsize my monthly faves to just these few items or this blog would have gone on forever and nobody has got time for that! HaHa! Enjoy!

My first and what I've been loving the most of course is my LYDC LONDON bag to which I've written a blog review about, so if you haven't read it yet, you can read my blog Here I was very happy when I received this bag, it has been literally everywhere with me and I've had so many lovely compliments about it.

Real Techniques Brushes
Even though my husband bought me these brushes for Christmas from Superdrug, I had to put them in my favourites again because I use these brushes almost every time I apply my make up and I'm loving them and the whole quality of them. They are amazing brushes, so soft yet very strong, I never lose any of the bristles out of them and they are still in perfect condition just as they were when I bought them...well when they are clean they are! I can definitely say I've been using these a lot in February. You can visit the Real Techniques online Here



I'm really happy to be able to add these Freeman Beauty Skincare products again in my favourites, even though I use them a lot, I'm quite shocked they still haven't yet run out. But the bottles are all full size and you do only need a tiny amount of each product per use. I'm still loving these very much and they have done wonders for my skin, I love them all but my favourite out of them all is still the Honey Dew & Chamomile Sleeping Mask. The sleeping mask is just amazing and I absolutely love the smell, I find myself using this more when I can't sleep very well at night, because of the beautiful scent from this sleeping face mask, it really does help to relax me and also helps me drift off to sleep when I'm finding it so hard. You can read my full blog review of these Freeman Beauty Uk skincare products Here





Apatchy London
Another item that I'm proud to add into to my February favourites is my Apatchy cosmetics case, I mean who wouldn't add this into their favourites?. It is just so damn gorgeous! I've never had a big love for pink up until I received this in a competition I won, since then I have loved anything & everything pink. I just love this so much, I love the design, the glitter because who doesn't love a bit of glittery goodness in their life? And let's be honest a woman can never have too many cosmetic bags! 
Check out my full Apatchy London Blog review Here





Rimmel London
If you have been reading my blogs for a while, you will know I have been a massive fan  of Rimmel beauty products forever and I probably will still love them for many more years to come, so no surprise that some Rimmel products are in my favourites every month. Rimmel lasting 25hr foundation is the best foundation I've used and still use every single day. It just gives me the perfect all over coverage and stays put all day and into the next day too (Yes sometimes I do forget to take off my makeup *cringe*) haha! 
One thing I will say is that, this foundation has never caused me to breakout in spots or caused my skin any irritation, which I also love about Rimmel and why they will always be my number 1 favourite make up brand and I'm pretty sure always will be.

Another firm favourite of mine is the Kate Moss Lipsticks in the red shades. I've always been very self conscious when it comes to change or trying something new and most of my life I have always worn dark lipsticks, so going to a bright a red lipstick was very scary. These are the first red lipsticks I had tried and absolutely loved and still do. I wear them a lot, especially going out on a night or for a meal. If you have never tried these lipsticks yet and like me you are a bit hesitant about going for that full on lush red colour, I highly recommend these lipsticks because they changed my perception about experimenting with different shades & going brighter and I now love them. Most of Rimmel's products can be found at most Superdrug stores or Here online.





Heaven Skincare Dream Oil Serum
Quite a while ago I came across Deborah with her amazing brand Heavenskincare and to be honest I am so glad I did because her brand of skincare products are truly stunning! I was very happy when I got to try the first beautiful product from her range which was the Orange Flower Cell Renewal Hydrogel which you can read in my blog post Here And then recently I was very kindly offered to try this stunning product by HeavenSkincare too. This gorgeous Dream Oil Serum is amazing, I instantly loved it & I'm still loving it. I use it daily in my skincare routine. You can read my full blog review Here HeavenSkincare I highly recommend anyone to try because I know you will love their products as much as I do because they are so beautiful and really do wonders for your skin. If you're wanting to find out how great they are, then you will just have to read my blogs to find out.





