AA Skincare - Frankincense & Rose Clay Face Mask

My skin can get dehydrated quite easily, as well as dry and so I have a fairly big collection of face masks and creams. However, I don't tend to reach for a mask all that often when I probably should.

Since receiving the Frankincense & Rose Clay Face Mask, I have been regularly using a face mask much more often, and can already see and feel how much of a difference it has been making to my skin. I am familiar with this brand, and have enjoyed using products from them before, and so I had high expectations for this and I was not disappointed. It is infact my favourite product of their's I have so far tried.

This is a natural clay mask that is made with essential oils to help to improve the skin and leave it hydrated. The clay is quite thick and dries within five - ten minutes, and is really easy to wash away afterwards.

The scent is quite strong, which doesn't bother me, and I find a little bit goes a long way.

I am happy to be able to give my readers a 20% discount: use BLOG20 at their website! (Link below)

Make Up Academy Luxe - Powerbrow Shape and Highlight

I totally bought this product on a whim, with no previous research and after not reading any review or blog post prior to purchasing it. I didn't want to get my hopes up, 1) because its an eyebrow product and good ones are hard to find, 2) this make up range is fairly cheap and so it might not be as good as more expensive brands (although I know this isn't necessarily always the case) and 3) I have products from MUA which are perfectly good, but like I said, it's an eyebrow product! These products have to be good, and I've tried many that just haven't been all that great.

However, I was really pleasantly surprised! Before using this product, my go to eyebrow product was, believe it or not, a powder palette from H&M which I used with the small angled brush that came with it, and this was my holy grail product for getting my eyebrows just right. Despite this, I fell in love with this product immediately and have been using it every day since. I find it works best for me when I use it light handedly - using a small amount of the product and building it up. I got mine in mid brown, and I believe there are only two other shades, 'fair' and 'dark brown' however I'm not 100% sure on that fact, there could be more, however these were the ones in stock when I was in Superdrug.

The product has a small nib which twists upwards at the bottom to make more product available, and the other end has a highlighter which although is quite a pearly almost pink colour, which I wasn't too keen on at first, it compliments the brown colour beautifully. The only downfall I would say it has is the product can be easily smudged, so I would recommend using an eyebrow mascara or setter on top to keep the product in place.

Halloween 2014

My best friend - http://thesecreationsbybeth.blogspot.co.uk/ and I decided to dress up as Disney Villains this year and we had a great time! I really enjoyed finding my outfit and looking up make-up ideas for the Queen of Hearts. Here are some of our photos from the night!

The quality isn't all that great as these are only iPhone photos! Hope you all had a great Halloween :)

Barry M Nail Polish Christmas 2014

I recently picked up these two nail polishes on my last trip to Superdrug.

The purple one is The Glitterati 'Fashion Icon' and the green one is from the Christmas Limited Editions and is called 'Christmas Tree'.

I love the new collections and the Glitterati line has so many colours so I think I have found what my next purchases are going to be!

My Perfume Collection

Since a young age I've been harbouring an obession with perfume. I think I was about 14 when I purchased my first one and I believe it was Britney Spears' perfume Fantasy. The on that was in the pink bottle with jewels around the lid that everyone was obsessed with at that time. I felt so happy and excited after buying my first perfume, and since then I still get the same feeling whenever I purchase one now!

I do have a few of my favourites in my collection, and others are more every day, and cheaper perfumes that I love the smell of. I won't attempt to describe the smells but I thought I'd share my favourites with any fellow perfume addicts! I'll start with my top 3.
