SKIN CARE ROUTINE

Image
Hi, So today I wanted to talk skin care and what products I use and also my routine... First of all, I use face wipes just to get all the make-up left 'sitting' on my skin off. I just use Morrisons own brand becuase I'm really not that fussed about face wipes as I use them quickly, so I want them to be cheap! Next off I go to the sink and use my Clarasonic Plus which really deep cleans. I use this with either my Malin and Goetz Grapefruit cleanser or my Ole Henriksen African Red Tea cleanser, both are fabulous are really cleaning skin but don't damage or irratate me. I then just use wash off my face with warm water and dab my face dry with a towel. I then head for my Korres Pomegranate Tonic, or to you and me, 'toner', dab some on a cotton wool pad and sweep across my face. I let this sink in and dry and then continue on with the rest of my routine.    Now this next bit depends on how well my skin is behaving, If im having a spotty day...

PRODUCT REVIEW - STILA CONVERTIBLE COLOR IN GERBERA

Image
  Hi Guys, Todays post is on the Stila Convertible Color. I chose 'Gerbera' from the colour collection as it appealed to me the most, they also have darker colours and lighter ones. Gebera is a pinky/coral colour. This comes in sleek packaging with is really nice and lightweight. The texture of this is like a cream, I would say it's slightly 'tacky' but when you swirl you fingers around in it, it warms up and slides right on. This stuff is really blendable and works really well on top of a base. You can build this product up to be more pigmented or you can put it on sheer and blend it out for a hint of colour on the cheeks. You can also use this on your lips too, so it's a multi-use product and the colour doesn't just go for cheeks or just for lips, the colours are very versatile.  

PRODUCT REVIEW - BOBBI BROWN LONG-WEAR CREAM EYESHADOWS

Image
Hi Guys, In this post I'm talking about the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow. One is from the metallic range and one it not. These have been out for a while now but they are great and long lasting! The two colours I have got and 42 Copper and 8 Antique Gold, however they do offer a great colour range and these are gorgeous and super creamy! These cost £18.50 so not super expensive but not cheap either. To me, these are very pigmented and give a great colour and you can wear them all over the lid, in the tearduct on under the waterline. 

PRODUCT REVIEW - BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR MISTY ROCK AND BRONZE MOON (UPDATED)

Image
If you saw my previous blog post on the By Terry Ombre Blackstar eyeshadows you would see that I wanted to originally get 'Misty Rock' and 'Bronze Moon' however when I went on Space NK, they were out of stock (cries!) however I did get them a few weeks back and I said I would do swatches, sorry they are so late but it's better than never! So here they are... (Bronze Moon on the left and Misty Rock on the right) These are super pigmented and very shimmery and simply look gorgeous on!  I have never know another eye product to last so long, even swatching them on my hand it took a good scrub to get the product off! These retail at £28, not cheap but so worth the money in my opinion!  In terms of colour Bronze Moon is a almost a bronze/gold/brown shade and Misty Rock is a pinky/mauve colour. Both utterly stunning and really make the eyes pop when you wear the colour on your lids. You can either do a quick swipe and go or you can really layer on the prod...

PRODUCT REVIEW - TWEEZERMAN SUPER CURL EYELASH CURLERS

Image
Hey Guys, Today I'm doing a product review on the Tweezerman eyelash curlers. These one's aren't the metal ones that you usually see around, these super curl ones are plastic and very lighweight. To me these feel less 'dangerous' and I don't feel as though I will poke my eye out with them! They are comfortable to hold and I feel like they really do make my eyelashes curl and with mascara they look about ten times better when I use these eyelash curlers! Here are some before and after photo's...so see what you think! (NO MASCARA) BEFORE   AFTER
