Good morning Little Ones! Here is another product review, I've already filmed a video on this product, if you want to watch that as well, then click here! If you don't fancy that, then you might as well stay here. I've received a tone of requests to write a review on this baby, so that's what I'm doing. Sit back, relax and get on to reading!

THE PACKAGING:

YSL nail it again ... This will always be mentioned, as I've still yet to come across something that doesn't appear marvellous. Why not start with the uni-carton? Iconic golden goddess, how can you not resist? It simmers, and almost gravitates you to hold the product ... I'm a packaging addict so this is a problem to me; anyone else feel the same?
Now onto the foundation packaging! This foundation is coated in an eloquent matte glass bottle, something I've never seen from YSL before, they usually come packaged in a shiny glass component, but that;s something I love about this brand; they always switch it up and keep you on your toes. On the other hand, they've kept it simple, adding the harsh noir line makes it the centre point; and it's smart that they've integrated the line and placed the name of the foundation; this clearly differentiates each foundation that YSL produce. 

In relation to the cap, I wish it was metal, instead it's plastic ... It doesn't match the matte glass, it's almost out of place. They've created such an opulent component, and finished it with a plastic lid; it doesn't ruin it completely; but they could've kept the metal lid aspect. But if that's the only flaw I can find; it's not the end of the world.

THE PRODUCT: 

Firstly, my shade is BR10, COOL PORCELAIN, this is the lightest shade they offer ... Yes I know I'm rather pale, (not a shock). With me, finding a shade that actually matches my skin is a nightmare! But this YSL All Hours Foundation is PERFECT! The match is incredible, this foundation does oxidise so be careful and make sure you get colour-matched. 

When you initially pump this foundation to the back of your hand, it pours out like liquid velvet ... Sounds odd, but if you purchase this product, you'll know exactly what I mean. The formula isn't so watery that it runs down your hand, but it's not so thick that it feels uncomfortable, it's literally the perfect consistency. Thus, when applying it blends out like a dream, I had no issue covering my entire face, and if I needed to layer, it wouldn't cake up or go patchy. 

Something that I should mention is that this is a matte finish, so it's not meant for dry skin, but seeing that I'd fallen in love at the counter, I purchased a hydrating primer which coincided with this foundation. I have very dry skin, to the point where it flakes, (beautiful right?), without this primer, this foundation does settle into my dry patches and enhances them ... Not the best look, BUT if I use the primer I don't have this issue. 

In relation to longevity, it lasts up to 9 hours, this is without me powdering! But if I was to add powder throughout the day, I could say that this would last 12 hours; it won't be the most flawless foundation day ever, but it's still on the skin. 

On the other hand, something else that I should mention, is that this product doesn't have a scent, which I love! Additionally, it doesn't make me break out, or irritate my skin ... I would know as I suffer with eczema. All in all, this foundation is wonderful, the finish is stunning and it lasts such a long time. Remember if you do suffer with dry skin, just remember to exfoliate and moisturise your face to the max! It does work, but you have to go the extra mile; it's worth it I promise! 

THE PRICE: 

When I purchased this bad boy, I was lucky enough to have 20% off the original price, as my local John Lewis was conducting a sale! But normally this would cost, £33.50, which is a pricey foundation, it's the most expensive one I own to date. But who am I to say something is too expensive? Would I repurchase this product at the full price? Yes I would, because it works for me, and it's worth my money, if you feel different to that, then that's your opinion. 

The features of this foundation make it worth the high price point, the formula is extremely long wearing, the finish is beautiful, and it even works with my exceedingly dry skin! 

If you are curious to purchase this product, I'll leave a link below for you!

Good evening Little Ones! I have a new review/first impressions blog post today! The skincare company Yesto kindly sent me a few products! Before you jump to conclusions, I haven’t been paid, I reached out to them, and I honestly didn’t expect them to get back to me … But here I am writing a review! If you love Yesto products then you will adore this review! If you don’t fancy reading then click here for my YouTube video! Sit back and relax and enjoy yourself. 

