Small Collective Haul! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So today's post is going to be a small collective haul of some things I have brought and collected over the last couple of weeks. Some of the things are really old, but some of the stuff is fairly new! 

Let's start off with some clothes. The 1st thing I brought was this White Bandeau, it's really handy to have and it goes with lots of Clothes. It was about 2.99 from New Look, so it was a bargain! The other clothing item is this Mint Green crop top from Topshop. This is so pretty and can go with lots of different clothes. I tried it on in the shop with a skater skirt and it looked really nice. I didn't get the skater skirt though, but I'm hoping to get it soon! It was £8, which isn't to bad either. The material feels a bit flimsy though. 
Next are some random things. First are some Nail Wheels! I got 20 wheels, some white and some plain, each with 18 nails on for £2.99 from Amazon, which was a bargain. I love doing Nail designs and can see myself doing lots of posts in the coming future! I've nearly filled 3 up already! Secondly are a set of 10 postcards from Cath Kidston. I brought these for a little project I'm going to be doing on my Blog very soon! They have some really pretty patterns in this Postcard set and were about £4.50 from Cath Kidston, obviously! 
Next are some beauty items. First is one of the Nivea Lip Butters, this smells amazing and is very moisturising to the lips! I got mine from Sainsbury's, but I'm not sure how much it was, it might have been something like £2.50, but it was very cheap, whatever it was! Next are 4 Nail Varnishes. I went a bit over the top when buying Nail Varnishes recently! I brought 2 Barry M 'Gelly Hi-Shine' ones in 'Greenberry 317', which is a lovely bright Mint Green colour and one called 'Grapefruit 317' which is similar to a Salmon colour. I think the Barry M ones were about £2.99-£3.99, very cheap and from Superdrug! Then I brought an Essie one in 'Chubby Cheeks', (such a weird name for a Nail Varnish), which is a  bright orangey colour and was about £6.99 or £7.99, also from Superdrug! Finally, I brought a Models Own one from the Ice Neon Collection in 'Bubblegum', which is like a Florescent Pink and was £5.00 from Boot's! All the colours are so pretty and I have swatched them for you here. 
 Sorry this is a little blurry, but I think you can get the jist of the colours. From left to right is Models Own 'Bubblegum', Essie 'Chubby Cheeks', Barry M 'Grapefruit 317' and Barry M 'Greenberry 317', all beautiful summery colours, wouldn't you agree?! 
Next is this beautiful canvas from Next! I think it is so pretty and matches in with my theme of my room. I just love it so much! I think it was about £10. They still have it in the  Shop, so if you did like it and wanted to buy it, hurry! ;)
Another thing from Next is this gorgeous Loveheart photo frame. I absolutely love this! I have been wanting it for ages and I just think it's gorgeous. It also matches in with my room lovely and has a vintage looking effect to it. I'm undecided if I'm going to change the Photo's in it, or leave the flowery ones it has come with. What do you think?! Maybe I could switch it from time to time?! Let me know what you think in the comments! :)
Finally, the most exciting part, is some Lush products! I brought 'Dragon's Egg', which is one of my favourites and I'm going to be reviewing it sometime in the near future as I loves it, it's £3.20 which isn't too bad, but I swear they've got smaller?! Anyone else agree or noticed? Then the second thing from Lush I brought was the Pink 'FUN' bar. I've never tried one of these before, but the lady in the shop, very kindly explained to me and my Mum what they were and how you use them and she gave us a demonstration and let us smell all the different colours. The Pink one was mine and my Mum's favourite, so we felt very persuaded to buy it! ;) It was £5.00 which was ok I guess, apparently you can use it to make shapes in the Bath, does anyone actually do that? Haha. 

So that's everything for now! Not an awful lot, but I thought I would show you anyway! Who is also shocked at the fact that it's June tomorrow?! We are nearly half way through the year! It's so crazy! Anyway...thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! See you on Sunday with a Halfterm summary!

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So today I'm going to be doing the 'Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG'. This tag was created by 'The Beau Bow' at www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com, whose Blog is really good. Meg from vintagelovehearts very kindly tagged me to do this, so thank you! There are a few rules, so I will quickly add them in! 

