Wilko Fruits Chocolate Orange Bath Foam

As it is December it's time for the Christmas themed beauty items to make an entrance and first up is Wilkinsons with the Fruits range.

#PuckerUpFriday: Velvet Rose - Essence XXXL Longlasting Lipgloss

Welcome to another Pucker Up Friday, I hope your enjoying them! This time I bring you an entry from Essence, and their XXL Long Lasting Matte lipgloss range.

Essence Stay Natural Concealer

For me under eye concealer needs to cover dark circles and also highlight those areas by brightening them up so I am always on the lookout for a concealer that matches my needs.

Kiss Prime of Your Life Primer - Smooth Light Reflecting Primer

I always have a nosy in my local Wilkinsons as you can sometimes find a great bargain, I was having a nosy round the skincare aisles when I spotted this, the Kiss Prime of your life primer so I thought I would give it a whirl.

Skin Therapy Tea Tree Overnight Serum

I am always on the lookout for something that is going to help my skin, especially when it comes to menacing breakouts, so while I was in my local Wilkinsons I noticed this and thought I would give it a try.

Essence All ABout Sunrise Palette

I love palettes, If I put all my palettes together they would fill a draw, so while in my local Wilkinsons I was browsing the Essence stand and saw the All About Sunrise palette, so what is it like.

Skin Therapy Soothing Eye Gel

I am always on the lookout for a good under eye cream, I'm hitting the age where the late nights are just not helping me anymore and I am needing extra pick me ups to get rid of the suitcases that have taken permanent residence under my eyes.

Essence I Heart Stage Eyeshadow Base

When Essence launched in the UK it was all over (well not every Wilkinson's store had the range but you catch my drift), it's only since last year that Essence has been rolled out nationwide through the Wilkinson stores.

Essence Sun Club Matt Bronzing Powder

Since Essence have become readily available in Wilkinsons I have found myself popping into my local Wilkinsons to see what they have to offer me. Let's welcome the sun club bronzer to the party.

March/ April Empties

Welcome to my March/April empties, just like yesterday's favourites post this is a long one - so sit back and relax with a drink and let's get started.

Weekly Round-Up #8 (23rd Feb 2015 - 28th Feb 2015)

Welcome to another Weekly Round-Up! I hope you are enjoying these so far.

#ManiMonday - Do You Speak Love? - Essence

Welcome to another red polish pick for #ManiMonday (I hope you're liking them so far)

Essence The Lash Curler Mascara - Black

Essence has been a budget favourite and with it just being released nationwide in Wilkinsons stores the popularity of the brand grew. 

Wilkinson's Brushes

Wilkinson's last year had a massive overhaul of their beauty section in stores, this included adding Essence stands to the majority of stores and then they overhauled their brush range.

Essence Eyeliner Pen

Ever since using the Benefit They're Real pen it has given me a confidence boost to use liquid eyeliner. When Essence launched in the UK it was only at a select amount of Wilko stores in the UK, but just recently they have launched the brand nationwide so when I walked into my local Wilkinson's I had to stock up. One of the products I bought was their eyeliner pen and I will admit it is love.

When applying to the lids the pen doesn't drag and allows for a good application of eyeliner to the lids, it also has great staying power and I can say that it lasts really well throughout the day.

The pointed nib allows for precise application of a fine line or apply using the side of the nib and you have a thick line. Now as a liquid eyeliner novice I found this to be a great product to use and for such a cheap price it didn't break the bank at £2.50 (it can be found on the Wilkinson's website here).

Thanks for tuning in

Wilkinson's Tangy Rhubarb Shower Cream

I love a good shower gel especially one that smells gorgeous, and this one ticks all the boxes, it smells of the sweets Rhubarb and Custard, and it smells divine, I seriously could sit and smell it all day it is that good,

The texture of the shower cream is very runny, so be careful when you open it as it is likely to go everywhere. The shower gel lathers up well and the scent is so strong that it fills the bathroom, and you really don't need much to make it lather up.

This has joined the ranks as one of my favourite shower gels on smell only.

Thanks for tuning in.

March Favourites

Welcome to another edition of my monthly favourites, as you can see there isn't many this month, and there is a non beauty related item in there.

BEAUTY UK EYE PRIME FX EYESHADOW PRIMER
This has at the moment become my holy grail of eyeshadow primer, I put this on and my eyeshadow stayed in place with no creasing whatsoever for over 16 hours, it's true, it's love.

BOTANICS ROSEWATER TONING SPRITZ
This is absolutely lovely on the skin and just smells amazing, it really does do wonders for my skin, but when spraying be careful you don't inhale more than you use on your skin.

WILKINSONS RHUBARB SHOWER CREAM
I am in love with this shower creme and it is mainly because of the smell, to me it smells like the rhubarb and custard boiled sweets, it smells so yummy.

WATER IN A BOX
I spotted this in the local pound shop (Poundland, I think), I thought the idea was quite a good one. We are all now becoming responsible for reducing the amount of rubbish we send to landfill and increasing the amount that we can recycle.
With this the box everything is recyclable so once you've drunk it you just put it in to recycle.

SEVENTEEN VA VA VOOM MASCARA
This mascara was a complete surprise to me, I picked this out of my mascara pot as a new mascara to try, and when I opened it I couldn't believe the size of the brush

BOURJOIS RADIANCE REVEAL HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION - LIGHT VANILLA
This is a great foundation, the colour matches my skin really well, and I never would have believed I would write or even say this it smells so fruity (that will probably be the fruit therapy that is in there). One of my favourites so far this year.

Thanks for tuning in
