Makeup Tutorial: Bronzed Birthday Look

Hello my lovlies! 

Today I have for you another tutorial. I've been playing around again and as I said I'd show you my birthday make up I thought I'd do it as a tutorial, just to as a little practice.

This time I've also added a little product list, too.

I know it's a pretty simple look, but you could easily make it more dramatic by adding black into the crease to deepen the colours. 

I'd really love to know what you think! 

Until next time,

xoxo.

Soap & Glory: Best Of All Indulgence Kit

Hello my lovlies :)

Today I have yet another post I should of done at the end of last year, but I did want to wait to do a lot of posts until I got a new camera. So here is my first post with pictures taken on my new camera! I still have a few posts I need to do with photos I've taken before, plus I'm still getting used to the new camera, but I am getting there! 

Back in December I took advantage of Boots offering the 'Best Of All' Bag for something like£27 instead of the original price of £60. Such a bargain! I know they had one the year before, for less? But £27 is not a bad price at all. I'm pretty sure this has been blogged about loads, but one more can't hurt! 

The nice bag this will come in handy when I go to Malta in May, as it's just the right size for hand luggage.

All the products that came in it, including a little voucher booklet, that I keep forgetting about!

I am always forgetting to moisturise my skin, when really it does need it as it does become quite dry, particularly on the tops of my arms, hopefully I'll remember to use it more. It really is a huge bottle it's going to last me forever! 

I'm just about running out of my current shower gel, so that was a result! Again this is a huge bottle, this is going to last me absolutely ages.

One of the main this I was excited to try, I've seen about that it works a bit better as a mask, so we'll have to see.

I have seen this a lot on the interweb, so I'm rather excited to try this. It smells of limes, amazing :) 

I think this will be good for the dry patches on my arms and maybe my legs too. I've got high expectations for this! 

Doing a job where I'm on my feet with barely any movement for quite a while plays havoc with my feet, this will hopefully give them the tlc they need. :) 

At work I'm always washing my hands and wearing gloves which really dries my hands out, so this should be rather handy! (get it? haha.)

I wish my lips looked a little bit fuller, so this should hopefully help make them look a little nicer. 

I've used this mascara before when I got on in a magazine sometime last year. For some reason I like it a lot more this time around. I don't know if they've changed the formula or I just got a dodgey one last time, but this really is a little gem.

I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to go about reviewing these, but I will link them here anyway. I've only ever tried the 'Thick & Fast' Mascara from the entire Soap & Glory range so it's all rather exciting! 

Until next time,

xoxo.
