Maybelline Baby Lips

Babay Lips are here. While they have been out in America for a long time the UK has been patiently waiting to get their hands on them and now they finally can. There have been 6 Baby Lips released in the UK and i have collected them all. They are not all the same as the ones in America but some are. 

There are 6 different Baby Lips. 3 of them are clear and 3 of them are coloured. The colours are Pink, Red and Nude. The clear ones each have a different scent and use.  

The first one is called Hydrate and it comes in a Blue tube with Pink writing on the clear lid. It smells a bit like Haribo's and sweets. It Hydrate's your lips and makes them feel refreshed and juicy.

The next is called Intense Care and comes in a Yellow tube with orange writing on the clear lid. It smells of cherry bakewells and it is my favourite smelling one of them all. It makes your lips feel smooth and soft because it cares for your lips.

The 3rd is called Mint Fresh  and comes in a green tube with purple writing on the clear lid. It smells of peppermint or chewing gum. It makes your lips tingle when you apply it leaving your lips feeling refreshed. 

The 4th is called Cherry me and comes in a orange tube with red writing on the clear lid. It smells of cherries. It make you lips feel soft and juicy. It comes out a light red colour when applied to your lips.

The 5th one is called Pink Punch and comes in a pink tube with yellow writing on the clear lid. It smells of strawberries. It leaves your lips smooth when applied. It comes out a bright pink colour on your lips. This is my least favourite out of all the baby lips because of the colour it comes out. 

The last one is called Peach Kiss and comes in a purple tube with nude coloured writing on the clear lid. It smells of peaches. When applied to your lips it make them feel smooth and glossy. It comes out a glittery nude colour. 

I love the packaging of the baby lips. The different colour tubes with the different colour writing on the lids. I think it gives them a very cute feel. I like to put these in my pocket or bag when I'm going out and apply them whenever I feel like it. These are such cute lips balms and I am in love with them already. 

I find it hard to choose which one is my favourite because I like them all so much. You can purchase these at most stores but i didn't find mine until i got to the counter to pay for my other bits, just look for them.

You can also get them here for £2.99 - http://www.superdrug.com/lips/maybelline-baby-lips-balm-repair/invt/706859&bklist=

Simple Foaming Cleanser

I am not a big fan of face washes and I have super sensitive skin. When i saw this in the supermarket i thought, why not try it. Turns out this product is perfect for me.

This face wash is made by Simple which I am sure loads of you have heard of. It's full name is Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser. When I brought it, it was a new product of the shelves but now it might be a bit of an old one. 

I wanted to start by telling you what it does and has in it. Well it's got multi-vitamin goodness for naturally healthy skin and it also has added moisturisers. I noticed it said kind to skin on the bottle and thinking of the fact that I have sensitive. 

It contains Pro-vitamin B5 to actively restore, soften and smooth and Vitamin E to moisturise to improve skin condition. It also has Glycerin to hydrate and nourish, Chamomile to soften and smooth and Geranium to condition and regenerate. There are no perfumes and no colours in this face wash.

Simple are the experts in sensitive skin. The bottle has a pump on it which you just push down and the foam comes out into your hand, you only need about 2-3 pumps then rub it all over your face. This product makes my skin feel soft to touch and feel refreshed. 

It is a foaming cleanser so obvioulsy it foams up, when you pump it into your hand it comes out as a foam in a white colour, it's a soft foam that you just put onto your face. Simply wash off with warm water and done. It really does cleanse your skin and make it feel cleaner.

Simple, it's simple.

You can get this from any supermarket stores or order it offline, you can get a 150ml bottle from boots here for £4.49 - http://www.boots.com/en/Simple-Kind-To-Skin-Vital-Vitamin-Foaming-Cleanser-150ml_1160720/

Very recomended buy.

VO5 Gloss me Smoothly

I recently did a blog on VO5 extreme hold hairspray and thought since I had these I could do a blog on these also.

Gloss me Smoothly is a shampoo&conditioner set, I do not use these very often but I have used them before. They smell nice and feel nice when you use them in your hair. They are not my favourite product but are not too bad. I got this set for chirstmas and it came with a mini hairbrush.

