So since things have quietened down abit, thought that i would carry on with my blogging! So first things first!  Today in my blog i want to give you some reviews of a new product that i have been trying out for a few weeks now. Im not sure if many people have been aware of it, but its a product called Dermacol that i have discovered on Instagram.

Hi everyone how are you all?? Hope you are well. Havnt blogged for a while, life has kept me busy aswell as illness. Hope to catch up with you all now. Today's blog will be about a eyeshadow palette that i purchased a few days ago. Oh my goodness i must say i am very impressed! This baked eyeshadow palette is very good stuff! Its a palette consisting of 6 chunky baked eyeshadows in various shade palettes. Firstly it is well pigmented, and very smooth almost silky like powder texture. Minimal fallout and has good staying power. This palette has 6 gorgeous shades that compliment each other so you can create looks that take you from daytime to night time. I have done a swatch so you can see the intensity & pigmentation of the shades. This palette cost me £2.99 from bodycare. The price & quality of this product is very good. I really like this palette, its my favourite especially all the colors. At first i thought that Technic brand would be so so, & wouldn't be anythi...

Garnier face care range

Image
Hello my lovies, how are you all? Good i hope. What is your favourite skin care brand? To be honest there are soo many to choose from, its very hard to say only one. I like many people like to try different brands to see what my skin likes, and at the moment, Garnier is on my favourite skin care list. Because Garnier make skin care products for normal & sensitive skin, its easy to choose products that are compatible with my skin type. Whilst out shopping, i popped into Boots and came across any 3 for £5 from a selected Garnier range. There was products like facial wipes, facial washes, scrubs & also make up removers. So i picked up 3 products;  Garnier fresh radiance face scrub, simply essentials 2 in 1 make up remover & start afresh face wipes. These 3 products compliment my skin wonderfully, & are also a complete step to removing make up to freshening my skin. A brightening scrub that helps to polish my face & boost its radiancy. A 2 in 1 make up remover ...

Glitter Eyeliner

Image
Hi friends how are you all? Hope you are well. Oh my goodness, its become really chilly here in the UK lately. We even had a little flurry of rain snow! Anyways, despite the chilly weather, my post will brighten things up!  :) In make up trends, there seems to be a lot of posts regarding glittery eye shadows & liners. When you see the pictures that people post up on the internet & social media, it looks so pretty. But the actual product itself costs quite a bit of money. Some companies are selling their eyeshadows starting from £9.99 to £13.99  just for a single shade with the glitter & gel glue. But i have a tip for you that will save you money & also give you many shades :) Glitter eyeshadows & liners have been in and out of fashion in the past aswell but they seem to be making a comeback. I got these glitter eyeliners from my local Boots stores. They are from Collection 2000 range. These eyeliners are ready mixed so you dont have to apply t...

Pro Formula radiance gel cleanser

Image
Hello everybody. How are you all? Hope you are well  :)  Just want to give you guys a quick review on something i bought. I got a gel cleanser from my local tesco. Its called Pro formula Radiance Gel cleanser. This was £5.00 & it looked appealing to me as i hav'nt seen this in the pro formula skin care range before. It is a new product & Pro formula is a independant range made by Tesco. The packaging isn't anything fancy & i was only curious to find out how different this could be to other facial cleansers. The instructions are pretty much simple, you just rub this onto your dry skin before you wash it. Its a clear, fragrance free gel formula that you rub onto your face and wash off after removing your make up. As i did so, a short while after using it, my face felt hot & red. My cheeks were burning & my face felt as if it was irritated. I needed to cool my face so i washed my face again this time with a gentle cleanser ( nivea's foaming facial wash mo...

Nivea Lip Butters

Image
Hi friends, hope you are well. Today my blogpost is about Nivea Lip Butters. How do you care for your lips? You may see many models with perfect lips, so soft & moisturised. But this does'nt just happen overnight. There must be a special kind of lip care. But there really isn't anything much to it. Just occasionally scrubbing your lips with a soft toothbrush or with a lip scrub can help to buff your lips & remove dead skin & whilst keeping them kissably soft. You can even make your own lip scrub. In a small container add some sugar, a little baby oil & some honey. Mix together & you have a home made lip scrub. Use 1-2 times a week for good looking lips. But scrubbing your lips is only half of it. Moisturising is just as important. There are many kinds of moisturisers available in the market, of various kinds. Plumping, medicated, flavoured, tinted, etc in tins, tubes, tubs & pots. I have come accross these gorgeous lip butters from the brand Nivea. The...

I am talking about L'Oreals White Perfect milky foam facial wash. I bought this 2 days ago from TK Maxx & am so in love with it! This is a product that i have never seen before & is very rare.  This is a whitening facial wash  especially developed for asian skin. Made from Tourmaline Gemstones, this face wash is different from the usual face washes & scrubs. Its instant whitening effect is visible from the very first use. Its a creamy milky formula that gently foams and rinses easily, conditioning the skin & does not feel dry. You can see the difference straight away & will be impressed with what you see. At first when i saw it in the shop, i was reluctant to buy it, thinking that it wont work & will be a waste of money. But i was soo wrong! I thought at £2.99 i'l give it a try. I d...

Skincare routine

Image
Hello friends how are you all? Hope you are well. Today im going to talk about skin care. What is skincare and why is it important? Skincare is a regiment that we follow to lookafter our skin. Around 60% of the worlds population, have sensitive skin. These people are prone to most or specific ingredients of health & beauty products. Which means they have to be really careful when choosing products to apply to their skin. Health professionals make such products that are especially suited for mild to moderate sensitivity. But with beauty & fashion trends, people tend to try products that maybe harmful for their skin, thus creating further problems for themselves. Because nowadays some people blog about products they've tested, they leave negative & positive reviews for the general public to take into consideration when buying products. Some people follow a simple skincare regime whilst others have a thorough regiment, using skin compatible products from toning, cleansin...

