Dare magazine // June 2019

Hello darlings.

I thought i would come on here quick just to let you know about the latest issue of DARE magazine. I love getting this magazine its always such good value. I'm a bit late writing this as it has been out for a while. I remember i missed the last issue and i was gutted. The June issue has 2 products and several sachets which is perfect as i go on holiday in 2 weeks so perfect timing. It was £3 and has the value of £11. 

It comes with a sample of J Low's Enduring glow perfume which smells amazing. A sample of the shampoo and conditioner of the Mane n Tail, i've heard so many good things about this brand and i look forward to trying this. A full size Revolution liquid highlight in the shade Rose Gold, this is £6 so double what i paid so this alone makes the purchase worth it. Its a little bit dark for my skin tone but i will make it work as it is so beautiful. Maybe an an eye shadow? Next a mini Colgate tooth paste, great for my holiday. A Hawaiian Tropic Sun Cream sample again great for my holiday! Its like they knew. Lastly the magazine also contains a book of vouchers to spend at Superdrug, these are points vouchers and discounts on their nail and brow bar. 

Have you picked up your copy?

Empties // February 2019

Good evening darlings,

Today's post is an old classic empties post. I don't do these very often as i take a while to empty or pan products. I'm always trying new things so i tend to have a lot of half used items and not many empties! So lets begin!

Makeup:

Maybelline Lash Sensational, this is my holy grail of mascaras, you will always see one of these in my hauls and empties. Its has the perfect wand, its rubber and curved to curl the lashes. It gives length and volume without clumping. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, everyone and their mother uses this powder and with good reason its a great matte powder. One of the best on the high street and a bargain for only £3.99, i will definitely be picking this one up again.

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer, its taken my quite a while to use up this concealer. I've really enjoyed the colour match and coverage but its one i used every now and then so i don't think i'm going to repurchase any time soon as there are other ones i like more.

 Skincare:

Garnier Miceller Water, i really enjoy using this miceller water to take my makeup off, i do think its a little pricey when you can buy similar ones for half the price. But when its is on offer i will definitely pick one up. Its a very gentle cleanser and good for stubborn makeup!

Skin Republic Collagen Under Eye Mask, i really enjoy using under eye masks, i'm obsessed with using anything that could get rid of my dark circles and fine lines. These masks were not bad but not a miracle, so i wont be repurchasing, but i'm glad i tried them.

Hair Care:

Tony & Guy Damage Repair Shampoo, this is the only hair product this month, i bought this shampoo in Home Bargains for i think £1.99 or £2.99. I really enjoyed it, i wouldn't pay £7.19 full price but if i see it in there again i will grab a couple bottles. It made my hair feel clear, smooth and healthy looking, i'm quite a fan of Tony & Guy hair products so i do recommend them.

Perfume: 

Ghost Original Fragrance, this is a perfume i've been working on for a while, its a nice light fragrance that is good for everyday. Its a really likeable scent, not too overpowering so i think most people will like it. I won't repurchase tho at least not for a while as i have so many still to use. 

I'd love to know what products have you used up this month?

Have you tried any of these

My Current Haircare Routine/Favourites I Perfect Fixations

Hello Darlings

Its been a while since i've posted on Perfect Fixations which makes me sad but i was sitting in bed and suddenly had the inspiration to write a post, don't you just love it when that happens? I always get the nicest comments on my hair so i thought i'd do a little post on my current hair care routine and a couple of favourites that i have. These are all affordable drug store products and most of them i have loved for years. 

I hope you enjoy :) 

When it comes to washing my hair i have a couple of favourites, so i'll start off with shampoos and hair masks: I have been using the L'Oreal Elvive Re-nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner for quite some time, i have quite long and somewhat dry hair so i find this shampoo and condition are they best to keep my hair soft and hydrated. On top of that i love to use hair masks, i find them to be the quickest and simplest method of looking after my hair, i've mentioned different ones in monthly favourites but the two i've been lovely recently are The Superdrug Own Brand Coconut Oil Mask and the Dove Intensive Repair Mask, i use a hair mask about twice a week, plus they are good if you re having a little pampering session! 

