Soap & Glory Haul

I have only tried a couple of make-up things from Soap & Glory which are the Archery Brow Pencil and the Archery Brow Sculpting Crayon & Gel which are both really nice, if I had to pick one I would probably go for the Archery Brow Sculpting Crayon & Gel because its really handy if your going travelling since its a 2 in 1 and the crayon itself is really easy to use and builds really nicely also the gel is really good, it keeps your brows in place all day. The only down side to the gel is that if you use to much it can make your brows feel a bit hard and crunchy but as long as you only use a little its really nice. 

I have been wanting to try more from Soap & Glory for some time now so I thought I would only get a few things to see what I thought, I did not want to get lots of products and then find out they are rubbish but since I really like the 2 brow products that I have tried I was thinking I was going to really like what I bought.

Glow All Out: This is a soft and creamy powder highlighter, one minute I think its pink then I think I can see peach in it so Im going to say its peachy pink. Its got a really nice glow to it which I think will be really nice on pale people like myself.

Love At First Blush: I really like highlighter and blusher all in ones because Im always running late you would think since Im in my late 20s I would have worked out how to be on time but no its just something Im not very good at, Im so bad at being on time its now a running joke with my friends and sometimes I wonder how I even make it to work on time well just on time. This is a really nice pink shimmering blush, I dont think this blusher will stop me from being late all the time but I might just be a little less late. Probably not this blush is just a blusher and its not magic but at lest I wont have to spend time putting blusher and highlight on since this does both.

      Glow All Out                                  Love At First Blush

Sexy Mother Pucker Matte Lip: Ok I have done it again I have bought 2 lip products that are almost the same colour but I did need more nudes cause I dont have alot of nude shades. This is a matte lip stick but the name gave that away I thinking, I have not tried it yet but Im looking forward to trying it. The colour is really nice its a nude mixed with berry and the colour pay out looking like it will be really good.

Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer: If Im buying somethings to try from Soap & Glory I thought I have to get Sexy Mother Pucker since I feel like I hear so meany people talk about it. I have tried it a couple of time since I got it, Im not ready to do a review for it but I can say I really like the brush which a fat of 2 sides and thin on the other 2 sides. Its more of a brown nude instead of a berry nude and its just feels like normal lip gloss with a good colour pay out. From the few times I have tried this I have not be wowed by it but there is still time.

                  Sexy Mother Pucker Matte Lip             Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer   
              Choccoberry                                        Charm Offensive          

So thats everything I got from my Soap & Glory haul, its just a wee haul to try out a few more products. Im pleased I bought the Sexy Mother Pucker Matte Lip and Sexy Mother Pucker Shine Lip Lacquer to try but its the highlighter and blusher that I might be in love with.

Boots Haul

When I was feeling very ill the other week I needed some retail therapy to try and make me feel better because shopping is going to help get rid of the flu or I would like to think that anyway but I was to ill to go shopping to I bought a few things on the Boots website. 

I bought a few things that I was needing like hair spray and hairbands but I did get a few treats. 

Boots Essentials Hair Spray (2 for £3): I bought the boots hair spray to try it out because I have tried the Boots Essential Styling Mousse for curly hair and its really good, if you have curly hair you should give it a go. The mousse never leaves my hair feeling crunchy, keeps the curl looking lovely all day and its so cheap for how good it is. This hair spray costs £1.99 but when I bought it the hair spray was on offer 2 for £3 so yes I bought 2 of them. 

Boots Thick Red and Black Hairbands (£1): I was running out of hairbands so I think I would get some more since I was doing some shopping, I normal always get black hairbands but my hair is coloured red right now so when I saw the red ones too I had to get them. I dont think I have tried the boots hairbands out before but Im sure they just as good as any other.

Boots Black Kirby Grips (£2.50): Got some kirby grips cause I have lost all my other ones, Im always losing kirby grips and Im sure I cant be the only one.

Scunci Clear Polybands (£2.99): Thought I would get these for a bit of fun and to try out new hair styles.

