Hey Guys, Today's post is all about Coconut Cosmetic's products, that I was lucky enough to have sent to me to review. I received their Lavender Lip Balm & Hair Repair Oil, it's safe to say that I am a huge fan of these products! First up we have their Lavender LipBalm which retails for £6.45 for 10ml of product. This lip balm isn't too over the top with scent which I love! However when applied it has a very sweet taste which is heavenly. It is extremely long lasting, I can apply it and leave it for hours to work its magic! Since using this product my lips are soft, well hydrated and the general health of my lips seems too have improved greatly. I don't just use this during the day but I have also taken to applying a more generous layer before bed, like a kind of mask, giving it all night to soak in and hydrate the lips! Lipsticks have applied better since using this product & look better on the lips too! I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a new lip balm, its travel friendly, works brilliantly and will have your lips looking healthy and hydrated in no time! If you aren't a fan of lavender they have other scents available too, as well as lip scrub products! Next up we have their Hair Repair Oil which retails for £12.50 for 20ml. This oil is full of all kinds of goodness! Coconut oil which helps restore elasticity in your hair and helps with dry scalps and psoriasis. Argan oil hydrates and nourishes hair. Castor oil which helps to promote hair growth as well as thickening the hair. While Vitamin A & E helps to boost the rest of the ingredients. I suffer from psoriasis around the scalp area, after using this oil twice a week for a few weeks, its helped reduce my psoriasis dramatically. I have been rubbing this into my scalp twice a week, over night, once a week all over the hair including the ends and then just the scalp the 2nd time. Although this is a oil it isn't too heavy and it washes out easily the next morning. I do double shampoo when I have used it all over the hair and scalp to make sure its all out and doesn't leave me with greasy hair. My hair has become so shiny, it looks healthy, long and luscious. My scalp has improved with psoriasis, and the general health of the scalp. All in all I highly recommend this for anyone who has psoriasis on the scalp or nape of the neck, it will help to improve the general health of your skin. It's also a great mask to leave on for 20 minutes for anyone who's looking to add some extra moisture, improve dullness and strengthen and thicken the hair. I am so impressed with these products, both have delivered and worked well for me. I will most definitely be carrying on using them and will re-purchase when I run out! I hope you've enjoyed my review! Be sure to check their products out and let me know your experiences with them! Until Next Time, Although these products where sent to me, all views are that of my own and are a true representation of they have worked for me!

Hey Guys, As you can see above today's post is about the Body Shop's Black Musk Scent. Available in many different forms such as fragrance mist at £8.50, Eau de Toilette from £13, Eau de Parfum £22 and many more products. I opted to try the fragrance mist and the Eau de Toilette. Black Musk is a complete dupe for Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium perfume which has been my go to for a few years now, but at £52 for 30ml's its definitely more of a luxury perfume to have! I had heard that this was a dead ringer for the YSL favourite and they weren't wrong! It smells exactly the same as my go to perfume! I was over the moon! Now I have a handbag perfume to top up my daily scent! Now YSL last's all day, you can spray it at 9am and still smell it 12 hours later, the Black Musk doesn't quite have the same staying power however with its price tag being lower you can afford those few extra squirts! The Eau de Toilette retails from £13 for 30ml's. This is the stronger of the 2 products that I purchased. It lasts a good 4-6 hours. The 2nd product was their Fragrance Mist and it retails for £8.50 for 100ml. This product isn't as strong, it's more of a subtle scent compared to the Eau de Toilette. It does wear off fairly quickly, but is perfect for a top up in the handbag!
Over all I am so happy to have found a dupe for YSL that has a less hefty price tag, don't get me wrong I will still be indulging in my luxury scent but this is perfect for the handbag or to top up throughout the day. The main notes of the perfume for me are definitely the black vanilla, the pear and marzipan and almond. All combined to make the deep sensuous and sexy scent. Perfect for fall and winter as its a much deeper than the fruity scents that I go for in the summer! I hope you've enjoyed my review on the Body Shop's Black Musk & it's comparison to YSL's Black Opium. If you know of any other dupe's let me know down below! Until Next Time, Hey Guys, Today's post is a lust list of all the Summer releases that have come out over the last few months and a few that are coming out over the next few weeks. So without further ado let's jump straight in! 1. Mac Matte Lipstick £17.50 In the new shade "Yash" which is a gorgeous Deep nude. Mac lipsticks have a creamy rich formula. Their colour payoff is always amazing and the last really well. 2. Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Powder £24.50 Having seen a few YouTuber's try this out and the results looking flawless it's a must buy this summer! I love making sure my make up is locked in for the duration! 3. Love Beauty And Planet Majestic Moisture Shower Gel £5.99 A new brand to the UK, this looks perfect for keeping the skin hydrated and well moisturised.. Not only is the packaging attractive but it's made out of 100% recycled. 4. Huda Beauty Demi Matte Cream Lipstick £18 This new formula looks amazing, I have been a lover of liquid lips but in recent months really gone off them as I find them drying. This formula looks creamy and comfortable to wear. The shade "Day Slayer" looks like a gorgeous nude! 5. Too Faced Tutti Frutti Collection This collection has some really gorgeous pieces. I can't wait too get my hands on a few of the items. I like the look of the eyeshadow palette's, the banana powder and the bronzer duo! This collection is so bright and fun, reminds me of going on holiday! Perfect summer collection! 6. Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Mini Palette £41 Famed for her high quality eyeshadows with creamy and pigmented formula. This new palette named "Camel" has all the kind of shades I love!

