Zoella Beauty Jelly & Gelato Review!

 

Zoe Sugg (aka Zoella) has just released her new range in Zoella Beauty called Jelly and Gelato and it is officially the best thing on this planet! With every item costing under £6, Zoe has created the ultimate summer beauty essentials range that every young girl is in need of right now. I am so obsessed with the scent of these products. Zoe describes them as being an elderflower and cream scent, and to me that doesn't really say much as I'm not really a beauty scent connoisseur, but....I can tell you that they smell absolutely amazing! They are a perfect blend of fruity, sweet, and fresh, making for the perfect summer scent. Another thing I love about these are the packaging. They are all in lovely pastel shades that fit perfectly with her other ranges. They are mainly in a pale blue, peach and pastel pink shade and they are sooo cute!

 

Shower Shake - £4.50

The Shower Shake has by far the best packaging, with the bottle looking exactly like a milkshake! Even a straw included! It is so cute and promises to be a luxuriously moisturising body wash. It carries the same amazing scent as all the products and makes your skin smell absolutely amazing, as well as super soft.

Shower Sauce - £3.75

The shower sauce is just a typical body wash, perfect for travelling and again smelling absolutely delicious. This is a summer staple and you definitely won't regret this.


Body Pudding - £6.00

This is the ultimate body cream and works soooo soo well. I tried it for the first time today and it is sooo gorgeous. The scent is fresh and fruity and it makes your skin super soft. It has tiny little exfoliating beads in it that help make your skin the smoothest it can be and it is this beautiful pale pink shade.

Gelat'Eau Body Mist - £6.00

I always carry a Zoella Body Mist in my bag with me and I am so pleased she has released another one because these are amazing. They are so strong for a body mist and the scent lasts pretty much all day. This one smells absolutely amazing and I think it is my favourite scent out of all the body mists Zoella has released. And the packaging is soooo cute!

Cream Body Scrub - £6.00

This is such an incredible product. It applies in the shower with wet skin and you just massage it in and the exfoliating scrub lathers into a creamy amazing smelling product and it works wonders! It makes your skin silky smooth, perfect for summer and looks exactly like a mango sorbet!

As you can see Zoe's new range is so cute and I can promise they all smell sooo amazing! Definitely some must haves for summer and being so affordable, you have no excuse! They are available at Superdrug, online and in-store, and also on Feelunique.com.

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer - Review!

The Two Faced Chocolate Soleil has quickly become my new favourite bronzer. I am literally wearing it every day of the week! It is a matte bronzer that is perfect for contouring or for using as a light bronzer all over the face. I purchased mine from Sephora and it retails for £25 ($33). My favourite part about this bronzer is firstly that it is completely matte. It has taken me so long to fall in love with a matte bronzer as they always end up being either really grey and cool toned, or way too orange. This one is the perfect shade for me with a warm tone to it, without looking too muddy on the skin (I am in the shade medium/deep if anyone is curious). Secondly, as the name may suggest it smells so strongly of chocolate which is rare for makeup products, but I absolutely love this aspect of it....obviously! Thirdly, it is a really blendable bronzer, making it really easy to blend for a natural contour. I would really recommend this product for anyone looking for a really great matte bronzer. I know it is a little pricey but I promise you it is definitely worth it!

Revlon Photoready Powder - Review

The Revlon Photoready powder has quickly become one of my favourite pressed powders. I can't believe that it has taken me this long to try it out as it has been a makeup lovers favourite for years. What I love most about this powder is that it does give you a little bit of coverage, resulting in a lovely flawless finish to your skin. I have religiously used my Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder for the past 5 years and didn't think that anything could ever top it. This is just as good as the Rimmel powder in terms of lasting powder; it does keep me matte all day long which is great. I can't believe I am saying this but I do think it is slightly better due to the coverage. That is saying a lot seeing as I haven't touched another powder ever since I started wearing makeup! The shade I am using is light/medium which is perfect for me. It doesn't leave you cakey, it just glides across your skin in a lovely silky way. This powder retails for £11.29 in Boots which is quite a lot compared to the Rimmel powder, but compared to some higher end powders it is definitely better value for money. Overall, I would definitely recommend this powder as it is long-lasting, gives a flawless finish, and isn't cakey.

