Denman Tangle Tamer Hair Brush!

Hi Everyone!

I'm going to review a new hair brush from Denman, and its the tangle tamer. I was very excited to try this brush because I do have very curly and knotty hair, i tend to find it hard to brush. This one is designed to detangle children's hair fast and gently without tears.


It might be designed for a child but it can certainly be used on anyones hair if its tangly. The dolphins might not be everyone taste but I think its cute, They also have it in plain hot pink! Anyway the only other tangle brush I haven't tried is the Tangle Teezer which i want to try next, I have tried the Michel  Mercier one which I wasn't to impressed with.


So this has super soft nylon bristled which gently glide through hair removing tangles. It is also air-cushioned pad which follows the contour of the head from smooth, damage free grooming. I absolutely love this brush, the bristles are super soft which detangles your hair so nice without tugging.

It really does glide through your hair very smoothly. I am very impressed with this brush it really did the job and I think this is worth trying if you have knotty or curly hair. Plus the brush is perfect handbag size, its very light weight and comfortable to use!

 One thing I would say is you have to brush your hair very thoroughly because they bristled are so soft it might not get all the layer underneath, but I always brush several times anyway.

Frontcover To Go Macaroons Box Set!

Hi everyone,


So this is the second time I'm writing this post as it all deleted on me last time when I was just about the upload it! Anyway today I'm going to review the 'Frontcover To Go Macaroon' box set. This is the perfect box set to make loads of different eye looks in!


Whats included in the box set:

8 Domed Baked Eyeshadows
1 Double Ended Eyeshadow Brush
1 Shadow Base
1 Shadow Line
1 Quad Eyeshadow Palette 


Eyeshadows Included:
Ginger
Praline
Caramel
Buttermilk
Apricot
Lavender
Mocha
Cinnamon




 This box set fits everything in nice and handy so its perfect if you want to take it on holiday with you. You can create so many looks with it, and you have all the essentials you need!


 Even better, it comes with a handy palette which you can fit 4 eyeshadows in. The thing I love is the single shadows are magnetic so they pop out so you can put in any shades you like!


The packaging of everything is so sleek and sturdy, its really nice! Plus you have 8 shadows to chose from, you can just pop the ones you have used that day into the palette and throw it in your bag to re apply during the day, or you can put in any that will suit the occasion you are going to.


This is the first time I have tried any shadows from Frontcover, and I must say I am very impressed. They give of a nice amount of pigmentation and have some gorgeous colours. There are matte shades, or some with shimmer, these ones give of a gorgeous pearl luminous finish.

L TO R (Ginger, Praline, Caramel, Buttermilk)

L TO R (Apricot, Lavender, Mocha, Cinnamon)


This is the shadow base, its a pretty nude/cream shimmery colour. This helps make your eyeshadows look more vibrant. Its a more creamy consistency than I would expect from a base.


These are the swatches from the shadow line. Basically what that does is, it turns any eyeshadow into a liquid liner. All you have to do is get the applicator tip and swipe it on the shade you like and simple, you have a liquid liner. You would think this would wreck your eyeshadow but it doesn't!

So that's it for this review, I hope you liked it, leave you thoughts in the comment and Ill talk to you in my next post, bye!

Rings & Tings Jewellery Pieces!

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm going to review a few jewelry pieces from Rings & Ting's. They kindly sent me a cat ear ring, love necklace and stud/spike bracelet.


Cat/Fox Ear Ring-£3.50

(This photo is of my friend wearing the ring)

This was one of my favorite pieces, these kind of rings are really in the trend right now with rabbit eared ones to! Its super cute and is in a vintage gold color, you can also get it in silver. This simply goes with everything and is really affordable. Alot of people have asked were it from and this one is really great quality.

Love Necklace-£3.50


I love this love necklace because it adds something nice to a simple outfit. Its a really nice dainty necklace and is a really nice length at 47cm. Its in cute vintage writing and has a pearl for the o and has a dangling diamante. Even thought this is in gold, it looks more of a rose gold, they alot have it in silver.

Pyramid Studs And Spike Woven Bracelet-£4.00


This small bracelet is really in the trends right now. It has a bunch of pyramid studs on with a single hanging spike coming from it. Its really edgy but cute at the same time. This is perfect for layering with other wrap bracelets or wearing simply alone.

