Vaseline Essential Moisture

I've had this lotion for about two weeks now and I can't find one fault with it. I bought it from Superdrug and I mainly bought it there because it was £2.29 and usually it's £4.69 for the 400ml bottle which I think is pretty impressive and good value for money. I usually buy hydrating lotions as I have dry patches of skin due to my eczema scars. 

At first I tried the pure oat extract one, as I didn't want anything too over powering or highly fragranced as I didn't want it to irritate my my skin, and it didn't so I bought all three. There is cocoa radiant, aloe fresh and essential moisture.

('stratys multi-layer moisture' means that it infuses moisture at the top, core and deep down layers)

The Cocoa Radiant one has pure cocoa butter in it and it leaves skin feeling healthy and glowing and it 'ignites skin's natural glow at the source' and it's a rich feeling lotion for healthy glowing skin.

The Essential Moisture one has pure oat extract in it and it absorbs quickly without the greasiness that some lotions leave behind and it's a clean feeling lotion for healthy soft skin.

The Aloe Fresh one has pure Aloe Vera extract in it and leaves skin feeling light and fresh (I 100% agree with that!) and it's a light feeling lotion for healthy fresh skin.

The consistency is quite runny, so applying it to the skin is very easy and it sinks in almost instantly. Once it's soaked into the skin it leaves it feeling very fresh and moist and it doesn't leave any greasiness either. Although, I think if you're exposed to the sun for a while you may have to reapply it. They also smell amazing! I'm especially in love with the scent of the cocoa radiant one and the aloe Vera one is a close second.

After two weeks of using it I've noticed a change in my skin it feels very soft and feels replenished and it's also helped reduce the redness of my scars and ease the itchiness of my eczema. 

You can buy it from the Superdrug website:

Soap and Glory: Hair Supply, The Righteous Butter and Flirtigo

Today i'm reviewing Soap and Glory Hair supply, Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter and Soap and Glory Flirtigo.

Firstly, I'm starting of with the Soap and Glory Hair Supply. It's in a 50ml bottle, and on the front it says 'Gloss-giving radiance and repair mask, for all hair types'. I love this product so much, it has an amazing fresh aroma to it, during the application and washing it off, my hair felt amazing. However, when I was blow drying my hair and rubbing my fingers through it to make it dry faster, it made my hair feel horrible and disgusting. Although, when I straightened my hair afterwards, my hair looked and felt amazing, my hair had a lovely glow and shine to it and it felt highly mosturised and nourished. So I recommend that you buy this product.

Secondly, is the Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter, it's in a little 50ml pot. And like all Soap and Glory products it smells so fresh and amazing. This butter is a heavy consistency but it sinks in well and makes my skin feel really hydrated. Also, the products contain Shea butter, Aloe Vera, Rosehip seed oil and vitamin E which are all good for the skin. So if you like moisturising body products go for this!

And lastly, is the Soap and Glory Flirtigo. It's in a 250ml spray bottle and it's a spray-on body moisturising mist. The product again smells so fresh and amazing. This product is really good if you are in a rush as a couple of squirts on each limb, rub it in and you are good to go! I wouldn't recommend using this product with a perfume as the aroma from it stays on you all day!

Sixth Form VS College

I think this time last year I was debating on whether to go to Sixth form or College. So I'll be listing the pros and cons below:

Pros for Sixth Form:

You can wear whatever you want and wear however much make up you want, you are free to express who you are.

You have SO much support whether it being from your tutor, the head of Sixth Form, the deputy head of the sixth form or even the counsellors.

If you're thinking of doing A Levels i'd recommend going to sixth form as I think Sixth forms are more A Level orientated  and there is a strong focus on them as well. 

You also may have free periods, where teachers 'expect' you to do homework or further reading in the common room, although some common rooms have more of a social setting so don't feel you have to do your work in there unless you haven't done the homework for the teacher you have next, then it's probably a good idea to do it then!

Cons for Sixth Form:

Sixth forms are mostly based around a Levels and some sixth forms do Level 2 BTECS, so be prepared for the amount of work you have to do and the intensity of the work you have to do, as A Levels are significantly harder than GCSE's and require a lot more time and effort than GCSE's. 

You have a lot more responsibility than school, if you fail your A-levels you can't blame it on someone else, it's your fault for not making sure you were familiar with everything in it. If you don't get to school one day, the response "I woke up late so I stayed in bed" won't work. This is real life, you are a mini adult and have to be responsible for your own actions and choices.

Right lets crack on with college!

Pros for College:

Just like Sixth Form, you can wear whatever you want and wear however much make up you want, you are free to express who you are

College has more vocational courses such as brick building, hair and beauty, health and social care etc. These courses are more practical and suit anyone especially those who didn't like GCSE's as they were stuck behind a desk most of the time and preferred to be doing practical. If you are one of those people then COLLEGE IS FOR YOU!

Cons for College:

If you're doing A levels I think college is a lot more vocational course orientated and you might not get all the support you need, which I think is essential for taking A Levels

Also like Sixth Form, you have a lot more responsibility and in essence you are a mini adults. Although College I feel college is a lot more laid back with rules and things and they don't contact your parents if you're late or are absent etc.

However, choosing between a Sixth Form or College all depends on travel arrangements, career aspirations, if you want to stay with your friends or if you want to be own your own and meet completely new people etc.

Newness

Heey! So I thought I'd start writing a blog and this will be a sort of introduction to me and what i'm about. (Thought I'd do it in bullet points as it will be easier)  So lets get cracking!

I'm 16 years old

I live in England

 I have two cats called Fudge & Pepsi (cringey names but I named them when I was in year 6)

(Fudge is on the left and Pepsi is on the right, I apologise for the rubbish quality)

I'm currently at Sixth Form and I'm studying A Level Psychology, Sociology and Dance.

 I also work at Marks and Spencer and I have been since November 2O12

 I also LOVE any programme that is on E4 like How I Met Your Mother, New Girl, The Big Bang Theory, Revenge, Made In Chelsea etc.

 I have also done quite a bit of travelling in the last 4-5 years or so, in year 8 I went to the Ardeche which is in the south of France, Switzerland in 2O1O, New York and Africa in 2011 and last year I went to Singapore and Malaysia.
