The £2 Pink Glitter Lipgloss

Hey there lovelies. It's a bright and sunny day here in the UK. Yay! Maybe this means that hopefully soon I can have that BBQ! I popped to the shops today and it was so so busy. The sunshine had definitely brought everyone out. Even though it means shopping can be a bit more hectic than usual, it makes me feel all summery and I love seeing everyone enjoying themselves. All I wanna do now is go to the seaside and have fish & chips!

Today's brand new blog post is all about this gorgeous (see photos above and below) Shine Shine Shine pink glitter lipgloss by Essence. I absolutely love makeup by Essence, (as you may already know)! Check out my post here, on their Kiss The Unicorn Lipstick. Also, you can check out the Balmy Kiss Lip Care, lip balm here. Also just to warn you, there will be another Essence blog post coming very soon! Anyway, it's been so long since I have worn any lipgloss, but I really just fancied wearing some. So I popped into my local Wilko store and found myself this beauty of a lipgloss. It's pink and sparkly, what more could you want in a lipgloss!? I don't know why I suddenly wanted some lipgloss. Maybe it's because my collection of lipsticks is still slowly growing and so I just fancied something different to wear on my lips!

Essence has an amazingly huge range of lip products, and each one of them is just so gorgeous. But this was the lipgloss I was drawn too. It just wanted to be worn, and my lips just wanted to wear it! I remember when I younger and at school, and all of my friends seemed to be wearing lipgloss, it was like the latest craze. During each break between lessons, they would get their lipglosses out and apply some. I think it was mainly because lipgloss can look very natural on the lips, depending which shade you get and you also don't have to have glitter ones, so no one really took notice that it was being worn!

The Amazing, Under £5, Leave-In Conditioner

What is it about my dreams feeling so real recently?! Does anyone else get dreams like this? They just feel very real. Sometimes I wake up and I have to think for a few moments if that really did just happen! I think I dream most nights, I don't nessacarliy remember them always, but I know I do dream a lot. I really should start writing them down. I know you can get dream journals, maybe this is something I should start doing! Does anyone else keep a dream journal or just write down your dreams? I would love to know. Anyway, enough about my dreams, I hope you are having a lovely week so far. I'm so happy that the weather has been really lovely and sunny today. Hopefully, we are going to have a few more days like it.

Today I want to share with you, one of my most favourite hair products to use. It's the Palmer's Coconut Oil Leave-In Conditioner. I've been using this for a little while now and I absolutely love it, and my hair loves it too. By the way, this post is in no way sponsored, I just really love this product and want to share it with you. When it comes to hair products, I'm always a little unsure of which ones to buy. My hair is quite thin and I also dye it blonde, so I always love products that are moisturising. But as my hair is quite thin, sometimes certain products can make it feel all icky. Like when you condition your hair in the shower, but accidentally miss some of it, and it makes your hair feel horrible. You know what I mean?!

I think, to be honest, my hair now is probably the healthiest it's been in a long time. It just started to get quite dry and I started getting quite a lot of split ends. As I'm still trying to grow my hair longer, keeping it healthy is really important to me. Over the years I haven't treated my hair as well as I could have done. Quite a few years ago back when I was at school, I remember using hair straighteners every day. I did this for quite some time! Some days I even straightened my hair maybe 2 or 3 times. It definitely didn't do my hair much good. I haven't straightened my hair now myself for years. As I got a bit older, I then started dying my hair and having bleach on it. I also ended up having to have my hair cut quite a bit shorter as the ends of hair were just getting wrecked. It's only really recently that I have really started to care for my hair more.

What's In My April Birchbox!