Spaah! Face Mask

Only blogged about this face mask today, but it is in my February favourites because I have been using this quite a lot and I love it. I won it in a competition with a big thanks to Alisha who ran the competition and you can visit her Twitter page Here and go check out her Blogs via the link on her Twitter page too because she is a fantastic Blogger and I love reading her blogs when I get the chance. For the full Blog review on this Face Mask you can find it Here

10 SnapChatters You Should Be Adding

SnapChat - Millions of people use it everyday to chat, daily vlog, promote their content & social media, even have fun playing with the funny face effects that come with SnapChat and change on a daily basis. Like a lot of Social Media, SnapChat has taken the world by storm, even celebrities, brands and businesses are loving it. It has become so big that you can now watch vlogs from around the world on certain events, clips from the latest match or ball game and even something as big as the Oscars can be watched on their now.

When I started Blogging, I also started my own YouTube Channel. Making videos on Beauty, Lifestyle and Fashion just like my blog. Unfortunately I only created 3 before I realised that editing with a phone, just wasn't that easy for me...someone with little knowledge about editing videos. So I made the decision to stop until I could buy myself a Laptop. So when I heard about SnapChat I knew it would be great to use for my daily Vlogs.
Personally for me, I love Snapchat. It has helped me so much with my confidence on video and just learning to have fun with it rather than being so serious, which I realised I was doing on my channel.
I would now recommend anyone who is wanting to start a YouTube channel, to try SnapChat first before diving in because it just gives you that confidence first before throwing yourself into the deep end so to speak.

Blogging has helped me to find and get to know some amazing people and so far to say that I would love to meet a lot of them for a meet up over coffee. Snapchat has become great for many others like myself for daily vlogging, promoting their sites & just chatting to other bloggers. So many I love watching on Snapchat that just bring laughter and just generally make my day happier. So in my blog post I thought I would share with you the 10 people I watch and enjoy the most on a daily basis and I think you will also love and I recommend you to add them for yourself.

Favourite Five Friday

Hey Friends!

Don't you just love it when you wake up in the morning in such a great mood & Blog Idea's just POP! into your head?.  It doesn't happen to me very often, in fact it is rare & I'm usually the total opposite and  I'm always on the look for Inspiration to give me idea's for my next Blog, which to be honest I actually hate. I would love to just be able to have idea's come at ME! 

Anyway I thought I would create a nice chatty post and include my Favourite Five Friday things because I've never really done this type of post before and well why not?.

So leading up to this week, I've had a MAJOR clean up in our house and rearranged a few pieces of furniture (I get bored of the same things very easily)!
I've also cleaned my bedroom as best as I could, but not many people know just how tiny our house is!! The biggest room in our house is our kitchen and that's why if you follow my daily Snapchat Vlogs you will know I Vlog in that room when I'm at home the most haha!.
It is ridiculous how tiny our home is, I would really love to be able to find a bigger house but unfortunately we rent and where we live, houses very rarely become available because we have the countryside literally on our doorstep, plus the area is so nice...It took us around 10 years just to find and get here in this home in the first place!!

For the past few weeks now as some may know I've been trying to sort out my hair because I had Black hair and I'm now bored of it (typical me) so I'm now wanting to go platinum blonde and then be able to use temporary wash in wash out dyes to add streaks of vibrant colours into it whenever I like.
So going through this process, so far up to now I've used Colour B4 from Superdrug and 3x Blonde Highlighter kits. Before last night my hair was a copper red/brown colour, after using the 3rd blonde highlighter last night my hair is now a yellow AND orange colour.
Unfortunately I don't trust any hairdressers so getting my hair done properly is not really an option for me.

Two things I won't be doing again is dying my hair black and using any XXL Live hair dyes. It has been an experience that is for sure and looking back now I actually wish I had written notes on this with photos to be able to BLOG about my experience.

Anyway my plan is to now add 2 more blonde highlighters which should take it lighter and a platinum blonde toner that I've seen at Superdrug and that SHOULD get my hair to my desired shade (fingers crossed).

So apart from all of that, all I've really done is normal life stuff like shopping and paying bills (what joy)! Haha!