I need some new shades for contouring and these shades look beautiful and how can I resist the highlighter?! 9. Hourglasas Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder Travel Size £20 Although Hourglass has been out for a while with their strobe powder this is the first time it's been available in a travel size. I'm yet to try this so I may get a travel size and see if it lives up to the hype! 10. Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette £34 When I saw this, I feel in love! Highlighters are my favourite make up items and this looked so blinding and beautiful! I thought the price point for a 4 pan palette was so reasonable. It has to be part of my collection!

Until Next Time, Hey Guys, Today's post is all about the products I have been loving the last few months! Instead of doing these Monthly I thought I would move them to every other month so that there was more chance for better reviews and chance for me to test products. There's been a few releases the last few months that I have enjoyed, which get's me so excited for Christmas releases which will start piling in after the fall releases! Without further ado, let's jump straight in! Favourite Product Smashbox X Vlada Petal Metal Cover Shot Eyeshadow Palette This retails for £26 and is available from Smashbox & Boots, it's a limited edition palette from the collaboration with Make up artist Vlada. The quality of these eyeshadows are amazing, their pigmented, easy to work with and blend out beautifully. Click Here For My Full Review Jouer High Coverage Crème Foundation Available from both BeautyBay & CultBeaty for £34. This foundation is without a doubt 1 of the most full coverage I have tried. It covers all blemishes, dark circles and imperfections. You do have to work fast with this product as it does dry fairly quickly. But as long as your quick to blend out then the formula makes you look airbrushed and perfect! Click Here For My Full Review Smashbox X Vlada Petal Metal Highlighter Another from the Vlada collaboration with Smashbox. This time their highlighter which retails for £30 from both Smashbox & Boots. The packaging for this collection is beautiful both the inner and outer packaging. It almost looked to good to use. I got the shade Gilded Rose which was a beautiful subtle gold with champagne reflects with a slight pink sheen aswell. It is a more subtle highlighter that can be built up! For My Full Review Click Here Kat Von D 10 Year Anniversary Metal Crush Extreme Highlighter This was available from Debenhams for £25 it is limited edition again for Kat's 10 year anniversary of having a brand. This highlighter is one of my favourite products of the year so far, as we know by now I love highlighters! This highlighter is absolutely beautiful and so blinding. Blends out beautifully and although is blinding you can build it up to be out of this world. This definitely has a 24K sparkle with both yellow and pale gold really sparkling in the light & it definitely catches the light. Click Here For A Full Review. Superdrug Vitamin E Hydrating Mist Available from Superdrug at just £2.99 for 150ml's of product. This is a superdrug range which I recently reviewed all based on Vitamiin E.