That's my review for today, thanks for reading, i love these pieces and i would love to hear your opinion on them, thanks! :)

The Ultimate Fix by Beauty Narcotix!

Hi everyone, 

Today I'm going to review The Ultimate Fix by Beauty Narcotix. I never heard of Beauty Narcotix before because the ultimate fix is there very first product. They have 25years of experience in the beauty industry and first started developing the ultimate fix in 2008, they have been perfecting it for nearly 3 years!


The Ultimate fix is a spray in a can which claims to give you beautiful, long lasting, high shine results, that give you appearance of gel nails. There is an almost men's deodorant scent to it which is quite nice. It is recommended to spray a layer over each layer of polish you use, which includes base coat, nail colour, and top coat.
1st coat.
First I started with a base coat but did not spray a layer over that because it dries fairly quick anyway. Then I did my first layer of nail polish which was Sally Hansen complete salon manicure in Bewitched. It's one of my favourite colours for winter. As soon as I applied that I spray the ultimate fix straight over about 20cm away. I recommend not spraying it to close because I don't find the effects are as good.


You don't have to worry about it going on your skin it disappears. Once i have done the next hand its the first one is probably dry.. Then I do my second coat of nail polish and do the exact same which took a tad longer to dry, but over all it took around 2-3 minutes per layer depending on the thickness of the polish and how many layers you use. Last but not least I did a top coat which is a fast drying anyway, but I noticed once I sprayed it over top that it gave it a sparkling gleam. 


Overall I had a great experience trying this product out and even thought its a bit pricey it is totally worth it, I feel like this 200ml can would last a long while, compared to a top coat which I use up often. It took much quicker to do my nails and I didn't have to stand around a long time waiting for them to dry, also I had alot of compliments the next few days asking if I had them don't at the salon or if they were gel nails, saying how shiny they were. They definitely last longer than my regular manicure would have.


Thanks much for reading hope you have a great day, please follow it means alot, bye!:)

Betrousse Christmas beauty box review!

Hey everyone!

Even though Christmas has passed, I'm going to show you what's inside the Betrousse Christmas beauty box. I think there shipping came late because I only recently received it! Anyway I'm going to get straight into what is inside:

Charme d orient relaxing body massage cream 100ml-£16.


I think there was another option to get there bath&massage oil but i got the cream which I prefer. This cream should definitely be used for either massages, or a hydrating night body cream. Even though the texture is cream, when you are rubbing it in, it almost turns to a oily feel. That's why i recommend using this at night and not for everyday wear. This has black seed oil&Cinnamon essential oil, also contains capsicum which has a warming effect on the skin to relax muscles.

Saffron London crackling nail polish 14ml-0.75p


There was one of these in the pretty beauty box as well. I was not expecting it to be great because the price is so affordable, but it probably one of the best crackling top coats I've used. It does not dry up really quick like I find the Barry m one does! 

Skinetica anti blemish 100ml-£9.99


I received a little sample of this in glossybox. I used it once and never touched it again, I presume its supposed to be used like a toner would. I like the fact that its Non greasy, no harsh chemicals and non toxic. This claims to clear acne, spots and blemishes with results in 2-3 days. Not sure what to do with this just yet.

Betrousse temporary art tattoos 2 sets-£5.00


I think these are a cute little idea to put in the box. I love the baby stars and lips, they will look cute on the wrist.

Forte pharma turboslim chronoactiv slimming supplements 28 tablets-£29.99


I was abit surprised when I seen these in there, its not something I've ever tried before so I am a bit undecided weather to use these or not. They contain a day tablet which burns calories. A night tablet which limits fat storage ad refines figure. I did notice in the ingredients they contain quite a few E numbers, green tea, zinc, chromium, oxylia total, sea collagen and sea elastin.

Soins experts hydro expert cream 50ml-£34.00


This cream claims fights against skins dehydration. High regenerating and anti oxidant action, Soothing and protective properties. With omega 3&9. I cant wait to use this because it sounds, looks and smells amazing!

Mantagne Jeunesse dead sea mud spa clay mask sachet-£1.99

I grew up using these masks, I always used to use them with friends and would buy the chocolate ones. I cant wait to try this new one because I have not used one it ages! They are such an affordable price, contain real mud, dead sea and sea kelp.



Even though Christmas is gone you can still buy this online and its worth £97


Thanks much, I hope you liked the review, please follow it would mean so much, bye!

Yes! Nurse protect your lovely hands, cream!

