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!

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.

Good afternoon Little ones! I'm currently curled up in bed, warm and toasty ... Just finished reading The Lake House by Kate Morton; and I'm so overwhelmed, but satisfied, that I've read another book. I thought that I would add something new to my blog, some sort of a book review? I'll do this ever so often, simply because my readers out there might want another book recommendation; so I'm here to save the day! Oh, and on the contrary, you could help me! Let me know what books you love, and I'll review them on here!
Anyhow, if you want to know more about this book then have a little wonder down below! Don't worry, I won't be giving ANY significant information away!

Check out my recent blog giveaway click here! 

After reading, The Lake House it gave me a different perspective of life itself ... I was so absorbed in the characters that when it came to resurfacing life itself I was left numb. Kate Morton has a style of writing which takes you on the journey, that;s when you know you are reading an exceptional novel. She's an incredible women, with a passion with words that take your breath away. From the minuscule detailing of her surroundings, for the unfolding relationships between each character. There were times when I had to take a breather, simply because my emotions had go the better of me ... It was choking. 

I felt that because she had studied Cornwall beforehand, she knew what she was writing to a tee. She nailed the salty air, and the windswept hair by the sea ... It had taken me back to the time when I had visited Cornwall ... Oh the beauty, it's utterly memorable. On the other hand, I loved the aspect of being in one era, and then another ... Books like that I adore, simply because everything comes together neatly at the end. Some people will disagree; but then everyone has a different reading and writing style; which makes book writing even more admirable. In regards to her story line it was perfection. T'was based on an abandoned home, where something heartbreaking had occurred, several people thought they were to blame for the incident ... But the answer was right in front of them. So many blot-twists, and shocking revelations. It pulls on your deepest emotion and takes you with them. You are there with the charters, you are in their minds, you can see and feel what they feel; and that's a blessing and a curse.
Kate Morton tied in several significant and triggering revelations in her book, WW1 and WW2, and what it was like for both men and women in those days.
I don't want to give any charter development away, simply because it would ruin your reading experience.
Therefore, if you adore mystery and having to guess what happens next, then you will fall in love with this book. It's my favourite out of her entire book collection, I would know since I've read the entirety of her books. But they have all left me speechless and wanting more.
Just like always I find it hard to pick up another book when I have been swaying with emotions, it'll be a few days until I can read again, just because I have fallen deeply in love with the book, and reading another wouldn't feel right ... Does anyone else feel like that? I hope that I'm not overly insane.

I must now love you and leave you. I hope that you enjoyed this short but sweet blog post! I enjoyed writing it! I promise you will love the book, and if you don't then that's fine; it's not the one for you.
Anyhow, if you do get the chance of picking up this book, please tell me what you think about it! I would love to know!
I'll leave a link below to where you can purchase this story, if you are still interested of course!
I love you all so very much, see you soon! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :) x x x

Product review-Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss Orange Women Eau De Parfum 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Hugo Boss, I found this perfume and fell in love with it, I'm planning on purchasing another bottle, simply because it brings back lovely memories when I use it.

Hello! I'm ever so sorry that this has taken a few days to post, I have been undergoing serious issues, of which I can't disclose just yet; but when I can I will write about it :).
Anyhow, how have you all been? What did you do yesterday and what are you planning on doing today? Let's cut to the chase! If you are a perfume addict then you will love this blog post! Have a little read and relax :).

PACKAGING:

Undoubtedly enchanting. The enriching peach crystal bottle is breathtaking, it reminds me of a bundle of peaches laying before my eyes, in a perfume formation. The bulbs arising makes it plump and brings it all to life; especially when the lighting catches it ever so slightly. When I hold this within my grip I feel expensive and important. It's ever so delicate, but completely beautiful. I adore the rose gold cap placed at the top of the perfume; it's a crown on importance, and in my opinion this one has indeed won the prize. Consistency is the correct word. Everything corresponds to one another, for example, the fruity exterior, golden crown, and shiny execution. All tied in together with the classical Hugo Boss logo on the side. Matt black, it stands out from the crowd, high and mighty. If I were Hugo Boss I'd be doing the same; this is a beautiful looking product, they should be proud to of created this masterpiece. In regards to the blanket that protects this beauty, it matches the perfume to a T. The rose pink cardboard, with the shiny golden font screams opulence. And is repeated when you hold this perfume with your bare hands.

THE PRODUCT:

Just like the packaging ... Flawless. As soon as you spray this onto the skin, the scent of a musky rose comes in to play, as well as a sweet and daring flavour. It smells expensive, and represents a massive sex appeal. When I put this on in the morning, it reminds me of my boyfriend Chris kissing me and looking into my eyes. This is what I always wore when we first met, and I still wear to this day.

This perfume lasts such a long time, because it's the Eau De Parfum version it's so much stronger in comparison to the Eau De Toilette. Meaning that the staying power is intense; a little goes a long way ... And I mean that. Two or three sprays will set you for an 8 hour day on the go. 

On the other hand, I feel that this is such a natural scent you can wear it for any occasion, especially dates, simply because it's not overpowering, and it won't make the other person feel sick.

I wish that you could smell this currently, it's purely amazing! Although you can always head into your local Boots or John Lewis; they constantly have this on display for you to have a good spray.

THE PRICE:

This perfume retails for £47.00. This may sound a lot for perfume, but not for me. In my opinion this was completly worth the money. I purchased this bottle in September last year ... It's lasted me an entire year, and I still have more in the bottle. Previously, I bought the Eau De Toilette, and it only lasted me 5 months, it was the same 50ml, but I had to spray more because it didn't last as long, plus that one alone retailed for £43.00, only making it £4 cheaper! Plus I had to buy a second version because they didn't have the stronger one in stock. 

In my opinion, if you like the smell of it, go ahead and treat yourself, it's stunning and it makes you feel confident. 

This is the end of my blog post, thank you so much for reading this, I'm very sorry that this took so long to post, as mentioned previously so much has been going on that I can't currently disclose on here. But hopefully I will be able to write about that in a separate blog post :).

I love you all so very much! I can't wait to see you tomorrow! I'm letting you guys decide what I post :).
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x
