Seascape Sleep Oil Review

Seascape Sleep Oil Review

Unfortunately, I am a very light sleeper and often find it hard to get the solid 8 hours it is said we are meant to have.  I find I struggle to get to sleep initially and when I eventually do I often find myself waking up in the night.  I don't like the idea of using sleeping tablets but have often heard about sleep oils which I have been wanting to try for a while.

This sleep oil by *Seascape is held in a delicate roller ball bottle which is petite, cute and simple.  The liquid inside is a subtle golden colour and contains 100% natural oils, colours and fragrances.  The ingedients are sourced from ethical suppliers, the packaging recyclable and the company is completely against animal testing.  This makes this product appeal to me straight away.

The formula of the oil is thin and non greasy and to use you simply push the roller ball applicator onto your templates, pulse points and under your nose to help aid sleep or relaxation. This applicator is so easy to use and allows you to apply as much or little of the product as you wish.  

When using this sleep oil, the first thing that hits you is the delicate fragrance of lavender.  This scent is known to be calming and relaxing so is perfect ingredient to use in the sleep oil.  Other oils also teamed with this are from grape seed, sweet almond, bitter orange flower and mandarin orange peel which when combined deliver a gorgeously gentle, subtle and soothing fragrance.

Any lovers of lavender will enjoy using this product. I'm not too sure if it has aided me with sleeping but it certainly helps me relax and I love using it.  I also like there there are no chemical nasties in it like parabens and silicones.

You can buy Seascape Sleep Oil online for £10.00.

Soap and Glory Super Colour Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss Review

Soap and Glory Super Colour Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss Review

Regular readers of my blog will know how much I love Soap and Glory products but unfortunately today's post features one I'm not so keen on.  The Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss came in a wonderful gift set I received for Christmas last year and being a fan of lip glosses I couldn't wait to try it... I was in for a surprise! 

The colour of the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip gloss is a gorgeous raspberry pink shade named Punch Bowl which I think is stunning.  It is a shade I would definitely wear both during the day and evening and it compliments the neutral eye make-up I always wear.  For me, it is the perfect nude pink which just added to my disappointment when using the actual product.  When initially applying the gloss I loved it but after a few seconds my lips started to tingle which made me panic as I thought I was having an allergic reaction.  The sensation didn't hurt but it felt uncomfortable and wasn't pleasant so I immediately wiped off the gloss.  Unfortunately, this didn't stop the tingling until 5-10 minutes later.  Little did I know when using the gloss this was meant to happen because it's aim is to plump your lips so the tingling is completely normal. The packaging and name however, doesn't give any indication of this hence why it came as a bit of a shock! I'm also not a fan of the thick and sticky formulation of the gloss or the overpowering sweet scent.

Needless to say, despite loving the colour of this gloss, I really dislike the tingling sensation and textire so I will definitely not be using it again!

If you fancy trying this lip gloss you can buy it from Boots for £9.00. Alternatively, I am happy to sell mine for £6.00 + postage (used once). If you're interested leave a message below.

OPI Diva of Geneva Review

OPI Diva of Geneva Review

Hello Lovelies! I hope you all had a great Christmas.  Today's post will be short and sweet but features a stunning nail polish from OPI.  Diva in Geneva is a gorgeous rich shade which is a mixture of deep raspberry, purple and gold.  The result is a pretty polish that reflects in the light so looks slightly differently depending on how you look at it. I absolutely love this shade.

The formula of Diva in Geneva is what I would describe as medium because it isn't too thick or thin and with only two coats you can easily get an even coverage on your nails. The finish is a glossy polish with a pretty gold shimmer which lasts around 4-5 days when paired with a good base and top coat and looks stunning whether it be for a day or evening look.  This is one of the favourite polishes in my collection.

You can buy this gorgeous nail polish from Look Fantastic for £11.50.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is very traditional in my family so I will be spending it at home with my mum, dad, brother, nan, boyfriend and dog. We will start the morning by opening our presents all together (it is a tradition for me to hand them all out), then we will go and get our glad rags on ready for Christmas dinner later that day.  We'll spend the rest of the morning chilling, looking out our presents and helping prepare the mountains of food.

