Hair and Beauty Holy Grail


Facebook: Ellie Woodcock Instagram:_heyitselle Twitter:@heyitsellayyy
10 Hair and Beauty products I can't live without!

1. Tangle Teezer- £10.99
This is my life saver on a daily basis! I have incredibly thick and long hair so trying to get a brush through it without it being painful used to be a nightmare until I started using my Tangle Teezer. It's great for not only brushing your hair but creating volume too! Plus its a handy size for your handbag or even your clutch on a night out :)


2. Rimmel Brow Pencil- £2.99
I don't know whether this is just me but I never truly feel human until I've done my brows and most certainly never leave the house without them done! This is the pencil I previously mentioned in my July Favourites post but it's honestly brilliant! It's super creamy and doesn't create any harsh lines. It comes in 3 shades, Hazel, Dark Brown and Black Brown. 

3.Batiste Blush- £2.99
If you don't own a bottle of Batiste then what are you doing with your life? I really couldn't live without Batiste for those lazy days where washing and drying your hair is the last thing you want to do,so instead, you just spray in some Batiste and you're good to go! All of them smell wonderful but Blush is my favourite! It's great not only for hiding greasy roots, but also for creating volume without the back combing!

4.No 7 Concealer- £7.50

This Concealer Blemish Stick from No 7 is hands down the best concealer I've ever used. It's the only concealer I've ever found that truly conceals blemishes and doesn't just claim to. It's lovely and creamy and applies beautifully! It comes in 17 different shades so you're bound to find the perfect one for you :) The price may seem a little steep but it's totally worth it.


5. L'Oreal Micellar Water- £3.33
This is another product that features in my July favourites but it is worthy of all this attention! I use it at night to take off my make-up along with an eye make-up remover, which leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh before bed. It's super gentle and is great for those of you with sensitive skin like me. I haven't had a break out since I started using this product, so I'll continue to sing its praises.


6.Simple Eye Make-Up Remover- £1.69
I love Simple's products because they're brilliant and so affordable. They're perfect for sensitive skin types and leave no irritation and in this product's case, no redness around the eyes. This is the best eye make-up remover I've ever used and ensures I don't wake up with Panda eyes in the morning!

7. Angels on Bare Skin- £6.75
I was introduced to Lush products when my boyfriend was a Christmas Temp there a few years ago. He'd bring home free samples and often things for me he thought I'd like, to which Angels on Bare Skin was one of them. I used to have pretty bad skin a few years ago with my face being blemish free on very few occasions. This product was a life-saver for me as the lavender in the product reduced redness over night, which meant concealing my spots was far easier. Angels on Bare Skin is listed as a cleanser but is great for those of us with spot- prone skin, leaving you feeling fresh and revitalised after use. 


8. Katy Perry Killer Queen- £28.50
This perfume was given to me as a gift for my 18th Birthday and I've been buying bottles ever since! It's my daytime perfume and is my second favourite to Lady Million, but isn't as pricey! It smells beautiful and comes in the most fabulous bottle which can double up as an ornament on your dressing table. It's floral but isn't over powering and smells classy, if that's a passable statement!


9. Real Techniques Core Collection- £10.99
Before becoming obsessed with Tanya Burr,Zoella, Naomi Smart and PixiWoos, I had no idea what were deemed to be good or bad Make-Up brushes. So I thought it was about time to see what all the fuss was about with Real Techniques brushes, and I'm glad I did! You can most certainly tell the difference between cheap plastic brushes and the soft fibres of Sam Chapman's brushes. The Core Collection is fab to get you started and is worth every penny! You'll notice your make-up applies better and therefore looks better :)


10. Benefit Bad Gal Waterproof Eye liner- £15.50
You can always count on Benefit products to be high quality but expensive, but I'll always pay it for eye liner. Without eye liner, I look around 12 years old, so it's essential for me to wear it everyday! This liner is creamy and stays all day because of its water proof quality and comes with a handy smudging stick to create those smoky eye looks that we all love:)


There's no harm in buying more Make- Up ladies, no matter what anyone says!


Stay beautiful,

July Beauty Favourites!

July  Beauty Favourites!
Hey lovelies! So here are a few things that I've been loving this month that you should definitely treat yourself to.

1. Benefit Roller Lash Mascara- £19.50
This is one of my favourite new products from the beauties at Benefit. The hype is honestly real about this mascara and it is soooo worth the money.The curved brush hugs your lashes and honestly makes you look as if you're wearing false lashes. I've had so many compliments while wearing this as it doesn't clump at all. Definitely worth saving for girls!

2. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eye Shadow Stick/Crayon 
   (002 Bulletproof Beige)- £4.49
Every girl should have an eye shadow crayon in her 
make-up bag because they're so quick and simple to apply! The Bulletproof Beige shade is perfect to use in your inner corner or across the whole lid and is 
the cutest shade to match that summer glow!

3. Rimmmel Proffessional Eyebrow Pencil (002 Hazel)- £2.99
This is honestly the best brow pencil I've ever used, the handy brush on the lid is great for shaping and smoothing before application of the product. The pencil itself is super soft and applies beautifully. I'd recommend the Hazel shade for those of you with dark blonde to light brown hair and just this pencil in general!

4. BeterElite (44 Precision Powder Brush)-€15
   which is around £10.40
You've probably never heard of this brand before because I hadn't either! I bought this gorgeous brush whilst on holiday in Gran Canaria. (My beauty buying obsession knows no bounds!)I use this brush for my press powder and for blending with blusher and contour powder. The bristles are super soft which allows for a flawless, matte finish to your make-up look, all whilst getting a mini face message from the brush! Find this online at www.beter.es

5. L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Micellar Water
   -£4.99
This stuff is honestly heaven sent! It removes make-up better than anything I've ever used and leaves your skin feeling so fresh. A top tip girls is do not use face wipes unless absolutely necessary, they are so bad for your skin! Use this before bed each night with a few cotton wool pads and you'll feel fresh as a daisy before you settle down for your beauty sleep!

6. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (200 Soft Beige)
   -£9.00
If you watch any YouTube beauty bloggers, you will know how much everyone raves about this foundation! I would never use another foundation after using this one. It feels so light on your skin whilst still having flawless and full coverage. If like me, you hate not wearing make-up, it's also perfect to wear on holiday as it has a SPF of 15, so staying safe while looking sweet! Also, it smells beautiful! 

I hope you liked this post lovelies, please leave any comments or feedback on posts you'd like me to do, all suggestions are welcomed! 
Stay Beautiful,
