 Rimmel wake me up foundation - £8.99 (Boots)

 I've been reaching for this little beauty over my normal foundation mac studio fix fluid (NC20) in an attempt
 to make myself look more awake and dewy and I really love this foundation, it's medium coverage and
 feels light on your skin, I'm in the shade soft beige.

 The body Shop vanilla body lotion - £8 (No longer available)

 I'm surprised I haven't got a spoon and started eating this stuff yet, it smells soo good. the bottle says
 "luxurious skin softening with warm vanilla scent" and I 100% agree, it's a sweet smell that isn't too over
 powering which lingers on the skin all day and leaves you soft and moisturized without being too heavy

 Macadamia healing hair oil treatment - £13.99 (Amazon) 

 I stopped using this for a few days and noticed my hair was getting unruly and looking dull, so I decided
 To use it again one night and I've gotten back into the routine of running this through my hair after every
 wash and it's made such a difference, my hair looks softer and sleeker. I'm currently half way through
 this bottle and it has lasted me months, i'll be repurchasing when it's finished

 Maybeline eye studio lasting drama gel liner - £7.99 (Boots)

 For the last few months I've gotten more confident with my appearance and stopped wearing so much
 make up on a day-to-day basis, which included eyeliner... recently I've started to really get back into
 it as I've missed my winged eyeliner! I have had this eyeliner for nearly 1 year now and it's 3/4 finished
 so it lasts an extremely long time without drying out! Not only that, it lasts all day without budging!

 Benefit "that gal" brightening face primer sample - Full size £22.50 (Boots)

 Now that it's spring everyone's craving that healthy summer glow, so I thought that this month I would take 

 "that gal" out for a test run, and i'm pleasantly surprised! it gives your skin a subtle glow and brightens

 up your appearance, i'm a faithful benefit porefessional user but this may give it a run for it's money during

 the hotter months.

 L'occitane dry skin hand cream - £8.00 (L'occitane website) 

 My hand savior. This stuff goes everywhere with me, university, work... everywhere! I get extremely

 dry hands in the colder months and this helped get rid of my tight, dry skin within a day... hoorah!

My first MAC lipstick | Thoughts and review

  MAC lipstick - 'Shy Girl' £14.00
  In January, I decided to pluck up the courage and buy my first mac lipstick! I brought it in the shade 
  Shy Girl because I thought the peachy tone to the nude would compliment my skin tone better
  First of all, can I just point out that these smell amazing? Vanilla is my all time favorite scent and these
  Lipsticks smell like sugary sweet vanilla, mmmm... although if you're not a fan of lipsticks that have
  a smell to them, the scent doesn't linger on your lips for more than a minute or so!
  The application is creamy and soft so there's no uncomfortable tugging and streaky lipstick!
  On myself, the lipstick lasts around 3 hours before I have to reapply and it doesn't wear off patchy

  This is now my go to lipstick when I want to just chuck a colour on my lips, because it's simple and
  doesn't wash me out and would I purchase more? most definitely! Although next time I'm going to be
  much braver in my colour choice.