This set is designed for frizzy hair. The bottles are 250ml. The shampoo is the pink bottle and the conditioner is the white bottle. The shampoo comes out as a white gel and the conditioner comes out as a white cream. They also have adaptive haircare technology. 

You can buy 500ml bottles from many stores or online, I found them at boots for just £3.99 -

Soap&Glory Mist you Madly

Mist you madly is a body fragrance by soap&glory. I like soap&glory's products because they always smell and feel nice. The body spray is a flirty floral scent and comes in a 100ml bottle which is 3.4 US fluid ounces. The bottle is easy to use, just grab and spray all over your body. I spray in a Z formation over my body making sure I go from shoulder to shoulder, diagonally down my chest and stomach and back across from thigh to thigh/Knee to knee so all of my body smell nice. This spray reminds me a lot of exotic fruits. The fragrance is so good, I use this all the time. 

You can get this from boots or the website.. or get a 100ml bottle here for £3.50 - http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Mist-You-Madly%C2%99-Mini-Body-Spray-100ml_1114197/

Topshop Long Lash Mascara

Topshop sells nice clothes and amazing make-up. Although it's quite expensive the quality is great. I don't have much out of there but I am saving up for more because I want to try out some other things.

With different mascaras I was stuck for choice but settled with the long lash mascara.

The boxes were plain and simple but had a sketchy effect to them which i liked. The bottle of mascara had that same effect. The mascara is simply called Long Lash Mascara by Topshop. Each mascara had a different design, Long Lash has stripes on the box and the lip of the bottle.

The mascara is a dark black colour which is nice because that's how I like mascara to be. It has a weird smell to it but it doesn't bother me. The brush has small bristles on it that sticks out all around. This makes the eyelashes longer when you apply it and it's also good because when I use it I do not get any clumps of black and my eyelashes do not stick together either. 

Before using this product my eyelashes were short but curly and very faint but once applied the mascara made my eyelashes visibly longer and fuller and blacker. The after photo isn't very good because i rushed the mascara but when time has been taken to apply the mascara looks beautiful and makes you eyelashes noticeable.

You can buy different kinds of mascara from topshop stores also and you can get long lash mascara in store, if you want to order offline then you can get waterproof mascara here for £10.00 - http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/make-up-431/eyes-470/waterproof-mascara-67858?bi=1&ps=200

Long Lash mascara comes out beautifully and is easy to use. A very recommended product and be sure to try out some of their other make-up too.

Rimmel London Instant Tan+Gradual Glow

Rimmel London is a brand we constantly see on our shelves in the shop, we see their adverts on the tele and in magazines, well most you you probably have an item of theirs in your home somewhere, used regularly or abandoned under the bed, many have been intrigued to buy a product with the name Rimmel on it. Well I'm not a big fan of spray tans and fake tan that lasts ages, stains your skin and comes out orange, but i must admit I'm white as a ghost, my skin is totally pale and even when i try to get a tan I end up burning, it's not use so I had to resort to the most terrible thing...I thought. I shopped around before I went on holiday, and found a massive shelf with loads of signs saying 'TANS' so looking through them all I thought 'great, all fake and orange', i needed something and came across this 'Instant tan and Gradual Glow' Well it doesn't sound too bad so I ended up buying it, also because it was the cheapest.

Taking it home I read the bottle and saw it said 'Instant Tan washes off', which it does you can apply it one day then get in the shower and wash it off the next which is great, but the more you apply and use this tan the more you get a gradual glow stopping you from looking so pale. I got the lightest colour which is called 'Light' and I'm glad I did because once applied it comes out quite dark, medium would have looked stupid and dark would have been, well I'm guessing it would have come out some disgusting orange colour. This product is matt so it's creamy to apply but once rubbed in gives a matt effect leaving your skin feeling smooth and soft which I liked about this.

