The Third & Fourth Week Crystal Clear Skincare Update

Published by Danniella Josephine

Did you think I had forgotten? As I mentioned in my second update, I purchased the La Roche Posay micellar water to remove my make up instead of the Deep Cleanse Gel ツ as I felt it wasn’t cleansing effectively and thus wasting a product. A few days later I broke out all over my chin which turned ugly, fast. I stopped using the La Roche Posay, went back to using just the Crystal Clear skincare products and what do you know, my face has healed up fast and there are no spots! My favourite products are still the Illuminate Moisturiser ツ and Crystal …

TALON TALES: Blue Med by Models Own

Published by Danniella Josephine

If you’re sat here looking at this picture and thinking “ugh…”, well how do you think I feel? This was such a disappointment. The formula was streaky and hard to work with. The only positive thing about Blue Med if that it dried SO fast… buuuut if you made any mistakes you were stuck with them. I applied about 3 coats of this and you can still see my nails underneath. Avoid! x x x

#BBBBeautyBox

Even though I’ve been trying to post every 2 days rather than post everyday for a week and then go AWOL on yiz (yep, I notice myself!) I just had to share with you the BritishBeautyBlogger Beauty Box. Of course all the details are on there so I’m not going to waste time waffling on! The box was £15 plus P&P which makes this box a true bargain considering the B. mascara retails at £10 and the Bourjois cream blush retails at £5.99. Boom. There is my £15 spent and everything else is a freebie! (That’s what I tell myself …

Have You Checked Out My Guest Post for Ramblings of a Beauty Bird?

Published by Danniella Josephine

At the time of writing, the weather in England is a bit dire. It’s wet, it’s windy; it’s downright miserable. *grumbles* *shakes fist at sky* I am however staying optimistic that we haven’t seen the last of the sunshine. Just in case the sun and the rain have got themselves muddled and the rain is here and the sun is in Spain, I will be reaching for the… Continue Reading on Ramblings of a Beauty Bird x x x

TALON TALES: Bora Bora by Models Own

Published by Danniella Josephine

Please ignore my ripped sidenails… #legalsecretaryproblems Bora Bora by Models Own was released ages ago yet I’ve only just got round to putting it on. It’s a gold glitter that you can either use as a topcoat or just by itself – I’ve layered it up to get a full glitter effect but I think this would look gorgeous over a black base coat. x x x

Fake Up The Wake Up! | Benefit Fake Up Concealer in Light

Published by Danniella Josephine

This review has been overdue for a very long time! *slaps wrist* I know you will have already seen TONS of reviews of this already buuut did those reviews feature deliciously funny humour and GIFs? Tehe. If you cast your minds back now, I attended my very first blogger event – the Benefit Fake Up Launch Party. If you can’t remember me waffling on about that, here is the link. At that event I was very kindly gifted with all three shades of Fake Up… Today I am going to be reviewing Benefit Fake Up Concealer in Light. Click Read …

My June Beauty Favourites

Published by Danniella Josephine

Where the hell is this year going?! I’m sure it was only April yesterday! Stop the earth, I want to get off. We have had a tiny amount of sunshine in Yorkshire which means I’ve been wearing as little as possible… make up that is. As I have been using a few products from the Crystal Clear Skincare ツ line my skin has improved, which has been giving me the confidence to put down the foundation. I love wearing bright, red lipsticks but I hate how they end up smeared all over my face when I get into work. I’ve been using …

The Second Week Crystal Clear Skincare Update

Published by Danniella Josephine

*sings* I remembered, I remembered, I remembered… This post is going to be short and sweet as I don’t have much to say but hey ho, I promised to update you all regardless! I have been trying my best to carry on using the Crystal Clear Deep Cleanse Gel ツ twice a day however… *guilty face* I did slip up on the weekend and used a sample of the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil (ermagerdamazingness) to remove my make up. It reminded me how much I love using a cream/oil cleanser in t’evenings. I still use the Deep Cleanse Gel every morning as I …

First Impressions + First Uses | Crystal Clear Skincare

Published by Danniella Josephine

That’s right folks; a blog series I have actually remembered to do! Last week I introduced Crystal Clear Skincare to both you, my dear readers, and to my skin. Lately, I have become simultaneously set in my ways yet a bit lazy when it comes to my skin. I am a militant cleanser in the morning and evenings.. yet I have been skipping moisturising on most occasions (despite having dry skin!). So to speak, motivating myself to use all three products together AND only these three has been tough (especially when you are a beauty blogger, you tend to have …

Poundland Find: Get Fresh Naked Minty Menthol Body Wash

Published by Danniella Josephine

It’s very rare that I buy cosmetics and bodycare from Poundland but when you see one of your favourite brands in there, it’s hard to resist. I found this in the Poundland in Scarborough after many a tip off on Twitter about Naked products in Poundland. This shower gel smells like liquid soft mints in a bottle, with a side dish of gentle tingling and cooling. It can either wake you up in the morning or relax you in the evening; I find the smell to be quite mild and surprisingly not overwhelmingly pungent considering it’s 97% natural. I …
