Dove Purely Pampering Pistachio Cream and Magnolia Lotion Review

Pistachio products are a bit yummy aren't they?!
There aren't actually that many (that I know of) out there on those drugstore shop floors, so when I saw that Dove were releasing a new member of the purely pampering family with pistachio cream and magnolia I knew I had to try it out.
Now I have been trying to get my hands on this for weeks and weeks after seeing a post about it somewhere and I just couldn't find it!
 So when I strolled into my local Suerdrug recently and spotted it on offer for only £1.99 (I think that's half price) I nearly had a mental excitement breakdown!
BARGAIN!
I've started to lean towards lotions over butters alot more recently! Mainly because they are alot easier to rub in therefore are alot quicker to apply (I am totes lazy!)

I have been LOVING this stuff! 
I have been popping it on every morning (and sometimes in the evening too) which is not like me at all... normally my limbs are lucky if they see lotion twice a week...I know teribble aren't I!
A majorly yummy scent which lasts and lasts! I've been popping this on first thing and I can still smell it on my skin at like 3/4pm! That is some staying power!
My skin feels lovely and soft and I haven't seen any signs of dry skin in a long while!
I've already gone and bought another bottle while it's still on offer as I think I am going to be using this alot, especially over the upcoming summer months!

POTW #13 : Collection Bronze Glow Mosiac Powder

This was a very spur of the moment product last week! I was in Superdrug just having a browse- spotted this, saw it was only £2.99 and though - I'll have that!
This is the Collection Bronze Glow Mosiac Powder in shade - 1 Sunkissed and it my product of the week!
I have been using this daily since purchasing it and it has joined the prestigious ranks of my make-up bag (not shoved in  storage like alot of other things!)

A gorgeous shimmery bronzer which is up there with my favourite shimmer bricks! I have been popping this on the apples of my cheeks and am loving the glow/tan it has been giving me!
For £2.99 you can't really go wrong - Collection have been really impressing me lately!

Maybelline Colour Show Bleached Neons Nail Polish Review : Tropink & Coral Heat

Summer is on it's way and with it pastel and bright colours everywhere!
 Whether it is clothing, hair or well... nail polish - summer is the perfect time to rock any colour you want!

I have been loving all the pastel shades and bright colours that have been coming onto the high street and social media scene this year so far and when I spotted these new nail polishes from Maybelline I knew they were a must for the next few months!

These are from the new Colour Show collection from Maybelline and are called Bleached Neons.
The shades I picked up were Tropink and Coral Heat.

Tropink is a fabulous bright baby pink shade and Coral Heat is a fun summery coral orange.
These colour aren't full-on luminous neons and they aren't subtle pastels they are some amazing place inbetween and I love them!
These are my go-to shades at the moment and I can't wait to see the rest of the collection(these were the only two in my local Boots!) 
They will look amazing in the summer with a tan and with the amazing fashion out there on the high-street at the moment it won't be hard matching clothing to them either!

From what I've seen so far this is another great collection from Maybelline and their Colour Show polishes!
These polishes are £3.99 each and if you are looking for some new summer shades I highly recommend them!

April Favourites

Favourites posts are probably some of my favourite's to write and definitely some of my favouite's to read!
 I love sharing the products/things which are top of my list for the month!
As always most of my favourites this month are beauty related (duh) but of course there are a few other things sneaked in there!
L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 401 Fuchsia Drama 
This is a product I bought over a month ago now and I am still crazy in love with it! I have been using it both alone and pairing it with lipsticks too - I love it over the top of Mac's Girl About Town. These liquid lipsticks are fab, so pigmented, as soft as a lip balm and super glossy - perfect if you aren't a lipstick fan but want a bold look! (Full review & photos here)

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - Peach On The Beach
It wasn't long ago that this was featured on A Yellow Brick Blog (post here) but it has to go in my April favs! I've been wearing this ALOT since buying it a few weeks ago! Love love love, fab colour, fab product! Possibly the best lip crayon I've used so far.

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Masque 
You may have seen this in my Boots Haul this month and I have been saving to talk about it until now! After the first us I knew this was going to be in my monthly favourites! This stuff smells lovely and left my hair feeling so soft, smooth and healthy (although I haven't noticed any major change in the thickness yet!) I have been using this once a week and cannot rave on about it enough.... and I got it when it was half price so even better!

Botanics All Bright Purifying Face Scrub
A skincare favourite now. I bought this along with the matching face wash and they have had a firm place in my shower ever since.
 The wash is something I use daily-every other day (I tend to alternate with others) in the mornings and the scrub is something I use probably once a week! It leaves my skin looking and feeling refreshed and they aren't expensive at all - I am very lucky with my skin so I don't feel like I have to splash out on anything too expensive, it is something I will definitely repurchase.  

Yankee Candle - Black Coconut
 I'm all about smells. Products - first thing I check out is the scent, perfumes - so much love for perfumes ..... smells are something I just notice alot.
 So moving into my own flat I am always obsessed that it smells nice.
 Queue an aray of yummy candles. I love candles and this one has been burning bright alot this month! I may have actually shown this in a favourites before or maybe in a haul but nethertheless - it's here again. A strong, coconut scent which really lasts - this is so yummy! And lets face it ... everyone loves a yankee candle! 
American Horror Story
TV show now. AHS is something I have been wanting to watch for years an years but I have been too chicken to watch alone. Haha I know - what a wimp
So when the boyf agreed to start the first season with me on Netflix I was super excited! Since then we have watched season 1, season 2 and are now half way through season 3! This show is brilliant.... some of it a bit bloody weird but it is amazing! I love that each season is totally different but they keep the same cast! I have alot of love for Evan Peters right now!
