Bondi Sands Liquid Gold

If you follow my YouTube videos you will know that i have had some real troubles with fake tan in the past. I think i have tried just about every tan out there on the market until a couple of years ago when i suddenly started having allergic reactions to what i can only guess was the DHC ingredient that is in tans. I have been using He-SHi tan which is still a favourite however i had heard from my friend Hannah that Bondi Sands was amazing and i thought i would give it a go to see if my skin would react and the result couldn't of been better.

There is quite a few different formulas that Bondi Sands has within their range but i decided to go for the liquid gold dry oil as my skin gets very dry and thought it might of been slightly more genlt on my skin.

With my first application of a tan i tend to apply slightly less until i know how dark the tan goes, it suggests to spray the oil on the skin and then rub it in with a mitt which it what i did apart from on my face where i sprayed it on the mitt first. The first thing i noticed was the beautiful smell of coconut which occurs throughout the Bondi Sands range, if you know me you know my favourite smell if coconut so it will always have my vote regarding smell. The liquid is brown which is great because you can always tell where you have been or where you need to apply more.

The next day i was absolutely in love with the look and feel of the tan, it made my skin so soft and not remotely dry and it was a beautiful golden colour, which has made me really excited to try the rest of the range, especially as i didn't have a reaction which is a massive plus for me.

Molton Brown Alba White Truffle Hand Treatment

As someone who's profession is using their hands a lot i am the worst person ever at looking after them. Time and time again i say i'm going to get better and this and i never do. So this year was going to be different (yeah right, although i have been better).

I love Molton Brown products but always seem to forget about them until i came across this little gem. It smells absolutely divine for a start and is a beautifully rich hand cream that soothes the driest of skin without being greasy or slippery. I find the smallest amount works which means this 40ml tube is going to last me an age.

If you are like me and forget to apply hand cream all the time i find the easiest way to remember is to have this one in your handbag and then another one by the sink, this has really helped me remind myself and i find the best time to apply it is straight after you have washed your hands to lock in moisture.

This one is £14 and you can grab yours HERE . Let me know if you have tried this one and what your favourite hand cream is. xx

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? Grab yours HERE and let me know what you think. xx

Topshop Khaki Bomber Jacket

I have wanted this Bomber jacket for a few months and as i received the obligatory Gift Cards for Christmas, it was definitely at the top of my "To Do" List. 

I have a similar one in black from H&M that i wear constantly so it;s no shock that this is now firmly part of my wardrobe as it goes with everything!!!!!

I love mixing this with different styles, as you can see from the photo i wear this so much with ripped jeans, it just works. I also love wearing it with an LBD and casual heeled boots or converse to make the dress a bit more casual. I also love dressing the jacket up and adding a faux fur scarf into the mix.

I'm sure you can tell from my ramblings how much i love a bomber, i think the next on my list is a black leather version. 

You can get hold of yours HERE and let me know your favourite way to style this jacket. 

Smashbox Bronze Lights Suntan Matte

When it comes to bronzer i am pretty fussy, it has to be just the right bronze shade with not a lot of shimmer if any, I do tend to stick to a good bronzer when i find one i love and trust.


I'm not sure how i discovered this Smashbox bronzer but i am so glad i did as it has become a staple product in my makeup bag, i use the shade suntan matte and it is the perfect bronze shade with buildable colour so you don't have to worry about being tangoed! I have been using it for this for about 6 months now and i don't think i have even dented the surface.

If you love your bronzer as much as me and are looking for a good one for this summer i highly recommend this gem and if you are i fan i hear that this is Kim Kardashians favourite bronzer.

This retails at £23 which is a complete bargain for the amount you get and you can check it out HERE

Dior Nail Glow

When it comes to my nails i can be pretty slack at taking care of them which is crazy because they are my money makers ;-), however i have made a conscious decision this year to look after them more and to make them look pretty.

