Fcuk pure bodylotion - Review

I recieved this a couple of years ago in some form of gift set, but i didnt really use it til a couple of months ago. I cant believe i havent used this before, its really lovely.

The scent is 'natural oils of jojoba and coconut and vitamin e' but i really wouldnt describe this as smelling of cocunut. The scent is incredibly fresh, and really reminds me of spring. I can definitely smell jojoba, and its a tiny bit citrus -y too. 

Its of a thin consistency, and a little goes a long way, so it last really well considering its only 75ml . I personally wouldnt use this in the winter, as i just dont think itd moisturise my skin enough because my skin is slightly dry, but its perfect for spring and summer. It soaks in virtually straight away, and isnt sticky in the slightest (i hate that!)

Overall, i definitely recommend this, and ill repurchase it again, but id be more inclined to purchase this in a set (with a shower gel for example). If you want something light and fresh to get you in the mood for spring/summer, this is your ticket!

 You can purchase the Fcuk pure range from Boots and the products are around £5.  

Have you tried this product, or anything else from the Fcuk range?

My Lip Balm Collection

Like my body butter post, this post is also inspired by this cold weather we've been having. Like a lot of girls, my lips need extra care throughout the winter months, and i have sooo many lip balms, I'm never short of something to grab. So lets get to it.




I got these for my 19th birthday, and i LOVE them, i don't know why i haven't used them more! They smell amazing, and the packaging is really stylish. The one on the left is Powder Pink (942) and the one on the right is Bare Minimum (963)
You can buy these here




Vaselineeeeeee. Everybody owns vaseline don't they ! The reason i have so many is because i received the big sized tin with 4 vaselines inside as a gift for christmas.




These are my most recent lip balm purchases, and they're really similar to the Sleek Put Polishes. I love anything themed, and these love heart lip balms had me sold straight away. I would've got them all but they had sold out!
You can buy these from Superdrug, but hurry because i believe they are limited edition!




My boyfriend knows me very well, and got me this vitamin water lip balm in Fruit Punch on his lunch hour when they came free with vitamin water. The smell is AMAZING, and its SPF 15, so ill be sure to wear this everyday during summer!
I got the Burts Bees lip balm off ebay, so it was really cheap - but i can't decide about this one. Its really thick, so you have to apply a decent amount of pressure for it to actually go on. Its so minty, and i don't know why, but its really nice to apply just after you've brushed your teeth!



I got these free with my Boots points in the January sales. I don't know what make they are, but all the products from this range are a fairground/circus theme? Maybe that helps! They smell great, but its a subtle smell, which is really nice for daytime.




These are all Bodyshop. Ive had these for quite some years now, so ill maybe throw them away soon. The Passionberry (left) and Strawberry (right) smell just like they're supposed to, but the Guarana lip balm in the middle absolutely blew my socks off! The smell is so nice, i don't even use this much anymore, i just smell it. Its so fruity and refreshing, i wish i could describe it better but there aren't really any words!



I got this Bodyshop Shea Lip Butter free at christmas as part of an offer, and it hasnt even been used. I figured i may aswell use up a few things i already have before i delve my finger into another! The w7 pina colada is one of my favourite lip balms, purely because pina colada is my favourite drink. I only use this throughout the summer, purely because it makes me feel like I'm on holiday! The far right lip balm is a random i got in a set, and although i haven't actually used it yet, the papaya and mango smell is lovely.




These are randoms from Primark i got in a set a few christmas ago, and i haven't really used these much, but i am going to, purely so i can use them up and throw them away. The packaging is probably the best part about these, and the dainty little pots actually look decorative on my dressing table.




Just Pink by Next is my favourite lip balm of all time. It tastes gorgeous, and the subtle shimmer i leaves on your lips is beautiful. I will most definitely repurchase this (i think its around £2)
The lip balm on the right is a random which i got in a set when i bought a bag. I can't think of the brand, its on the tip of my tongue - maybe someone can help me out? Anyway, i haven't really used this as its completely odourless, which is slightly boring!




These are from Primark, and were £1.50 each, however they're currently on offer for £1. I love these, purely for the taste and smell. The only problem is the screw is a bit temperamental, and I've had to throw a couple away simply because it stopped working, yet i still continue to repurchase these!




I don't even want to use these because i don't want them to run out! They smell just like the cocktails they are supposed to be, ill probably end up eating them at some point.




And finally, this is from the Bodyshop, and smells just like christmas. Its also quite thick, which is perfect for winter months!



So that was my lip balm collection, thanks for getting to the end! Since i started to write this post, the sun has come out and the weather has begun to get warmer.
 Typical.

BIG haul - superdrug/boots

Yesterday i caved. It wasn't a good day for me, as as a treat to myself i splurged, however i am in love with everything I've bought so far, so here it all is. Please note everything i bought was either on offer or part of an offer - i have a good eye for a bargain ;)

(L-R) 17 Blemish Balm in light (£6.99) - i recently purchased the Garnier BB cream, and as this is quite a bit cheaper, i figured i had little to lose and have purchased this, prepare for a comparison review !
17 Peep Show mascara in brown black (£6.29)- i didn't realise it was this shade, as i would've chosen black, but then again i only have 2 brown mascaras, and i usually prefer this shade for the day anyway. As you can kind of see in the photo its quite messy already, and i haven't even used it yet, but I've heard good things about this, and combined with the pretty packaging i couldn't resist.
17 Instant Glow Bronzing Powder (£5.49) - first of all i couldn't believe how big this was for the price! The brilliant leopard print pattern also drew me in, and i loved the idea of the gold infused into the colour. I totally smudged the pattern when i tried to swatch it as you can see in the photo, but i think you get the idea of how it is supposed to look?

