As a lover of different moisturisers and body creams/butters, I decided that this product was definitely worth a try after the high rating and good reviews it has had on the internet, and I am happy to say it does not disappoint! I understand that it is hard to find nowadays, but my mum actually had a tub that she hadn't opened yet, giving me the perfect chance to try it despite this. 

The product contains extracts of orange blossom and pomegranate, shea butter and sweet almond oil. The shea butter and sweet almond oil really work as a moisturiser and makes the skin very soft when the bodycream is applied, and also I have a huge amount of love for almond products anyway so this was a huge plus.

The texture is quite thick and yet it is still very light, and when you put it on your body it really does melt into the skin as the packaging claims. I like the consistency as it is not as thick as a body butter which means it is easier to work with, and yet it is not thin and a liquid like moisturisers which I sometimes find difficult to use as some are very runny. I also don't have to wait around for it to sink into the skin which you have to do for some moisturisers or body butters, and as I am an extremely impatient person this is a huge bonus for me. It doesn't leave a greasy or oily residue when it's sunk in, and at no point from getting the cream out of the tub to when the cream has sunk in is it sticky or just uncomfortable to have on your skin. 

The scent is a very long lasting smell which may not be something everyone wants, but as someone who rarely wears perfume I don't find this a problem. It is quite a heavy scent and if you are looking for something light and fresh, this probably isn't the product you want, but I love it. It has citrus-y notes with a slight hint of vanilla and an overall floral scent. It is definitely a more subtle scent than a lot of body creams, but you can still smell it without it being overpowering. I find after using it, throughout the day my skin stays moisturised and glow-y, and the scent stays put for the most part, unless I'm sweating like a pig! It has benefited my skin a lot since I started using it. It is great for dry skin and really moisturises it, meaning that you can get the summer legs you've been wanting. 

All in all, a really great product and I'm so happy I managed to find it! If someone finds it online or in a store, please let me know so I can maybe repurchase when this runs out.  If you want me to do more reviews, or have any tips, please let me know as this is my first time so I really don't know if this is any good. 

June went far too fast, and we are now halfway through the year! Genuinely quite scared by that fact. I hope you had as good a June as I did, and here are my favourites;

Soap and Glory bodywashes; £6.50 each at Boots

I love these more than life itself. The two on the picture are the Sugar Crush with a sweet lime scent and the Rich and Foamous with an almond, oats and brown sugar scent. These are my go to body washes at the moment and have been for quite a while and that is simply because they smell so good. I use the lime scent for the morning as it really helps wake me up as it is quite a refreshing and citrus-y smell whereas the almonds, oats and brown sugar scent is definitely much more of a bed time scent as it is a relaxing smell and puts you in a "bed time" mood. The Sugar Crush also contains "CoolCapsuleX" which helps cool and refresh the body, making it perfect for summer as it is slowly getting much hotter in the UK, whereas the Rich and Foamous contains moisturising ingredients meaning that it is ideal for hot months where your skin is prone to getting dry. I also love Soap and Glory generally as they do not test on animals. 

Sleek Contour Pallets; £6.49 from Boots

This product does wonders with my face and I love it a lot. It is highly pigmented and so you do not need to use a lot which is great as this means it will last for longer. I love the matte pressed powder as it really does work wonders on the contours and really slims down my face. I am usually not a big fan of shimmer and try to avoid it where I can, but it works in the highlighter, especially in summer as it gives you much more of a glow and a summery look. I love the packaging as it looks sleek (no pun intended) and quite high end in my opinion without costing much at all, and also has a decent sized mirror without being huge, meaning I can put it in my bag if I need to top up at all and it will not take up much room .

Slanted Kabuki Brush; £16 from The Body Shop 

When paired with the Sleek contour powder I genuinely could not think of anything better for my face. This brush is ridiculously soft and when using it to put any sort of powder on my face it feels like my face is being stroked. Its shape means that contouring my face is easy as it follows the shape of my cheeks without any hassle at all, making blending very easy and quick. The handle is also easy to hold and makes controlling the brush easy. As the brush itself is quite fat, it means it covers more area on the face, making the process much quicker which is something I like a lot. My only drawback on this brush was the price as I found it quite expensive, and I managed to buy an entire Real Techniques kit for £1 cheaper, but I am happy I spent the money on it as I do feel it is worth it completely.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer; £4.19 from Boots

I feel like I'm late to the bandwagon on this one, but in all honesty I have been using it for a while. However, I didn't realise how much I loved it until I ran out of it in the airport on the way to Ireland and had to buy the Rimmel Hide the Blemish concealer and hated it, so when I re-purchased this when I got home it was like it had suddenly gotten 100000 times better. I love this a lot, mainly as it is one of the only skin products I've found so far to match my skin tone completely and not given me a hint of orange. Its coverage is brilliant and works on spots/redness and under the eyes, making my skin look much clearer and makes me look more awake. It claims it's waterproof which I'm not 100% on but it is very long lasting and usually lasts all day unlike my foundation. It is easy to blend and can be worn with or without foundation, meaning that on days where I want a really natural look or I just want to let my skin breathe, I can just put a bit of this on and some powder and I'm good to go. It is a very good quality product for the price which I like a lot as it gives great coverage and I don't have to fork out if I re-purchase. My only issue is the packaging does chip away very quickly as shown in the picture, meaning it has a tendency to look messy which I don't like.

Nandos Lemon and Herb Chicken Wrap

Until my trip to London I was a Nandos virgin, and now I've been twice! I have found a new favourite take out food I think, and it is definitely somewhere I'm going to be hitting up a lot more. I can also tick it off my 101 things!

The Fault In Our Stars movie

I'm not going to say anything about the plot as I know most people know it and if you don't I don't want to spoil it. I read the book probably over a year ago now and loved it, and so when a film was announced I was a stereotypical book person and went around saying "it's never going to be as good" "the casting's rubbish" etcetc. I am proud to say that I was proved wrong. I came away from this film an emotional wreck. It was true to the book, the casting was perfect and I found a love for the soundtrack and cinematography. It has rekindled my love and passion for films and made me want to go out with a camera and make something as beautiful. My boyfriend was just a big a wreck as I was, something that rarely happens, and I just have a special place in my heart for this now. Definitely a DVD I'll be buying when it comes out. 



Once Upon A Time

I am extremely late to the bandwagon with this one as it started in 2011 and I've only just gotten round to watching it. I am about a quarter of the way through series two and in love. I find the whole concept of "real life" fairytale characters genius and loved watching the flashbacks to storybook world and then real life back in real world. I think series 2 is going to be just as good as I think the idea is just as clever as the first series, but I won't spoil it for anyone. If you are into fantasy, slightly cheesy but clever tv shows, like Teen Wolf or Pretty Little Liars then this is definitely for you!