Rules: 

1. You must copy and paste these 'rules' onto your post when you write it, it doesn't take long! 

2. You must state that this tag was created by 'The Beau Bow' and link www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com

3. You must thank the person who tagged you at the start of your post (link their blog as well) - follow them if you're feeling nice!, and then at the end of your post state who you tag, and then comment on their Blog on their latest post to let them know you tagged them, and then link your post so they can see what to do. 

4. Title this 'The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG', so everyone knows what it is about. 

5. Have fun! 
This is a funny picture! ;) 
Let's start the Questions! 

1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do?

I rarely ever do a Hair Mask. I don't know why, but I think it's because I always wash my Hair on days that I don't have time to do one. I only have time to do a Hair Mask in Half Terms, which is every 6-7 weeks roughly. This is so bad of me, as there recommended to do at least once a week! 

2. Is washing your Make Up brushes something you do regularly? 

Nope, I don't wear Face make up, only concealer, so I don't really use Brushes. Occasionally, I will wear Powder, but I will use my Mum's brushes and she doesn't wash them very often. 

3. How long will you last with chipped Nail Polish?

As soon as they start chipping, it will bug me, but I will normally leave it like one day after they start chipping. But over the weekends, when I have School, I will never change it, even if it does start chipping. 

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it? 

If I need it desperately, I will buy it when the one I'm currently using is about to run out, as I like to have it ready for when it does run out. I hate when you're using a product and it runs out and then you don't have a back up! If it's something I don't really need like a heat defense spray or exfoliator, I will just buy it whenever I'm next shopping, I won't make a special trip! 

5. What is your worst beauty habit? 

I have this bad habit, where I'm bored and I'm sitting doing nothing and I will just sit their and pick out my eyebrows with my fingers, no pluckers, no nothing! I really need to stop, as I get so carried away and don't really realise I'm doing it. Then I always end up with bad looking eyebrows, and it's just not good! I also always pick my Spots, which is never good as it always leaves Spot blemishes and scarring! 
Wise words from Bart... ;)
6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time? 

My homework for School or any revision for a test. I will always leave it to the day before and then start stressing when I  realise, it's actually going to take me a lot longer, than I first expected...

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute? 

All the time! If it's in the morning, I will lay in Bed and try and get as much sleep as possible, thinking I have loads of time, then I will start to get ready and realise I probably should have left myself more time, as then I am always frantically running around the house trying to get ready in time!

8. Can you commit to spending bans? 

No! Ever since a young age, I have always been spending my money. I just can't stop, and there's Lush for example...

9. How organised is your Make Up and Nail Polish collection?

I'd say quite organised! My Nail Polishes are all together in a cute vintage pot (Link HERE, where I've done a post all about my storage for Nail Polishes) and my Make Up is in another vintage pot, so yeah, quite organised! 

That is all the questions, done and dusted! I really enjoyed this TAG! I TAG Walking Through Wonderland to do this TAG! 

Thanks for reading!

Bank Holiday OOTD: Ankle Grazers and Vans! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

So today I thought I would give you a 'Bank Holiday Special' post. I don't normally post on a Monday, but seeing as it's a Bank Holiday (and Half Term!), I thought I would! The outfit is nothing special as I wasn't going out anywhere, but oh well, I still liked it! ;) 
 For my Top, I am wearing my beloved blouse from Topshop, with the beautiful detail on! I absolutely love this and wear it all the time! How pretty is it though?! I am also wearing a White Bandeau underneath it, which is from New Look!
 I wore the Top, tucked into my Ankle Grazers, also from Topshop. The thing I love about these, is that, you can roll them down, to wear as normal Skinny Jeans, but also roll them up, to wear them as Ankle Grazers. Very versatile! I love the colour of these as well, and the acid wash effect! 
 For my shoes, I chose to throw on my Carmine Rose Vans! I love these, they are such a pretty Pink, girly colour! My socks are also Pink and are from Ralph Lauren. 
The weather has been really Sunny today, but there has been times where it has been cold. For these times, I just wore my Abercrombie and Fitch Hoodie. I opted for this one, as it matched my Shoes! I love the colour of this and always wear it! 
 So, there we have it! My full outfit, not sure why I'm standing so weirdly... Anyway, I really liked my Outfit today and I especially enjoyed taking the picture's outside. I definitely want to do this more often! 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Spring Nails! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Hope everyone had a good week! I'm now on Half Term which means I have a week to plan, take picture's and pre-write some Blog posts...oh exciting! ;) So today's post is just going to be a quick one on updating you on some new features coming to this Blog and talking about Spring Nails. 

