My Holy Grail Skincare Product! ♥

Hey guys! ☆

Today's post is going to be very exciting, I will be sharing with you all my Holy Grail Skincare Product! This is the one skincare product that I can literally not live without, it has to everywhere and anywhere with me. So after that introduction I'm pretty sure you guys wanna know what it is, right? (If not then exit this post, but feel guilty cause your missing out!)  

*Drum Roll Pleaseeee!*

 ♡ GARNIER MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER ♡

This stuff is mind blowingly amazing! It's a makeup removing, cleansing and soothing water with a fancy name! I did some research in what micellar water meant and I think its best for you to just google it. (It's a bit too sciency for this blog) This stuff is gentle on the eyes and doesn't make them sting like lot's of makeup removers, It's refreshing when you remove the sticky foundation that has been clinging to your skin for 7 hours. It perfectly wipes of the most pigmented of lipsticks and is pretty much the nicest skincare product I have ever tried. I know, I know thats a pretty big statement, but for £4.99 whats to lose? 

This stuff is really simple to use, just grab a cotton pad and gently rest in on your eye for a minute and then sort of wipes around your eye and it's gone! But if your like me and have spent to many hours on the internet and its suddenly 12:37 and you cannot be bothered to go through you entire skincare regime, just use this. Another reason why this is my holy grail skincare product is because it doesn't break me out or cause spots. I wouldn;t say it prevents/stops them it just doesn't break me out and that is the cherry on top of this delicious micellar cake..... *this turned weird* 

So if you haven't tried this stuff and I haven't persuaded you to go check it out for yourself!

Short but Sweet #3

Ruby. - A modern diner

Oh hey! I'm in Devon at the moment and my family and I were in Exeter Town Centre today, where we proceeded to eat lunch at a diner called Ruby. It was a restaurant but had a lovely relaxed feeling about it with it's amazing decor and classic American features.

I got a Cream Soda Float and my dad got a Banba Milkshake (Banana, mango, vanilla ice-cream, malt). They. Were. Perfection.

My Gran and I ordered a Blue burger which contained lettuce, blue cheese, chesnut mushrooms and red onion chutney. My dad and my sister both went for the classic and we all shared a side of fries and mouth watering sweet potato fries. The food was all really good and wasn't cheap and fatty.

I really recommend it as it was great value for money and was really filling!! 

The address: 74 Queen Street, Exeter, Devon EX4 3RX 

Thanks for reading, and I hope I didn't make you too hungry!! Hope everyone's having a good holiday, and I shall be back soon with stories of sea kayaking, coastering and chilli farm visiting.

FOTD #1

Hi!

I'm really sorry I haven't written a blog post in ages (the past two were written by Ruby), but I have been working on a separate secret project *ooh how exciting* for our blog, and all my spare time has been spent on that. But I'm back with something new, so lets get started!!

Products used:

- Benefit POREfessional Primer (sample) (Universal)

- Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (Shade - Ivory)

- Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder (Universal)

- Bare Minerals Matte SPF Foundation (Shade - light W15)

- Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil (Shade - Brownie Points)

- Maybelline Great Lash Clear Brow and Lash Gel

- Elf Brightening Eyeliner (Shade - Black)

- Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm 

- Benefit They're Real Mascara 

- Real Techniques Buffing Brush

- Real Techniques Detailer Brush

- Eyeko Velvet Lash Curlers

I went for a quite a natural look today as I couldn't be bothered with eye-shadow and I was only going over to my friends house. 

To change it up a bit and add some oomph to my normal make up I lined the outer half of my eye with my eyeliner and used my detailer brush to smudge it out. This gave it a nice smokiness without looking too done up. The Nuxe lip balm is absolutely amazing. It is a bit pricey for a lip balm but I only use it in the morning and it lasts at least 3-4 hours on my lips so it's worth it!! It's also perfect for going underneath lipstick as it acts as a sort primer allowing a smoother application and longer staying power. If I wanted to smarten up this look a bit I would add my MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Creme Cup, which Ruby very kindly bought for me for my last birthday. It's a gorgeous pinky nude that's perfect all year round.

Such a poser!!

