KEEPIN' IT ‘HOT’ IN THE HEAT


Howdy Scrum-chums! How are you?

Well, I don’t know where you are, but in the UK it has been scorching!
Yesterday in Matlock it was 28 degrees Celsius!
So, I started thinking… What do I need in my makeup bag on a day like this? I can’t use foundation because it will melt off my face won’t it and, how do I keep on top of the sweats?
So, last night I sat with my little makeup bag and chose my five ‘desert island essentials’ and I have even managed to squeeze in the things you probably wouldn’t think you could get away with in such heat!

5. GETTING HAIRY!
If you have wavy hair like mine then you’ll know how crazy it can get in the heat, or if you have a fringe you really don’t want it being stuck to your sweaty brow all day do you?! No, so number five on my list of essentials is my MINI HAIRBRUSH! I couldn’t live without it, I take it everywhere, but, I know it will come in most handy in my bag on a day like yesterday!
4. GET IT OUT OF YOUR WAY!
Staying with the hairy subject for number four I have selected a simple hairband and some grips! Do you have long hair? Yes? It can get super-hot in these conditions, right?! Well, with this desert island essential you can create a very quick fix, how about the popular, pretty, messy bun? Plus, the grips will come in very handy if you have a fringe, like in number five you don’t want it sticking to your brow sweaty forehead!
3. BOILING, but, BEAUTIFUL!

Forget BB for Blemish Balm, it shall now be known as Boiling Beauty Cream! So, you can’t use your favourite foundation in this heat unless they’re powders really, can you? It will just melt right off! So, forget foundation! It’s a thing of the past! Cover up those imperfections with the fabulous BB Cream… Like L’Oreal says, it’s MAGIQUE!!! Need I say more?!
2.   PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!
So, I’m sure that you wacked on the antiperspirant when you woke up, but, you know that your entire body perspires so it’d be a little difficult to hit every inch with that little bottle wouldn’t it? So don’t forget that MINI BODY SPRAY to stay smelling fresh and rosy!
It’s always good to whip out a little bottle and freshen up, both for you and the people you are with! Plus, it shows that you care about your personal hygiene!

1. KEEP IT ‘HOT’ NOT DRY!
 Now, I’m sorry Scrum-chums but there is nothing less attractive than dry, chapped lips and I think you’ll agree that it feels awful too! So, the NUMBER ONE ESSENTIAL is LIP BALM/ LIP GLOSS! I think you get it!

There you go! My 5 Top Desert Island Makeup bag Essentials!
What would you add to the list?

 In my opinion these products do me good, but I'm sorry if they don't fill your satisfaction.

 Well, I don’t know what you think of it, but If like me you are loving Cheryl’s scorching hot, bold, new look and “It’s a non-stop vision that’s playing on your mind,” (See what I did there!) You’re probably, also craving for the same striking outfits for your own personal wardrobe, right?

Well I am, but, unfortunately I can’t purchase them myself because I’ve put myself on a strict spending regime, but why should that stop you?! So… just for you, I went on an internet shopping hunt for the exquisite and exclusive outfits included in Chezza’s fierce, fresh video!

Clean&Clear-Advantage Spot Treatment Gel

Hello Lovelies,
Today I have a review of my 'Clean&Clear Advantage Spot Treatment Gel' by Johnson&Johnson.




I have been using this product for about two years now and it's never failed to impress me! It does exactly what it says on the tube, plus, it's just the right size to shove in your pocket or your handbag.  
The gel feels nice on the skin without feeling sticky, heavy or somewhat uncomfortable and you can feel it start to work as soon as it's applied. It really does keep those spots away, as well as those irritating blackheads- BONUS!
One of its many fine qualities is that the opening to the tube has a small tip which makes it easy to place the gel precisely where it is needed, but if you need a more full coverage then that's easy too! You just, simply, squeeze a pea-sized wad of gel onto your finger and evenly spread it over the area it's needed. This takes no more than two minutes I promise!
Another excellent feature of this product is that it can be used over or under makeup. The only thing I dislike is that if you are trying to achieve a full coverage over your foundation it tends to sit on top of it and makes you look sticky and shiny. Nonetheless, a precise application looks fine, I just prefer it under my makeup so I know it's right on top of the problem.
I am prone to getting blemishes and blackheads and this treatment has done wonders for me, so go ahead and try it!

So what do you think? Will you be trying this product?

Let me know if you do,
Thanks for reading Darlings!