So the big update is....I'VE GOT SOME NAIL WHEELS. I bet you all thought it was going to be much more exciting than that! I got them from Amazon and they were £2.99 for 20 wheels, each with 18 Nails on. They were a really good buy and if you want to buy some, the link is HERE! So Nail Wheels = more Nail posts! I hate my Nails, so I hate taking pictures of them. Plus, I can never do good Nail Art on them. I'm hoping now I'm going to be able to do much better Nail Art Tutorials and will be able to take better Picture's of Nail colours. For example, back in my 'Favourite Spring Nail Varnishes' post (link HERE), I couldn't display any of the Colour swatches for you, so I have now painted the colours onto a Nail Wheel, and BOOM, they are here for you in this post!

From left to right is: Rimmel London 405 Rose Libertine, Barry M 307 Lemon, Barry M 304 Mint Green, No 7 Minty Fresh 320 and Barry M 318 Peach Melba. These are all gorgeous Spring/Pastel Colours, which I have been wearing continuously through Spring! I've probably worn the Barry M 304 Mint Green and No 7 Minty Fresh 320, the most throughout Spring, but I've worn the others here and there! 

I'm really look forward to start wearing some Summery colours on my Nails soon! There will be a 'My Favourite Summer Nail Varnishes' post in June sometime, with swatches of the Colours on the Nail Wheels, oh how professional! ;)

Another Update: I'm thinking about doing some sort of D.I.Y series. I have one D.I.Y project planned, which will be coming in the next couple of weeks, but I want to start doing a series like it, as I want to be more creative! What are you thoughts on this?!

Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this little update/Spring Nail Varnish talk! 

Byee!:)

Welcome Alien...! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Just a quick post today to talk to you about another Perfume that has joined my collection! As you may be able to tell from the title of this post, yes it is Alien by Thierry Mugler. I love, love this perfume!
Here it is in all its glory! Oh isn't the bottle just beautiful?! 

I love this perfume a lot. Yes it may be pricey, but it's totally worth it. It smells divine, that may be a bit over the top, but it really does. The smell is sweet and very strong. If you don't like strong scents, this is definitely not the one for you! Whenever my Mum wears it (I share it with her!), I always get in the Car and the whole Car smells of Alien! You can always smell it on your skin and it lingers in the air. It also stays on for ages, because it's so strong, you could wear one top one day whilst wearing Alien, then put it away, wear it another day and you will still be able to smell Alien! I have the Eau de Parfum in 30ml, which is £50.00 in Boot's. I recommend this to everyone, but only if you like strong scents, you definitely have to buy this. It's a lovely luxury perfume! 

Thanks for reading! See you on Sunday with a post!

