Busy Bee - OOTD

Hello my lovely people!

Recently there has been a lot happening and I really have been a busy bee, with my Boyfriend getting a new job and moving and my family are about to move so been helping him move and needing to start going through all the rubbish that I have hidden under bed, I don't even know where to begin with that! The main thing I am excited about, about moving is that I get to decorate a whole new room and if you know me you will really understand how much this excites me :) haha

I wore this outfit to go and measure up things in the new house and we were planning on going to have a look and find a new bathroom because the new house really does need updating, but when we got to homebase it was having refurbishment done and the bathroom section was, well, not there so that was a complete fail, so instead we went a got yummy food and made toasted sandwiches, they tasted good! :) 

I hope you like the outfit! :) I got hotter during the day than I though and I really did regret wearing my leigh jeans haha!

My May Favourites

Hello PPB's

I hope your all loving this sunny Sunday! I am for sure! Currently got some cupcakes baking in the oven! :) I don't know why but the sun always makes me want to bake :)

So its that time again and I can't actually believe its now June! Seriously this year is going so fast its scary! I haven't had to many things that I have been loving this month, apart from the ones I love every month of course. But here are a couple of new things I've tried this month and have really enjoyed using!
Mane 'n Tail - I had heard a lot about these and when I went to look for some I found they were on offer on Amazon so I decided to give them a go while they are cheaper. I know hair always feel better if you change up your products so I don't know if its because its different or if it really is as good as it seems. I really can feel and see a difference. I'm going to give it a little while longer till I do a proper review but atm I am seriously loving this stuff!
Nivea invisible - Bit of a random one but I find it so hard to find a deodorant that I actually like the smell of and that works for long periods of time, but this ticks the boxes and obviously I wear a lot of black for work so this also helps with those horrible deodorant marks! 'keeps my blacks black' haha :)
Sally Hansen As hard as nails - My nails have been so bad recently, with the zircon now on at work they have become so dry and weak, breaking left right and centre! After using this for a couple of weeks I have really seen a change, don't get me wrong they still break but they don't flake if you know what I mean. I use it both as an undercoat or just on its own as a clear. I really hope it continues to work and my nails get stronger and stronger! (I can't find a link for this online, but I got mine from boots)
Benefit Gimme Brow - Okay so I jumped on the hype train with this one but I have been wanting to use a brow gel for a while and its had really good reviews, a few mixed reviews but mainly good. I have been really enjoying using this and again I'm going to use it for a little longer before I review it, but so far so good!
Collection Bronze Glow - I got this in this months GlossyBox and I have tried a Collection mosaic blush before and really liked it. Being pale I find it so hard to fins a bronzer that doesn't make me look orange or just well awful! haha so when I got this I was a bit apprehensive to start with but oh my I love it! I leaves such beautiful tone on the skin, it catches the light really nicely and works as a highlight as well, I really think this will be one to purchase when I used this up!

I love reading favourites posts so make sure you leave your links in the comments!

Empty Products #1

Firstly who is as sad as me that GFC is going!! :( I love knowing how many people read my blog. So I was wondering if you would all be amazing and follow my blog through bloglovin? pretty please :)
Thank you :)
Anyway I haven't done an empties post before (that I can remember) but since I have been on my scheduled post plan I have decided to add some posts that I can do little series for and this is one of them :).
I have been keeping all of my empty products in a little bag next to my dressing table so I can just drop them in as they finish :)
The Products
Redken Extreme Shampoo
Loreal Elnett Satin Hairspray
Elf Eyebrow and Clear mascara
Balance me Eye Cream
Lancome Doll Eyes Mascara Waterproof
Benefit They're Real Mascara
Beautiful movements prime and create mixing medium
Mac Blot Powder
Redken extreme shampoo has been a god send for me! This is my second bottle and I seriously couldn't live without it! It really has saved my hair! I did a post all about it HERE so I wont ramble on! :)
I had only ever heard good things about Loreal Elnett hairsprays, I normally just went for cheap hairspray, but I got this one when it was on offer in boots. To be honest I don't really get the hype, Yes it smells better than most and yes I doesn't leave your hair crispy and crunchy, but it really didn't keep a style in my hair, I was really disappointed in this :(. Sadly I wont be rushing out to buy another one :(
Elf Eyebrow and Clear Mascara I will be purchasing again! I didn't actually use the one that's meant for mascara as mascara though...did that make sense?... and I used the brush that was meant for mascara for my eyebrows, I just preferred the shape of the brush. I love this stuff, it kept my eyebrows fixed in place all day and did leave any residue on my eyebrows which I have found some eyebrow gels to do! :) AND its super cheap! bonus!!!
I got the Balance me eye cream in a glossybox, It claims to sooth, brighten and lift your under eyes, I have to say I liked it, I used it every morning before make up and i just found it to help with under eye bags, it helped make my eyes look more awake, I wont purchase it again I didn't think it was amazing, but it was really ncie to be able to try it! Thanks Glossybox
Onto Lancome Doll Eye Mascara..Well this is seriously my favourite mascara! I brought the waterproof one because I find normal mascara smudges on my pretty badly through out the day but the waterproof one stays  put all day! The effect it gives the lashes is beautiful! so natural and full, the perfect flutter lashes! :)
I brought Benefit's They're real mascara honestly because it had had so many good reviews and I gave it to them haha, I does live up to its reviews, its gives thick long lashes. I have brought 2 bottles of this however I don't think I will get it again, I just find it makes me lashes very spider leg like, I prefere the softer 'butterfly wing' look.
Again I got the Beautiful Movements prime and mixing medium in a glossybox. You can use it to make powder products into cream and as a primer, I used this as a primer, It leaves your skin looking matte and I love that finish, I think it looks cleaner and fresher on my face and it made my make up last pretty much all day! I really want to get this in full size, Hopefully next month :)
Finally Mac Blot powder, I love this, its just a light finishing powder or it can just be used on its own if you want really light coverage just to stop shineyness. It lasted ages! and I was so upset when it ran out, I guess the only bonus being i'm now one empty pot closer to getting a free lipstick!! :D

I hope you have liked this post! I really enjoyed remembering my I like these products or not liked so much :)

Please don't forget to follow on bloglovin!

Lots of Love
