Beauty Haul - July

-
Hello everyone,

It's been awhile since I've done a beauty post, but I was recently reading some of my favourite blogs and I suddenly became inspired and wanted to do loads, So I thought I'd dedicate the whole month of July to beauty, I hope you guys don't mind, but I thought it would be nice to change things up a bit.

I wanted to kick beauty month off with a beauty haul. I've recently being loving doing my makeup and experimenting with new products.


As you all probably be aware, It was recently my 1 year post op check-up appointment, and it's sort of a tradition that my parents and I go to Meadow hall shopping afterwards.
I picked up a few things from meadow hall including the Nars sheer glow foundation and the ELF illuminating palette. The American brand ELF, is very new to the U.K., but from just looking at the stand and the products they have to offer, I have a feeling they are going to be very popular.



The Nars sheer glow foundation, has been a massive holy-grail product within the YouTube community, but I just never got round to trying it until now. I'm really excited to try this product, if you would like a review on the Nars sheer glow foundation please leave me a comment letting me know and I will gladly do that for you.

I also recently purchased the Maybelline dream velvet foundation, Again I've been wanting to try this one for awhile now but I just never picked it up until now. I'm excited to test this foundation out. It claims to be a soft-matte yet hydrating foundation, which is a pretty bold statement as matte foundations tend to be quite drying.

The next item I recently picked up is another product from Maybelline and it is actually the matching concealer to this foundation. I was a bit sceptical as to whether I should purchase this as it is a stick concealer, However it is marketed as a creamy formulation. I have never seen the Maybelline dream brightening creamy concealer before, so I don't know if this is a new product or I've just never noticed it.


The next product I wanted to talk to you all about, is the new mega volume miss baby roll mascara from L'Oréal. I'm yet to try this but the wand looks insane. I've watched a lot of my favourite youtubers rave about how good this mascara is, so I'm expecting good things.

And finally the last item I purchased, is actually for my hair. I have tried this products out once and I really liked the effect and results I saw. The Phil Smith super smooth keratin protein spray, helps to calm my frizz down and give my hair a more smooth appearance, which I love! based on first impressions, this product is great and definitely worth the buy!



If you would like me to do a separate review of one of these products, please feel free to let me know in the comments and I will be sure to do that for you.

Max Factor lip kit - review

Hi guys, Today I thought I'd do a review on an item I randomly came across whilst looking around the boots makeup stands. I was actually pretty excited when I saw that max factor had released there own take on lip kits. They had so many different colour options, not going to lie it was pretty overwhelming, I didn't know where to start, but the main thing that struck me about theses lip kits, was that they included a balm to lock in moisture, as there is nothing worse than having dry lips. I thought this was such a genius idea, and as a result I really wanted to test them out and let you guys know my thoughts and opinion on the Max Factor lip kits. - Max Factor lipfinity lip kit: spiritual 180 Not only is the colour beautiful, but the staying power and finish that this lip kit gives is amazing. The balm that comes with the liquid lipstick, is very moisturising and leaves the lips feeling really soft. As far as I've been aware, there is virtually no transfer with t

Testing Barry M!

Hello everyone, It was recently my birthday and I received some Barry M products. I have tried a few things from Barry M before, but it was a long time ago. So I thought I would do a review on the products I received to refresh my own memory and to see if Barry M is any good. On first impressions I really liked the packaging, it’s both unique and pretty yet functional. Barry M Unicorn primer drops - The unicorn primer drops really intrigued me I hadn’t tried anything like that before and I was pleasantly surprised. When I applied the drops they smelt like exotic fruits which I really like and they made my skin feel refreshed and a little tacky to help the makeup go on and stay put much nicer. Barry M Holographic lip topper - I have used the Barry m holographic lip topper a few times now and I really like it. Some holographic products are too holographic to even wear and look nice. However, this lip topper is just the right balance of holographic which I really like. It me

Hydrotherapy treatment for scoliosis

Hello everyone, Hydrotherapy also known as aquatic therapy, can be used to help influence body alignments.  There are 5 key features which help with the treatment of hydrotherapy, Buoyancy, the upwards pressure of the water eases stress on muscles and joints, soothing the aches and pains that scoliosis can cause. The warm water within a pool can help to relax the muscles and body. viscosity, the thickness of the water prompts gentle resistance from the muscles and turbalance can also help with scoliosis because when a body is placed within water it naturally moves in order to balance consequently excersising the muscles. The last factor in which contributes towards Hydrotherapy is known as Hydrostatic pressure which provides a natural relief for joint swelling. Hydrotherapy is good for scoliosis patients, as it can help with flexibility and movement it can also help to reduce the pain and aches within the muscles. Hydrotherapy is often suggested to patients who suffer with pain as