Continuing with my routine i find that dry shampoos are really important, i find the Batiste ones are the best, i've used them for years, my favourite is the cherry one to me it has the nicest smell.

Now going on to a couple styling products that i love, i've recently started using the TRESemme perfect undone spray that give naturally waves, i really like the product it last a long time and doesn't make my hair greasy. Lastly hair sprays, i find for keeping a hair style in place all day a good hair spray is essential, i have quite long hair so i'm quite lucky that i can do a range of styles and the sprays i like for this is the L'Oreal Elnett Stain spray and the TRESemme Salon Finish.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post, i'd love to know what hair products you love using? Can you recommend me any good ones?

August Favourites 2015 I Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings.

Its been a while since i did a monthly favourites, i missed June and July, but this month there have been a few next products i have been loving so i was really excited to write this post.

I hope you enjoy :)

As you guys know i have quite long hair, not as long i use to have but still long enough that i have to make an effort to keep it in as best condition as i can, for this i used hair masks, they are quick and easy and a sustainable method for me. I've had my fair few of them over the years, the latest one i've been enjoying is The Superdrug Coconut Water and Coconut Oil Masque, coconut oil is great for your hair and in a masque is brilliant making it easier for me to remember to use.

Next up is my Garnier Micellar Water, i bought a small travel size to being with as i didn't know if i was going to like this or if it would be the same as my other micellar waters and honestly it is, there's not much difference, except it doesn't sting my eyes which is brilliant like some of the others micellar water do when removing eye makeup. I am enjoying this and will buy the full size when it runs out.

Maybelline Lash Sensational is no secret to the blogging community, famous for being a dupe for the Benefit Roller Lash (which i LOVE) i think this is a great drugstore alternative, the wand is great for getting into the lashes and giving volume and length and i love the packaging, its so sleek.

Lastly, brows, i've been trying out a couple of new brow products these past few month and the I Love Makeup, Brow Kit is really good, the lightest brown is perfect for a natural look for those days when i'm keeping ti more casual and going for the 'no makeup look' 

Thats it for this month another month has gone so fast, i can't believe it is now September, how crazy is that! I'd love to know what some of your August favourites are? What products have you been loving?

November Favourites | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today's post is my November Favourites. This post always comes around so fast! But there are quite a few things i've been loving this month so i hope you enjoy!

(I apologize for the picture quality, but due to the season i'm finding it harder to get good lighting for pictures!)

Starting with makeup:

The Naked Basics 2 palettes, I got this for my birthday at the start of the month and haven't stopped wearing it! I love everything that Urban Decay produces, their eyeshadows are so amazing and this palette is perfect for everyday use. You can read my review here. Next up is the Soap and Glory Brow Archery this was a recent purchase (you can read my haul here) and i love it. I can't believe i have survived this long without it. Its the perfect colour and texture for me with a crayon one side and a pen the other. Perfect for filling in those extra hairs i've over plucked! Last makeup product is Max Factor Exilir Lipstick in 'Rosewood' this lipstick i've been loving these past autumn months, it the perfect berry colour that is not too purple/bright, its perfect for everyday use. Its creamy and not drying at all. Plus is smells so good! My berry lips post you can find here.

Skincare:

My life saving skincare product this month is Superdrug's Tea Tree Exfoliating scrub. In the Winter months my combination skin goes straight to dry and this year i have found it worse than ever. One product has help get rid of some of this is this one, its not too rough on the skin, smells really nice and you see the affects immediately. I would highly recommend this product. 

Hair Care:

This month has been a super busy one for me so i haven't had a much time to wash my hair as usual, the product that has really helped me is the CoLab Dry Shampoo in 'New York'. Its perfect for leaving my hair fresh all day while giving it volume. Plus it smells great. 

