My holy grail product's

Image
I talk a lot about so many different product's that sometimes I forget what I absolutely love. So I thought that I would do a post about my absolutely favourites product's So these are the product's that if my whole collection disappeared these would be the product's that I would repurchased.  So starting with base I picked up the L'oreal true match a few months a go. Which I know may not classify it for holy grail status. However this is just my perfect foundation match and I just keep reaching for it.  This will come to no surprise to anyone who reads my blog and I know I've talked about this a million times but it's just so good. This is the maybelline lash sensation in waterproof but you can also get a non-waterproof version.  For lips there was really only one product which is my MAC lipstick in syrup. This quite a dark pink but still looks so natural.  For cheeks it will be on surprised that I have chose my revolut...

Clinique british beauty blogger beauty box

Image
Now I'm not sure if this available but this is the clinique beauty box which was calibration by Britishbeautyblogger.  This was £20 and within that you get 6 product's and two of those are full size. So the first thing is one of the full product's which is there sweet pots. Which is basically a lip balm and a lip scrub this is the shade red velvet.  The next full size product is the chubby lash, fattening mascara. I've never tried any of the clinque make-up so I'm excited to try it out.  For the samples sizes, I have the take the day off make-up remover. This 30ml size which would be great for a weekend away.  They also included a perfume which is aromatics black. Now by the shape of the bottle I thought that it was a nail varnish but it's actually a really nice quite strong perfume.  For the samples its comes with dramatically different moisturising lotion and that's quite a bold statement so I wondering whether it ...

H&M beauty look

Image
Whilst in H&M the other day I picked up a couple more bits so I was able to do a whole make-up look.  The first thing I picked up was the perfectionist finishing powder. I not use powder all the time as I have quite normal/ dry skin. However I really like this powder as it's really fine so don't look to cakey or heavy.  For lips I picked up a cream lip colour in the colour rambling rose, which is quite a deep pink colour.  For blush, I already had the shade pale pink which is a very natural everyday shade. This isn't new I have had this shade for a while and I just keep reaching for it as it's so natural.  The range is quite big so I managed to pick up two base product's the right shade. I have the all day liquid foundation in the shade ivory which normally is to dark but this seems perfect. The last product I have is the cover up concealer, which from first impressions it hasn't good the best coverage but I'm go...

Nivea Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye make-up remover

Image
Whilst in boots the other day I spotted this make-up remover from nivea. This interest me a lot as it seem to have a layer of oil that when you shake the product up it mixes together. Oil is effectively proven to remove make-up as a lot of make-up is oil based, so therefore oil breaks down oil. I wear waterproof mascara a lot of time as I find it lasts longer and doesn't transfer to under my eyes and make me look like a panda. Another problem that I find is that if the product does remove my make-up it sometimes leaves my eyes very irritated and red. However this product is meant to be gentle enough and is meant to remove the make-up without rubbing. I've already tried this product and I've got to say that it is very effective. It looks very similar to the Clarins eye make-up remover but is a fraction of the price. I haven't actually tried the Clarins one but may purchase to see if the compare.

Boots haul

Just a quick running through some things that I needed to stock up on and somethings that I wanted to try.   I picked up a couple of butter's, because I have quite dry skin I really like using body butter's as they give that extra moisture that I need. I will be doing separate reviews of these once I have given them a good test so make sure to keep an eye out for that.     Also running through a couple of the styling product's I picked up. Recently I have had my haircut quite short so I wanted to picked a couple of volumising/ texturising sprays. The first is from L'oreal Elive Fibrology, now I've tried multiple times the shampoo and conditioner and I absolutely love it. So when I saw this instant thickening mist and it one of those product's that you shake up and the oils mix together and then separate. So I will let you know how I get on with this and whether it does anything to the thickness of my hair. It also meant to de...

Disappointing Product's

Image
Every once in a while I will try a product a be really disappointed by it as it didn't live up to my expectations. Just a bit of a disclaimer I didn't get sent any of these product's they are either product's that came in beauty boxes or I purchased them individually.  The first one is the a Lynx shower gel in the scent attract and this is part of there for her range. I tried this once and just really didn't like the scent of it and because it was also so strong it was so of putting. The scent is quite fresh but because it's so strong it almost gave me a headache. Lynx is a very affordable brand and my brother actually uses and really likes them so it was mainly the scent.  The next product I actually got in my advent calendar from feel unique back in december. This is the Salcura winter skin warming hand therapy. This sounded at first a really good idea, because it's so cold in England in winter that something that nourishes and warms ...

Look fantastic box april 2016

Image
So I received this box in the post yesterday and I thought that I would run through the products within it. First impressions is that this is a really good box as it contains brands that I either tried and loved before or brands that I've wanted to try.  So the first thing that caught my eye is the balance me super toning body polish. I have heard so much about this brand before and have recently purchase a full size of their cleanser. So I will do a review of that very soon.  The next item that caught my eye is from rituals which is also a brand that I've heard before and this is there Ginseng and Ginkgo Biloba hand scrub which I've never actually heard of before so I'm really excited to see how this works.  Also in the box there deep conditioning mask from a brand called Briogeo. The only problem that I find with this size product is that you only have enough to use it once so you may not be able to get a sense of what it does.    ...
