ALOHA
It's finally Friday, I am so happy that it is Friday best day of the week in my opinion. So this week was mine and Dans 5 and half year anniversary (I know some people think we are weird for celebrating our half year but it means something to us) which made me think about all the amazing things we have experienced as a couple. Anyway this week I have a few things I am loving and I wanted to share them with you.
Favourite Beauty
This week well I should say month as I have been loving since I started using it has been a face mask by Amie, it smells so fresh and my skin feels so clean after I have used. It is quite a good price on Amazon.
Favourite Scent
This one is a bit different as it isn't a candle or perfume but I am in love with the smell of cherries. I have the most amazing car smelly at the moment from Yankee Candle called Black Cherries (I posted it on my Instagram make sure you follow me so we can chat some more) I also have the same smell in a candle which as I am writing this I am burning it and the room smells AMAZING! I also have the Philosophy Cherry shower gel which also smells so good.
Favourite Music
I have been going through a major flashback with my music this past week and have been playing the Backstreet Boys Millennium album on repeat in my car. It is such a good album and so easy to sing along to. Totally reminds me of when I was a teenager.
What have you been loving this week? I would love to know...

This is my 1st review of a single product and I wanted it to be on something that I truly think deserves a post of its own.
I got the Tropic Body Scrub from the Ideal Home Show this year in London. I am always sceptical of products from these stands that I have never heard of but I am a sucker when I hear that my skin will be soft and if it has a cruelty free logo and organic.
The women tested the scrub on my hands and I wasn't impressed when I was doing the scrubbing I found it to be very rough and I thought my skin is going to go so red which it didn't thank god. But I loved the smell it has quite a strong lemon scent but it doesn't linger on the skin for hours so if you don't like lemon I wouldn't be put off by that. She then poured water over my hands and said to rub my hands while she did this and I was like OH MY GOD my hands felt sooo good. I have naturally dry skin and am always looking for products to make my skin feel soft and hydrated. Well this product did this and she said that you wont need to moisturise after (I thought whatever you don't know my skin) well I would say for normal to dry skin I truly don't think you would need to and even on my skin, it wasn't until hours later that I wanted to put a bit on moisturiser on but to be honest I think it was more fear in my head that I was worried I was going to start having dry patched. PARANOID MUCH...
I would defiantly recommend this items it is expensive at 20 pounds a tub for 200ml but with all the goodness and the effect I think it's worth it. I use it twice a week and I still have plenty left. I would like to get a small one and keep it at my sink, so I could use it when washing my hands.
Doesn't look amazing but it really is. If you would like to check it out here is the link:
*Stock Clearance* Susan Ma's Tropic Body Smooth - 200ml
If you have tried it or you think you might try it then let me know what you think or if you have tried a different one and think I need to try it out please let me know, I am always on the look out for new skin products.

I normally film a monthly favourites video but as I didn't have to many I thought I would do it as a blog post instead. This is quite exciting for me as this is my first beauty post.
My first favourite is a perfume by Victoria's Secret called Hello Darling. I think this is defiantly a summer scent. The description reads "Play the flirt with a sparkle of white nectarine and a burst of fresh peony." I bought it at VS in Westfield Stratford for only £11. Unfortunately they don't have a website here yet but they do ship to the UK but at quite a price, if you are interested you can buy the mist from Amazon.

Another favourite of mine this month has been by e.l.f and it's the Contouring Blush and Bronzer in Antigua.
I have really grown to love this duo, the pink blush has a tiny bit of sparkle but it doesn't really show up on the face to much. It is super pigmented and really shows as soon as you put it on.
The Bronzer is quite scary and I was like OMG when I opened it but with a light hand it is a really nice brown it is mostly matte but there is a little shimmer to but not to much. for the price it it a great duo to chuck in your makeup bag. For only £3.75 it's a bargain and it comes with a very good sized mirror.
I am super impressed with this duo and I really want to buy Turks and Caicos as soon as it is back in stoke.
My next favourite is by e.l.f again I am a big fan of e.l.f I love that they are a cruelty free company and that their products are crazy cheap, this just puts a smile on my face. :) e.l.f has not to long ago brought out a baked range of products I love their baked blush in Peachy Cheeky (in fact I don't know why I haven't put it in this months favourites oh because it was in my last months fav's silly me) that I had to try their baked eyeshadow and you guessed it another hit for me.
It's called Enchanted and I have worn this in some of videos and I have received complements on my make up and I have been wearing this. It comes out more of a gold on the eyes and it works so well with my current favourite bright pink lipstick which I might do a post on as I LOVE it.
I use a wide C eyeshadow brush to pick up as much colour as possible and I think it looks like a nice shimmery summer eyeshadow. It's only £3.75 again, when you look on the website the colour looks so different in my opinion.
Firstly I just want to say that my last product has not been left last as it is my least favourite out of my fav's because it is an awesome moisturiser. It's by nspa and was like £3 (I think) from Asda of all places and it is just such a good body butter and smells AMAZEBALLS.
As you can see in the image below I have gone through the whole thing in a month, it smells so yummy and Dan (my boyfriend) actually noticed the scent and really liked it. It is perfect for summer and it is actually a really good moisturiser and it is also paraben free and not tested on animals BONUS!
Hope you have like my favourites, I would love to know some of yours let me know in the comments and then it gives me a reason to go shopping again HEHE :).

*I am now affiliated with Glossybox but my subscription has always been bought with my own money and all views are my own.
Beauty subscription Glossybox is something that I get super excited about each month, when I get that email that telling me it's dispatched I can't wait for that door to knock to see what goddies I have received that month.
For those of you who don't know what a Glossybox is or you are reading this post to see if you would like to start the subscription. It's a month subscription that costs £10 + £2.95 P&P that you can choose to pay it monthly or you have the choice to buy a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription I pay mine monthly for those of you who might want to know. It comes in a well presented box with a leaflet explaining the products you have received. You will get 5 luxury sized samples and sometimes a little extra treat or when we are super lucky a full time product. If you would like to know full details then click the ink below to go to their website where you can find all the details and the brands that could appear in your box.
As some of you may know that I have a YouTube channel and that I have filmed many of my boxes so if you fancy having a little gander then I have posted my most recent Glossybox video which was April. On my channel you will see all my other Glossybox videos and I have created a playlist to make it that much easier so you don't have to traipse through all my videos.

I LOVE my Glossybox subscription, I continually am impressed it get's delivered always when they say it will and the little extra attention to detail is something I find makes Glossybox that bit special.
In future I will take pictures of the products I get to show you guys if you don't want to watch YouTube videos and you prefer to see the products shown on my blog.