Fragrance:

Last but not least, another item that smells lush (as you can tell scent is very important to me) is the  Ghost Original Perfume that i got for my birthday I love this, i'm not very good at describing smells but you'll have to take my word that its awesome. I highly recommend trying it if you are in a shop that sells it, its so nice.

Thats all for this months favourites, i hope you enjoyed it. I'd love to know have you tried any of these products? And what have you been loving this month? Let me know down in the comments!

My Current Hair Care Routine October 2014

Hello darlings

Today i have for you my current hair care routine. I really enjoyed making a post about my everyday makeup so i thought i would do one for my hair as its another type of post i love reading on other people's blogs! My hair routine rarely changes, i have pretty regular/ordinary hair so there isn't any magical special product i use. (I wish there was!)

I'll start off with shampoo and conditioner. At the moment i'm using the TRESemme luxurious mostiure range, i'm really liking this as i feel because my hair is quite long it gets dry quite easily so its nice to just give it that little extra help to stay in the best condition it can.

Another of my favourite ways to keep my hair healthy and in good condition is the Dove 'damage solutions' hair mask. I'm a massive fan of face masks so i was thrilled when i found out you can get them for your hair too! I think they are brilliant in keeping your hair in good condition all you do it put it in your hair for about 5 minutes i a week or ever 2 weeks and then your hair is so soft. I highly recommend this is you hair damaged hair from bleaching or heat styling. 

Next up hair spray that i am currently loving is the TRESemme salon finish extra hold. I find its great at keeping my curls in and doesn't leave that horrible hardness that quite a lot of hair spray do. 

How could i leave out dry shampoo it is a girls best friend and of course it has to be Batiste. This is my favourite scent its the Cherry one :)

I hope you enjoyed reading this, let me know what hair care products you've been loving. I love finding new products.

'My most worn' tag.

I saw this tag a few days ago and thought I’d give it a go! So here are all the products/items i have been loving this month. 

My most worn...

Book: (Not really worn this but I thought I’d put it in as well.) 'Elizabeth' By J.Randy Tararorrelli, such an amazing book about one of my idols, the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor. I love J.R Taraborrelli books, and have read many of his books including his book on Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson. I highly recommend them!

Hair product: Batiste dry shampoo. I literally rely on this stuff! Its the best dry shampoo i have ever tried.

Makeup item: The Urban Decay basics palette. I bought this last month and have used no other eye-shadows. Its perfect for everyday looks, basic, matte, natural and smoky eyes. Also they are really pigmented and stay on for a really long time.

Nail varnish: Barry M nail polish in shade 1A Red wine. My all time favourite shade, i love how its a deep red but not a bright colour. Its classic and classy. 

Here are my nails at the moment, i am wearing the red wine shade and 47 Black in Barry M. 

Perfume: Chanel No5. This is the perfume i wear daily, i've had this 100ml bottle for coming up to three years and i'm never bored of it. But i'm soon gonna run out of and must repurchase! Or if someone loves me they can buy it for me *flutters eyelashes*

Skin care: Superdrug's own brand hot cleanser. Its perfect for taking my makeup off with and leaves my skin super soft, healthy and clean.

Item of clothing: My blue stripped dress from Primark. I love the colour and the style and think it is perfect for summer.

Shoes: Black heeled boots from New Look. They are comfortable and practical. 

Jewellery:

Earrings: Square gold hoops from Primark, matches all my outfits, light weight and good value for money. 

Necklace: Audrey Hepburn watch/necklace. This was given to me as a gift from a friend. Its cute and light weight and Audrey matched all my outfits.

Ring: Gold rings from Primark. Again good value and matches all my outfits and all my nail polishes. 

So that all, i hope you enjoyed reading it, feel feel to do the tag yourself. 

Have a lovely day/evening
