Meet my new best friend! ♥ Hydraluron Moisture Booster Serum


Let me start off by saying - My god, this stuff is amazing!




 

I loved my Caudalie SOS thirst quenching serum (review here) but this is just is so so much better! I was thinking of repurchasing the Caudalie serum as mine was on its last legs but as I'd seen a few great reviews on this new-ish Hydraluron serum I thought I'd change it up, give this a go instead and share my thoughts with you guys!

When I find something I love I cant wait to review it and this was one of them products. I have very sensitive skin so I am a little edgy about using new products but this little gamble paid off. This serum doesn't contain fragrance unlike the Caudalie serum and I think that's definitely a positive for me (even though I didn't have a reaction to the Caudalie serum).

It applies like a gel and a little does go a long way, I apply my moisturiser a minute or so later (I'm currently using Avene moisturisers which are amazing!) and my skin feels so hydrating and comfortable. I've definitely fallen in love with this serum as it doesn't aggravate my eczema and keeps me hydrated which is the main thing that I look for in a product.

I cant praise this stuff enough, its my favourite product of the moment and although it is quite expensive at £24.99 its so so worth it if you have skin like mine.  I can see myself repurchasing this over and over!



Have you tried this serum or are you tempted to?

Mrs Organised ♥ New Nail Varnish Stand

I got my Muji storage drawers for christmas and I bloody love them! So when I found this stand on ebay (here) I had to have it, its like a match made in heaven ..
Before - Boring & Empty!





I love how organised it is! I managed to fit around 30 nail polishes in mine but I had to leave a few behind so I may have to stock up on another stand one day ...

Clinique Lid Smoothie in Born Freesia Review & Swatches




Hey Girlies!

I was actually looking to buy one of the new clinique chubby sticks for eyes when I wondered over to the clinique counter but they had totally sold out! So I settled for this little tube of antioxidant goodness instead.

I went for the color 'born freesia' which is a lilacy grey colour, its very pretty and quite subtle on the eye lids which makes it perfect for work. It applies nice and smoothly and doesnt crease which makes a nice change! It's not sticky in the slightest either which is a must for me.

I have to be honest, it doesn't last 8 hours. I'd say a good 3 or 4 before it dissappears on me, I dont have particulaly oily eyelids either they are more on the dryer side if anything.

The cooling applicator is really nice but I do use a brush to blend it out once the product is applied as the applicator does seam to just smudge it around a little.

Overall a very nice product and I have been reaching for it daily, I do still want to try the chubby sticks though!!

Have you tried these or the chubby sticks yet?



March Favies ♥ - Only a week behind, not bad!




Hey my lovelys!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far, how nice is it to finally have a little bit of sunshine out and about?!  I popped to halfords earlier to treat my little car to a spring clean and new air freshener (how sad i know!) everything just seems so much better when its sunny! Enough of the pointless ramblings, I'll get on with the post!

 
 
Lush's dream cream for hand and body is my newest find and its bloody lovely, it does what it says on the tin tub and more! I've got a full review here if you fancy it but if not all I have to say is - you need to pick one of these up! Its says its for any skin type but its amazing for my dry & sensitive skin. It's the best lotion I have ever used and its not to thick or sticky for the current weather. Defo on my repurchase list!

The boots cucumber eye gel is such a baragin buy, I use this as an eyebrow gel and a sort of primer befor my mascara. It really helps to prepare your lashes and the differnce when using this amazing. If you have a spare £1 in Boots buy this and apply before your mascara - your'll love it!


Avene Tolerance Extreme cream - this is my fifth tube of this bad boy! Again, its just perfect for irritated skin. Its so hydrating and is a perfect base for makeup as it has a sort of dewy soft finish. Its non comedigenic but I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin as it is quite thick (not as thick as the avene compensating cream).

I got the Body Shop Wise Woman Eye cream on a bit of a whim, its was £22 down to £6 so I couldn't resist. I have been using this religiously every morning and I really do love it. I'm not sure if it has reduced my under eye shadows but it definitely is nice and nourishing. I definitely notice a positive difference when using this before applying my makeup.



Now that the sun has made an appearence so have my red nails! Red nail varnish is my absolute favourite to wear and this is my most favourite red ever. 'Color so hot is berns' is such a gorgeous red, its more pink toned than orange toned and ah its just perfect!!



I have tried so many concealers in the past and these are my favourite to use at the moment. I've always resisted buying the Garnier under eye roll on but finally caved in when I saw it for only a fiver! I got this in the lightest shade which is a tad too light for me but I apply it after my eye cream but before my concealer and it works really well. Its not the best coverage but its nice and cooling & the metal ball applicator is lovely on those early mornings too!

Everyone raves about the collection lasting perfection concealer but I actually prefer this one! I use this to cover my undereye circles and its brilliant. I'd say the coverage is pretty much full but a little drying (less so than the lasting perfection concealer) so I mix it with the Rimmel wake me up concealer as that is lovely and dewy. Perfect combo!


I love the Kabuki brush for setting any concealer i have applied with powder (not so much under the eyes but on any blemishes) I try not to powder my face too much most days as it does dry out my skin easily and I do like a nice glow if I can get one! I use the setting brush for everything I apply under my eyes, it's just the perfect shape and size!

Whats been your favourite product this month?

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in 'RSVP' Review & Pictures








in shade RSVP
  
Hey Lovelys!

So I'm back with a little review for you, I have seriously missed blogging while I've been away and I've got sooo many new things I want to write about!

So this little pot of gorgeous-ness is one of benefit creasless eyeshadows , I ordered this online so I wasn't sure what exactly to expect. I love benefits velvet eyeshadows so couldn't wait for this to arrive. It really is lovely and I'd describe this colour as a gorgeous rose gold. This can be applied for a nice natural shimmer on the eyes or you can really layer it up for a nice bit of colour.

This is the first cream eyeshadow that I have tried and its so so easy to use, it's so smooth it glides on without any tugging. I thought for some reason that it might be a little sticky but its not in the slightest! The colour is gorgeous on its own or it makes a perfect base for powder eyeshadows. I found that this did crease a little but I don't use an eyeprimer (as I'm always in a rush!) so I'm sure that would help, I find that most products crease around the eyes anyway so that doesn't bother me!

These usually sell for £14 but are on sale for £7 at the moment so grab one while they're cheaper!

Have you tried any of these creaseless eye shadows? What did you think?