Happy Saturday! How amazing has the weather been this past couple of days! I mean wow, I really didn't expect lovely warm weather like this. I'm so ready for it. Fingers crossed that it's going to be nice next week, as my boyfriend said about having a BBQ. It feels like forever since I've had a BBQ. What's your favourite BBQ food? I'm thinking of having some vegetable skewers, burgers, maybe a hot dog. I can't wait! It feels so good to not have to go outside wearing a thick coat and jumper, even though I absolutely love jumpers, it's nice to wear something a little lighter and I'm definitely getting the jelly shoes out too. I'm looking forward to long days on the beach, picnics, going to the fair and just relaxing in the nice warm sunshine. What are you looking forward to doing as the weather gets warmer?

Ok, so before I get into this post, I will say this now, I've never had a subscription beauty box before, I've always looked at getting one, but there's just so many to choose from and I just thought would it actually be worth getting one. And to be completely honest with you, even though I have looked at getting a Birchbox subscription box before, this time what made me even more tempted to get one, was the collaboration between Birchbox and Cath Kidston! I mean, just look at the box! (Scroll down to the bottom of this post to check it out). I also watched a couple of videos on YouTube to make my decision too though, it wasn't purely just because of the box! 😏

I already knew that with the subscription box you don't get all of the products as full sized amount products, but after watching video reviews, it was obvious that you still get a generous amount and your money worth in products. Also, I like to make products last me as long as possible anyway. But even though you do get smaller sized ones, you do still get maybe one or two full-sized products within the box. But adding up the value of each, it's still good value for money. Also just to put it out there, this post is in no way sponsored, I got this box with my own money as a birthday treat and thought that I would also feature it on my blog, to help you decide if you are looking at getting one. Also if your like me and have spent months and months deciding if to get one or not. If you want to get your very own Birchbox, click here.

My Mini Shower Gel Collection by The Body Shop

Hey everyone! How's your weekend going? I hope you're having a good one. I think I've mentioned on here about my dreams before, because oh my gosh, I do have some strange ones. But do you ever have dreams where you dream about people you have never seen or met before? Because that's what my dream was. There were people in it that I've never seen before. But the dream felt so real and it felt like a really long dream too, like I can actually remember most of it, which doesn't always happen, I tend to forget most of my dreams. But it was just such a strange dream. I can still picture the two people in it. I woke up this morning and just thought... 'Who was that'? Anyway, enough of me rambling on about my dreams! I really should start one of those dream journals.

Before I get on to today's new post, If you are a big fan of products by The Body Shop, like me, then I highly recommend checking out these gorgeous liquid lipsticks. Also in their makeup range, they do some really lovely eyeshadow palettes, which I absolutely love. I've got a few more products by The Body Shop coming up on my blog soon, which I really can't wait to share with you. This week I received a very exciting package from Old English Company. There will be a blog post coming very soon, so watch this space.

For today's post, I want to share with you my mini collection of The Body Shop shower gels. I do love a nice smelling shower gel, it just makes having a shower that little bit more lovelier and relaxing. The ones I have in the photos above and below are strawberry, coconut and mango. How cute does Fluttershy look in the photos! (She's my favourite character from My Little Pony, so I just had to include her in some pics!) I love putting a generous amount of shower gel on to my pink scrunchie and lathering myself up with fruity bubbles!

Three Gorgeous Liquid Lipsticks by The Body Shop

How lovely has today been! The sun makes me so much better and happier. I even made sure I popped outside to take some photos in the sunshine. Not long now until it will be light until 9:00pm! Our little tree outside in the garden has started sprouting its buds, so I just had to take a few photos. I managed to get some photos of the bumblebees buzzing around the buds too. It's definitely this time of year, I just hope we continue to get some lovely weather, and I'm really looking forward to the nice warm days. I even didn't have to wear my coat for some of today!

If you read the caption underneath my latest Instagram post, you may have seen that I put about really wanting to start a Bullet Journal. It's something I have been wanting to do for quite some time but just haven't got round to starting one. So today I got myself a very pretty sparkly pink Unicorn notebook and I'm going to start one! It would have been nice to have started it in January, to be honest, but better late than never! Please do let me know if you have any posts or videos on making a bullet journal.

