Neutrogena pink grapefrut range review !!!!!!!!!

*This post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own *

Now I love looking after my skin and trying out new products . So when I was browsing the superdrug website and spotted the  Neutrogena half price offer, i was so excited . I was so excited that I brought the whole range . Here is my review:

Visibly clear facial wash £4:89

This product has an amazing scent and leaves my face feeling soft and refreshed . I use this every morning and evening and there is no issues. Aside the from actual product the packaging is really simple and cute . I used to worry about leaks but because the pump has a lock my worry has vanished on the face of the earth . For the price I definitely think it is worth it.

Visibly clear L/E moisturizer £4:99

This moisturizer comes in a really cute box which looks really professional but the actual packaging is quite plain and boring. This product is not my favorite and really doesn't work for me. I used this on Wednesday night and when I woke up on Thursday I had a huge breakout running all the way through my T - zone . Also it it 10p more expensive which I think is rubbish.

Visibly clear daily scrub £4:95

I used this after my breakout from the moisturizer and it actually really  helped my skin get back on track . I don't use it every day but I do use it every week like an exfloiator. It is really good and worth the money.

Visibly clear cream wash £4:99

When I first used it, I thought it felt really strange on my skin but now I am used to it . After it is washed off my skin feels amazing . Its my favorite in the range. Another reason i like it is the price.

I would recommend this range to anyone.

I smell Xmas .....

I love making my own gifts to give to others at Christmas so this week I will show you an amazing DIY candle .

                                                                    You will need:

- Soy candle wax ( or any candle wax of your choice)

- Candle wick

-Mason jar

-A hot glue gun

-A piece of card stock

-A double boiler(a saucepan with a glass bowl over the lid )

-A food thermometer

-Oven gloves or mits

-Fragrance oil

-Colorants (optional)

-A container with a spout 

Before you began, make sure you have the appropriate type ans size wick for the size and kind of candle your makin.  In most craft stores where you can find these supplies, recommendations will be made on the packaging as to what type and size wick you should use depending on your project (and I promise it’s a lot simpler than it sounds!)

Step 1: Begin melting your wax. For this project I used soy wax that I melted in a make-shift double boiler made from a saucepan and a pyrex bowl sitting over it. I planned to fill one pint-sized mason jar, so I melted approximately 14 ounces of soy wax (I purchased a 1lb container of soy wax and had very little left over). I melted the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended!

Step 2: While this is melting (and while you’re keeping an eye on your wax), secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Apply a bit of hot glue to the center of your jar and hold it in place until it dries.

Step 3: Arrange your wick such that it stands upright. My wick was a bit stiff and stood upright reasonably well on its own, but I didn’t want to risk it falling over when it was sitting in a jar of hot wax. I ended up taking a piece of leftover thick card stock, cutting it into a circle, hole-punching the center, and then cutting away a section of the circle so I would have room to pour my hot wax.

I then put a dab of hot glue on the rim of my mason jar and glued the card stock down so it would not get bumped off accidentally. (Fortunately, dried hot glue applied to glass is relatively easy to peel off when you’re done!) This is just one of several ways you could balance your wick—there are no rules, as long as your wick is standing up straight!

Step 4: When your wax is melted, allow it to cool a bit before adding in your colorants (if desired) and fragrances. Wax purchased in craft stores will typically come with a guide that recommends an ideal temperature for adding fragrances and colorants to your wax depending on the type of wax you’re using. For my wax, it was recommended to add in fragrance oil when the wax had reached between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. (This is because some fragrances can lose their scent when added to high-temperature liquids.)

To speed up the cooling process, I poured my hot wax into a room-temperature pyrex measuring cup with a spout.

If you purchased a fragrance oil or colorants designed for candle making, it should come with guidelines as to how much of each to use given the volume of wax you are working with. I ended up using approximately one ounce of a Milk and Honey fragrance oil from brambleberry.com. Bramble Berry’s website also offers a guide that suggests how much of their oils to use in a given project.

 Then your done . Just tie and cute ribbon around the outside , add a label and its sooo  adorable.

Sleepover essentials

Recently(yesterday) I went to a sleepover and these are my absolute essentials .

1.Comfy PJs .The best thing about sleepovers is have fun they are but no one wants to be sitting in watching a film in tight skinny jeans and a tight top so get comfy . New look and primark do the best

2.A good film. Now this is a tricky one because everyone has different taste .But , the fault in our stars is good and so is the hunger games . Or if that does not appeal to you , xmovies8.com has everything including cinema realeases.

3.Snacks. So if you are watching a film what do you need ? Popcorn, pretzels and ice-cream ?Yes please.

4. Face masks . This is a great way to look after your skin and have fun . You can buy ones from boots or even better make your own. My favourite recipe is really easy . Just dampen your face and rub some natural honey all over and leave for five to ten minutes . This helps de-clog your pores .

5.Manicures. I love painting my nails but I'm not very good at doing it ,so having my friends do it for me is great . Or if you don't like that you could buy clear fake nails and paint them instead .

What skin type am I ?

There are 4 main skin types - oily,dry,normal and combination. But which one are u ? In this post I will try to answer that . Enjoy!

Oily
The main clue to having oily skin is shininess. One way to figure out if this applies to you , is to look in a mirror . If you do have oily skin ,  there will be a shine to your face.Another way , is to press a tissue to your face and if it is wet that means your skin is oily.

Dry
This is the complete opposite is to oily . First , feel your skin . If it feeling dehydrated its dry. Also if it feel tight without moisturizer. Another common clue is flakiness, But there are other signs , as well.

Normal

Well to be honest, I don't know that much about this one. I only know 1 thing. You have perfect skin- not to much oil ( oily skin)or not enough oils (dry). Your skin is the best type .There is one sign,no of the above signs.

Combination

Now , this is my element. I have combination - normal and oily. When you read the above the paragraphs , you might recognize different symptoms from different types.That is fine . It only means you have combination.

Hope it hepled .

Whats in my travel makeup ?

Recently I went on holiday to Cornwall and I thought I would show you what I took with me . Hope you like.

Maybelline dream pure BB cream £6:99

This is a lightweight BB cream which  : conceals imperfections, protects against the appearance of blemishes,minimizes the appearance of pores ,clarifies the skins look, conceals redness ,hydrates and complements your skin tone. I really like it and I would recommend it 100%.

Rimmel stay matte powder £3:99

This is a good powder , I will admit that . But everyone raves about how good it is and to be completely honest, it was a let down . It says it helps control shine but it does not.Having oily skin i want that , but i didn't get it . I would recommend the Miss Sporty pressed powder which is a pound cheaper. 

Tanya Burr cosmetics galaxy eye palette £6;99

This eye palette beautiful , from the packaging to the product . There are 4 lovely colors which. can be dressed up or down. I wear moonlight , a sparkly muted grey, all over the lid and snowflake, a sparkly white, in the inner corner and I really like it. By the way , I use the superdry eye blender to create this look.

No7 Intense volume mascara £9;95

This mascara makes my lashes long,defined and voluminous.It is the most expensive mascara i own but by far the best .

Tanya Burr lip gloss in the shade lunch date £5;99 

This lip gloss is the prettiest matte nude ever . I just cant fault it . Its pigmented,long lasting and moisturisng . What else do you want from a lip gloss ?

Maybelline coloursensational shine glossin the shade 360 stellar berry £6;19

For me this lip gloss is a bit daring . Its a dark matte purple . It is pigmented but a little pinky toned and drying .
