New tea purchase

Hannah here!

This winter I spent christmas with my family in Denmark, while I was there one of the things I bought was this selection pack of teas. The packaging is of course in Danish but the name of this selection is 'soul warmer', it includes; green tea with Jasmine, strawberry tea, summer-berry tea, and herbal tea with blueberry. 

I have now tried all of them and the strawberry tea is definitely my favourite of the four. It is also the nicest strawberry tea that I have ever tasted, having a very sweet (non-artificial) and refreshing flavour. 

I would love to see more selection packs of this kind in the UK as I think they are a really lovely way of trying new teas. I also picked up another selection pack called 'Evening calm', although I haven't opened it yet so can't tell you much about it. 

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this slightly different style of post! I am a big tea lover so would love to hear if you have any tea recommendations! -H xox

Detox tea review

Hannah here!

This week I purchased the M&S Detox tea, it is a blend of nettle, dandelion, and milk thistle. No to mention it is naturally caffeine free, making it suitable for all. I am a great tea lover and was eager to try a calming and cleansing brew (especially when it was only £1 for 20 tea bags!). I have absolutely fallen in love with this tea and its many health benefits are a bonus. I also find that the milk thistle gives it a slightly sweet taste, which makes it all the more enjoyable. 

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post. I would love to know your thoughts on any great teas that you've come across!

Current must-have products

Hannah here!

I hope you have all had a lovely winter break and are enjoying the new year. After a much needed break we have finally got ourselves organised and back into the swing of things. I thought I would  share with you some of the products I really couldn't live without!

The body shop tea tree cleanser
This is an absolute must have and I don't go a day without using it. It is perfect for mattifying and toning oily skin!

Tangle teaser
This was a new product to me in 2014 and I don't know how I coped before it! If anyone hasn't tried this, I don't know what your waiting for!

Real techniques stippling brush
I use this everyday to blend in my concealer and nothing does the job as well as this brush, its an absolute staple product.

The body shop shower gels
They all have such a lovely and refreshing scent, but my favourite is definitely strawberry. They're a tad pricey for a shower gel, but they last well and I feel so good using them. The scents I have are; Vineyard Peach, Mango, and Strawberry!

Vo5 "Give me texture" hair spray
I go through so many cans of this and I simply couldn't fault this product. its the perfect texturising spray with a great scent. 

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post. I am always looking for new products to try, and would love to hear what your current must-have products are! -H xox

Second five days of the YouBeauty advent calendar (Blogmas day 10)

Jess here,

This year for christmas I have got the YouBeauty advent calendar, this is an advent calendar filled with skincare products, makeup and general beauty products and I thought I would share what I get in my calendar every five days. So here is the second five days of the YouBeauty advent calendar 2014:

Day six) An aromatherapy candle, since I have got this I have burnt it each day when I'm either in the shower or bath and it fills my whole bathroom with the nicest relaxing scent, I definitely think that when I finish burning this one I will be purchasing another!

Day seven) A Sisley radiant glow express mask, I used this the day I got it and although I did not see any results of my skin glowing it definitely made my skin feel as smooth as a baby's bottom and along with the aromatherapy candle was the perfect combination for a relaxing night.

Day eight) A Philip Kingsley hair elasticizer this product is to be used on you hair as a mask before you shampoo and condition, I am yet to use this as it is a 10-20 minute treatment and I have not had the time, however I am really looking forward to see if it makes a difference to my hair.

Day nine) A Teeez desert metal mascara, I am in love with the wand for this mascara!!! The actual mascara formula is great too, and at one point when I was wearing it I even rubbed my eye and it didn't smudge, however the applicator is what makes this product, because it is so thin at the top it makes getting my inner eye and bottom lashes so much easier than using a normal mascara wand does, so I would highly recommend this product. A smudge proof easy to apply black mascara! 

Day ten) And finally I got a Burt's bees almond and milk hand cream, it smells delicious and exactly like marzipan, I can imagine the smell getting quite sickly if I used it all the time however I am going to make sure I only use it when I really need to.

Garner Micellar Cleansing Water Mini Review.

Jess here,

I recently purchased the Garner Micellar Cleansing Water, and it is so good that I had to go out and stock up, I really loved this product, I haven't got a clue for sure if it has worked wonders on my skin but every time I use it my face definitely feels hydrated and refreshed. I like to use this morning and night just to refresh my skin and clear out the impurities.
