This weeks most used #2

Hey Lovelys!

I've fallen in love with a few new products recently and they have quickly (and easily) became staple products. There are a few oldies in the mix too so thought I would summarise them up in a little post :)

♥ Hydraluron Moisture Booster Serum (review here) -
This is by far my favourite product at the moment, it really does do what it says on the box and ah its just amazing. I have so much love for this product I could go on and on but if you try one new product at all this week/month it should be this!

♥ Benefit They're Real Mascara (review here) -
I finally caved and brought it and a lot like the serum above it almost immediately became my favourite! I used to swear by the Clinique curling mascara but this is just so so much better. Definitely my favourite mascara to date!

♥ Avene Skin Recovery Moisturiser & Tolerance extreme moisturiser -
I swear by the tolerance extreme moisturiser if you have dry/irritated/sensitive skin but as my skin has been behaving itself lately I've switched to the skin recovery cream which is much lighter. I tend to still use the tolerance extreme moisturiser at night as its so soothing and nourishing. Really love these 2 products! Review coming soon :)

♥ Aveeno Moisturising Creamy Oil -
This stuff is my best friend at the moment. It moisturises but doesn't feel greasy in the slightest, it a runny consistency which makes it easy peasy to apply and again this has quickly become a favourite of mine!

♥ Clinique Superfine Liner -
I've tried a lot of different eyebrow pencils and this is the one I always come back to. Its the perfect shade for my mousey brown eyebrows and the fact that its so fine is perfect as it's precise (I don't have the thickest of brows). I use quite a light hand with this and this still gives a nice colour pay off.

♥ S Factor Smoothing Conditioner -  
I got this part of a set and I absolutely love it. It makes your hair so soft and shiney and it smells delicious. Its definitely my go to conditioner at the moment and I will be writing a full review on this soon!

♥ Tresemme Heat Defence Spray -
This is the only heat defence spray that I have tried and actually liked! I often find that they make your hair sticky or slimey but I've never got that with this spray. I don't think you can really overdo it, it calms frizzies and actually makes your hair more manageable.

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!

Clinique | Take The Day Off Cleansing Milk Review

I'm not a fan of this cleanser, i find it really dries my skin out. It does have a nice runny milky consistency and it does get your make up of but its just so so drying! It also stings my eye area like crazy!

I really like the packaging and the pump is very handy but that's the only positives i have on this unfortunately.

I must prefer my Garnier cleansing lotion to this it has the same consistency, doesn't sting and its so much cheaper!

Did anyone else find this cleanser drying? ♥

 

Clinique Makeup | High Impact Curling Mascara Review, Before & After Pics

Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara

I ♥ this mascara, this is alwayyyys the one I go back to. Its a nice curvy shaped brush and it makes my eye lashes stick up! They are quite short so they usually sink even after I've curled them. (little sods!)

This mascara doesn't come off with make up remover very well, it's designed to come off with warm water - which it does brilliantly, but you do get left with little black bits all around your eyes but it does come off with a splash of water :)

I've used this for around a year now, I've tried a few other in between but they have all been rubbish compared to this! (reviews to come)...

 It costs 15 quid which is not too bad in my opinion and it does do a good job so its justified :) , this is definately my HD mascara!