Anyway we are now on to Friday and it is my favourite day of the week as I'm sure it is with most people, so after my little chat, updating you on my past weeks antics (haha)! Here is my


FAVOURITE FIVE FRIDAY

1. School runs - I won't lie! As much as I love being a mum (best thing ever)! I hate school runs, because of my Social Anxiety and past bad experiences with people I am just not a people person at all. I won't sugar coat anything because that just isn't me! I just hate the whole standing in the playground listening to people gossip and female dog...(I won't swear in my blogs, sorry yet again just me) haha! But yes it drives me crazy and I find it very hard to bite my tongue with certain things that bug me. So Friday's, in particular Friday afternoon's are my favourite.

2. Drinking - Ok who doesn't love to be able to either go out or stay in with family or friends having a good catch up over drinks?. It's the main reason I love and look forward to Friday's the most. I'm not actually a big drinker and I actually spent many months if not a year without hardly drinking at all, I mean literally like 1 glass of wine or a glass of Bacardi & Pepsi within a whole week or even 2 weeks sometimes. Last weekend was really when we had our first proper good weekend in a LONGTIME! So yes I'm really happy it's Friday again and another weekend of drinking and catch up's with family hopefully.

3. Cleaning - Either leading up to Friday or on Friday I try to get as much cleaning done as I can because I love to just spend the weekends relaxing or just having fun with the family because sometimes you just need that break from the norm! (as they say). Sometimes it doesn't always work out though...being a CLEAN FREAK, I always find myself still doing the odd bits here and there through out the weekend, just not as much as I do during the week.

4. Outdoors - If you have read my previous Photography Blogs you will know there is nothing I love more than having a great weekend (by great I mean the weather) to be able to get outside and go for our usual hikes that we go on, mainly in Spring, Summer and Autumn because my body HATES the cold (that's another story). I love getting out with my family for long walks along our local canal or any kind of events, with my camera (on my phone) and getting some lovely shots of my family out in the great outdoors, wildlife and scenery, basically just anything that catches my eye. So every Friday I check the weather reports for the weekend in hoping that we are going to have a great weekend and be able to actually get out. Now it's coming back into Spring, I'm checking the weather again...in hope we can get out. Don't you just love good olde british weather haha!.

5. Enjoying Friday! - As much as my children ARE my WORLD and I love them more than ANYTHING and as much as I hate admitting it because it must sound awful to other's, especially people who are not a parent themselves. I love just being able to enjoy 1 last day of a quiet house before a weekend of mayhem, antics. Like I said before I don't sugar coat anything and I'm not the type of person to tell you how PERFECT my life is, because let's be honest...What is PERFECT?  Like any normal family, we have stressful times, our kids constantly argue & our home is never quiet at the weekends or in the school holidays. Funnily enough I actually look forward to the holidays more, especially the big 6/7 weeks holidays which is kind of weird....I think that's mainly because we can plan more fun things to do like going away or just going to the coast for the day, we love it. Anyway I'm sure any parents will understand this 1 haha!

So that is my favourite five things I love about Friday's!

Do you have a favourite day of the week and why is it your favourite?
I would love to know yours.

Swizzle's Refreshers Body Scrub

When I'm out Shopping I am always on the look out for bargains & any of my favourite  brands or brands that I love that maybe on offer because if you have been reading my Blogs &/or following me for sometime, you will know how much of a bargain hunter I am! I also love picking up new products I've never tried before to test out so I can write new review's for my Blogs.
One of my favourite places to shop for bargains is B&M's I love looking at what new beauty products they have in.
When I was last in B&M's which was around Christmas time, I picked up a few items, 1 of which I spotted was a Swizzle's bath set for around £4.00. I picked up the Swizzle's lip balms quite a while ago and loved them (as you can tell I have a thing for lovely retro items). They came in a stack of 3 tubs.






Instead of trying all of them at once and making a big blog about all three, I thought I would review them all separately and give each product a fair review.

Body Scrub 240ml

Body Butter 150ml

Bath Salts 50g

The packaging is very vibrant & look exactly like the sweet wrappers used to look, very eye catching and perfect for any girly girls (if that makes sense).