THE PACKAGING:
First things first … How adorable is the packaging! When I first discovered Yesto their packaging is what captured my attention … They’ve still maintained their innovation, (in my opinion). I find it sleek, professional, and down right creative! Yesto, you really nailed the packaging game. I find the paper sachet: compact, durable and mess free, once your done you can throw it away; without having to worry about the mess. Something that I didn’t take a picture of was what came inside! But I did take note of this in my video! Within this little wonder you get: the charcoal mixture, a spatula and a paper bowl. Which some people may think is a waste of time. I think it’s genius! You don’t have to ruin your home-ware, you have it all in this package! Again, no other skincare brand does this; (not that I’m aware of anyway). On the other hand, in terms of the spatula it comes in handy. At first, I thought it was a waste of time, but it really helps when applying the face-mask, and it gets into hard to reach areas, for instance, the side of the nose.Something else that I find helpful, is that this product comes in two sizes, the one in this blog post, (travel size); and in a larger pot, for when you want to treat yourself to a home treatment once in a while. The fact that Yesto have thought about all their customers’ needs and expectations is why I am loyal to them, and why I continue to purchase their products. 

THE PRODUCT: 

Now to the main event, this is why you are all here! The product, does it work? From my experience yes! Now let me tell you how! First and foremost, the fact that you have to make this, makes me enjoy the experience even more, as it’s something I’ve created, all you have to do is add water, and any personal ingredients you want, and BOOM you have your very own face mask. That alone for me, is a very enjoyable experience.
Fundamentally, when you apply this to the face, it glides on like butter, and it doesn’t slide off your face! Which is amazing, as I don’t have to worry about the mess afterwards. It doesn’t burn the undereye area, and doesn’t irritate your skin. I left this on for a whole 20 minutes, and it was a pleasant experience. Of course, it’s going to tighten, but that’s expected with a face treatment. BUT the after effects is what won me over! When I took this off, (which is super easy), my skin felt so damn smooth! My skin was glowing … Yes glowing! None of my other facemasks did this! And they are more than double the price! I can’t even explain how amazing my skin felt, I wish you could’ve touched it! But based off of how beautiful the overall outcome was, I would highly recommend this wonder of a product! 

THE PRICE: 

I think you might faint when I tell you how much this retails for … £2.99. Let me give you a moment to catch your breath. That’s for the travel size, but if you want to larger container, that comes to the grand total of, £11.99, but is currently on deal at Boots for £7.99. Even so, £11.99 … That’s tremendous, and it’ll last such a long time! A little goes a long way with this product. Again, I can’t tell you what to buy and what not to buy, but if I had to recommend something, this would be the ideal product! I rate this over my Origins Gin Zing face mask … And I thought that was my holygrail until I found this. Price isn’t always everything Little Ones.

If you are interested in purchasing this product then please do click the links below! I’ve already put the two sizes there for you.

Tangle Teezer Product Review

Tangle Teezer Thick&Curly product review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Tangle Teezer, I have been a fan of their products for years, I brought this today and needed to write a review on this.

Good afternoon Little ones! What have you been doing today? I've been helping my boyfriend pack for France, as well as saying goodbye to my family. It's been a long but exciting day for me, I go abroad for the first time in my life tomorrow! And yes, of course I will be taking you along with me! I can't leave you lot out!
Any how, I have a review for you today! I went to get my hair cut (she cut WAY TOO much off), but while I was in there I brought a new hair brush, my hair is so thick my elite tangle teezer wasn't doing the job. If you want to know more about this particular product have a little read down below, hope you enjoy :).

If you want to read another review, click here!

