REVIEW : Rimmel london Space Dust Collection - 'Aurora'

Hi guys! Today I'm back with a review on the Rimmel London nail polish in 'Aurora'! It's a part of their Space Dust Collection that came out back in late September and early October. 
I have to say that this is my absolute favourite glitter nail polish of all time, as not only it is affordable with the price of £3.99 at the drugstore but also has a fantastic formula, and an exquisite colour. When I first saw it on the shelf, I was captivated by its stunning rose gold colour filled with countless of glitters and speckles but I somehow feared that it was gonna be watery and only with the slightest pigmentation. Nevertheless, it applied ever so smoothly on my nails with its large, brilliantly brush, giving my nails a fully pigmented rose gold topped with millions of speckles and glitters, looking incredible with only 1 coat!

You can of course wear this colour on its own, but as well pairing it up with other colours as a mix&match ! Here's an idea.

You can co-operate this glitter with a solid red which can be a perfect combination to wear in colder seasons or Christmas, giving you a radiant, festive look on your nails!

Obviously, there are a range of other gorgeous colours for you to choose from in this awesome collection. Here's a link if you are interested in checking them out!

Q&A a Day 5 Year Journal




This Q&A a Day 5-Year Journal has been very popular for the past few months and it was all over the internet. So, I immediately bought it off Amazon.com  for £10 as I just could not resist it! Unfortunately, they don't sell it here in the shops in the UK(I think) , they are only sold in the US and Canada but you can always get them online like I did! I want to share my opinions with you on this journal, because it is something I've never really seen before and that is what makes it unique and interesting! 

The basic idea of this journal is that there is a different question for you to answer each day and it allows you to answer each question for 5 years. Personally I love this journal so much, because it keeps in track of how I've changed or grown, also it gives me an idea of how much I've progressed throughout the year, which can be something very funny or interesting to look back on.

As you can see, the picture below shows the question on January 1st and it gives you 5 paragraphs for you to answer each year. 
There are varieties of questions for you to answer each day, the questions range from really random, funny suddenly to tricky and inspirational. This is what I think makes them more fun to answer!

Here are some examples of questions on there:

My Nail Care Routine!

Today, I'm going to share my nail care routine! Because I thought this is something different to what I've done before and I'm really looking forward to share it with people who want to keep their nails looking lovely and flawless!



























First of all, to remove the nasty, chipped nail polish on my nails, I use the Sally Hanson acetone free nail polish remover which is for artificial and sensitive nails. I really recommend this product to you as this removes  polish fast without containing acetone. But if your nails that that are more on a dry side or need extra strengthening, they also have one especially for moisturising and strengthening. It is super cheap to get in drugstores for £2.45.








The next thing I do after removing my nail polish is cutting my nails with a nail clipper! Here's a tip, if your nails don't grow very fast or you just want to have long nails, don't cut your nails too short, make sure to cut them to an appropriate amount that you think is short enough. 
Plus, drinking milk or eating high calcium products like cheese regularly, can give that extra boost to make your nails grow even faster and longer!After that, I just file my nails with a nail filer, which you can find at pretty much anywhere! 


Then, I wash my hands with the Dove Supreme Fine Silk Beauty Cream Wash to make sure my hands are nice and clean before I moisture my hands.


To moisture my hands, I use the Nivea hand cream in Smooth Nourishing. This product is amazing to moisturise your hands with as it also contains Macadamia nut oil.

































To ensure that my cuticles and nails are also moisturised, I use the 
almond oil nail and cuticle treatment pen from The Body Shop by putting the oil around my cuticles, and then gently rub it in with my finger. This is priced at £7, and I really recommend using any sort of cuticle oil, especially this one from The Body Shop to make sure they're smooth and stay in place all year around !

REVIEW: Nivea Lip Butter - 'Raspberry Rose'


I apologize for not posting for a while, because I've been really busy with exams recently, I'm so sorry, but today I'm back with a review on the ultimate NIVEA lip butter in Raspberry Rose! Let me be honest with you, the main reason I got this lip butter was the adorable packaging it has.I know, I should never judge products on its packaging, but I always do! This lip butter is like love at first sight. 

I'm a kind of lazy person, so I've never found myself into lip butter or applying them regularly. Whenever I get a lip butter, I always leave them in one corner and forget about them. But, the NIVEA lip butter especially in raspberry rose has stole my soul! Why I love it so much is the creamy texture it has which allows you to apply it smoothly on your lips, taking away the chaps and dryness, leaving your lips feeling as soft as a blanket for hours! I don't have particularly dry lips, but it always feels nice to moisturise your lips and plus it also has an incredible smell of sweet raspberry, which is always a bonus, right? This phenomenal product has became my daily essential very fast, everyday I only need to apply two or three times as it locks in the moisture extremely well. 

Furthermore, this is priced at around £2 in drugstores or places where NIVEA are sold. Personally, I think it is absolutely a bargain for such an awesome product! I highly recommend it to you! 

Don't forget that they come in other different ranges as well!
