Review: Vaseline aloe fresh moisturiser

Hello everyone!

Today's post will be about one of my favourite moisturisers. As you may or may not know, I'm obsessed with aloe vera! For some reason I'm always drawn to aloe vera and this product was no different. I'm not too sure as to where I actually became aware of this product but I knew it just had to be mine so my mum kindly picked up a bottle for me whilst it was on offer.

I'm generally not too much of a fan when it comes to Vaseline products but surprisingly I really enjoy this product and it is definitely an essential when it comes to my skin care.




As you can see from the product above, the consistency is rather runny but I love this as it makes it extremely easy to spread. It also is very thin which is another thing that I love about this product as I don't get the sticky feeling wearing it that I've had with some moisturisers.

Probably my favourite thing about this moisturiser is that you can use it on your face as well as your body which means I don't need two different moisturisers. This smells typically of aloe vera but I love this smell so it isn't a problem for me and as it isn't an overpowering smell I think even people who dislike the smell of aloe vera would still be fine using this.

Overall I'm extremely impressed with the product and this is the only moisturiser I have used since buying it around 6 months ago which shows just how much I love it!

What is your favourite moisturiser?

NOTD: metallic two tone

Hello everyone!

For the New Year's celebrations I wanted to paint my nails but was unsure what to have as recently just having my nails one colour in my eyes is very boring! However, I didn't have the time to do anything too adventurous and therefore settled for having two tone nails (which is definitely becoming a favourite of mine). 

The colours I decided to use to create this look was MUA nail varnish in shade 11 and Essie nail varnish 'smooth sailing'. Is it just me or do these colours together actually remind you of New Year?

I absolutely love this colour combination and I'm extremely impressed with the formula of both of the nail varnishes.



What do you think about this combination?

I also wanted to let you know that I know a lot of my posts recently have been NOTD's but I definitely have different posts coming up including a couple of hauls!

As always, thanks for reading!

Would you like to guest post on mysugarrushx?

Hello everyone!

As you may be aware, I have been extremely busy with university work recently and my blog has definitely suffered with a lack of posts! For a while now I have been thinking about having people do guest posts on my blog and this seems like a perfect time to do this. 

This would definitely help me out a lot and I'd really appreciate it even if only one of you said you are interested!

If you are interested either email me (xLAURAxDELANEYx@hotmail.co.uk), tweet me (@mysugarrushx) or comment on this post with either your email or twitter so I can contact you!

NOTD: metallic nails

Hello!

I thought I'd show you my nails currently as I'm definitely in love with the metallic colours! Both of the colours I used came from a nail colour collection set called 'woodland escape' which can be purchased from wilkinsons (I did a blog post about the set here).

I absolutely love both of these colours together and for some reason this NOTD reminds me of new years.


Do you like these two colours together?

Thanks for reading!

Nail colour collection: woodland escape

Hey guys!

For Christmas, amongst many of the amazing gifts I received was this nail polish set. I'm always painting my nails and it's a passion that I definitely share with my mum and due to this, she picked up this lovely set for me which is from wilkinsons for only £5!  

The first thing I noticed about this amazing little set is the packaging, I don't know about you but I'm definitely the sort of person that gets attracted by packaging and not actually the product itself. When I finally focused on the colours I was able to see that they are the perfect colours for autumn/winter.




(The swatches above are in the same order as the nail polishes in the photo's)

Overall I absolutely love this set and for only £5 I think it is a complete bargain and I will definitely be looking in wilkinsons to see if they have any more sets that are similar.

Have you tried this nail colour collection set?

Thanks for reading!

Revlon lip butter: berry smoothie

Hello!

So recently I was lucky enough to win a lip butter from Revlon. I hadn't actually realised I'd won until it arrived at my house so it was definitely a nice surprise. If you have been reading my blog for a while then you will know that I love the Revlon lip butters and did a post on them here.

The shade I received was berry smoothie and as I'm generally into paler shades I was slightly worried that I wouldn't be able to wear it. However, I've been wearing it almost everyday recently so it's safe to say I was worried over nothing!






I won't go into too much detail about the actual product as I'm sure you would have heard of the Revlon lip butters before but what I will say is that the colour is perfect! It's definitely not as pigmented as some of the other colours that I have but it gives me lips a lovely colour and a colour that isn't too over the top for me.

Have you tried Revlon lip butters?

Thanks for reading!

NOTD: cookie nails

Hey guys!

As the title suggests, today's post is a NOTD and is definitely a simple one to create. The two colours I used here were 'brownie' by W7 on four nails and for the dots and 'case study' by Essie. 

I really love this combination as it's so simple but I think the colours work really well together and thought they looked rather like a cookie!
