Tropical Peel Off Montagne Jeunesse Mask

Hello everyone!

I absolutely LOVE face masks, but my favorite ones are peel off masks as I sometimes feel quite uncomfortable with a mud mask or one that dries hard. 

I just wanted to tell everyone reading this blog how great this face mask is and how good a value it is for your money! You can use it so many times and it doesn't run out very fast (I've already used it about 6 times and have loads left) and unlike individual masks you can use as little or as much as you would like (I always find that I have LOADS left over from an individual mask) I got mine from Boots I believe and it cost me £5.

Mac Pink Plaid Lipstick

Hello everyone!

A short while ago I did a blog post on another Mac Lipstick in the colour Syrup (you can view it here). I never really get the chance to go into any Mac stores or see any counters because there are none where I live, so whenever I go shopping in any other town I spend ages looking at there products seeing if there is anything I would like to purchase (basically everything) 

The packaging is exactly the same as my Syrup Lipstick in the usual bullet shape. I do find that it makes it a lot easier to use and to locate when its in my handbag which is always handy. 

I got the colour Pink Plaid and it is a matte lipstick so it is a different finish to the Syrup Lipstick. I do find that I don't get on as well with matte products as others as sometimes I feel that my lips feel dry and I really don't like that, however I will buy matte products (I have quite a few now) if I think that they look nice and are a nice colour. 

I have used this a few times already so this isn't exactly how it comes as it probably has less product. It is £14 like most other of the Lipsticks and has the usual 3g. I have found that these Lipsticks last such a long while and are very pigmented, HOWEVER, I do find that they don't last as long as I would like and they come off so easily, so I am thinking of buying a lip primer to keep it on longer. I liked this colour as it is a deep but light pink and has a lovely colour to it and adds such a nice colour to the lips. It dries matte quite quickly so you can really see how it is going to look during the day.

Here is the colour in natural light. I find that it gives such a healthy look to the lips and I really enjoy wearing it - although I tend to go for deeper colours like Syrup but I am starting to change that.

Dior Addict Lip Glow

Hello everybody!

A few weeks ago I was browsing the Dior counter in Boots when the lady started talking to me about all kinds of products that they sell. She briefly went over the 'Dior Addict Lip Glow' which didn't grab my attention until she tried it out and put it on me (I then loved how it looked)

The Lip Glow is £22.50 which is quite pricey as it is basically a lip balm but I do find that it really works and makes my lips look so much better when they look dull. If you aren't sure on the product then you can always go to a Dior counter and ask for it to be tried out on you.

The colour that the product shows off is basically an enhanced colour of your own lips so it may look slightly different on others (probably not a lot in it though). For me, it gives my lips a healthier look to them and they look more plump and shiny which I like. It does give a tiny bit of colour but not too much, I would say it is just a light pink. I also love this product because it doesn't make my lips look of feel dry and is very moisturising without feeling oily. 

Overall, I do like this product and I am glad that I bought it as it is great for on the go use when you feel that your lips look lifeless and colourless. However, I am sure that there are other products much like this one but cheaper.

Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in Espiegle

Hello everyone!

Around Febuary I bought myself a Chanel Blush from one of the Debenhams stores as I thought it was so beautiful!

The actual packaging that the product comes in is very sturdy and doesn't break if dropped (which is good as it is so expensive) it is also very plain but looks very elegant and I love the design of it! 

I got the colour in Espiegle because it looked like such a gorgeous peachy pink. It cost £31 and you get 4g of the product. I am not sure as to weather they still sell this certain colour as it is no longer listed on the actual website - but they do have some other gorgeous colours. I have had this for about 4 months and it still looks pretty new, the reason behind this is because I hardly ever wear it as it is not pigmented at all! I am disappointed at this factor as it looked so lovely in the shop, but it takes me so many attempts to actually finally get the colour of the blush to come out on my cheek and I was disappointed because of the price of it. I do still try to wear it occasionally but it just takes a lot longer to apply than any of my other blushes.

The colour is so gorgeous as you can see and has a lovely glow to it, but as I said - It is not pigmented at all and it took me about 6 finger swirls to get this much colour onto my hand. It could just be this certain colour that isn't pigmented and I would like to hope so as some of the other colours are so gorgeous and I would love to try them, but if they are like this one, then I doubt I will.

Nip + Fab Shine Fix

Hello everyone!

I was browsing the Debenhams store when I noticed a stand which had quite a few Nip + Fab products. The product that caught my eye was the Shine Fix as I do have quite oily skin and I am always looking for something to help it and mattify it.

I got the product for £9.95 and was super excited to try it out. You get 15ml and it does spread quite a lot way so you don't need to put too much on. I usually put it on my T-Zone because that is where I get oily the most.

The colour of the gel is a cream colour and I love the smell of it as it is quite leafy! I am not completely happy with this product because the day after I first used it, I had a breakout of spots, however, I have used it a few other times and haven't noticed as much of a breakout so I am not sure weather that is because of the product, so beware! I have found when using it that my skin does look less oily during the day so it does help, however it doesn't help as much as I would like as I still do get oily. 

Has anybody else tried this?

17 Photo Flawless Primer

Hello everyone!

I have been using the 17 Photo Flawless Primer for quite a while now and thought I would share my thoughts about it with you.

I got it around Christmas time when I was spending the last of my money and I was in a rush (I totally forgot I picked it up until I got home - glad I did though) It cost me £4.99 and you get 15ml. It does last such a long while though as you don't need very much of it as it spreads a long way - it is also very smooth and silky like the Benefit Porefessional. 

It has a very strange gel like consistency and is a creamy sort of colour - but don't worry, it doesn't change the colour of the skin. It is so easy to apply and keeps my foundation on for a much longer period of time. It also minimises my pores to some extent which I like as well.

Benefit Rocket Pop Silky-Finish Lipstick

Hello everyone!

So a couple of weeks ago I was browsing the Benefit counter with my sister and I didn't plan on buying anything but I did (oops) I have always wanted one of the Benefit Lipgloss's so I found it strange that I got something that I hadn't ever really taken an interest into before! 

I chose one of the Silky-Finish Lipsticks and I adore the packaging that they come in as it always looks so lovely no matter what the product is! I didn't even really know about these Lipsticks and have never taken an interest but I was standing next to the counter and there were some laid out to be tested - so I tested one and I guess I fell in love! 

There are quite a few different colours (I think its around 10) but I chose Rocket Pop because it is such a gorgeous pinky red and I have never really had a colour like this one before and want to start to branch out and try different things. All of these are £14 and you can get them directly from the Benefit website or Benefit counters. 

The actual tube (is it called a tube?) that the product comes in is metal which I really like as it doesn't get scratched easily and is very resistant to breaking! (although it is cold a lot of the time) It has a little pattern on the bottom but that it about it. I like how elegant the packaging is and also how easy it is to open and close. 

You get 3g of the product but you really don't need to apply a lot at one time as they are so pigmented! They are also silky smooth and keep the lips looking glossy which is one part that I love about them. They also stay on the lips for long periods of time and I don't find myself having to keep applying it throughout the day which is handy. 

The colour is so lovely and has a hint of red to it which I love. It glides on the lips so easily and smoothly. All together I really like this product and definitely want to try more colours in the range. Benefit have won me over again! (I will leave you with a lovely message that came on the card in this product)