When you first use this you need to add quite a bit but not too much it looks like an obvious fake tan. It comes out a dark brown colour and doesn't look very nice if you know what I mean. You start to rub it in and i spreads out still looking a very nasty colour and when I first did it i freaked out thinking the colour would be terrible. Once completely rubbed in the colour looks very nice, it looks like a tan and not a fake one. Your skin feels nice and smooth after as well. When you look at one leg compared to the other you can see the obvious difference which is good because it means this products works and gives you a tan no matter what skin tone you have, but because it shows the difference very easily you need to be aware of an lines after applying all over because you might leave a patch letting people know you have faked it, get someone to tell you if it looks good all over wherever you apply it. I apply mine to my legs, arms, face and neck, sometimes my chest depending on what I am wearing. Just go out and the tan will make you look good, it will last until you have a shower, scrub it off with a bit of soap and you are back to your normal skin colour. 

This tan is really good and really effective, if you aren't too sure but you want to and have some spare cash, go and get this because it's cheap, try it out and if you don't like it just wash it off because it's that simple anyway. You will always get a good result if you do it right. I am very impressed with this product and will continue to purchase it when I can. Very good results. 

You can get it here for £4.66 and you can get it in most stores now - http://www.superdrug.com/rimmel/rimmel-sunshimmer-gradual-glow-light-matte/invt/576750&bklist= I do recommend this product for easily, simple and effective tanning.

Alberto Balsam Conditioners

Alberto Balsam is a hair brand. To my knowledge they sell shampoos&conditioners but i am not sure of any other products. I don't find it hard choosing out a conditioner, i pick up whichever of these takes my fancy. Recently i went shopping and these conditioners were on 4 for £5.00 but they are normally £1.49 which is very cheap. You can get loads of different types of conditioners with the shampoo to match. I already had one at home&brought these other four so I'm going to tell you about my 5 favourite conditioners as i do not use the shampoos.

The 5 conditioners i have are called:
*Juicy Green Apple
*Sun Kissed Raspberry
*Mandarin and Papaya
*Tee Tree Tingle
*Coconut and Lychee

I like these because they do good, smell good and feel good.

The first is called Juicy Green Apple and it is a herbal conditioner. It contains apple and grape extracts. This conditioner is specialised to get fresh for normal/greasy hair. The bottle is 400ml and smells of apple (obviously). It leaves your hair soft and smelling great. It comes out a light green colour.

The next is called Sun Kissed Raspberry and is also a herbal conditioner. It contains juniper&chamomile extracts. This one is specialised to moisture splash for normal/dry hair. The bottle again is 400ml and this smells of raspberry's. (I know I'm pointing out the obvious but some things smell different to what they are)

It leaves your hair smooth and again smelling great. It comes out a light pink colour.

The 3rd is called Mandarin and Papaya but this time it is not a herbal conditioner but it does just as good. It contains mandarin and papaya extracts. This is specialised for normal/dry hair. The bottle is 400ml and smells of oranges. It comes out a beige/light orange colour.

The 4th is called Tee Tree Tingle and is a herbal conditioner. It contains tee tree and mint extracts. This is specialised to help promote healthy hair and scalp. The bottle is 400ml and it has a mint/tee tree smell to it. It comes out a pale green/turquoise colour. This by far is my favourite smelling one.

  The last on is called Coconut and Lychee but is not a herbal conditioner. It contains coconut and lychee extracts. This is specialised for detangling for all hair types. The bottle is 400ml and it has a coconut smell to it. It comes out a white/creamy colour. This by far feels the nicest on my hair and does good aswell. 

It doesn't matter what kind of hair you have, you can use anyone of these conditioners and they will still do and fell just as good. If you have a specific hair type and you want to use a conditioner specially for that then you can check out their website and find something that suits you as these aren't the only ones they do. I got mine from morrisons but you can get them from anywhere. 

You can also get them from the internet here, they are normally £1.49 but they have been reduced to £0.99 which is an amazing deal so get some now before the offer ends (20/8/13) - http://albertobalsam.com/shop/alberto-balsam-conditioner/alberto-balsam-herbal-conditioner-sun-kissed-raspberry/

Clean&Clear Morning Energy

 Clean&Clear, a brand most of you must have heard of and a lot of you probably use. I like Clean&Clear because their products do good things for your skin, for spot treatments and moisturisers. This is called Morning Energy and you can 100% guess when you use it, obviously in the morning. It's a skin brightening daily facial moisturiser that gently moisturises and visibly brightens your skin, it contains lemon and papaya extracts. Lemon is meant to be really good for your skin so putting it in this makes your face feel fresh and revitalised in the morning after a long night. My face feels disgusting most mornings unless i wash it or use this amazing stuff, you can definitely feel the difference after using this.  

