Haul | Boots Beauty Products

Don't be fooled by the title this haul is not boots own products, just beauty products I've bought from boots. Ever since I got back into blogging and youtube watching I have been wanting to go on a spending spree - it's definitely the reason I am broke. I noticed that not watching videos of new products stopped me from buying so much. I was so frugal before! 

Under Inspection | Olay Daily Facial Cloths

Seems lately my writing time has been cut short. Again trying to fit everything into the short space of time I have outside of work is causing to be a problem. Never the less I am aiming for four posts a month, hopefully you'll get more but I am making no promises! Sorry guys. 

Anyway, seeing as I have such little time anything that saves me those precious few minutes is a god send. Which is exactly what these little things do. Plus with the weather hopefully turning more heated these cold cloths are exactly what you need.

Under Inspection | This Works

Until I turned 20 I never used moisturiser. My mother used to hate it and she would always tell me that she has moisturised since she was 14 and the doctors say her skin is a amazing. Well mine isn't and I haven't managed to find one that fits my skin.

Why I Don't Wear Make Up At Home

As you are all aware I am probably one of THE most lazy ‘beauty bloggers’ out there. Anything for quick easy hassle free makeup and skincare and I am your girl. This being said, I have to finally admit I commit one of the biggest crimes in beauty.  I leave my make up on while I sleep. 

I know, I know! It is a sin but honestly we all have done it at some point. Late nights where you come in at 4am, nope I’ll sleep and take the damn stuff off in the morning. Stressful days where you wanna curl up in bed and forget that today happened. It’s easy to forget to take it off which is why I have found the perfect way to stop it from happening.

I refuse to wear makeup around the house. Firstly there is no need to wear it inside the confines of your own house, no makeup no problem when it comes to bed time; if you’re feeling lazy grab a face wipe and clean off the day’s mucky air, if you’re not go down the route of a full on facial cleanser, either way you’re clean and ready for bed. 

On the days where I do wear make-up, generally, I am either going out or going to work. On work days I tend to come home and head straight for the bathroom anyway so I just add an extra step, and take off my makeup there and then to avoid any lazy mishaps. All too often I have missed this step and slept in my make-up – ew!

My belief that this should happen was re-enforced when I read London Beauty Queens post. Which tells you all the many reasons why you should remove your make up and clean your face. Yes this is the brutal truth and if you are lazy like me you’ll need this on hand to read! 

Basically I make removing my make up the first thing I do when I get home and then I can’t forget to remove it or end up sleeping with it still on my face. I then use a serum on my eyelashes because I have this horrible fear that I’ll wake up one day with no lashes! How horrible would that be?!

Do you take your makeup off every night?

Birchbox | February 2015

Birchbox is always something to look forward to every month. It's like a little gift that keeps on giving. A gift you yourself every month. 

BLOGMAS: Bedside Beauty

As most of you are probably aware I am the laziest person in the universe. I will do anything that means a quick and easy morning routine. 

I'm even attempting to add a little workout - I'll let you know how (badly) that's going soon!

Monthly Favourites | November 2014

OH MY GOD ITS NEARLY DECEMBER. Can you believe it? But here's what I've been loving in the month of November.

Under Inspection | Loreal Micellar Solution

During my early days into the blogging world I heard a lot about Micellar Waters - the most raved about being Bioderma. I would never had thought to purchase anything like this if it hadnt been for the beauty YouTubers and Bloggers out there, so I'd just like to thank them for the fact I still have eyelashes. Make Up wipes do not remove all your make up, but this can. 

Birch Box | November 2014

This week I thought I would do my Birchbox post a little differently. With NaNoWriMo on the go I am feeling very creative and I thought I would roll with it and let it take me where it may.

Today marks 11 whole months of Birchbox and Mine's relationship. While it had been rocky with its ups and down this month it had really impressed me.

Under Inspection | No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser

I had never thought about using a cleanser to remove my make-up before, but then I watched Zoella's vlog where she told Gabby how quick and easy it was. This appealed to my lazy side and so I decided to give it a go. Not wanting to spend too much money on a high end one I headed over to No7 and picked up this beauty for £9.95.