Hi everyone!

I have had a lot of free time recently so i have been writing alot more reviews for you, so for the next week or so, i wont be following my schedule, i will have alot of random post now and again.


Today i am reviewing the Yes nurse, protect your lovely hands, hand cream!


I am  BIG lover of hand cream and just because this is made for nurses, does not mean anyone who is not, cant use it! The cold weather is her upon us and my hands and knuckles are getting very dry.


First of, i love the smell of it, its very pleasant sweet scent which i feel most people will enjoy. I really like the slim, sleek packaging, its easy to carry around if you are a nurse or, just to through in your bag day to day, if not.


As soon as you apply it, you can feel the difference in your hands and how soft and hydrated they feel. It does take a minute or so you sink in fully thought, but i don't find that a problem. Its not greasy and has alot of amazing ingredients in like omega 3,6 & 9. Also vitamin E + B5

You can get this for £5.49 which i think is very reasonable, or get it monthly for £4.99

Yes! Nurse protect your lovely hands*

PR SAMPLE*         Get this from Yes! Nurse -  here.    £5.49 - 50ml

I really like this and recommend it, thanks for reading, my next post will be up on Saturday, bye!

Elemis fresh skin moisturiser+face wash!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to review some Elemis products from there new fresh skin range which is specially targeted for younger skin, so that's perfect for me! The products I'm going to review is the ' softly softly daily moisturiser' and 'peach perfect gentle face wash'.


I have been using these for quite abit now and i am so impressed with them , especially being my first Elemis products I've tried, they are definitely a repurchase.



First of, i start with the face wash, i use in the shower on a morning and it removes any dirt and oil that is laying on your skin and leaves you with a clean smooth finish. It is a very thick gel which is lovely, and it lathers up really nice.This product has Chicory extract, elderflower and lemon. Now this is such a shame this morning i dropped it in the shower and it exploded and i was too late to save it so i only have half a bottle now. It cost £12 from here.   


Next products is the daily moisturiser. I am so in love with this as well. I have quite an oily t-zone but the rest of my face can get quite dry and i love that this cream is really thin and it absorbs into the skin really nicely, not leaving a greasy feeling at all. This also has Chamomile, sweet almond oil, geranium, rose ship seed oil, lavender and seaweed extract which all have soothing and softening properties and leaves the skin revitalised and radiant. This being a little more expensive at £20 from here 50ml



I have found these products worked together really made a difference with my skin, i have not broke out as much and i do have a bit of scaring from blemishes and it has really helped that. Another great thing about the products is they are all free from, parabens, SLS, SLES, DEA, mineral oils, artificial colours and silicone's! Which again is great for young skin and sensitive skin like me! Also they do not test on animals for all the animal lover like me out there!

I really recommend these products, i am so happy to have tried them out they are a total repurchase when they run out for me! Thanks for reading i hope you liked the review, bye!:)

Freshskin By Elemis Peachy Perfect Gentle Face Wash*         £12, 100ml

Maybelline lasting drama gel eyeliner!

Hi everyone!

I mentioned in a haul recently i picked up the maybelline gel liner, and i would do a review on it because everyone seems to love this product! This was the first time i had used a gel liner and before this i was thinking of getting the Bobbi brown one but I'm so glad i dint because i am in love with this one!

Before i just used to use an eye kohl because i find liquid liner to tricky and takes up to much time in the morning for me, so i sort of thought that gel liner would be the same, which it was at first but now after a few tries its as easy as any normal eye liner!

 I love the formulae of this so much, as it states it is a gel, but it is also very very creamy so it glides on easy. I have it it black and they also claim that it last up to 24hr which i don't know because i take my makeup of before then but it definitely last all day on my lash liner which is were i use it, but I'm not sure on the water line.

It is super super pigmented which means you don't have to go over it several times and can achieve all different looks and styles with this eye liner  It also came with a little brush to apply the liner with which i would recommend if you don't have one or if your new to gel liner. But as i got used to it i found a brush that i think goes well which is just a small angled brush!

I feel like this will last me a while for how little i use. I just like putting a little thin line on my top lash line, it gives the appearance of fuller lashes, and makes your eyes stand out abit more!

I got this from superdrug for £7.99, and it is currently on 3 for 2, here.

Thanks for reading, i hope you liked this review, please follow for more every Wednesday+Saturday, bye!:)