I noticed after taking off the outer packaging, that the tubs were quite tough to pull apart because they are heavily stuck together with glue. The inside was also sealed to prevent any spillage which is good, but again I found the seal was kind of fiddly and hard to remove because it didn't seem to have a pull tab to grip on to.

After eventually being able to remove the seal, straight away unfortunatly I noticed how watery this Body Scrub was which was a bit disappointing, by watery I mean there was a small pool of water above the actual product.
The Body Scrub's texture is like a sort of gel but very very watery, I noticed the scent was very nice, not too over powering. The texture wasn't too great,  very watery and it felt and looked quite a lot like hair gel which to be honest was not too impressive for a body scrub, in fact the whole feel of it was just not very pleasant at all.

Upon applying this Body Scrub to my skin, instantly I noticed that whatever scent was there...was now gone and I couldn't smell anything.
Another thing I also noticed was that it didn't foam up at all and still stayed in a gel like state on the skin, which was also disappointing.

In my own personal opinion, it didn't really do much for my skin and certainly didn't feel like a Body Scrub at all, it just felt more like a watery gel that didn't even feel, smell or even look like a soap product. Although this didn't seem very good for me, I would say it would be perfect as a gift for any little girls that love quirky bath luxuries.

Thank you for reading my Blog.

Beauty Facial Cleansing Pad

For a while now I've been looking at different facial cleansing pads to try to use with my daily face washes, but with so many different ones in all shapes, sizes and by different brands it is hard choosing which would be suitable. While out shopping my husband surprised me by bringing one back to try because he knew I had been looking.




At first I was kind of sceptical because it looked kind of abrasive and maybe too harsh to use on my skin but I thought I would give it a try.





I really like that it has a suction cup on the back for ease of storage close by in the bathroom and that it has a ring shape so you can fit your finger(s) through to be able to grip the cleansing pad whilst using it. I was really surprised how soft it felt and the small bristles was soft too, it was actually pretty impressive and I became quite excited to try it out.

On first contact with my skin I was really surprised just how soft this actually felt on my face, it felt really soft and not abrasive at all. Each bristle against my face was also non abrasive, not scratchy or uncomfortable in any way and in fact using this facial cleansing pad felt more like getting a soft exfoliating massage. The ring fit comfortably over my middle finger and didn't slip out at all whilst using it and this was good because I was able to easily cleanse my face.

I love the nice teardrop like shape of this facial cleansing pad because of the point at the top, this means its so easy to get the pad into the hard to reach places like under your eyes, in the corners and easily around the nose area. It was so easy to use, not abrasive in any way and was actually quite nice to use in my daily routine.

After I finished using the pad I noticed how soft and exfoliated my skin felt and was even more impressed that the skin on my face and neck was not red or in anyway over exfoliated or sore.
It is definitely a facial cleansing pad I would highly recommend to try and I am absolutely buying more in the future.

Have you ever tried these facial cleansing pads before?

Soap&Glory - The Scrub Of Your Life

Soap&Glory is one of my favourite brands for beauty products, their products smell amazing and always leaves your skin smelling gorgeous for days. The Scrub Of Your Life is no exception, in fact this body buffer is definitely one that I never want to run out of and I know I will always keep re-purchasing. It just smells heavenly and does wonders for my skin, it keeps my skin so soft and instantly gets rid of any dry patches I may have on my skin.
Suffering quite badly with Eczema for most of my life, this body buffer has really helped my skin to become a lot less dry.





The Scrub Of Your Life had actually came in a set with some other Soap&Glory beauty products in a gorgeous Soap&Glory Pink Bag and I was so excited to use them because before recieving that I had never actually tried Soap&Glory before.
The body buffer is amazing, foams up really well so only a tiny amount is needed which I was happy about because I instantly loved it so much that I didn't want it to run out at all and I just wanted to keep it going forever haha!
Sadly I have now run out and I'm definitely going back to Boots to buy more.