It comes out as a smooth moisture cream and it's white. The cap is just a push down one so it's easy to get out and it locks when your turn it so no leakages when putting it into a bag. It's a non-greasy moisturiser that has been uniquely formulated. It also makes your skin feel soft and smooth with a refreshing citrus fragrance that awakens your senses which is gentle enough to be used everyday and is suitable for evenings. 

All you have to do is cleanse your skin and then apply all over your face with a generous amount. The bottle is only 75ml which is not a lot considering how much you use it.

I do recommend this if mornings make your skin feel uncomfortable. You can buy this in your local store liek Asda and small beauty stores like superdrug, you can also get it online for £3.99 which i think is a bit expensive but worth it, you can also buy other morning energy products with more mass for the same price so check them all out as well. - http://www.superdrug.com/hydrated-skin/clean+clear-morning-energy-moisturiser-75ml/invt/272551&bklist=

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance

 Aussie is one of my favourite brands of hair products. I absolutely love it, they have so many different kinds of things from shampoos and conditioners to hair sprays and gels. Aussie is an Australian brand and most of their products contain Australian jojoba oil which is meant to be really good for your hair. This is my all time favourite thing from Aussie, it's a Leave-in-conditioner. It says it's a saviour for weak, distressed hair. My hair is terribly weak and distressed and this makes it feel so much softer and fuller. This also contains Australian jojoba oil. The bottle says 'It's a unique formula, with a drop of australian jojoba seed oil, detangles and helps you to protect your hair from everyday wear and tear.' Another thing it claims to do is protect & detangle. Which I believe it does, i spray this on when i just get out the shower before brushing, it makes my hair so much easier to brush through after this has been sprayed in, then after you just leave it in making your hair feel revitalised. 

'There's more to life than hair but it's a good place to start.' That's the Aussie philosophy. People have been using jojoba seed oil for centuries to naturally condition hair and Aussie have made it easier to use for us. This is a must have for the beach and it makes styling easier. It tells you on the back of the bottle but I just want to confirm that this is one of the best smelling things ever, it does smell so lush, it has a sweet scent to it. The bottle is 250ml which is good because i go through a lot of this. 

I also have the Aussie 3 minute miracle Reconstructor  which you use in the shower, i did have one of the Aussie Shampoos&Conditioners and I own Take the heat gel and coconut milk gel. Aussie is great for hair products, it smells good and is totally worth buying.

You can get it from your local store like Asda, Morrisions, Superdrug etc or online here from superdrug for only £3.50 which is such a good bargin - http://www.superdrug.com/shine-this-summer/aussie-miracle-hair-insurance-leave-in-conditioner-250ml/invt/286112&bklist=

I will post more Aussie products in a couple of weeks as Aussie is one of my favourite brands.

VO5 High Volume Hairspray

VO5 is a very popular brand when it comes to hair products. When i went on the hunt for a good holding hairspray i found this. It's called VO5 High Volume hairspray. The bottle holds 400 ml of hairspray and was the biggest bottle out of them all, which for many is good because they use so much. I have had this since the beginning of the year as I do not use it that much in my hair. I think VO5 is a good brand to use. I also have the smoothly does it tame and shine spray.

The back of the bottle states that it is the UK's No.1 styling brand* and that you can style with confidence.  It has 5 vital benefits they are-
*All day hold and volume that brushes out easily, leaving hair soft to touch.
*Weather Protection provides a shield against humidity for 24 hours, preventing frizz.
*Ultrafine Fast-Drying 360 degrees spray, with no sticky residue.
*Healthy shine to finish your volumised look.
*UV filter to help protect against environmental damage.
I think all the things that you get out of this hairspray is good for the amount of money you spend on it.

This hairspray is weather resistant which is one of the reasons I brought it, my hair is totally weather sensitive and this helps so much, not completely but it does make a difference. The nose makes the spray easy to use just spray round the whole of your head and you are done.

