We all love a bargain, especially when it comes to make up!
There quite a few ranges in the UK that have products as cheap as only £1.
Now, like a lot of people I would imagine that the quality of some of these £1 items is a bit hit & miss. Although I haven't many items from these ranges so it is hard for me to say.
The £1 item we're going to be reviewing today is the Make Up Academy (MUA) Eyebrow Pencil.
So the pencil itself is duel ended, the one end is the pencil whilst the other is a brush. Now I have to say it's not the usual brush shape, it's just a flat brush. However I feel like it's quite a decent brush, especially given the low price of the product.
The pencil is available in three shade I think, blonde, brown & black. So if you're a redhead this product probably won't suit you very well. The shade I have is brown.
So the shade range is rather limited & to be honest the brown for me is too dark.
The quality of the pencil is actually alright, it's not too dry or to waxy. It is pretty easy to sharpen too, as in it doesn't break off really easy. I think with pencils it's all down to having them sharp, if they're sharp they are generally all alright & this one is no different.
Overall I'd say it's an alright product, however it's not something I reach for as I prefer to use powder to fill in my brows.

This cute little thing I got in my advent calendar last year.
You know me I love fragrances, so to get one in an advent calendar was a right treat.
To see what else was in my advent calendar see this
blog post.
This scent is The Body Shop's Italian Summer Fig eau de toilette.
I know that The Body Shop do have a full range on products in this scent, so if you really like it you can go crazy and bathe yourself in them all!
This scent is definitely one best kept for summer, as it is a very fresh scent. I also feel like it is a very wearable fragrance feeling very appropriate for both daytime & nighttime.
I do feel like this scent isn't for the younger of my audience though, it is definitely a 20 years+ scent in my opinion. Obviously this is just my opinion, but when I was younger I didn't like floral & fresh fragrances. In fact, they still aren't my preferred type of fragrance, but I do find them a lot more wearable now I'm older.
So overall I would say this scent is nice, not a favourite, but still a very wearable and fresh fragrance.
Perfect for this time of year!

Skincare is subject that I love!
So today we're going to be talking The Body Shop's Vitamin E range.
Three products in particular: Vitamin E Hydrating Toner, Moisture Cream & Night Cream.
So firstly I'm going to talk about the toner. This is just like any other toner for me, I don't find it to anything too special. It is still a nice soothing toner, which I would say is suitable for just about any skin type! It does add some moisture to the skin, like it's name states, which is nice as some toners can be a little drying.
Next I'm going to talk about the day/ moisture cream. Now this is my favourite of the three products! It is a really nice light day cream, which is really moisturising but doesn't leave my face feeling or looking greasy. It is more on the thinner side of day creams but I like that in my creams. I have to say as well I've had no breakouts whilst using the cream, which is a win.
The night cream I quite like. It feels soothing & gentle on the skin. It is a thicker cream, like most night creams are. This makes it really moisturising, however it can take a little while to sink into the skin. I like how it's quite a simple cream & does cause any undesirable side effects on your skin.
These products do have a light scent to them, which I can only describe as 'eau de old lady' (haha). But it's not so strong that it stops me using the products, so it can't be that bad.

New series alert!!
I'm starting a new series today here on the blog.
It will be featuring new clothing items that I'm loving & titled as above 'New in my Wardrobe'.
So the product we're talking about today are some legging by Superdry.
I don't know why, but Superdry has never really had a proper sportswear range (a bit odd for such a sports based brand). However they recently launched one!
They cover a great array of sportswear style staples, paired with awesome colourful prints/ patterns.
You can see this in the leggings I'm wearing above. The quality of these leggings are great, super stretchy & thicker than you're bog standard leggings. They also have a phone zip pocket on the bottom, which is a interesting place to put it but actually quite a useful one!
I also love the print & colour of these leggings! I ombre colour scheme is super cool & unique. The print being their name makes them stand out as a brand.
I will definitely be purchasing more from this range very soon. They have a great selection of tops, vests, hoodies etc as well as leggings.
I will say they aren't the cheapest sportswear, however the price point is definitely on par with Nike & Adidas. Which I imagine some people would consider the average for high quality sportswear.

I personally am the sort of person who loves a glossy lip, even in fall.
These are some of my favourites glosses & they are Benefit's Ultra Plush Lip Glosses.
Firstly can we take a moment for this packaging. Benefit always gets a 10/10 on packaging for me!
This carnival style packaging is super cute.
The glosses come in a variety of very complimentary colours, airing more on the nude/ neutral side of lip colours. Which I personally really like in a range!
I think the most important thing to mention about the formulation is that they are NOT sticky, in any way, shape or form! Which makes them so comfortable to wear, to the point where you forget you're even wearing a gloss.
They aren't overly pigmented just like a lot of glosses, but I love to layer these over other lip products to create a really glossy lip look.
You can see the colour pay off in the swatch image below.
These two shades are fauxmance (top) & A-Lister (bottom). Which I got in last years Benefit advent calendar and I have to say I get SO much wear out of these two shades.
Overall these are a great gloss & I would highly recommend them!

This is one of only a few things I got from Glossybox which I had actually heard of. It actually worked out quite well as I had planned on buying this anyway!
This is the Tresemme Renewal Hair & Scalp Tonic.
Firstly the packaging of this product is great for applying the product as it allows you to get really close to the roots and between your hair. However the cap on mine is broken so it leaks, restricting the way I can store it.
The product itself smells amazing like all Tresemme products do!
They do also have a shampoo & conditioner as part of this range to go along side this product, but I haven't tried them. They're probably great for people with really dry scalps.
I wouldn't say I have a dry scalp but it does get a little itchy sometimes. So that's when I tend to use this product (I'd say approx. every other week). When I use this product I love it, it's so refreshing as it contains tea tree extract. I like to massage it into my scalp as well and it feels great. I feel like this tonic does help nourish my scalp when it is a bit itchy or ever dry. I also really like the process of using this product!
This product retails for £5.50,
which I feel is definitely worth it if you have a need for this product!
