Zoella Beauty | Blogtober Day 16

One of my all time favourite youtubers, Zoe Sugg aka Zoella, has brought out a beauty range called Zoella Beauty - well done Zoe! Walking into Superdrug the other day and noticing Zoe's products on the shelf there was so bizarre after watching her on youtube for so many years and then seeing her face in a store was just mesmerizing. Zoe has done so well for herself and Zoella Beauty looks amazing!

This was Zoe's shelf in the Superdrug I went into (Liverpool One). The collection holds two make up bags, a fizz bar, blissful mistful fragranced body mist, let's glow candle, soak opera bath soak/shower cream and creamy madly dreamy body lotion. All of the products are reasonably priced - everything is £5 apart from the make up bags and the blissful mistful fragranced body mist which are priced at £8. 

The make up bags as you can see in the photo above are adorable - the green/blue one with Zoe's eyes and the pink one with a guinea pig. The fizz bar (200g) is shaped like a bar of chocolate and is actually in separate chunks (8 in total) so you don't have to use it all at once (the Superdrug website recommends 1-2 chunks per bath so you can get between 4 and 8 baths from this!). Blissful mistful fragranced body mist comes in a 45ml glass bottle and the scent actually reminded me a little bit of MAC's Turquatic perfume. The website states that the scent includes a mix of fruity and floral notes. Let's glow candle comes in a silver tin with a lid and contains white wood accents, sweet vanilla and soft floral notes within it's scent. Soak opera bath soak/shower cream comes in a 490ml bottle and contains soothing floral notes. This product also contains vitamin E, aloe and shea butter extracts. And lastly, creamy madly dreamy body lotion. This product comes in a 160ml bottle/tube and also contains vitamin E, aloe and shea butter extracts - I'm guessing in the same scent as soak opera although sadly they were both sealed in the shop so I couldn't get a whiff :(

I would be so proud of myself if I was Zoe and had achieved all that she had from making videos in her bedroom. The collection looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to pick up a few things on my next Superdrug trip - I love the look of the make up bags and the fragrance smells incredible. 

Congratulations Zoe!

Liverpool Haul | Blogtober Day 11

So because I'm back in Liverpool, one of the first things that I wanted to do was go shopping to pick up a few bits. I love the stuff that I found so I thought I would share them with you. Theres some beauty, a couple of accessories and just a random thing which is pretty cool.

L'Oreal False Lash Flutter Mascara - £10.99. L'Oreal Lipsticks in Eva's Nude and Blake's Red - £6.99 each. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 30 - £5.49.

I picked up another one of my mascaras as I was in need of a new one and I have changed from Maybelline The Falsies to L'Oreal False Lash Flutter (I never thought I would change from the falsies!). The mascara is amazing. It has a plastic brush but isn't just normal shape and makes the lashes look incredible. I also wanted to get my hands on a couple of the new L'Oreal collection of nudes and reds and I chose Eva's Nude and Blake's Red - both stunning colours and Superdrug had L'Oreal products on 3 for 2 which made it even better! I also wanted to pick up the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 30 after watching Essie Buttons video where she featured this - it's such an autumnal berry colour and is literally stunning.

Next, I headed to Lush again... surprise surprise, nothing new there. I literally find myself addicted when it comes to this time of the year so I went in and picked up another few bits.

Reindeer Rock soap -  £3.10 per 100g (my piece - £5.46), Fizzbanger bath bomb - £3.35, Snow Fairy shower gel, small - £3.75, Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb - £3.50.

When I last visited Lush last week, I was stuck between choosing the soap Yog Nog or Reindeer Rock. I went with Yog Nog but still ended up going back and getting Reindeer Rock. It is made from dried lingonberry infusion and contains bergamot oil and toning cypress. The soap is a gorgeous purple/maroon colour with little reindeers embossed onto it with a gorgeous berry scent. I then picked up the Fizzbanger which I have never tried before and as you can see it is such a bright yellow colour so I’m looking forward to seeing it in the water. I think it is supposed to be like fireworks as it contains popping candy with a scent of citrus apple and cinnamon. It contains ylang ylang and cinnamon leaf oil and the website also mentions petitgrain which is used in aromatherapy to calm the breathing and heartbeat and to help with anxiety so I am looking forward to seeing if that works. Snow Fairy is one of the Lush Christmas classics which I pick up every year. It’s bright pink, smells like candy floss and has slight glitter in it – could a shower gel get any better, really? Finally from Lush I picked up the Luxury Lush Pud which I had last year, but it has been changed. Last year it was a purple colour and this year it is literally fluorescent pink. It contains tonka absolute, ylang ylang and lavender oil. It also has the same scent as Twilight which is one of my all time favourites from Lush.

