Natural collection body spray


Before I found these, I never really thought much of body sprays and always seemed to reach for perfume. But then when my friend gave me the apple and lime one, I just fell in love. So I just had to go to Boots and get more. I got vanilla and mango and papaya for £2 each. Then my granny for christmas got me a passionfruit kit and that had a travel size body spray. YAY!!!




 The vanilla body spray smells lovely and sweet. Apple and lime is a nice fresh clean smell, perfect for spring. Mango and papaya is an amazing tropical scent, this is my go to scent for summer. The passionfruit one is a beautiful fruity fragrance. Now we all know that body sprays don't last as long as perfumes. Sadly these are no exception but I wasn't really expecting it to, I mean it was only £2. But never the less I do really like them. They're lovely for when you don't want a really strong scent but still want a noticeable lovely fragrance that lasts for quite a while. Or just great to use to freshen up throughout the day.

Soap & glory A great kisser review

There are three flavour lip balms in this range, chocolate cherry, juicy peach and sweet coconut. Chocolate cherry and juicy peach are tinted, chocolate cherry is as the name suggests a cherry colour and juicy peach is a peachy pink. Sweet coconut is clear with just a hint of shimmer.

I have juicy peach which I love. I have been wearing it almost everyday for 3 weeks. I bought mine from boots for £5.


The packaging is lovely like all of the soap and glory packaging. It is a great size so I can just throw it in my handbag and use on the go.


 The smell is amazing it smells like an exotic peach punch. The colour is sheer but leaves a lovely natural colour. The texture is a little sticky if you dab it onto the lips, but I've found that if you smooth it onto the lips, then it isn't sticky at all. It also moisturises very well, of course i wouldn't say that it will cure severly chapped lips but it does keep your lips moisturised and keep them smooth and soft.

Chanel vitalumiere aqua foundation review

I am always on the hunt for the perfect foundation. The foundation that will look natural, glowing, good coverage, good colour match and won't break me out. So after reading many mixed review, I finally splurged and bought the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation for £31. My shade is B10 which is the lightest shade (as always.)


The bottle does look quite small compared to the average foundation bottle but I checked and it is 30ml like most foundations.The bottle is plastic which in my opinion is great because it means that I won't have to worry if I accidentally drop it.Even though a glass bottle does have that expensive feeling about it.




I have dry to normal skin and the foundation is great because it doesn't stick to any dry patches and make them more noticeable. I would say though that if you have oily skin you will have to set it with a powder or setting spray to make sure it lasts as long as you want it to. I don't use powder often but when I do I use Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. The staying power lasts for about 7 hours on me looking perfect but I can get away with 8 and that is without a powder or setting spray (with a primer.)


The consistency is very light and easy to blend. Chanel advertises it as a second skin effect, now if I had clearer skin I think i might even agree.Which brings me onto my other point, the coverage is light to medium coverage and it is buildable. But really after paying £31 I don't want to waste the product by building up the coverage. But this is a very nice everyday foundation, but if you have any blemishes I would say that you will probably need to use your concealer to fully cover the blemishes.

So basically the foundation is a great everyday foundation with spf 15 and it is my favourite foundation at the moment. But if you like a full coverage foundation and don't like feeling like your not wearing any makeup. Then I wouldn't really recommend this to you. But if you are looking for a light coverage foundation, that looks natural, that gives you a nice healthy glow and that covers minor imperfections then this is definitely the foundation for you. So I am still in search for that  perfect foundation but this just missed the mark. If only the coverage was a little higher then it would in my opinion be the perfect foundation.
