068 : Zoella Tutti Fruity

Aloha! It's been suuuch a long time since I last updated, over a month. I've had so much going on lately, my little boy lost his first ever tooth (he cried!), aaand I got into uni! I'm super excited about it and get wait to get started, I'll be studying Mental Health Nursing and in three years time I'll be a qualified Mental Health Nurse, if anyone has any tips on living on a student budget, that'd be super helpful!

Anyway, I was really excited to see the lovely Zoe Sugg aka Zoella was bringing out a new beauty range called Tutti Fruity, the products are the same as her first range but with a different scent with the exception of the Kissy Missy lip balm which is a completely new prdocut to the range, plus two stunning new beauty bags! available in most Superdrug stores and online. My local Superdrug store is really small and I was surprised to see they stocked the Tutti Frutti range, but I picked up a few bits and I love them.




So the first product that caught my eye was Let's Spritz, I absolutely loved the fragrance from Zoe's first collection and I love this even more, the bottle is gorgeous, the lace detailing on the back of it is just so cute and very much Zoe, the lid is slightly different to the previous fragrance, it's still metallic but a super pretty shade of blue with adorable polka dots! It's perfect for keeping in your handbag for a little freshen up, ever since I got this I haven't actually used any of my other perfumes. It smells so, so fresh and is really light and summery, the scent itself is quite hard to describe other than it is really tutti fruity! It's just so pretty and so feminine, plus at £8 it's so affordable you can buy it over and over! Let's Spritz is really long lasting too and quite a heavy scent, so you smell amazing all day, body mists are generally quite lightly scented but this is a perfect alternative to a perfume.


Foam Sweet Foam has to be my favourite product that I picked up, I'm a sucker for anything that smells incredible and looks good in my bathroom and Foam Sweet Foam ticks all the boxes. Plus, I love the name, it's just too cute. So, this is a shower gel, but my house doesn't actually have a shower (I know, right?!), so I use this in the bath as a bubble bath and to wash myself with. It bubbles up in the bath like a regular bubble bath would, so it's really multi-purpose, but it just smells amazing. I honestly cannot get enough of the scent of the Tutti Fruity range, all of the products carry the same scent and it is divine, literally good enough to eat. A little niggle that I have with bathing products is that some of them smell amazing in the bottle but when you get out of the bath your skin doesn't smell of anything, it's something I really don't like, but this makes your skin smell so beautiful. Even my boyfriend noticed which is unusual for him! I stocked up on these from Feel Unique, be rude not to when it's only £3.50 right? It's slightly more expensive than a regular shower gel, but the price difference isn't massive and it's most definitely worth it!


For anyone that regularly reads my blog, you'll know how much I love a body scrub. It's one product that I just couldn't live without. Scrubbing Me Softly comes in a really cute little tub with a yellow lid and matching polka dots, it's just as cute as the other products in the Tutti Fruity range and smells just as good. I've been using the Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream but I have to say I much prefer this, it's definitely one to rival high end brand exfoliators, it leaves my skin so soft and so smooth and for anyone thats used the Clinique Sparkle Skin which smells really minty and slightly like mouthwash or toothpaste, I much prefer the scent of Scrubbing Me Softly!

Zoe has done amazingly with the Tutti Fruity range and it's definitely one I'd purchase over and over, (definitely have my peepers on the beauty bags and Kissy Missy!) have you guys tried anything from the Tutti Fruity collection? What do you think?

059 : Review - Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub



I absolutely love Lush. I adore all their products (Rose Jam Bubbleroon anyone?), the sweet scents and seeing my sons cooing over swirls of gorgeous colours and glitter in bowls of warm water. I recently picked up the Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub on a bit of a whim, I actually went in for bath bombs but realised it's all I ever buy from there. I am besotted with this product, literally besotted. I've used a lot of different body scrubs over the years, I just love having super soft smooth skin and Rub Rub Rub definitely delivers. I use this on my legs before getting the bath, rubbing a generous amount of this sea salty goodness in and smoothing it all over. It's quite abrasive but once its washed off, my legs feel utterly divine and smell absolutely delicious. The only qualm I've ever had with body scrubs is that they don't keep you smooth and exfoliated for days afterwards. But this does. My skin has never been so beautifully soft, with no real need to moisturise afterwards. I'd buy this again, again and again. Plus, you can use it on your hair too. Multifuctional products are always a winner in my book! Whats your favourite Lush product?!

