tarte amazonian clay full coverage foundation

I am always trying new foundations . This was one that i wanted to try for a while. On a recent trip to imats i decided it was time to give it a go . I am in the shade ivory and it matches perfectly . Its an oil free foundation so it would be perfect to you that has an oilier complexion. My skin is combination since i get a little bit oily in my t zone throughout the day . Also i have some scarring and discolouration so i like a high coverage foundation from time to time to achieve a flawless finish.This defiantly  gives me the coverage that i need on those days.

The application is great as it blends with ease . I like to mix in some strobe cream to give it a more glow , this is just my personal preference . A little goes a long way so don't get carried away. Although it's full coverage i don't feel that it sits on top or sink in to any fine lines  and it looks very natural . This isn't a weightless foundation yet its  comfortable on the skin .  I would highly recommend this foundation and it can be bought from  qvc in a set with a foundation brush for £33.50 :- http://www.qvcuk.com/tarte-Amazonian-Clay-Full-Coverage-Foundation-with-Brush.product.205118.html 

the body shop vitamin e aqua boost sorbet

I by chance picked this because it sounded like it was going to be nice and I'm glad I did . This gel  texture moisturiser is instantly cooling and I feel like my skin feels amazing .it would be amazing for hot summer days . A little goes a long way and .I am not a big fan on  moisturisers because I feel like they make my skin feel tacky but this soaked right in and made my skin feel  a lot smother , All I can say it is amazing and you all  need to go out and try it !! I lost my first pot and had to repurchase another .


you can buy this at the body shop for £13

loccitane almond shower oil

I have always wanted to try some loccitane products as the shop in liverpool one always seems to look amazing . On a recent trip i did finally  buy my first loccitane product which was the shower oil . And although at first  i wasn't sure about  if i liked it  but i did endure and two months down the line im in love with it . At first i thought that i would have to use so much of  the product to have a lather . But to my surprise i was so wrong . I put a little bit of the oil on the palm  and i rub it together . This forms a very luxurious thick oil and it lathers up lovley . The scent is suttle but it last on the skin for hours after you come out of the shower. This retails for £18 for 250ml and i think that its worth every penny !

urban decay primer potion

Since  trying the shadow insurance and loving it I was exited to try other brands of eye shadow primers . One of these was  the primer potion . I had heard so much good things about it that it was the top of the list when going out to buy some more . It didn't disappoint ! I apply such a small amount yet it makes my shadows last so much longer without any creasing at all . When applying the shadow I feel like the shadow sticks and looks amazing .  The original formula has no colour at all but there is a sin version that I'm yet to try .Would defiantly recommend you using this if you  want  your shadow to last as long as you do this festive season

REN - Glycolactic radiance renewal mask

Recently I have been enjoining using masks . Most of our masks are clarifying but this is different . It gives my skin a new lease of life and my complexion is much brighter .  Its a honey like texture  and its  easy to massage into the skin . It recommends that you leave it on for 10 minutes but the mask lasted at least 20 minute for me  . I removed the mask using the muslin cloth that provided and instantly I could notice a difference . My skin was radiant and glowing and I felt like it was so soft . I haven't tried a mask of this sort before so I cant compere but  I am exited to try a similar one soon

MAC blot powder

 I have tried many drugstore pressed powders and I always search for that matte finish. I have struggled to find the perfect powder and have always made do with what I've got .Some powders didn't control any oils , match colours while others made my base look cakey and that wasn't what I wanted in a powder and I don't think most of you want these type ether .

 On a whim in the mac counter a bought this thinking it will do the job and wasn't expecting much of it . But boy was I wrong this is the best powder ever the colour light matches my complexion perfectly . The powder kept me matte all day and I didn't feel cakey . This is truly amazing and I would defiantly recommend everyone to try one for their self  its fantastic .

Origins drink up intensve overnight mask

Recently I feel that my skin is dehydrated and I want to add some moisture back into my skin . I am loving face masks and when I was passing an origins counter and saw this I had to have it ! I  have tried it for  two weeks now and I feel the difference .  The consistency  of this mask is like a thick moisturiser  and  I was worried  it would be too much but I felt it soaked into the skin quickly  and just left some tackiness but it was bearable to sleep with .  In the morning my skin felt great . It was soft and  it felt moisturized . Although it recommends you using this twice a week I only use it once and I feel it does the trick .

Benefit they're real push - up liner + a drugstore dupe

I have been looking forward for the benefit release  for a while . Mainly because I am hopeless when it comes to eyeliner application . This claims to be a lash hugging liner and I do feel that it comes up to its expectations . The application is close to the lashes and its easy  to apply .I think that this is because of the nip .This nip also makes making winged liner so easy . I have been struggling with winged liner  forever every time I cant go out of the house because it looks dodgy but with this I am able to have a perfect wing that I'm happy with .  Its the blackest black and it's last a very long time .The RRP of this liner is £18.50

There is also a dupe for this liner by Maybelline . The liner is the lasting drama one and I comes in black  the application of this eyeliner is near enough identical to the benefit one . I would say that this  one is slightly thinner line . The biggest difference between both liners is that the Maybelline one doesn't have the same staying power . The price of this one is £8.99 but on a moment it on offer in Superdrug for £6.99 .

