Trendz - Daisy Reviews ♡

Looking to treat yourself with a new phone case, laptop cover, camera case (the list is endless)? Look no further, we've got you covered. 

Trendz were kind enough to send me and Soph each 2 of their products to try out and review. They specialise in everything from phone cases to tablet covers and even portable chargers!! 

We both received the Trendz Slim Hardshell Patterned Fashionable Protective Case Cover for iPhone 6/6s in Floating Aqua. This costs £9.99 and is so worth it! The case is beautiful and has got floating hearts and glitter inside. Its super relaxing just watching all of the glitter float around. Even though I have seen things online about the liquid escaping cases like this one and being dangerous to the skin (not from this brand), this one is think and good quality so I don't think it will be able to. I have been obsessed with this case ever since it arrived and its one of my favourite cases I own.

The next item that only I received was the Trendz Patterned Protective Neoprene Sleeve Case Cover Bag for 13-Inch Laptops and Tablets in Ditsy Floral. This costs £14.99 and the quality is amazing. It is stitched very well and everything is very secure. I love the design on this as the blue fits perfectly with my room and you can't fault a cute floral pattern!

Both products came very well packaged, the phone case came in a little box which was inside a clear bag and the laptop came in a small cardboard sleeve (shown in picture above) in a clear plastic bag. 

These products along with all of their other products would make amazing gifts or just something which you can get to treat yourself, I know that I am definitely going to be purchasing some more things from them very soon.

I would like to thank Emily for being so lovely to work with and Trendz for the amazing products.

Arbonne Skin Care - Daisy Reviews ♡

Skincare is very important and it is vital that we look after our skin, Maimie Yelland kindly sent me 2 minis of Arbonne's skincare products to try out and review. 

As soon as I received these products I was desperate to try them out and see what they did to my skin. 
I started off by applying the 'Purifying Cleanser + Toner' to my face which had still got a full face of makeup on from the day. This product completely took off all of the makeup that I was wearing, even my waterproof mascara which is usually such a struggle to get off!! Straight after using this product I could feel such a difference in how smooth my skin was and it made it feel so healthy and refreshed. 

Next I applied the 'Oil-Absorbing Day Lotion', even though this is a day lotion I was to eager to use it so used it as a night product instead. This worked really well and when I woke up my skin was so much less oily as it had absorbed a lot of it up. This made my skin feel amazing! It was super smooth and made my skin look glowing. 

Both of these products have quite a subtle smell but they smell very fresh and natural. They are gluten free and are made with natural ingredients. 

Arbonne also specialise in other products such as bath and body, hair, sun, makeup and nutrition. Meaning that they have a very large selection to choose from. 

The full size of the 'Oil-Absorbing Day Lotion' costs £33.00. Even though this is high end I would still definitely recommend it if your looking for something which is actually going to help your skin and you are wanting to treat yourself. 

The full size 'Purifying Cleanser + Toner' is £21,00, which is definitely more reasonable and I would definitely be more willing to pay for as I love this product and it is definitely up there with the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish.

I would like to thank Maimie Yelland for being so lovely and sending me a card along with the products, I'm very grateful and loved working with you.

Beth's Current Top 5 Mascaras - Soph & Beth Beauty ♡

Mascaras are an essential to every makeup look and can either make or break the look. After testing out many mascaras I have decided to put together a top 5 list which will range from drugstore to high-end. 

(In no particular order) 

All of the mascaras mentioned in this post.

1. An all time favourite for me is the Maybelline "the Colossal Volum' Express" in Waterproof. Priced at £6.99 I haven't been able to find many faults with this product, it provides quite a lot of volume and 0 clumps!! I really like the wand of this product and find that with only a few coats you can notice a real difference. My only fault with this product is that it is very hard to get off, even when using eye makeup remover, so a good recommendation if you need a product that helps you get waterproof eye makeup off is the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. 
If you do decide to purchase this product I recommend getting it from Boots because they very often have deals on with Maybelline.

