Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil Review


I have been using this cleanser for awhile now and I thought it was about time that I reviewed it, the body shop say that the silky soft cleanser will effortlessly remove makeup and cleanse. It's really easy to use and I do love the body shop skin care as it has helped me out a lot in the past.

So now that we know what the body shop say it does let's hear my opinion, I have to say I love the smell of this product and it's not a over powering, I find the smell quite relaxing which is always nice for a cleanser.
The purpose of the cleanser is to remove make up and cleanse your face, so pretty simple really.

The texture of this cleanser is really soft and does feel amazing on the skin which is nice and it really does making removing makeup quick and easy which is always good as it doesn't take me an age to remove makeup and cleanse your face. 

The packaging is really practical as it is clear which means you can see exactly how much product you have left and the pump is great as you don't end up with too much product so you don't waste much of the product. Another great thing about the product as on the back to gives clear instructions on how to use the product which is always a bonus ( I hate products that don't tell you how to use them). 

As I have already said I really love this and it works really well it removes makeup really quickly and easily and it doesn't leave you skin feeling greasy or oily which is always good and I have found that I can use this with my oily skin and if says it is for all skin tupe and I have to say I agree with it as this would work on all skin types. I also love the fact that this can be used to remove eye makeup as I dislike having to use to different products to remove my makeup. 
I would say that anyone can use this product, it's isn't anti aging but it would be suitable for anyone looking for a great way to remove makeup and cleansing their face. I will definitely repurchase this once I have finish it, which might take me awhile.

The cleanser costs £10.00 and you get 200ml of product.

July Favourites




I really can't believe that it is the end of July already, so on to my July favourites

The first thing I have fallen back in love with is my Naked 2 palette, as I love my neutral eyeshadows and I have also been loving my purple eyeshadow from Inglot. 

The second thing I have been loving this month is my Body Shop Camolie Cleansing oil as it makes taking my makeup off so quick and easier which is always brilliant, and it smell lovely too which is always a bonus for skin care. 

For makeup brushes I have been completely in love with my new Crown Blush brush, as I can apply any type of blusher with is which is great and it means that I can apply my blusher to exactly where I want it which I struggled to do with my Real Techniques Blush Brush. 

Another makeup favourite has to be my Estée Lauder Double wear foundation in the shade Ivory Nude,  although this is a very full coverage foundation it doesn't feel to heavy on my skin and it is the only foundation that won't melt of my face as the day goes on which is something I really struggle with in summer. 

Early in the month I bought a new scrub from the body shop as my peach scrub had ran out so i decided to try the body shop Blueberry Scrub Gelee which I have to say I have fallen completely in love with as it is a very good scrub but I doesn't leave a sticky residue on my skin like some suger scrubs, for example soap and glory flake away. 

Another thing I have been wearing a lot of this month is my body shop body mist in vinyard peach, it is a lovely stuble smell that lasts quite well on me, and it isn't a hassle to apply like my miniatures from L'Occitane. 

That is it for my July favourites and I would love it if you could follow me on twitter and on bloglovin.

My Body Shop Haul


So recently the Body shop were having a sale and when I received an email saying that I could get an extra 40% off I had to check it out so here is a Body Shop Haul

One of the first things that I put in my basket was the Passion Fruit Body Butter and I probably didn't need another body butter but I really wanted a nice fruity body butter an I am completely in love with it and I love the smell.

The next thing I picked up was the Passion Fruit Shower Gel now I got this to go with the body butter as I like to layer up smells as the always seem to last longer that way.
The third thing I picked up was the Blueberry Body Scrub Gelee, now I have to say this wasn't something that I thought I would like as I am very picky when it comes to scrubs, I have the Soap and Glory flake away and I really don't like it as I sticks to my legs and I don't feel clean when I have used it. Now back to the Blueberry Body Scrub Gelee, I really like this as it feels amazing on the skin and isn't too abrasive and the smell is amazing as well.
The fourth thing I picked up was Strawberry Shower Gel, now I didn't pick this up for me I bought 4 for these for my mam awhile ago and as she was running out, I decided to order her another one, as she really does like strawberry scents.
The fifth thing I picked up my the Raspberry Shower Gel, I do really love how this smells and I had told my self I didn't need anymore shower gel but I have used a lot over the last few months and I have a feeling my mam will be sharing this with me.
Now the sixth thing I bought wasn't for me as my mam asked if I could order me another Strawberry Eau de Toilette as she had noticed that hers was only half full so I picked her another one up.
I also picked up the Vineyard Peach Body Mist and I have been wearing this almost everyday since I bought it and I really to love the smell its not to powerful that it is too much and it doesn't really last well on me which is great.
The last thing I picked up was the Skin Primer Matte It, now I have been using the
Smashbox sample of their Photo finish primer but it isn't right for my skin so I decided to give this a go and I have to say as I first impression I do really like it I will do a review when I have used it more.

Travel Makeup Bag



So as I have said I have been away which meant that I had to cull my normal makeup stash, so this what I took with me.

For base:
I took my sample of my Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, I also took two sample pots of foundation, I took my sample of YSL Tient Touché Éclat and a sample pot filled with my Rimmel Match Prefect foundation, for my concealer I took my Seventeen Phwoarr Paint which I use on my blemishes and for under my eyes I took my Seventeen Stay Time 18 Hour Concealer in the shade Extra Fair and for powder I took my Rimmel Stay Matte power in the shade 003 Peach Glow.

