Autumn Makeup...Nail Polishes!

Hello My Lovelies

Today is officially the first day of Autumn!! With this in mind I thought I would grab my favourite Autumn & Winter nail polish shades and share them with you.

I've had these Sally Hansen polishes for a couple of years and I love getting them out when the colder months strike. Pennies from heaven is a beautiful gold/bronze and perfect for the lead up to Christmas. The other, Commander in Chic is one I will reapply over and over- a lovely mink/brown/grey. The great thing about Sally Hansen polishes is the broad brush, one swipe and your good to go. 

Orly Colour Blast in Ruby Red is a new addition to my collection a shiny, vibrant red with a hint of shimmer and sparkle perfect for Christmas parties and one I know I will be wearing on Christmas day! This shade from Orly was so easy to apply, two coats and no chipping even after five days of wear. The easy grip bottle top is a great addition making it even easier to apply this ultra luxe shimmer polish. I can't wait to get my hands on some more from this range.

What are your favourite nail polishes for Autumn let me know in the comments!

Till next time,

                   Tori.

Empties Number 9!

Hello My Lovelies

Welcome back to another empties! These are all of the products I've been using over the summer, there are a few other bits and bobs to come in the coming weeks that I've almost used so keep an eye out for those in my next favourites.

These Superdrug micellar water wipes were on offer (as most my beauty purchases are!) and seeing as I hadn't tried any form of micellar water before I thought I'd give these a whirl. They were surprisingly good- the one thing I hate about a face wipe are ones that are dry as soon as you open the packet, these were fab and did the job! I'll definatley be repurchasing these next time I go into Superdrug.

Imperial Leather Tropical paradise body wash. If I'm honest I'm not a fan of these types of Body washes as I'm drawn to Body Shop or Femfresh as they are a little less harsh on my sensitive skin but I thought I'd give it a whirl- whilst it wasn't awful I probably won't be repurchasing this particular one. It was very greasy and slimy to apply and I felt like no amount of water would wash it off.

I've raved about the Superdrug body lotion on my blog before, they have unfortunately discontinued it and I'm gutted! 

Collection Green Apple lip balm was a freebie gift that came with a purchase a few months ago and I've not stopped using it since-I've actually already repurchased this one its that good!

Sure Aloe Vera motion sense deodorant is my favourite at the moment. It contains microcapsules that sit on the surface of the skin. As you move, underarm friction causes the capsules to burst, releasing immediate freshness. I have already purchased a couple of these when I saw them on offer in Boots.


What products have you been using up recently- let me know in the comments!

Treaclemoon Sugared Almond Tart Bath/Shower Gel Review & Giveaway!!

Hello My Lovelies

Right close your eyes, hey no peaking! Now I want you to imagine the scent of the sweetest, most sugary, yummiest sugared almond tart you've ever had in your entire life and then times that by 100.....! That's exactly how the Treaclemoon Sugared Almond Tart shower and bath gel smells and it's almost good enough to eat (though I wouldn't suggest you do that, it is shower gel after all!!). 

The vibrant purple beautiful sweet scented gel is a must for all your showers and baths, it's currently taking pride of place in mine and one that I reach for every day without fail. The extremely silky creamy gel lathers up into a gorgeous foam and makes my skin feel super soft and moisturised!

I absolutely adore the packaging of all the Treaclemoon products each tells a cute little story with a truly dreamy description and the illustration isn't half bad either! Other scents from Treaclemoon include coconut island, raspberry kiss, vanilla moment, lemonade days, ginger morning, marshmallow hearts and iced strawberry dream so a scent for everybody.

The lovely lot at Treaclemoon have also partnered up with BulliesOut a fab charity that works and provides information to individuals, schools, workplaces and local communities to support a vision whereby all young people are able to recognise their self-worth and potential and to flourish in caring environments! Treaclemoon are supporting BulliesOut with monthly donations and going to help raise further funds this year! More information can be found at http://bulliesout.com/

You can purchase all of the different scents from Tesco and Waitrose and the best bit they are priced at £2.49 each an utter bargain if you ask me!  

Treaclemoon are also offering you my beautiful readers a chance to win your own bottle of sugared almond tart body and shower gel (and why wouldn't you want one?!). All you have to do to win is follow my twitter @steaders83 and treaclemoon @treaclemoon_uk and RT the competition tweets!! The competition will end on Friday 18th September at 6:00pm BST and is for those that live in the U.K only.


Good Luck!


Till next time,
                   Tori.