Glamglow Youthmud

I have been  loving face masks recently .I have heard so much about Glamglow . I was in London recently and I decided to splurge out and finally buy it . I bought the 15ml jar which is tiny and costs  £25 but I have used it twice and there is half of it left . There is also a 50ml jar and that retails at £50

When you first apply you will notice leafs in the mask that is the green  tea leaf and it realising its goodness into the mask  . It has a very fresh scent  and its pleasant .  The tingling sensation it gives in the first 5 minute or so isn't  too much but you do notice it . I kept  it on for 15 minutes and by this time the mask had dried completely .

 I used warm water and a muslin cloth to remove the mask in circular motions and I felt this very exfoliating.  The first thing I notice after removal was how soft my skin felt . My skin was glowing and soft and  my large pores around my nose was notable smaller . This was truly a miracle mask . I am so pleased with it that I am  going to buy the full size now before this one runs out . Truly  worth the price tag .

Schwarzkopf - got2b

This schwarzkof got2b range has been out some time by now  . They have added some new products to their line and I have rediscovered the items of their range I had all ready in my stash of products .
The first product that I am going to mention is the  got2b guardian angel heat protection . This is a heat protection especially designed for blow drying and straitening your hair . I feel that many heat protection that  I have tried in the past comes out of the spray in one squirt as with this it a light mist . It smells amazing too .

The second product  from the got2b range is beach matt texturizing salt spray . This also smells diving and have the same light mist spray as the guardian angel .It is amazing product if like me you have curly hair that needs some definition and less frizz . This spray does the job perfectly my curls are defined and it is also good for your hair that you aren't using heat to create this look.

The got2b oil-licious is an amazing product as well . It has argan oil in it and it makes my hair have a natural shine to it . I like to use this product when my hair is slightly damp . You can use this for daily use if you feel like you need it as it is such a light formula .

Thee last product from this range that I own is  beach matt matt paste . This is a product I don't use as much of . I use it when I need a sleek look . This makes sure that all the small flyways stays in place. Its also a product that smells amazing .All of theses products are available at Superdrug for £3.00 but its currently on offer for £1.98 :D

Estee Lauder- Double Wear Foundation

I have been hearing lot and lot about this foundation over the years that I have been watching YouTube videos so when I had some vouchers Christmas I knew what I wanted. In march of this year I bought it and I got the colour ivory nude that is a very close match to my skin but in my opinion a little bit too yellow. This isn't  noticeable with my powder on top .

To this exception this foundation is one of the best I have tried as yet . My skin type is normal combination . This is a medium to full coverage as it can be built up to the coverage you want . It is very long lasting even on my t zone where I tend to go a little oily from time to time  . So this is an ideal choice if I am about to have a long day at work .

I  use this with either my  fingers for a slightly lighter coverage or a real techniques expert face brush if I feel that I need that extra coverage . Both application is good and it doesn't cling to any patches that I might have .

It is one of the most expensive foundations that I have purchased so far and I would say that it is also the best and would recommend it to anyone . One thing that could be improved is that the bottle would have a pump as I put to much on sometimes .

£28.50 - 100ml available at Debenhams

clean and clear dual action moisturiser

I am fed up of  having to deal with spots breakouts . I have tried many products in the  past  to help get rid and prevent spots   but none of which I felt work as good as I wanted .   I was looking for a face moisturiser because I felt that I had some dry patches that my foundation clung to . When I was browsing the selection at my local super market the clean and clear moisturiser  took my fancy . Not only this would combat my dry skin  with out adding oils as it a oil free formula   I hoped that it would clear my skin .

I use this every  night and I feel that in the morning my skin is soft and free of any dry patches . If I have a problem area I would concentrate on having the cream on that spot . It helps reduce spots and it is a great  spot treatment .

At £3.49 you cant miss this beauty essential is widely available both in Superdrug and boots .

Heel Genius - Soap & Glory

It now coming to that time of the year again when you start wearing sandals and flip-flops and after the winter your feet  is not in the best condition. If this is the case for you this will be your life saver. It amazing.  I will put a thin layer all over and then put more on the dry cracked places like the heel and my big toe and put socks on and ill do this as i go to my bed. ill do this for about a week or two until my feet are nice and soft. Then i will do it once  a week then just to keep on top of things.



In my opinion it a bargain for £5.50  as it does a fantastic job.  You can buy this from boots and also from there online site.http://www.soapandglory.com/b

Yankee Candle Dupe

I love Yankee candle but because I live a long way from any Yankee shops I don’t really get much opportunities to buy them. One of my favourite is the vanilla cupcake.  It is very sweet smelling but I don’t like to burn it because I know it will be another month before I go to a town with a Yankee store.  But fear not I have found a good mach to the smell of the Yankee one. It from a brand star lytes and it called vanilla crème. I found this in the original factory shop for amazing value £5 for 18oz where the Yankee is 16.99 for a 14.5oz and 19.99 for a 22oz. as you can tell there is a huge gap in price. One down fall for the star lytes is that it dose burn twice as fast but  it still a steel for £5. I have not try any other fragrance from this brand  and this because in my local shop there is only a small selection and this is one of the down side that will effect me.