PACKAGING: 

Professional and beautiful. This compact hairbrush reminds me of delightful berries, bursting with optimism and elegance. When I saw this brush I was taken back by the beauty and colour, it's absolutely breathtaking; it makes me feel content; simply because I own something so vibrant; it will light up the entire room. Just like other Tangle Teezer products, this thick&curly brush ticks all the boxes in their criteria; colour being one of them, unique bristle and shape of the brush. For example, when I look at this brush, without even taking a glance at the brand I know that it's from Tangle Teezer, they are the only brand that produces hair brushes in this fashion. In regards to the shape of the brush, it makes it easy to hold and brush your hair; especially when you have really thick hair like me! I can't tell you how many times I would drop my hair brush due to my hair being too thick with the elite version. The thick&curly edition have thicker rods in the brush, as well as having more of them all together. This is because people with thicker hair need something stronger, than just the average Joe. 

THE PRODUCT:

Fantastic! I have no faults with this product at all! I have brought 3 Tangle Teezers and all have worked perfectly fine, apart from the fact that the Elite would fall out of my hands; due to my hair being so thick. Tangle Teezer products have always met my needs and expectations. They look fantastic, they are always so innovative, they follow their own rules and don't copy any other company in the market. In addition to this, I find that these products are very long lasting! For example, I've had 3 within 2-3 years; but that's not because they weren't working, it was because I wanted to buy their new range of colours and patterns. On the other hand, this is the ONLY hair brush that I have used, and it's not damaged, pulled or hurt my head when using it. You know those days where you get knots from hell? This demolishes them within seconds, and does not hurt! And believe me, I hate it when I have to spend hours on my hair, and most of that was down to a crappy hair brush. In terms of washing this brush, you can simply take a baby-wipe and clean the edges, as well as this, taking hair out of this sucker is easy as pie! It comes away with one pull, don't believe me? Try it and you will be amazed! 

PRICE:

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, this product retails for £10.60. Some people may think that this is "too expensive", but how much do you normally spend on a hair brush? £3-4? But how long does that last you? And how much is that actually benefiting your hair? If you keep repurchasing cheap hairbrushes, which aren't doing you any good, you are actually spending more money for a product that isn't worth it. Whereas if you pay for this brush then and there, it will last you AT LEAST one year, at most 3 YEARS! 3 years for one brush, that's amazing don't you think? Within that time frame you will probably buy at least 10 cheap brushes, which end up not being so cheap as you keep buying into them. 

Overall, this is a product worth buying, it's high quality, lasts a long time, and it comes in such a beautiful berry colour.

This is the end of my blog post! Thank you so much for reading! I'm very sorry that this took such a while to post, this was meant to be up this afternoon!

If you already have this product, or you are considering purchasing one, don't be afraid to start a conversation with me; I will happily respond and answer your questions :).

I love you all so very much, and I will see you tomorrow with an advice blog post, and a little adventure one, (if I have time).

Any who! I love reading and watching these type of blog posts/YouTube videos, simply because if the product is empty they really enjoyed that particular product, and you can also gather a full review of what that product can do, 

If you enjoy these types of blog posts, or just want to gather some knowledge about some products have a little read down below :).

 Toni&Guy Shampoo and Conditioner for dry hair:

Packaging-Stunning, professional and innovative. The white makes you feel fresh as well as clean, it gives you a good first impression simply because you want your hair to replicate what the packaging is intending to do; in this case: fresh and clean. On the other hand, the wash of baby blue is enlightening at the bottom of the bottle. It merges well with the white and adheres to the fresh feeling, as blue is commonly associated with the sea; which people claim for it to be clam and relaxing, as well as refreshing and awakening. 

In regards to the innovative aspect, at the top of the bottle you push a button and a gab for the product sprigs up. At first I had no idea to open it, until I noticed the open button; but I didn't know the hair care industry used this technique.

The product- Fantastic. When you squirt this onto your hand it feels smooth and velvety, it makes you excited to apply it to the hair; as you want it to have the same affect on your hair.It has an elastic and creamy texture. When you apply it to wet hair it absorbs so well! 

