My First YouTube Video: 50 Facts About Me!

So, I finally bit the bullet and uploaded my first ever YouTube video! A little intro and the 50 Facts About Me Tag, as I thought it would be fitting. I haven't ever really wrote that much about me on here before so I thought this would be perfect to still give you all something new while introducing myself the YouTube community! 

I was so nervous and it did take a long while to film and edit but I wouldn't be anywhere with this if it wasn't for my boyfriend Callum with his filming and editing skills of which I will begin to learn myself... and my friend Matt for making my titles! I'm very happy with the outcome, although a little fed up of watching my face... I may cringe a little more with every watch! Although I know that this will get easier the more I do it! 

Let me know what other videos you'd like to see and any tips you may have! 

I'd appreciate it so much if you'd like, comment and subscribe to my channel! 

Thanks so much for watching!

W7 Blue Debris Nail Polish

W7 Blue Debris Nail Polish*

I'll admit it, I'm a nail polish addict. I can't stop buying or collecting them... There's always a different colour or shade that you need to add to your collection right? My collection is forever growing and this one from W7 fits happily in there. 

A beautiful glitter with flecks of blue, silver and black. It works best over the top of another polish, my favourites are pale blue shades! 

I love using it as an accent polish for an accent nail to jazz up a normal mani, the contrast between flecks of glitter are lovely! 

The best part about W7 is that it's so affordable! 

Have you tried any of their products?

Skin Revivals: Organic Facial Care Duo

Skin Revivals Organic Facial Care Duo* - Currently £24

You can also buy the products separately - Organic Facial Cleansing Oil £12 and Advanced 24 Hour Balm £16

I love skincare, I am totally obsessed at the minute and I can't stop trying new products. I'm always on the hunt for something that will work well with my skin and make it that much better. I'm pretty lucky with my skin, I've never really had that much trouble with it (touch wood!) apart from the dryness in winter. Otherwise I find that it's pretty normal. 

I was so excited to try out these products as actually organic and natural skincare is quite new to me. I've never tried a cleansing oil as I generally don't like the oil texture on my skin. I would say that this product isn't really for me as I just don't like the texture and have the right skin type, but if oil cleansers are for you then I'd definitely give it a go. 

The Advanced 24 Hour Balm is lovely when applied in the morning. It keeps the skin moisturised and nourished throughout the day, which is a necessity for my skin. I am very excited to try this out during the winter when my skin is at its worst. 

You can purchase these through Beauty Naturals along with a range of other natural skincare!

I'd love to know what natural skin care you use!

So...? Va Va Volume Dry Shampoo and Daring Fragrance

So...? Daring EDT*, Va Va Volume Dry Shampoo* and Body Fragrance*

So...? brings back plenty of memories right? I used to use it religiously back in the day and wouldn't leave the house without a quick spritz of the body fragrance. I probably owned them all at some point! 

I was excited to hear that they had a range of dry shampoo's coming out as I love to have a can ready to use on those days when you don't have time to wash your hair. The Va Va Volume Dry Shampoo works as a normal dry shampoo while adding volume and body to your hair. It works like the XXL one from Batiste, and although I do like that one too I love to have a different one to change it up a bit. My favourite part about this product is definitely the scent. With notes of vanilla, orange flower and mango it is right up my street - my favourite kind of scent! 

The body fragrance and EDT are actually surprisingly nice. I didn't expect to like these because it was something I used when I was younger and so expected the scent to be more suited to someone of a much younger age, but actually it's really nice! With notes of bergamot, spicy ginger and mint its something that I'll definitely get use out of, a quick easy spritz of the body fragrance when you're in a rush will be great!

I'll definitely be checking out the other dry shampoos in the range and will be having a look at the other scents in the range as they are so affordable!

What are your favourite So...? Scents?

Deborah Milano: Shine Creator Lipstick in Luminous Red

Deborah Milano Shine Creator Lipstick in Luminous Red* £8.50

Red's are definitely one of my favourite shades of lipstick and is definitely my most worn. I usually go for a super bright one that packs a great punch so when I received this one from Deborah Milano I was excited to try it out as it seemed quite different from the others in my collection. The shade was down to a tee something I'd wear, it's bright and very pigmented but the great thing about it is that it can be worn as a slight wash of colour or can be built up to a much brighter one. 

It reminds me a little of the 17 Hollywood Shine lipsticks, but a much more luxurious version. The packaging is interesting, a lot different to those that are in my collection - I do actually have another of the shine creator lipsticks in my collection and you can read my thoughts on it here along with some of the other products within their range. This shade is much more me! 

