My Current Faves!


I've been trying out a lot of new products recently. It's hard for me to find products, especially one's that are going to go on my skin, that don't irritate my eczema so when I do find the odd few I use them over and over.


  1. Boots Simply Sensitive Deep Cleansing Face Mask - I like a pamper just as much as the next girl but I haven't ever found a face mask that doesn't make my skin feel like it's on fire. I decided to try this one out, for £1.49, what have I got to lose? This mask does have a slight burning sensation but only for the first few seconds after you have put it on, and it leaves the skin feeling very clean and super soft. It's cheap and will never be as good as the high end masks out there but for a budget buy, it works great!
  2. Collection Fast Stroke Waterproof Eyeliner - Another budget buy at £2.99. This eyeliner stays on as long as you need it without it flaking off as you can often find with cheaper brands. I really like the brush as it makes flicks easy and gives a very precise line. Only grumble about this product is that it is maybe a little too waterproof? I know that sounds silly but it really does take some scrubbing to get off!
  3. Nivea Creme Soft Shower Cream - Unfortunately I can't use any gel based washes so that's why I absolutely LOVE this shower cream. It has slight scent to it and feels really nice on the skin in the shower. It doesn't dry the skin out like you find with some shower creams as it contains almond oil. Again, another bargain at just £1.99.
  4. Paul Smith Optimistic - I love this perfume, it's definitely my spring scent. It's such a lovely smell and people have been complimenting me on it nearly every day. It's currently on offer on the Superdrug website so grab it while you can! I'm absolutely rubbish at describing smells so I took this description from the Superdrug website: 'Containing an energetic top note of sharp mandarin and spicy black pepper, this fragrance really grabs your attention. The heart is a mix of sensations with the fresh note of mint and the softness of geranium. The base is a classic Paul Smith combination of aromatic and woody ingredients, with vetiver, cedar and the sensual surprise of amber.'
  5. Primark Nails - Now these really are the buy of the month! Primark have loads of different designs for you to try; some are on trend and some, like mine, are just adorable. Considering these are only £1.00 they're not the best nails you're going to find but they are well worth the money and stay on your fingers pretty well! I suggest you pop down to your local Primark and grad yourself some! 

So there you have it :) I hope you enjoyed this post guys and I'll see you soon. Thank you for reading,

Valentines Nails

Little finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger and thumb. It's backwards I know, Im sorry!!



So whether you're going out on a hot date, relaxing with some friends or have a pamper night to yourself, you're going to need the perfect Valentines Day nail polish.

I've picked out 5 of my favourite colours that scream Valentines Day.

  1. THUMB - Nails inc. South Molton Street
  2. INDEX FINGER - Fearne Cotton (Boots no longer stock this but you can find loads of Fearne products on ebay!) 
  3. MIDDLE FINGER - Lm Nail Polish Beauty in 22. (You can still find this in some shops, you just have to really search for it!) 
  4. RING FINGER - This particular colour by Nails inc is called Chester Place and they no longer make this product however, Nails inc. Shoreditch is very similar! 
  5. LITTLE FINGER - Fearne Cotton (Check ebay) 
There you have it! I hope you all have a beautiful Valentines Day whatever you get up to :)

Much love,
