RITUALS Shower Gel in T'AI CHI ( White Lotus and green tea)


After receiving the Rituals shower gel Yogi Flow, in December's Glossy Box I really hadn't used the shower gel till a couple of months ago. I just liked it so much that I had to go and get another one. They come in 7  different aromas within the range but I have decided to go for the T'ai Chi (White Lotus and Green Tea). I know (Green Tea)!!!  but it's actually very aromatic.


The great thing about these shower gels is I find that the smell lingers on your skin for a longer period of time then  I would  expect from my shower gel. One thing I find about this range of products is that it can be quite pricey, at  £6.50  a bottle, but if you do hunt online you can find it for about £5.  I think that we should treat ourselves once in while .....YES...... while these shower gels would also make perfect gifts.


What it says: 
  • Unique shower foam technology based on organic ingredients White Lotus and Green Tea
  • Due to its self-cleaning properties, the White Lotus is a symbol for purity and spiritual growth, while the powerful antioxidant Green Tea has a strong calming effect



Apply a small amount of foam to the palm of your hand. As soon as the gel comes into contact with water, it changes into a rich nourishing foam for cleaning the whole body.

MUA's Love Heart Nail Varnish


As I told you my previous post about MUA and Love Heart collaboration. They also have got Love Heart nail varnish, which comes in 6 pastel and bright colours, just perfect for your spring/summer.
These nail varnishes are all limited edition range, So hurry down to Superdrug or shop online if you like the colours and prices are very reasonable at only £2.

I got 1 in pastel and another one in a bright colour. I really liked the I <3 U shade as it is pink nude  colour and you know that you can get away with it by wearing at work or at school and will go with most things you can wear. The main down side to these nail varnishes is I had to apply 3 coats as on the second coat it was still looking a bit streaky. I also did not like the nail brush as it seem to have just one of the brush hair sticking out, which is very annoying. But I guess you can't really complain much when I have seen others with much more damaged to them so I must be one of the lucky few..

LOVE U 24/7 is a very bright lilac colour and definitely eye catching, had to apply only 2 coats which were not very streaky. The nail brush was just fine. I think I might go back and purchase U & I as it looks lovely on. The colourlemon yellow is just so screaming summer time to me.

MUA's Love Hearts Lip Balms

 There are few things that I will never get tired of buying and always look forward to buying more is lip blams, lip tints and lipsticks hehehe..What better more then the MUA's Love Heart Lip Balm collections to add to my little collection. 
(Sorry Sweet Kiss were all sold out)
These Love Heart lip balm comes in 5 colours and they all are lovely colours. They are very moisturising and give you a nice hint of colour and the packaging is just so eye catching and just too cute ^_^!

The price is just £2 and can be found in most Superdrug store and online.
I bought Hot Lips and Great Lips and I have been using Hot Lips regularly and I love it. Love the Great Lips colour in Nude.


These lip balms reminds me of MAC lip tinted conditioner SPF15 which retails for £11, So this this a really good dupe and make sure that you check it out. Of course, MUA lip balms do not contain SPF like MAC.

My Daily Face Wash Products

                                       Basically there are 2 products that I use.


 Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and Clearasil Ultra All in One wash and Mask


My normal face routine in the morning was just wash my face with cold water, dry and moisturise and put my make up on. In the evening I'd take make-up off with my face wipe and cleanse and tone but never really washed my face in the evening before bed. I realised that I seriously needed to change my routine when I started to break out a lot.
My skin is oily/combination and just few months ago I was suffering from really bad acne problem and it was getting quite bad that it was starting to leave marks on my face :( so I had to quickly change my face routine.


I bought the Clearasil Ultra All in one wash and Mask from my local drug and I know that in the past it has never let me down and always worked. It is what it says on the tube, you can use it as a face wash or as a mask you just leave it on for 1 min and wash it off, Simple! Just to let you know that it does contains Salicylic Acid. It cost just over £5 very reasonable.


I use the Clearasil in the morning and the in the evening I use the Liz Earle cleanse and polish.
This Liz Earle product is just so amazing, you just use a pump or 2 and just massage all over your dry face in a circular motion and rinse the muslin cloth in hot water and wring it out and gently polish off the cream and you finish it by splashing cool water. 
It comes with 2 muslin cloths and in a travel bag. It can be use by all skin type.


What it says: A rich concentrated cream that gently removes daily grime and make-up , even stubborn mascara , to leave skin clear, smooth and exceptionally clean. Used with the pure muslin cloth it lifts away dead skins, revealing fresh, radiant skin. Naturally active ingredients include cocoa butter to soften, smooth and moisturise. Rosemary, chamomile, hops, euclayptus tone, soothe and purify.
It is quite dear about £14 but I swear that it is one of the best product I have used and I think that it is worth the price and my skin has improved a lot and plus I have been drinking about 2 to 3 litres of water a day as well.

MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream #23 SPF42


 I have been using this BB cream and no 23, which is in natural colour for sometime now thought I'd let you know.


This BB cream is amazing and gives me a nice radiant dewy look. It gives me a full coverage for a tinted moisturiser and stays on well throughout the day. It evens out my complexions as during winter I suffer from dry skins on certain areas.




This BB cream comes in only 3 colours, no 13 which is very bright, no 21 is also bright and no 23 is in natural colour.  Its such a shame that it does not have much colour selection. When you first pump it out you will notice that it comes out very grey, but once you apply it all over, it oxidises to your skin colour.






This BB cream is an excellent concealer for people with pigmentation, discolouration on face including acne, vitiligo, age spot, sun spots and dark circles and is for all skin types. It can be used as make up base or foundation and contains substances for soothing the skin.


This BB Cream is so cheap compared to other foundations and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
