I love trying new products, all the time I’m buying new beauty products and falling in love so I use them all the time but some of my favourites before that can be pushed behind. Since I try so much my old favourites can be forgotten about so I want to love them more. I went though my collection to see what I haven’t used in so long to rediscover and remembered exactly why I loved them.

 To start with primer, all though last summer I used the Becca backlight priming filter to help give my skin a glow to it and throughout the autumn / winter I completely forgot about it! As spring is coming up I will be bringing this back into my routine to help my skin looks ready for the weather!

 For foundations, the first foundation I ever used was the L’Oreal true match and I rarely reach for it. I tend to choose my other foundations over it but I tried it yesterday again and I don’t know why I neglected it. I saw why I loved it as the finish is amazing and so is the texture on my skin and I will be bringing this back now!

 For palettes this was my go to and favourite palette and I have no idea why I stopped using it. Maybe it got pushed to the back of my drawer but the Tartelette in bloom palette is so amazing. It has all the neutral shades in I need and I love it so much - if I only had 1 palette in my life it would be this! I love how it’s such a wearable shade range and full of creamy, blendable shades.

 For lips it’s a known fact how amazing the Jeffree Star velour liquid lipsticks are and this is no myth. I have the shade mannequin and it is one of my favourite shades I’ve ever used! Now I don’t reach for liquid lipsticks much it’s almost been forgotten about - I do need a new one! But I love it so much and think the formula and shade are amazing.

 It made me so happy to rediscover these amazing products and makes me wonder why I stopped using them in the first place. I love them as they are just amazing products I don’t think I’ll ever put down again.

 If you’re a constant reader of my blog, you’ll know how problematic my skin is! It’s always breaking out and I’m always having problems do I try so many products to try help calm if. Also due to the medication it can become really dry

I have realised recently there are so many products that Haven’t worked but I’ve also got my holy grails that work. They’ve all been included in other blogposts but never had a post sharing how much they saved my skin - they’re my go to products when it’s bad.


 I’m going to start with the biggest lifesaver I own. The Glamglow Instamud 60 Second Pore-Refining Treatment. This has helped my skin out so much - I’ve bad pores when they flare up and this mask is like a lifesaver. It helps control my skin before a breakout and is so quick so I’ve felt myself reaching for it so much recently.

 Onto a toner, I’ve found a new love for the Pixi glow tonic. I did a post reviewing it and my skin had changed for the better. This has given it such a glow, helped reduce the little bump spots and made it visibly softer - exactly what I want during the winter months to help me look more alive now everyday I’m reaching for it as it works wonders.

 My skin can get so so dry if I don’t maintain it and I’ve found the best moisturiser for it during the winter is diprobase. As this is for dry skin it can go on your face and it is such a thick hydrating cream which revived my skin when it’s feeling dry and tough helping it look dewy and give it the moisture it needs! No one I know uses this and I think it’s one of my best kept skincare secrets but more people need to try it.

 Onto the last little gem to help my spots is the body shop tea tree oil. I find when I have spots coming or ones there, if I put this on them overnight after afew days it helps really reduce the size and sometimes makes them go completely which helps so much. My skin can break out so much so sometimes I put it everywhere but it helps me so much and I feel like I just need it in my life now


 I don’t know what I’d do without all of these! They’ve helped my skin out so much and help it be nearly clear which I’m so glad as it really boosts my confidence. Nothing nicer then clear skin as I wear less makeup and feel so much better about myself!

 I am the worst at looking after mr hair - it’s a fact. I have long frizzy hair and it’s not in good condition but over the past few months I’ve been trying to change it. I want my hair condition to improve and I can honestly say I’ve noticed it.

 I want a simple / affordable routine that works so well and I think I’ve cracked the coke. This routine happens every 3 days, and I try keep my hair in the best condition I can as I love my long hair so I’m doing everything to save it and not cut it off.

 Do stert, my shampoo & conditioner I use is the L’Oreal elvive dream length range. I am on my 3rd bottle of this and it’s like liquid gold! It’s got the most amazing scent and the ingredients inside is are helping my hair so much. Recently they’ve brought out a stonger conditioner too the rapid reviver power conditioner and I’m starting using this as I really need it.

 Onto my favourite hair mask, if joins hand in hand with this as it’s the matching hair mask to the shampoo & conditioner - the L’Oreal elvive dream length saviour mask. This doesn’t half do that it says! Its my saving grace when my hair is feeling fully and brittle, as it makes it feel amazing as soon as I put it in, so now I use it atleast once a week. I didn’t realise how little people use a heat protectant.


I use heat on my hair everytime when I wash it so a protectant is essential to me as I hope it can help me hair be less damaged due to the heat! I use the TRESemme Protect Heat Defence Styling Spray as it’s so easy to spray in my dry hair before I use heat and it helps it.

 Oil is an essential for my hair. I really do notice the difference in the ends of my hair when I don’t use it as it helps soften it and help calm the frizz down. Especially if I don’t use a mask it helps keep the ends in good condition. I use the L’Oreal elvive extraordinary oil. This smells amazing and had such a silky & smoothe texture.

 This routine has probably saved my hair. Without it I’d hate to think what condition my hair would be in but it’s just full of holy grail products you need in your life! L’Oreal truly do good by my hair.

When it comes creating a style there’s one important thing I’ve learn the past few months whilst trying - you need to get your staple pieces first! to start building up your wardrobe you need to find your staples that go with everything and you wear everyday.

