When it comes to skincare I like to keep it simple and cruelty free, so I tend to stick to Superdrug's skincare range as I know they will always provide me with what I want. I was browsing there clearance section and came across a facial scrub for 30p, as it was apart of there own range I knew it would be what I needed so I purchased it and was not let down.

Skincare | Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Day Cream
Superdrug skincare is the perfect option for anyone looking for cruelty free affordable products that work well and do the job. I'm always in there mooching at the new products so when my moisturiser ran out I went straight into my local store to see what products they had. I picked up the Naturally Radiant Brightening Day Cream for just £5.99 this one stood out to be as I love products that brighten the skin, this one was also for normal to combination skin but you can also get it in other skin types as well.
Beauty | Superdrug Crystal Deodorant Review
Going cruelty free I knew I was going to struggle to find certain products however a deodorant was not one I thought I would struggle with, cue spending around a month to find the right one! Luckily Superdrug came to the rescue with there Crystal Deodorant, this is a very simply deodorant which is just 99p!
Beauty | Superdrug Salt Infusion Surf Spray
Getting the perfect salt infused look has been made very easy with Superdrug's Salt Infusion Surf Spray, this spray at just £2.99 it's a great product to go for. From there own range it makes it cruelty free and you know you can trust the product as it's coming directly from the company!
Beauty | Superberry Mud Mask
I'm not going to say no to picking up a new face mask for 26p am I, course not so I was over the moon to see Superdrug have some of my favorites in the clearance section of course this means I can no longer buy them so I naturally bought all 4!
Make Up Revolution Primer Review
It's no secret that Make Up Revolution is one of my favorite brands, I always have a piece of there make up on and my make up drawers are full of there products. So when I was out shopping for new make up I was drawn in to there Primer, I use to use primers a lot but recently I stopped so I wanted to try out a new one to get my back into the habit of using one.
B.Pure Micellar Cleansing Wipes
As a massive lover of face wipes I'm always trying out new ones, I was in my local Superdrug and came across there clearance section which had the B.Pure Micellar Cleansing Wipes. The brand is one I've seen a lot but never really picked up any of there products so I opted to pick the pack up to try out the brand and also get my fix of face wipes!
Superdrug Caring Shampoo/Conditioner
I have been using the same shampoo and conditioner for a while now so I decided to switch things up and try a new one. I went into my local Superdrug and came across there range of products, as I know there vegan friendly I opted for a shampoo and conditioner from the range. They do a great range of products targeting all sort of hair dramas, I went for the Caring range as it helps with dry and damaged hair.

Beauty - Collection Contour Kit
I have to admit I am a complete newbie to contouring and almost get a worried knot of anxiety in my stomach when it comes to applying bronzer to my face. It seems so unnatural to apply such a dark product onto my pale skin tone but I went for it and purchased my first contouring kit. I went into my local Superdrug and brought one from a brand I know and love Collection at only £4.19 full price but there's always offers on.
Beauty - Superdrug Make Up Brushes Review
I'm always needing new brushes and as most brands have expensive brushes I'm always on the look out for affordable ones to use. I normally go for Primark but my local store is having a refurb and I needed some ones so I opted for Superdrug's own brand ones and was pleasantly surprised.
At just £2.99 there just as good as the more expensive ones and look great as well, I picked up a bronzer brush and a blusher one to use as a highlighter brush. The design is sleek and looks great in my make up case with a matte black handle that is easy to hold and a cute and simply silver grip the brushes look and feel more high end then high street.