Wishlist | November

How is it November already? We are so far in that it'll be next year far too soon! Anyone else feel this year is going past too quickly? I feel like I've done nothing this year, but here we are again with another wishlist.

Highend | Not Worth The Hype

This will be my last post of my Drugstore/Highend series. To see the others click here to see the previous high end post and use the navigation on the side to see the drugstore ones. I don't really have a lot of high end products so I might revisit it if I ever buy more!

Drugstore | Not Worth The Hype

Last month I did a post on a few drugstore products that I feel are worth your pennies. This month I'm doing an opposite post. Some of these products I've spoken about before but they really aren't worth the hype that surrounds them.

Under Inspection | Thea Skincare

Not too long ago the lovely people at Thea Skincare sent me a couple of products to try out and review. Starting to feel like a real blogger now!

Favourites | September 2014

Another month over and another favourites for you guys! There hasn't been a lot of time for me to try much this month but there are a few new things in there that I don't think I have mentioned before.

Skincare | Day Time Products

I see a lot of skincare videos and posts, but because I think I sound like a man with the flu on recordings and don't have the money to purchase the good stuff - I am doing my daily skincare products in blog post format.

Under Inspection | Soap And Glory Puffy Eye Attack

It Claims: Loaded with anti-dark circle and anti-puff BOTANICAL PEPTIDES, detoxifying OXYGINSENG™ TECHNOLOGY, HYPER HYDRATORS and COOL-CUCUMBER-X™, Soap & Glory™ Puffy Eye Attack™ is a fast-acting, de-bloating, skin-firming, collagen-boosting GENIUS IN A JAR!

• Tackles dark circles and puff
• Firms, tones, rehydrates
• Boosts collagen production
• Helps kick-start stagnant undereye circulation
• Cools, soothes and moisturises
• Perfectly balanced for all skin types

Pro's: Light
          No Smell
          Easy to apply

Con's: Leaves a residue under the eyes after drying
           Doesn't tackle dark circles
          

My Thoughts: I love Soap and Glory products but this one is definitely a flop for me. I bought this because it claims to tackle dark circles will I've used this for a couple months now and my dark circles are still there. Not even faded a little! I get enough sleep, I work out and I don't stay up late regularly so surely these should have been depleted by now? 

It's such a good product and I have seen a difference in the firmness around my eyes along with the skin being a lot smoother. It's also very cooling and relaxing on the skin.

I would give this a 3/5 purely because it didn't work on my eyes. Don't let this put you off, it worked it all other areas for me! Least give it a try

Have you tried this? Let me know what you thought!

Birchbox | July 2014

First Look: 

Contents;

Lifestyle Extra: Vita Coco Coconut Water; The Celeb favourite uber-hydrating drink bursting with natural potassium to keep you energised all day.
I put this in the fridge for 24 hours before I drank this and I cannot decide if I like this or not. I am not a fan of coconut but this didn't taste like coconut just gone off lemonade... weird right?

Welda Millet Nourishing Shampoo; Keep hair in top condition this summer with the natural organic fortifying shampoo.
I seriously hope this smells better in the shower because smelling it in the tube - cheesy feet springs to mind!

LAQA & Co: Sheer Lip Lube Pencil in Menatour; A high gloss pencil to add a pop of sheer, nourishing wearable colour.
Sine when was purple a wearable colour? I'll have to find a look to try and a make up look that I can use this with!

Whish Lavender Body Butter; Not your granny's lavender - this sweet scented antioxidant rich lotion nourishes skin.
This feels like a nourishing cream but smells horrid. I have a lot of lavender things and this is not one of the good ones.

Gilchrist & Soames English Spa Sea Kelp Mineral Bath; This delightfully foamy gel contains marine nutrient sea kelp to invigorate the skin
This smells okay, looking forward to trying it in my next shower.

Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream; A Light, hardworking formula to brighten the eye area and keep wrinkles at bay.
Definitely not enough in this for a tester but I do like it!
