My Fave Face And Body Products

Hey guys, sorry i haven't posted since last week, but it was my first full week of school this week and i was just trying to get on top of homework and organisation this week, and I've been solo tired! Anyway, i think i have a post you'll like to read today, as i enjoy reading these a lot. 
These are only a few of my favourite products, as if i was to post all of my faves then you'd be reading this for years! 
Boots; Natural Collection body spray; £1.50
I love this body spray, it smells just so sweet and summery, and its just amazing. I think this is a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it, because in my family I'm the only one who likes it, the others all think that its really sickly. I actually bought this in the sale, and so it was reduced, as i know now after trying to look for another bottle in boots they have upped the price to £4 i think, and changed the packaging. All in all, if the actual price was £1.50 then i'd be buying it all the time.

Soap and Glory; Sugar Crush body wash; £6.50
This body wash is probably my favourite of all time, i'm not sure how many times i have re-bought it, but i am absolutely in love with it. It smells so nice and fresh and makes me feel prepared and good for the rest of the day. It smells a bit sickly at first for some people, but for me, well not as much! The price is okay, seeing as the bottle does last you a long time, it takes me about a month to get through it, and i use it daily so I'm sure £6.50 a month is a good deal!

Soap and Glory; Peaches and Clean face wash; £8
This is probably my favourite face wash i have found so far, I've been through so many and tried loads, and this is by far the best for me, but it is different for all people. It smells amazing! Like peaches (hence the name), but with a sort of minty touch to it, and it leaves me feeling and my face smelling fresh.

Neutrogena; Spot Stress Control daily cleansing lotion; £3.99
This has been a lifesaver since going back to school, and i would recommend this to anyone! I seem to get a few more spots when I'm at school then when I'm at home in the holidays, i don't know why maybe its stress or maybe I'm allergic to school? Whatever it is, this has helped clear then up, almost totally, and i think stop any more from coming because I've not had one more arrive since I've been using this, and its worth the price too!

Montagne Jeunesse; Crystal Masque face mask; 99p
I bought a few of these from Primark, just over a year ago, to try because they looked quite cool on the packaging, (btw it doesn't actually turn out like that on your face, it's a sort of see through purpley colour), and i have been buying them ever since, because they smell nice, and they leave my skin feeling soft and just looking better somehow? The price is perfect, i wouldn't pay any more for them though, because its a face mask!

VO5; Heat Protect Styling Spray; £3.89
I have been using this product for about a year or so on my hair because everything about it is perfect. The price is a deal, it lasts me a long time, and actually compared to other heat sprays, isn't that expensive! It keeps my hair from being too damaged, before when i straightened my hair every day, it still got damaged, but not as much as when i used to never use heat spray! The smell of it, is just omg i love it, i can't explain it so you'll have to go into boots and have a sniff yourself, but its amazing!

ty for reading!

Menorca 2014

Hi hi hi, so I've been wanting to do this post for a while now, but have been a bit apprehensive because in all these photos i look disgusting, and these were the only photos on my camera which weren't my brother playing football in the hotel, so anyway. 
I went to a lovely place called Son Bou, in Menorca, which is a Spanish island if you dint already know. This wasn't my first time being there, it was my seventh!, and all 7 times we have stayed in the same hotel, which is absolutely amazing! The hotel is called 'The Royal Son Bou Family Club' and if you haven't been there yet, i totally recommend going there, even if not to the same hotel, just go to the town because it is absolutely beautiful. I spent 2 weeks there and most of my time i was sitting by the sun lounger, reading and tanning, and managed to read a record of 8 books all holiday, so quite proud. (I might do a post on my holiday reading list as i read some really good books, but dunno yet). 
Also, i would just like to say that i achieved 2 really good things on holiday apart from reading so many books and tanning so dark, but i learnt how to swim PROPERLY finally, and faced my fear of swimming in the sea, so 2 cheers for megz!!!!!!
Anyway here is a just a few snaps from the holiday!

My Top 3 Mascaras

Hey lovelies, sorry i haven't been back after my "promise" to blog every day, but i just haven't found the time, so I'm not going to promise ever again.

I don't know if anyone else has a problem with this too, but i find finding a good mascara, with i like and gives me the results I'm looking for quite hard, some are gloopy, some have rubbish wands, some don't give me the length and volume I'm looking for, and some smell really horrible! Anyway, over the past year or so, I've found a selection of good mascaras, and chosen my top 5 to share with you guys!

1. L'Oreal Paris Miss Manga Mascara in Black, £8.99
This mascara has been a true lifesaver for me with summer being the party season and all, and now i find that i wear it on a quite regular basis. I also wore it every single evening on holiday in Spain apart from one, and i got compliments from people, and asking what mascara i use, so this mascara is deffo number one on my top 5. It looks great with one coat, but even better with 2 or 3, it gives you a good length, but as well as length gives you just enough volume, not too much and not too little. Another plus side with this mascara is that it never leaves tiny speckles of black under my eyes, even after a whole day. The only downside to this mascara, is the price, its not too expensive, but its not cheap either, but it lasts for a long time so. All in all, i would recommend this mascara to anybody.


2. Natural Collection Lash Length Mascara in Black, £1.99
Where do i start talking about this mascara, it has been one of my favourites for a few years now, and i don't know what id have done without it, especially when i was younger. This is such a good mascara, and considering the price, id suggest you go to boots now and buy it. It gives such good length, and give a very natural look, and when i was in the younger years at school, this was my way of wearing make up, and getting away with it. Now i don't wear it alone, it usually wear it as a base mascara before i put another one on top, because it gives just such a good length to my lashes. The only fault i have to this mascara is that it is only sold at Boots, seeing as it is Boots own brand, but id defiantly take it worldwide if i could.


3. Barry M Intense Black Mascara 3in1, £6.19
This mascara was a mascara i originally got in a Clothes Show Live Barry M goodie bag, and since then i have been using it and rebuying it and using it more, etc etc. It just gives such a good look if you don't want to go all out, and you want a sort of natural look. I now usually wear this to school, with the Natural Collection mascara as a base, and it gives me a look of 'natural but still can see your wearing mascara', so its just perfect. This price is a little pricey, and i think it could drop down to maybe around£4, but it is Barry M and i just find them pricey as a whole. But anyway, if you want a look like i have for school, then this mascara is definitely for you.