 Getting essentials makes you realise how many they are. If I’m honest I’m still building them up and I don’t think it’ll stop anytime soon as there is so many essentials to have as they can fit your style or personal preferenace

 Starting on bottoms, you may expect to see a denim skirt after my styling a denim skirt was my last fashion post. I just think these are such an essential as they go with anything and everything yet make an outfit look so much more cuter then you’d expect. It adds a look as if you’ve put more effort then you actually have into your outfit and I’m all for that

 For jeans, it has to be my Black joni jeans. Topshop jeans are so worth the investment as they’re such good quality and so comfy to wear everyday - I can last in them for hours. The only downside is the black fades but I just re-dye them for the amount I wear the jeans as they’re my go to and I think joni jeans are the best topshop do.

 Onto tops, as we live in the uk one thing I think everyone needs is a Black & Grey long sleeved t-shirt. Wether it’s for layering on like me to wear on their own, they’re essential if it’s cold! I think they’re so easy to style with a jacket to throw on and they are so universal in accessories you can too. They keep you warm and are such good quality - with such a perfect fit

 During the summer I lived in my white cami. It’s such a wearable top! It’s so light and I love how it looks on so I reached for it so much. It’s definitely quickly became an essential as it’s basic but you can get so many colours of it and it’s so universal to style in any season - you can layer it and put it with anything

 For shoes, my all time go to are my black ankle boots. They’re comfy and go with everything so I pretty much just wear these all the time! They have lasted me over a year and are still in such good condition - I really love them and I know they are always going to be my favourite shoes as they’re the ones that have lasted me

 This is just afew of my personal essentials, you might not feel like you need these - but I couldn’t live without them! I find these are what I always reach for on those days so I love them all so much and think they’re so worth investing in

 It’s 2019 and it’s beyond me why companies still test on animals. It’s wrong on so many levels. I can’t wait till one day it’ll be banned all together. I wanted to shine a light on some amazing brands who don’t test on animals because there are so many brands out there that don’t and have amazing products which deserve love and using them is keeping the bunnies safe. If you want to find out cruelty free brands, the cruelty free kitten helped me so much! https://www.crueltyfreekitty.com/skincare/cruelty-free-skincare-brands/

 I’m going to start with lips because they’re skincare too! I love my burt’s bee’s peppermint Lip balm as its such an amazing, natural and hydrating lip-balm which helps my lips so much in the winter weather. The peppermint also makes my lips tingle which I love so much so I use this almost everyday to help hydrate my lips and knowing the brand are doing well I love supporting them


 For a face wash, I’ve been using the kiehl’s ultra facial cleanser as this is such a gentle cleanser, which is perfect for my sensitive skin and it is gel based so it just gets rid of any dirt and oil on my face. I love how the brand are sustainable, recycle and use natural skincare so being able to use a product that works well and support an amazing brand really helps

 For a cream based cleanser, I love the Elmis balancing lime blossom cleanser. This had the softest nicest scent and leaves my skin feel so good! It’s like a lovely luxury product I get excited to use as it gets all my makeup off, smells divine and my skin is left completely clean.

 For a toner, I am really loving the the body shop British Rose Petal-Soft Gel Toner. This is so different to any toner I’ve used as it’s gel based and I’ve noticed how softer and more hydrated my skin has been using it! It’s alcohol free and the ingredients are from an organic community trade in Mexico

 Knowing a brand is Cruelty free makes me want to support it more! These amazing products are so good and deserve to have do much recognition for the brand and the product itself!

This last 6 months of blogging has changed my life. In August my blog blew up - the views increased significantly and have ever since!

 There’s no denying primark is amazing! It’s a store that sells everything for affordable prices, what’s not to love?? The clothes are amazing and I’ve been diving into their beauty products more recently and I haven’t half found some gems.

 I love primark so much so I always go to the beauty / skincare and bits isle whilst I’m shopping and if hooks me in! There are so many little bits - sons arguably better then others but all for such affordable prices I can’t resist trying it.


 The most recent of all is the primark x alex steinherr range. Out of everything I tried from it, my favourite product had to be the overnight lip mask! This is perfect for the cold weather to help hydrate my lips whilst l giving them a gorgeous tint. For £4 this is becoming a holy grail life saver as the cold weather kills my lips but this is helping so much.

   I haven’t honestly tried much of primark makeup other then afew odd bits but looking at it, I saw a instant gem. I’ve never seen such an amazing highlighter as this for £2.50. The price shocked me considering how much pigment and how glowy this is - I think it has to be holy grail. I think that packaging is cheap but at the price point you expect it, but the products is more then worth it.

 Ive recently started wearing lashes and I’m honestly loving them! But they are expensive wow. This is why the primark ones are prefect - they’re not too much and fit my eyes perfectly it’s almost as if they’re made for me! I like you can see them but they aren’t huge. I’m loving the ‘sultry’ and ‘full look’ pairs but I need to try more and for £1 with glue included you can’t go wrong!

 I think primark best kept secrets is their nail polish. I am so in love with the quick dry nail polishes and they are only 60p. These are tiny little nail varnishes with such good pigmentation, dry quickly and rarely crease. I would only say shades are so hard to get - the nude one I use hasn’t came back or any metallics so it’s such a shame! But the shades they’ve got are so pretty and well worth trying.

I guarantee primark have more gems then I know of and I can’t wait to discover them but these are some of my favourites! I will be sure to try more out now I’ve seen how amazing these are.