Boots Ingredients Face Mask - Super Hyaluronic (2 for £3): I have really dry skin so when I saw this new face mask from Boots I thought I would give it a go plus it was on offer when I got it which was nice. I will do a full review on this face mask but I did try it the other night and really liked it, my skin felt so soft and hydrated. I think this face mask is brill and a bargain. 

Oh K Face Mask - Avocado (£3): I may have got this face mask just because it looks cute but also cause avocados are meant to be good for the skin. I have not tried this one yet so I cant say if its good or not.

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner (£10.99): I bought this conditioner because its for curly and thick hair and since my hair is both I thought its worth a try. I would not normal spend £10.99 on a conditioner but if it makes my curls look good then its worth it.

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave-In Conditioner (£12.99): This is a cream leave-in conditioner instead of a spray and it looks like a really good size. It smell really good and Im looking forward to trying it.

Clinique Pop Lacquer Lip Colour and Primer and Clinique Pop Matte Lip Colour and Primer (£16.00): When I ordered these I did not realise these we the same colour. I wanted to try the lacquer and matte lip colours from the colour pop line from Clinique because I have tried the cream one which I really like. 

Clinique High Impact Mascara & Chubby Highlighter Deluxe Samples (Free): I got these free because I bought 2 Clinique products. I think I have tried this mascara before but it was some time ago so it will be nice to try it again. The highlighter it a really nice colour and Im really looking forward to trying it.

 Have you tried the Shea Moisture Conditioners and the Clinique Colour Pop lippys? Lets me know what you thought of them in the comments below.

Lancome Haul

For Christmas I was given a £50 Debenhams gift voucher, the voucher came with a personal shopper, cup of tea or coffee with a tasty treat in their restaurant and you can also get your makeup done at one of the beauty counters of your choice. As you can guess by the name of this post I picked Lancome for my beauty makeover.

Teint Miracle - 005 Beige Ivoire (£30): I find it hard to fine a foundation that I really like, Im pale with dry eczema skin so normally foundation is to dark for me or its to drying or its makes my eczema bad. The lady at the Lancome counter asked me about my skin and I told her this so she used this foundation on me, it has a light coverage and felt like I had no foundation on. It felt really nice and did not look matte or feel drying so I had to get it. 

La Base Pro Hydra Glow (£28.50): This is the primer that the lady used which is an illuminating primer with 24 hour hydration, Im not planning on using this for 24 hours but its good to know its non-drying. A lot of primers are for making your skin matte and smooth but thats not what I look for in a primer. I really like the look when the lady used it on me at the counter so Im thinking Im really going to enjoy using this primer.

Thats everything that I bought but the lovely lady as the Lancome counter said because I am buying 2 products then I also get some free goodies and Im not going to say no to free goodies.

Energie De Vie Sleeping Mask: I have tried this sleeping mask before and I love it so Im so happy to get some more. It leaves your skin feeling so soft, plump and moisturised the next morning. Even though I have dry skin I feel like you dont need to use a lot of this to make your skin feel amazing the next day. 

Energie De Vie Smoothing & Glow-Boosting Liquid Care: This is a liquid moisturiser, I have tried this before to but it was only a wee sample I think I did like it but it will be good to try it again to see how much I did like it.

Bi-Facil: Lancome says this makeup remover is non oily and is suitable for sensitive eyes. It looks like a nice cleanser so Im looking forward to trying it. Im happy this is for sensitive eyes since a lot of cleanser hurt my eyes.

Le Crayon Khil - 01 Noir: Although I have not used this long lasting eye pencil yet I think it will have a nice colour pay off. Its always handy to have a good black eye pencil.

L'Absolu Rouge Cream: Im not sure the colour of this lipstick but I had a look on the internet and I think its 368 Rose, its a bright pink. Not sure if Im going to wear this lipstick because its not a colour I would normally go for but Im going to play about with it and hopefully I will find a way to wear it that looks good on me.

Hypnose Mascara - Black: Love the brush for this mascara, I think the mascara is going to be amazing and I cant wait to try it,the only reason I have not tried it yet is because I was wanting to write this post first.

Advanced Genifique Serum: This is a youth activating concentrate serum. I have never found a serum thats made me go wow I need to get this again, I have found ones that I like but none I have fell in love with. It will be nice to try this one to see if I will love it.

