Zoella Splash Botanics Beauty Review

Oh hey hey, hope you are well today! If you follow me over on Instagram @emshelx (come say hello!) you may or may not know that I kindly received the new Zoella Splash Botanics range. As soon as Zoella's Jelly + Gelato range came out I just had to review it. I thought today was a good day to write up a little review of Zoe's newest launch, her Splash Botanics range. For me, Zoe's beauty range is so much more than just a beauty range, it's a female-owned business and it started from a young girls bedroom. It's incredibly inspiring.  If you follow me on any form of social media, hopefully, you'll know that I'm all about female power and lifting others up. I think Zoella is a great example of this, she has inspired so many young women to build businesses and she herself supports so many of us in the same industry. Why on earth wouldn't we support each other? I'm SO excited to see people smashing it in life. This week, Zoella Beauty Splash Botanics has launched let's see my thoughts. *SPOILER: LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS.

I'm the girl who falls in love with anywhere I visit. It's become a bit of a problem over the last few years because I'm constantly wanting to go back to my second home(s). I feel like when travelling, so many places become my 'happy place' and I want to remember them. Lucky for me, I've found a way to keep the memories alive in the comfort of my own home. Don't get me wrong, as much as I love to travel, home is my happy place and there truly is no place like it, I just enjoy seeing the world too. Let's talk about bringing your travels home. This is in collaboration with Desenio. 

5 Top Money Saving Tips - How I Saved Money To Buy A House

Shop the top / shop the trousers /

Money can be quite a taboo subject but it’s definitely a topic that can cause us a great deal of stress and anxiety. As a freelancer, I don’t have a guaranteed income every single month so I often find myself running myself into the ground workload wise. I also find I’ve had to be really strict with my savings, just in case *touch wood* I don’t bring in an income one month. I totally understand why so many people worry about where their next pay cheque is coming from - 2018 has been the year of people working for themselves, going freelance, job hunting and I’m seeing so many redundancies happening to people too. I watch my boyfriend, a graduate with a Masters and 2:1 in civil engineering from a red brick University struggle to get a job and now, I totally understand how hard it is for people fighting to get their foot in the door. Let's talk money saving tips and more. This is a collaboration with HSBC.

I’m absolutely in love with makeup and skincare and it’s not often I see a WHOLE range that I just need in my life.

Let’s take a look at a few of my new favourite products for Summer from L’Oreal, they’re taking the beauty world by storm at the moment with their beautiful  new releases.
