Hoola on the Left - Urban Decay Beached Bronzer on the Right.

I was gifted both of these bronzers for my birthday and I'm in love with both of them. 

I have used the Benefit Hoola bronzer before and I used every bit of it! My mum got me the smaller size Hoola bronzer which is super cute but inconvenient, you can't really use a big fluffy brush with it. The perfect brush for it is the Real Techniques 301. Hoola is more brown-y toned than the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer, it works as a good contour colour for me. The smaller Hoola works out at around £10 and the bigger one works out at around £23.

I originally asked for the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer because I loved the packaging, always a big part when I'm online shopping for Make-Up. It also has a big mirror in, which is always a plus. I was using this to contour but I realised I was going to use it all up within a few months and I really didn't want that to happen! So I now use it to bronze up my face and neck/chest. I'm extremely pale (which I've mentioned before) and this seems to give me that 'colour' I need. I love the size of this product, It's big enough to use a big fluffy brush and that's what I find best to give my skin some colour. This product was £20.

I recommend both bronzers for different reasons. Hoola for the pricing of the smaller one, (it has a small mirror in so you could throw it in your bag for on-the-go) but Urban Decay for the product as a whole. The packaging might of pulled it out of the bag for the Beached Bronzer.

If you've tried either of these products, let me know what you like about both of them!

I've been seeing a lot of different reviews about this duo so I thought i'd do a first impressions post on it! 

I got this duo today after going back and forth deciding if I should buy it or not and I finally said "Stuff it!" and got them. I tried to do a video of me using both of these products but I failed. No tripod = No Video. I noticed that the mascara added a ton of length to my lashes, but in my opinion I prefer Bad Gal by Benefit. Bad Gal gives me a lot more volume and that is what I like in a mascara. 

I wear eyeliner every time I put my make-up on, I feel plain without it. So again, I thought I'd give the new push-up liner a go. I thought at first I wouldn't like it and I wouldn't get on with the applicator.. but I love it, I don't think I'm going to go back to my old eyeliner. I've seen mixed reviews about how people don't like the applicator or how it pushes out too much eyeliner but I believe you just have to persevere and if you still don't like it then its not for you. I do agree that it pushes out too much of the product but I wipe the product on my hand and then dip the applicator into it instead of pushing up more product. 

Have you tried this duo? Let me know your first impression of them!

I'm pretty late on the favourites train this month but hey! better late than never. These couple of things I've picked out this month have been my go-to or have stood out and taken the title of my favourites (for this month, atleast). In this months favourites theres a couple beauty/hair products, a book, a youtuber and a feel good song!

The Fault in Our Stars By John Green -  I can't say a bad word about this book, I've been reading it for the past couple of months and last month I finally finished it. It's one of those books you never want to end. I cried, I smiled, I got mad and I got excited. I'm not going to spoil the book for you, but believe me when I say you'll love it! I can't wait for the film to be released here in the UK. I'll be there the day its out.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer - I have a love hate relationship with this product. Some months I'll love it, Some months I wont. I think it's a really good contouring colour but just for some bronzing I don't particularly like it (maybe because I'm very pale and any colour makes me look orange). 

Soap and Glory Righteous Butter - This product is a god send!! Literally. It's such a good moisturiser. I use this everyday, I'm so glad I listened to the recommendations and gave into the hype!

V05 Refresh Me Quick - I picked up this product as it was on a really cheap deal in Superdrug. Its basically dry hair shampoo with a hint of hair spray hold to it. It's really good for people with long hair as it gives you that "umph!" you need. The smell isn't like any regular dry hair shampoo, it's a lot nicer. If you ever get the chance to try it, do so!

L'oreal Paris Matt&Messy - Hands down the best Salt Spray I've ever used. It gives your hair that beachy look near enough right away. 

Favourite Youtuber this month - My favourite Youtuber this month has to be Zoe aka Zoella. I love her, shes always been my favourite youtuber but this past month she's really stood out from the rest for me. Check her out!

Favourite Song this month - Birthday by Katy Perry. I love Katy Perry so much, she's one of those artists you can listen to and instantly relate to her songs. I heard this song on Capital FM for the first time and loved it. So of course I had to Youtube it.. The video is the best thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to sing it on my birthday!