Lush Christmas Products Reviews Part 3! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today's Post is going to be the final part to my Lush Christmas Products Reviews. I can't believe we are well into May and I've only just finished. When the Christmas products come out this year, I'm definitely going to write the reviews way before Christmas!! I feel so stupid talking about Christmas seeing as it's only May! Oh well! ;)
The 1st product I am going to be reviewing is the 'Party Popper Bath Ballistic'. This is a really cool cone shape and I expected good things from this, but I was so wrong! This is one, I didn't really like! First of all, I was really not keen on the smell. It was a bit weird and reminded me of this deodorant I had that smelt like Public Toilets...I didn't let the Smell get to me and I popped it into the Bath. It started fizzing really quickly and was gone in no time at all! I was really disappointed that the Pink colour kind of took over and there was not much Blue fizzing away, as that would of made it more interesting!  It had tiny bits of 'Confetti', in it which were really disgusting colours, like dark green and they went all mushy in the Bath, it was just gross! There was a tiny bit of Popping Candy in it, which would be expected seeing as it is a 'Party Popper', after all! That was probably the best thing about it. Some of the ingredients include: Tangerine and Bergamot oils as well as Coconut, Rose and Rapeseed oil. My Skin did feel softer though, so that was also nice. 
The Pink Bath water was really pretty though! However, as you can sort of see from this Picture, there is a tiny Pink line around the Bath. Yes, this is a stain!  Yet again another Lush Bath Bomb has stained my Bath, it's so annoying! It took a while to come off, but luckily it slowly faded away...For £2.95, you can see why it's priced so cheaply. To me, this was really nothing special, and if it comes out again next Christmas, I don't think I'm going to rush out and buy it, once is enough. This was so disappointing! 
So the second product I'm going to review is the 'Rocket Re-Usable Bubble Bar'. This was one of my favourites! First of all, it's a Rocket...how cool?! Anyway, I really like how this Bubble Bar is a hard one, which means you can get lots of Baths out of it. The Bubble Bar itself, is really quite small, but I managed to get 4 Baths out of it. However, I think it could have easily managed 5. It turns the Bath water a Purpley/Blue colour, very similar to Space Girl. It produces tons and tons of Bubbles, which all smell delicious and they make your Skin feel very soft! You also get out of the Bath, smelling lovely and it leaves the Bathroom with a beautiful scent! I would definitely buy this again!
This is the colour of the Water and the amount of Bubbles it produced! It looks like such a  lovely Bath! It's main ingredient is Fire Tree Oil, which sounds interesting don't you think?! The price is, I think, £4.95, which is very expensive! But when it gives you lots of Baths, smells lovely, leaves your Skin nice, gives you lots of Bubbles and is just lovely itself, you can't really Grumble, really enjoyed this one! 
Next up...The Melting Snowman Luxury Bath Melt! How cute is this?! It's actually adorable! For this picture I had to stick the Eyes and Nose back onto the Snowman and hope for the best as annoyingly, they do fall off! So, you pop this into your Bath and let it melt. It produces no Bubbles (which is fine!), but just slowly melts away. It does take a while to melt, but that's cool! The Chocolate Button looking things basically melt like Chocolate! It's quite weird. It does nothing spectacular to your Bath, it just slightly tints it White. It makes the Bath water so smooth and creamy-like. It's really nice, and after you get out your Skin feels amazing! It's so good! The smell is also really nice and I could smell it so strongly on my Skin whilst I was out Dancing! On the Lush website, they say its main ingredient is Almond Oil. I only got 1 Bath out of this, but you could easily get 2 I think. For £1.95, it was really nice. It's cute, smelt amazing, left your Skin feeling lovely, made the Bath water creamy and it just made your Bath a lot more happier and nicer! I would definitely buy this one again! 
Here is the Bath water, just in case you were interested! Nothing special, just gone a bit white and creamy! :) 
 The final thing in the final part of the Lush Christmas Product reviews is the 'Magic Wand Bubble Bar', saving the best until last?! This was possibly my favourite (along with Candy Mountain and Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic!), I just absolutely loved it. When you swoosh it in the Bath, the little Bell on it rattles slightly, it's so cute! The smell of it is amazing and lingers on your Skin for ages, whilst filling up the Bathroom and the whole upstairs of my house! The smell is quite strong, so if you don't like strong smells, this is not the one for you! I was amazed at how many Baths I got out of this! I got 7, which is a week's worth. I thought this was pretty amazing. It's £4.95, which is one of the pricier ones, but I'd say it is totally worth it. 
Whilst giving me 7 Baths, it gave me tons and tons of Bubbles each time. Just look how many there are? They are all really soft, leaving your Skin soft and nourished too. Unfortunately the Bubbles did fade away quite quickly. It also tinted the Bath water a Pinky/Red colour which was super pretty! It has no featured ingredient, I just found out by looking at the Lush website, so I can't talk about it! Annoying! Apart from the price, I really loved this, I'm sad to see it go and will definitely be buying it again, if it is to come out again! I loved the smell (and that it lingered on my Skin), the bubbles, how many Baths I got out of it, how it left my Skin and the relaxation it brought to the Bath! Super, super happy with this one!