I absolutely recommend this hairspray if you need a weather resistant one that is easy to use and has vital benefits. It really works and the bottle is massive, there are many different kinds of VO5 hairpsrays at these sizes that are weather resistant with less of a strong hold if that is what you are looking for. I picked mine up in Asda but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere also.

Here is a similar product that does just as good in a 100ml can for only £2.00 from asda but if you go in the store they have more variety and you might be able to find this and/or a bigger size (400ml) can.- http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml?cmpid=ahc-_-ghs-_-asdacom-dsk-_-hp-_-sub-cosmetics&#/product/910000288480

Soap&Glory Tricks of the Shade Eye Shadow Palette

Many have heard of the brand Soap&Glory and think of it as body washes and moisturizers. I'd never really heard of the brand and thought that is all they did until one Christmas. My sister who got me into make up gave me this as a present.

Once i had brought it home i thought i'd try it out and was pleased with the quality of it. It comes with a Carbon Black Extreme Eyeliner Pen, Twelve Shadow Shades and a Blend-It-All Double-Ended Brush.

I just want to add that the Carbon Black Extreme Eyeliner Pen that comes with this eye shadow palette is amazing. It's easy to use and comes out a very dark black and comes out with ease too. It dries very quickly and can be used to make thick or thin line depending on what bit of the pen you use to draw with. It rubs off easily with a make up wipe also. 

 There are a great variety of colors even though there are only twelve and i use this palette a lot.The colors are called (going from left to right) Vanilla, Minky, Pink T, Mudhoney, Aubersheen, Dandy Plum, Diamond Dust, Chine, Black Gold, Sugar Violet, Wild Blue, Smokin'.

It was hard to choose but i wanted to show you at least 3 of my favorites. These are the ones i use the most, all 3 are natural colors because that's what suits me the most. Luckily these are the first 3 in the palette and are called (from left to right) Vanilla, Minky & Pink T. I like Vanilla because its light and you can apply it just to highlight your eye going all the way up to the brow area. Minky is nice its that little bit darker and it tones your eyelid perfectly, especially when using eyeliner with it. Pink T is almost like vanilla but its got that shine of pink to it, just adding the tiniest bit of color without it being too noticeable.

These are my least favorite colors, i know that there are quite a few there making this seem like a horrible palette but the only reason i dislike them is because they don't suit me. To start with the purple at the top is too bright and makes my eyes pop too much, i went through a phase when i was younger of wearing purple eye shadow almost everyday that i could and i defiantly regret it a lot.  Purple eye shadow does not suit me but that's not to say this color isn't great on others. The purple is called Sugar Violet which i think is a misleading name, it sounds light it should be a light color when its rather dark on the skin.

The Black on the far left is called Black Gold which once again is a misleading name because having the word gold with black makes you think of a lighter tone, gold is shiny and tinted whereas this color when on the skin is rather matted and dark. The reason i do not like this color is because its too matt for me, the only time i use this would be when using eyeliner and i want to make it stand out by just going over it with this color.

The one in the middle is called Dandy Plum, the only reason i don't like this one is because it doesn't suit me, its too dark and comes out very dusty on the skin. This color might look very good on another person.

The one on the far right is called Wild Blue. The name is appropriate for this color because the blue isn't very light but isn't too dark either. This color i think would look nicer to be worn on an evening out. This color will never be worn by me however because i just couldn't pull it off.

The color on the bottom of the picture is called Smokin'. The name suits it because of it's dark color, if you look closely you can also see the little bit of glitter it contains and ashes have that little glisten in them. I actually do not absolutely dislike this color because it does look very pretty but when i put black eye shadow on my eyes i look terrible and this can come out very dark on the skin, that's the only reason i do not like this color.

I am very pleased with this product and recommend it for anyone in need of a mix of colors. I am not sure where you can buy this product but i think you can get it from bigger boots stores and online.