The smell is enchanting! It's so beautiful and natural, it doesn't smell fake like some cheaper brands. It reminds me of perfume but for your hair. The aftermath of washing your hair is fantastic, it feels like lightweight and fluffy; as well as nourished. I've dyed my hair for a few years now, I have the stable ombre look; evidently the ends of my hair will appear dry and damaged from time to time as I've bleached it. After using this shampoo and conditioner it immediately diminishes this look. 

Toni&Guy Reboost Dry Shampoo:

Packaging- Elegant and vibrant. When I first came into contact with this product, it was the positive packaging that caught my eye. Purple is one of my favourite colours, it makes me feel rich and beautiful. As well as this, the gold funky writing complimented the purple, as well as giving it the wow factor; Toni&Guy have always presented their products in a beautiful matter; they are always consistent with what they do; for example,before I come into contact with their brand I know that it's their product due to the: font, colours and the way they have made their product. As well as this, I love that Toni&Guy represent their collections in different colours. For example, the dry shampoo is in the Reboost collection, thsus the Reboost phase on the side of the can. 

The product- It smells fantastic! It smells like perfume but for your hair, it matches the smell of the shampoo and conditioner above. Which I love, simply because it doubles the smell and makes it appear clearer as well as voluminous. In regards to my hair type it's thick, which means that the top of my hair is flat because the rest of my hair is weighing it down; this adds volume like you wouldn't believe, it makes me feel more confident n myself, simply because I take a lot of care and effort into my hair. On the other hand, if it's really hot weather and your hair appears greasy it takes away the excess oil! 

The Body Shop British Rose shower gel:

Packaging- Sophisticated and graceful, the rose is a classical symbolism of upper class and beauty, it's super natural and in my opinion the queen of flowers; may seem bias because they are my favourite flower.The pink bottle matches perfectly with the rose situated in the middle, I love that it's a pale version, this not only makes it simplistic but also not too harsh. For example, if The Body Shop were to use a darker pink, it wouldn't have matched, it would have appeared to harsh and would have taken the delicate element away. In contrast this, I like the fact that they put a black strip around the center, this enhanced the beauty of the rose, and also matched the font on the bottle as well as the cap. I love when companies are consistent throughout their packaging; maybe because I have OCD, but it just makes me want to spend my money as it looks presentable; I'm such a sucker for packaging-if it looks pretty I'll buy it. 

The product- Smells enchanting! It's just like you've put hundreds of roses of your body, it doesn't smell fake, it smells exactly like a rose; and that's 100% true! I have read so many blog posts that claim this and that, but this is the real deal here; if you don't believe me head into The Body Shop and smell is yourself; I can guarantee that you will love it, (if you like roses anyway); if not there are many other shower gels they do. In regards to consistency this is thicker than their stable shower gels. This feels more like gel than a watery consistency; which I love, it makes it fun when you are applying it as you can imprint your thumb in the soap before you use. Also it thickens when you mix it with water; it actually moisturises your skin when you wash; you feel super refreshed and ready to start the day. The scent is also long lasting on the body, it lasts me around 6 hours, even if I've been out in the sun for a long period of time. 

This is the end of the blog post, thank you so much for reading, sorry that there wasn't many products, the idea only came to mind when my shower gel ran out; which meant that I had to hold this until other products were finished with. 

I will do another one in the future but with more products! As of now I ma still at my EE training, I've had to finish this blog post throughout the day and now on my lunch break. 

I want to thank you guys for reading this again! I will see you again tonight with a vegan recipe :) 

Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

Good afternoon! I was meant to write this blog post yesterday, but I was overly busy with the amount of training. The night before I had no sleep so I was extremely tired when I came home. Besides everyone needs a day off once in a while :).
Next week I'm going to create a banner for when and what I'm posting throughout the week!
What have you lovely people been up to today? I've been training, wish I was enjoying the weather; but I'm home now; sitting in the garden with peach ice tea writing this :).
If you are interested in hearing what my first day at training was like have a little read down below and enjoy! :D

If you want to read another Little adventure, click here!

How was my first day?