Thats everything that I got for Lancome and Im looking forward to trying all my nice new goodies.

Have you tried any of these products yet? Let me know in the comments below.

Glossybox UK January 2017

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a really good Christmas and New Year. Everything is back to normal now and the shops have got the Easter eggs in already. Im not joking if you have not seen them yet the shops near where I stay have Easter eggs in and I cant be the only person thinking its a bit early, can I? 

Anyway lets get on with why we are really here to see this months Glossybox. In this months box there is 4 full size products and 1 sample size product and the idea with this box is that the products are meant to be good enough to eat. So the real question is would I really ever want to eat makeup or skincare? 

Nip + Fab - Kale Fix Moisturiser (£19.95): This is the product that came in the sample size and I think its a good size for being a sample, I should get a few uses out of this so I will be able to tell if I like it or not. This moisturiser smells amazing, not sure if I would eat it but it does smell really good.

The Balm - Meet Matt(e) Trimony Single Eyeshadow (£34 for the Palette): The colour I was sent in my Glossybox from this eyeshadow palette is called Matt Kumar and its a really nice colour, its blown with berry/red tones. Im looking forward to trying this shadow out.

Unani - Illuminate Milk Cleanser (£14): I like to use a cleanser that is non-foaming this is because I have dry skin and foaming cleansers can dry out the skin so Im looking forward to trying this cleansing milk. Its got a light sweet scent so I think this cleanser will be good for dry skin. 

Vitamasques - Manuka Honey Face Mask (£3.99): A hydrating and moisturising Korean face mask which is made with extracts of Manuka Honey. I think the packaging for this face mask is really nice and modern. Im really looking forward to using this since I love a good face mask.

Hairon - Zero Crease Hair Tie (£3.99): I was sent this in my Glossybox for May 2016 too and I dont really like using the first pack Glossybox sent me and I still have all 3 left so I not to happy about getting this. And no Glossybox plastic hairbands are not good enough to eat.

I do really like this months box, I got a few lovely new things to try but I will probably be give the hairbands to someone. I also dont think I will being eating any of it even though the Nip + Fab Kale Fix Moisturiser and the Unani Illuminate Milk Cleanser smell really good.

Birchbox UK January 2017

So its 2017 at last and lets hope its better than 2016 but with a new month there is a new Birchbox and this month Birchbox has gone back to the drawer idea they have done a few time last year and like I have said before I do really like this idea. 

In this months box I was sent 5 products, 3 of the products are sample size and 2 of them are full size and I also received a Birchbox Exclusive item.

Lord & Berry - Conceal It Crayon in Beige (£12): This is the Birchbox Exclusive item that I received and its also one of the full size items I was sent. Its not the perfect colour match for my skin but it seems nice and creamy and I think it will be easy to blend so Im going to play around with it to see what its like. Birchbox says it can also be used as a highlighter.

Nuxe - Huile Prodigieuse (From £17): Even though I have dry skin I have never been I big fan of using oils on my face, I dont like the way they feel and I would rather just have a really good moisturising cream so at first when I saw I received an oil I was not feeling all to excited about trying it. However this is not just a normal oil you use on your face because Birchbox says this is a multi-purpose oil that you can use on your skin, body and hair and since I have dry curly hair I will be looking forward to trying this. 

Merci Handy - Hand Cream in Cherie Cherry (£4.90): Im sure this will be a really nice hand cream and I will give it a try but if your like myself and have sensitive skin then I dont think this will be the hand cream we will be using everyday because it has a very strong perfume to it and I think this will not be good for sensitive skin. Also the perfume that is in it smells like something an old lady would wear which is fine if your an old lady. However a good point about this hand cream is that it has really nice packaging.

Monu Professional Skincare - Monu Spa Rosewood Reviving Mist (£19.95): This is a rejuvenating mist for the face, its meant to sooth the skin with rosewood, brighten the skin with lemon and nourish the skin with sandalwood. It says its suitable for all skin types but this is also highly perfumed so Im not sure if it would be ok for sensitive skin but Im looking forward to trying it.

