Sally Hansen Lip Inflation and Poundland Discovery

Hey!

I have been absolutely crazy for lip products recently! I can't seem to get enough of them! Luckily for me, I made a potentially money saving discovery, Poundland sell make up! They sell them in clear packets and stock a range of products and brands. However, it's a bit like a jumble sale, you never know what gems you'll find, if any at all. I spotted some Wet n' Wild products in there, which will sure have me going back for more! I will say, however, the colours and shades aren't always desirable, which is maybe why they're only a pound.

Anyway, ramble over, I picked up this Sally Hansen lip gloss in Sheer Blush in Poundland. As the name says, its a sheer gloss with a hint of peachiness and shine. It's designed to make the lips inflate and has that tingly feeling, which I personally quite like. It has a sweet candy like smell to it, which is an added bonus. It would look great over a lipstick to add shine or just on its own. The one blip is the applicator. It's not bad, just unusual. It's taken me a few applications to get used to 'painting' my gloss on! haha

A Seaside Retreat

Hey!

Recently I went away with my family to Burton Bradstock, Dorset. We stayed on a caravan site; a tradition in my family. I have many happy memories of summers on the coast, staying in a caravan and making our own entertainment. The simple days! We'd actually stayed on this site before and have regularly visited West Bay, a near by town, so it was nice to go back and see how it had changed. I thought I'd share some of the photos with you as they're quite idyllic

My favourite photo of the whole trip. The sea is so blue!

We went rowing, fun, although we were in the reeds a lot!

Sinful Colors- Let's Talk

Hey!

I saw a brightly coloured stand in Boots and immediately drawn towards it. When I got in front of it, there were the most colourful nail polishes I have ever seen. Unfortunately there was a limited selection so I chose Let's Talk, a deep purple with a pearl finish. I've never seen a colour like it and couldn't wait to get it on my nails. Although opaque in one coat I always apply two out of habit. This lasted for about three to four days (the picture below was after four and as you can see only the edges had started to wear) without chipping and for a price tag of £1.99 you cannot go wrong!

Pick yours up HERE or in a Boots store

What's your favourite polish or brand? Do you have a similar colour?

Collection Lasting Perfection Creamy Concealer

Hey!

Any blogger worth their salt will have tried this concealer! I think all that could be said on it, has been said but thought I would just do quick post on what I thought of it.

This concealer can be used for both under eye circles and blemishes as it is very creamy and high coverage. This would be something I would look for in a concealer as I have quite bad under eye circles a lot of the time and blemishes on my cheeks. You don't need a lot of it as a little goes a long way so it lasts well. I find that applying it with the doe foot applicator and then blending it in with my finger works best for me, application wise. I don't have a bad thing to say about it really!

The packaging is good for the price you're paying and I like the doe foot applicator. However the packaging tends to get grubby quite quickly, I've had mine for a little while now but as you can see most of the writing has come off and it looks worse for wear. However for what you are paying I think that the packaging is something that can be looked past!

I like this concealer and would recommend it but am looking forward to trying a new one when this one runs out. If anyone was wondering, the shade I have in this is Medium 3. I bought mine from Superdrug or you can order it HERE

What's your favourite concealer? How do you like to apply it?

Rimmel Natural Bronzer- Sun Bronze

Hey!

I picked up this Rimmel Natural Bronzer in 022 Sun Bronze when my Clinique one finally bit the dust and crumbled into tiny pieces. I didn't really look around, just picked up the first one I saw. Luckily I love it! This bronzer gives me a lovely sunkissed look without being too orangey. I apply this either all over my face with a big fluffy brush or with a contouring brush in the hollows of my cheeks to give my face some definition. I find that this product works well for both uses and I like the fact it has SPF 15 in it, as some extra protection for my face.

One negative point I do have to make about it is the packaging. I'm not sure if it's just my bronzer or all of them as a whole but the lid always seems quite loose, so I have to make sure not to throw it in my bag. Other than that, I love it.

Since then I've been looking around and seen this bronzer from Collection (sorry for the stock photo, I don't own the product-yet!). It's huge and for a mere £4.19, it's an absolute bargain! I'll be interested to see how that one fares when my current one is finished.

You could pick either of these products up in Boots/ Superdrug or order them HERE (Rimmel) and HERE (Collection)

What's your favourite bronzer? Do you like either of these ones?

Topshop Eye Crayon- Marble

Hey!

This was one the items I picked for my sister prom look (post HERE)and then nabbed for myself after! Marble is a lovely champagne shimmery colour. I would use this as a base colour or as an inner eye highlight. Despite being a gorgeous colour, I find that you can't really build the colour as an all over the eye shade as the texture of the crayon becomes a bit pasty.

I'd definitely love to pick up some more colours of this. I've had my eye on Rust, a metallic bronze that's a bit more on the red orangey side than my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze (POST)

The eye crayons aren't currently on the website but you can pick them up in most Topshop stores

Do you have any shades of these crayons? Do you have another favourite cream shadows?

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Tan Lotion

Hey!

This is a post for the books! The first official holy grail item on my blog! 

I can't rave about this product enough! It gives a lovely summer glow that looks very natural, and is dark enough even for me (I'm mixed race).  The colour can be built if applied daily or can provide a glow to your skin with a one off application. I've been liking to apply this about 3 times a week to maintain the tan I've picked from this crazy English heatwave recently.

AND as if it can't get better enough it has that goooorgeous Palmer's cocoa butter smell. I think I'm in love...

I picked mine up in Superdrug (my beloved shop!) but you can get it from Boots or order it from HERE
