Summer Drinks!

This is a bit of a different post for me, but I thought I'd make a quick post about the drinks that have kept me going this Summer.

Belvoir Fruit Farms, Raspberry Lemonade, 75cl, £2.46

Strawberry Curls! *Please Don't Eat*

I first stumbled across Strawberry Curls on Twitter. There seems to be a lot of hype around them so I had to give them a go. They are basically the most ridiculously cute strawberry shaped curlers known to man. When I received them, the first thing I thought was 'well, they're that cute I don't even care if they work or not!'

14 day trial of the new YSL Foundation!

I managed to get my hands on two samples of the new YSL foundation - each has enough to last 7 days.

I had one makeover in Boots, and the lady said my perfect shade was BD20, then a week or so later I had another makeover in Debenhams, and I was told that my perfect shade was BR20 - go figure!

Yves Saint Laurent, Le Teint Touche Eclat, £28, 30ml.

L: BD20 R: BR20

The Body Shop Blue Corn 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Scrub Mask

This has been my favourite buy this month!

I'm always on the look out for new masks to try - and this one came highly recommended from my friends, family and the manager of the Enfield Town The Body Shop.

Blue Corn 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Scrub Mask, £9, 100ml.

Maybelline Superstay24 DualEnded Lip Color - Creme Caramel!!

I'm the kind of person that owns a million lip products - tints, sticks, glosses, balms, pencils, crayons etc etc... I have been really good and since November I haven't bought anything lip related, but as of late i've been getting tired of my reds and pinks and fancied something a little more neutral. Whilst in Boots the Maybelline Superstay24 DualEnded Lip Color in Creme Caramel really caught my eye. In the shop it looked like a browny nude color so I thought I'd treat myself to something new! 

Maybelline Superstay24 DualEnded Lip Color, £8.99.

And here's what it looked like!

Maybelline BB Cream - To buy or not to buy?

A few days ago I got sent 3 free samples of the new Maybelline BB Cream. I got 3 little sachets of the 'light' cream. I actually managed to try these on the 3 sunny days we had last week, which was pretty lucky really. 

Elemis - Defined By Nature, Led By Science.

Elemis is a gorgeous luxury brand who know a thing or two about skin care. Prices of products can range from reasonable to way out of my price range, but it always leads to me to wonder whether you can really put a price on a great skincare range? Elemis is packed full of natural properties and they do not test on animals. They seemed to have hit the nail on the head when it came down to finding that carefully crafted relationship between the use of natural ingredients and scientific advances. They know they're stuff is all i'm saying!

There are quite a few products that I'd like to go through - so apologies in advance for the lengthy post!

'Creaseless' eye shadows... Do they REALLY work?

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner - £14, 4.5g.

Creases = The reason I stopped using eyeshadows. There is nothing more heart braking than to spend ages applying, blending and layering eye shadows to only look in the mirror an hour later to see that all that work has turned into big creases across your eye lid. Bain. Of. My. Life.

It's a fact that every girl owns a million mascaras....

Mascara! If your anything like me then you will most likely have a million and one mascaras dotted around your house. The other month I had a huge clear out and got rid of a lot of old make-up, not to mention that I threw away about 15 old mascaras... If you've had it longer than 6 months - Bin it!!

I'm going to review the last surviving 5 mascaras left in my make up bag.

My very first review... Benefit WOW Foundation!

This is my very first post, so here we go!

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Foundation - £24.50, 30ml

This product has been years in the making. The Benefit brand is a huge, global name who are constantly refreshing their products. However, I was really surprised to find out that this was Benefit's very first liquid foundation. I could not apply the saying 'Good things come to those who wait' any more to this foundation any more if I tried! This product reached UK stores on the 31st March so it is still relatively new. I heard about this coming out at the beginning of the year and I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I always thought it was weird that Benefit hadn't offered a liquid foundation before now... Or if they did they must have discontinued it waaaay before I was in to Benefit.