These lipsticks are very moisturising and really wearable. I think they're great for pulling a look together for during the day!

Have you tried any of Deborah Milano's lipsticks? I'd love to know which shades you love!

Celgenics Deep Cleansing Lotion and Classic Rose Water Toner

Celgenics Classic Rose Water Toner* and Deep Cleansing Lotion*

Celgenics was a brand I was introduced to while working at Baobella. I went and had a facial done which you can read about here, aimed at older skin than mine it still worked wonderfully and left my skin looking rejuvinated! I'd definitely recommend giving it a go. 

I was so excited to try out these products after having them used during the facial. The Celgenics range are made using the clean ingredients from homeopathic remedies, crystals and flower remedies. They are made to work with all skin types including super sensitive skin!  I am careful about the products that I put on my skin as it is quite prone to being sensitive but these products are totally fine. 

The Deep Cleansing Lotion works deep into the skin and removes all traces of makeup. I love to use this at night as it is super moisturising while leaving your face super clean at the same time. I love this product so much and it will definitely be a staple in my skincare routine! 

The Rose Water Toner has a lovely natural scent to it. Toners are something I really need to get round to using more, honestly I usually skip them out of my routine unless I'm giving my skin a proper pamper but this one is lovely to use with the cleansing lotion. There is no alcohol within the product which can dry your skin out which is perfect as my skin is quite prone to being dry or dehydrated so this works great. 

I love these products and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. They work well for all skin types and well, I just want to try some more products from the range! The Moisture Plus Moisturiser and award winning Eye Essential Eye Cream are next on my list!

Sranrom: Happy Moments Range

Sranrom Jasmine Indulgence Shower Gel £10*, Tangy Delight Body Cream £12*, Zesty Starfruit Body Scrub £16*

I'm going to start of by saying... boy do these products smell good! Sranrom was a new brand for me prior to trying these products but I am definitely a convert as these are lovely. 

The Jasmine Indulgence Shower Gel isn't usually the type of scent I'd go for, I like a floral scent but jasmine isn't usually my favourite but with this it just works. The gel is a creamy texture and works well to cleanse the skin while not really leaving a scent on the skin. I like this though as you can use a scented body cream or perfume on top without having too much of an overpowering scent on. 

The Tangy Delight Body Cream is definitely my favourite scent of the bunch, a gorgeous orangy and lemony scent. It's lovely on the skin, really moisturising and it lasts a long time. There's nothing worse than feeling as though you need to apply more moisturiser right after moisturising! The scent lasts too which is perfect for me as I absoloutley adore the scent. 

The Zesty Starfruit Body Scrub is my favourite product out of the range. I've definitely saved the best for last! A zesty scent that feels so luxurious to use in the shower or bath as it is super refreshing - perfect to wake you up in the morning! It is one of the best scrubs I've used and the result compares to that of a spa treatment. The skin feels super soft after use as the dead skin cells have been removed and it is the perfect base to apply moisturiser on top. 

Each of the products are in a range of different scents so if this scent doesn't sound like your sort of thing, I'm sure there will be something that does take your fancy. A little spot of luxury that doesn't actually cost a lot. More than I would usually pay for products like this, but I'm hooked as it is so worth it so I'll definitely be repurchasing! 

Have you tried any products from the Sranrom range? I can't wait to try more!

Hello everyone, remember me? Oh yeah, I used to blog over here... I'm so so so sorry I've been so MIA lately. It has been manic, I'm now back in London and I'm so ready to blog!

I've been back home for the summer and while being there I got a job in The Body Shop - dream part-time job right? As you can imagine, I bought a lot and found some new products that are already becoming staples in my daily beauty routine. I'll be posting about all about these products soon, but in the meantime to see what I've been loving head on over to my Twitter and Instagram accounts where I'm constantly updating on what I'm using! Not only did I find some lovely products I also met some lovely girls, and had an amazing time! I so hope I can go back and work with them all again. 

Now I'm back in London, I've been so excited to have the chance to attend events again and see some of the lovely ladies I've bet through blogging and meet some new ones! I was back just in time for Company Beauty Week - not just for bloggers, they had an event every day for a week! I went to the Origins and the Headmasters event. You can see images of each of these on Instagram! 

I have some exciting things planned ... and I will also be starting a YouTube Channel! I will make sure to post on here and let you all see my videos when I start! Please let me know if there is anything specific you'd like to see!
