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.



Sadly, this is the end of my blog post, but I will see you again in another one soon! I love you all so much! Remember to stay safe and stay tuned! x x x

Estee Lauder Lipstick Review

Estee Lauder 120&370 Lipstick Review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Estee, I have only recently purchased some of their lipsticks, I have tried their make-up before, but I fell in love with their lipsticks. Everything I'll be writing is 100% true, it's just my opinion.

Hello and Good Morning! I'm back again! It's lovely to get into the flow of things! I've enjoyed my Christmas break, but I've missed sitting down and writing: reviews, recipes and advice blog posts! It's a chilly morning today, I have the heating on full blast; and rocking out my bunny slippers ... So cosy it's unreal! Any how, as you know Christmas has flown away, very upsetting, but with that I've been treating myself, I'm lipstick OBSESSED! My collection is silly but they're gorgeous; I recently picked up these Estee Lauder ones and I've fallen in love. I've never had a red shade, simply because I didn't think I could pull if off, but DAMN let me just say ... They are stunning!
Sorry for rambling, if you want to see a detailed review, instead of me spilling words onto a page, then have a little read down below :).


Check out my recent blog giveaway click here!







PRESENTATION:

Iridescent. It’s like you are holding a lipstick shaped sapphire, it gleams in the sunlight and screams natural beauty. Estee Lauder have a wonderful reputation of creating eccentric products, and these lipsticks are no exception. When I first unleashed these beauties from the cardboard exterior I was stunned by how beautiful and compact they were, you can carry these around with ease! The gold and navy-blue represent the true Estee Lauder colours, you know you are receiving luxury when you see these statement shades. On the other hand, when I took the lid off, I was stunned that it was magnetic … Yes MAGNETIC! They had gone through the trouble of paying such close attention to detail that they inserted a magnetic mechanism; which ensures a tight lock; sometimes with click-on lids it can come undone in your bag; whereas this is locked tight, no need to worry about lipstick going all over your bag. Other than that, I feel very opulent and loved when I pick up this lipstick, I know that my well-earned money has gone towards a fanciful company.
In addition to this, when you un-click the lipstick, you are met with the stamp, ‘Estee Lauder’ on the side, just to remind you that they are always there for you, it also makes it very personal. I also noticed that the actual lipstick was sharp like a bullet … WHICH I ADORE! It makes it easier for a smooth application, and precision, I tried using this without a lipliner and it was so easy! 

THE PRODUCT:


In regards to the lipstick, perfection! It glides on silky smooth which is a must for me! Before discovering higher-end lipsticks I struggled finding a product that didn’t feel like chalk … But this is beyond wonderful, and the pigmentation is stunning! One swipe and a burst of colour is applied to your lips … When I say, this I mean it, no more than one swipe otherwise you will transfer like crazy! Believe me my boyfriend learnt the hard way … Constantly staining his cheek.
Estee Lauder use the key ingredient seed oil, this is what makes the lipstick stay together, as well as glide like butter. This is what I love about their formula, it doesn’t dry out your lip, especially when this is a matte lipstick … And that’s also true to their statement. Both colours are matte, and gorgeous colours. They suit all skin types! I was always worried about trying a red lipstick, as I’m deadly pale; but these two work really well with my skin tone. 
On the other hand, the staying power on these lipsticks were insane! I could have them BOTH on all day long, and would only have to re-apply once, and that was due to eating and drinking throughout the day. Normally when I take a few sips of my drink with other lipsticks, it clumps up together which is disgusting, whereas this doesn't move! Defiantly a plus in my books, and I'm very hard to please ... In terms of lipsticks anyway.