Whish - Shave Crave Shaving Cream in Acai Grapefruit (£14.80): This is a non-foaming shaving cream so it should be good for the skin because a lot of products the foam can dry out the skin, this is because of the ingredients company's use to make products foam so if you have dry skin its normally better to pick non-foaming products. Since this is non-foaming it is meant to help you get a close shave without stripping your skin of moisture so this should be nice to try.

Have you tried any of the products that I was sent in my Birchbox this month? If you have please comment below to let me know what you thought of the products that your have tried.

Also if you have any questions about this box then just leave it in the comment and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks for joining me today, hope you enjoyed it.

Birchbox UK December 2016

The theme for the December Birchbox is Merry & Bright but it does not feel very Christmassy however thats ok because its a nice looking box. With this box we are back to having a bag but the box is different again and I cant be sure but I think the box might have got small again. 

In my box I was sent 5 products with 4 being sample sizes and 1 being a full size.

When I first opened this box the first thing I noticed was the smell, it was so strong and not very nice but nothing was leaking. 

So even though the box is smaller again and smells really bad did I like what I get? Well keep  on reading cause Im about to tell you.

Ciate London - Fierce Flicks Eyeliner (£15): This is the product that I got that is full size and its a black felt tip eyeliner. Im really happy to have received this in my box this month and Im looking forward to trying it.

Bobbi Brown - Smokey Eye Mascara (£23): I dont think I have ever tried anything from Bobbi Brown before I have heard of Bobbi Brown just for some reason I have never tried it so Im looking forward to trying this mascara. It has a nice bristle brush and I think its going to be a really nice mascara.

Benefit - Porefessional (£24.50): Im not happy about getting this, Im sick of getting this from beauty boxing. We all know what porefessional is and what is does. I have dry skin Birchbox you know I have dry I said I have dry skin on my beauty profile you make us do when we sign up and yet I keep getting this which would be brill if I had oily skin and a problem with lager pores but I dont. I did not mind trying this when it first came out but can we just all move on now.

Percy & Reed - Perfectly Perfecting Wounder Balm (£18): This is moisturising balm for the hair thats meant to boost shine, smooths, softens and protects the hair. I have dry long curly hair so this will be really nice to try.

Anatomicals - Smoother Butts Love Coconuts Body Lotion (£3.99): The packaging for this is bright and fun and the name is just as fun. The scent is strong so might not be good for sensitive skin but I think I will still give this a go to see what its like. This body lotion also has vitamin e in it which is really good for the skin.

I think this is a good box this month from Birchbox and apart from getting the porefessional Im looking forward to trying everything that I received in this box.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Glossybox UK December 2016

So its December already and Christmas is almost here. I hope you all have a fab Christmas and brilliant New Year. 

This months Glossybox looks all festive with its white and gold design, I think this box looks really nice. It came with 5 products which are all full size. 

So lets jump right in and see what I got.

MDMFlow - Semi-matte Lipstick in Vamp (£18): Glossybox let us pick the colour of lipstick we wanted this month, we could pick from a nude or a berry colour and I picked the berry colour. I have never heard of this brand before but this lipstick is a very me colour and I also really like matte lipstick so Im really looking forward to trying this out.

Essence - Light up your face Luminizer Palette (£3): I really do like a good highlighter so this little palette will be nice to try. This palette has a matte highlight, a pink highlight with glitter and a gold highlight with very fine bits of glitter. 

Collection Cosmetics - Define & Perfect Eyebrow Powder (£4.19): I have tried this eyebrow powder before and I think its fab, its so easy to use and looks so natural. Glossybox sent me shade brunette 2 but I normally go for the lighter shade, its ok though Im going to try and make it work.

Lipcote (£3.99): I have also tried this before and Im not going to lie I hate it. It makes your lipstick feel horrible to ware and the smell is not good too. It was a couple of years since I tried it so I might give it another go, you never know I might end up loving it which is unlikely but I guess it should get a second chance.

Revlon - Nail Enamel in Valentine (£6.49):  The last product I was sent in this months Glossybox was this nail polish and I love the colour, I will definitely be using this.

Im not sure how I feel about this box over all, I like what I was sent in it but for some reason its not made me go wow. Maybe since I know Glossybox can do really good boxes I was expecting a bit more of a wow factor since this is the December box. I dont hate it I just think this box could have been better.

