Current Faves



I've been trying out some new products over the summer and these are the ones I've been loving!

SHAMPOO
As my hair is long, it's quite hard to keep it in good condition. As my hair was becoming quite straggly and greasy, I decided to try this. This is the Aussie 'Miracle Moist'. It has honestly transformed my hair and smells AMAZING! 

BODY WASH
I'm one for fruity scents in the shower, and this one does not disappoint. I saw this in the shops and couldn't resist picking it up! The Original Source Skin Quench in 'watermelon' moisturises and lathers up well, while waking you up in the morning and making you smell gorgeous - what more could you want?

EYEBROW KIT
I recently decided to put a bit more effort into my eyebrows in my make-up routine and saw this lovely kit on offer. The Seventeen Brow that Brow was a good dupe for a more expensive kit. There is a step-by-step guide for beginners and it fills my brows in really nicely, making them darker, striking and much more defined.

CONTOURING
Since my school prom, I've started contouring my cheekbones and highlighting. I'd heard rave reviews of the Boujoirs Bronzer and Highlighter & decided I'd give it a try. This gives a sun-kissed look and a good contour.

LIPSTICKS
I picked up the MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy - a gorgeous nude - and I fell in love! Look at my last post to see a full review! The revlon lip butters are super moisturising and I've been loving the red shade 'candy apple'. This gives a lovely red that pops on the lips - I adore both.

All these products can be picked up from Boots in store, except the MAC lipstick which is from the MAC store itself. 

I hope you've enjoyed hearing my favourites this week! What have you been loving? Let me know below!

Love,

MAC Velvet Teddy Review




I decided to go for the plunge and buy my first mac product. As I'm in love with lipsticks, a mac lipstick was definitely the thing I wanted to purchase. 

This shade, 'velvet teddy' is a beige-toned nude, so it pretty much just adds a bit onto your lip colour. I have fallen in love with it! I was a bit worried, as this lipstick has a matte formula, however, it doesn't show the cracks on my lips and actually feels comfortable - it doesn't feel like stone and dry on the lips!

The lipstick itself glides on really nicely - you can tell it's a slightly more expensive one. It also stays really well - I took my make up off in the evening and had only worn it 6 hours, but it wasn't even fading.

At £15.50, it's definitely not a cheap choice, but if you are looking to treat yourself, then this is definitely worth the money in my opinion!


Have any of you got any mac lipsticks? If so, what's your favourite one? I'd love to hear your recommendations! 

Hope you all have a lovely week:)
