This month I have been carefully compiling a few things that I have been using through out the month to share on my blog. It is now officially the start of Spring so I have been trying out a lot of season products also. So here goes...
Skincare
A skincare product that I have been using non stop this month Is the Utan and Tone gradual facial night creme tanner. This time of year the weather is still pretty chilly with hardy any sunshine and my skin tends to look super pale, so I did some research and GLOSSYBOX recommend this product. It retails for £12.50 and it can be purchased from the UTan and Tone website. This creme is designed to gradually tan your face over night whilst enriching it with vital antioxidants like vitamins C, B5, B6, B9 & K. It also claims on the website that 'organic tanner- this super moisturising night crème is all you need to give your face that holiday glow.' I love this creme so much, it evenly tanned my face and the fact that I can put it on at night before I go to bed saves me so much time and effort that normal fake tanning would take. The packaging for this tanner is so cute, it incredibly bronzed and has a rose gold cap it would be the perfect product to take on holiday in a makeup bag as it is travel sized. I think this brand is super innovative and I can't wait to try they're other products.
Beauty
A beauty product that I think is possibly my favourite thing ever is the Gerrard Cosmetics Slay All Day setting spray. I have seen so many pictures on Twitter from beauty bloggers raving about how amazing this setting spray is so I jumped onto Beauty Bay to see what is available in this range. In total there 7 variations of the spray, all of them are different scents and colours. The one I chose was the peach version as it is one of my favourite scents. A large bottle of the spray is £14.50 and there are smaller version of them all for £10, their is all a 'garden party' set which features the cucumber, lemongrass and jasmine scents for £29.50. I was so impressed by the quality of this setting spray, before I was using the Urban Dicay all nighter setting spray but the Slay All Day spray is by far the better spray. It kept my face looking fresh all day, even in the rain. It 's amazing quality for the price point and it something I highly recommend. Something that I wasn't too happy about was the amount of product and the packaging. For £10 I expected a lot more as the bottle was so small but I'm still in love with it so I guess its quality over quantity.

Netflix Series
A Netflix series that I've been watching non stop this month is Peaky Blinders. It's an action drama television series based around the British gang culture in the 1920's. There is current 3 seasons out but only the first 2 are on Netflix, but you can watch them through other websites. I can't stop watching this it has so many clever plot twists and I highly recommend people to go watch it.
My Car
It seems silly to write about my car on my blog but there hasn't been a day this month that I haven't used it so it make sense it to include it. Since I passed my driving test on the 26th of January I have been on the hunt for the perfect car. I did have a Ford KA ready to drive when I passed, however it had so many problems and eventually it got written off, so I started looking for something else. A friend recommend a car dealership called Arnold Clarke that sell an array of different makes and models of cars. I went down and spoke to sales team and they let me test drive a few different cars. In the end I decided to go with a Fiat 500.
I absolutely made the right choice with my Fiat, It is so easy to drive and I treat it more as a fashion statement then a car. Since I only use my car from getting around socially I didn't need anything with a lot of power so the 1.2 was the best thing for it. The insurance is relatively cheap on my car, to say that I am a new driver and the package I chose at the dealership includes road tax and 2 years MOT. So far I think I have done well keeping my car clean, I have definitely learn't more about driving since passing my test and Im so happy that I stuck to my goal and achieved what I wanted. If your looking to buy or finance a new car then I suggest checking out Arnold Clarke.