So that's it! Lush Christmas Products reviews done and dusted! It's took me a while, but I hope you enjoyed nonetheless! Here is the link to Part 1 and Part 2, if you haven't already read them! Thanks for reading!

My Storage Ideas: Lush Products! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

If you are a total Lush hoarder like me, you will definitely want to display all your Lush products in a nice way. Yes, there is that nice way of putting them on a 'Cake Stand' and putting them in your Bathroom, but I don't think that would go down too well with the rest of my Family, so this is what I do instead! 
Here is the very uninteresting way I store my Lush products, but I like it and it keeps them nice and organised, instead of having them scattered around my room. I like to keep mine in a nice White wicker basket, it goes well with the 'White' theme in my Room. The actual basket is from Cargo, I think it is about £10, but I bet you can get them for a lot cheaper elsewhere! The size of the Basket is good and just about fits all my Lush products. I just put my basket underneath my bed side table and it fills the room with a lovely scent! I really like this way of storing them! 

So that's it, a really quick post showing you how I store my Lush products. I may start up a new thing on my Blog where I show you how I store things, as I very recently did a  'My Storage Ideas: Nail Varnishes' link HERE! I'm also going to be doing a mini room project soon! So I will upload a Blog Posts and Picture's for one specific thing, probably going to be coming in June! Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading.

OOTD: Leona Lewis! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

It feels like I haven't done an OOTD for ages! I always plan to do them when I'm going out/doing stuff, but I can never be bothered to take the Pictures, bad blogger right here! :( But recently I went to see Leona Lewis, so I actually made myself take Picture's for an OOTD and here it is! It's nothing special, but I thought you would like to see it anyway! :) 
 For my Top I just wore this Lacy(?) Flowery, one from New Look! I got this quite recently, so I think it is still in the Shop! Underneath I just wrote a Black Vest Top, also from New Look!
I tucked the top into some Burgundy Shorts, again from New Look! I love these! I'm wearing them with some Black Tights, which I think are from Next?! 
So, this is the final outfit! I wore some Black Bow Dolly Shoes, from New Look and last minute I chucked on a Black Cardigan, also from New Look, I swear my whole outfit is from New Look?! I also just wore my Hair down! 
This is what I did on my Nails. Mint Green on every Nail, apart from the Ring Finger, where I'm wearing a Pastel Blue with Glitter! For my Makeup, I just did a bit of Concealer  Powder, Lip Gloss, e.t.c! 

So yeah, that's my OOTD! Hope you enjoyed, and comment if you would like me to do some more! Thanks for reading!

Byee!:)

Lush: Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar Review! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Hope everyone's having a good week so far! Mine has been so busy and there's still lots more to come! For today's Post, I thought I would do a quick review on the 'Pop In The Bath' Bubble Bar from Lush! Here is the LINK  on the LUSH website, if you're interested!
 Pop In The Bath is a really good sized, cute, Bubble Bar and I love the name! It is priced at £2.90 which is relatively cheap, for how nice it is, I think it's a massive Bargain! It is one of my Lush favourites for a number of reasons and was actually featured in my Lush Favourites Post HERE. Firstly, I adore the smell, it is lovely. It is quite a floral and sweet scent. Some of the main ingredients in this Bubble Bar include: Mandarin and Bergamot Oils and Orange Flower absolute.  The smell creates a lovely aroma in the room, in the Bath and lingers on your Skin for ages. You also come out of the Bath feeling relaxed and moisturised, as it leaves your Skin feeling lovely and smooth. 

I also really like how Pop In The Bath comes in a number of colours, it comes in Green, Blue, Pink and White, so you will always have a good selection to choose from. I opted for the Green colour, on the Lush website it is darker, but mine is more of a Mint Green, which I actually prefer! 
As you can see from the Picture above, it creates tons and tons of soft and light scented Bubbles! I held it under the Tap for a good amount of time and they appeared in no time! It also made the Bath quite foamy, which was nice. The Bubbles did stay for a good amount of time, but I did think they could have stayed a little bit longer! I got about 4 Baths out of this, which isn't bad, but I got more out of Creamy Candy and that is a lot smaller, strange! I didn't get any colour in the Bath from the Bubble Bar, but after all, my Bubble Bar was a very light (Mint) Green. 