054 : July Favourites

Hey beauts, long time no see! I'm so sorry for the lack of updates the last week, unfortunately life got in the way! I've been trying to curb my spending slightly this month as my youngest son turns 4 in a couple of weeks (eek!) - but I've put together a favourites post from July, there was a lot of products I loved last month and it was so hard choosing  my absolute faves!


I can never get enough of moisturisers and when I heard The Body Shop were adding to their vitamin E range with this ultra boost 'Sorbet' - I just had to give it a whirl! This moisturiser is unlike any other that I've used, its ultra light, yet still creamy. It feels beautifully fresh on the skin and is super refreshing, plus it smells like green tea. Delish! On the subject of lovely scents, Marc Jacobs new addition to the Daisy family somehow made its way home with me, it was an impulse buy and it did break the bank slightly. I'll be honest, I would have bought it just for the bottle even if it smelled like a camels rear end, but fortunately it doesn't. Daisy Dream is a flirty, floral & feminine scent which I simply cannot get enough of! For my locks I've been using Percy & Reeds Bodifying Cream, which retails at £14, I picked it up for £5 in TK Maxx! I love it so much, my hair is usually quite flat and lifeless after being washed, but an almond sized drop of these onto damp hair and a good old blow dry and its full of body, with a nice healthy shine. TK Maxx is an absolute diamond for high-end bargain beauty products!

When it comes into the Summer months, I find my skin gets quite tired and feels almost malnourished. I've been using Vichy's Thermal Spa Water spray for a while now and I always keep it in my handbag for a little spritz. It's a really refreshing toner, especially for the warmer months, plus it doubles up as a toner too! For shaving my legs, I've been using Lush's D'Fluff, which I absolutely adore, I have quite sensitive skin, especially on my legs, suffering with eczema and dermatitis, D'Fluff is a light, moussey, strawberry scented gem, the perfect bathtime companion. Leaving skin ultra soft and silky. 

I've been wearing my hair up tons lately, its getting quite long and its nice just to keep it out of the way when it's so hot outside. I always opt for a messy bun, tying my hair up into a backcombed ponytail, wrapping it into a bun and popping a bun garland around it. These bun garlands were from New Look, the magenta one in the middle was from Primark for a teeny £2! My nails have been adorned with Essie's Lapiz of Luxury, I never have blue nails but I've fallen in love with this shade, its the perfect mix of a light and bright blue, giving outfits a gorgeous pop of colour. On my lips I've been wearing the Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfectors in shades 04 & 05. Shade 04 is a gorgeous light pearly pink, with shade 05 being a deeper, more 'my lips but better' shade. These are the perfect mixture of gloss and balm and feel lovely and soft to apply. I've really been loving Cliniques Cheek Pops too, not only do they look absolutely beautiful, the floral design is just far too cute, they apply really nicely and are long lasting - shame all the shades are so gorgeous - could be a potential bank breaker!

Back to Vitamin E, I've been trying to double cleanse as often as I can, sometimes just a single cleansing session doesn't quite feel enough and I just don't feel as clean as I'd like to, after applying cleanser and washing it off with a muslin cloth, I've been using the Body Shops Vitamin E Cream Exfoliator, it's absolutely gorgeous, smells divine and leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean and polished!


 Finally, my best friend, Samantha (on the right), Samantha has been an incredible friend over the last 13 years, but especially so in the last month. Between us we've been through things most 25 year olds should never have to experience, but we both know we have each others backs. Samantha is absolutely irreplaceable and I love her to the moon & back. Having a best friend who is understanding and supportive of everything you do in life is all you could ever ask for. Thank you <3
