March Beauty Favorites

Well another month has quickly passed and we're already into the fourth month of year 2014, where the hell has the time gone? It only feels like New Years was just over a month ago.

Here I am with some favorites I have discovered during the month of may and some that I've loved for a while and I thought I'd share them all with you. I don't know if I'll be doing a favorites post after every month is up because some times my favorites would not have changed but I'll see.



First up is the lovely miracle 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution by L'Oréal Paris, it's basically a make-up remover but it feels more like water and not full of chemicals. It's an amazing dupe for the Bioderma micellar solution that everybody and their mother had and raved about. I have a post here where I reviewed it if you're interested. I got it from Superdrug for £4.99 but at the moment you can get it for £3.32, I don't know how long the price will stay like this so if you want to try out this wonderful make-up remover go get it NOW!

Second is another micellar solution but this one is purely for eye make-up and waterproof products. It's the Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Make-Up Remover and this product is amazing for stubborn waterproof eye make-up. I literally dap the cotton pad with the solution on my eye, give it a little wiggle then wipe away and it removes so much in that little wipe, it's amazing. Where as the 1st product I mentioned isn't very good with waterproof. I got this from Superdrug for 3.49.

Thirdly is the Garnier Moisture Match Goodbye Dry which is a moisturizer. I was on a hunt for a decent drugstore moisturizer that actually put moisture in my skin because I have dry skin all year round but even more so in the colder months and I come across this product and decided to give it a try. I found it got rid of a lot of my dry skin and makes it nice and moisturized. The product feels velvety on the skin and not that horrible oily feel what some products do. I recommend this product strongly. I got this from Superdrug for £5.99 but at the moment it's £3.99 so now is a good time to buy it and try for £2 cheaper!

Fourth is the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat and this does exactly what it says. It's super fast drying which is what I like as waiting for nail polishes to dry is so annoying especially if you have stuff to do. It also is nice and shiny and the polish underneath doesn't chip for over a week which is amazing. I got this from Boots for £5.99 but at the moment it's £4.99.

Fifth is from one of my favorites nail polish brands Barry M and that is the Barry M Matte Nail Paint Nude Vanilla. I love Barry M and when they came out with a matte line I was so excited to try them and they're very matte but you could also put a top coat on that will make it shiny and not matte if you'd like. Barry M has amazing high quality nail polishes for such a great affordable price. I got this from Superdrug for £3.99.

Sixth is L'oréal True Match Liquid Foundation Rose Vanilla, I love this foundation the coverage is perfect for what I like. I'll be honest, I don't wear foundation a lot because I can't be bothered to apply a full face of make-up but on days which is usually days or nights out to occasions this foundation is lovely. I found it lasts through out the whole day without patching and didn't feel too heavy. I got this from Superdrug for £9.99.

Seventh is the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Liner Nude and I'm in love with it. On an everyday basis I like my bottom inner lash line to be light so that it opens my eyes and this product glides on nicely and stays on through out the day. I have the black liner to this as well and that also is amazing, I really recommend these liners. I got this from Boots for £3.99.

Eight is the Maybelline Colossal Waterproof Black Mascara I am very fussy with my mascaras and I've tried a lot but I've always ended up going back to this mascara. It makes my eyelashes very long, voluminous and non-clumpy which is the look I go for. Maybelline make amazing mascara's and I've used them all pretty much and like them all but mainly it's this one. In Superdrug it's £7.19.

Ninth is the MUA Eye Brow Kit, this is the best brow product I've used to so far and it will always be in my make-up collection. The color pay off is amazing and it glides on my eyebrows. I use the top 2 colors mixed together and find it's the perfect color for my brows. I highly recommend this product if you prefer to use powder to fill in your brows. I got this from Superdrug for £3.50.

Tenth is the Maybeline Master Sleek Brow Gel Med Brown, I use this also on an everyday basis on top of my powder to set my brows in place and also to add that little extra color. I used to use a clear mascara on my brows but I've fell in love with this brow gel, it's amazing. I got this from Superdrug for £4.99

Eleventh is the Revlon Color Burst Matte Balm Elusive, I was excited when this matte line come out, I had to try them and I fell in love with them. The color pay off is lovely and although it's matte it's not drying at all on the lips as it is also a balm. Revlon does an amazing job with all their balm stains and are must haves in your make-up collections. I got mine from Superdrug for £7.99 but at the moment it's £5.99.

Lastly is the Organix Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. My hair is fairly long so I like to take care of my hair with moisturizing hair products to make it the healthiest I can. These make my hair feel very clean, moisturized and soft and is without a doubt my favorite hair shampoo and conditioners ever, and let me tell you I've used so many and none have impressed me like these have. In Superdrug they're originally £6.99 each but at the moment they're £4.99.

I hoped you liked my favorites and if you try them out let me know how you get on either in the comments or on my social media linked at the end of this post. Also I'm sorry for the delay in posts for over a week, 4 people were on holiday at work so I had quite a bit of over time so I was too busy.

Garnier 2-in-1 Express Eye Make-Up Remover - REVIEW

This product was in my Drugstore haul I posted a few weeks ago and I did say that I would be reviewing all those products on here for you all after I've had time to try them and I've had plenty of time using this product to review it for you all.


