From Lip Jelly to Conditioner, Mascara to Hair Oil, Body Mist to Eyebrow Gel.
This is the perfect gift guide for your perfect Pamper Princess this Valentine's!
(Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post, products were supplied as PR Samples)
£2.00 ASDA
Eyebrows are a girls new favourite feature.
We love to spend time doing our brows and showing them off!
However, eyebrow products can get on the pricey side but not with this Brow Gel from George.
The really cool and unique packaging is just one good thing about this product, I love the tiger effect.
The product is quite a thick consistency but sparse application by just scraping off the excess before use will help the longevity of the product too, so this will last you ages!
Also the brush as an applicator is really good!
It's quite large compared to most eyebrow brush applicators but you with brows getting bigger, there is nothing wrong with that! You can be as precise as you wish with it.
2. S.O.S Hair Repair Shampoo & Conditioner - ASDA
£2.50
I've only ever treated myself to nice shampoo when I had bleached hair as I was determined to not let me 'never died on hair' get damaged by my crazy hair style choice.
But since I've not had my hair bleached I've been a naughty beauty blogger and bought the cheapest shampoo and condition on the shelf.
Bad, bad Blogger!
So when I was sent this Andrew Barton combo to try I was excited, and so I should've been!
As you'll see in my Weekly Vlog on Sunday I do a First Impression's of the shampoo and conditioner.
First the smell, oh my it's like your salon dream.
That 'salon' shampoo smell in your own shower feels so good!
The shampoo goes on like a dream, I needed to use a bit more shampoo than I normally would but it coated my hair so gently and left no - what I can only describe as: 'Squeaky' feel to my hair once washed off.
The conditioner wasn't a silicone consistency like most I use, instead it was creamy and felt gentle to my hair and light instead of thick and heavy.
I'm so pleased with this hair care combo and would highly recommend it as a new shampoo and conditioner to try out for only £2.50 a bottle.
Which would also make the perfect Pamper Gift addition with the Hair Oil (See Fig: 7).
£3.00
I love using highlighter.
I've got quite a round face and using contour and highlight has change my life.
This adorably packaged highlighter from George is perfect wether you're a highlighting Queen or a beginner and don't want to splash out on your first highlighter incase you don't like it.
It constancy is creamy and really blendable for a strong or subtle effect, with a lipgloss style applicator so allows you to use a little or a lot.
It sits almost invisible on the skin until the light hits it as it reflects the most beautiful shine with a hint of glitter that is just stunning.
£1.00
I'm not much of a lip balm girl, but I have so many friends that wouldn't leave the house without their trusty balm in their bag.
When I saw this adorable Fizzy Cherry Lip Jelly from George I thought of so many people that would go crazy for it! It really does have a jelly consistency and a little goes a huge way, so this really will last you ages.
It brings back childhood memories of 1p sweets and drinking cherryade at the park with it's childlike cherry scent, and the packaging, so cute!
£2.00
Nspa is a brand I love and use regularly.
I love their skincare and body care but haven't tried their body mist.
Cherry is such a popular scent and it's nice to see such a favourite of the fruits used in a body mist.
Cherries are that scent that you love all year round as isn't seasonal like lemon or cinnamon, and just one spritz of this on your coat or scarf before you leave the house or over you body after your body cream post shower.
Such a sweet and different gift, and NSpa are such an amazing brand to try if you haven't already!
Around £3.00 (NEW)
The word 'fibre lash' has taken over the beauty industry in the past year and I own the Younique's 3D Fibre Lash but there is not hiding in saying that it's very pricey!
So when I read the title of George's new Rose Gold Mascara (which copper shades had already caught my eye!) I was intrigued to compare them base on quality and price.
The Mascara compared to the Younique 3D Fibre Lash is much easier to used with just one product for starters, theres no swapping between the two.
But the product works really well! You've got a standard mascara brush which again is nice to see a product without the fuss. Based of effect though, it works really well!
It's not a mascara you want to layer and layer or you'll end up with spider legs.
(Unless that's your thing of course! Not judging!)
I was so pleasantly surprised by this mascara and have added it straight to my makeup bag.
With the Rose Gold Packaging this would excite any special lady this Valentine's.