Did you get this months Glossybox or have you tried any of the products that I was sent? Let me know in the comment below.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄 🎉

Glossybox UK November 2016

This months Glossybox came in the normal pink box with lots of lovely things well 6 lovely things with 4 of them are full size and 2 of them are sample size. The idea behind this months Glossybox which is the same as this months Birchbox is the party season, I can see way they have both picked this as their box idea this month since its November and the fact they have both got the same idea this month is fine because they are both very different boxes.

Ruby Professional - Large Tapered Blending Brush: This brush retails for €8 and its really soft. Im really happy about getting this brush, I think I will get a lot of use out of it. The bristles are cruelty-free which is also an added plus.

111Skin - Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask: This is full size which is 1 face mask so thats 1 use and the price for this is £20. Im so happy to get this and I cant wait to try it, I would not pay £20 for just 1 face mask but if its good you never know I might change my mind. This mask has 3 key ingredients, Arbutin which is meant to brighten the skin then next is called Silk Amino Acids and this is meant to condition the skin and the last of the 3 key ingredients is called Centella Asiatica which is meant to stimulate collagen production. 

Wilkinson Sward - Quattro for Women Raspberry Rain Disposable Razors: This is a 3 pack of razors which costs £5.69, they have 4 blades and a raspberry scented handle, I have not opened them yet so I cant comment about what I think of the raspberry scented handle on a razor apart from who thought about making a raspberry scented handle for a razor I cant be the only one thinking thats an odd idea. Never the less putting the raspberry scented handle to the side I am happy to get this, it will be nice to try.

This Works - Deep Sleep Pillow Spray: I already use this pillow spray and have the full size which retails at £16 but I was sent a sample size in my Glossybox, I not disappointed by this because I can use it if I going away anywhere over night. This pillow spray is so good, anytime Im finding it hard to get to sleep I use this and it smells really nice too. You just spray some on to your pillow and then fall in to a relaxing deep sleep.

De Bruyere Beaute - Jumbo Eye Pencil in Bubble 07: The second last item I was sent this month from Glossybox was a full size jumbo eye pencil, this eye pencil costs €15 and is a khaki-gray colour with glitter in it. The pencil has a really nice sweet scent to it and I think it will look really nice on.

Raffaello: The last item I received was a yummy little treat, this is suitable for vegetarians but it contains nuts and milk. I have never seen this before so I have no idea what its going to taste like but its a nice little extra.

I think this months Glossybox is fab and Im really happy with everything that I was sent and Im looking forward to trying everything.

What did you think of this months box? Love it or hate it? Let me know in the comments below.

Thanks for joining me for this review of the November Glossybox.

Birchbox UK November 2016

Birchbox has teamed up with Tatler magazine to bring you this months box which is all about the party season and Birchbox has stayed with the drawer idea which I really like and I hope they keep on doing this, the design on the box this month is a peacock print which I also really like. In this box I received 5 sample size products and no full size products, I also received the wee book that always comes with the box with all the product information and there was also a second book in this months box with information about what you can buy from Birchbox for Christmas.

When I first picked the box up when it was delivered I thought it felt very light like there was not much in it but I thought just cause its light dues not mean it will be bad there might be some really fab things in the box.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - Lip Tar Primer: This is a lipstick primer and the full size costs £15 its 100% vegan and cruelty free. This primer is meant to help your lipstick last longer and this has Vitamin E, hemp oil and peppermint oil in it. Although this is a small sample size since its for your lips I dont think its a bad size. I might use this now and then but I cant see myself using it everyday, it will be nice to give it a try but I dont think it would buy the full size.

Bbrowbar - Brow Pencil in Cinnamon Spice: The full size for this brow pencil is £13. It seems very dry like it will be hard to use but the colour is a really good match for me so I will definitely be giving it a try.

Nuxe - Creme Prodigieuse: This is an anti-fatigue moisturising cream which is meant to boost your skins antioxidant level and restore the skins hydration, the full size retails for £21 and Im really looking forward to trying this. It also smells so good.

