The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter



Taking makeup off is a chore to me meaning a quick wipe over the face with a makeup wipe is me done. Till I was scrolling through instagram and spotted a lot of people raving about this new cleansing butter and being easily influenced here I am with it now. 

This cleansing butter is much like the Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm but for £36 my student budget can't stretch to those prices. Retailing at £12 the Body Shop's equivalent is perfect for the budget any student is working with.  

With this product a little really does go a long way which helps if you want to get your moneys worth. Using a few pea sized amounts dissolves makeup and even works well on tough mascara and stubborn eyeliner. As advised by a member of staff I use a muslin cloth and warm water to remove the butter and every last bit of makeup is removed. Don't be put off this product if you're not the biggest fan of the camomile smell as the smell is subtle leaving skin feeling soft.

Nivea Express Hydration Primer



The dreaded day my Origins GinZing moisturizer ran out has finally come round and since I'm not working I needed to find a cheaper alternative. I've seen so many reviews before about this raving about how good it was so since it was half price in Tesco there was no harm giving it a go. 

The first thing you notice about this primer is it's fresh scent that isn't too overpowering which is what you want when applying something to your face. When applying this primer it's not thick and tacky on your face it's the complete opposite being lightweight and the smallest amount goes a long way. For a primer you want something that absorbs to the skin quickly and this does just that after leaving it around 20 seconds its fully absorbed ready for the foundation layer to be applied. I used this before going on a night out and after wearing my makeup for around 11 hours in a sweaty environment my makeup was more or less in tact.

If you're looking for a drugstore primer to try out this is definitely one to have a try of.

Social Media


Quick update for you all. 

Being a journalism student I am on social media sites all the time though recently whenever I'm off uni I end up sitting on the sofa not moving because I am checking over my apps all the time. Lazy I know don't judge.

I have recently been loving polyvore and becoming slightly obsessed with it mainly because I am styling outfits I can't afford. Follow my Polyvore here.
