Soap and glory sugar crush body scrub

I have been recently been using the soap & glory sugar crush body scrub and I have came to the end of it. At the start I wasn't very fond of this body scrub as I thought the smell was a little to much. But the more I used it the more I liked now I love it and can't wait to repurise it as it is amazing. It smells very fruit, it like lemon and lime smell 🍋. It just leaves you skin feeling so smooth. I have 2 ways of using the product I would ether put it on my skin is dry before I get into the shower with just my hand and leave it on for a while then rinse it off when I get into the shower  or I would apply when my body is wet when I'm in the shower and scrub in with a sponge. This are the methods that work the best for me. It leaves your skin feel so refreshing and smooth I would defiantly recommend this to anyone. If you have sensitive skin I wouldn't scrub it in to your skin, I would just gentally rub it with your hand because it does leave your skin a bit red for a while. Over all this is a great product and it's only £8.00 to buy from boots and boots is also doing 3 for 2 at the moment and you can also get it in travel size to try out before you buy the big one. I can't wait to repurise it 💜

Starting from the left this is were I storage my lipstick and lip stains I got this from tkmax a long time ago it was the first piece of acrylic storage I owned I cost £12.99 .I was in the other day and they still have them in stock in my local tkmax. Next items I have my cotton buds and cotton disks . The pink jar was a ted baker candle from boots ,when the candle was done I cleaned it out and I now am using it for cotton buds. The glass jar with the bird on top is were I store my cotton disks I got this from Bhs (British home stores) it cost £4.50 they had a 10% sale that day so it should have been £5.00. On to the next item is my small acrylic drawers it is from homebase I ordered it online and my dad went to pick it up in the store and it was smaller than I thought it was going to be but he lost the receipt so we couldn't bring it back it cost £12.99 which it wasn't worth the money. I store my lipgloss in it as I don't have very much of them. Last item is from b&m which is a flower pot that cost 99p I store my brushes in this Pot.
All 4 of these picture are of inside my muji drawers I have a wide 2 drawer it cost £10.95 and a wide 3 drawer cost £17.95

My dressing table

This is my dressing table with all my everyday makeup in the acrylic storage. I'm going to do a review on all my storage and tell you where i got them so to start off I'm going to talk about the dressing table itself. The dressing table is from dunelm it is called Toulouse it cost £150.00 you can get it in 3 different colours I got the white it comes with the mirror with two small drawers and a stool. The mirror and drawers are together and you just set in on top it's not attached with nails or sews so you can lift off if you want it came full assembled in a large heave box which need to people to carry. This dressing table is my pride and joy I looked for so long to find the one I wanted. I saw a very simulaur one in ikea called Hemines  but it was £200.00 and it didn't come with a stool and was very plain and basic. Most YouTubers and beauty bloggers have the Malm dressing table also from ikea which has the big drawer at the front but also this was very plain and basic and no chair or mirror came with it and it was £95 which is reasonable cheap but I just wanted something that had everything with it and was a good price so I spoted this online and went the next hour and got it. This dressing table is very Victorian style and my bedroom is very shaby chic so it blends in well. The only bad thing about this dressing table is there isn't a whole lot of room and storage space and it looks cluderd so I'm thing on getting the Alex 5 or 9 drawer from ikea to space most of my things out or let me know if you have any other ideas that I could do to make it less cluttered. I'll leave all the links below on were to get the dressing table I have mentioned and also will be doing a review on all my storage I have sitting on my dressing table in my next blog 💜

Review on the urban decay setting spray

This is the urban decay make up setting spray it is just the normal all nighter long-lasting, it's an oil free spray so it doesn't make your skin look oily and is suitable for all skin types, it's also a weightless formula and last up to 16 hour. I bought this as my make up never stayed on for me and to be honest I even tried using hairspray witch made my face all stick and did not keep it on I was recommend this product by my friends and also a lot of people on YouTube used this product. I tried Mua setting spray and it just didn't work for me it also smelt like smoke but the urban decay has a nice refreshing smell to it. The way I apply this to my face I hold it half an arm length away from my face and spray it in an X up and down my face and let it dry  before I put any makeup product on to my face then I apply my make-up and then a finally an X up and down my face and it keep it on all day while I'm a collage. I highly recommend this product to use for everyday routine the price of this product is £19.50 but is defiantly worth investing in here is the link to find out more about this product http://m.houseoffraser.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-hof-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=180973959

Hi everyone this is my first ever blog post, I'm going to start by telling you a little bit about me well my names Katlyn, I'm 17 my birthday is on the 1st July and I am qualified beauty therapist so I can do the likes of waxing, tinting, mani-pedicures and the basic make-up. I'm a beauty school drop out as after my course was finished I started training to become a hairdresser I'm still at it and hoping to qualify as a hairdresser  in June 14 and go on to train more as a hairdressing and also do apart time higher make-up course as I just love make-up and just can't stop buying things I'm a little obsessed. My blog is going to be about make-up and hair and I hope some day soon I will have my own YouTube channel doing makeup and hair. The person that inspired me into doing this blog was zoella I just love her channel and blog. Thanks for reading my all about me, hope you like it :)