Beauty Protector - Protect & Blonde Toning Shampoo: Beauty Protector is a Birchbox exclusive brand and this shampoo will cost £18 from the Birchbox shop. Beauty Protector products all have the same smell which is really lovely. Im happy I got sent this since its handy to have.

Marcelle - BB Cream Golden Glow Illuminator: I wont be using this and I dont like it. Im pale and this is to dark for me. It has glitter in it and I do think it will give you a nice glow, this is oil free, perfume free and hypoallergenic. If you did fancy buying this as a full size it will cost £25.50.

This months box was ok but it could have been better, Im really looking forward to trying the Nuxe face cream because I love a good face cream and Im happy Birchbox sent me the right colour of eye brow pencil for one since they like to send me ones that are to dark but Im not happy about being sent another BB cream.

Birchbox UK October 2016

Hey guys and thanks for joining me today for this months Birchbox. This month Birchbox has gone with the drawer idea again with there box which I really like. The theme this month is Whats your sign? and because Im an Aries I was sent the Fire box. In the info card you get in the box it says the stars on the box glow in the dark which I think is a really fun idea.

Now lets get in to what I got.

Lord &Berry - 20100 Maxi Matte Crayon Lipstick in Intimacy: This lipstick is full size and retails at £12. The colour is a really nice nude/red, Im so happy to get this colour because normal I get sent colours which just look so bad on me. This is a product that you will need to sharpen but I will be trying it out.

Oribe - Dry Texturizing Spray: This spray is a dry shampoo and texturizing spray. Its a sample size that I was sent in my box but the full size costs £19. I think for a sample size its a nice size and you can even pop it in you handbag if you wanted to.

Doux Me - Pure Spring Mist: Im happy to get this product because I was sent a face scrub by this brand in one of my other Birchboxs, its a Birchbox exclusive and the RRP is £16. The size I was sent is a sample size but I think its a really good size. This mist spray is meant to help you feel refreshed when your feeling frazzled.

NKD SKN - Daily Tan Moisturiser: I dont like this. Im just not one for using fake tan so I really cant see myself using this, Im sure its a really nice product but its just not for me. I was sent a sample size but if you wanted to buy the full size it would cost £10.

Number 4 - Fluoro5 Elixer Restore & Repair Oil: Really happy with this product I use hair oils all the time so I will looking forward to trying this one out. I did just get sent a sample size but you only need a wee bit when you use hair oils so I think I will get a few uses out of it. This also has a beautiful sweet smell and costs £18 for the full size.

Birchbox - Eyebrow Brush: The last thing I was sent this month from Birchbox was a eyebrow brush. Now this is full size but Im guessing you worked that out since Im not sure how you would make it a sample size. This brush is a Birchbox exclusive and costs £1.99. Im not wowed by it, its an eyebrow brush and I already have one.

This months box was ok with 4 hits and 2 misses. 

Did you get this months Birchbox? If so what did you think of it? please leave a comment to let me know.

Glossybox UK October 2016

Hey guys. So I know I normal try and do a video of what I got from Birchbox and Glossybox but I thought I would do a blog post about it instead. Im going to do one post for Glossybox and another one for Birchbox but if you would rather them both all in one post them just comment below to let me know.

Now lets get in to what I got from Glossybox this month. In this box I was sent there is 6 products with 4 of them being full size and a mystery shampoo.

New Beauty Shampoo: The size of this shampoo is a really nice size for trying it out but we have no idea what shampoo it is, there is going to be a brand reveal later this month so we can all found out was it is. Im a bit 50/50 about this because I really like the idea of keeping the brand a secret so we can judge if we like it or not but I also dont like it because I have dry curly hair and is this shampoo for dry or greasy hair? Fine or thick hair? I think I will wait for the reveal before I make my mind up about this.

Trifle Cosmetics - Lip Parfait - Buttery Lip Cream: First off the packaging for this lip stick of so cute, I really like the look of it. Its got different fruit on the packaging which is cardboard. This lip stick is one of the full size products that was in the box and the RRP is £12.95. It looks like it will be a really nice long wear lip stick but I hate the colour, Im not going to lie about it but if I used this colour I would ill or died which is a shame cause I really do like the look of this lip stick I just really dont like the colour.

