my year of beauty

This year was the year when I went from enjoying  makeup to have a passion.  At the beginning of the year I did enjoy applying makeup but didn't  apply  it every day. Now I do it every day loving every moment.  This year was the year where my and my sister one drawer collection grow to over 3 drawer  and had to by  few storage boxes . I have discovered brand that I haven’t try before e.c.t Mac and topshop. Because I live in a small village and the my town only have a small Superdrug I can’t get lot of the things I like from my local stores but I love going to Chester (that is about 2 hours away from where I live) to get some new stuff.  I hope that 2012 got some more makeup that will enjoy.

 Hope you have a good year

Love from Sian (twinalou)

Bourjois Paris – volume fast & perfect Mascara Review

Bourjois Paris – volume fast & perfect  Mascara Review  (51 starting black ) - £11.49 Superdrug

          I went on a shopping trip to Chester last week  and  I went a little bit overboard at  Superdrug L  .  When I saw this mascara I was amazed . I have seen mascara’s that vibrates before hand but one that rotate  was  a new thing for me to see , or maybe i have been going round the drugstores with my eyes shut .

          This mascara has a  switch that  gives you the choice which way you would like it to rotate  . I think this is a brilliant idea because you can have lots of volume in your lashes by just one stroke of the brush . I  hate that some mascaras that you have to go over your lashes several time to get the volume you want .

          The only negative thing i can say about this Mascara is that it takes some getting used to . The first time i used it  got stuck for a little while and this was a little painful . But after one use  I haven’t had any trouble .

Tweezers

This is not just any tweezers and this because there got a build up light on them.

This are also the best one I have got there can pluck hair so easy . the light also help to  see the hair.

There are slanted top and this is also help to pluck hair. There also very sturdy and you can get grip .

I had my one from home bargains for about 99p but you can also order one from

http://tweezlight.com/tweezlight_product_line/

this is a US brand and i think you can not order one if you live out side of US. But you can keep your eyes open in discount stores such as home bargains.

These is the best tweezers you can ever get I love them .

Review – Elegant - touch Rapid dry

    I bought this   product a few months back because I hate having to wait a long time to make sure that my nails stay mark free. At first I wasn’t to please because it left me with very oily looking nails, it was oily for about a   minute before I was able to get rid of the oils with a cotton bud. But I didn’t find this a big problem. The product comes in an aerosol can which is easy to spray on to the nails fuss free. You must keep the spray at least 10cm away from your nails to get the best result. The Nail varnish will be dry in a matter of seconds and then you can carry on with your day. This spray can be  used on all types of nail varnish .

This product is available at Superdrug RRP - £2.95