BRILLIANT! I loved every single moment! I got to meet 14 lovely people; I love how EE hire the right people; everyone is different in their own way, it's amazing to see people from all over the UK in one room mixing together and sharing their personal experiences in their life. Evidently we are all in the same boat and it's extremely daunting at the beginning; just like everything new is! I would say that I'm still trying to unfold as I feel it will take a few days; but after that I will be completely comfortable. 

In addition to this, my trainer is fantastic, he's super funny and made everyone feel welcome! I love how he made everyone introduce themselves. He put us into pairs and told us to get to know our pair, when the time was up we had to introduce the person we had learnt about. For example, I met a lovely girl Nicole, I learnt interesting facts about her, I then gave feedback to the rest of my group, vice versa. On the other hand, in regards to activities we went over about the company as a whole, researched what they offered, the EE way, the policies, how to talk to customers etc.

In contrast to this, I want to tell you my first impression from when I entered the building. From the outside it looked futuristic, the glass building gave me the impression that important people worked there; as well as opulence. When I stepped foot in the building I was amazed, it looked so professional and clean; the crystal marble flooring added importance and interlinked with the whit and grey theme at the reception point. The staff were really lovely and catered to our needs; for example, when I needed to know where the canteen was they showed me instead of telling me where to go. On the other hand, when I came face to face with the training room it looked stunning! The entrance was fantastic! As you can see from the picture above it was bright and colourful, and also met the EE theme of aqua, yellow and grey. This told me that they cared about how their training room was presented, whereas other business don't really mind what they look like. 

All in all, my first day training there was perfect, they made the significant information easy to understand and remember. They even gave us notebooks to keep which I love! They are compact, which makes it easy to carry around; it's just a nice incentive when you start your training; as a stationary lover this really made a good impression.

How did I get there?

Fundamentally, I don't actually live far away from this facility, but EE still paid for my travel and hotel; which was perfect because I was able to take a break from home and enjoy myself. It's only for 4 days so it's not like it's months or anything stupid. Everything is paid for, even my breakfast and dinner! Very kind of them! From the training building to the hotel they even provide us with prepaid taxi's, we don't have to worry about walking or arriving late; it's all done for you. 

How do I feel so far?

Positive and dying to know more! I want to know the inside and outs of new products, I understand that this takes time but I want to be the best I can possibly be. The training is a great insight to what my job is going to entail and how I can improve my skills over a course of months to represent EE in a great way; they are a great company and I want to do what's right for them. They have given me the confidence to do well and succeed in my role. I am excited for what the rest of the week entails, I love getting involved, I just want to head to my store and help customers :). I also want to make some new friends when this ends, some people say that they will get into contact but they never do. It's my goal to walk out with at least one new friend :).

This is the end of the blog post! Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed, I just wanted to bring you a little bit closer to my personal life and what I will be doing until Friday! I will keep you up to date with what I'm doing throughout the day on Twitter; if that's something you want to see then give me a follow and I will follow you right back :).

I love you all so very much and I will see  you tomorrow with a vegan recipe! 

Like always lovely's! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :D  x x x

Knock Knock Pen-to-Paper Mousepad:

Hello and welcome to my blog again? How have you been keeping? If you are new then hello! I hope  you enjoy this positive blog post and stay for further ones! Anyhow, I'm here today with another stationary review! I find that it's getting near for starting School in September, and it's the same with university. Why not stay organised?
I received this package from KnockKnock yesterday, as they wanted to thank me for the review I wrote about them previously. I am writing this review like I would any other :). I thank them so much for being so generous, but it goes to show how much of a wonderful company they are :).
If you are a fan of Knock Knock products, or if  you don't know much about them have a little look below! I hope you enjoy :)

If you want to see another Knock Knock review, click here!

