St Ives Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub

Last month i made a discovery, i know i'm probably late to the party but i am now officially obsessed with the scrubs from St Ives. I had heard so much about them through blogs and social media etc, so when i ran out of my regular face scrub last month i decided to pick one up.

I went for the blemish fighting scrub as i do tend to break out between my eyebrows and slightly onto my forehead so i love anything that helps to prevent that from happening, i also love a grainy scrub so this one seemed to fit the bill.

The first thing i noticed was the smell, it smells like apricots funnily enough but not in a synthetic way which really puts me off some skincare, especially being on my face. The grains are enough to feel like you have really scrubbed off any dead skin but not rough enough to hurt or make me look like i have been sunburned (you may laugh but this has definitely happened). 

Exfoliating my skin is probably one of my favourite parts of my skincare regime and this scrub has become a firm favourite, not only does it do absolutely everything you require from a face scrub but the price point makes it an absolute steal. at £4.19 who could say no?

Smashbox Longwear Blush

I had heard a lot about these blushers and it doesn't take mush to persuade me to purchase something, so off i went (to my laptop) to get my hands on one of these. It's always harder online as you can't see the colours as well but i decided on the "Peachy Dream" shade as i am always partial to a peach toned blush.

My first impressions were good, i like the "Grinder" it has on the top so you can use a small amount of blusher at a time, although be careful as i found if you grind too much out, it does make a bit of a mess (as do all loose powders). The colour applies really smooth and evenly, its nice because it quite a sheer wash of colour to the cheek instead of resembling a clown :-)

The colour is really pretty for the summer, probably a tad more pink than peach i would say but i do really liek it and have used it solidly for the past 2 weeks, i also feel liek you get loads of product for your money.

This product retails at £23 and you can get your hands on it HERE

Bourjois Paris So Laque Glossy Amande Defile

Ever since i was young i have had this obsession with the colour mint green, so much so that i wanted to combine my love of this colour with my favourite animal and have a mint green horse (i was so sure one could be found somewhere). So i have been on the search for my perfect mint green nail varnish for a while now and thought i had found it in Essie's mint candy apple, however i found it had a bit too much blue in it to be the perfect one for me (although of course it is still an amazing colour).

I was having a mooch round Boots the other day and cam across this little Bourjois beauty and had to get it straight away, it is the perfect shade of mint green and i love a nail polish with a glossy finish, which is exactly the look this gives to the nails (i have even had people ask me if i had gel nails on). I have had this on for a good week now and it still looks fab!

This retails at £5.99 which is such an amazing price for such an amazing polish, check it out HERE and let me know what you think :-)
