Product Review - Miners Blusher Brick

I recieved these blushers from Miners a while a go but recently they've been my go to blush. I thought I'd do a review on them to let ya'll know why I'm loving them! YEHAAWWW!!!

The Blusher Bricks come in 2 shades - Pinks & Browns (I see it more as Peaches tbh)

They're perfect to pop on individually or swirl all 3 together for a mixture of the colours! I have been using the Peach shade everyday but I just mix the 2 light shades together - if I was going for a darker peach I'd use all 3, or you could use the darket as a coutour! The Pink Blusher Brick is slightly more pigmented then the Peach so really gives you that cute flushed look.

The only bad point of these is that they are quite powdery so you need be careful where you apply them... you wouldn't want any addittions to your carpet!... Also make sure you tap off your brush before applying to get rid of any excess product.

The Blusher Bricks are £4.49  - CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

Product Review - Lee Stafford Argan Oil

I bought this Argan Oil when Boots had their 3 for 2 offer on... until now I don't know why I had never used it before!

I've always loved Lee Stafford products - I remember when I was about 12 I used to steal my sisters Shine Spray just to spray it because it smelt AMAZING. I now religiously use the Beach Blondes Shampoo/ Conditioner and the Hair Growth Treatment (I always feel like a middle aged man when I talk about that product!)

I apply this every time I was my hair - 

1. Towel dry my mane

2. Brush through with a paddle brush to ensure there's no knots

3. Pump twice into my hands and smooth through root to tips

4. Brush my hair again so that it's all evenly spread

5. Continue to add volumising mouse, blow dry etc....

The first time I used this I couldn't believe how well my hair styled it looked  so glossy, smelt incredible and was so smooth. Since then I haven't skipped this out of my hair routine once. I used to use the L'oreal Oil that came with a Glossybox but this is 100 times better!

You get 50ml for £11.99 which is quite expensive compare to other Argan Oils on the market (VO5 sell 50ml for £5.19) but this honestly is so great I would say it's worth it. This will definitely be a re-purchase!

Grand Cafe - Afternoon Tea Darlings?

Grand Cafe is a beautiful restaurant based in one of Southampton's oldest buildings - South Western House. Built in 1872 South Western House was the most lavish hotel around, first class passengers who were boarding the Titanic stayed there, as did J Bruce Ismay - the controversial head of the White Star Line.... in fact if you look very closely in the film Titanic, you can see South Western Hotel in the background as the characters board the vessel! Now days this building holds apartments and the restaurant - Grand Cafe.

This Saturday the sun was shining as we wandered over to Grand Cafe. We were heading there for a spot of afternoon tea and a catch up with some family. As you enter the huge doorway you are greeted by high ceilings, sash windows and a colourful interior! We were seated at a round table and offered various types of tea - unfortunately I am not a lover of tea (I've been told many times this is weird!!) so I opted for a hot chocolate. 

The sandwiches and sweets were all served together and we dug in! The sandwich fillings were: Pate, Salmon, Ham & Cream Cheese. For sweets we had Chocolate Brownies, Coconut Cheesecake, Scones with Cream and Jam of course, Lemon Sponge and also some 'Mint Choc Chip' Cupcakes... in all honestly these didn't get eaten - they tasted like toothpaste!!!

Once finished we were able to take anything we didn't eat (there wasn't a lot!) home - also great news for tea & coffee drinkers... that's unlimited!

For £14.50 this was a great afternoon out and I would definitely recommend it! It's in the City Centre so easy to get to, the atmosphere is lively but not in a TGI's way.. just perfect for giggling, gossiping girls!!!

I'm heading to Chewton Glen today for MORE Afternoon Tea... this is one of the 

top spas in England so will report back to you all with how it goes!
