Lush....Honey I washed the kids soap

Hey! If there was a smell in the world that was uber delicious it would be the smell of honey I washed the kids soap by lush....honestly!! It smells sweet like honey and toffee and feels like cream on the skin. It says on the label that it is a hand & body soap, I have used it as a hand soap and in my shower. I had to cut mine into chunks to save wasting product, I loved it that much. I tried this soap a while back but never got round to reviewing it, then repurchased and so here the review is girlys!! I usually buy 100g of this soap but this time they gave me some extra and it cost me £3.66. Normally I think its £2 something. I have noticed the skin on my arms to be noticably softer, I tried this soap after I had gone for a waxing session and it calmed my skin down greatly! You all probably know how much of an ouch waxing is! It is a light brownish colour and has a honey comb like layer on top....so cute! I would show you a picture of mine open but its kinda weird looking as it has been in my shower for some time haha. For more information on ingredients and pictures go to the LUSH website. xxx

Scarlet and Crimson covered & concealed brush set

I bought these brushes a while back from superdrug and have never looked back since! These are fabulous for their price of £5 or £6! Size of the brushes is perfect for travel and home use and handles are very sturdy. I have to mention that these brushes have cute intricate details that caught my attention in the first place. Each brush has its name written on it too so life is easy haha! The brushes are synthetic and soft but with a bit of resiliance.....a bit of bounce I guess lol This is unique and great for application of things like moisturiser and foundations/concealers. In this kit you get 3 brushes: foundation brush, concealer brush and precision concealer brush which is the smallest one. I found the foundation brush works best for me for applying moisturisers and tinted moisturisers. I have tried applying MAC studio tech foundation with it...its not too great with that but this is still one of my essential everyday make up brushes. The concealer brushes for me have been far too small.....when I think of concealer brushes I think much denser and fluffier so it looks airbrushed and not streaky. I found that these two brushes from the kit are awesome as lip brushes instead! Because they give a defined look to lip sticks etc. Since they are synthetic they form a nice sharp shape too when loaded with lip products. Overall a 9/10 for this cute and affordable brush set!

My new skincare products :)

So yeah I finally went out and bought the neutrogena 2 in 1 wash and mask....I just had to give into the hype lol I have been using it for a few days so still not ready to review it yet but I can say so far its nice! It smells good and is really smooth. My skin feels clean and tingly after use, especially if I leave it on as a mask for 5 minutes. Will let you guys know how that one goes. The other thing is the clean and clear shine control daily moisturiser, ok so I don't have oily skin but I just heard that this was an awesome moisturiser regardless. The smell is exactly like the face wash which I had used previously, a fresh smell. It is very hydrating but kind of leaves a slight dewy finish...hmm I thought this was meant for oil control lol Ah well will continue to use a little while longer till I am sure of it. TTYL xx

FRAULEIN 88 ultra shimmer palette!

Hey! Firstly I would like to say that I have been sent this product from the company Fraulein, for review....so a huge thanks to them for supporting my blog! So anyways on with the review. Those of you guys that love the coastal scents style palettes will love this brand as they have a fantastic range of palettes available, from eyes, lips to face etc. They do deliver to the UK and it is reasonable! The package was well packed i.e tons of bubble wrap and nothing came shattered, what a relief eh! The product I have is the 88 ultra shimmer palette and as you can guess it includes 88 shimmery/pearly shadows. Here are my opinions on it after having used them for a couple of days.

Lovely box...good quality and glossy! The size is nice and slimline/compact for those of you who travel a lot or are makeup artists this palette should fit well in your kit.

There are varieties of shades from neutrals to bright funky colours. My favourites are the bronzey/smokey ones shown on the right most of the palette. On the far left I have found the beige and champagne like tones are great for highlighting under your brows and brightening up your inner corners.

Here is a close up of some of the brighter shades for all you adventurous girls! The consistency of these shadows is very smooth although I have to mention some of the orange shades are a little chalky for my liking and require a little warming up. The ones that are less shimmery are not as pigmented but due to the gorgeous shimmy shimmy ones I can let this go haha!

Finally some swatches...the top two are my absolute loved shades! Super bronzed eh! All in all this palette is worth it! It was affordable and trust me I know the meaning of the word budget because I am a student lol I think I am tempted now to go and buy their lip palette and perhaps their fake eyelashes which looked interesting! Oh and their airbrush kit!! I have been looking for one and was so excited when I saw it :)

BFTE cosmetics Mineral pressing kit

This kit includes: hard pressed pressing medium, 12 pan magnetic palette, 12 empty eyeshadow pans (26mm diameter just like MAC!), mixing jar, spatula and a pressing disc. All in a cute hot pink bag! When I used this kit it was the first time I tried pressing pigments. The pigments I used were Barry m dazzle dusts. I had to adjust the amount of the pressing medium I added because when I followed the instructions my pigment never set properly.......so was wasted :( Even though many you tube videos show that the consistency has to be quite cakey, in actual fact using this kit I required a much more runny mix for my dazzle dusts to set and dry. I used around 20-25 drops per eyeshadow. The amount of medium they provide in this kit is very little if you want to press several pigments. Good amount for a starter though. It was $18 which is awesome as at MAC one 15 pro palette that I had purchased was £20! The only thing I yearn for in this kit is a rubbing alcohol to sanitize everything. Oh and shipping took around 6-7 business days which is so fast for international delivery.

Excitement!!

Just ordered the oh so famous Mario Badescu drying lotion! Hope it works for meee....got tired of annoying clusters of acne lol I'll let you guys know how it goes :)

Boots No.7 stay perfect nail colour in DAMSON DREAM

Ok everyone if you are looking for the perfect fall shade or even a shade for occasions, its this one right here! To be honest with you my photography skills are not doing it justice because its so so much more gorgeous in real life lol You know what I think I am going to have to buy some nail wheels to show swatches of the colours to you guys. But anyhow back to the review...this is an organza magenta/red colour with gold and purple iridescence. I picked it up with a £5 boots voucher that I got from another purchase. This brand of nail polishes is fast growing in my collection and I think it is for mow my favourite due to quality and the beauty of the colours they sell. If you have a moment next time you are in boots please check em out.