For todays brand new blog post, I want to share with you these three gorgeous liquid lipsticks by The Body Shop. I was a bit unsure of what to call this blog post, but the title I decided upon just seems to be so fitting, as they really are three gorgeous liquid lipsticks! I treated myself to my first liquid lipstick quite some time ago now after hearing so much about them. I've been hooked ever since. I just had to share these beauties with you, especially if like me you're a fan of the liquid lipstick. They are definitely worth checking out. You may have already noticed that I included my Belle Pop! Vinyl figure in the photos! I've been looking experimenting with my photos and trying to find what works and what doesn't. I decided that seeing as my Pops are just sitting on my desk, I really should use them more in photos. You can check out my latest Pop! Vinyl figures here. I think they make an amazing blog prop. I added my new potted plant in the photo too. I've got a few blogs props that I haven't used in my photos just yet, so I'm really excited to try them out.

The Perfect Fuchsia Lipstick For Spring

I thought I would make the most of the sunshine today and get some more photos taken for upcoming blog posts. I also went outside into my garden, as we have some buds coming out on a little tree, I just had to take some photos of them. But I only managed to get about 2 good photos and then it started raining. So I'm going to have to wait a little longer before I can get some more photos outside. It's actually still raining outside now, but hopefully, we will get some more nice weather real soon. So instead I got myself some lunch and watched Once Upon A Time, as I'm a little behind on the new episodes. I'm really excited though that some of the characters from the previous seasons will be making a return. I also see that there is going to be a brand new PLL series coming next year. Alison and Mona will be in it. I need to read up on it though as I'm a little confused with what it's going to be about. Please fill me in if you know! I also spent today with my nan as it is her 90th birthday today.

Today I am very excited to share with you a brand new beauty post and yes, that's right another lipstick one! I do love my lipsticks, which you probably already know by now! The one in the photos above and below is the Too Faced Melted Lipstick in the shade Melted Fuchsia. I absolutely adore the packaging of Too Faced products. They are so gorgeous. This is actually the only product by Too Faced. I won this one in a giveaway and let me tell you, I was so so happy because I finally got to have a product by Too Faced. I've always loved looking at photos of Too Faced products on Instagram and reading about them in reviews. I just had to take some photos and write about this one.

The £1 Lipstick and Lip Liner by MUA

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are having a lovely day. Easter is almost here and it's almost the end of March too! I've got a couple of Easter eggs, so I'm really looking forward to eating those. I love that there is a much bigger selection of free from Easter eggs now in the supermarkets. What are your plans for the weekend? Also thank you so much for all of the love I've been getting on my Instagram photos, it really means so much to me. I've been working really hard on my photos and I love that you love them. It makes me so happy.

I do love a good bargain and I do love my lipsticks! Although I absolutely love products by Urban Decay, Mac, Stila and many more, I also love, love, love products by more affordable brands such as MUA, Revolution Makeup and Essence. Ever since my local Superdrug started selling products by MUA a few years back, I've been a huge fan. I've loved their lipsticks ever since I purchased one of the One Direction lipsticks that they brought out. I got stocked up on a couple of those before they stopped selling them. I've still got one to use. You may remember that I featured one of them in My Favourite Lipsticks post.

Just because a product is very affordable, doesn't mean that it's not going to be very good. I personally prefer makeup products that cost a few pounds to more expensive ones. The quality is just as good, if not better. If like me, you are on a very strict budget and want to save money, brands such as MUA, Revolution Makeup, Natural Collection and Essence are great for buying makeup products. They have such a huge range and are amazing.

The Body Shop Down To Earth Eye Palette | Review

Happy Thursday. It's that time of the week again for another brand new blog post. If you're looking for a brand new book to read, I highly recommend checking out The Little Wedding Island by Jaimie Admans. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book so much, I didn't want it to end. I loved everything about it, the characters, the story, the setting of the book, I just loved everything about it so much. Another book to check out, especially if you love historical romance novels, is The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare. I also want to quickly thank everyone again for 1000 followers on Instagram. I'm still so happy about it. I've been working really hard on my Instagram feed and I have really enjoyed taking all of the photos so much. Stay tuned for lots more! If you would like to advertise your blog with me on ClemLoves, head on over to my advertise section on my blog to check out my 3 brand new advertising packages. Prices start from just £2 for the month. I look forward to hearing from you.

