Stray Decor Travel Card Holder - Review.
Hello beautiful people,
So a few weeks ago I was approached by a company called stray decor they sell travel card holders which are designed for oyster cards, train tickets, bus passes, credit cards, ID cards, bank notes and passport. They offer over 200 different designs and are made with 100% PVC; they are made to be dirt resident, have a textured grip on the inside so that nothing falls out and are weather proof.
The company has been around for 5 years, so is a well established business already. I was sent a few samples which I will put a picture below of them for you to have a look at them and see the designs that I was sent ( they clearly did there research as I was sent a leopard print one!)
Honestly I really like the products and they are a good thing if you travel a lot then you can keep everything in one place, and you won't lose your tickets! Which no one want's to happen... The postage from the time they were sent to the time I received them was so quick, which is always a good thing. The products aren't that expensive which is what I really like quick postage is always a plus to any order no matter what you've brought.
All in all I like the products I think there really good, great for travelling; I don't travel on trains a lot but when I do I will defiantly be using them as I'm always panicking that I've lost my ticket, which probably isn't the best thing but I think it will be good to have them all in one place. I recommend this product if your someone who 1.) has an oyster card and 2.) travels a lot.

I hope you liked this review and I hope if this product suites you and it's something that would benefit you that you buy from www.straydecor.co.uk there are loads of offers and deals and depending on the design they are affordable. Thank you to Stray Decor for giving me the opportunity to review your products, if you have any products you would like me to review for you let me know and I will more then likely will!
Thank you for reading, see you next week!

September Favorites.
Hey, So this week I'm doing my September favorites; I hope you like it!
First thing I really loved was the Maybelline New York baby lips lip balm, in the shade pink punch, when I first started using this product I'll be honest I was like 'ooo don't think I'm going to like this..' just because at the beginning it just dried my lips out and made them really flaky. However that could of been the way the product works or the fact that the weather here in England had changed and that's what caused them to dry out; considering that I still decided to use the product and now I CAN'T STOP USING IT, I'm addicted... It's honestly one of the best products I've used. It tastes great, smells amazing, makes your lips really soft and the fact that it has a little tint of colour in makes it even better; also as soon as it comes out my bag all the girls pinch it to use it. So if you do try it make sure you keep an eye on it because all your closest friends will want to try it!
The next thing I loved was the Pantene 2min Deep Smoothing Masque, I tried this product simply because where I've dyed and bleached my hair so much it started to get really matted and rank; so after I went to the hairdressers I headed straight to superdrug and got this one. It's for normal to thick hair and all you do is once you've washed your hair towel dry it and then apply to the hair, leave it for 2 minutes and then wash your hair really well because if you have hair like mine it takes a little longer to wash out and then dry your hair and it's just so much easier to look after and looks a lot healthier!
I also loved the from the avon naturals collection and it's the detangling spray for dry or damaged hair; I love this spray simply because it does exactly what it's meant to do and it smells so good!
Also I loved the Batiste dry shampoo, mine is in the tropical and I just again simply loved it because it does what it's meant to do which is always a good thing! Especially when your in a rush in the morning and you don't have time to wash your hair, it's my biggest life saver!
The next two are the Shock Waves mousse, I use two on my hair and that's the Volume one and the Curls & Waves; the reason I use both is just want the little bit of volume near the root of my hair and then on the ends I like a loose wave, I would normally use these when I can't be asked to do anything with my hair and on a weekend when I know I'm going to wash my hair during the day don't want to do an awful lot with it. The only bad thing with these products is that at times they don't keep the desired look that you want so you have to re-apply them to the hair, which isn't so bad if your at home but if your going out you have to take them with you and that's always a pain!
The next three products are all make-up products that I decided to try either because I've seen so many beauty bloggers raving about them or because I fancied trying something new:
The first is the Bourjois Paris Bronzing Powder in shade 51, I tried this because I wanted to try a new bronzer and so many beauty bloggers say how amazing it is and they are so right. I love this bronzer! I can't get enough of it, it has such a nice coverage and looks so natural. It's a must try!
The next is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer in the shade 010 Ivory, I tried this for the same reason as the bronzer; again I love it. I love this product so much that I've given up on foundation! I just simply blend the concealer into my skin and then that's it. It's such a nice light product and has a lovely even coverage, I defiantly recommend this!
The last thing is the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in the shade 002 Hazel, I tried this product because I wanted to see what my eyebrows would look like if I gave them some life. And boy have lived, I love this product now it's such a natural colour (for me anyway) but so easy to use and looks really nice. I now use this like everyday, although I do want to try other products I do love this and continue to use it until I find one that I love more then this; but for now this is staying and defiantly recommend.

