Majority of the time I think why are there so many products launching all at once. To be honest, I really cannot keep up. So instead of a post on what products I would love to buy, I decided to film my first official Anti-Haul.
I was a little nervous to upload a video about products I do not feel is worth purchasing. However, what harm can be done giving that I am here to voice my thoughts and critic brands I feel could do a lot better in the future.
Hope you all enjoy. Below are the Giveaway details.

I can not believe it has been over a year, since I last purchased some hair products from Beauty by Zara. I felt like I was having withdrawal symptoms every time each one of my products were finishing off. So if your hair type is between type 3 or type 4 the products I have mentioned in the video below will give you an idea on what products to buy or something you've been keeping a eye out and you want to test them out.
The products I'm most excited to try are the Uncle Funky's Daughter's travel kit along with curly magic, The Mane choice Ancient Egyptian Oil the Mielle's leave in conditioner, Crème of Nature hair milk and Alikay Naturals Shea Moisturiser. Over the summer period I will try majority of these products out and let you guys know my results before the Summer ends. I want to review in depth which one worked for my hair and what certain hair types I would recommend these products for.
Ready for some spring time colourful looks, look no further than this guys.
I recently posted a video discussing my Top favourite eyeshadow palettes and so many of you really enjoyed it and loved my colourful make up look.
As excited as I am I have created a 2 in 1 look using the BH cosmetics Take me back to Brazil palette. I thought why do one look when you can create so many looks with 35 shades.
I definitely think the palette is cohesive and opaque. Some shades you may need to build up a little more than others. But for the price (£20) and the fact the palette has a mirror you are saving some coins. Especially for those starting out with make up and like to experiment with colours.
You can purchase the palette from BH cosmetics or Beauty Bay. Do it quickly because it does sell out all the time. Beauty Bay BH Cosmetics
Hope you all enjoy my video and let me know if I should do more videos like this too.
Struggling to find a go to palette or are you a beginner in makeup who can not decide what eyeshadow palette is right for you?

Hope you all are doing well. March seemed to be dragging on for so long. Finally April has now arrived and I think its that time where we have some fun with our Spring to Summer lipstick shades.
I recently bought some products from Colourpop and thought let's do another fun video swatching these luxurious lip products from the LUX Lipstick collection and Ellarie's Collab. So here it is guys... https://youtu.be/NrCjP1e-WvI
I was actually contacted by one of my old University friend's and she told me a little bit about how she set up a wax melts business not too long ago. It is known as Candy Candles Ltd. Before anything I would like to thank her and congratulate her on this huge endeavour its truly a great innovative and affordable small business.
Candy Candle Ltd is a current website who sell mini wax melts retailing from £1.55 to £1.99 (and larger jars with 50 wax melts £2.50 ). They are super affordable and you can receive free shipping within the UK.
More information- Candy candle website: Click here
Or any questions contact: candycandlesltd@gmail.com
I was sent these amazing wax jars filled with candy scented heart wax melts along with a candle cover and tea light. I know this would be a brilliant gift for any of you who are candle lovers, or even for Weddings or Easter time, which is not that far away. They're securely packed all in bubble wrap, and this is mentioned on the website so they stay intact when it is delivered to you.
For those of you who love candles and want a something a little different these wax melts are definitely worth purchasing. Plus free shipping guys, I'm not too sure about international shipping but you can drop a email to them to ask.
Disclaimer: Not sponsored. I was personally sent these and asked if I would like to review them (I agreed to do so)
Quick question guys. What is one thing you wish to see in a go to palette?
Well for me it's a palette with shades I can wear everyday, and create multiple looks with.
Ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce the stunning Soft Glam eyeshadow palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) along side the Powder Bronzer.
If you're a makeup fanatic/ enthusiast like myself then you definitely need this palette in your life. The array of warm tones, to pinks to beautiful rich dark tone shades are magnificent. However, if you own a ABH palette already then you know how brilliant the pigments are. Some people have compared it to previous palettes, I only own the Self-made palette so I will link some videos on my youtube for comparsions. I am aware there are some shades that are repeats, but it's still a gorgeous palette.
I have created a video to show you guys my first impressions using the palette and bronzer (swatches, demo and mini review).
I have the shade Mahogany. Swatched below
Let's start with the price. The Abh Soft Glam palette retails for £43 just like the other eyeshadow palettes. As for the new powder bronzer it retails for £29 (comes in six different shades Rosewood, Saddle, Tawny, Cappuccino and Mahogany). I was able to snatch these up on the day it launched on the UK website.
I adore the Abh Soft Glam palette and maybe that's because I love the simple colour scheme Anastasia went for. I think making a palette that can be worn on a daily basis is great and a clever idea. There are so many looks to create with the Soft Glam palette whether it is basic or dramatic. I can see why they wanted to make it a bridal theme palette because of those soft and rich pigments Anastasia and Norvina put in the palette.
My favourite shades were burnt orange, Sienna, Noir and Bronze so far. They are beautiful shades and blend out tremedously well. I did not need to use any fix plus when I applied Bronze on my eyes which was fantastic.
My only issues with this palette is you cannot go to heavy handed with it, as some of the shades can become a little muddy looking on the eye as its full of pigment. The shade Cyprus umber is packed with pigment and mulberry too. So go light handed and tap of the excess as your going with the palette.
Lastly, I was hoping that Anastasia could of brought out a few newer shades in the soft glam palette. Since I do not own any of the previous palettes like the modern rennaissance /subculture/prism palette I am pleased with the colour scheme chosen in the new palette. But for those who own those other palettes, it may have stopped them from purchasing this particular palette. So for future palettes I hope too see something a little more spontaneous and eclectic.
Now finally the ABH powder bronzer, I have been waiting a long time for a go to bronzer and this may be one of them.
I will have to say a lot of the warm toned bronzers have a red undertone to them. I was hoping for a more sunkissed or deep golden brown shade, but once I applied it to bronze up my face I thought it looked absolutely fine. I would say if you are my shade or deeper this would be great as a bronzer or contour. My only concern is that I wish they had more shades without the red undertones for those with yellow/ golden undertones.
I rate the Soft glam palette a 8/10 and the powder bronzer 7/10.
