We're in a new year, so what better time to start testing some new products!
So here are a few things that are currently on my testing tray.
Urban Decay Smokey Palette
I got this palette for Christmas & still haven't really used it yet! So I can't wait to see if the quality of this Naked palette stands up to all of the others. I actually really like that there are more matte shades in this palette. The brush in this palette I've already used & I think it's awesome. The shape is so much better than in previous palettes.
Soap & Glory Hand Food
This is Soap & Glory's classic hand cream, which I know I already like for it's none greasy formula, but with a different scent. The scent is the Sugarcrush scent, which I have tried some of the Sugarcrush range before & liked it. So I think this is going to be a good one!
Benefit 'That Gal'
This is one of Benefit's long term products, they've been making it for years. So I'm wondering how it has managed to stick around so long. Surely it must be good! From what I know it's an illuminating base/ primer. Which I'm not always a fan of, but we'll soon find out.
Zoeva Rose Gold Brush Set
Another Christmas gift! I love trying different brands of make up brushes & finding which I love to most. I've heard a lot of good things about the Zoeva brushes, so we're going to be giving them a try. I already love the rose gold theme & the brushes feel super soft, which is always a good start!
Benefit Roller Lash
Another Benefit product I know. However I was such a big fan of the 'They're Real' mascara I wanted to try their Roller Lash to see if it could compare. Having looked at the wand, I think I'm going to like it, but we will see!

I think I can safely say that everyone hates blackheads!
We try all sorts of products to get rid of them but they are notoriously hard to get rid of.
So this leads me onto the Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips.
These are a very talked about product in the beauty world for removing blackheads.
You can buy them as just nose strips or, as picture above, nose & face strips.
Personally I have very mixed feelings on this product. I feel like sometimes they work & sometimes they don't (sound weird I know)!
I think you have to have seriously BAD blackheads for this to work, but equally ones that aren't too embedded into the skin. The more embedded they are the hard it will be for the strip to stick to them.
They work in a very simple way though. You simply wet your skin and stick them on. Leave them for roughly 10 minute & pull them off! You can see if they've worked as you'll see the blackheads stuck to the strip.
The other thing that kind of bothers me about these is that they're aren't that cheap for what they are. They start from £7.99 for just the nose strips, this works out to be £1.33 a strip.
I find that a bit crap when they don't always work!
Anyway if you really struggle with blackheads I would advise giving them a go, but try & catch them on sale.

I received this hair oil in a recent Glossybox and it is the Natural World Weightless Hair Oil.
I do already sometimes use hair oils, usually just to add some moisture to the ends after washing.
(I wouldn't advise using hair oils near the roots of your hair.)
This bottle is a sample size bottle at 25ml, however that is perfectly fine with me!
If you've ever used a hair oil before you will know that you don't need to use much product at all and therefore hair oils tend to last for ages. Another plus to the size is that it's ideal for travelling.
Moving onto the actual product, firstly it smells amazing (unless you hate the smell of coconut)!
With regards to getting the product out of the bottle it is a little tricky but oh well.
The oil itself is lightweight and very nourishing on the hair. It makes my ends feel ridiculously soft, which is exactly what you want.
Another good point with this oil, this is my favourite part, is that after you've applied the oil it doesn't remain greasy on your hands. For some this might not be a problem but I hate trying to wash greasy oils off of my hands after use!
I'm loving this hair oil and plan to keep using it! It has definitely become part of my hair routine especially now I'm trying to grow my hair!
