I love my beauty products you guys know that, I'm also a huge shop-a-holic (you guys know that too), but with a lot of shopping comes a lot of hoarding and neglected beauty products. Every now and again I do a reshuffle of my beauty drawers and bring the older stuff to the top and try to get as much use out of them as possible before they need to go in the bin. With that in mind here are a few products I want to make the effort to use in 2015. 

Revlon lipstick in Wine Not. I love this lipstick and always have, but it's only now I'm getting brave enough to actually use it day to day.

Accessorize blusher in Bombshell, I raved about this blush all throughout Summer as I'm sure some of you remember. Now it's going to be getting warmer again I want to get as much use as is possible out of this because it's beginning to get old.

Soap & Glory Puffy Eye Attack is something I picked up in Summer. You get a lot more than you think you're buying with this product and it's taken me a long time to use it. It has a six month expiry though so I want to use this up so I wont be throwing money away.

Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I love this foundation and it looks great on the skin but it's far far too pale for me. I may start using this as a base highlight because, again, I don't want to be throwing money away.

Last but not least is the Soap & Glory Mist You Madly body spritz, I've had this for well over a year now but it's still not been used up. I like a lot and luckily the smell hasn't gone with age but I never really travelled enough to take plastic bottles around with me instead of my usual glass perfumes, however now I'm going back and forth much more and it's really getting it's use.

That's all for this post and hopefully if I'm strict with myself you'll be seeing these products popping up in empties over the year.

Review: Soap & Glory Mist You Madly:

It feels like such a long time since I've done a review, I don't know why I stopped because they're one of my favourite posts to write. With that in mind I thought I'd write you another. This one is going to be for Soap & Glory's Mist you Madly body spray.

I absolutely love this product for wearing in warm Spring/Summer weather, because it's such a bright feeling scent. The scent claims to be "A flirty floral fragrant body spray" and that is exactly what it is. Imagine having a really nice young perfume (but not sickly sweet) with an undertone of the typical Soap & Glory scent then you've got it pretty much bang on.

It's a fairly strong scent and you can use it as a perfume on just the wrist and neck or you can use it as intended as an all over body spray. Either way the scent will last all day without too much need for a top up. If you did want to add a little more throughout the day though it comes in a fairly gentle plastic bottle which means you can carry it around in your hand bag without fear of it smashing and leaking or banging into things and chipping at stuff in your bag. It also means it wont weigh you down when carrying it either.

The name and packaging are both amazing as expected with the brand because I'm yet to use a product of theirs that I don't like. I would definitely recommend giving this a smell next time you're in Boots and picking it up if you like it. It's a real bargain too compared to most perfumes and has good value for money in that I'm not even close to finishing my bottle and I've had it for ages.

That's all for this post, I hope you enjoyed it and if you've seen any other products in previous posts that you'd like a review of then let me know in the comments.

Perfume Reviews:

Weeks and weeks a go my Mum came home from a shopping trip with her friend with a little bunch of perfume samples that she'd been given. Out of the bunch she gave me these three samples.

The first of the bunch (and my absolute all time favourite of them all) was Marc Jacobs - Daisy. As soon as I smelt it I fell head over heels in love with it and wanted the full bottle so badly so I could wear it every day. It's described as "radiant and charming, Daisy is a sparkling floral bouquet capturing the vintage edge of the violet" as strange a description as that sounds I have to say it describes it perfectly. It is a floral perfume but a very mature and not too girly or sweet kind of floral. I'd recommend this both as a transition perfume from young to adult types of perfume but also as an adult perfume too.

Another Marc Jacobs scent is Dot. This is described as " Chic and charming, a lush floral bouquet of beautiful jasmine and juicy red berries" once again the description is almost perfect the scent is just the right mix of jasmine and red berries. It's definitely my second favourite of the three, in fact these two samples have given me a real taste for all Marc Jacobs scents because I really love them both. This too is a nice scent for all ages, that I'm thinking of looking for a big sized bottle of.

Last but not least is Vera Wang's - Princess. This is a very sweet and girly scent, however it's not so overwhelming that it can be found sickly, I think it's the kind of perfume that you could only wear during the day if you were in a certain type of mood.  The bottle describes it as " Playful, Unpredictable, Spirited. A sheer fruity floral that is born to rule!" I can smell the sweetness of the floral in the perfume but personally I'm not too sure where the fruit comes into it. Unless you have a certain taste then I'd say this isn't a perfume for anyone over the age of 20, I'll use up the sample but as for buying the full bottle I have plenty of other perfumes I'd rather spend my money on than this. Although that being said if someone gave this to me as a present I would be grateful and use it as it is a nice scent just not the best I've ever used. 

That's it  for my little reviews, I hope you enjoyed the post and maybe it even gave you some last minute Christmas present ideas?
