Zoella Beauty Kissy Missy Lip Balm & YouTuber Success Talk

When Zoe Sugg announced another collection being added to her 'Zoella Beauty' range I was all ears!
 I had bought a couple of bits from the first collection and really enjoyed them and hearing that this range was 'tutti frutti' made me definitely open to trying it out as it sounded right up my street (I'm all about scents, especially when they are sweet!).
After I had watch Zoe's video on her new releases I decided that the lip balm 'Kissy Missy' had my name all over it!
 I'm a big lip product person.... it's kind of embarrassing how many I own when I only have one mouth.... but this little pot looked lovely and I like having tinted lip balms in the summer - lipsticks melting is just heartbreaking.

The pot is small - obviously - a little larger than a carmex pot and is a plain, clear plastic apart from the lid which has the name and branding.
 The scent is nice, I've been trying to figure out what it smell similar too and for the life of me I can't work it out.... I'm rubbish I know!
Now the colour. I'm so impressed with the colour! I thought maybe, for the cheap price of £3, this might be really sheer and a bit like a nivea lipbalm or rose vaseline, but I was wrong. 
This is a bright bublegum fuchsia shade and is really buildable, although it doesn't take alot to give yourself fun kissy wissy lips!
I've been using this after my lush bubblegum scrub and my lips have felt so soft and smooth with a cute pop of colour!

For the price this is great, a handbag must for me this summer!

Now.....while I'm on the subject quick I just wanted to chat about Youtubers and their many deals and partnerships that seem to be happening weekly.
To be honest that I'm kind of getting fed up of people moaning about Youtubers having these opportunities - if it was you, you would leap at the chance (I know I would) - I really don't see the problem in these ranges and internet personalities making money on merch/own brands.

Don't want it - don't buy it, but whats the point of saying these people 'don't deserve it' or 'they just want the money' it is their job at the end of the day of course they are going to try and make money. 
The internet is so fickle and people, including Zoe, don't know when their time will be up - I don't blame them for taking everything they can while the chances are there.
 This blog and doing a few youtube videos here and there takes up so much of my time and I put alot of effort into it so I can imagine how much work people like Zoe have to put into everything they are achieving! My thoughts - You go girl! 
You may not agree with how I feel about it but that's life, we all have our different thoughts, it's kind of how to world works my loves!

Love you guys, thank you again for visiting A Yellow Brick Blog whether you are re-visiting or here for the first time - you rock! xoxo

Zoella Beauty : Blissful Mistful Body Mist & Let's Glow Candle

Who's Zoella? .... Um, excuse me? Have you not ventured onto the internet in the last 5 years? Zoe Sugg has got to be the most successful UK Beauty Vlogger & Blogger out there and I for one am a huge fan!
Being one of those Zoella fans meant that when her first beauty range Zoella Beauty went live I squealed a major excitement squeal ... had to check it out and order a few bits!
I mean just the pictures online had me sold with these beauties! Zoe has nailed the cute chic girly girl packaging throughout her whole range and the pricing is on point for her well-known younger teen audience too. 

The products are totally affordable and won't break your piggy bank - however old you are!
I ordered these bits from Feel Unique but you can also get them from Superdrug online and in selected stores. (Not my local one though obviously as my home town is 78 years behind the rest of the UK!)

I decided to start off by just ordering a couple of items from the range and these were the two that caught my eye the most... although I do love the look of that make-up bag with Zoe's eyes on!

Blissful Mistful is a 45ml fragranced body mist which comes in a lovely square glass bottle with the classic logo and pretty polka dots.
I bought this as something to have in my handbag to make sure I'm always smelling nice throughout the day but it seems to have turned into a little more than that!
The scent is light fairly sweet smell which actually really really reminds me of something I think it may be D&G light blue.
As well as using this on myself I have also been using it around the house - it's made everywhere smell lovely haha! The 45ml bottle is £8, I'm looking forward to seeing how long it lasts!

Next is the Let's Glow candle (I love all the name's of Zoe's products)! This candle is £5 and the cute packaging will help it fit into any chic home! When I first saw the candle I was a bit shocked at how small it was but I've burnt it a good few times now and it's still going so it wasn't a total rip off! I like the scent, it's a little synthetic but it's a nice floral homely smell especially for winter! I'm so crap at explaining scents but it is nice haha!

Have you tried anything from the Zoella Beauty range yet? What are your thoughts?