Top 5 Bronzers

Summer is fast approaching, although it may not always feel like it here in the UK. One of the top trends for summer every year is having bronzed, glowy skin so I have gathered my top 5 favourite bronzers that you guys can try out, although I am sure most of these are already in your makeup kits. 

NARS Bronzing Powder - Laguna

This is a really lovely natural bronzer; a cult favourite. The shade Laguna is their most popular as it has a very subtle warm tone to it, not being too orange which is perfect if you want a natural sun-kissed look. You can pick this up here at Feel Unique for £28. 

Benefit Bronzer - Hoola 

Another popular bronzer is the Hoola bronzer by Benefit. This is a lot warmer than the Laguna bronzer by NARS, but still just as natural. It isn't too pigmented which means you can use it without worrying that you are going to turn into an oompa loompa. No one wants that! You can pick this up here at Boots for £23.50. 

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder - Medium/Dark 52

This is a bronzer that I use pretty much everyday. It is so natural and not too orange either which is perfect for light contouring. It has tiny golden shimmers in it which make it perfect for a natural sun-kissed summer look. You can pick it up here at Boots for £7.99. 

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer

This is very similar to the Hoola Bronzer by Benefit in terms of the shade but it is a little bit more pigmented which is nice if you are after a more bronzed look. When you have a tan, this will look great but for you paler skinned girls, this may be a little bit too strong, so I would suggest the NARS one. You can pick this up here at Boots for £33.

L'Oreal Paris Glam Bronze Terra Bronzer

The last bronzer I want to mention is the L'Oreal Terra Bronzer. This is another really affordable bronzer that gives a lovely natural glow to the skin. It's not too orange and is also pretty much matte which makes it perfect for contouring lightly on the skin. It is a good overall bronzer that is perfect for any beginners out there. You can pick this up here at Boots for £12.99.

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - Review

Today, I thought I would review my new favourite mascara, the Benefit Roller Lash. I absolutely LOVE this mascara, it is probably the best one I have ever used. It was released last year and has quickly become a makeup phenomenon. It prides itself on being the first mascara that curls your lashes for you, without the need of using an eyelash curler beforehand. My lashes are already pretty curly, as you will see below, but if you have quite short or straight lashes, you need to try this ASAP.

From these statistics you can see that a lot of people agree with me about how great this mascara is. It lengthens, curls and adds volume to your lashes without looking clumpy at all. Plus, it is the first mascara that I have found that I can keep on all day without it transferring to either my upper lid or under my eyes. Usually by the end of the day I will look like a panda, with a bunch of mascara all smudged underneath my eye, but this mascara doesn't do that at all. It makes my eyes look massive with how much it lengthens and curls the lashes and I am always getting compliments on them whenever I use this mascara. 

The applicator has a hook 'n' roll brush which means that the wand actually has little hooks that you can see that will lift and curl your lashes. The entire mascara, including the packaging, is inspired by hair rollers and this is what the wand was made like. It is such an amazing mechanism that I think all other brands are now going to try and achieve. 

According to the packaging the formula contains a setting agent that gives it high staying power and also contains a conditioning ingredient that will treat and soften your lashes. This also stops it from clumping and looking too thick; it just glides on so perfectly and means that you can apply many coats really quickly. I used to spend at least five minutes applying coat after coat of mascara, but now I can get the same lengthening effect after just two coats and in a third of the time. 

Excuse the fact that I look somewhat cross-eyed in these photos, I was trying to look straight ahead as the lens haha. In the top picture you can see a before shot. You can see that my lashes are quite curly and long already, but I like them to look a lot longer. The second and third picture was taken after a couple of coats of the mascara and you can really see the difference. My lashes are so much longer and it actually looks as though I have more lashes as well, which is amazing. The mascara has also thickened up my lash line and darkened my lashes and overall, just gives a really incredible result. 

I will really recommend this mascara to you all, I absolutely love it and think that the curling power is insane. If you have straight lashes and are tired of constantly pinching yourself with an eyelash curler then please give this a try! You won't be disappointed.
