Blogmas #6 :Clutch Essentials

Hello ! Today I am going to be telling you my Clutch essentials for Christmas parties the holiday season !Make sure to tell me what your clutch essentials are in the comments or if you want to do this post on your blog make sure to tag me so I can see ! Happy Holidays !

Disclaimer:I do not own these photographs and full credit goes to the owners.


Firstly for the clutch itself,I am currently using a lovely black clutch from boohoo.com however I really want this Rebecca Minkoff Coco Clutch it is perfect and is definitely on my Christmas Wish List this year ! If you would like to buy it You can Purchase it here !

In the Clutch my Essentials are :

LIP BALM : In the winter lips can become very chapped,but you can't be worrying about that at a party so a moisturising lip balm that I love is the Maybeline Babylips or the Carmex Cherry Moisturising Lip Balm.


CHEWINGGUM:this is pretty self explanatory but I always carry gum in my clutch,ALWAYS !


SETTING POWDER: a clutch is pretty small and you may not have room to fit a whole Makeup bag in,but by bringing a setting powder you can be assured you will stay shine free,and it keeps your skin looking Flawless throughout the night ! My current favourite is the Benefit   'porefessional powder' It is beyond amazing !

Deodorant:
When you are dancing away at a party you do not want to have to worry about sweating ! So having a good deodorant that you can spray or roll on while in the ladies is key ! I love the 'sure' deodorants and if you want to go with an organic one try the one from  green people !


And as ell as my phone and purse they are basically the contents of my clutch ! Hope you enjoyed byye -ABBY xo

Blogmas #4 : Favorite hair products at the moment !

Hello,Welcome to my 4th Blogmas post ! Today is my current Hair Products that I'm Lovin' ! I have tried and loved quite a few products Lately so lets get Started !I will also link the website for each item listed.

Osmo Deep Repair Mask:

I mentioned this product a little while ago in a Haul post and My love for it has grown,i think it may be an obsession! This mask smells so good  that I can't even describe it to you ! It makes my Hair feel so so soft and refreshed !It leaves a brilliant shine and leaves hair feeling light and flowing! I would give it a ten out of ten ! http://www.osmo.uk.com/

L'OREAL PARIS ELVIVE EXTRAORDINARY OIL:

 I bought this product during the summer and completely forgot about it until I re-discovered it last week and I just adore it ! It works so well.I use it before curling/straighting my Hair and the results is my hair feels smooth,soft and looks so shiny ! http://www.loreal.com/

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO (FLORAL FRUITY BLUSH)

 

I realise that I'm a bit late with the dry shampoo obsession compared to everyone else but I rediscovered it and I love it ! Not Only can you use to get you through a day with greasy hair it is also  amazing for giving  texture and That is what I have been using it for ! Can't wait to get some other scents of this !
 http://www.batistehair.com/

REVLON PROFESSIONAL,INSTANT BEAUTY ,KERATIN ENRICHED HYDRO NUTRITIVE DETANGLING CONDITIONER: 

 

Well that is a mouthful to get out ! I received this a a gift and it is exactly what I have been wanting for the longest time ! It is a leave in conditioner so it's for those days when your hair is full of knots and all you want is for it to look presentable.All you have to do is spray this through your hair and comb through,it leaves your hair with a shine and gets you through without having to wash it.I will 100% be getting some more of the revlon hair care products !

Blogmas #3 Janseen Cosmetics review !

Hello,Happy Friday everyone ! Today is going to be a review on a brand called 'Janseen cosmetics'.I  was kindly sent these  products to try out and test, however, this will in no way alter my personal opinion on each of these products. This review will be all my honest thoughts with each item.All details about purchasing the products are at the end !   So,with all that said  lets get on with it !

 OXYGENATING BODY SCRUB.

 I love this scrub ! I am quite fussy with the scrubs I use and before this is I was using the 'gorgeous by gok body polish with Almond Oil' but I must say I prefer the new one.It has a really organic smell that made me feel so refreshed after using it.My skin felt so soft after  use and I felt it had really worked! I also was very happy with the size of the bottle and how little product was needed for my whole body ! Over all I was very impressed with this product !