Next up will be munching our way through our yummy roast turkey dinner before finishing up with pouring a generous amount of brandy over the Christmas pudding and me lighting it.  If we remember we may watch the queens speech (most years we forget, though!).

We will spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing, chatting, laughing and maybe watching some Christmas TV before playing lots of different games in the evening, long into the night (here are some we like to play).  We will then finish up with a table filled with buffet type food thoughtfully prepared by my mum and nan.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Day and santa brings you the gifts you wished for.

Scaredoo Tangle Hair Brush Review

Scaredoo Tangle Hair Brush Review

Above: The 'Paddle' hair brush (apologies for the stray hair in this photo)

Above: 3 tier bristle system to remove tangles

Having long luscious locks to tame can be a bit of a chore at times especially after washing it because I find my hair can be full of knots and tangles. Likewise, after sleeping on my hair if I haven't tied it up and have had a restless night my hair can look a little worse for wear.  My saviour, however, has got to be either my Tangle Tweezer or Scaredoo Hair brushes.  I have spoken about the Tangle Tweezer before so won't go into more details, if you want to read about it you can read the review here, instead this post will focus purely on the Scaredoo equivalent.

The Scaredoo hairbrushes are available in 5 bold colours but my favourite is definitely the hot pink and lilac one.  It's ergonomic design means I find this brush is light weight and comfortable to hold and due to it's compact size it fits nicely in my handbag so is great to take out and about with me.

This Scaredoo brush sports a unique flip and finish 2-in-1 brush system so it is perfect for removing tangles or simply brushing my hair. To use, you simply remove the lilac section of the brush, turn it over and slot it back into place. One side of the brush (the second picture above) shows your standard bristles which works as a normal hairbrush to glide through the hair ans is suitable for styling whereas the counter side has three tiers of bristles which when put into contact with the hair aim to remove tangles. 

I love this brush and think it would be suitable for both children and adults alike. I find it removed tangles in a pain free way, is easy to use and a great addition to my hair care routing.   It's a little late, being Christmas Eve but it would be the perfect stocking filler. You can buy the Pretty Pink Scaredoo Hairbrush from their website for £10.99.

Crush Revlon Kissable Balm Stain Review

Crush Revlon Kissable Balm Stain Review

Autumn and Winter is all about berry shades for lips and one of my 'go to' products has got to be the Crush Kissable Lip Stain by Revlon.  This isn't the first time Crush has featured on my blog as it has been in my monthly favourites and Berry toned lip products posts but I thought it was about time it had it's own post.

The packaging of the Revlon Kissable Lip Stains are sleek and look great in your make-up bag.  They mimic the Clinique Chubby Sticks and now a number of other similar products with this type of packaging have also made their way onto the market such as the MUA lip colours proving how popular this lip product and packaging is to consumers.  The Revlon range in particular includes a large colour range so there should be something for everyone.

Crush is a gorgeous deep berry tone which looks beautiful when teamed with a simple neutral eye.  I find Crush is  a cross between a lipstick and balm rather than a stain.  The texture is glossy and smooth meaning it is semi-transparent when it is first applied but it is buildable so you can have a simple wash of colour over your lips or a deeper berry shade.  This means it is perfect for people who may be a little scared of using darker or brighter shades because you have more control over the amount of colour you use than you would from a lipstick or stain. 

The formulation of Crush hydrating on the lips and comfortable to wear as it isn't drying so it is perfect to wear in the Winter months when your lips don't always feel quite as smooth and moisturised as normal.  The finish is glossy on the lips initially but as you wear it this disappears and you are left with a more matte looking stain on your lips.  The stain stays on my lips for a few hours but it isn't the type of colour I can leave to it's own devices.  I find it can go a little patchy, especially if I have built up the colour so I have to run my finger across it every now and then in order to smooth it out again.

You can by the Revlon Kissable Balm Stains at Superdrug for £7.99
