Top 3 eye creams | ♥
I think it's sooo important to have a great eye cream that really works! So here are my top 3 that I think are the best!
Benefit it's potent! Eye cream - £25.50 for 14.2g (benefitcosmetics.co.uk)
Clinique superdefense SPF 20 age defense eye cream - £30 for 15ml (clinique.co.uk)
Balance me extra care wonder eye cream - £11 for 7ml or £20 for 15ml (balanceme.co.uk)
I know this seems expensive for an eye cream, but the one I have (3g pot) which I got in a Birchbox has lasted me for ages and I still have loads left! It's super hydrating & is great at fading dark circles. I just apply a tiny bit with my ring fingers and dab it right round my eyes.
I got this tiny tube as a free sample when I was buying other things from Clinique & I'm so glad that I did. It is totally amazing and you can feel how hydrating it is as soon as you apply it, I think that it has an instant brightening effect on my eyes and feels amazingly hydrating for ages even after applying make-up. At £30 it is a bit expensive but the tiny tube I have had lasted me about 2 months!
I had never heard of this brand before I got this eye cream (in a Birchbox as usual♥!) but I love it and will definitely be trying more things from the brand! This eye cream feels like it instantly helps relieve tired eyes. It's the only eye cream I've ever had that has a scent and it smells amazing!

Best lip products | ♥!
Lip butters;
The Body Shop lip butters - from £4 (thebodyshop.co.uk)
Clinique superbalm lip treatment - £13 (clinique.co.uk)
These are my favourite ever lip products, they are really hydrating & moisturising. They work amazingly on chapped lips and there is a range of great scents which also have a range of products to match! Some of the ones in my photo have been discontinued, including my favourite which was Sweet Lemon. But you can get Pink Grapefruit, Mango, Strawberry, Blueberry(£3 just now), Shea, Coconut & Chocomania(£3 just now). They also have a "Foundation lip butter" which is dragon fruit with 100% of the proceeds going to their selected charities!
Lip scrubs;
Lush bubblegum lip scrub - £5.50 (lush.co.uk)
This is brilliant for use before the body shop lip butters or on its own! It is great at exfoliating the lips then you simply lick it off! It tastes like candy floss, it has jojoba oil in it to help soften & add moisture to your lips. You can also get Santa's lip scrub which has a cola flavour, Mint Julips which has mint chocolate flavour and Popcorn which obviously tastes of popcorn.
Lip balms;
Pixi Shea butter lip balm in Honey Nectar - £8 (pixibeauty.co.uk)
I recently received this in a Birchbox & I'm so glad I did! I'm not really a fan of lip colour on me, I just don't think I suit it. But when I tried this it's perfect as it's more of a tint I think so it's just enough colour! It's really nourishing and smells like vanilla, it's not sticky and really lightweight. I will definitely be trying more things from the Pixi range!
You can use this product on its own or underneath lipstick/gloss, it's super hydrating and really helps dry, sore & chapped lips. It's not at all sticky either which makes it even better! I use this everyday before I put my make up on and if my lips need a bit of moisture during the day! Everyone should have this it's amazing!

Favourite body butters | ♥!
The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter 200ml - £13 (thebodyshop.co.uk)
This Body Butter is a really creamy formula. It leaves the skin feeling really soft and non greasy and works especially good on dry skin. It has Shea butter in it which is great for your skin, and it smells fantastic just like strawberry hubba bubba! Everyone definitely needs to try a Body Shop body butter because they are amazing:-)!
Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream 300 ml - £10.50 (boots.com)
I love Soap & Glory! This is definitely my favourite scent from their range, it smells good enough to eat. It works even better when used with the Sugar Crush body wash & body scrub, leaves you smelling amazing & dries in really quickly. You get quite a lot in the tub so it lasts a while. It also has cocoa butter, almond & coconut oils which help to make it it's the super rich moisturising body butter it is!
ASP Spa Honey & Soy Milk Body Butter 240g - £6.99 (salonservices.com)
This is a very hydrating and non greasy body butter, I mainly use it on my hands and feet and you only need the smallest amount. It's scent reminds me of golden syrup porridge, but it's not too sweet so not overpowering. You can get other products with the same scent too, I have the cuticle oil (£4.29 for 15ml) and that is also amazingly hydrating and smells fantastic. This range is such an amazing price too!
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter 300 ml - £10.50 (boots.com)
This is a super moisturising body butter, I think it works best when you're just out of the shower/bath and soaks in really well. It has a nice fruity but floral scent & not strong or overpowering. It's a really thick formula so a little goes a long way and it really helps me with dry skin!
I almost can't believe how amazing this product is! You rub it onto your skin once you're out of the shower/bath and it melts as you move it around, it's super moisturising and dries in really fast so no annoying stickiness! It has fresh bananas, oat milk, cocoa butter & coconut oil as well as many other amazing ingredients. I think it really does smell like banana, coconut & oats, yum! If this scent is not for you, Lush do some other solid body butter bars too but I'd definitely recommend trying one!

Lush Lemony Flutter cuticle butter | Review♥!
This product is amazing for everywhere not just your cuticles. I use it mainly on my feet and cuticles, but wherever else I get a bit of dry skin I just use this and it's gone the next day. It's soo moisturing that you only need a tiny bit. It has lemon oil (hence the name lemony flutter) which makes it smell fantastic! It also has Shea butter & mango butter to make it a great moisturiser. It's a non greasy formula which is just what you want in a moisturiser product. At only £6.75 for 50g it is definitely worth trying, I have had this pot for about 5 months now and it's not running out anytime soon:-)

Top 4 Favourite Mascaras | ♥!
I know that it's normally a top 5 or a top 10 but I don't have more than 4 mascaras that I love! I absolutely love trying new mascaras but these ones are the ones I always go back to.
Rimmel Wonder'full in extreme black - £7.99
This mascara is enriched with argan oil which is amazing for your eyelashes, it is absolutely clump free and the brush helps to separate your lashes really well. It's a really flexible brush so it helps to get every lash.
Model co power lash black mascara - £24
I got this mascara recently in a birchbox (this is a sample size) and it is truly amazing! When I first got it I felt a bit disappointed when I had a look at the brush as it looked like it would be clumpy and it looked like it had too much product on, but I was so wrong! This makes my eyelashes look huge, even without eyelash curlers they look so curly. The brush is also fantastic, enables you to seperate & get to all the lashes. At £24 it seems a bit pricey but I think it's so worth it!
The tiny brush in this mascara is fantastic for seperating all those tiny bottom lashes. I also use it for those tiny top lashes that you sometimes miss. This tube has lasted for so long as I've had it for about 4 months so far so is definitely worth the £13 price tag. The best thing is that you never get any of those annoying mascara smudges under your eyes!
This is my absolute favourite mascara ever! One that I will continually repurchase! It has an amazing curved brush and it catches all the lashes (even the tiny annoying ones). The formula is amazing as it gives you volume, there is never any clumps, it doesn't smudge and I never need to use eyelash curlers with it! I only use one coat of this and that is really all you need, but more coats just make your eyelashes look even more amazing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
I hope you enjoyed my little reviews:-)