PACKAGING:

Fundamentally, lets start with Let's Do This. This pen-to-paper mousepad is gorgeous! The bright coral in contrast to the orange gives me summer vibes! I feel like I should be making a tropical cocktail while writing my notes down. Knock Knock never fail on making me feel content and happy with my purchase. I can look at this pad and think it’s well organised, due to the array of columns, and humorous subtitles, for example, “do or die”. I find this funny, as everyone that’s stressing out have always felt like they were “dying”-this is obviously dramatic; as they are in a stressful atmosphere. I love that Knock Knock have made this funny; as while you are stressing out, you can laugh about, an ounce of your worries will disappear as Knock Knock are here to help you; they don’t want to pressure you which is why they made this pad laughable. This will make you want to complete your work, as well as succeed as it’s relatable with the common slag, “gotta do”. It’s like this pad is your friend, and they are telling you how you should organise your work. This is something Knock Knock always does in their products, they aim to, “bring humor, creativity and smarts to everyday life”. They have not only met that expectation but crushed it!  In regards to My Awesome Week, there is a similar layout, for example, a multitude of columns have been provided so you can segregate which task you need to do first, as well as the shape of the product, and the same section where you can place your pen. I am so glad that Knock Knock have taken their mousepads to a whole new level! This pen section is beyond handy! You will never lose it, once you are done writing what you need to write; you can simply place it back in the pen section. And when you need to make any amendments, for example, completing a task, you can take the pen and tick it off with ease. I can’t tell you how many times I have lost my pens … It’s the bane of my life but I don’t have to worry now, as Knock Knock have again thought outside of the box and saved us. On the other hand, the colour scheme of this pad is enchanting, I prefer this one just because blue is such a relaxing colour; it reminds me walking on the beach with the beautiful blue sea in the distance. It’s also something different, most of the pads I have are orange, this will be a nice addition to the family, that way I can colour-coordinate what subjects go where.

THE PRODUCT:

Profoundly, the products themselves are faultless, Knock Knock picked up on my last issue, which was that they should offer an array of colours, they have done that! There are two colours to choose from, could there be more? Yes of course there could. If I was to give any suggestions is that they should keep doing what they are doing with this new pad launch. But add new colours, for example, have a lime green pad and use funny sick references as their subtitles. In regards to the paper, they keep it the exact same as the other mousepads, they are super soft. Which is flawless when you are trying to drag your mouse around the pad. I remember a long time ago, before I came into contact with Knock Knock, I bought a cheap mousepad, I wanted something that I could place beside me while using my computer … The paper was such rubbish quality that it made me cringe every time I went to drag my mouse across the pad.
In regards to the spaces provided in the pad there are more of them, and they are a little bit wider! I never had an issue with the sizing of the pad, but this is so much better! It’s handy if you have big writing, or want to put your own subtitles in; there is room to do that. I am saving these pads of joy when I start University in September, they will be by my computer, I will segregate them to what topic I want to study in my marketing course and swap them over when need be. 

PRICE:

The pricing on these pads are the same, they are sold separately for £12, I know it may seem a bit too expensive for some of you; but it's completely worth the money. There are so many updated features which are mentioned above; my favourite one being the pen section. These will last such a long time, at least 6 months to a year, depending if you use them once a week or not. The paper is such high quality; which you will need if  you want a mouse to follow your directions. Knock Knock are a great company and have never let me down once! They are extremely innovative, they don't copy other companies, they are their own trademark;when I look in a stationary store I can segregate Knock Knock from everything else; due to their iconic font and colours.

DISCLAIMER: I am not being paid by Neal's Yard to write this review, I have been a dedicated customer and fan of their products for some time; this is just my opinion. 

Good afternoon! How are you all and what have you been up to today? Have you seen my blog giveaway? If not then click here!

I thought that it would be great to do another Neal's Yard product review, simply because I am a massive fan of their products; and I want to recommend something worth while to you guys :).

If you want to know detailed information about this product, and what I think about it; have a little read down below :).