Has anyone else been watching Star Boot Sale on Channel 4? I've been watching it this week and I am absolutely loving it. Basically, celebrities have a dig at home at what stuff they can find and don't want or need anymore, they then set up a car boot sale stall and try and sell as many items as they can and the money then goes to charity. I think it's just such a great show and really entertaining. I do have a tendency to be quite predictable when it comes to watching TV shows, I do usually have the same programs on, but that's just because I love them so much! In the mornings you will usually find me watching Everybody Love Raymond, Frasier, Gordon Ramsay and Undercover Boss USA. I also love watching Come Dine With Me, Four In A Bed and The Simpsons. I've watched The Simpsons since I was very young and for as long as I can remember and I still love watching them now I'm 28! I never get bored of watching them, even if I have seen the episodes many, many times before. In the evenings, you will most likely find me watching Family Guy and American Dad! I do love my cartoons! What daytime/evening shows do you like watching?

Sleek Makeup Matte Me Lip Cream in Rioja Red | Review

Good morning! Well, actually it's almost afternoon now, but anyway I hope you are having a lovely day. It's been snowing! We've actually had some more snow, but this time it doesn't seem to have settled, plus the sun is coming out a little now. I knew that we were meant to be getting some snow here in Lincolnshire, but I didn't actually think we would probably get any! I woke up at about half 2 this morning and looked outside, to see that there were snowflakes falling from the sky. It's also been snowing on and off all morning. Have you had or got any snow where you are? But it is so cold outside, I'm currently writing this whilst sitting in bed with my blanket over me! I've also had to put the heating on too. Slight change of subject and completely off topic, but I quickly have to mention about the Cristopher Robin Disney trailer. I mean wow, It gave me goosebumps! Seeing Pooh there at the end gave me so many feels. I really can't wait to watch this film. If you haven't watched the trailer yet, I highly recommend doing so. Let me know what you think when you have watched it. 

Before I get into this post, be sure to check out my previous posts, The Duchess Deal, I highly recommend checking this book out, I love it. You can check out my review and there's also an extract from the book too. Also, there's my review of the Kiss The Unicorn Lipstick, which is also a colour-changing lipstick by Essence and it is so pretty, super affordable and it's got Unicorn in the name! Lastly, I've also got advertising spaces left for April on ClemLoves, click here to find out more if you are interested. It's only £3 for the month. I look forward to hearing from you. 😀

Kiss The Unicorn Colour Changing Lipstick | Review

It's a brand new week and a brand new day. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I spent mine resting and taking a few photos for my blog, watching The Simpsons and The Great Celebrity Bake Off and watching YouTube videos, of course. Oh and also I've been busy playing the Disney Magic Kingdoms game, as they have just added Winnie The Pooh and friends for their latest event. I've currently got Rabbit, Tigger and Kanga. I'm determined to get all of the characters! I've also been playing a lot of Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. I hadn't been on it in so long and had a lot of catching u to do. I'm currently almost at level 40 now. I downloaded it when it first come out, but didn't really play it for so long, but I'm really loving it again now. If you've got it and want to add me, my ID number to add me with is 09810550974. I absolutely loved watching The Great Celebrity Bake Off, it made me laugh so much! Especially when Martin Kemp accidentally put his buttercream in the oven instead of the cake mixture, oops! I've always been a huge fan of Harry Hill, he really makes me laugh. I used to love it when Harry Hill's TV Burp would come on TV, remember that show?! I can't wait to watch episode 2 of it. Let me know in the comments below what you got up to at the weekend. 