£2.50 - Andrew Barton
I've never used a hair oil before as I have greasy hair at the roots and never really thought about using hair oil to treat my damaged end from roots.
I've only used this once however am really excited to see over a few more uses how it works on my hair and damaged ends.
So for now I can't confidently recommend the product for its effect but only as a great Gift Trio with the S.O.S Shampoo & Conditioner from the Andrew Barton range for your hair loving GF.
So, that's my Valentine's Pamper Gift Guide from ASDA!
Have an amazing Valentine's Day with your guy or your girl(s)!
Lots of love!

MY JULY FAVOURITES
3.8.15
Feels like I'm writing these Monthly Favourites Posts every week with how quickly 2015 is disintegrating away as high speed right in front of us.
But... another month has gone and it's time for my July Favourites!
July has been a lot colder and less summery than June and it called for a New Knitwear Purchase!
Taking ASOS' Summer Sale in my stride and at a complete advantage I purchased a new jumper from Pull & Bear. I ordered it in a large size so it's oversized so I can pair it with my signature leggings, sandals and necklace. It's so fluffy I love it!
I'd heard a lot about this New Maybelline Mascara as if you've read my blog for a while you'll know I don't really like to follow trends. However, after wanted a new Drugstore Mascara so I can savour my beloved Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara I took to ASDA.
Drawn in by the Brush Applicator I thought I'd try this New Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara.
I love it! It's great!
So defining and lengthening. My current Eyelash Curlers have recently broken.
However this Mascara creates the most amazing natural and long last curl.
I highly recommend it, and under £10 is a must have!
I have the iPhone 6 Plus and if you've not seen one before.. They're huge.
I love my iPhone though as it's perfect for Blogging, Emails and Photography.
However not only is it difficult to find cases for iPhone 6 Plus' they're quite bulky to carry around and as the most clumsiest person in the East Midlands, I'm always, always dropping my phone.
Especially with my small hands it's not easy to get that perfect photo, carry it around without a handbag and text standing up.
But, this month I found Strapzy and I'm obsessed!
Strapzy's are an elastic sticky strap you simply stick on the back of your iPhone so you never drop your iPhone again!
I bought a Clean iPhone 6 Plus from eBay for 99p and stuck my Strapzy onto it. It makes such a difference to my life with my big and beautiful iPhone 6 Plus.
It's so handy for watching videos, taking pictures and selfies and perfect for us clumsy humans.
Mulberry Handbag
I bought my Mulberry last Summer, as I have a lot of Handbags I like to alternate them a lot.
My Mulberry has been sat in it's dust bag since last year and this month I rekindled my love and has been using it absolutely non stop!
It's the perfect size, the best neutral colour that does with everything and I adore it.
B. Dramatic Bold Liquid Felt Eyeliner
Shade: 100 Black
Shade: 100 Black
I've been a fan of Superdrug's B. Collection since last year when I discovered it.
I also purchase B. Collections Liquid Felt Eyeliner earlier in the year and completely forgot about it.
I've been struggling for months to find the perfect Liquid Eyeliner for hooded eyes and simply just forgot about this one!
This Month I found my B. Eyeliner and I forgot how great it is!
It's thin, jet black and easy to use! I'd highly recommend it.
Shade: Dazzle Disco Ball
Since falling in love with makeup and applying makeup last year I found a love for Lip Glosses.
I recently watched YouTuber Videos of people raving about the New L'oreal Infalliable Mega Lip Glosses, so I decided to try them!
I couldn't resist the amazing glittery Dazzle Disco Ball Lip Gloss.
It's so sparkly and great on its on or on top of any lipstick for that extra glossy edge.
My favourite thing about these New Lip Glosses is the applicator, I've never seen anything like it!
It's great for precision and for all lip shapes and sizes.
I just want the whole collection now!
Makeup Gallery Colour Story Eye Shadow
Shade: White Frost 1
As a Bargain Hunter I've been a big fan of Poundland for years and years.
I love how you can use it as a one stop shop for everything from Toiletries and Cosmetics to Gardening and Giftware, I visit several times a week.
This month I've been after an inner corner highlight for my eyes and in a recent trip to Poudland I found the perfectly ideal shimmer Eye Shadow Shade in White Frost 1.