I recently got my hands on the Dior Nail Glow which isn't a new product but it's new to me. The idea behind nail glow is to make the pinks of your nails pinker and the white tips whiter. It definitely makes my nails looks shiny, more groomed, manicured, well looked after and more pink but i'm not sure if the tips look any whiter.

I love this for day when you don't fancy wearing colour and you can always wear it as a base coat and top coat alongside your normal nail polishes. This retails for £18 and you get check it out HERE

Elemis Skin Bliss Capsules Anniversary Duo

Not that i'm complaining but once again we getting a change in the weather in the UK, at the minute it seems for the better however i'm sure you all know just how quickly it can all go wrong and start raining again. This generally means one thing for me, my skin changes once again due to the different temperatures going on, i can go slightly more dry and de-hydrated than normal so i love to give my skin a little treat to help it in it's transition.

I have used the Elemis skin bliss capsules before and they were just incredible, the normal 30 day pot you get it such a treat for your skin which makes it glowing and healthy. For their 10th Anniversary Elemis have put together this duo with 60 capsules in each pot (so double the regular amount) including 2 mini travel pots for when you are on the move.

The pink pot (the day capsules) contains the rose capsules with a blend of pure moringa oil and rose absolute to renew and revitalise the skin and the green pot (the evening capsules) contains the lavender capsules which contain a blend of moringa oil and lavender essential oil which helps to restore and repair the skin overnight.

These capsules definitely help to sort my skin when it is having a little freak out and this is such an amazing duo for yourself or would make an amazing mothers day present. With the retail price being £79.50 (worth £124) you all need to snap one of these up. You can get them HERE

Elemis Pro Collagen Treats

So my obsession with Elemis products grows, i have used both of these products before and fallen deeply in love with them, so when i disovered they came in this amazing set with a gorgeous silver and white box, we were destined to be together lol.

The set included the Pro-Collagen cleansing balm and the Pro-Collagen advanced eye treatment. The balm is just the most luxurious facial cleanser that smells like you are walking into a spa, it literally takes off every spec of makeup and dirt whilst leaving your skin so soft and smooth. I love this balm as it feels like it has just melted everything off without having to scrub your face, even stubborn waterproof makeup doesn't stand a chance against this beauty.

The eye treatment is a serum so light and refreshing on the under eye helping to de-puff, smooth and firm the soft skin around the eye. It is so light in texture it just feels so soothing, i'm not great with heavy products round my eyes as they can leave you feeling all clogged up so this is just up my street.

This is the perfect gift for upcoming mothers day, i know my mum would be thrilled and so would i, It retails at £49 which is a bargain as sold separately it  would cost £78.50, so that is a massive saving of £29.50!!!! You can get it from HERE

Included in the set is the rehydrating rose petal cleanser 200ml, the rehydrating ginseng toner 200ml and the pro radiance illuminating flash balm 15ml.

The combination of these products is amazing, a good cleanser and toner is so important in my eyes to the look and clarity of the skin and these two have definitely helped to brighten my skin. I do tend to lack hydration if i'm not careful and these products are specifically designed to keep that locked in, it is the perfect gift for someone or even a little treat for yourself if you are finding this horrible weather is taking it's toll on your face.

Decleor Aroma Cleanse Smoothing and Cleansing Mousse

If you have watched my "What i got for Christmas" video, you will know that my lovely mum brought me some Decleor products as i was desperate to try them. I would go as far as to say that this cleanser saved my skin over Christmas and New Year, i had a horrible break out on my forehead and i have no idea why or what caused it, however using this cleanser day and night it totally disappeared which i will be forever grateful for.

It comes with the muslin cloth which i love to use over just rinsing as i feel it really just removes every scrap of makeup on my face. It doesn't have any overwhelming scents, it just smells very fresh and clean, i have been using it day and night and it seems that my skin has been loving this.

I use 1 pump and then massage it with a small amount of water to create the mousse texture and then just massage it into my face, taking slightly more care on the areas i am prone to breakouts.

You can get it from Feel Unique for the price of £22.10 with free delivery which is fab, check it out HERE
