Keep those lips kissable!

Hello Everyone!

So today I'm going to talk about our lips! Now that the summer months are far gone its time we started looking after our lips. With the cold months upon us it's important to keep our lips moisturised - because who wants dry, chapped lips and more importantly who on earth wants to kiss those lips? Lets avoid nasty looking lips and get them soft, smooth and kissable!

These are the lip balms and scrub that I'm currently using and they are all a staple in my handbags!

This is the Bubblegum Lip Scrub from Lush which you can buy here for £5.50

It's so pretty and pink and smells amazing I literally can not explain how amazing it smells. It's fantastic for your lips. You only need a tiny little bit on your finger and then you literally scrub it on your lips. It makes them so smooth and tastes amazing too! I'm having to stop myself from eating the whole pot!*

Next up should be a staple in every girls handbag. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Lip Therapy tin. You can buy this from boots/superdrug/bodycare and they're relatively cheap.

I love using these on my lips, this is the aloe vera tin. It soothes dry skin and lips, so it's perfect for moisturising those chapped lips and your skin.

This is the Nivea Pearly Shine Lip Balm. Again you can buy these from most drugstores and is relatively a cheap item. I love using this as a lip balm as its got a slight pink tint which is great as I like having a bit of colour on my lips, and having a lip balm and faint tint in one is great!

Now the two balms above I'm going to talk about together as they do pretty much the same thing. Except the balm at the top is a soothe and protect balm which does exactly what it says on the packaging. So it's another one to help with those troublesome chapped lips! The second balm is the basic Nivea lip balm which I usually put on when I start doing my make up to keep them moisturised. 

I hope this gives you girls some ideas on what to have in your handbag to keep you prepared for the cold weather!

*Please take note that if you have cold sores or any abrasions on your lips you shouldn't use the lip scrub it as it will sting and potentially spread the cold sores.

Hello Everyone!

No this isn't a post about a new breed of Bumble Bee! I'm talking about Bumble and Bumble hair products. This company is owned by  Estée  Lauder and was founded in a New York hair salon which has two flagship salons in Manhattan. 

These are three products that I use over and over again! They're the BB Thickening Hairspray, BB Styling Creme and BB Texture Hair (Un) Dressing Creme.

You can buy all of these products online on the Bumble and Bumble UK site.

        

This is the Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme. As it says on the bottle 'It's not a mousse and it's not a gel' that exactly what it feels like. Something in between a gel and a mousse styler. It's kind of a weird texture when you first put it on your fingertips but once you rub it into your hair the feeling goes. Rub this into your hair and style. I love this for making my layers stand out more.

You can buy this product for £20.50

 

This is the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray. Time to point out the obvious that this is a thickening hairspray! I love this product, I spray this into my roots all over to get a bit more volume. As my hair is getting longer it's starting to get that 'flat' look, which I'm really not loving. So it's time to start using this bad-boy a bit more. You don't need a lot of this spray to get a bit of volume, don't over-do it with this spray as it can make your hair look a tiny bit greasy which everyone knows is not a good look! The smell of this spray is different to other hairsprays, it is quite strong though but it doesn't really bother me. It hasn't got a very strong hold on it so this spray is more for volume than hold.

You can buy this product for £21.50

Say Hello! To the Bumble and Bumble Texture Hair (Un) Dressing Creme.

This teeny tiny little product is a sample, which has lasted me over 6 months! Let me repeat, 6 MONTHS! You may think texture creme would be used up so quickly, but this little amazing product lasts forever! You only need a tiny bit rubbed onto your fingertips to get an amazing texture to your hair. I love that this product gives you so much from so little, definitely a value for money product! It only has a subtle scent to it which is great as I tend to mix up all three of these products into my hair so having loads of scents would be so confusing and a little too much!

You can buy this product for £22.50

I definitely recommend all three of these products from here:

I'd love to hear if any of you have tried any other Bumble and Bumble products!

Autumn looks

Hello everyone!

So it's that time of the year again, definitely one of my favourite seasons for clothing!

I love being able to wear pretty dresses with thick tights on, digging out my  boots from the bottom of my wardrobe and getting all snuggled up by the fire on nights.

Here is part of my autumn wardrobe this year!

*All photos were taken on my iPhone and the camera is not that great so apologies for the terrible quality of photos!

                                     

 

  

As a quick p.s I buy the majority of my clothes from New Look! :)
