Review- Sephora Crayon Jumbo 12H

 

 

 

On my recent-ish trip to Barcelona I picked up these beauties, The Sephora Crayon Jumbo 12H. The name is a little confusing but basically they are eye shadow pencils! I love anything quick and easy and these fit the bill perfectly.

The colours I picked up where Kaki, you guessed it the beautiful dark green, Taupe, the brown-y shimmery shade and Beige, the shimmery neutral light gold. When I buy make up I get so overwhelmed with the choice I always doubt my decision as soon as I have bought it! I'm like it with foundation, lipstick, everything, but with these I'm pretty please with! The only thing is I wish I got more... like a lovely dark bronze...!

The product themselves apply to the eyelid in a really smooth and seamless way. I apply with the crayon end and then gently buff out a little with a brush. I love the fact its so easy to line your bottom lashes with, just in one swipe and it really finished the look off.

You can wear alone but I have been recently using them as a base for some of my power eye shadows and adding a quick line of brown kolh pencil along the bottom as well as the crayon.

You can apply to much of these quite easily and they go all clogged up which is annoying, but I am trying to use a lighter hand when using them and they seem to be applying better. I really like the creamy soft formula and they are really gentle on my sensitive eyes. They are so long wearing even without an eye shadow primer and they do not crease one bit from my experience!

I assume you would sharpen them like any other eye pencil and hopefully they sharpen well as I am yet to try.

Overall I'm totally made up with these eye shadow crayons and I would defo purchase some again when I'm near a Sephora. We just need one or two over in the UK, but that might be a bit lethal! Us bloggers would all be very very poor!

Have you tried these eye shadow crayons?
What Sephora products are your faves?

WILATM- What I'm loving at the Mo #3

Big from Lush- This shampoo is soooo gorgeous!! I love the feeling of the salt grains on my scalp it makes my hair feel really clean and fresh. The smell of it is amazing and it leaves my hair so nice and bouncy! RESULT!!

Christmas Crafts- I'm totally over excited about Christmas already, I'm not allowed to be in full on Christmas mode until after Russ's Birthday(21st Oct) and Halloween so as from 1st November I'm in full on Christmas mode. BUT I seemed to have sneaked it in bit in early by starting some Christmas crafts. I told everyone I started early as they might not have been done for Christmas! So watch this space for some Christmas craft posts!

Miss Budget Beauty- I'm kind of obsessed with all of Mikhila's blogs and Youtube channels. If I am awake early or having a lye in with a cup of tea or in the bath I always catch up on what I have missed. I am so pleased she won a Cosmo blog award to best beauty blog as she is the BEST! defo check her out if you haven't. 

My new Phone Case- I was scrolling down my Instgram feed the other day and I came across this cute bunny phone case, I love little bunny rabbits so much I tagged Russ in it as I thought it was so cute. Clue a few days on and Russ said he had a present for me and to my delight he had bought me the case! I did not expect this at all! He is such a sweet lovely fiancé! I'm totally loving it and keep awwwing at the the cute little dressed up bunnies! This is the site he got it from! Go Go Go get one too!! 

What have you been loving recently?!

Review- Dead Sea Spa Magik Pro Cleanser and Toner

I love Skincare and anything new I'm all over it, when I received these two new products I was very excited to open them and start using. They came at the right time really as I had a stinker of a cold and feeling very sorry for myself so ONE they cheered me up and TWO they were perfect for my chapped sore nose (from too much nose blowing) and the my dehydrated forehead from my recent plane ride to Barcelona...

I have tried lots of differnet cleansers and ways to remove my make up and I always go right back to the basics of a creamy cleanser... and the Pro Cleanser fits the bill perfectly. It's creamy, very silky, rich and perfect for sensitive skin. There is no perfumed scent to this just a really fresh and bright smell (can a smell be bright?!).

Both products contain Dead Sea minerals, plant extracts and vitamin E and B5, they contain no parabens either and Dead sea Spa Magik say "they work together to give you visible and immediate results on fine lines, quality of skin and radiance". I most definitely have seem my skin look more radiant since using these.

