For the last few months I
have found my lips have been extremely dry and chapped so when I was in lush I decided
to purchase one of their amazing lip scrubs. As I am not a fan of very sweet
smells I decided to get Mint Julips. I have only heard good things about the
lush lip scrubs but I have never bothered to try them. I've just tried it and
it tastes delicious and has made my lips feel lovely and soft – I think this
will so become a staple item in my makeup bag!
I have to admit this purchase was
at bit of an impulse buy, Maybelline the Rocket Volum’ Express Mascara. I have
mixed views on this product, but as I have only used it twice I can’t say if it
was worth purchasing. It defiantly has “Rocket
Volume” and doesn’t clump but I found the brush was too big so I couldn’t use
it easily for my bottom lashes.
La Roche-Posay Effeclar Duo has been creating a lot of excitement in the
beauty world for quite some time now and the hype just keeps getting louder. I
haven’t been using It long enough to decide if it really is a “miracle worker” but
based on other beauty lovers opinions I’m sure I will not be disappointed. I have
quite oily skin and I have heard it can become drying but judging on the majority
, what do I have to lose?
I know I’m not alone when I say I love Baby Lips! Although I have read
some reviews saying they were a disappointment, I personally think they’re great
value for money – but at the end of the day, there just a lip balm. Some are tinted,
others offer sun protection but the one I purchased, Mint Fresh, just smells
nice. The packaging, although it‘s nothing fancy, is just adorable. There are definitely
better lip balms out there but at £2.99, it isn't half bad.
I
have to admit I brought this shampoo bar out of curiosity and the fact it looks
a bit like a macaroon! I’m not quite sure how to use it but hopefully my
hair will be left squeaky clean! It claims to add shine and simulate hair
growth for healthy hair – and you know what I have high hopes for this product!
It has a warm, spicy scent of peppermint, cinnamon, clove and nettle (if that’s a smell) but I personally
love it, although I can be a little overpowering. I am eager to try it and
might do a review once I have (only if you’d like me to).
At the moment Maybelline are really bringing the heat,
however I haven’t heard much about their new Better Skin foundation but I recently
ran out of my much loved Rimmel Match Perfection foundation and wanted to try something
new. It has been formulated to give you “perfect” skin – to even out redness, blemishes
and darkness. I tried a little out on my
cheek and I liked the feel as it applied smoothly and didn't feel heavy. It
gave medium coverage and blended nicely although because there range of
colours were limited I found it was slightly to dark for my skin but I’m sure a
dusting of powder will fix it.
I
have used the collection lasting perfection concealer previously and loved it. It has to be without a doubt my most repurchased
beauty product ever- it comes in four different shades, fair being the
very lightest - and the shade I use. I
couldn’t find it at first but then I notice the packaging had just had a
facelift. It has quite a thick consistency , making it great to cover blemishes
and lasts for most of the day – although I wouldn't say it lasts the 16 hours
the packaging claims.
Hope you enjoyed this post
Lots of Love
