I love a good scrublet in the morning!


I have had mixed feelings about Soap & Glory products for a while, some I have absolutely loved & some . . . not so much! However this weekend I bought something which falls into the love category! Not technically a product, more of an accessory, the Face Massage Mini Mitt is fantastic! The S&G website describes it as an "energy boosting skin massage mitt", I believe it is referred to as a 'scrublet' but if you haven't came across these before it is basically a small rubber thing with little bumps on which you can use along with your facial wash or cleanser. Simply put a little bit of your desired product onto the scrublet & rub it in circular motions around your face to gently exfoliate while you cleanse.

But what is so great about this you may ask? Well for one it feels amazing, I could do it for hours! Secondly I have really seen a difference in my skin even though I have only been using it for a couple of days. It only costs £4 for Boots & I would recommend it for anyone wanting to give their skin a lift!

My new love!


I've fallen in love . . . with a foundation! I previously blogged about the Revlon Colour Stay when I first tried it & although I enjoy using it for nights out I find it a little to thick for day to day wear. It can also be hard to blend, and as I use it in a slightly darker shade than my natural colour (to match my fake tan!) when I go out it can look slightly patchy.

My go-to foundation has been Bobbi Brown moisture rich for years however recently when I came to purchase a new bottle I found that in my current financial situation there was no way I could justify spending £26 on a make up product so went in search of something cheaper.

I had heard good things about Revlon Photo Ready but was slightly hesitant after having mixed opinions about the Colour Stay however I found the perfect shade for my complexion (002 Vanilla) & so decided to give it a go.

I def made the right decision!! Blends very easily & lasts all day. It has just the right about of coverage for me & never looks cakey on me. I think it is a much better match for my dry skin than the Colour Stay & will definitely be buying a darker shade for my nights on the town!!