Urban Decay Cream Vice Lipstick in Bang | Review

It's almost February! Which means that it's almost time for my February advertisers. I'm now booking spots for March. It's only £3 for the month and you find out more about my advertising package here. Also thank you so much to everyone who is following my brand new RT account over on Twitter. You can find it at @BloggerLS and tag or use #BloggerLoveShare to RT your posts.  

You may remember that a little while back, I wrote about this gorgeous lipstick by Urban Decay. Well, today I want to share with you another very gorgeous lipstick in the sahe Bang. I absolutely love the bright red shade of this lipstick. Isn't it just amazing. I've always been one to shy away from bright red shades of lipstick, but lately, I've been loving wearing different shades. I've always loved seeing people wear red lipstick but just didn't think that it would suit me. A while back I tried some red lipstick and I absolutely loved it.

Essence Balmy Kiss Lip Care | Review

What better way to start the week than with a brand new beauty post 😊 Today I want to share with you, a product from one of my favourite makeup brands, Essence. When I pop into my local Wilko, I find myself going straight to the makeup section. I have been a fan of Essence for quite some time. They have quite a huge range of different products and they are cruelty free too. You can find their range in your local Wiko store. I love their products because are affordable, have come in gorgeous packaging and the products are amazing. 

My Makeup Through The Years

It's only now I am 27 that I have finally found what makeup actually suits me best and I don't keep swapping and changing the products I am using. From a very young age, I have always loved makeup. I would go through my mum's makeup bag/draw and test things out for myself. The lipstick didn't end well, probably most of it going on my teeth, or not actually on my lips! But from them on, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a sparkly lipgloss or a body glitter roll on or gel that had little stars and sparkly bits in, which I think mostly ended up going on my cheeks! Remember those?! As I grew up in the 90's there were so many amazing products that I just loved so much and through to the 00's. I loved it when my friends and I did each others makeup. I couldn't wait to try out my new makeup looks at the school disco or friends birthday parties. 

Urban Decay Cream Vice Lipstick in Shame | Review

Hey there! It's Wednesday already, which means it's time for a brand new blog post. I'm still following on from my previous beauty posts and back with another today. There are just so many beauty products I am loving. Also before I forget, I quickly want to mention to you about the brand new RT account on Twitter I have created. You can find it at @BloggerLS and tag or use #BloggerLoveShare to RT your posts. I would love it if you could give it a follow, please. I've been wanting to create it for quite some time, but just didn't have the confidence to do it. Today I decided to create it and I'm so happy I did. 

If you read my post a little while back on my favourite lipsticks, you may have seen that my lipstick collection usually consists of pink and coral shades. I've never really been brave enough to try darker shades, I've always thought that as I've got quite pale skin, it would look a bit too much. When I won a giveaway recently, one of the items was this gorgeous lipstick in the photos above and below. Even though I've never tried a berry shade lipstick before, I've always wanted to. I could finally try it out and see how it looks and you know what, I absolutely love it. I loved it so much that I've even gone out and bought another shade of lipstick similar to this one! 

Botanics Hydrating Day Cream | Review

I'm so happy that we got some snow yesterday, even if it was only for a little bit. I spent most of my morning looking at it out of the windows. It looks so beautiful when it settles. I was hoping we would get a little more, but after a while it turned to rain! It was definitely nice waking up to snow though. I hope you had a lovely weekend, mine was spent mainly making a nice stew and dumplings, watching Once Upon A Time on Netflix and catching up on blog posts. 

For todays post I want to share with you this moisturiser, in the photos above and below, that I am currently using and loving. This moisturiser previously featured in my My New Year Skincare Routine post. It is the Botanics Hydrating Day Cream, which you can find at Boots. It is 81% organic and contains rosehip. It smells amazing! 