I Love...Strawberries&Milkshake

Heaven in a pot. That's just it. A quick short blog just to tell you that this stuff is amazing. I love... is a trustworthy brand when it comes to things like this, i recently purchased this in superdrug for only 99p, yes thats all 99p. I thought thats such a good price for a big pot like that, I bet its not that nice. So i brought it to try it out and im so glad i did. This stuff is amazing. I also  picked up the bodywash a few weeks ago and i wasn't dissapointed, it smella just as great at the lip balm. Both smell of simply.. strawberries and milkshake. The lip balm wasn't dissapointing when applied either it was soft on the skin. I truly am in love with this little pot of heaven. 

And its true to say that I love...Strawberries&Milkshake.<3

Topshop Nails

I am one who owns many nail varnishes but never wears any of them, i have very short nails and have been encouraged to grow them because of my most recent nail product purchase. I was searching around in topshop the other day, buying some socks as you do, and i thought i'd check out the makeup as my sister goes on about how good it is all the time, i picked up a mascara which i have been unable to use at the moment because of individual false eyelashes i am wearing. I passed along the very long wall of nail varnishes, i was astonished by the amount of different colors and varieties there were. I was tempted to buy one, i couldn't choose out of so many and i ended up coming out with these two.

 The first is a pale beige color and is called cafe au lait, which means coffee with milk in english. This is an appropriate name for the color as its a milky brown kind of color. This is great for school and gives your nails a nice polished finish.

The second is a glitter and is called Ashes&Fire, which is a good name as it describes the colors perfectly, there are silvers, blues, reds and greens and it glistens when it catches the light. It has a beautiful sparkle that gives it a pretty finish and i love using this one as an accent nail or just on my nails on its own without any backing.

These beautiful colors have inspired me to grow my nails longer. They are brilliant because they brush on with ease and depending on how light or dark you want them to be they only need a few coats. 

Also i want to add how cute the bottles are, the lip design with the draw on polka dots give it such a sweet effect, and the writing on the bottle just finishes it off giving it a homemade feel.

Definitely worth the buy.

Nivea Lip Butter Review

The Only way i can describe Nivea Lip Butters are by saying that they are pocket size pots of smooth, creamy goodness. They have everything, they look cute, they do good, they feel good and they smell good. You can't go wrong if you're buying one of these tiny pots. The great thing is you can just slip it on your pocket when going up the road or out on a day trip and just apply when your lips are feeling a bit dry. These are the two i have.

 Raspberry Rose - This purely does smell of what it says, mainly of raspberry's but you can smell the hint of rose in there. Its smooth texture feels creamy on your lips and the taste is great.

Caramel Cream - This has a very distinctive smell of caramel, like a chocolate bar with a creamy filling or a light caramel fudge, it makes you crave sweet things. I love this pot because just like the other one its super cute and pocket size. The color is pale but tints your lips just a little bit, it feels good and does good just as the other one. This is my favorite smelling one out of the two because it smells amazing.

I think Nivea Lip Butter is a great buy and is defiantly worth it. You can purchase it in store at superdrug online at  http://www.superdrug.com/search?q=nivea+lip+butter&searchsubmit=Search for just £2.25.

TUSKCU-The Ultimate Spot Killer and Cover Up

Spots are a problem for most people, weather its the normal spot or a nasty blackhead, everyone gets them, some more than others. Spots are developed through the healthiness and cleanliness of the skin and also the foods you eat are a big part of it as well  I help prevent spots by using TUSKCU-The Ultimate Spot Killer and Cover Up, its three simple steps to help prevent spots. So here's a quick guide and a review on the products i use.

 Clean and Clear deep cleansing lotion for sensitive skin. This is the first thing i use when trying to prevent spots. Its an oil fighting formula that cleanses effectively and helps prevent spots. Many reviews have moaned about how this product does not completely get rid of all their spots, however they did not say that the product didn't work at all. The bottle does say  'helps prevent spots' which does not mean completely rid your face of them. I find this product really useful, my skin is super sensitive and this does not make me itch or burn at all. The back of the bottle says 'It cleanses your skin gently but effectively to remove everyday build up of oil, dirt and grease. It is totally effective as a single-step cleanser to clean thoroughly and help prevent spots. It can also be used to refresh, tone and tighten pores after washing.' which i think is true. This product makes your skin feel so clean and refreshed after use. Just apply to a cotton pad and rub all over your face as often as required, i tend to do it every night before i go to bed and also before i apply my make up in the morning. No need to rinse this product off, use as part of your daily routine for clean and healthy skin. You can purchase this in store at boots or superdrug for only £2.99 or online at http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&catalogId=11051&productId=982937&langId=-1&callingViewName&cm_mmc=Paid%20Search-_-Plusbox-_-Link-_-CleanandClearDeepCleansingLotionForSensitiveSkin200ML&cm_mmc=pla-_-google-_-Boots+Beauty-_-Beauty+-+PLAs