Summer Wishlist 2015
Today I thought I would do a small wishlist for you of things I'm lusting over and wanting to buy for summer so enjoy!
March Favorites
This month has gone by so fast that my favorites are a little on the low side as I've not had a chance to use any products or really have a sit down and rest but I have got a few for you!
The White Company - Rose Candle
This is a rediscovered product as I haven't burnt this candle for ages but I wanted to use some up before summer hits and I won't feel the need to burn a candle. But after burning it for a few hours one day I found myself reaching for it over and over as it has such a lovely spring rose scent that fills the room. It's a really uplifting and fresh scented product that makes me feel sleepy, it's the perfect product to burn when I need a nice relaxing evening with a glass of wine and a chill.
Oil Balancing Face Mask
As I've had no time this month to have a nice sit down break I haven't really had a chance to relax and do a pamper night but instead I've been doing 10 minutes pampers which are great for quick pick me ups in the day. My skin has had some kind of breakdown and my oily face and become so oily I can bearly control it so the one product I've been reaching for is my Superdrug mask that controls oil, it's a fab 3 minute mask that really makes the skin look hydrated and fresh while fighting to keep oil at bay. I've been really overusing it this month and love it!
The Glam Guide
When Fleur De Force released a book I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and I was not dissapointed when I got one. It's a great read and has such good helpful hints so over the last month I've been reading it on my lunch breaks at work before getting home to try out some off the handy tips and tricks. It's a great read for any Beauty Blogger or even a Fashion one, it has a great section for everyone.
MAC Lady Danger
My plan was to use this product on nights out only but I've been reaching for it more and more over the last month as it's a great lipstick to wear when I need a pick me up as it looks fab. It is such a lovely daring red/orange shade that it suits anyone and look great when I'm having bad skin day or don't feel my normal self. I also get a lot of compliments when wearing the lipstick so I couldn't really leave it out of my favorites!
So that's it for this month, how about you what has been your go to product this month?

Superdrug Anti Frizz Serum Review
As I'm currently growing my hair out I'm having to deal with issues I've not dealt with before such as split ends and dry hair. I've been getting it trimmed each month and making sure I use the right heat protection products but I was after a hair product to help me deal with my hair while I get it to the length I would like.
I went into my local Superdrug and wasn't sure what I was looking for so I asked one of the staff on shop floor who asked what my main concern was so after a chat she pointed my in the direction of the Style Expertise Anti Frizz Serum which comes in a 30ml bottle and has a handy pump which gives you a pea sized amount of product that works great for thick and unmanageable hair.
My main concern was my split ends and dry hair which sometimes gets frizzy at work and this product works really well for everything above. You will only need a small pea sized amount as anymore and it will make your hair look a little greasy so a little goes a long way but it has a really nice fresh scent to it and is really easy to use, just rub the product in your hands and then apply to damp hair before blow drying as normal.
After my first use I noticed my hair didn't have much frizz and was a little bit more moisturised so after my second application the next day my hair looked great and healthy which really impressed me. It also seems to make my hair look a little straighter as I have wavy hair it looks like I had style it that day but it was all down the the serum!
To pick up this great product it's available at Superdrug for £2.99, what is your favorite hair product to use?

An Updated Skin Care Routine
I did a post like this a while ago but feel like I have updated it enough to update you and feel like the products I use would be beneficial to others. My skin type is oily and I tend to use products to help with that or ones that work well even if they don't stay there for oily skin, I also have problems with spots so my product tend to be aim at for teenagers so this is a useful post for any oily skinned people or teenagers!
To start I cleanse my face with Bioderma cleanser which is a brilliant product to get rid of any make up or dirt on the face. I normally double cleanse to really get into my pores and to really strip away at anything on my skin, I find Bioderma is the best product I've use to take my make up off as it none scented and is quite pure it's not damaging for the skin. Next up I use my Body Shop Tea Tree Face Wash which is perfect for anyone with spot prone skin as it's got Tea Tree Oil in it really works hard to get at the spots which I love, it is really strong scented but it does help to get at the spots and to clear the skin.
If I have any spots that I just think I need to get rid of it as soon as possible I will use my Benefit Boo Boo Zap but only on really bad spots, which I don't tend to get as I use the Face Wash which I find clears the spots nicely. But this is a brilliant product which clears to spots overnight and works extremely well, it is however a little harsh on the skin and I would recommend not over doing it with this spot treatment as it can be very damaging.
Now it's time for the moisturisng which is my favorite part as it help me to wind down and relax my skin the one I use is The Body Shop Vitamin E cream for all skin types. This cream smells lovely as it has a really relaxing rose scent and is quite a thick yet fast soaking product I find it covers my face with a few small dabs and sinks in nicely. Last but not least I use an eye roll on to help cool and revitalize my eyes I use the one form Simple as I know it won't contain anything to nasty or damaging and I know it will work well. It helps to cool the eyes and tightens them a little to make your eyes look fresh and awake.
Once a week I tend to use a face mask and I have two really great ones which I use a lot one of which is the Superdrug own brand mask which is an oil balancing face mask which a great mask for oily skin and for spot prone skin, as it is a fast soaking mask it's a really quick 3 minute rinse off mask which I love to use when I'm in a hurry but need a pick me up. I also use Superdrug own brand Witch Hazel mud mask which is perfect for spot prone skin and is a rather fun mask to use, as it soaks into the skin it's really easy to remove and make my skin look bright and really works hard on spots so I always grab this mask if I want a nice pamper evening.
So that's it for my skin care routine, let me know your favorite product to use daily?

