I've been speaking about it for ages and I've finally taken the plunge. Here's the result my very first Youtube video. I don't know what will come of it, if anything.

As you can see I was very nervous and I don't know how to edit yet but I hope you liked it nonetheless. Believe me I know that there are a million and one better and more fluent youtubers out there but I hope you guys help me out and maybe even subscribe?

Review: LUSH Butterball Bath Ballistic:

I've been told I was allergic to bath bombs ever since I was around 5 and had a reaction to one. Since then I've been far too nervous to try one but always wanted to. I finally caved in and guessed that LUSH would be the best way to go when I wanted to try out one since they use natural products. 

Butterball was the ballistic I chose since it was the one I enjoyed the smell of the best, it contains cocoa butter and ylang ylang oil. After dropping the bomb into the water it fizzed away happily and I thought that would be all but all of a sudden yellow blobs of oil  began to appear floating along the top of my bath. 

As soon as I was in the bath I felt it instantly sink into my skin (mine must have been drier than I thought) and it instantly felt so much softer. Even after getting out of the bath I had the softest of skin even for days afterwards.

Review: The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Spray:

This foot spray is something I got for free with other purchases and at the time I remember thinking oh thanks a lot I'll never use this. Since then however, I've got a job when I need to be on my feet non stop and have to walk back and forth to University almost every day. To cut a long story short my feet get really painful and hot!

This product has become an absolute saviour. I spray it onto my feet before applying foot cream in bed. I The smell is almost exactly like polo mints which I quite like, but my mum hates it so I guess it's subjective. I find the effect it has on the feet is instant and they stop hurting almost straight away. I also find that it doesn't leave the feet wet and the liquid soaks in straight away which means I can use my foot cream straight away.

I honestly don't know where I would be without this now so if you're in a similar situation to me then I'd seriously consider picking it up the next time you're in The Body Shop.

Empties #7:

It's that time again, the pile of empty bottles and tubes hidden away in my room began to be too big to hide away so I figured it's time for empties number seven! 

The first thing I used up was this dry shampoo from Batiste. It's the one for brown hair which is best for me as I find that all of their other dry shampoo's are far too grey toned and don't fade no matter how much you rub them in.  

One product I've finally used up is the Loreal EverSleek serum. I say finally because this product has lasted for years! It was actually one of the very first things I reviewed. It's not a bad thing that it's lasted so long because you need so little product and it goes such a long way and lasts all day. Both me and my sister used this for years and it's finally run out. I'd definitely pick this up again if I needed a new serum. 

This is another product that has taken me an age to work through mainly because I don't use much heat in my hair. I'm not too sure whether I'd pick up this VO5 heat protectant up again though because it's quite a sticky texture and made my hair feel quite dirty most of the time.

This primer has a full review up already so I'll not go into too much detail just to say that I hugely recommend it if you have any pores or fine lines or dry skin that you feel need smoothing out before putting foundation on.

This Carbon Black mascara from GOSH is a bit of a disappointing product for me actually. I found it got dry almost instantly and left big black smudges and flakes under my eyes. I definitely wouldn't pick this one up again.

I really miss using this Vitamin E serum from the body shop. I found it did my skin so much good and never left me feeling too oily once I had figured out how much my skin needed. I've since moved on to a different serum but I would definitely buy this one again.

This Vaseline healthy hands and stronger nails cream was one of the first things I put into my empties box after finishing the last post. I remember really loving the smell and finding that it sunk into my hands fairly fast. Again this is something I have others of at the moment but would consider purchasing again.

What do you think of my empties, is there anything you've just used up that you liked? Let me know!

New Hair!

 

Do excuse the posiness of these pictures but I'm still getting used to my new camera and I do have a new do to show off after all! 

As I'm sure some of you will remember I've been growing my hair for years so to get so much cut off seems pretty drastic but it truly needed it. I haven't had any layers added and the rest of my hair is now only an inch or so away from where my old layers were in the first place meaning that probably just a haircut or two more and my hair will all be at the same length. Now it's so much healthier I can finally do some proper styles with it and I can straighten it a few more times. Who knows maybe you'll be seeing a hairstyling post or two soon? 

What do you think of my new hair? Let me know in the comments!