PRESENTATION:

In regards to the presentation, Neal's Yard never fail, a beautiful glass bottle is perfect, it makes me feel that my money has been spent well; in comparison to a cheap plastic container. It also makes me feel that this company cares about the fine details, the glass container being one of them; Neal's Yard make sure that their customers are always satisfied; throughout their store, online and products. In addition to this, they have kept their blue theme, this ensures me that this is a Neal's Yard product their royal blue band is worn load and proud by the coconut oil. They have also kept their splash of white shade within their packaging as well, this interlinks with their pasty fresh coconut oil; it makes it feel fresher. And it also tells me that Neal;s Yard want to make sure that they are being consistent throughout. Which in a customers perspective is fantastic, I adore the fact that they pay attention to these details; other companies wouldn't put this much time and effort into this. 

On the other hand, the glass jar makes it convenient, as it's easy to put anywhere, as well as this factor, the screw lid jar ensures that no coconut oil is escaping! It's air tight and completely secure; which is fantastic because I'm such a clumsy person. 

VERSATILE:

• Can be used in food:Coconut is a perfect substance for butter, I have tried coconut oil out to make pastries and it has worked! I have yet to put that recipe on the blog :). It's super healthy and delicious. Coconut oil is enriched with lauric acid, this builds the immune system by fighting bacteria, and creating a hostile environment for viruses.
• Hair treatment:
  Coconut oil is an extremely rich substance, the natural oils within the product help repair damaged hair, and strengthens new hair; so that won't become damaged. This has saved my hair, I used to pick and pull my hair because I was so nervous (Trichotillomania); I'm so thankful and lucky that I came across this product. I have tried other coconut oil, but it only makes my hair feel greasy and not nourished like this one. 
• Nail treatment:
  If you bite your nails, have weak of frail nails use this product! The same oils that repair my hair repair you nails as well! It's amazing! It makes them grow so much faster, and they look stronger and healthier! I used to bite my nails for years; but stopped because of braces; but they were still so weak and frail from the years of neglect; since using this holy grail product; they have never looked better :).
• Make-up remover:
  When I first bought this, I wanted to see if it would act well as a make-up remover, and by hell it did! Oils remove make-up like a dream, and this sure did! I had heavy full face make-up on at one point, I simply applied this to my face and rubbed it for 3 minutes; I then washed it away with water and it was gone! It even removed the eyeliner from my eyelashes! 

ABOUT PRODUCT:

Profoundly, excluding the multitude of health benefits when you use this in food, it's an outstanding beauty product.For example, the organic virgin coconut oil is a raw and natural source from the environment; because it's been processed without heat, it's been able to hold a mass amount of nutrients. Theses nutrients are what repair hair and nails. For example, when using this for hair, you apply it before you shampoo; this goes deep within the several layers of hair; it brings your damaged hair back to life.  

PRICE:

When I tell you the price, you will be just as shocked as me, (IN A GOOD WAY); it's only ... £9.00. Oh my gosh, £9.00 for 300 grams! It's a mass amount of product,  I have had this for 1 month and I have barely made a dent! I use this everyday for my lips, nails and for taking off my make up! Which by the way is fantastic! Coconut oil is the perfect make up remover; as stated above! 

I would say this would last maybe 6 months to a year! £9.00 in this time frame is fantastic! You are buying into a fantastic brand, they don't test against animals, and their products are all organic and natural; what else do you need? :D 

If you are interested in buying this product, click the link below, it's completely worth it:

Thank you so much for reading this post, I hope you enjoyed it, I sure as hell loved writing it! I have been wanting to write about this or so long, but I wanted to test it out for a while so that I could be 100% truthful in what I was saying. For example, I wouldn't want to say it does this and that without trying it out myself. 

I love you all so very much and I wish you a very good evening! Tell me what you get up to on my social media below!

Like always, stay tuned and stay safe Little ones :) x x x

Neal's Yard Product Review

Nourishing Orange Flower Toner

Disclaimer: I have not been paid my Neal's Yard to do this review, I have done a previous review of their product, I'm just a fan of their brand.