The cleanser was perfect for my very sore nose and there was next to no stinging which is what I was worried about from other products in the past when having a cold. It removed my make up really well with just a walnut sized amount I applied and massaged it into my face and neck. I like to do a double cleanse and this cleanser really gave my skin a gentle but deep cleanse. It left it looking and feeling fresh, clean and hydrated.

 

The toner... I LOVE the toner. After my double cleanse I poured a little out onto a cotton pad and whizzed it over my face. Toning is such an important step which from being a therapist, I know lots of people seem to forget! The Pro-Toner is very gentle and again is does not have a  over perfumed smell. My poor little chapped nose didn't not sting one bit! My skin felt cool and refreshed after using this and ready for moisturising.

I love the sleek silver and white packaging and I would most definitely clock the shiny silver box sitting on a shelf like a magpie on it's birthday! I think I would have preferred a pump bottle on the cleanser but that's just me being fussy and lazy.

I'm really impressed with this cleansing duo and they have found a definite home right next too my bathroom sink. My skin has become a lot calmer even with a few breakout here and there, I love the fact they are so gentle and they really hydrated my dehydrated skin.

If you wish to try these you can do so by visiting Shop For Spa's BRAND NEW website! and can pick these both up for £13.96 each!!

What is your go to cleanser?
have you tried any Dead Sea Spa Magik products?

WILATM- What I'm Loving At The Mo #2

Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream

I have seen these on countless beauty blogs and I didn't think I needed them in my life.... Until I saw them half price in Wilko's new beauty section sale! They had to me mine as first sniff! They smell gorgeous, so sweet and vanilla-ry I could eat them right up! The colours I got were cotton candy and fairy cake. I have been a little obessed with them at the mo, they go with most outfits and eye make up looks. I kinda like the fact they are matte. as they look a bit more subtle and last for ages when they are on! 

Autumn is here 

I love the idea of summer and the fact the days seem longer as they are sunnier but realistically I never turnout to be the beautiful summer goddess I want to be! But Hello Autumn, I'm welcoming you back with open arms along with everything you bring, cosy boots, knitwear and Halloween!

Jaffa Cakes

I'm not sure what has got me back into them but I have been eating them what seems to be non-stop! The yummy dark choc, tangy orange and oh so soft cakey goodness! They are a winner in my eyes!

The Great British Bake Off 

I have always loved this program it seems from my timehop feed! It's the mix of yummy cakes, suspence of the possible misshaps, the comedic value of Mel and Sue presenting and the queen of baking herself Mary Berry! I'm not a massive Paul fan he's cool but not as cool as Mary! But who will win this series, my money's on one of the guys but I can put my finger on who! 

What you you currently obbessed with!? 

Bye for now

What's In My Shower

I took these photos for this post a few weeks ago but never got round to writing it, time really does just run away from me, so here goes! 

I'm always interested in what sort of products people use in there daily lives, nice quick and easy ones, so here is what's in my shower at the mo...

I find showers so quick and easy and I love how they really wake you up in the mornings, I do have baths but not that often. I find them really relaxing and I just love a Lush bath bomb but I often over heat in the bath and don't enjoy it as much as a quick refreshing shower! As you can see I have a nice mix of products and I like to change them up fairly quickly.

First off hair care

Lush Shampoo Bar- New- I love this shampoo bar it is meant to stimulate your hair growth, hence there is lots of cinnamon in it so it smells pretty nice! I have tried one other of these bars befores and wasn't too impressed with the lather of it but this one is so different I just rub it a few times over my hair and it makes a crazy amont of bubbles. My hair feels so clean after using it and it's really handy being in a bar as it's not another bottle clogging up the shelving, plus it's great for hand luggage holidays as it's not a liquid, RESULT! I will defo invest in another one again, I like to interchange it with my other shampoos (totally loving Lush's Big too at the mo!).

Dead Sea Spa Magik Mineral Shampoo- I took this on a recent weekend away so I'm just using it up really. I like the fact you again get a great lather from this shampoo and you only need a small amont. It's great of a dry, sensitive scalp too.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Hair Magik Serum- This has to be one of my favourite hair care products of all time. I know I have spoken about this before in my empties post as a hair styling products but I love using it as a conditioner for the length of my hair aw well. You only need a small amont and it really smooths and softens your hair. IN LOVE! 