The only bad thing I would say about it is that, it went a bit 'mushy' after I had used it. It obviously got wet, but I don't think it could cope with being wet, as it went all runny and I lost a little bit of it as it dripped into the Bath water. It soon hardened up though, ready to be used again! 

Overall, this is definitely one of my favourites! It smells delicious, creates lots of Bubbles, you can get 4 uses out of it, it's relaxing and nourishing for the Skin, comes in lots of different colours and is so cheap! What's not to like?! 

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed and found this useful! 

Byee!:)

Behind The Scenes Of Blogging TAG! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

So today I thought I would do a quick Post as I feel like I haven't done one in a while! I'm going to be doing the 'Behind The Scenes of Blogging TAG', which was created by http://www.thebeaubow.blogspot.co.uk/, who's Blog is really good, I love to read it! No one tagged me, but I'm going to do it anyway! Is that allowed?! ;) There are some Rules, so I will just post them here! 

COPY AND PASTE THE RULES


1. You MUST state that this TAG was created by www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com (Lauren)


2. You must use the image I have provided in this post on your post.


3. You must title this post 'Behind the Scenes of Blogging TAG' so everyone knows what it is about!


4. You must tag at least one other person, but there is not a maximum limit! -You will need to comment on their blog to let them know that they are tagged.


5. Thank the person who tagged you and link their blog.


6. You must answer all the questions

7. HAVE FUN!!


                                                        
Onto the Questions! 

1. Do you plan for each/some of your blog posts, if so, how do you do this?
I don't plan out exactly what I'm going to write out, before actually writing it, I just go with it. I will plan that I'm going to do that Post and I will pre-take the Pictures, a few days (sometimes weeks!) before I upload the post and I will plan and write down when I'm going to upload it. 

2. Do you have a Blogging Notebook/Diary where you write and plan about things to do with your Blog? 
I actually do! It's an old one I used for School ages ago, but now I use it for Blogging! I use the Notebook to schedule my Post, so I write down when I'm uploading them. I normally do it for the whole Month. So for this Month, I've written down the dates I'm going to post for this month and I've written what the Post is going to be!  Oh so organised! ;)

3. Do you feel pressured to buy things so that you have something to review on your Blog? 
Nope! I just look around my Room and think 'I might review this today because I'm loving/hating it and I've tried it long enough to have a full honest opinion on it'.  Unless every Blogger is reviewing the same thing, then I will feel like I need to be reviewing it too! 

4. Has the style of your Posts/Blogs been influenced by someone else? If so, who?
I really like Sprinkle Of Glitters, style of writing, so I sometimes try and do mine quite similar. I also love Zoella's Blog as she always influences me to take better pictures! 

5. What are your favourite Posts to plan and write about? 
Probably Lush related posts! I love reviewing their products, as I love Lush and I hardly ever have a bad thing to say about their products, so it's always going to be a positive Post, which is good! 

6. Do you think that your knowledge of Make Up (and applying it) has improved because of Blogging?
I definitely know more tricks and tips about Make Up and I would say I've probably improved my Skin Care routine from reading Blogs and hearing people's opinions about what are the best Skin Products out there and what Skin Products you need to avoid! 

7. Do you test all Products a certain amount of time before you review them?
Well I like to try them long enough to be able to have a honest opinion about them. I don't   have a certain amount of time, but it can be anything from 2 weeks to a Month. 

8. Do you have any other Websites for your Blog? (E.g- Twitter, YouTube, Bloglovin', or a Facebook Page, e.t.c) 
No...not yet! 

9. Do you feel the need to buy something, you have wanted, EVEN more when you see your favourite Blogger talking about it? 
YES! If they love it, I trust their opinion, and this makes me want to buy it 10x times more, as I know the product I want is going to be amazing! 