The Body Shop - Drops of Youth Concentrate: Im really looking forward to trying this, its a small size sample but you only need a couple of drops so I think its a good size for a sample. I also really like the smell of the product which is organic and its meant to soften, smooth and brighten your skin. The full size price for this £25.

Universal Beauty Cosmetics - Secret Flush: This is a soothing cream blusher and lip stain duo. This is full size and retails for £15, I really like the packaging and the smell is so good like candy bracelets. The colour is not something I would normal go and buy but I really like it, its pinky/peachy and I feel like there is some glitter in it or shimmer.

Bee Good - Honey & Camelina Facial Exfoliator: Im so happy for getting this product because I got sent in my May Glossybox Bee Good Youth Enhancing Plump & Firm Moisturiser and I really enjoyed trying it. This is full size and costs £10.50 and if its as good as the moisturiser then its a good price. The packaging is cute and fun and the smell is beautiful. This is meant to exfoliate, hydrate and calm the skin and I cant wait to try it.

PS...PRO - Finishing Powder: This powder is by Primark and is full size and retails at £5. The packaging its really nice and the powder feels very soft. Its meant to be lightweight and I think it will be lightweight when I try it. Its also meant to be ultra-fine and I would agree with that.

So over all not a bad box just a shame about the lip stick colour and I think I will wait to try the shampoo till the brand is revealed.

Did you get this months Glossybox? Let me know what you think of it in the comments and let me know if you have tried any of the products that I got.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm

Hey guys hope your all doing well. Today I bring you a review of Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm by Clinique, this cleansing balm is a solid balm and its meant to melt in to a fluid when you apply it. 

The way I used this cleanser was taking a small amount out and letting it melt in my hands by rubbing them together, I found the balm would melt nicely in to an oil. Once the balm was fully melted which only takes a few seconds I would then start to massage it on to my face. 

This cleansing balm removed my make-up really easily and my normally hard to remove mascara was no match for this cleanser, the mascara was fully removed with not problems at all. 

Now a lot of cleansers can make my eyes hurt really badly but when this go in to my eyes there was no problems at all with it. Dont get me wrong it did feel a bit odd getting oil in to my eyes and my vision did go a bit funny cause I could not see through the oil but thats only for a few seconds but over all it did not hurt and for me thats a big plus.

Once you have applied this to your skin and removed all your make-up with it then all you have to do is wash it off with some warm water and then pat your skin dry. Patting your skin dry is really important especially if you have sensitive skin because if your rub your skin dry with a towel it can cause irritation and your skin can lose its elasticity after years of rubbing even if you dont have sensitive skin.

Once you have gently washed this cleanser off and patted your skin dry, your skin should feel so soft and hydrated but not oily and greasy. I did not feel like this cleansing balm striped my skin for any moisture like some cleansers do. 

Clinique says with is suitable for all skin types and I totally agree. 

Have you tried this cleansing balm from Clinique? What do you think of it? Or are you thinking about getting it? Please leave your thought in the comments below.

MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil

I dont know about you but it feels like every make-up company is bring out a new jumbo lip pencil, thats not a bad thing because some of them are really good and I use them all the time but we now have a newbie to the group of jumbo lip pencils, MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil. 

This jumbo lip pencil is a twist up like any other jumbo lip pencil. On MAC's website they say that you will get the colour and shine of a gloss and the precision of a lip pencil. I agree with them about the colour and shine of a gloss but Im not so sure about the precision of a lip pencil claim because the tip is rounded not pointed and thats fine for the light shades but if you have a darker shade it might be a bit harder to apply it to your lips and keeping it tidy.

This jumbo lip pencil is comfortable to wear, its thick but not sticky and its moisturising too. I really do feel like after wearing this my lips feel more hydrated. I have also not had any problems with this feathering and thats always good if you are wearing a darker colour.

The colour that I bought it coloured Kittenish, Im not a big fan of lighter lip colours or even nude lip colours I just dont think they look good on me but this colour is so nice. To me its an everyday colour and its so easy to wear, the colour is pink with just a wee hint of berry.