#GettingArtyForAnxiety - Nail Art.
So after looking around at other bloggers, I came across this really great campaign on raising awareness for not just anxiety but mental health illnesses; which I really wanted to get involved with. I've always been around people who openly talk about mental health illnesses, as my mum and step mum have worked with people and charities that help people and families with all types of mental health illnesses.
"People in general tend to have this misconception that mental illnesses, whether it be anxiety, depression, schizophrenia etc. are all something to be embarassed about, something to sweep under the bed and to try and ignore. However, you're not alone, frighteningly, 1 in 4 people will suffer from mental illness in a year. Mental illnesses, when left to manifest will strip a person of their personalities, and leave you feeling as if you're a shell of your former self. This is why it's important to raise awareness of mental health, to let people know they're not alone and always have someone to talk to. #GettingArtyForAnxiety is a way of expressing your own personalities, and to raise awareness for mental illness whether you're a sufferer yourself, or a family member."
I really wanted to get my personality across with my design, so for the base colour on four of my nails a chose a really girly pink as pink is my favorite colour; so on my thumb I just left it pink as that represents me. I then chose a white (attempted) dotty design, this represents all people that are dealing with any mental health illness, as it says that no one is alone and although you probably feel like you are alone YOUR NOT there are scarily hundreds of people all dealing with the same or similar illness as you. The next design I chose was a black crackle effect, this represents that although a person may be really happy and outgoing there are times when they crack; that don't always judge a book by its cover, because they might be the funniest happiest person in the world but inside they could be the weakest most broken person, struggling to survive. The next design I chose was a nude base colour with a blue sad face, I chose this because sometimes it's okay to be sad and have down days and then this links to my pinky finger as that has again the pink base but then has a purple arrow and that represents that although your sad one day, you just have to pick yourself up and that things although not right away but they do get better.
I hope you liked my post and check out all the other bloggers to see what they come up with! & please get involved!!
NO ONE IS ALONE.

I'm going to be trying out theses treatments and I want you lovely readers to try them with me by simply using the hashtag '#ccbeauty' post on all your social networks that you have and lets see what happens!
So the recipes and treatments I'm going to try are:
Lemon Egg White Mask- that's supposed to tighten and tone skin:-
For one application you will need, juice from half a lemon and 1 egg white.

Lemon Egg White Mask- that's supposed to tighten and tone skin:-
For one application you will need, juice from half a lemon and 1 egg white.
- Beat together the egg white and lemon juice for 3 minutes.
- Apply directly to your face, avoiding your eyes.
- Leave for 10 minutes.

The Ultimate Sea Salt Body Scrub:-
This will make multiple applications, 1 cup course sea salt and half a cup of baby oil.
- Stir the ingredients together in a bowl and put into a screw top jar.
- Leave for 24 hours.
- Stir the mixture and apply to any areas of the body you wish to exfoliate.
- Massage into the skin for a few minutes then shower off.
- Pat your skin dry.
Brown Sugar Hand Softener:-
Makes one treatment, quarter cup of course brown sugar and baby oil to make into a paste.
- Mix together both ingredients.
- Using a hand washing motion apply the mixture to the hands.
- Continue the washing motion for a minute, then rinse off the warm water and pat dry.
Peach & Egg White Firming Spa Mask:-
Makes one application, one ripe peach (peeled and stoned) and one egg white.
- Whip peach and egg white together in a blender till smooth.
- Gently pat mixture over face.
- Leave for 30 minutes.

I do have other treatments, but there not very clear instructions that they give you so I'm going to try them out first and see how they are and then I'll let you know; possibly post them if I think there good.

Also before I go, I just wanted to say that I've finally reached a thousand views on my blog and I can't believe it! Thank you to everyone who reads my blog it honestly amazes me that you all enjoy what I write, thank you to not only you guys that read but also to all my friends and family for all their support. To think I only started my blog nine months ago and I've already achieved over a thousand views is so CRAZY but I'm really happy and still in shock can I say!