It's got a Crease Resistant Formula for Long Lasting Colour.
It's got a Crease Resistant Formula for Long Lasting Colour.
I'm using it daily and I love the effect!
For £1 is a no brainer!
Primark P.S Love Lip Liners & Lipsticks
Last Month I mentioned how obsessed I am with the Primark Foundation Stick.
Well this month I'm addicted to Primark's Lip Liners and Lipsticks.
They shade range and pigmentation is incredible and from 80p and upwards are a must have for your collection.
I love MAC Liners but at £12-15 a pop these Primark Lip Liners are a great alternative and I'd highly recommend checking out Primark P.S Love's Makeup Collection.
I've had a bad back since my early teens and it constantly needs attentions.
When in ASDA doing my weekly shop this month I picked up this amazing Back Massager for 50p and it's worked wonders.
My boyfriend is very respectable and understanding of my bad back and whats amazing with this handy massager is you can either use it on yourself or get your friend or partner to do it!
I've never shopped in Aspinal of London however that's never stopped me stalking the website and dreaming of owning something from Aspinal of London.
This month I decided to treat myself.
As I'm in need of an every day purse rather than a huge wallet which is proving a little inconvenient recently and having to have a bag big enough to accommodate my purse was proving a little ridiculous. So I decided to head to Aspinal of London in search of a new smaller, more everyday purse and I completely fell in love with this adorable Mini Continental Aspinal of London Purse in Black.
It's the perfect size with an ideal amount of coin, card and receipt space and it's exactly what I've been after as well as everything I'd always dreamt of.
Pineapple Nails from Primark
I've been obsessed with Primark's P.S Love False Nail Range since their release.
This Month I've been obsessed with these Pink Pineapple Nails perfect for Summer!
So much so I bought 2 Packs!
Obviously my Rodial Cleansing Water isn't available from a local supermarket so I rekindle my love for Garnier's Micellar Water.
I picked up their amazing New Handbag Size Micellar Water as well as the New Larger Bottle with New Lid (Which I prefer!).
It works exactly the same as the £29.00 Rodial Dragon's Blood Cleansing Water, the honest only different I find is you need a little more product with the Garnier Cleasing Water and a little more elbow grease. But for more than £25.00 Less than the Rodial alternative it's a no brainer.
Since I fell in love Sandals this Summer I recently got a New Pair of Kurt Geiger's from Shoeaholics.com. They're so sophisticated with the Black Suede Colouring but with Summery Bead Detailing in shades from coral to black and I just adore them.
They're so easy to wear, the most comfortable and supportive Sandals I've worn!
I was recently sent a Manicure Box by Coloritiq which included this amazing Summery Coral Orange with a slight Glitter Shimmer from Essie, called 'Sunday Funday'.
I love it!
It's the perfect Summer Shade and goes perfectly with my Kurt Geiger Sandals as previously mentioned. I've been loving wearing it with a Beige Polish on alternate nails it's just beautiful.
Burberry Body & Burberry Brit Rhythm Fragrances
I've been a huge Burberry Perfume fan since last year and own 3 Burberry Fragrances.
This July I've been wearing Burberry Body or Burberry Brit Rhythm all the time!
I can't get enough of them!
What I love about Burberry Fragrances is they're highly scented but so wearable, I get compliment after compliment when I'm wearing these fragrances, they're so beautiful.
This month I visited Ragdale Hall Spa and during my Spa experience spent a lot of time browsing the small shops around Ragdale Hall and fell in love with this Mini Quilted Bag from Melissa J.
I'd never heard of Melissa J Collection before however this bag is everything I've been looking for!
I had a lot of bags. But other than Clutches or Big Handbags I don't really have a small bag for every day. So I fell in love with this Bag and it happened to be in the Sale at £18 due to a small clasp fault.
But for now it's my new favourite daily bag, I'm calling it my Chanel (for now!).
Thanks for reading!

BIRCHBOX X HABITAT
15.3.15
On Thursday I attended BirchBox X Habitat's Event in London where they launch BirchBox's Collaboration with Habitat and showcasing this months Habitat X BirchBox as well as Habitiat's beautiful new Beauty Storage Collection featuring unique Beauty Storage Boxes and Cases to stunning New Dressing Table designs, #BringingBacktheDressingTable.