Cien Make Up

Image
Hey everyone hope you are well. Im back with a review on Lidl's own brand make up called ' Cien '. Lidl has been around in the UK for quite some time now, with more and more branches opening across the country. Apart from selling low-cost food & drink i was suprised to see a small section of their own brand make up. Their selection consisted of foundations, mascaras, lip sticks, lip glosses, mono eyeshadows, jumbo eye pencils, nail polishes and jumbo lip crayons. Their make up is of decent  quality with many shades to choose from. Its not tested on animals and is suitable for all skin types. The best thing is they are cheap and affordable for everyone and will make a great start up kit for beginners. The make up is priced at £1.99 each and sometimes Lidl have an offer going on where you can buy any 2 items for £3.00 making it a bargain! Do check out Lidl's make up. You wont be disappointed. Have you ever bought Cien make up? What did you think of it? Let me know y...

Clinique 2in1 Beyond Perfecting Foundation

Image
Hey everybody hope you are well. Today i want to give you my reviews on a foundation that i bought. It is Clinique's 2 in 1 beyond perfecting foundation. It's a foundation & concealer in 1 product. This foundation has got to be a godsend. Its amazing! A concealer & foundation in 1 product that is so easy to use if only it came out all these days ago! Its a creamy formula that finishes matte on the skin. Its so easily blendable with maximum results, that covers & conceals with minimum effort in 1 easy step. Its breathable formula looks undectable & gives flawless looking skin instantly. It comes in a range of shades to suit every color. The shade that i bought is vanilla which i got from TK Maxx at £16.99 which i thought was a bargain. It is priced at £25.00 plus variable in different stores.  This foundation is worth the money, not because of branding, but its formulation. Although ideally it should start at £20.00 which would make it more affordable for peopl...

Mua Luxe Metallic Lipgloss

Image
Hello hello hello! Omg i know its been a long time since my last blog! I'd like to appologise, but since then a lot has happened. Was ill for a few weeks, feeling poorly. Then i became an aunty! My sister in law had a beautiful girl then things happened, making life busy & hectic. Well im back with a exciting post and cant wait to tell you about it!  :) I have purchased 2 beautiful metallic lipglosses that look gorgeous! Its Superdrug's Mua Luxe brand. They recently launched a range of metallic lipglosses in 7 beautiful shades. From light to dark shades, each suiting every skin tone. The 2 colors that caught my eye are Blaze & Glint. Blaze is my 1st favourite shade. Its a beautiful maroon/burgundy shade. The formula is smooth & creamy. Glides on easily and its true color formula makes lips look irresistable. The 2nd favourite color is called glint. Its a brownish/mauve color that look galactic. The metallic look is more emphasised in this shade. Both shades look fa...

Favourite False Eyelashes

Image
Hello everyone. Want to talk to you all about false lashes. When it comes to false lashes, do you wear them or not? Are they comfortable? Do they give the desired look without peeling off halfway? Well i guess it all depends on the type of lashes you buy and the kind of glue you use. I myself have been playing around with many lash brands & glues just to see which is worth it in terms of value & durability. The cheap ones suprisingly do a good job, well some of them. But then for the cheap ones you need to have a good glue to make a good job of it. Sometimes its the other way round. But most importantly it also helps to know how to apply lashes correctly in the first place. Well down to the point, my first favourite pair of false lashes has most definately got to be Revlon's beyond Natural. These lashes are super comfortable and last all day long until you want to take them off. They look natural and give a beautiful look to your eyes without peeling off or weighing your ...

Primers

Image
Hey guys! Today im writing a review on Primers. What are primers and are they worth it? Let me tell you. Primers are a base product that you use before applying your make up. The whole idea is to prep & prime your skin so that you can apply your make up easily & will help to make your foundation last longer. Some people agree with this and some disagree. But it is all down to the actual product itself. There are many forms and brands of primers, some are like fluid, some are creamy & some are like a soft mousse. They come in jars, containers, tubes & vials. With so many brands in the market to choose from, people tend to experiment to find which is best suited for their skin type. Here i have tested two different brands and will give you my opinion. The 1st primer i got is L'Oreal studio secrets primer priced at £12.99 And the 2nd is Barbra Daly Primer by Tesco priced at £10. Both of them are of equal quantities at 15ml each. The L'Oreal primer is pinkish in ...

Hello everybody. Hope you are all well. Today i will give u a review of some liquid lipsticks. This is a drugstore  brand and is just as good as its competitor. Yes, i am talking about MUA's version of liquid lipstick. This liquid lipstick is inspired by Anastasia Beverly Hills. Although there are not many shades like Anastasia, MUA has managed to do 6 shades in the range, with 3 being my favourite shades from the collection. The thing i like about it is the price. For £3 you cant go wrong. Its almost as good as Anastasias, and the pigmentation is really good. Staying power is above average so that gives a good impression. The durability of this product is good and color shades are a nice selection. Its matte texture glides on easily and usually goes on in 1 sweep. My favourite colors are: 1) Dare 2) Kooky 3) Reckless Dare is a beautiful fuscia pink with tints of red. Kooky is a gorgeous purple lilac hints of color. Reckless is ruby red color. All 3 of those are my favourite ...
