Review: Thea Skincare



We use so many different products and chemicals on our skin, which is why I always like to try new products with natural ingredients. I've recently tried the hand and body butter and the coffee and shea butter body scrub from thea skincare. I've used them for a couple of weeks now so I thought I'd do a little review and let you know what I thought!

Body butter











The smell is quite fresh, but I do tend to prefer coconut body butters. I know other people who love the smell of this product, so I suppose it's just personal preference. It doesn't feel too oily on the skin and absorbs quite quickly which I like, as I hate having to wait ages to get dressed after using a product! I've been using it to prevent peeling since I'm trying my best to maintain my holiday tan, and so far I think it's helped. It's also nice knowing that the ingredients are so natural. I think the only thing holding me back is my attachment to my body shop coconut body butter!

Body Scrub




If you love the smell of coffee, then you'll love this product. It feels a little bit rough, but it feels like it's really exfoliating the skin. The smell of coffee once you've used the product isn't too strong, so the coffee haters out there might not actually notice it too much. It works well as a scrub, but as I've been trying to preserve the tan I haven't been using it as much as the body butter.
I'd really recommend these products if you're looking to give your skin a break from the chemicals and try something really natural. They also came in a cute little bag which is a nice touch. I think I preferred the body butter to the scrub, but mostly because I tend to use body butters more!

Liebster Award 2.0

Hello lovelies!


So I was nominated for the liebster award for a second time by the lovely Jordanne (check out her liebster award post!). As I've done this tag once I'm just going to answer the questions but see my previous post for my nominations and follow their blogs!




1. What are your current favourite songs?

Ed Sheeran- One (or just his whole new album because it's amazing okay.) and Troye Sivan- Happy Little Pill 



2. What made you decide to start a blog?

I spent so much time reading blogs/watching youtube videos this year when I probably should have been writing essays (oops). I've wanted to try it myself for a while, so here I am!



3. What is your favourite film?

As I said in my previous post, at the moment The Fault In Our Stars. It's emotionally draining and made me really sad but for some reason that was enjoyable, I don't know.



4. What is your favourite sport?

I'd say tennis because I played it a lot when I was younger. I'm probably really bad now but I still enjoy it! 



5. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I do a lot of dancing in my spare time. This year I was really busy at uni because I got involved with the dance societies. I'm not entirely sure how I manage to get work done, but somehow I do. 



6. What is/was your favourite subject when in school?

Dance was definitely my favourite A Level subject, I also feel obliged to say Psychology seeing as it's my degree subject.



7. What team are you vans or converse?

Converse- said with no hesitation



8. Who is your inspiration role model? 

I have lots, people inspire me for lots of reasons.



9. What phone do you have?

iPhone 5c in white #commonwhitegirl



10. What is your favourite animal?

I love dogs (mine in particular)



11. What is your favourite shop?
At the moment superdrug, I probably have a silly amount of points on my beauty card. I work in a shop next door to superdrug and my bank account isn't loving it.


Hope you enjoyed reading my answers, and go to my previous liebster award post to see who I nominated!

Liebster Award

I was really happy to be tagged by Charlotte (check out her blog!)in something called the Liebster Award, which is for new bloggers. The blogger answers 11 questions given by person who nominated them, and then tags up and coming bloggers with under 200 followers who they think deserve to be recognised.


Rules! 

1. Thank the blogger who nominated you
2. Answer the set of questions they gave you
3. Nominate bloggers and let them know!

Here are my questions and answers: 

1. Why you started your blog?
I spend a lot of time reading beauty blogs and watching youtube videos and it's always been something I wanted to try myself. Now I have a couple of months off from university it seemed like a good time to give it a go!


2. Who your favourite blogger is?

Picking one is ridiculously hard (I'm useless at this). If I HAD to pick one, I'd say Sprinkle Of Glitter right now, but I'm pretty sure I have a new favourite every day, what a useless answer. 


3. Do you upload youtube videos?

At the moment I haven't uploaded any videos. I really wanted to start making videos but it's quite a daunting thing to do, so I decided starting a blog was a good way to share my views first. Hmm we'll see..  



4. If you could ask your future self a question what would it be?

To be honest I don't think I'd want to know anything about my future self, I'd rather be surprised- hopefully in a good way.


5. Who is your biggest inspiration?

Another impossible question. I'm inspired by people all the time for different reasons, I don't think I can pick one, sorry!



6. If you could be friends with any youtuber who would it be?

I think being friends with Bethany Mota would be a lot of fun, and she'd definitely be a good person to go shopping with. 


7. How long have you had your blog for?

I wrote my first post roughly a week ago, so not long at all!


8. What is your favourite movie?

hmm, I don't think I've ever had one favourite movie, I change my mind all the time. At the moment I'd say The Fault in Our Stars because it's the last movie I watched and I loved it(I legitimately cried like a baby).


9. If you could only shop from one clothes shop for the rest of your life which would it be?

I always manage to find the odd gem in Primark and their prices are obviously appealing so I think I'd go for Primark. Also if I could only shop in one place forever I wouldn't want to pick anywhere too expensive!

10. If you could only use one beauty product for the rest of your life what would it be?
I think I'd have to say my simple moisturiser, purely because I can't imagine my skin looking very good if I didn't moisturise for the rest of my life..



11. Where would your dream holiday be to?

Anywhere with white sandy beaches and palm trees please and thank you.