The Event was held at Habitat's stunning Kings Road, London store in Chelsea, where we were led by an adorable trail of BirchBox's to the Event location.
BirchBox aren't only collaborating with Habitat but with Benefit Cosmetics too!
Allowing you throughout March to select which of 3 Benefit Mascara's you want to sample in your BirchBox!
The event was delightful.
Champagne flowing, the tastiest canapés I've ever had with some truly wonderful people to meet.
With 22 people attending with Beauty Bloggers, Lifestyle Bloggers and passionate BirchBox & Habitat employees, a truly wonderful set up with some lovely and inspiring people.
The event consisted of a meet and greet session initially for us all to chat and share tips and ideas with one another, also allowing us to mooch around the gorgeous new Habitat Beauty Storage and Dressing Table Collections as well as through BirchBox's amazing March Box and products.
Followed by a stunning 3 course meals with amazing appetisers from pesto tomatoes, beetroot tart, couscous, chicken breast and chocolate tart for desert.
An absolutely gorgeous set up, and wonderful setting to meet such like minded people.
I was a huge fan of the amazing basil pesto pastry canapés, which were just to die for.
Not to mention the stunning dressing tables in 3 times less designs from Habitat.
The event was bar far the best I've attended yet and it was so nice and refreshing to meet new Bloggers too!
The lovely Millie from She Hearts the High Street, Natalie from The Fash Feed, Teri from The Lovely Drawer, June from Nostalgiecat and many, many others.
We we're lucky enough to be gifted with a Habitat X BirchBox March Box with all 3 Benefit Marascara to try (which I'll review for you further on in the post, sharing my favourite!), as well as this stunning Storage Box from Habitat's New Beauty Storage Collection which is just perfect!
My March BirchBox featured a Lord & Berry Eyeliner, Whish Body Butter, Catherine Malandino Eau de Parfam, Philip Kingley Elasticizer Conditioning Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment and Benefit's They're Real Mascara.
The Habitat Beauty Storage Box is perfect!
With a removable stacking top section with four sectioned quarters for you to separate your beauty products, tools or accessories. Revealing a bottom section for all your essentials to keep them neat and tidy in a gorgeous grey and orange box to brighten up any room.
I now feel like I need the whole Habitat Beauty Storage Collection for my beauty products.
As for the Benefit Mascaras...
Well, I've sene that the New Roller Lash is being talked about everywhere so I was really keen to try it with high expectations, and heres what I thought.
My favourite of the 3 has to be BADgal Lash.
With its thick, volumising brush you expect clumpy lashes however I find it the perfect mascara.
Thickening, Volumising, Lengthening and Defining!
It's definitely my choice for the No. 1 Benefit Mascara.
In second place has to be They're Real from Benefit.
With a really interesting brush with defining bristles and a good end of brush gadget of what I can only describe and precise bristles perfect for those tricky corner lashes, and getting the perfect bottom lash mascara look.
I actually love using this mascara over my BAGgal Benefit Mascara to get that perfect defined and separated look.
Lastly, unfortunately I just didn't get the Roller Lash hype, and wasn't blown away..
I didn't find it any different to using a basic, drugstore mascara and didn't really see any benefits at all.
It's a pretty bottle and I love the packaging however, I don't think it works for me and my lashes.
So, I'm in love with Habitat's Beauty Storage Collection.
Practical and pretty containers to keep you favourite beauty and pampering products that aren't anything like the unattractive perspex uglyness you'd possibly be swayed towards, and fabulous value for money as well as a great selection of designs too.
(Find Habitat's Beauty Storage here)
I'm a huge fan of BirchBox's service, I love that they introduce you to products you wouldn't have tried or selected yourself and that they introduce you to new loves from fragrances, beauty and skincare.
My favourite thing about BirchBox is how easy and simple it is and delivered to your door monthly, it's really something to look forward to and get excited about!
BirchBox is great value for money for only £10 a Month for your Box of products worth over £45 for you to try before you buy.
Go and check out BirchBox if you haven't before and get hold of their March Box and select which Benefit Mascara you want to try!
And head over to Habitat and check out their New Beauty Storage as well as their stunning Dressing Table Designs, and the rest of their truly amazing selection of stock.