Thanks for reading and we'll see you soon!! I'm going to Cornwall on Thursday so expect a rather long blog post on that!!

I hope you found this of some use, and if not.. oh dear.

Soap & Glory : Smoothie Star Collection

This post is all about Soap & Glorys Smoothie Star Collection! it's going to be a review and just a general talk about this range, because I love it! Within the Soap & Glory range, there are lots of scent and the scents then usually have a body wash, body butter and scrub. This ranges price varies from £8.00 to £10.50. Much like the others this range consists of a body butter, a exfoliating scrub and a light body milk/lotion.

I love this range, because of the scent. The scent of this range is almond, cocoa, yogurt, oats and honey! Its a sweet yet sort of nutty scent. I personally think it smells like canadian maple syrup and pecans or maple and pecan cake!I adore this scent, because it reminds me of maple and pecan cake, which reminds me of my grandma, because me and my mum made her maple and pecan cake for her birthday! Its a sweet yet sort of nutty scent.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body lotion - £10.00

This prduct confused me quite a bit! Now don't laugh, but I originally thought this was a body wash, because it is in the usual bottle like other body washes from soap and glory. The funny thing is that it makes a pretty good body wash and lotion. It lathers up and because of the milky texture it's so moisturising when wet and dry. I have only used this product as a body lotion a dozen times. But I would say that this is a average body lotion. It does the job and smells amazing!

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub - £8.00

 I love this product, it is pretty much the perfect scrub! I use this scrub on my legs and it just polishes them off and preps them for body butter. It is also perfect for preping your legs for shaving, because it gets rid of dead skin and smoothes your skin out. It is a fairly gentle exfoliant, but it is heavily scented, so not perfect for really sensitive skin.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Buttercream - £10.50

This is definatley not the worse body butter i have used but it is not the best either. I would say that this is a slighty more thick version of the other body lotion. It has a mousse texture, which doesn't make it that much if a rich body lotion, more of a creamy one which makes it nice for summer. But this product was a bit of a disappointment for me!

Hope you found this post helpful and interesting, if not well...... you should have!

Whilst in Brighton, I popped into the Lush. I was planning on only picking the Tisty Tosty bath ballistic. But a the this happened…… *evil laugh*

Twilight Bath Ballistic

Blackberry Bomb Bath Ballistic 

Tisty Tosty Bath Ballistic

Think Pink Bath Ballistic

Granny Takes a Dip Bath Ballistic

No lets be serious, who doesn't love lush? I'm addicted and can't have a bath without one! My motto is "why have a bath,when you can have a lush bath?" (Not Really) But i am most excited about the Think  Pink bomb, because it smells of snow fairy which reminds me of christmas and I LOVE christmas. I am also super excited about the new Granny Takes A Dip bath bomb, it looks and smells awesome!

Fathers Day.

Fathers day.

As you probably know, last Sunday was father's day. My sister, dad and I had a really nice day and I thought I would share what we did. I suppose this is kind of a cafe review as well, but it was such a nice day I just had to write about it!!

 The first thing we did was go out for breakfast, with my friend Forest (see previous blog post) and her family. The cafe was called Pretty's, and I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the outside but they were re-doing their front so it didn't look great.
The inside was really nice and cosy with adorable quotes all over the walls. Here are a few pictures:

I had an Egg Royal which was sooooo good!! My sister had Eggs and Soldiers, Forest's little sister had a Croissant with Jam, Forest had Scambled Eggs on Toast, my Dad had Bacon and Spinach Benedict, and Forest's mum had a Full English. It was all really good and we will definatley be going back!!

We then walked around East Dulwich and popped into a few shops. I wasn't allowed to take pictures in most of the them but I got a few shots in this super cute vintage shop.

And of course, a day out with my Dad wouldn't be complete with out a stop at Starbucks. I was soooooo happy to see that they had brought back the Mocha Cookie Crumble, and brought out a Coconut Mocha frappucino!! I had to get it, and I can tell you, it is like drinking a liitle bit of heaven!

We then went to my Dad's friend house, but guess what, I left the camera at home!! *congratulates herself for being so generally amazing*.

But there you go, my Father's Day. Hope you liked those pictures and that you had a lovely day as well. 

Enjoy!