Pixi Glow Tonic | Review

I hope you are having a lovely week so far. I can't believe that it's the weekend already. Where has this week gone?! I haven't really got any plans for the weekend at the moment, but I definitely want to get some more photos taken for upcoming posts. I have however been watching the brand new episode of The Good Place, one of my new favourite shows. In a previous post, I mentioned how I had binge watched the entire season 1 and most of season 2. Now I've got to wait another week for the next episode, but it's so worth the wait. If your looking for a new show to watch, highly recommend giving it a watch. There's also a major twist in it that you definitely wont expect!

As this week has mostly consisted of beauty products on ClemLoves, I want to continue with that and share with you another of my most favourite products that I have been using and really enjoying. Other than the Mario Badescu facial spray of course, the other product I am really loving is the Glow Tonic by Pixi. It's definitely a product that I highly recommend checking out. You can find this product online on sites such as, ASOS, Cult Beauty and Marks & Spencer. You can also get this in two different sizes.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray | Review

I remember quite a few years ago I decided to try a facial spray, but after using it for so long I just didn't really use it anymore or purchase another facial spray. It's a product I usually see other bloggers and YouTubers talking about in the skincare products they use, but it's only until recently I've found a whole new love for using a facial spray when doing my daily skincare routine. If you read Monday's post, you may have seen that I have recently been using the facial spray in the photos above and below in my morning and evening skincare routine. 

Having never tried a product by Mario Budescu before, I was really excited to try it, especially after hearing lots of great things about this brand. I remember watching one of Zoella's videos quite a while back and she was using a product by Mario Budescu. This product was one of the prizes I won from Hannah, from Hannah Heartss. Thank you so much Hannah 💕. I am absolutely loving this facial spray and it's become one of my most used products.

My New Year Skincare Routine

I love it when you find new skincare products that really work and do what they say they do. I also get really excited because I love finding new products to try and that I can continue using. Growing up I just could never find products that I wanted to stick with. Some either dried my skin out so much or brought me out in spots, or made my spots worse. During the colder months, my skin does have a tendency to get quite dry. But my skin does also get quite oily still. So it's kind of hard sometimes to find products, that help dry and oily skin but are sensitive at the same time! 

I've been using these products in the photos above and below for a little while now and I am absolutely loving them. I actually won some of them in a giveaway in December, from the lovely Hannah, from hannahheartss and they are literally my new favourite skincare products to use. I've already noticed a difference with my skin. Having never tried any products by Pixi and Mario Badescu before, I was really excited to use them, as I've heard lots of good things about both brands. I love products that are hydrating but don't cause my skin to be even more oily!

Baylis & Harding Royale Bouquet | Review

You know when you get a product that has the most gorgeous packaging and you just really don't want to use it in case you spoil it! This is how I feel about the super cute products in the photos above and below. I honestly can't even begin to explain how much I adore the packaging of these. Let's not even start on the amazing scent of each product! But I'm gonna anyway, because these smell so GOOD! I'm going to carefully use each one and definitely keep the bottles! I just don't wanna part with them.

These products are by Baylis & Harding. If you have seen their products on sale, then you will most likely already know how pretty their products are. There is the Black Raspberry and Fig body wash, Verbena and Chamomile body lotion, Black Raspberry and Fig shower creme, Peach, Poppy and Vanilla bath soak crystals and the Raspberry and Fig body butter. 

Ted Baker Bathing Blooms | Review

I love it when you find a fragrance that you absolutely love and you just don't want to stop wearing it, or using a product that smells of it! This is exactly how I feel about what you can see in the photo above. You may have seen my post I wrote a while back on my favourite fragrances. They are ones that I have loved over the years and still love as much now as I did back then.

I have always wanted to own something by Ted Baker. The products always look so amazing and come in the most gorgeous packaging. One of my Christmas presents this year was this set of Ted Baker Bathing Blooms, miniature set. You have no idea how excited and happy I was when I unwrapped it. I was straight into it and smelling the products. Although I haven't had these products that long, I've been loving using them and I just really wanted to write about them. They are an amazing gift, especially if you are looking to get someone that little something extra.
