So we are one month into 2015 now and already it has been a good 'un for me. Over the past 31 days I have collected a couple of favourites, so here is what I have been loving this month. Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energising Gel Wash (£4.99) has been my face wash of choice this month. I love everything about it...
At the moment I've been really loving minimalist nails. I think there is something so elegant about them and less really is more. *Ciaté Cream Soda (£9) is the perfect colour for a minimal mani. This subtle cream grey is soft and super wearable. It is really understated and classy. This one is quite sheer. I applied 3 coats but I think that really 2 was...
After months of worrying and stressing, I finally received my GCSE mock results last week. I had convinced myself that I had failed everything. When I opened up my results I was over the moon, I had managed to get 7 B's an A and an A*. I had spent weeks and weeks worrying and getting myself in a panic for absolutely nothing....
Lush Golden Wonder (£3.50) is my favourite bath bomb everrrrr. I got Golden wonder for Christmas and I have actually already mentioned it on my blog before, but I just couldn't leave this beauty without a full review. For starters, it smells a-maze-ing. It contains lime oil and orange which are so fresh and citrusy. I'm a sucker for citrus scents so if...
Barry M Cobalt Blue Nail Paint (£2.99) is an amazingly pigmented deep royal blue colour as suggested by the name. This beauty is opaque in one coat, glides on like a dream, dries quickly and is long lasting. It is just the perfect polish. I love to wear blue nail polishes and I love this one in particular as it reminds me of Coraline which is...
As I have said on numerous occasions, I long to have been born with gorgeous, voluminous, uncontrollable curly locks when instead I have flat hair that cannot make up its mind and doesn't do as it is told. On a recent search for the miracle product that will bring me such gorgeous waves, I found the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea...
As I said in my resolutions and goals post, parts of 2014 were tough for me, but there were always some songs that I had on repeat, to motivate me, cheer me up and just match my mood, so I thought I would share them with you lovely readers. Songs That Got Me Through 2014 from ciara_cris on 8tracks Radio. What songs got you...

The Perfect Treat For A Cold Winter's Night - Lush Snow Angel Bath Melt Review
Sunday, January 18, 2015
Ahh Lush Snow Angel Bath Melt (£3.95). This little angel is packed full of glittery moisturising goodness! Not to mention that it's seriously cute. Because this is a bath melt it doesn't create any bubbles however, there are still surprises ahead. Typically, bath melts don't really do anything to make your bath that exciting. But Snow Angel creates this layer of white foam...
*Ciaté Mineral Positivity (£5) is a thick textured black and antique gold polish. This beautiful midnight black is speckled with a galaxy of gold glitter and is completely unlike any polish I have seen before. It's quite thick and so you could actually get away with only one coat, but two will make sure it really is opaque. *Mineral Positivity was so easy to apply, the...
I do love a good face mask, especially a peel off, but I often find that some of them are a bit too harsh for my skin. I picked up the Mudd Peel Off Mask (£3.05) on a whim from my local chemist and I've been loving it. The Mudd Peel Off Mask clenses gently and has an exfoliating action. Extracts of gingseng are...
I received the *Seventeen Mini Lipgloss Library (£6) in my stocking for Christmas and although it may not look like much, it really is something quite lovely. It contains 6 mini lip glosses that are perfect to throw in your bag and take you from day to night. The set contains four shimmer based shades and two that don't have any shimmer and can be...
So White Bath Ballistic (£3.20) is a huge round white bath ballistic. It doesn't look like anything special but it smells gorgeous. Before it has been used it smells like apples. Which is slightly odd as it doesn't actually contain anything that would suggest that it smells of apples. This bath ballistic contains bergamot oil, rose absolute, orange flower absolute and neroli oil....
I'm getting a lot more into nail polish all of a sudden. I think I've actually spent more time wearing nail polish than not recently and that is a big thing for me. My school is quite strict about uniform and we are not actually allowed to wear nail polish to school. But if you are sneaky then you will get away with...

The Everyday Pink ¦ Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 415 Pink In The Afternoon Review
Wednesday, January 07, 2015
I originally saw the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 415 Pink In The Afternoon (£7.49) on Bird's Words and I knew straight away that I just had to have it. It is an absolutely gorgeous mid toned pink with a creamy finish. It is perfect for the day time and I even wore it to my birthday party as I think there is something quite classic and elegant about...
One of the things I got for Christmas was this beautiful *Best Of Benefit Set (£24.50). I think this set is fantastic, especially if you are new to Benefit makeup like me, as you get to try out a little bit of everything. It is also great value for money and comes in really cute packaging. I haven't had the set that long but I...
I've been after a new perfume for ages. One that I can wear day and night and that could hopefully become my signature scent. I had had my eye on *Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl Eau De Toilette (£16.99) for a while and finally got my hands on it when I received it as a birthday present. Since the first spritz this has been my...
Lush Butterbear Bath Bomb (£1.95) is a gorgeous cocoa butter and vanilla scented, bear shaped bath bomb. I think that it is probably the cutest bath bomb from Lush that I have ever tried and it left my skin feeling amazing. When first popped into the bath, it didn't really do anything special, there was no colour change and no bubbles. It just...
I've always struggled with my sleep. I've just never been any good at it. When I was little my mum used to take me to sleep therapists because I would just go days without sleeping. Since then my mum and I managed to find things that helped (the therapist was not one of them) and I am much better now, but still some nights I...
I was Nominated by Emily Mace to answer a couple of questions about last year and the next. I'm new to blogging so I think this will give everybody another little chance to get to know me. So, let's get cracking: 1. What was your biggest achievement of 2014? I think my biggest achievement this year would be the fact that I can...
2014 was a weird year for me. It was filled to the brim with ups and downs. Things that I thought were going to be amazing weren't and things that I wasn't excited for at all turned out to create some amazing memories. I started this blog, joined a local netball team, had 3 sets of mock GCSE's, I visited Berlin and Paris,...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Wow can you believe we are into a new year already? 2014 was one hell of a year for me, filled to the brim with ups and downs. Over the year I fell in and out of love with a lot of things so here is what I was loving in 2014. (The bits I can remember anyway!) L'Oreal Nude...
