Bilou Creamy Shower Foams
If you’re into cute packaging and enjoy smelling like a dessert, I’m pretty confident you’ll want to try these shower foams. The foams are by German brand Bilou (which, incidentally, was founded by a Youtuber), and are already making an impression here in the UK thanks to their instagram-worthy packaging and saccharine scents. Speaking of Instagram, Bilou’s (@mybilou) is actually Germany’s most popular Instagram page, with nearly 1.4 million followers! Designed to be ‘extra creamy’, the kitsch shower foams are available in five different fragrances – Cotton Candy, Tasty Donut, Coco Cocktail, Pink Melon and Fizzy Berry. I have to hand the Cotton Candy and Tasty Donut scents, which are…

Heavily Discounted Fake Tan at Superdrug
So something ridiculous just happened. I was having a quick look in Superdrug tonight and came across a load of fake tan products with some very puzzling price tags. At first I spotted the L’Oreal Sublime Bronze One Day Tinted Gel for Face priced at £1.25. I took it to the counter and asked if it was a mistake so the shop assistant scanned it and then informed that it was a mistake and it’s actually 50 PENCE. That’s right ladies and gentleman – 50p for a product that usually retails for £12.99. I haven’t tried it yet but at 50p it won’t be a complete tragedy if I don’t…

Cheap Thrills!: MUA Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit in Porcelain-Beige
Whilst MUA seems to be a blogger favourite, the Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit is actually my first product from this cheap and cheerful brand. Featuring 3 products in 1 palette, the kit includes two concealer shades and one highlighter, designed to be mixed together to create your perfect shade! This is a pretty nifty idea because we all know what a rigmarole it can be to find a perfect match when it comes to concealers and nobody wants to end up drawing attention to the bits they’re trying to hide because the shade’s too light or dark, too orange or too muddy! The kit is oil free and pretty generously pigmented,…

Hair Adventures: Dying my Hair Red at Home
You may have seen last week’s post about my hair faux pas featuring Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Luminance. Though this particular product is designed to lighten and colour dark hair, I failed to take notice of the fact that it wasn’t going to do anything to the black dye that still lingered in my lengths. So I was left with a slightly bizarre light red on top, black through the lengths, fiery on the ends look that led my own brother to enquire as to why I looked like a ‘red skunk head’. Whatever that is. Anyway, long story short, I wasn’t happy rocking the reverse-ombre look but I wasn’t ready to…

Cheap Thrills: Superdrug Coconut Oil
Coconut oil, and various other multitasking oils seem to be everywhere in the beauty world at the moment, so I thought I’d share this ridiculously cheap find I stumbled across in Superdrug. I got this coconut oil for 99p. Yes, 99p. This product isn’t 100% pure coconut oil, thanks to the addition of parfum and something called Coumarin, which is basically a vanilla type fragrance, but it does everything pure oil does – just don’t eat it! The oil in the 125ml tub is solidified but melts on contact with the sin. As you probably know by now, coconut oil is fantastic as a fast absorbing body moisturiser and works as a…