THE PRICE:


Now let’s talk about price. It’s not cheap, but if you are willing to go the extra mile and make sure that your lipstick has great pigmentation, staying power and easy to apply; then I don’t think you’d mind spending, £25.50. Yes, that is the retail price of this lipstick, but if you are a lipstick collector like me; and you feel like lipstick is a stable to your final look, then I would HIGHLY recommend this product!
This is the BEST collection of lipsticks I have ever tried, and I have Mac, Chanel and YSL. But these Estee Lauder ones are my staple, I’m wearing them to death at the moment.
If you are interested in purchasing these lipsticks click the link below, there are other shades there as well, if red isn’t for you.

This is now the end of the blog post! I hope you enjoyed this little review, I've missed doing these ever so much! Also if you didn't know I now have a YouTube channel! I listened to your requests and I have finally created one! I will be doing vlogs/challenges on there! It really does depend on what you want me to do. I will be putting up a vlog either today or tomorrow as I'm getting my hair dyed today! I already have a video on there, if you want to check that out I will leave the link down below for you :).

Little Adventures- Day one

Day one training at EE

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

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

Little Adventures-Family BBQ

Taking you along to the family BBQ

Good morning lovely people! How are you today? Sorry that I didn't post anything else yesterday, but I had a family event which I adored! I tried to take as many pictures as I could, but not many of them wanted their pictures taken. As well as this, I was really enjoying myself, so much banter and chitter chatter was going on. The only pictures I could take was of me and Chris (my boyfriend) on my family's field :).

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






















Family tradition:

Every single year in the Summer, my family have always held a BBQ. This is the only time of the year where all the family can get together and see one another. My mum's side of the family is crazy! But a good crazy! Last year we used the public field-as shown in the above pictures and made our own waterslide! We weren't able to do it this time, simply because people were in so much pain and the mess that came into the house was unbelievable! Normally we throw paint at one another or have  a laser party but we were rather tame this year! Only banter, dogs and chickens! And yes ... That's tame :').
When I was younger I used to hate these family events, I was shy and timid, and they were the complete and utter opposite! But after the years past I've grown up and seen how important spending time with family is. You don't always have to segregate yourself from your aunts and uncles; it's nice to see them, especially if they are filled with banter.

What did we do this year?

Fundamentally, the BBQ starts around 2-3, but I was inviting my boyfriend and he had work, so I had to wait until 5:30 for him to finish. Me and him arrived later on in the day. As soon as my family saw me and Chris they screamed and shouted YYEAHHHH! Welcomed us with open arms, was pleased to see me; and then started the banter with poor Chris. There was food galore, even vegan food! It was delightful; just what me and Chris wanted after work. 
Most of it endured of what I was studying, where I'm going in September, as well as getting to know Chris. After the interviews were done, me and Chris went to the field (their back-garden) and had some alone time. As you can see in the videos and pictures, we went on a romantic walk and just relaxed. 
After that was done, the alcohol was calling my name, I had a few shots as well as cocktails. It came to around 11pm and it was time to go home, we called a taxi and went straight to bed! 

When will the next one be? 

I was talking to my aunt and uncle and they are hoping on hosting another family BBQ in August, closer to my aunts Birthday or my Nan's. Even though she's not here physically, we still like to celebrate her Birthday. This time though I think they might make the home made water-slide. Simply because it's a massive event we are celebrating. Children are going to be there; it'll be fantastic. 

This is the end of the blog post, thank you so much for reading. Hopefully next time I will be able to take more pictures of my family, they don't like their pictures taken, they want to live in the moment. I love you all and my family so very much! I'm pleased to of shared this with you guys! I hope you enjoyed yourself! I will see you again later on today or tomorrow! 
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :D  x x x

Neal's Yard Product Review

Nourishing Orange Flower Toner

If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).

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.

Thank you again for reading this post and taking time out of your day to even look at my blog! I really do appreciate it! I still can't believe that you are interested in what I write; it's really overwhelming! In a good way :D. 
I will see you again tomorrow with a brand new vegan recipe, and hopefully my trip around London! 
I am thinking of starting to vlog soon, what do you think? I will keep posting on my blog :).
I love you all so very much, stay safe and stay tuned:) x x x
