Liz Earle Skincare


Liz Earle is a brand which you all will of heard of for their amazing hot cloth cleanser which is such a cult product among bloggers and I have to admit I also LOVE it. Therefore, when I saw a deal on Instagram to get a set of Liz Earle products for only £45 I just had to check it out.

My parcel arrived the other day and I am beyond excited to start trying them out. The package includes;

  • Cleanse & Polish - Hot Cloth Cleaner
  • Instant Boost Skin Tonis
  • Skin Repair Moisturiser
  • Superskin Body Skin
  • 2 Muslin Cloths
  • Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion (which was free!!!)


What I plan to do is to test of all these products at once and try work out if using all of them together really benefits my skin and if they are worth their price. I plan to check in every week or so and report back on the changes I notice, whether positive or negative. I will do a final post on here- which may be in a few months time- but I am also going to be posting a video on my Youtube channel (subscribe here so you don't miss it) which will show how I use the products and give better insight into how my skin takes to them.

Let me know if you have tried any of Liz Earle products and what you thought of them. Or if you have any tips which I need to know to get the best out of these new additions.

October's Glossybox


A new month means a new Glossybox appeared through my door which also means a new post on here. This month's box includes a mystery item and something which I've been wanting to try since it came out. The box was created in partnership with Estee Lalonde who is a Youtube and blogger who I already follow so I knew this would be a good one. 

The products were;

Trifle Cosmetics - Lip Parfait Buttery Lip Cream - RRP £12.95
The Body Shop - Drops of Youth Concentrate - RRP £25 for full size (this is the item I have been wanting to try since it came out)
Universal Beauty Cosmetics - Secret Flush, Soothing Cream Blusher & Lip Stain Duo - RRP £15
Bee Good - Honey & Camelina Facial Exfoliator - RRP £10.50
PS...Pro - Graphic Eyeliner - £3
Mystery Shampoo - Estee has since announced what this product is but, since she had kept it secret so that we could try it without pre-judgement, I want to do that so I've stopped myself from clinking the link and still don't know what it is!

Anyone else got their Glossybox this month? What's your favourite item?

4 Nights in Barcelona

Last weekend I got back from 4 nights in Barcelona. I had been before for one day so was very excited to get away and explore even more and my word, there's a lot to explore! We spent most of the time getting lost as it's impossible to keep up with all the little lanes and alleys but it is the best city to get lost in. I've never seen such beautiful buildings and around every turn we ended up gasping at another beautiful sight.

With numerous trips to the beach, ice-cream shops, churros shop and cathedrals I have to say the best thing to do, and what I would recommend to anyone who is planning a trip, is to go on a bus tour. We did 2 in one day, straight after each other, as we literally just couldn't get enough. The buses go around all the major attractions as well as through more 'authentic' Barcelona streets. 

There are not enough words for me to express just how much I enjoyed the brief trip so hopefully these pictures will help show why.

October Birchbox



The time has come again when I've received this months Birchbox and thought I would share what I got. If you would like to see what I got last month to compare them then I did a video on my YouTube channel which you can find here.

But enough of last month...let's see what I got this month!

  • LOC Shadow Stick in 'Haute Cocoa'
  • Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Gel
  • Doux Me Pure Spring Mist
  • Which Renewing Mud Mask
  • Number 4 Fluoro5 Elixir Restore & Repair Oil
  • Birch box Eyebrow Brush





On first impressions I am most excited about the LOC shadow stick and least excited about the eyebrow brush which doesn't seem amazing quality but is something which I often need and never have so happy to add that to my dresser. I also think this is the most beautiful birchbox box which I've received and I'm currently trying to think of a use for it so I can have it on my desk as I love it that much...just look at it!!

Zoella's Reed Diffuser - Lazy Days


I was just as excited as everyone else when Zoe Sugg brought out her lifestyle range and gave a sigh of "finally!!" as it was a direction I was certainly hoping she would go in. Literally everything in the range is just beautiful and you can really see how much work she has put into every single item.

I was recently in Boot's looking for some present ideas for my sister when I came across a small selection of Zoella Lifestyle products. Now when I say small, there was a good few shelfs dedicated to the range but they were so empty! All that was left was a backpack, one candle and a choice of 2 reed diffusers. The one candle that was there was the 'seaside' one and although it did smell good it wasn't what I was looking for in my bedroom. So my attention then went to the reed diffusers. In all honestly, I never found out what the second one was as as soon as I read the description of 'Lazy Days' I knew it had to be mine.

'Fill your room with essence of calm. With notes of fresh linen and cotton, it's the perfect scent for a lazy day'


Considering my favourite Yankee Candle is Fresh Cotton (which I have in my car) this diffuser seemed right up my street and my word it is. This is spot on. It's such a subtle but fresh and comforting scent that I'm so glad I got the diffuser rather than candle so my room will always smell like this. On the box it says to give it a couple of days for the reeds to diffuse but trust me, you smell this after about 10 minutes.

Everything from the box, to the bottle, to the name and description, to the scent...perfection. This definitely makes me want to see what the other items in the range are like and everyone in my life can expect something from in for Christmas!