Good afternoon beautiful people! I am in the back-garden, catching the sun rays! Hopefully I tan in time for France! I decided that I would finally write a review on the Neal's Yard Orange Flower Toner; this goes with the Nourishing intense night cream. If you want to see my review on the night cream click here.

I'm in love with this product, and it works beautifully with it's sister, (the cream). If you want to know further details about this product and my thoughts have a look down below :).   

if you want to read another review, click here!

PRESENTATION:

Breathtaking and enchaining. I am taken away with their iconic rich royal blue bottle. They are so opulent, because it's glass it makes it feel expensive and worth the money. It also shows that Neal's Yard cares about their containers and the way they present their products. For example, they could have easily put this product in a blue plastic bottle, but they didn't, as it would have appeared tacky, and wouldn't have linked to their brand in any way shape or form.
When you place this item in your hand you feel important and upper class; to obtain this product makes me feel content and pleased with my purchase, as I know that I have spent my well earned money well.
On the other hand, I love how Neal's Yard is so recognisable, for example, if people don't really know this brand they will be able to depreciate between this brand and another, and realise that this is outstanding; simply because their iconic blue bottles stand out of the crowd. When you look at this packaging you know it's Neal's Yard.
When Neal's Yard was developing into a well known brand they evidently put some hard thought and effort into what colours went well together. For example, they interject cream and black throughout their entire range, whether this is: hair-care, makeup, skincare etc. They are always consistent,
This gives me a positive impression that that they care about what their packaging looks like, they want it to look professional and beautiful; taking this much time and effort into your products and company, informs me that you care about what your customers are buying; thus the enchanting presentation. 

On the other hand, I feel that Neal's Yard logo is the meaning on love, nature and togetherness. The message behind this is, they use all natural and organic ingredients to create balls of happiness, and they do that without harming nature, or animals. In regards to the font, it's clear, which makes it easy for EVERYONE in the market to read, if you have poor eyesight you will still be able to understand what's being presented in front of you. Which makes me love this company even more; they have taken into consideration the eyesight of others; this is a caring and charming company; and their products are holy grail.

PRODUCT:

This is a facial toner, you use it after you have taken off your make-up, of before putting on your make-up/moisturiser. I have tried so MANY toners and they are mediocre; they do the job. They make my face feel fresh, but since using this toner it has made such a difference in my skin! It actually tightens my skin! I'm not worried about wrinkles or anything, I'm 19! But it not only refreshes my skin, it makes it additionally plump, silky smooth and tight! ALSO! Can I just talk about the scent! Holy mother of Jesus! This smells gorgeous! So much nostalgia is created when I swipe this across my face, it smells like fresh oranges used at Christmas time; it takes me back to the time where me and my mum would sit there eating oranges as fast as we could. Or much recently, sending me to the shops to buy her oranges as she's eaten them all :).

The scent isn't overpowering, and it doesn't effect my skin in the slightest, and I have very dry and sensitive skin. On the other hand, the ingredient neroli, (a type of flower oil essence), creates a comforting and subtle smell; which complements the orange even more. Also because of this flower oil it helps hydrate the skin, so the toner doesn't suck every inch of moisture out of you skin; this is what also makes it perfect for dry skin; this is made for dry skin. 

HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT:
I use this before I put on my make-up and when my make up is off my face.

1. Make sure you have a clean face, use your desired facial wash;
2. take a cotton pad, put the toner onto the pad and wipe around your face, make sure you take it down the neck;
3. pad dry and wait for a few minutes, you want to make sure that the product goes into the skin before you apply moisturiser;
4. put your favourite moisturiser on you skin gently.

PRICE:

This product retails for £16, you get a total of 200ml, you get so much product inside of this bottle! As shown in the pictures above I have rarely touched it! This is not the case, I have used this product everyday, twice a day for 3+ weeks! That's insane! A little does really go a long way, you don't need a lot of this product, otherwise it's waste; you can only use so much toner on your face :').

I feel that this is the perfect for yourself, or even a gift, it's very affordable and a great value for money.
