Traveling Essentials - Make-up | Leah'xo

Well who's going camping? I am.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to show you what I would take when I am traveling. There is no way just because I am going camping I am going to take nothing, I am pretending it's going to be like the tent in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Anyway, what I take for camping is probably what you all will take abroad or something so here I go:

 

Simple Hydrating Moisturizer and Bayliss & Harding Lavender Body Lotion.

Miss Sporty Liquid Concealer and MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit.

Natural Collection Pressed Powder with a Lydia Professional Face Brush and a cheap eyeshadow brush from Ebay.

Powder Brush from The Poundshop and George Blush in Little Gem.

No7 Highlighter thing :) Collection Bronze Glow.

MUA Brow Pencil In Blonde.

 

I know my make-up case isn't nice but it's the only one I have. All the ones I try don't fit brushes into them. I hope you enjoyed seeing what I will take to camping. Really I showed you this to show you, actually all you need is a few things. For Example I use my highlighter as eyeshadow. Love all of you guys :)

Tea Tree Toner Tab Review | Leah'xo

Hello guys, how are you all today? I am sick so I wrote a blog post to take my mind of it.


Last night a crumbled half of my toner tab into my facial sauna. My face straight after felt incredibly smooth and clean. I then poured the remaining water into a jug and stored it in the fridge (the woman in the store told me to.) This morning I woke up and wiped it onto my nose and around my face. I still have half left and will use it when I am not being sick. But I can say when I am ill my face get bumps and is very rough but it has remained the smoothness it was last night. For £1.00 I think I have fell in love. They are 2.50 dollars.

My Addiction To Lush | Leah'xo

DISCLAIMER - I AM NOT BEING PAID TO FEATURE ANY PRODUCTS IN THIS BLOG, ALL VIEWS ARE MY OWN. I DID NOT GET PAID TO FEATURE LUSH IN MY BLOG EITHER, I JUST HAVE BECAME OBSESSED TODAY AND THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW.
Watching Bunny's (Grav3yardgirl on YouTube) Birthday Lush haul I decided to drop in today and at first I was looking around and thought - "This is abit overpriced" Then I tried some samples and fell in love They are against animal testing, they only use fresh ingredients, they are 100% vegetarian, they are handmade AND the packaging is plain resulting in easier recycling!! WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?  . I only bought a small something because I didn't have much money but there's alot on my wish list. I thought I'd share my wishlist with a brief description (from the website!). I think I am going to do one per section because there is alot I would love:

Pink Fun, £5.00 for the amount in picture:-

This Image Had To Be Big Otherwise You Couldn't See It Properly.

 This is a magic product, you can use it as shampoo, bubble bath, play-do, soap, body cleanser. SO MANY THINGS. The website says :-

'Ideal for children (of all ages), Pink Fun can be whatever you want it to be. This gentle 4-in-1 product can be used as a solid shampoo, bubble bar, soap, or even for play. One of five colours in the range, this is a nostalgic trip back in time to childhood smells of vanilla and sweets. First, enjoy making models and shapes out of it, and then either break off a small piece and use as a soap or shampoo, or crumble under running water for bubble bath. Its sweet smell comes from tonka absolute, which adds a warm, caramel note.'

 Doesn't it just sound amazing, it's like play-do that a teenager can play with and not get funny looks :) ahah.

Herbalism, £6.40 for a 100g tub :-

  

This is one of the product the woman shown me in the shop today, it is a cleanser for the skin. It smells vinegary and looks like moss. When she picked it up I looked like she was mad. Then she picked abit up and added water. It was like magic! I said that I have been breaking out recently and loads of blackheads have appeared and she said this would be great. I want it so badly now! Shame I didn't have enough money with me! It has the strangest ingredients including NETTLES?! But it is so nice on the skin. The website says :-

'Nettles, rosemary and rice bran vinegar work to cleanse the skin, removing dirt and grease, leaving bright and beautifully clean skin. Chamomile blue oil and rose absolute are used for balancing skin tone. Rice bran and ground almonds will gently exfoliate the skin and when mixed with water, the almonds create a soft cleansing milk. Our chlorophyllin is extracted from alfalfa, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and is great for revitalising the skin.'