10. Do you find taking Picture's to be a chore, or not?
Well, taking Picture's for my Blog, is not my strongest point! I'm really not very creative and I'm definitely not a pro-photographer. My Picture's are always pretty rubbish and don't really show the Product's full potential. I always leave too much space, bad lighting, bad contrast, e.t.c! 

I really enjoyed answering the Questions for this TAG, it has been really fun! 
I'm going to TAG vintagelovehearts and Live To Love And Laugh

Thanks for reading!
Byee!:)

What's In My Bag?! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

I hope everyone is enjoying their Bank Holiday Monday and having a good day off! I had a lie in and got ready and now I'm writing this! Not sure what I'm doing later! So today's post is going to be a 'What's In My Bag', I've been wanting to do this for ages and finally got round to it! 
So this is my everyday Bag! It's from New Look, but it is years old! I must have had this Bag for about 2 years! It's been looking a bit worst for wear recently and I am looking to get a new Bag, but I really love this one! I think it's a great size, it has 2 compartments, a small one (which I like putting my Phone in!) and a bigger one (which everything else goes in!) and it has a long strap, which I prefer in a Bag! Let's move on to what I have inside!
In my Bag: 

Tissues: Just handy to have in your Bag for sneezes, or if you have a Cold! 

Soap and Glory 'Hand Maid' Hand Gel: I think it's so important to carry around a Hand Gel, as you never know where you might catch Germs, and if you're going to be eating out you will need to sanitize your Hands!

Vaseline: I always carry some sort of 'Lip Product' around with me, but it's normally Vaseline. This is just to keep away chapped and sore Lips! 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: It's always handy to carry around a Concealer as you never know when you might get a Spot/Blemish/Under Eye Circles! 

The Body Shop Lip Gloss in 'Raspberry': This is just if you want to brighten up your Face a bit, by adding a touch of Lip Gloss, this Lip Gloss is lovely, I might review it soon! 

My 'Pug Purse': I love this purse! The Pugs are super cute! But you always need a Purse in your Bag to carry around Money/Cards, e.t.c! 

Cath Kidston Mirror: Handy for applying your Concealer and Lip Gloss! 

Phone: Obviously you need to carry your Phone around with you!! 
The contents of my Bag fits in 'Snug as a Bug in a Rug!' Haha. So yeah, that is my 'What's In My Bag', I would love everyone reading this Post, to do their own, as I love reading these kinds of Posts, I'm so nosey! Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!

Byee!:)

The Body Shop: Earth Lover's Shower Gels! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:) 

I was in The Body Shop the other day and overheard a Shop Assistant and Costumer talking about how the Earth Lover's Shower Gels have been discontinued. Looking on The Body Shop website just now, they are still on there, but not in the Shop...confused?! I was planning for today's Post, just to write a little bit about them, but I feel weird doing it if they've been discontinued! I'm going to do it anyway though, but sorry this is really pointless! 
I have tried 3 of the Earth Lovers shower gels and loved them all. Ages ago now I tried the 'Watermelon and Eucalpytus' shower gel and loved it. So the other day I picked up 'Lemon and Thyme' and 'Pear and Lemongrass', I love both! 

I think the Earth Lovers shower gels have really natural scents. They are not strong, but 
really nice, light and sweet scented. They linger on the Skin really well and last for a good amount of hours. They lather up really nicely, so you only need the tiniest bit ever. They are £5.00, which I don't think is too bad. The bottle is huge and lasts you for ages and £5.00 is really not too much to pay for a lovely Shower Gel, even if you just use it for a treat, now and again! 

The only bad thing about them is that, they are a tiny bit Watery. So when you tip the Bottle upside down, loads comes out really quickly and it's a waste! It is a bit annoying and I wish the formula was a tiny bit thicker! 

I really love these Shower Gels and don't want them to get Discontinued, I might stock up on the website online before they disappear forever. You can buy the 'Lemon and Thyme' one HERE and the 'Pear and Lemongrass' one HERE! Sadly, they no longer do the 'Watermelon and Eucalpytus' one, as that was my favourite one! 

Thanks for reading, even though this might have been a bit pointless. Hope you enjoyed anyway!