2. A higher-end mascara which I have loved for a very long time is the Benefit "They're Real". This award winning mascara costs £19.50 and is worth every penny! You can get these in black, brown and blue but as I'm not that adventurous I prefer to stick to the classic black. This has a perfect applicator and I find it really easy to apply. My one downfall with this product is that if you apply too much of the product it can become quite clumpy and make your eyelashes stick together.  

3. Another drugstore mascara that I have been loving for a while is the Rimmel "Extra 3D Lash". This is only £4.99 and I purchased it after seeing it mentioned in one of Sophie Clough's YouTube videos. This mascara is perfect for your lower lashes and for a base layer of mascara, I wouldn't say it provides lots of volume but it definitely helps define your lashes. The wand is a little bit smaller than Benefits "They're Real" but I find this helps because you can be more precise. 

4. Another high-end mascara I recommend is the Urban Decay "Perversion" which costs £17.50. This mascara has beautiful striking packaging as you would expect with any Urban Decay product. The wand of this mascara is thicker than any of the others mentioned in this post but it is quite short so you can be precise with it. However, because the wand is quite thick it holds a lot of product meaning you don't need to do many coats so you get the full use out of the product. 

5.  The final mascara is another drugstore product and its the Technic "Lashitude" mascara. Depending on where you purchase this from depends on how much you pay, the cheapest I found it for online was £1.65. I was kindly sent this mascara a very long time ago to review on my Instagram and since then it has definitely grown on me. As you can expect from the price its not the highest of quality but its perfect for school or a subtle look. The brush is very similar to the Benefit one but you can tell from looking at them side by side that there is a quality difference. 

This is what all of the applicators look like... 

These are just a few of my favourites and I'm sure as time goes on I will find more and ones to replace these so lookout for a future post with an updated list ;)

Beth's Top 5 Lip Products for Spring - Soph & Beth beauty ♡

Spring, the time for blue skies, blossoming flowers and buzzy-bees. It's time to put away your winter woolies, put together a new wardrobe and put together some new makeup fit the season. 

I have decided to put together a top 5 list of lip products which I am going to be using throughout this season and hopefully it will in encourage you to try out some new shades!!

All of the lip products in total mentioned in this post.

The first lip product which I know I will be using a lot of throughout Spring is my MAC lipstick in the shade 'Plumful' 'AC3' which costs £15.50. I love this lipstick and it definitely suits the bright colours that Spring brings. The name describes the product very well, it is the perfect plum shade and I can't find any faults with it! Like any other MAC lipstick it has got simple but striking packaging and comes with a good amount of product. 

The second lip product which I will be using throughout Spring is my Rimmel Colour Rush in the shade '200 Keep Mauving' which costs £5.99. This is a perfect Spring colour and goes with almost any outfit. Depending on how much product you put on depends on the strength of the colour but I find that little product can go a long way. The wear on this product is ok, I personally find that it wont stay on if I drink or eat but its a good size so can be easily travelled with and reapplied. It comes with a lot of product and is definitely worth the price.

The third lip product that I will be using is my I ♡ Makeup Lip Lava which is a Lip Lava in the shade 'Forgiven'. I recently purchased this and I'm so pleased that I did. I decided that I wanted to widen the variation of the colours that I wore on my lips so opted towards a nude colour as that is different for me. This is a perfect dupe for the Too Faced melted lipsticks for only £2.99!!!! I have only worn it a couple of times but so far I'm very pleased with it and will probably be purchasing more of the range very soon. 

The fourth product that I will be using throughout the season is my Revlon lip butter in the shade 'Berry Smoothie' which is £7.99. I purchased this product last summer and love the shade of pink. It fits in very well with all of the bright colours that Spring brings along with it. You get a very good amount of product and it has got a very moisturising texture. 