For Eyes:
I took my Makeup Revolution Matte Eye Shadow Primer and I also took my Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 palette, which I  have really fallen in love with, I also took my Rimmel Scandaleyes waterproof eyeliner in the shade 005 Nude and for Mascara I took my Benefit They're Real, which I have been using for a while and I do love it even though it does smudge during the day but I haven't get found a mascara that doesn't.

For Cheeks:
I took a few products for my cheeks, I took my Sleek Blush in the shade Rose Gold, which I don't use very often as it is very shimmery but I do love getting it out when it is sunny, for bronzer I took two different products, I took my Body Shop Honey Bronzer in the shade 02 and my Sleek Contour Kit in the shade Light.

For Lips:
I surprising I only took three different lips products and I took a lip balm with me which was my lip smacker, and for my lipsticks I took my L'Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse in the shade Rebel Red and my Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 077 Asia.

Travel Skin Care



The first thing to do is to apologise for my absence, I have been on holiday for just over a week and I have been without Internet for the majority of that time and as I though I wasn't going to have internet I did take my ipad with me, so blogging had to take a back seat and it was nice to have a break as well anyway on to what this post is about my travel skin care.

So the frist thing I packed was a recent purchase of mine and it was the body shop camomile silky cleansing oil which is really great at taking your makeup off and cleansing and great for when you are in a caravan bathroom. And I plan on reviewing is when I have been using it a little longer. 

The second thing I packed was my one touch spot treatment as I had some breakouts before I left so I took this just in case and it really did help to reduce how red my spots were, although it did take a few days it didn't feel like it was drying out the skin surrounding said spot. 

I also took my body shop Seaweed toner which I have but in a spray bottle as it make it much quicker to use, and I do like using this. 

I also took my Nivea oil free moisturising day cream which I have used for a long time now and does he to keep my oily skin under control, which is also great when it is hot as my skin can go into over drive. 

And for my night time moisturiser I took my Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream and my Vitamin E serum in oil which is great and I love using this as they both help to hydrate my skin which although I am oily it can get very dehydrated so I do sometimes need to give it a moisture boost. 

I have to say when I go away I don't really take face masks with me as I don't really have a lot of time or space to use them so when I get back I will normally use them slightly more to make up for it

My Skincare Routine


Now I should point out that I really need to get back into my skin care routine, I have become slightly bored with it and it just seems like such a faff at the moment but I do really like most of the products I use so let's get on to what I use to clean my face. 
In the morning I use my Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Cleansing Bar, which I use in the morning as it is very quick and easy to use and doesn't take to much time, I will then us my Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Toner, I have been using this for quite awhile now I have really enjoyed using it and it helps to keep  my oily skin under so control, I will then using my Nivea Daily  Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream for Oily/combination skin which also helps to keep my oily skin under control. 
In the evening I will use my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish which I have been using since around Christmas and this is a really good cleanser. It is really good at removing my makeup and cleansing my skin I will normally double cleanse with this just to make sure that I have removed all of my makeup and I use a muslin cloth with this cleanser. I will again use my Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Toner and I then use my Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Oil in Serum and mix it in with my Nivea Regenerating Night Cream for Normal/Combination skin, which isn't my skin type but I sometimes find that it can be quite dehydrated so I like to use a moisturiser at night. 
So about once or twice a week if I can be bothered (I really need to get back into a routine) I will use one of my face masks depending on how my skin is, I will either use my hydrating face mask which I'd really amazing as it is great at hydrating my skin when it needs it. I also have a detoxifying face mask which I really like and it helps my skin when I have some breakouts.

March Beauty Favourites




The first thing I have been loving is my Illamasqua Skin Base: 
I have been using this almost everyday this month. I love the coverage that I can get with this foundation depending on the brush that I use. It is also the prefect colour for me and it doesn't wash me out which is a bonus an other reason that I like this foundation is that it doesn't make my skin feel oily which is a huge plus for me as I have really oily skin. 

The second thing I have been loving this month is my Body Shop Honey Bronzer in the shade 002 fair: 
I have had this Bronzer for awhile and I have found that it is the prefect shade for me as I have fair skin so I find it hard to get Bronzer that isn't too dark. I can also use this to contour and to just bronze up my face. 

The third thing I have been loving this month is my Benefit There Real Mascara: 
I have been using this mascara for a awhile now I have eventually finished my sample and opened my big tube that I got for Christmas and I really do love this mascara almost as much as my L'oreal volume million mascara. This really does make my lashes look lovely. 

The fourth thing I have been loving this month is my Collection 2000 extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner: 
This is another thing that I have had for a while and I stopped using it and I have recently remembered how much I enjoy using eye liner and remembered how to do winged eyeliner which is a bonus. I am also really surprised that this hasn't dried out yet and for £2.99 it is a bargain. 

The last thing I have enjoyed using is my Real Techniques Stippling Brush: 
I bought this to use with my creme foundation but I have loved using this with all of my foundations this month, which means that I don't have as many brushes to clean which is a huge bonus as i normally put this off for as long as possible.