 Tea Tree Spot Stick. I use this very often because its so great. Its superdrug's own brand, it contains natural tee tree and peppermint oils. This little bottle goes into my makeup bag and goes with me wherever i go, if i feel a a spot coming on or need to top up i can just apply it straight away without any cotton pads. You apply this directly to the affected area and use regularly every morning and evening. Its designed just like a concealer stick but instead holds a liquidy gel like formula designed so you can easily apply straight to your spot. It comes out clear as you can see by the swatch i have done, in the bottle it appears green but when applied to the skin it is  clear color so it is unnoticeable  i have used a lot in my swatch so you can see where i have applied it.  You can purchase it in store or online for only £2.99. http://www.superdrug.com/hair/superdrug-tea-tree-and-peppermint-spot-stick-8ml/invt/587249&bklist=

 Natural Collection Cover Up Cream. This is the last thing i use in my spot process. The color is fair because i have very pale skin. Its just a creamy concealer, a few dabs on the spot the use your finger or a concealer brush to rub it in gently. It doesn't completely cover up the spot but it does make it less noticeable. You can buy it in a boots store on online here http://www.boots.com/en/Natural-Collection-Cover-up-Cream_25835/ for £1.99


This is a simple way to reduce spots and the products used i highly recommend as they are brilliant to use and reasonably cheap.

Barry M Kohl Pencil

Barry M Kohl pencil has both its good and bad qualities. I have been using this product for quite some time now, i use it for eyeliner in my waterline. You can buy it in various different colors and the price is great. The application is easy as it doesn't need to be pushed that hard for the color to come out. Its a deep black much blacker than other eyeliner pencils i have used which is what i like the most about it.

The only problem is, it rubs off really easily after about an hour or so of wear i look in the mirror to have black smudges all under my eyes making me look like a panda. Even if i'm just sitting at home doing nothing while wearing the eyeliner it just rubs off so this would be no good for a night out because the wear would be even shorter.

Its a shame that the Barry M kohl pencil has one problem because other than that it has many good qualities to it.

If you are looking for a good eyeliner that washes off easily or you want a cheap deal then Barry M kohl pencil is the way to go. Buy it from boots or superdrug or online at http://www.superdrug.com/barry-m/barry-m-kohl-pen-2-black/invt/567495&bklist= for only £2.99.

Barry M TMLP Touch of Magic Lipstick Review

I discovered the Barry M TMLP Touch of magic Lipstick when my sister showed me hers, i tried it out and was amazed with the results. I went out and brought some for myself and i am so glad i did because i LOVE using this product considering i'm not a big fan of lipsticks ( i prefer lip glosses and balms). I thought this product was so good it deserved a review.

At first when my sister brought out the lipstick to show me and i saw that it was green i was disgusted thinking 'how could anyone put that color on their lips and walk around wearing it?' When she put it on i was astonished with how it came out pink when in contact with the skin and when i tried it on it came out a different shade of pink. I later found out it creates a unique color, depending on the PH levels in your lips. The pigmentation is amazing , its just like a moisturizing lip balm. After only one application it lasts only a couple of hours but once it has worn off it stains pink, I did a swatch on my hand and after i washed them the swatch was still noticeable as a stain after.

Barry M's Touch of Magic Lipstick gives you a beautiful pink color on your lips and moisturizes them at the same time.

I highly recommend this lipstick, Barry M is a good, trustworthy brand and is reasonably priced.

You can purchase Barry M TMLP Touch of Magic Lipstick from boots or superdrug in store or online for only £4.49 which is a great deal.