Last but not least, the fifth product that I will be using a lot throughout Spring is my 'Lolli Balm' from Benefit which costs £14.50. I have had this product for a while now and have had mixed opinions with it in the past, but after using it a lot more I have come to love the product as it is moisturising and is a subtle shade of pink. This is perfect for school or a look where you are focusing more on other parts of your face (eg. eyes) and don't want to draw away any attention. 

Swatches for all of the lip products; 

I love all of the products mentioned in this post and if your in need of updating or purchasing some new goodies for Spring I recommend all of the ones mentioned.

Mid February Favourites - Soph & Beth beauty ♡

As we are already in our second month of 2016, I decided to do a favourites post! I have collected together a group of things that I have been loving throughout the month of January and beginning of February.

Everything in total.

My first beauty favourite is the "Naked2" palette by Urban Decay (£38). I received this palette for Christmas and have been loving it ever since!! I really enjoy putting together new eyeshadow looks and experimenting with all of the different colours. My most used shadows from this palette would definitely be "Snakebite" and "Tease", I find that these colours make the perfect combination when put together. As much as I love this palette and couldn't recommend it enough, I'm aware that it is quite pricy especially if you are just getting in to using makeup, the brand "Revolution" make eyeshadow palettes which are very similar to the Naked range for a much better and affordable price! The only downfall with these would be that they are not as pigmented.

My second beauty favourite is "Prep+Prime Fix+" by MAC(£18). A while ago I saw the mini of it and had to pick it up as I had heard so many great reviews about it. After falling in love with the product myself, I had to go out and purchase the full size! Ever since purchasing it I have been using it constantly and I'm very pleased with it.

My third beauty favourite is a KIKO lipstick, it does not have a name but its number is "913". This lipstick was in the sale and I think I purchased it for around £4. It is quite a dark pink colour and comes out very strong, meaning that you barely need to use any of the product up and it will last a long time! I have been loving wearing this colour for the past 2 months and I'm super happy that I purchased it.

Swatches (left to right),

1 = KIKO lipstick

2 = Snakebite Naked2

3 = Tease Naked2

My fourth and last beauty favourite is the "Real Cheeky Party" gift set from Benefit which I received for Christmas. I have always been in love with Benefits blushes and wanted to try all of them out after just having tried samples. This set meant that I was able to try out all of the most popular ones. It also came with a "hoola bronzer" a  "they're real push up liner" a "they're real mascara" and "what's up highlighter" (added bonus!!). My favourite blush would definitely have to be "Sugarbomb" closely followed by "Rock" as I find that these two are better matches for my skintone.   

As for other favourites this month, I have been loving the Chanel nail varnish that Soph got me for Christmas in the shade "535, May". Its a lovely light pink colour and it looks amazing on my nails!! You can either leave it how it comes out or add a sparkly top coat which also looks really good.

This month I have been loving one of my old favourites which is "The Glam Guide" by Fleur De Force. I find that her book helped me a lot with makeup and I absolutely love all of the images and details that she included inside!! Definitely my favourite of the youtubers books.

Click here to look at it on Amazon.

My current favourite beauty YouTubers are Eve Bennett, Anastasia Kingsnorth and Tati (who Soph recently got me in to watching, thanks Soph!!). As soon as I see them in my subscription box I am quick to click on their videos and watch them. Anastasia and Eve do beauty, lifestyle and general videos, so something for everyone. However Tati usually just focuses on beauty videos and she has helped me with so many of my makeup decisions!!

And my favourite blog at the moment is Liv's blog, click here to check it out! Its amazing and her posts are so detailed with lovely pictures.

Miss Patisserie Haul - Soph & Beth beauty ♡

Miss Patisserie, known for their amazing bath bombs and unique products.
As it was recently my birthday I didn't know what to ask for, I was delighted when I received many of Miss Patisserie's products from family members and friends!! I also got a couple of products at Christmas which I was also delighted about.

Before I get in to the haul, I would like to thank everybody who gave these products to me, I am very grateful!