Edinburgh Haul
Of course I did a spot of shopping when visiting Edinburgh last week, it wasn't a massive shop but it was enough to put a strain on my suitcase. I visited Lush, Primark, HMV and Superdrug and got a few small item's which I'm sure you will love.
Lush
I picked up two of my favorite bath bombs Phoenix £3.35 bath bomb which is a lovely purple and gold bath bomb, I picked up quite a large one but they are sometimes smaller. I also picked up Sunnyside which I adore it's a really glittery bubble bar which get's everywhere it's only £3.75 but I love using it!
HMV
My music taste is normally rock but I was after a nice happy upbeat cd so I went for The Vamps as I love a few of there songs they have released I thought I would check out the rest of the songs, the cd was only £4.99 which is a great buy.
Superdrug
I've been after the Tanya Burr Picnic In The Park for ages and when she said she was bringing out new products I decided to have a proper look for it as I didn't want it to leave the shelves and I would never be able to buy it, so I was happy to find it in the Princes Street Superdrug for £6.99.
Primark
I've saved the best till last =] , I was after a new winter coat and found a lovely blue one which reminded me of Paddington Bear so I picked it up for £18! a complete bargain. To go with the coat I picked up some new knitwear I went for a scarf for £4, a hat for £2.50 and some gloves for £2 all in a navy colour. As you should all be aware now I'm addicted to Harry Potter and picked up some stretchy socks for £2.50 which will go nicely with the grey t-shirt that I got for £6 I love the colours they have used in the t-shirt. For Halloween I found a great bargain of a t-shirt for £6 which is a skeleton design which glows in the dark! Lastly I got some lovely Mickey Mouse underwear for £4.50 and a new make up case in a Bambi design for £3!
I hope you liked the haul and if you have posted a recent one let me know!

Superdrug Witch Hazel Mud Mask Review
I picked this mask up while shopping a few weeks ago as I had run out of my current ones and was after a new clay mask. I went with at Superdrug own brand mask which was only £2.59 a great price for this little tube of joy.
I've used it around 5 times now and have had great result's since using it, I went with a witch hazel one as in summer I tend to suffer with breakout's so I wanted something to calm my skin and get rid of pesky spots. The scent is mild and has a slight hint of witch hazel which is nice as it's quite a soothing mask so the scent suits it nicely. It's a thick product but quite runny so it's easy to apply, I found I only needed around 4 pea sized amounts to cover my face nicely.
I left the product on for 10 minutes the first time and then after I went for 15 minutes, I found the product slowly hardened and didn't set until I needed to remove so it didn't feel to tight to quickly which I really liked. My face after felt soft and really nourish which was lovely and after around 3 uses my skin had cleared which I was over the moon about!
What is your favorite clay mask?

One Direction Kiss You Lip Polish Review
Whilst I was in Superdrug I went past the One Direction stand and noticed they had lip polish's now and not just the nail varnish and other bits, I was after a new one and thought why not the nail varnish worked well so this might be a good product to. For £2.50 you get a 9g pot in a small circle tub which is nice and handy for my handbag. I picked up Watermelon as I thought it was the nicest shade.
It goes on well and looks great on as well as the scent being nice overall its a great product, You do however get what you pay for as it drys out quite quick and I need to reapply every 2 hours or so. But they are boys so I can't complain to much! As they did do quite well.
Overall I found the product to be cheap and cheerful but I'm not to sure I would re purchase.
