Hello lovelies - a quick post on some ebay finds I've set about finding ya'll...

Read below for all details...ciao

So yesterday I uploaded the picture below on instagram and was overwhelmed by the lovely comments from friends and followers. Some people wanted to know what products I used etc so I'll list them below for any of you that are interested. 

Hi guys - 

A really quick post today on my mini haul pictured below. 

I've been wanting to try a new shampoo & conditioner for a while now so thought I'd give the Garnier Fructis a go since I haven't used these products in years! 

The dove soap is my absolute fave - I no longer use shower gel because of this product! If you haven't tried it already you need to, it has shea butter in and smells lovely. 

On the left is a midi skirt from internacionale (love the design) and some junk jewellery from there too!

I've really wanted to get back into beauty box subscriptions, but could not justify paying nearly £13.00 each month for products I'd probably use once and throw away. 

Having done some research I found the YOU Beauty Discovery Box at only £6.95 including p&p.

YBD gives you the choice of about 8 products to choose from (not a lot I know) - a healthy snack, an accessory, and a magazine. 

I did not receive the magazine for some strange reason, I'm hoping this is down to low stock or something (no biggie). 

Anyway the products I chose were:

Tangle Teezer - compact styler RRP £12.25

Crabtree & Evelyn - gardeners hand therapy 25g (Limited Edition) RRP £5.00

The Tangle Teezer is something I've actually had  my eyes on for a whole year, but never got round to ordering it... so when I saw the brush as an option for this particular box I was just like YUP I have to get it. 

With the hand therapy - as winter is fast approaching I am in need of some hand cream for when I'm out and about. I've actually seen the Crabtree & Evelyn products in M&S so thought it would be a good try. 

See... I can justify my reasons for having this months beauty box, I wanted the brush and needed the cream! haha.

Oh and the lovely people at YBD added this gorgeous nakd snack bar! I usually hate healthy bars because I find them boring in taste, but not this one!  The berry delight bar is gluten, wheat and dairy free containing:

- 49% dates

- 31% cashews

- 17% raisins 

- 3% Raspberries 

Apparently this bar is one of your five a day. Woo!

As you may know from following me on twitter or instagram, I am the complete food freak.. I love cooking even if it isn't so healthy (I'm speaking about those cupackes below).

& If you've watched my smoothie vid - you'll probably understand that I am a pro at making them (really I'm just addicted to them). :P 

Well....

I hope your mouth doesn't water looking at these pictures.

Hello readers! 

On the blog I bring you the lovely Canaan mud mask.

 I've had this product for a while but have not reviewed it because I felt like I needed to give it some time. 

Today I felt like my face needed uplifting - something a little more than makeup, so before popping into the shower.. I used the Canaan applicator to apply the product all over my face, I then left the mask on for about 3 minutes and quickly washed it off. 

Once I had washed the mask off my face I was so shocked at how soft the product had left my skin - (yes I have used this product before but I do not remember my skin being this soft). 

Soft a great word to describe how my skin felt but moisturised too, I didn't even need to moisturise my skin after because it was so smooth. 

ANYWAY, I said to myself I'd have to make this a part of a weekend routine - wash away all those weekday stresses and all. 

Can I just say this product is produced in Israel - hence the 'dead sea' text on the front of the package. The first ingredient mentioned is 'dead sea natural black mud' how cool?

Bought for £4.99 for a 50ml retails online for about £18.00 

'Dead Sea mineral mud is renowned over the world as a natural agent that revives the skin renewal, encourages its moisturising capabilities and renews its overall feel and appearance.'

'As you wash away the mud, your face will awaken to a new dawn of velvety softness.' 

Hi guys,

hope you are all having a lovely weekend - quick post on my 'how to make a smoothie' youtube upload. 

My first video & first video edit so I know its not great but yes, cut those corners and learn how to make a simple smoothie. 

I attended the student lock in event last Wednesday in Northampton as you can see below! 

If you know Northampton you'll know that its a complete utter waste of time shopping there (seriously), so I really don't know why I bothered waiting in this queue. 

For a student event - It was not great I mean some shops were doing ok discounts but I think there could have been so much more going on - perhaps because the centre is so small  and there isn't a great deal of shops. 

In terms of freebies - you could not escape all these pizza hut vouchers (not so great for those of us trying to lead a healthy lifestyle haha)..

However I did receive a beautiful gift from H.Samuel (thanks guys). 

Pictures of my OOTD are attached below - didn't take many pictures unfortunately! 

I always come across these lush cosmetics reviews and think why have I not yet reviewed these yet? 

I gathered it was probably because they are so pretty and glittery I really didn't want to spoil them! haaha

No but seriously, I have not yet used any of these products below as you can see and really need to make use of them! 

I still have the box of these beauties but don't really know what these products are called because there were so many more items bundled together with these. 

I really have no idea as to what I'm supposed to do with number 2 & 4 but numbers 1 & 3 I'll just pop in the bath and let it unravel from there! 

Can I just say how amazing an Iphone camera can be when you've forgotten your own at home!

Something a little different for the blog today, 

I haven't done an ebay finds post in a while... this one as you can tell focuses on cancer research as it is awareness month! 

Disclaimer: [Buying from these sellers does not mean you're donating to cancer research, nor does it mean you are raising the awareness by wearing any of the below items. I have put together this cheap ebay finds post for those who are thinking pink this month and would like to show support to the many sufferers of cancer... I hope I've worded this correctly!].

I have left all links to the pieces you see in the photo, below the photo.  

Office are supporting cancer research & raising awareness by giving the organisation £40 of their sale off this £55 shoe (see below).
