beauty box swap.

About once a week I sit down and read through endless of amounts of blogs, to get inspiration, find out about new products and read peoples reviews, during one of these sessions I came across the blog ohhsoglam by Sarah. At the time she was hosting an international beauty swap, I had a read through it and it sounded amazing, I left my details and not long after I received an e-mail pairing me up with the lovely Row from What Row Chose.

This month after hearing many good things and looking up several beauty boxes online I decided to purchase my first Glossybox. I only subscribed for one month as I was unsure whether I would like to products and at £10 (excluding p&p) it wasn't a lot to spend to test it out. I had a sneak preview of two products, neither of which I had heard of before, and then waited for the arrival of my Glossybox!

my inspirations.

I started out this blog a few months ago as a sort of 'trial', I have always had a huge passion for make-up and beauty and wanted to find a way to express that, besides just going on to Jake all the time. To be honest, I was very naive when I started out and thought it would be easy to sit down and find things to write posts about every week but in reality it's like working two jobs! Thinking of new interesting topics to write about and then adding pictures, editing and actually making it a good read is such a difficult job and has made me really appreciate all the other people out there who blog. There are two things that made me decide to keep doing this, my passion and enthusiasm for fashion and beauty and the wonderful blogs that I read and follow, these people have really inspired me to keep going and it's from their posts that I take ideas for mine, so I wanted to take the time to share their fabulous blogs with you!

my daily essentials.

There's nothing I love more than having an unrestricted amount of time to get ready in the morning, being able to sit down, plan my 'look' for the day, get my tools ready, fix my hair, add accessories and not have the stress of a time limit, but anybody who works knows that this is a dream saved for weekends or days off. Although I don't always have as much time as I would like to get ready in the morning there are certain products that I just can not step outside of the house without using, these products are my absolute essentials and my favourite makeup and beauty products!

tangle troubles.

I don't really like writing 'bad reviews' as I feel everyone has their own opinions and experiences of different products but unfortunately I feel like I have to write one regarding this product. Anyone who knows me, or has stalked my instagram or twitter will know that I have crazy frizzy/curly hair and it is just completely out of control unless I straighten it, so when I heard about the 'tangle teezer' I thought it would be a god send if it worked.

my goodies.

While I have been saving money and trying to not spend so much I have started to make a list at the beginning of each month of things that I need to buy, this way I knew exactly what I wanted to get so I wasn't browsing around shops and spending a fortune. It seems though, that each time I have been out shopping the products I wanted to buy haven't been there, so instead i have been substituting them with products that I think are kind of similar, because of this I have found some amazing new products and brands and thought that it would be good to review some of these on here :)

As I mentioned in my previous post, another brand in my house that is good to use on sensitive skin is SBC (simply beautiful collection). I was going to include this brand in my last post but they have so many wonderful products I thought it deserved one of it's own :). The first thing I ever noticed about this brand was the gorgeous luminous colours of the products! It's like having a little rainbow in my bathroom, but the more I looked into the products the more I realised how amazing they were for different skin problems.

 Ever since I can remember I have suffered with dry, sensitive skin, it's an absolute nightmare and anyone who suffers from any type of skin condition has my fullest sympathy. When I was younger I used to just think "there's nothing I can do about it" but as I got older and got more interested in health and beauty I started looking into products that could help. Fortunately my mum suffers from dry skin too so has always given me great advice as to what products to look for and where to find them.
