The Intern


I recently watched 'The Intern' starring Robert Deniro and Anne Hathaway. I have always loved a feel good film nothing makes me feel better than curling up with a cup of tea and watching a real feel good film.

A quick synopsis of the film for those of you who are not familiar of the film: Anne Hathaway's character has started up her own business on her own and it has become hugely successful as it has expanded. The company think of trying something different and hiring a senior citizen intern. This is where Robert Deniro comes in, he is a widower who still enjoys getting up in the morning and being productive. When he sees an advert for this internship he decided to give it a go. Anne Hataway is not thrilled to be given a senior to work with but soon grows to love him as does the audience. To have that much aspirations at 70 is so inspiring to see.

One of my favourite things in this film is the true friendship you see between this unlikely to people and they have both had their hard times as we see throughout the film and they help each other get through it and it really is such a heart warming film and I would highly recommend it to anyone especially if you need so uplifting.

LF Loves - February's Look Fantastic Beauty Box

I know I am a bit late on this one but here it is- February's Look Fantastic Beauty Box. This month's box revolved around valentines as it is the month of Love it had all things you need for a perfect Valentines Day.

1. First of all was the Monuspa relaxing Bali massage and body oil. This feels so nice on the skin, it's perfect for if you have dry skin I used it on my legs which get quite dry in the winter and it did wonders. It can also be used to massage seeing as it is valentines and it glides so smoothly and has the most relaxing scent. I would never really think of buying something like this but I am definitely going to re purchase once I have finished it.


2. Next up is one of the best body butters I have ever used. I love the body shop body butter and have done for years but sometimes it just feels much to think and isn't very good if you are in a rush as it takes a while to spread evenly on your body. This 'Bliss' Pink Grapefruit and aloe body butter, however, is amazing. Firstly the scent, I love anything with a grapefruit scent so it is doing well from the outset. It is more like a moisturiser than the body shop body butters as it glides on the skin a lot easier however it is just as moisturising as it would be from a thicker substance. Also, the size is perfect for a night away as it is in a compact tube and makes you skin feel like silk!


3. This next product I was very excited about. I always like to try new things on my brows so when I saw this 'Hi Impact Brows' kit I couldn't wait to try it. I personally prefer a pencil to a powder however I have been using the powder to fill in the middle of my brows and a pencil to get the shape and it actually stays on all day. It can also be used as a contour palette which I have used it for every day since I received it. The colours are perfect for contour as they are quite dark and not too warm and I have been having compliments on my contouring ever since I started using it so I would definitely recommend this. Additionally, it's full size!


4.  Now we are onto the lip product of the month which is the Lord and Berry Matte lipstick Pencil. I never usually use lip products I don't know why I just prefer to have natural lips. This is why I like this product because it doesn't feel as though you have anything on, it is quick and easy to apply and it is a lovely neutral shade so it is perfect for days when you don't want to wear a lot of makeup but still look as though you have made a bit of an effort. Also, it is perfect for a date night as if you do have a cheeky kiss it doesn't smudge or come off at all!


5.  Next up is a handbag essential a mini Denman hairbrush! This is perfect to keep in your bag if you are going on a date or going clubbing. Unfortunately, for me, I have quite curly hair that if you brush it when dry you end up looking as though you have been electrocuted! However, it would be useful when my hair is straight and for anyone else that likes to brush their hair on the go.


6.  The last product was  KMS colour vitality conditioner. I dyed my hair purple earlier this month so was in need of a colour protection conditioner and its purple conditioner! It is not very good if you have thick tangled prone hair like me, so I use my Tresemme conditioner first to get out all the tangles and then I do a second conditioner with this and it leaves my hair silky soft. If you have thinner hair that doesn't tangle easily you would be fine using this on its own. My colour has faded slightly but it has been about three weeks so I would expect it to fade slightly but I can still see a hint of purple.

If all of that was enough there was also a full Elle magazine included to read as you have a pamper!

That is everything I got in this months Look Fantastic box and I will let you know what I get in March's (MY BIRTHDAY MONTH)

Hope You all had a fab weekend
