A mask which heats up?


The Body Shop always have great deals running throughout the store and I have always been a big fan of their skincare line as it's so cheap and cheerful. I had heard numerous raving reviews on the warming mineral mask which is a deep cleansing facial mud mask so when I saw that the store had a 40% off deal running, I couldn't resist. We've all tried those peel of masks which come in a sachet for 99p in our teen days but realistically they end up doing more harm than good in the long run.

Camomile Cleansing Butter


For months and months, all I kept hearing was talk about the Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter which got me very intrigued. It wasn't until my lovely friend Zee from over at GlitZeeGlam convinced me that I needed it in my skincare routine that I picked it up from my local Body Shop to give it a try for myself. I've been using it on and off ever since purchasing it a few months back, and needless to say I am quite the fan.

A-Z Of Beauty Brands


























For today's post, I'm going to be sharing the love of some of my favourite brands out there in the beauty industry. To mix it up a little, I thought I would do it alphabetically and give one for each of the letter (minus a few) of the alphabet, an idea I saw over at ALOIt can be quite daunting keeping up with new releases all the time however there's nothing better than finding hidden gems out there or just simply trying a new product out for the first time.

A Brush For Your Face?



 I recently got in contact with Magnitone regarding one of their newly released items which you may or may not heard of, the Magnitone Lucid Facial Brush. I squealed with excitement when I was offered it at a much lower price than the original cost of £69.99 so when it arrived through my door a couple of days later the packaging came off and it got put straight to the test. 

They come in a selection of bright, fun colours; Aqua Green, Sunshine Yellow, Dazzling Blue and Plush Pink. Of course being the girly girl that I am it was a wise decision to chose the pink colour to review. I have never tried anything quite like this before, although there are currently an array of them on the market. I found it to be very similar to the Clarisonic, however just a fraction of the price. Bargain. Although it is usually described as an exfoliation brush, it can also be used to remove all makeup, giving the face a deep cleanse. It works wonders at making sure all dirt is removed, leaving my skin feeling very clean aswell as smooth. The one down side is that I wouldn't recommend using it everyday as it can end up leaving your skin rather dry. Apart from that I am over the moon that I have now got this device as part of my skin care routine as my skin has never felt any better. I have recently been suffering from a lot of blemishes around my T-Zone area which has left a bit of scarring on my face. I discovered that using this with the right cleanser, such as the Camomile Cleansing Oil from the Body Shop, which is my favourite cleanser to use with this at the moment, has really helped to not get rid of my scarring but to fade it and to help control my blemishes.

Best Ever Cleansing Oil


After months and months of using Bioderma and a cotton pad or two to remove the majority of my eye and base makeup as a little pre-cleanse, I decided to go on the hunt for the perfect do it all in one. As a huge fan of blogger Amelia Liana, it came as no surprise that my discovery was all down to that wonderful woman.

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil is honestly one of the best cleansers I have ever put to the trial. Of course I do still love my cleansing balms more than anything, but they tend to be on more of the high end side, whereas this life changing saviour (well for myself anyways) is more on the budget side. It is an oil that you apply directly onto your dry face, even if that is with a full face of makeup on, massaging it into all areas where makeup has been applied, then rinsing with a damp flannel or muslin cloth. Luckily enough for us sensitive-eyed human beings, it will not harm in the slightest if you get it anywhere near you eyes. Hence why this has became my holy grail cleansing oil in the matter of months. Seeing as it has a very runny texture, I love that it comes with a pump making it mess free and easy to get the product out the bottle. Due to the chamomile ingredient which has been used, after cleansing my skin is left feeling ultra smooth with not a bit of residue left in sight. Its amazing if you are in one of those lazy moods and can't be faffed with doing the whole skin routine, as it is rather nourishing for the skin aswell as being quick and efficient. I strongly recommend giving this a go if you are on a budget and looking for the right cleanser for you. Even if you tend to have oiler skin, don't be scared to give it a go.