Necklace - £6.00.

Necklace - £5.00.

Thermal travel mug - £3.00 (I think).

Finally, I headed to Primark. I picked up a couple of really cute necklaces. I especially love the big flowery one, I think it will look so cute with a big chunky jumper in the winter time to make it look a bit more dressy. And the travel mug is the random purchase. This little baby had caught my eye the last couple of times I went into Primark and I thought to myself 'no Emma you don't need it cause you don't drink coffee or tea' but I couldn't resist the glitter any longer. This will now be my excuse to take hot chocolate everywhere with me - not that anyone needs an excuse for hot chocolate wherever they are right?

Hope you liked this little haul.

Tanya Burr's Lips and Nails!

Tanya Burr is a person that I have watched on YouTube for quite a few years now and to find out that Tanya would be bringing out her own beauty line simply excited me. 

Tanya Burr herself

Tanya is a YouTube sensation who has gained nearly two million subscribers to her channel. Tanya started off by training as a make up artist and worked alongside some of the biggest names in beauty. Tanya then took to YouTube as well posting videos from beauty, tutorials and tag videos to vlogs and collaborations with other YouTubers. Tanya also runs a very successful blog.

Tanya then worked with eyeCANDY cosmetics company to create her very own line of lip glosses and nail polishes. Along every step of the creating of the products, Tanya was involved, using her own knowledge and taste to create a product range with something for everyone. Tanya also named each and every one of her products herself which I also think is a really nice touch.

Lipglosses

From left to right: Afternoon tea, Let's travel the world, Champagne toast, Exotic island, Picnic in the park, Chic, Vampire kiss, Smile dream sparkle, Heart skipped a beat, Just peachy, First date, Aurora.

In the lip gloss range, there are twelve lip glosses ranging from bright to nude and creme to shimmer (there really is something for everyone). The lip glosses also include moisturising ingredients to help hydrate the lips and also claim to have a 'wet look' finish and long lasting shine. 

Creme lip glosses - Afternoon tea, Let's travel the world, Exotic island, Picnic in the park, Chic, Vampire kiss.

Shimmer lip glosses - Champagne toast, Smile dream sparkle, Heart skipped a beat, Just peachy, First date, Aurora. 

As you can see from the colour selection and finish range, there is something that everybody can wear. Priced at £6.99 they are also really affordable. I can't wait to get my hands on Afternoon tea, Picnic in the park and Aurora.

Nails

From left to right: Peaches & Cream, Be bright be happy, Little duck, Mini marshmallows, Bright and early, Mischief managed, Riding hood, Midnight sparkles, New York night, Penguin chic. 

The range also includes ten nail polishes. Again, like the lip glosses, there is a colour for everyone ranging from hues to brights. The nail polishes claim to be long lasting, chip resistant and non fade as well so if all this is true then these nail polishes are a bargain at just £5.99 each. The nail polishes also have a shimmer shade thrown in which is Midnight sparkles. I am excited to try out Little duck, Mini marshmallows and Midnight sparkles.

Tanya's lips and nails are available exclusively at www.feelunique.com. In Tanya's latest YouTube video, the announcement was made that Superdrug were taking on her cosmetics and will be stocking them in the near future! There is not a date set yet for when the products hit stores, but its official, it's happening. 

I can't wait to get my hands on some of Tanya's products as I don't yet have any myself, but I am definitely going to grab a few of the lip glosses and nail polishes!

Have you tried any of Tanya's products? What do you think of them?

Hope you enjoyed this post.
