Hello lovelies,

This week I want to talk about one of my favourite brands- Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter. If you are a fan of fake tan and haven't tried this brand, what have you been doing? I absolutely adore Cocoa Brown and think it has moved into my number one spot in terms of fake tans.

Before now I'd only tried the 1 Hour Dark Tan (Check out my review here), and loved it, so when I saw this I was so keen to try it out.

Gradual bronzers are great for a lighter natural glow, but usually I'm not fussed with them. I find them to be a bit tedious, and maybe it's because I'm lazy at applying moisturisers every day, but I just tend not to go for them.

However, this product is fantastic because it gives you a great looking glow after just one use, and it lasts well too. It also doesn't fade patchy, but goes gradually and evenly.

The colour of the tan is one of the best and leaves you with a natural tan rather than anything orange.

It left my skin feeling extra soft and shiny which made me feel great.

I just think this is brilliant for those who aren't hardcore tanners but want a little boost. It's easy to apply, and goes on really well, and will not take up all your time. Just two coats of this bad boy and you'll be ready to glow!

Make sure you keep tuned as more beauty reviews will be coming soon!

As I've previously mentioned, I have been lucky enough to receive some lovely little samples from Younique Make-up! How exciting! So in today's blog I will be reviewing some of their face products!

First of all I cleansed my face using Younique's Awake Facial Cleanser. To use this you get a little on your hands and add water to create a good lather. It lathered up really well and when I applied it to my face it was lovely and soft and didn't scratch or irritate my skin, like some other cleansers, which can be quite harsh on the skin, especially to those with sensitive skin. After rinsing and patting my face dry with a towel, I noticed my skin felt fresh and awake. I often suffer from fatigue, but this cleanser made my skin feel alive and left it feeling nourished and soft! I have continued to use this cleanser since my first try and have definitely noticed a difference. My skin looks naturally better when I wake up and it seems to have corrected blemishes and blotchy skin! Fantastic!

Next up from Younique was their Brilliant Daily Moisturizing Gel. To look at, it is a clear cream with little white gel balls. To apply I took a small amount and dotted it in all the appropriate places: chin, cheeks and t-zone. It felt really great on my skin and rubbed in well and easily. It had the right mix of silkiness and creaminess that left my skin feeling radiant without being oily. My skin is always a bit crazy to deal with as it's either really dry or really oily! I can never win! And I often think it could be down to the products I use. I loved this product because it met me in the middle. It gave my dry skin the boost it needed but also kept excess oils at bay, but left me with a healthy looking, natural glow. I have felt more confident since using this moisturiser, and you never know maybe soon I'll be brave enough to go bare faced!



Next I used Younique's Moodstruck Glorious Face and Eye Primer. This was probably my favourite product. I've never felt my skin feel so smooth! I applied small amounts to every area of my face that needed it. This Primer not only minimised my pores but also made my face feel ready for make up! It also seemed to correct my skin tone where blotchy. I was thrilled by the results of this product! It was the perfect start to my make up regime and I would definitely buy this product!


Overall, the face products I sampled were fantastic, and I would highly recommend them for women who want a fresh, awake feeling added to their daily make-up routine. If you, like me, are fed up of thick heavy moisturisers and scratchy cleansers, then Younique's facial products may just be the answer to your prayers!!

Stay tuned for my next Younique blog post, where I will be reviewing Younique's  BB Flawless Complexion Enhancer!

So recently my hair has been feeling a little sorrowful. I swear sometimes I can hear it weep a little!
'Help me Laura, save us!' my hair cries to me! And help it I shall. I've been desperate to find news ways of bringing life and thick, fullness back to my hair, and it often feels dry and brittle with plenty of split ends. It seems that even when you don't use heat or put you hair in crazy styles, split ends still occur.