Also if you would like to check out Miss Patisserie's website click here.

The first gift I received was a beautiful box filled with four lovely bath bombs. They range from sparkly all the way too having little flowers on them. All of the bath bombs that I received in this box were a very decent size and they smell amazing. I am yet to try out any of these bath bombs but from previous experiences with Miss Patisserie products I'm sure they will be amazing!!

These bath bombs came in this really cute box which is perfect to keep after you have used all of the bath bombs for storage or... even more bath bombs!

The next gift I received was a candle, this candle is in the scent 'Cotton' and I absolutely love the smell! It comes with lots of product and it has got super cute but simple packaging. I definitely prefer this candle over others such as Yankee Candles because you get a lovely smell and at a good price, perfect for gifts. The candle is 100% natural soy wax and it provides a clean burning flame.

The next gift that I received was a lip tint in 'Bebe', this lip tint is the perfect pink and I absolutely love how this looks on my lips. It doesn't give you major colour but it is very subtle so I like to wear it to school. I have also found that it has helped the condition of my lips, so during this winter I have been switching between this and the Friggin Lip Balms featured in my last post.

The next gift that I received was a set full of bath pastilles, this set comes with 12 fizzy bath pastilles each with their own separate scent! From this picture it looks as if they are all plain bath fizzes, but they have all got different things in them and patterns on them. I am yet to use one of these but I'm very excited to try them out. Like all of the other products it comes in super cute packaging and is the perfect gift for a friend or family member.

The last gift I received was a set of cupcake bath bombs which look so realistic you might actually mistake them for being real cupcakes! Each bath bake has a different colour scheme, scent and item placed on the top. These would make the perfect gift if you are struggling for what to get someone as a present! In Miss Patisserie shops I believe that you can mix and match with different products like these and create the perfect set of gifts.

I definitely recommend that you check out Miss Patisseries products because they are lovely and a great treat for yourself or others.
Miss Patisseries website can be found here.

Friggin Lip Balm - Daisy Reviews ♡

As the winter weather is getting colder and more icy, it is important that we look after out lips and keep them hydrated! 

Friggin Lip balm kindly sent me and Soph some of their lip balms to try out and review. We received them just before the Christmas holidays and I haven't stopped using mine since! 
The lip balms we got sent were Chai, Cinnamon, Mint, Orange, Lemonade and Vanilla. The ones that I kept were Chai, Cinnamon and Mint. 

Names from left - right = Chai, Cinnamon, Mint

The mint scent is definitely my favourite because it is exactly the same as the mint eos but in a balm formation. I have definitely used this one the most because the scent reminds me of winter weather and ice. I have seen such an improvement in the texture of my lips since using this! 
The cinnamon and chai flavours are both very similar to one another. However, the cinnamon one smells just a little bit stronger. These smells also remind me of Autumn/Winter weather but when wearing both of these (especially cinnamon) I found that the smell was quite overpowering, but perfect for you if you've got a cold or love those scents!! 

The lip balms have got very simple packaging with the flavour listed down the sides, the colour usually gives that away anyway!! 
At first I was confused as to how you get the product to come out (stupid me!) but then I realised there was a little twisty part at the bottom of the product which you twist, this was very different from any lip product that I have used before! 
Each lip balm comes with A LOT of product, so much that it fills the whole tube provided! 

The amount of product given

The products came with a little card (shown in the image above behind the product) which gives you some information about the products/brand. It tells us that the products are 100% natural, they are made in Canada, they are gluten free, GMO free, cruelty free (not tested  on animals) and have no petroleum. 
Some of these facts (e.g cruelty free) make you want to purchase in these products over others, they show that it is a trusted brand and it is actually going to improve your lips! 

Thank you once again to Friggin Lip Balm for kindly sending us these amazing products to review, we are both very thankful! 

If you are interested in purchasing some lip blams, click HERE. I definitely recommend that you do!
