Recently I bought an avocado, which after hearing lots of reviews about it, I used as a face mask! The results were amazing, and so I thought I'd share with all of you the benefits of putting pure avocado onto your face and letting it sit for 20-40 minutes.
Avocados are well known for being one of the words most healthiest foods and are recommended in a babies diet, with loads of health and beauty benefits. In some countries it's also known as a butter fruit or alligator pear! This fruit is full of natural and essential nutrients and this is why it's commonly used for treating health and skincare problems across the world, as well as being consumed as food.

2. They treat Brights disease and often psoriasis.
3. Avocados instantly hydrate and brighten the skins complexion, this fruit is often used in moisturizers for it's moisturizing properties.

Rimmel Primer
Disclaimer: Rimmel London DO NOT test on animals, yet products from them sent to china are.
This may be the new holy grail of primers... no more than £6.50 a tube and works so so well for the price.I picked this up today after having to get rid of my other primer (baby skin) because it was tested on animals.
I've just applied it underneath all of my make up that I usually wear, and holy cow it's perfect. I have really dry skin so most of the time my primers and foundation make my skin look flaky, however with this product I didn't even put moisturiser on before hand and it's extremely smooth and glowy like it says and I don't feel like I have anything on my face at all!
The primer itself isn't tinted, it's more of a moisturiser consistency and colour. I feel like I could wear this alone if I didn't feel like applying all of my make up. Great product, great price.

Golden Egg & Hoppity Poppity
Hoppity Poppity and Golden Egg are two of my favourites from the Lush Cosmetics Easter range.
This adorable little bunny is only £2.50 yet I would put this on my list of favourite products probably coming in second or fourth! I've heard a lot of different reviews on this product, most of them saying it's rubbish for the price and smells awful. I totally disagree. It's an extremely cheap price for a Lush bath bomb and the smell is made up of violets, lavender and lime. A really refreshing yet relaxing smell. The popping candy helps it fizz away and it's gone within a minute so you have to watch it closely until it's gone, but other than that it turns the water the prettiest pastel purple/pink colour and I just overall really enjoy this bath bomb and would definatley buy it again and again.This sparkly golden egg is also from the Lush Easter range, which means it's only out for a short amount of time before it's gone for another year. But luckily I picked it up this year and the appearance blew me away, the gold dust will stick to everything and is really hard to rub off... Which I learnt after putting my hand onto my face after holding it... This one takes a lot longer to fizz away compared to the hoppity poppity, roughly 3-5 minutes or more depending on how hot the water is. It smells strongly of sweet toffee/caramel and leaves the water a bright yellow colour with lots of glitter.