If your thinking about treating yourself to a new MAC lipstick then I think you should check these out first. They cost £17.50 so they do cost a wee bit more then the lipsticks but I think they are really worth checking out. 

Have you tried MAC Patentpolish Lip Pencil? What do you think of them? If not are you planning on buying one? Please comment below to let me know.

NYX Control Freak

I'm not one for painting on my eye brows, I have blonde hair well brown but I colour it blonde and I have fine very light eye brows and pale skin so whenever I have in the past painted my eye brows on it just looks wrong. However I do tint them and sometimes use coloured eye brow powder or something like that on them but only very lightly. I do also like to use a clear gel on them just to keep them in place and I do this every day.

If you live in the UK then you will know you cant get NYX here but Boots online now has it and I did order a few bits to see what NYX is like and I did a NYX Haul on my YouTube channel so please feel free to go and watch it to see everything that I got.

Well you have probably already worked it out but this is called Control Freak and its a clear eye brow gel. I first heard about this from Emilynoel83 AKA Beauty Broadcast and she seemed to really like it so I have been wanting to try it for sometime. 

This cost £5.50 from Boots which I did not think was to pricey and the brush looks like an old school mascara brush. The gel dues have smell to it but its on your eye brows so obviously you dont smell it once you have put it on. 

When you remove the brush from the tube to use it the brush has just the right amount of gel on it. Not to much so you dont feel like your brows are going to get to much gel on them and not to little where you feel like you have to work to get the gel on to your brows. The brush is easy to work with so if your just going to use this to shape your brows I dont think it will be a problem for you.

Once you have put this on and it has dried your brows dont feel crunchy, they feel soft but they should last the day. I have had no problems with them looking bad through out the day.

Have you tried NYX Control Freak? Do you love it or hate it? Let me know in the comments below.

Dont forget to check out my YouTube channel. Its still new but there is a few videos up so please check them out. 

Thanks for reading and hope your all well.

AllBeauty.com Haul

I am in a bit of a love/hate relationship with allbeauty.com. I love them because they almost always have a really good sale on and their prices are so good but I hate them because they almost always have a really good sale on and their prices are so good so I end up sending to much money but on the other hand I might be spending more money than I planned to I like to think that Im saving money in the long run since its prices are really good.

So I had just been paid from work and I was checking my E-mails and found an allbeauty.com E-mail telling me they had a sale on for skin care and I really do like my skin care so obviously I had to go and check it out. 

Yes I did end up buying make-up as well but I have been looking for these eyeshadow palettes for some time now. I have been hearing they are dupes for the Urban Decay Naked palettes and I admit I dont have the Urban Decay Naked palettes but the W7 palettes are really nice and cream and they have a really nice colour pay out so it makes my think why pay so much for an Urban Decay palette when the W7 palettes are so good.

                                                         

Im still not 100% sure how I feel about this, the cream is really nice and hydrating with out leaving the skin feeling greasy but if Im going to spend so much money on something I would like it to feel and look expensive but for me this just dues not. The cream itself like I said it nice but again I dont think its so nice where I believe its worth so much money.    

I have not tried this yet so I cant comment about how I feel about it but I have swatched it on my hand and it feels creamy and smooth, the colour I got was light and its pinky/peach so it should be really good at hiding under eye dark circles. On the back of the box it says there is oat extract in it and oats are really good for the skin. The packaging is plastic yet nice and simple and for the price of it Im happy with it. 

I have been wanting to try GlamGlow for sometime now but at £49.99 its a lot of money just for a face cream and then what if I did not like it so when I saw it on allbeauty.com for £33.95 I just thought why not Im probably not going to get it any cheaper. When I first saw it in its blue box I was surprised because I thought it was going to be smaller and yep it was small, its a lot of packaging for 50ml but it looks beautiful, worth ever penny and the cream is so good to. I would pay £33.95 again for it but £49.99 I dont know its alot of money but it is a fantastic cream.

                                                     

Finally I have got Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. It looks and feels expensive, the produced leaves your eyes looking brighter and more awake. I still have some testing to do with it but Im really like it right now.

If you have tried any of the products I got please leave a comment below, I would love to hear what you think.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed.