Sympathy for the Skin, £11.25 for 240g :-

 This product seems like a fairy in a tub. It's a cooling body lotion which doesn't it sound amazing after a hot bath. The website says :-
'We've packed this lotion with bananas, cocoa butter and vanilla to nourish and soften sore skin. Fresh, organic bananas are mashed and added to a loose emulsion of vanilla pod infusion, cocoa butter and almond oil, which helps the skin more easily absorb the vitamin and mineral-rich bananas. Sandalwood is great for dry skin as it’s anti-inflammatory and cooling.'

Tea Tree Toner Tab, £1.00 for each tablet.

 

This is what I bought today as I seen Bunny had it. I am tempted to do a post about my nightly routine with this included, would anyone be interested? Anyway I think I am going to love this. As I actually have a proppa Facial Sauna I thought this product would be perfect. I am going to crumble half into the bottom of the facial sauna and some in a little cup and I then will use it another day. The website says :-

 'If your skin could use a little extra TLC, try this powerful yet gentle treatment of tea tree oil and aloe vera. Tea tree is known for its antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and helps to combat the bacteria that causes spots. Aloe vera is kind, cooling and wonderfully gentle on the skin. Drop into a bowl of hot water, releasing the steam to open pores and allow the essential oils to be absorbed.'

And that's about all I want to try there is so many more products I would love but I tried to be harsh on myself and only tell you 4. When I get abit more money I think I may try some other things but for now I am happy with the Toner.

Would anybody be interested in a review of the tea tree toner tab?

New Look's best buys | Leah'xo

I feel the urge to go shopping but I can't because I have no money. So instead I thought I'd share my online window shopping with you guys! New look* has amazing summer stuff and I want to buy the whole shop but I can't. Anyway...
*New Look is an English clothes shop, similar to forever 1 and places like that. They do ship internationally. Check "this link" to see if your country is one of them!

Well as usual I will list products and their price; all pictures will be below.

• Basic Strappy Vests in any colour you could imagine. My personal favorite is the mint green. I love the pastel side to this colour and also the safeness of it. (Safeness is now a word, OK?) Every wardrobe as to have a simple vest top in there wardrobe. For only £2.99 and the offer 2 for a £5, I'd buy the two for a staple garment in my wardrobe.
• When I stumpled across this bralet it took my breath away. It is coral in colour and a crossover design. I have wanted one of these to go under a sheer top but couldn't find a nice one. I don't really have the figure to wear on it's own but I know loads of people do! This bralet is £6.99 and paired with some shorts or skirt would look stunning.
• For accessories I think this flower head garland in nude pink is a nice thing to throw on and it'll look like you've made loads of effort. For £3.99 you can't go wrong. I have been looking for one of these for AGES and have only found them for like £10. So when I get money this is gonna be number 1 on my list.
• I love flower earrings, so when I found these 9 pack of neon flower earrings. I had to share with you guys. There are six pairs of little round studs and three pairs of neon flowers. These are great for people with there second piercings done because they can pair the colours. Also for a person with one piercing. They are very delicate looking so good for school or work.
• What does any summer outfit need? White Flatform Jelly Sandals of course! (Also available in Pink, Black and clear) They add an edgy vibe to any outfit and make you look all 'oh yes, look at me' ahah. Anyway... (Who wants to know something personal about me?) I cannot stand feet, if a foot is touching me. ArGhHhH. They could be the most beautiful feet in the world, I don't care just nononono. Can't stand them, but these show off a perfect amount of foot :) Ahahah.Oh by the way these are £20

Anyway I hope you enjoyed and make sure to tell me if you have bought anything from New Look recently. We're all friends here, tell me the one thing you can't stand. I love hearing from you guys :* Please follow so you can easily see when I update <3