 BODY LOTION.

 

 I was very impressed with this product.I tend to use plain body moisturiser with no fragrance or anything,because some on the lotions I have used had caused me to break out.This one was moisturising and also very refreshing.It is "Lightly scented' but I thought it smelled very organic and natural.It does take a few minutes to dry in, this however was not an issue for me.

In all I was very impressed with the Janseen cosmetics range.I do look foward trying more of thier products.If you would like to purchase the products  I reviewedor maybe some other ones the website is here.Make sure to check out their Facebook page and follow them on twitter ! I hope you find the review helpful and maybe got some ideas for some new goodies !

Thanks for reading ! xo

     SEPHORA FAVOURITES LIP SERVICE SET REVIEW ! 

Hi guys ! Welcome to my 2nd Blogmas post If you read my Last post you will know I am not doing Blogmas Everyday but I will do it as often as possible ! My last post was a sephora haul and one of the things I had gotten was a Sephora favourites box for Lip products.I was really excited to try all 6 products and I am very impressed !*PS'all the pictures were removed from my laptop so I will re upload tam and add themm in asap*

stila lip glaze in 'apricot'

I love Stila products and I hadn't tried the lip glazes before So I was very very Excited to try It ,I was not let down it's Amazing !The shade that was in the box is 'apricot' It is a really light shade,but its so glossy and it smells so good ! I used on op of deep lipsticks to make them more suitable for daytime wear and it does the job perfectly.I think it would look really good on its own for a more subtle lip look.Also considering it was a sample size it was pretty big,I will definitely be purchasing another one of these !

Bite Beauty High pigment Lip Pencil in 'Pomegranite'

 

I had never heard of this brand before this box,but I must say I was missing out! This pencil is great.It is so highly pigmented,it is way better than any red lipstick I have tried,it has a pointed tip for precise application it also applies so so smoothly ! I love this and the colour is perfect for This time of year !

Tarte Glamazon pure preformance 12hr Lipstick in 'Inspired'

Lets start with the packaging for this lipstick,it is so lovely!The packaging is like a wood print with a leaf print on the lid,it is really nice ! The product itself is also really lovely ! It is a red/purple colour.Really nice smooth application and its quite small and this is again good for precise application.I did but a lip shine over it because I felt it looked very matte and a little plain but other than that I really liked it !

Smashbox be Legendary Liptick in 'nylon nude'

I had never tried the smashbox lipsticks before so Was looking forward to trying it.It is lovely packaging very classy and elegant.The colour is 'Nylon nude' I personally found it to be a little darker than a nude but still very very nice,i wore it wit the Stila lipglaze and it really brightened it up a little and made it much more wearable! I am looking forward to purchasing some more smash box Lipsticks !

Obsessive Compulsive cosmetic Lip Tar in 'Pretty boy'

To be honest this was another brand I had not heard of but I am glad  found it their products  are 100% vegan and cruelty free which I think is always a nice thing to hear about cosmetics! Now when they say lip 'tar' the mean 'tar' this product lasts forever I put a swatch on my hand and it took a little while to get of haha! But I think it it perfect for those people who like to wear Bright colours because the pigmentation is excellent and it ha amazing stay power on your lips !

Buxom full on lip cream in 'kir royale'

I am in love with this product ! It is so perfect and amazing,I honestly cannot tell you just how much I love it ! for A start It smells like peppermint,which i always a good thing ! The colour is so perfect for the winter,and exactly what I was Looking for.The applicator is great.The quality is just amazing and this is My favourite lip product of the year !

Lets start by saying this smells so good that I just wanted to eat it ! Its amazing !I used it once since I got it and it is brilliant ! It smells so yummy and makes you hair shiny,soft,glossy and really healthy looking I adore it.The only thing I would say is It Says to leave in for 3-5 minutes I would recommend 5-6 minutes if you have thicker hair like myself !