Dead Sea Spa Magik Conditioning Scalp Mud- I use hair serum on the length and this amazing scalp mud on you guessed it my scalp! The smell is not that great, but the clue is in the name, Mud! This really calms down my itchy scalp and I'm really impressed with it. I love the fact it's in an easy to squzze tube, really handy for in the shower.

Soap and Glory The Scrub of Your Life- I got a few of these for Christmas last year in the lovely Soap and Glory gift packs. It's a quick and easy scrub and perfect for use in the shower. It's not harsh feeling but it's does the job and leaves your skin feeling super soft.

Lush-The Olive Branch shower gel- I'm not too fussy at all with shower gel, I got given this in a gift set earlier in the year. It seems quite runny so I often use a bit too much. It has a nice, not over powering smell and it leaves my skin really soft. 

Neutrogenia Visibly Clear Pore and Shine Daily Wash- WOW what a long name! I like to use face washes in the morning and I struggle to find one I realllllly like and that does the job of deep Cleasning but not strip my oily skin. This one does the job and has a really nice tangerine scent. I do fine the green colour is a little strange though. To get a good foam you have to use a fair amont of water, which of course isn't a major problem when showering! I'm not blown away with this product but it cleanses and freshens my face well. 

What do you use in the shower daily?

Do you have a fave face wash you can recommend to me?

Bye for now

September Goals

Literally how quick has this year gone? Like SO fast! This time of year after a lovely Summer I long for all things wintery like scarves, boots, long cold walks, stew and dumplings, hot chocolate and CHRISTMAS! I like to think I'm a very christmasy person and I think my friends will agree, but enough of Christmas it is only still September.

September is a weird month it always feels to me a little like January what with the new school term and many people off to uni or collage. It's the month of new starts and speaking of new starts every month I try and have a goal or something I want to achieve, I normally do this in my head or in a pretty little note book but this month I feel brave enough to share then with you and to inspire you. Sometimes I do not for-fill these goals but sometimes I do. Some take a little more work and some are more an on going thing.

The following are my September Goals BTW is anyone else sing 'Thats my goal' by once X Factor winner Shane Ward? No? Ok just me then!

To get Organised
I like to think I'm a pretty organised person and I am to an extent but there a just a few things I need to pick my feet up on. Like writing down stuff in my diary, Santa got you it Hannah so dam well use it! Plus its pretty and pink and you will look really cool and intelligent using it even though it only has lunch dates, days off and cinema trips jotted down in not posh meetings and conference calls but anyway! Also i need to orangise my thoughts and ideas and jott them down as soon as I think about them, in a handy pretty note book *aww*.

Get Moving
I was gonna name this get fit then i released that was never gonna happen. I want to get motivated and do a work out DVD twice a week. I already did one this morning!

Keep on Blogging
I love my little blog and it really has in-ritched my life but I need to make more time for it. Instead of sitting on my bum as soon as I get home from work staring into space or checking Facebook for the ten millionth time a day, I want to be on the computer and catching up with the bloggersphere. I need to get down with the bloggers chats and I need to get commenting on more of the lovely blogs I read!

Stay Positive and Don't Worry
I normally am a happy person but every now and again I get in a deep dark hold for a few days and I find it hard to shake it off. Every girl has probably been there and no how I feel but these feeling are starting to happen more and more and I do not like them one bit. I need to stay happy Hannah and fill my life with the things I enjoy and the people I love not the opposite that's what makes me so sad. You can't change the people in your life as they are not going away but you can change how they effect you. I like to look on the bright side of life and I need to keep that at the fore-front of my mind AT ALL times!!

Stay Calm
I never use to get anxious when I was younger but now I'm getting anxious a lot, lot more. This is kind of a on-going goal to beat it and get back to being the real Hannah but I'm trying. If you have anxiety you will defo now where I'm coming from and totally understand how I'm feeling. The feeling is horrid and trying to shake it off feels impossible, it ruins days and evenings of my life and I hate it. A lot of situations I'm fine with but there are a certain few I just can't cope with, it looks and sounds pathetic to the on looker who doesn't understand but it really is hard when your suffering.

Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from everyones favorite Pinterest to inspire you some more (I do love a quote),

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there are my goals for September, let see how I go and I hope I have inspired you to set a few goals for your self. Please do comment below if I have.
