Benefit's Hoola

This product is just unreal. I have had it lying in my drawers for months and completely forgot I had 2 of them!! So as I was cleaning out my make-up I decided I would give it a try as it is raved about a lot.

It is said to be the 'UKs no 1 best selling bronzer' and I understand why. As it is matte based, there is no shimmer to it so with my oilyish skin it works a treat. It is the perfect shade of bronze, as I have tried some that are a bit too orange and look like it's went wrong. However, not this one, it is absolutely amazing. I can't see me switching to another bronzer in a very long time.

I have also used Benefit's 'One Hot Minute' bronzer and I did love that at the time but I prefer Hoola so much more. It comes with the perfect application brush as well, so what more could you want?

Have you tried this bronzer before? If you have, what's your opinion?

Mascara Reviews

I never really use the same mascara over again unless I really love it. But I thought I'd share my opinion on a few mascaras that I have tried recently.

1. Bad Gal Lash by Benefit
This is one of the first high end mascaras I tried out, I remember getting it for my 13th birthday and falling in love. I've had about 8 of these and still love it, although I don't use it much anymore I always seem to have one lying around. I absolutely love it, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

 2. Le Volume De Chanel Mascara by Chanel
So this is probably the best mascara out there, but it is a bit over my price range at the moment when saving for a holiday. I actually got this as a free sample as Chanel were giving them out to try online and I was lucky enough to get my hands on it. I will repurchase this again when I come home from my holiday, or possibly at duty free as it is £25.

3. Scandaleyes Retro Glam by Rimmel
I also adore this mascara, and is the one I am using at the moment. It leaves your eyelashes maximised and look amazing. I was actually going to put on false eyelashes last night but after using this I didn't need to as my lashes looked as if I already had. So on the plus side it saves time, stress of putting them on and money for eyelashes. Bonus!!

When I was tidying out my make up I found another 2 mascaras that I've never actually used before, so I'm going to give them a try and possibly review them in a few weeks.

Have you used any of these mascaras? Which mascara would you recommend?

Party, Party, Party

It was one of my close friends 18th birthday party last night, so I thought I'd share some pictures that I have from the night.

Unfortunately I didn't actually get a photo of me wearing the outfit I wore by myself.

I had such an amazing night, reuniting with my old work friends, however I'm still waiting on the professional photos so will add them in at a later date.

There are so many things that I want this month and I don't even get paid until next Friday (9th May), and it's even more annoying that I have to put money away to save for my holiday. Anyway, I have picked my favourite pieces that I'd love to own and will show you below.

Yet Another Shopping Trip

So today I went to return a pair of shoes to Next with my mum and sister and it ended up us spending 4 hours at the shops. This was mainly because my mum was treating my sister to basically a whole new wardrobe for her school trip to Spain, and since I am skint I managed to get a couple of things out her.

I have been looking for a maxi dress for a while now that I can wear to the airport for when I go on my first holiday of the summer with my friends. So as I was looking in H&M today I found the perfect dress. The dress is grey, with straps and has a sort of elasticated waist band so it comes in at the waist. It is the perfect length, however I will need to get it taken in at the top as it is too big for my bust/rib area. But apart from that I love it, and it was only £9.99!! The dress also comes in black and blue and I'm considering going back for the black one.

In a previous post I mentioned a crop top I got for £3.99. Well I spotted another one when I was in today. I don't really know how I'd describe the print, you will be able to decide for yourself with the photo, but it is either palm tree leafs or marijuana print. It is black, with white leafs/marijuana and is very cropped. For £3.99 you cannot complain and will look amazing with a pair of denim shorts on holiday.

I nipped into Superdrug as I ran out of my eyebrow pencil yesterday and cannot live without it so bought a new one. I wanted to try a different one but as I am going out tomorrow night I thought it was risky so stuck to the Collection Eyebrow Definer Pencil in shade Blonde. I have previously done a post on this if you'd like to know how amazing this product is, just click here. I also purchased some of Superdrug's eyelashes for tomorrow night as I have lost the ones I was going to use - typical. They're called Natural Edition 11 Lashes, I've never tried them before but hopefully they'll do the trick and be lovely.

On Wednesday's We Wear Pink

Everyone has went crazy with pink today as it is Mean Girls' 10th anniversary today. Personally I absolutely LOVE the film. So today I wore pink to represent one of my favourite movies. And thanks to the asos delivery woman I got to wear more pink as my new amazing coat arrived today.

I got 3 items today delivered from ASOS and wanted to share them with everyone.

First off I repurchased Benefits Bo-oing concelear in shade 02. This was recommended to me by tonnes of people and many of my friends used it, so since I love every other Benefit product I had tried I thought it was worth a shot. And everyone was completely right, Benefit got it on point again. I've been using Benefit for about 5 years now, and love every product I get. It is cream based rather than liquid, and stays on for the whole day, giving red marks and spots complete coverage. I would recommend this to everyone!

Next I thought I'd try one of the 'Rimmel London 1000 Kisses Lip Tints' as they were doing a 35% off beauty products so it was only £4. How could you say no at £4? It is double ended, one end with the lip tint with the applicator similar to a felt tip marker and the other side with a lip balm 'to moisture and gloss your lips'. I got the one in the shade '300 Perpetual Plum'.

Lastly, is the favourite thing I've possibly ever purchased. I have been looking for a pink coat forever and when the one I have been looking at went into asos's 50% of 50 items I HAD to have it. It is so so beautiful. The coat is petite exclusive and a fluffy sort of material in a pastel pink colour. Everyone needs this coat in their wardrobe.

 I finished off my day with a cheese and bacon beef burger and peri peri chips at handmade burger co, and it was absolutely amazing.

Solait Tinted Bronzing Lotion

Trying to find a good fake tan that is reasonably priced was a challenge, but when I found this one I knew it was perfect.

I've tried a lot of different tans, but all I was really looking for is a non-wash off, non-streaky, dark but natural looking tan. And I've got all of these with Superdrug's 'Solait Tinted Bronzing Lotion'.

It comes in three different shades 'light', 'medium to dark' and 'dark. Personally I have quite fair skin but do use the 'medium to dark' and it is the perfect colour I need for a night out. Apply the tan the tight before and by morning you have a glowing tan, with only one coat required, with it still staying lovely after washing it off.

I often get asked which tan is used, and always recommend this tan to anyone who's looking to try something different that works amazingly. This is the tan you must try, and it is only £6.99. What is even better is Superdrug regularly have offers on these tanning products. This particular tan that I use is a cream based one, however you can get mousse, foam, shimmer effect, even wipes.

This is the best tan I have ever came across. Everyone needs this in their life!!

Have you tried this tan before? What tan do you use?