These items were in a 3 for 2 offer, so i ended up getting all this £13.28, which isn't the cheapest shop ever, but its nowhere near the most expensive.


These items were 2 for £4.99, so again i couldn't resist!
Collection 2000 Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream - this reminds me of the matt glosses from miners, so i was instantly drawn in. However, there seems to be very little product inside, and it could possibly appear the product has dried up, not sure yet!
Collection 2000 Lock N Hold Lipgloss in Twisted Disco 6 - I have 2 others in this range and love love love them - they don't last anywhere near 6 hours, but the smell and moisturising factor makes these glosses a must have!

There is currently an offer in Superdrug in which you get the Miss Sporty concealer free if you buy another product (i think it was just skin products)
Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer in shade 001 Light - I've recently become a fan of liquid concealers, and this was worth £2.99, so to get it free was a bonus!
Miss Sporty LightEnergy Radiant Look in shade 01 Light (£3.49) - I thought this looked and sounded similar to the BB creams I've been recently purchasing, and i am looking for light layers rather than heavy foundations at the minute, and this looked great for that.

My go to brand MUA! I love love love their lipsticks, and for only a pound my aim to buy the whole collection!
MUA  Lipstick in shade 3 - this is a really hot pink, which doesn't show up on this photo, but i will probably wear this at the weekend so ill do some swatches
MUA pro 3 in 1 extreme Contour Liner - This was free with any MUA product can you believe it?? So i got both these for £1! I think the excitement took over me, as i didn't realise there were different shades of this liner, and i happened to pick up shade 5 Auburn, which i suppose worked out well as i have tons of black liners. Considering this is so cheap to buy anyway, the packaging is really sleek and sturdy - you would think its much more expensive than it is. What makes this liner different is the angle, and on the back of the box are different ways of using this to get different effects - i can't wait to try it !

I've had my eye on this for a while - GOSH foundation primer CLASSIC. I don't have that many primers, and i read someone's blog saying this was their all time favourite. Ive only ever used cream primers before, and when i tested this it left the back of my hand feeling so velvety i was sold straight away. Oh and of course it was in the sale at £10.99

This caught my eye on my way out the shop, and as I've only just looked at the receipt now i did NOT realise it was £7.99, as it was marked on the shelf as considerably cheaper, which is what brought me to it in the first place! Well anyway, i am just a normal girl with body parts id like to improve, and I'm going to rub this on the tops of my legs everyday til it runs out, then do a big review for you all, and if it works i might just have to repurchase it !

I've recently had a breakout, so I'm on a mission to better my skin for good. Ive used to cleanser since i can remember, its my go to skincare product, however i thought if I'm going to do this properly i need to go the whole hog.
(L-R) Deep Action cream wash (£1.99) - i felt this would be better for my dry skin than a gel wash, and the product is a really good size for the price
Deep Cleansing lotion (£1.89) - I know i love this product, and i know it works for me, so i have repurchased, and ill probably repurchase a 100 times
Dual Action Moisturiser (2.39) - MissBudgetBeauty raves about this, and she seems to have similar skin to me, so i figured it could also become one of my favourite products

All these products were reduced in price, which is one of the reasons why i chose them, aside from the fact they're one of my favourite skincare brands

I didn't purchase the moisturiser today, so ignore that!
These are the other skin products i purchased in the hope for clear skin.
Foaming Face Wash and Cleanser and Toner - All these products smell amazing, and I've heard they are very good for spot prone skin, and i have currently started using these, so watch out for a big review soon!



THATS EVERYTHING! this has taken me so long to do, i didn't think it would be this long, and i have another haul to do before the day is out!
I hope you enjoyed my bargain haul ( I ended up saving £11.54 in super drug - WOW!) and if you have tried any of these products please let me know what you think.
Also, you all deserve a medal for getting to the end of this haul!

GlossyBox nail wipes review

Well, i wasnt the most excited to see these Deborah Lippman - The Stripper To Go nail wipes, as it's not really something thats on my wish list each month - more of a basic essentials type thing. However, after seeing how much they cost (£14 for 6 - i think) i thought it would be a nice treat to try out something i wouldnt pay full price for!
I loved the lavender smell, it was a very pleasant change to the usual burn your nostrils nail polish remover! I had a few small cuts on my fingers also which didnt sting like they usually would. Having said alllllll that, i was disappointed at the fact i could only remove polish from 8 fingers, despite the fact it was stated that one mitt would remove polish from all 10. I dont have particularly long nails, so there wasnt even a great deal to take off. No matter how much i rubbed and rubbed, i was eventually forced to admit defeat, and get out my trusty boots own brand nail polish remover, which did the trick in seconds.
Overall i was disappointed with this product, and would definitely not purchase the full sized version, especially when comparing the price and quality of the product, although it was nice to indulge in something a little more pricier !

Have you tried this product?  How did you feel about receiving this in your christmas glossy box?