As I said on the haul, I had watch a video of glitteralittle on YouTube and she'd bought this product and loved it so I needed to give it a try.

This product is amazing for removing my eye make-up, I can't express how much I love it! On the bottle it says it removes eye make-up perfectly, even waterproof while leaving no greasy residue and I completely agree I put some product on my cotton pad and simply place it on my eye for a few seconds then softly wipe away which gets more than 50% of my eye make-up just like that and after I would just softly wipe over my eye again then go around until it's all removed which it's all wiped off very easily and quickly, even my waterproof mascara which is usually a night mare to get off. Also it says it protects eyelashes in 4 weeks, again I completely agree as my eyelashes are looking and feeling much more healthier and in better condition than before I used this product. It's a very gentle but effective eye make-up remover which doesn't sting my eyes which I am always very wary of when trying out new make-up removers.


If you try this product out partly on my review then be sure to let me know on the comments of this post or my social media accounts linked at the end of this post. Or if you already have tried this product out before I'd like to know what you think of it.

Hair, skin & body health drink - Lemon water

Lemon's are very good for you, they have many benefits for your body, skin, hair and overall health. They're rich in vitamin C and also contains vitamin B, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium.



Body: Drinking lemon water everyday will help you lose weight as it speeds up your metabolism and gives you an immediate natural boost of energy, a tip is to drink lukewarm lemon water as soon as you wake up to get the full effects. It cleanses your stomach which helps get rid of indigestion, bloating, stomach pains and cramps. It detoxifies your liver and strengthens and boosts your immune system. It can also cure almost all respiratory diseases such as asthma. Also it helps your oral health by making your breath fresh. Lemon's are acidic but when inside our body it alkalizes.


Skin: Lemons are full of anti oxidants which helps restore the damaged skin cells in your body. Lemon water purifies your body by washing out the toxins from your blood which keeps your skin clear and glowing. It helps get rid of blemishes, wrinkles and fine lines, making it a great anti-ageing remedy. Drinking lemon water constantly can help cure acne, blackheads and skin infections.



Hair: Lemon water helps strengthen your hair by making your hair follicles and roots healthy and promotes new hair growth so as your hair grows it's condition will be overall healthy and strong. Lemon's are a natural stimulant and since lemons contain the essential vitamins and minerals that aids healthy hair growth such as vitamins C, B,  calcium, potassium, ectLemon water also helps to treat dry scalp and dandruff because of the anti oxidant that lemon's posses which is very beneficial for your scalp, and if you have oily hair it has the ability to reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands that is present in your scalp, which prevents the hair follicles from getting blocked or clogged.

I have only just started getting into drinking lemon water for about a week now after seeing many videos on YouTube about the benefits of drinking lemon water so I thought I'd write a blog post about it. And so far I'm liking it, I only am drinking one pint of lemon water a day which is when I wake up and I have it lukewarm as cold water will shock your body and it won't work as effectively and fast as lukewarm.

I hope you liked this blog post and it helped you in any way. If you do try lemon water out then leave me a comment on here or on my social media sites as I'd love to talk to you.

L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution - REVIEW

Hey guys, so here's my first review and I hope I do this product justice as I love it very much.


On YouTube and the Blogger world last year water solution make-up removers were all the rage, well there was mainly one product that everyone was talking about and that was Bioderma but that wasn't all that easy to get your hands on but then other make-up brands started to release products just like it. Thank the God above!

After finally had enough of watching everyone go nuts over Bioderma I decided I was going to look in my local Drugstores for something similar as I read all about Bioderma just so I know the type I'm looking for and within searching the store I found L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution, the beauty of a products.

Let me tell you I will be using this not only to remove my make-up but in the mornings to refresh my skin forever, I have fell in love with it! It says on the bottle it dissolves make-up, unclogs pores and removes impurities and lastly tones and soothes skin. I can tell you all it does exactly all that, after a couple uses I noticed changes right away. My skin isn't all that bad with acne but I do get spots, mostly during the time of month for females and this product has certainly minimized the breakouts around that time, if I do get a spot it wouldn't last too long, just about a day or two and voila it would be gone with no hassle! Also my skin is now very smooth and hydrated, I tend to get very dry skin in the winter, it's horrible but I do notice this product making a difference to that. Before I first tried this product I was skeptical of using it on my eyes because I've tried many make-up removers and wipes that say they are sensitive around the eye area and don't sting them but many of them did sting my eyes especially the liquid forms so I stuck to wipes but this micellar water doesn't sting my eyes at all, it's very gentle and basically water. This product is a miracle in a bottle, I have already gone through 3 bottles of this stuff and I definitely recommend you all to try it out if you haven't as I also bought this for my brothers' girlfriend for Christmas which she also has fell in love with it and I'm also going to be getting it for my mum for her birthday in April.

In Superdrug it originally cost £4.99 but now for some reason costs £3.32, I don't know if this is limited time or a new price change, so hurry to get it for this price in case it is for a limited time. Also there is a deal on saving 1/3rd on selected L'Oréal skin products going on now!

If you try it out partly because of my review then be sure to let me know on the comments of this post or my social media linked at the end of this post how it goes.
