Empties #1

Hello there jaz beauties. Today I'm posting my first empties and I know it's been a while but there is something wrong my with blog. I think I've got it sorted and I will hopefully be posting more regularly. For those on you unfamiliar with the concept of "empties" it's a post or video where people share their finished products and give their opinion of them. Hope that you enjoy this post and would like to see more empties in the future! This is a have a say september post and it was again requested by 0fficial1Dlover
Body and face care empties:
Nivea soft cream- I do really like this cream and its been a regular repurchase of mine for quite some time. It's nice and moisturising and it smells divine. This states you can use it for face, body and hands. At first I only used it for body and hands but then I started using it for my face and I actually really liked it. I'm trying out a few different creams right now so I don't think I'll repurchase this any time soon.
Aveeno daily moisturising lotion- I have a review on this lotion so I won't go into too much detail (a link will be below)). This really does the job and keeps my skin super hydrated more than the Nivea soft. You would think that this lotion is quite heavy due to it being so moisturising but it's not. If I could change it one little bit I would make it sink in a little faster.
Bath and shower empties:
Snow fairy body wash- this shower gel is a limited edition Christmas item which is unfortunate because of how amazing it smells. It smells like bubblegum, sweets and pure amazingness. The shower gel itself is not that moisturising but the smell makes up for it completely. It has tiny iridescent glitters which tend to rest at the bottom of the container. My only other fault with this is that the smell doesn't linger for that long which is terrible because I absolutely adore the scent.
Volcano foot mask- I didn't like this mask at all. You apply a thick layer of this to your feet and then you wrap your feet In cling film and wait for 20 mins and its supposed to get rid of rough skin. This did nothing and it was super messy, when the mask hardened it turned into clay which crumbled everywhere. Overall a product which I won't repurchase!
Hair care empties:
Hello hydration shampoo and conditioner - I thought that this shampoo and conditioner were really good. They added lots of moisture and shine to my hair and made it feel nice and soft. I will repurchase these two hair care products but at the moment I'm using sulphate free hair products so I'll let you know how that turns out.
Pure coconut leave in conditioner-
I did not like this one bit. To start with the packaging. Instead if being a mist spray there is one hole in the bottle letting out loads of product in one small section making it almost impossible to cover all of your hair. If it was an amazing product I would be able to put up with the packaging but it wasn't. It doesn't do anything at all and was pointless.

Makeup empties:
colossal volume express mascara maybelline: I really did like this mascara. I have quite long eyelashes so I wanted something that would give me volume. This did that as well as giving me length although I felt the formula to be a bit dry but that's probably because I kept it open too long!
Barry m lipgloss in coral: I loved this lipgloss!!!! Barry m lipglosses in General have a great consistency and smell. This lipgloss definitely did. The smell was very tropical and the colour was an amazing a pinky coral as the name "coral" suggests. I love this because it isn't too sticky and it sits nicely with not the longest staying power but enough.

Thanks for reading! check out my instagram, comment and follow. I was planning on creating a twitter account what do you think?

would you rather? beauty edition HAVE A SAY SEPTEMBER

Hello there blog readers,
today is the first day of have a say september the first request being the would you rather tag requested by 0fficial1dlover on instagram. I hope you enjoy it and before I start I tag the wonderful cherry beauty blog ,the amazing isabella darcy and of course all of you reading.

I apologize for me not blogging for a week. My account was going through some problems and I've been really busy. Hopefully I'm back on track to my once every 2-3 days schedule!!  

Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows and palettes?
I think I would rather lose all of my palettes and eyeshadows. I could always use different coloured eyeliner as eyeshadow and I don't think I would be able to give up my very precious lip products

Would you rather chop off all of your hair or never be able to cut it again?
I suppose it would be cool to have 1 mile long Rapunzel styled hair but I can't imagine how dry and damaged it would get not to mention how much stuff you would get in it or how to get it in a shower cap. So I think I would have to chop it all off, it will grow in time.

Would you rather have a coral or pink cheek?
I think it would have to be a pink cheek as it suits me more.

If you had £1000. Would you rather spend it all on makeup or clothes?
It would probably be clothes. I love makeup but I like my smaller collection and I think £1000 would be a bit to greedy for me! But I'm the opposite with clothes, I get as much as I can.

Would you rather use eyeliner as lipstick or lipstick as eyeliner?
I would rather use eyeliner as lipstick. I would get a pink eyeliner then it would be just like a lip pencil. I can imagine lipstick being very sticky on the eyelids and the thought of putting it on my waterline ugghhh.

Would you rather only shop at mac or sephora?
We don't have sephora here yet I would pick sephora as it provides a range of different brands and products. Mac ,lovely as it is, only has the one brand (mac obviously) so I would much prefer lots of lovely choice.

Would you rather only use one eye shadow colour for the rest of your life or or one lip colour?
I would rather use one eyeshadow colour. I tend to stay neutral with the eyeshadow however I like to change my lip colour up quite a lot.

would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer or summer clothes in the winter?
I don't think I can answer this question. I adore my summer dresses, shorts and t-shirts but I also love my jumpers, skinnys and boots. I honestly can't decide!!!

would you rather wear dark nails or bright nails all year round?
Bright nails!! I love bright nails way more than dark. Not that I don't like dark I just really like bright nails. I'm pretty sure bright nails would include pastels which I love as well so bright would have to be my choice.

would you rather give up your favourite lip product or your favourite eye product?
My favourite eye product!! I would definitely rather keep my fave lip product.

would you rather keep your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
I would wear a ponytail. I rarely wear buns and I never wear messy buns and sleeping in a bun is too uncomfortable

would you rather never be able to use nail polish again or wear lipgloss?

I would rather use nail polish as I could wear a glossy lipstick. I don't think I would be able to never wear nail polish, I love it too much.

would you rather shave of your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

I would rather sharpie them in. I can't imagine what I would look like with no eyebrows and sharpies come in all sorts of colours.

would you rather live without makeup or nailpolish?
This is the hardest question of all of them. Probably makeup but thinking that I could never have my
 brightly coloured nails again well it saddens me :(.

I hope you enjoy this comment, follow and stay tuned for my next have a say September post

TIP TUESDAY a simple treat for your hair AND your nails

Hey there beauty blog lovers. Today is my first tip Tuesday, I got this idea from glamlifeguru on YouTube and I thought it would be great for my blog. For this tip Tuesday I will be sharing with you a very simple recipe which you can use for quite a few purposes. So here we go:

You're going to need:
Bowl
Teaspoon
Coconut oil
Extra virgin olive oil

Making this is super simple. Take your bowl and add in a teaspoon of coconut oil then two teaspoons of olive oil. Heat this in the microwave for 5 seconds stir the mixture then repeat until its melted.
It should look something like this
I love using this on my nails to soften my cuticles and really moisturise them. I dip a tissue into this and rub on each nail, I tend to leave it on for around 20 mins then I rinse off and it leaves them feeling nice and soft.
For whatever I've got leftover, it will end up in my hair. Olive oil has great moisturising properties and coconut oil helps with dandruff and maintaining healthy shiny hair. I rub this mainly through the ends and lower ends of my hair. I then put my hair up in a bun. After waiting for about 20 minutes I rinse off with shampoo and conditioner. My hair is quite long so it tends to get try and the ends and this really helps with keeping my hair silky soft

I hope you all enjoyed this tip Tuesday and leave requests down below for what types of tips you would like to see in the future. Don't forget that my first have a say September post will be up on Thursday. Follow, comment and there is one place left for have a say September so leave requests down below.
