Nothin' like a bit of Soap & Glory!

Since I moved to London I have become slightly obsessed with the Soap & Glory scent! My housemate had the shower gel in the first year we lived together and the smells was very suitble and fresh. In the new house, we are all a little bit in love with it, in the sense that 3 out of the 4 of us have/had the shower gel at one time. Here is a dodgey picture I took on my iphone >>

I recently ran out of my Boots Cranberry body butter, which I received in a gift set for Christmas, so on one of my trips into central London, I popped into Boots and picked up a large tub of The Righteous Body Butter, which would normally cost £9.79 for 250ml, but I used my advantage card points to pay for it! This body butter is awesome! It's thick, as you would expect from a body butter, but its not sticky, which I have found with some can be a problem. A little goes a long way with this as well! With all the heat and sun we have been having, I have been out in the sun tanning, and this has helped me maintain my tan and keep the colour glowing.

Speaking of tans, when tanning its best to have exfoliated before hand, as this helps the tan be more eve, particularly when fake tanning. Having used a sunbed for the first time the other week (tut tut I know, was only for 3 mins!) I decided it was time I got serious about exfoliation, I'm not going to pretend I have done it religiously in the past, but since buying Soap & Glory's Flake Away, I have been exfoliating every other day! This is a wonderful exfoliant that I find quite gentle, I concentrate on using it on the backs of my arms and on my legs, and when I'm shaving my legs, it gives a wonderful smooth finish! Before I forget to mention, a 300ml tub is £6.50, if you don't fancy buying a big one, try the smaller 50ml tub for £2.25 this is perfect if your going away, as again a little goes a long way!

So onto the product that got me into Soap & Glory, the Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel, as mentioned before my housemate had this for a long while, and it was only when I asked my sister for a bottle for Christmas I got my first "fix", using one pump and lathering it up in my loofah is enough to cover you nicely from head to toe in bubbles, with plenty left over, so needless to say I still have over half a bottle left after 6 months! This retails in Boots for £5.00 for 500 ml

You can buy Soap & Glory in most Boots stores in the UK, as well as Harvey Nichols, ASOS.com also stock it, and with international shipping, you can get your hands on it wherever in the world you are!

Things I'm loving on ASOS.com

It's no secret that I love ASOS.com, I buy alot of my clothes from them and I love how great there customer services are!

So when I was browsing today I thought I would show you 3 of my favourite items, one of which I own, 1 my sister owns, and the last I hope to get soon!


This top is fab! I actually own 3 of them yes THREE! One in white, one navy, and 1 red! These got with pretty much everything and are lightweight, perfect for the summer! Prices vary depending on colour, however most are priced at £8.

The shoes are Cheryl Cole inspired and cost £44.50, my sister recently bought these in pink (pictured), but they are also available in black leather. I tried my sisters on and they are fairly high, but she finds them really comfortable, and loves wearing them!!




Now, this clutch bag is an item i'm hoping to get eventually, i'm still undecided as to whether or not I would get enough use from it to justify buying it!! It costs £15, so not expensive but I don't tend to take bags out with me when I go out at clubbing etc! Also as you can see its quite a large clutch bag, so even if I did take it out it would probably end up annoying me!!!

Make sure you check out ASOS they not only sell women's clothing they also sell Kids/Mens/Maternity/Cosmetics and loads more! and even better they won't cost you loads!!!

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend! MakeupBecci xxx

New look = latest video

So I just did a new look, using the original Sleek palette, make sure you check out my latest video for a tutorial on the look!



Today was a fairly dull day for me, I woke myself up having had the weirdest dream about a snake and a hoover...its a long and very weird story!!! However, I did FINALLY get round to hoovering my room, it really needed doing!


This weekend is the first weekend in about 2 months I haven't had anything planned/gone somewhere, so if i'm honest i'm dreading it! Since coming back to London on Monday I have been feeling very homesick and lonely! I didn't go home, but I went round England with my family seeing grandparents etc. So now i'm on a huge come down from that!


Tomorrow I really want to get down to a book store and buy Katie Price's new book Sapphire - I really love her books, very quick and easy summer read, and with all the train journeys I will be making this summer, I will have it done in no time!


I still have some of my ASOS birthday voucher to spend, i'm struggling to decide if I should save it for something amazing or just grab some stuff in the clearance!

Anyways I have rambled on again for a long while and so i'm going to either play on Sims 3 or talk to my parents on MSN...I put money on me ending up on Sims 3!
