Good Things Manuka Honey Refining Scrub

Ever since I ran out of my Loreal Men Expert Pure Power, I've been in the market for a new scrub. I've been meaning to pick up a new tube for weeks and weeks but I just never remember. So, when In was in Mullingar with Tash, I picked this up in TK Maxx for €3.99. I have the mask from this range too and I really like it, so I knew this would be decent.



The first time I used it I was a little disappointed, it didn't really make a huge impression for the good, or the bad. I persevered though, because I'm not a quitter, and I was much more impressed after the second and third uses. This mask actually has left my skin feeling incredibly smooth and nourished. I followed it with the mask on the third use and it really made a difference. So much so, that as I write this, I've only got moisturiser and mascara on. I don't want to smother perfectly smooth, clear skin in product!!

I''m pretty chuffed with this mask, it's reasonably priced, and it contains wonderful ingredients like Sweet Almond Oil which is rich in natural fatty acids that are incredible for your skin to leave it smooth an nourished. It also harnesses Kaolin which draws out all the impurities so you have a long lasting, clear and radiant complexion. The scrubby bits are Oatmeal Kernal which are gentle but so effective at removing dead skin. If you use this scrub twice or three times weekly, you'll notice soon enough the positive effects on your skin.

If you want to purchase it, you can find it in Boots stores or on Boots.ie

Let me know if there are any products you want to see me try in upcoming posts!

Review: Nars Night Breed

Good morning, lovelies!

I'm a huge fan of a glossy black manicure, because it looks so chic with every look and it's pretty much effortless. My favorite thing about a nice mani is how it makes you look put together and polished with absolutely no other effort put in. This particular polish harks back to my teen years and my ever present black nails, but in a much more grown up and refined way.


I've been obsessed with NARS Night Breed recently, as it's a beautiful black polish with fine silver micro glitter, so it takes my beloved go-to nail look up a notch.

The brush is a standard slim brush that you would find in lower end polishes.
It applies well, really only needing one coat but I always apply two. It dries to a satin matte finish, so if you want a glossy finish, you've got to apply a topcoat.


As I type this, I've been wearing it for five straight days with no chipping, just a small bit of wearing at the tip of my nails. That's impressive!!

I'm absolutely in love with this polish, and will be wearing it regularly from now on. Have you any polish recommendations for me?
