I'm Loving... #24


Inside Amy Schumer
Okay - this woman is bloody hilarious! I can't believe I had never watched this show before - it's now on Season 2 and it literally makes me lauhg out loud! Unfiltered, outrageous and ridculous comedy, it really is so up my street! I want to go out and party with this girl!

Priscilla Queen Of The Desert The Musical
I went to see this at the Mayflower this month with my parents as they had bought me a ticket for my birthday back in February! I LOVE musicals and this was amazing. For one... it had Duncan James in it - and he was in his pants about 30 seconds into it which was an added bonus! The music, the comedy, the drag - this made me smile from start to finish! I highly recommend!

MAC Give Me Sun Bronzer
I had totally forgotten about this little chestnut in my make-up collection until I dragged it out for Bestival! I got this years and years ago in New York but don't wear it that often anymore just because I'm never normally tanned enough! I had fake tanned for Besti so this was a perfect match - such a gorgeous shade.

Bleach London Pink Rose Shampoo & Conditioner
This shampoo and conditioner worked wonders in my hair this past month - even better than the dye itself! I left them both on for 5-10 minutes and it turned my hair into a fabulous shade of baby pink - winner wiiner!

My New Elsa mug
Opps, I may have gone to the Disneystore this month. This mug was half price so I couldn't not buy it, you know? Cute!

L'oreal Make-up Genius App
The clue is in the name - this is genius! Honestly just download it and give it a go, and if you fancy a laugh try it on your boyfriend/husband/dad!

Scream Queens
YES! Finally! I have been waiting for this show for so many months now and it is finally here - Yay!!!! This show is hilarious and the cast is just so on point - I love Emma Roberts and the fact Ariana has a guest role in it just makes it even better!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub
With the change in weather recently my lips have really been paying the price. Crusty, flaky, dry lips are just a no-no so I've been using this stuff a few times a week to try and keep my lips soft and smooth!

Zoeva Luxe Sheer Cheek Brush
I have used this brush everyday for over a year now - I feel like I haven't spoke about it a lot so I wanted to share my love for it in this post! I use this for my contouring, the angle makes it fab for my bronzer and then I use the other end/side for my highlight - I don't think I could live without it!

BeautyCrowd.com

Why hello there new online outlet of beauty goodies!

Yes, there is once again another place for us beauty addicts to head to on the internet to discover new and unique brands and products and it's called Beauty Crowd!
 This marketplace is a cave of wonders when it comes to interesting and 'hard to find anyway else' kind of products and after having a long look through the site myself I can see there is definitely something for everyone.

Beauty Crowd recently surprised me with a fabulous box of beauty treats for me to check out and see what their new site is all about! 
I was overwhelmed by the great choices they had sent me and wanted to share with you guys the sorts of things you can expect from them and what I got sent! I am slowly trying them all one by one so no doubt you will be seeing them in future posts and reviews!
Lay/N/Go Cosmo- £20
A product from a Mum who needed an easier way to clear up clutter in one easy move has proven to be the ultimate beauty accessory!
 This cosmetic version of the lay/n/go is the easiest and tidiest way to keep your make-up and products on a daily basis! A quilted and washable drawstring clutch which opens up into an easy mat to keep your products all in one place  while you use them before simply pulling the drawstring and returning the bag to normal with all your bits and bobs inside! 
For me this is perfect for travelling or if I'm going somewhere in a rush. It's so easy just to chuck a hand full of items onto the sheet and be on your way - I can't wait to take this away with me!

I love a tanning mousse and am always trying more ... even though I do have my favs! This one is said to be fragrance free so I'm really looking forward to giving it a go and hopefully not smelling of "biscuits".

This time of year my skin goes to a bit of a combination and my T-zone gets a nasty unattractive shine about it and even though I'm not a 'teen' anymore (sad times) this product is still right up my street! IT has a lovely floral and fresh scent about it and this week I have started to use this balm as a primer under my make-up - so far, so good!

As I've got older the thought of oils has become more and more intriguing to me and this year I have tried out a few. This body oil contains essential rose oil which is great to reduce redness and inflammation of the skin. For me, I have found using a small bit of this in the evening on my skin has been very soothing and calming especially when I'm feeling super tired. The rollerball is so handy and I can take it everywhere! The full size of this product is 100ml and is priced at £32.

This product I am still yet to try as I am currently just finishing off another daily wash! I am really looking forward to giving it a go though, for the price being for just a 100ml bottle I'm hoping it works wonders!

So there's a little look at a few things you will find on the BeautyCrowd site! I have been having a good look through of the different sections of the site and there has been so much that has caught my eye! Plus they have some great video features on there too - always great for a bit more information on everything!

POTW #15 : Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder

Product of the week time once again! I find it crazy how fast every Friday seems to come round! Weeks are just flying by this year - how is it nearly June?! It will be Christmas and winter coat time again before we know it!
Sorry... I'll get back to the subject of this post and that subject being .... my Product Of The Week (duh!) which is the fabulous Rose Silk Finishing Powder from Jurlique!
Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder*
This one of a few products from this brand which have recently made their way into my life and onto my face! So bare that in mind as I'm sure you'll be seeing alot more from them on A Yellow Brick Blog in the next few weeks or so! (To get a quick load down on this brand - click here!)

This is a gorgeous loose finishing powder from Jurlique's fabulous Rose collection. I've never been one to pick out Rose as a scent for products - if it has been an option for me before it hasn't been something that I've been drawn too.
Well... I was missing out wasn't I!
First up I'll talk about the scent. Guess what - it smells like roses
Yes, it is very floral so if you aren't a fan of potent scents like that then this stuff (and particular range) definitely isn't for you.
 My opinion however is....... I love it! I find the scent so calming and it makes me feel refreshed and ready for the day when I pop it on.
I've been using this stuff every day as a last step to my make-up routine.
 I don't own to many loose powders as I find them quite messy and I find a pressed powder alot easier to work with but the packaging of this powder is great and I haven't made alot of mess at all - phew!
 For me though, I don't find a puff great for application so I give the pot a little shake to disperse some of the product out and use my big powder brush from real techniques too sweep it all over my face.

It is a very lightweight powder and you don't need alot to cover your whole face. It helps give my face a smooth finish and a has lovely soothing feel - top marks Jurlique.
 I've also noticed how much better and brighter my complexion has been throughout the day - alot more "radiant" shall we say and some usually oily patches have become less noticeable!

Even thought this is a newbie in my make-up collection it is firmly staying in my everyday make-up routine from now on!
