Nuxe LipBalm Review

Monday, 9 June 2014

Nuxe has always been a brand i have noticed that is featured in many YouTube videos & blog reviews. I didn't think twice about ever owning something from Nuxe because they surely look too expensive for my beauty collection.


How wrong was i!

I couldn't believe they11 were actually reasonably priced from just looking at them so i placed an order online and awaited the arrival.

The whole of the packaging with the way its presented in a frosted glass jar got me super exited before i even tried the product. It just screams luxury. 

It gets better...

 Being a lover of all things citurs'y in scent, this balm has a sweet orange, grapefruit aura and the thickest most dense texture i've ever tried or experienced. The formulation isn't greasy so won't slip or slide around the lips. To be exact this rich balm is moisturising from the get go, allowing to to feel the benefits instantly.


I use especially to inject much needed moisture back into my lips as an overnight treatment purely because the tiniest bit will last giving my lips a much needed pamper for colour application the next day, not only that though with the product being so thick i've found it lasts until the next morning which is amazing to still have a hydrated pout to face the day with.

I honestly can't praise this balm enough with my low expectations. For the price of £9.50 mixed in with ht fact it works a treat.

Asda Fashion | Game On S/S14 Collections

Sunday, 8 June 2014


Now having never really shopped at Asda it's crazy what I've missed out on.

Every now and then my Sundays are spent taking mum & my Nana round Asda to stock up on some essentials well not so much needed essentials its a lets see what we find kinda shopping trip. 
So after multiple visits i caved buying bits from their clothing range, not to forget the yummy raspberry + white chocolate muffins which are delicious by the way with a pot of tea after a hard days work. (It's the little things... bliss!)

Now all that rambles out of the way i'm writing this post just to highlight supermarket fashion & homeware have stepped up its game in recent years. I remember when wearing clothes not from new look or the likes was totally not cool, isn't that sad, how times change.



 


Collections for S/S14 are all the rage so these are a few pieces I've picked up for when summer decides to turn up, not forgetting my latest must have's to look out for!


P.S Is it just me but don't you feel less guilty putting a cardy in your basket with your strawberry's?

The Body Shop Camomile Eye Make Up Remover Review

Thursday, 8 May 2014

Removing makeup is my top priority once getting home from a busy day, although i don't always wear a full-face of foundation, oil on my skin is something i certainly need to remove by gently cleansing to get rid of build up from pores.

Now, removing mascara is a whole other ball game don't you just hate it when you have the stubborn black line along the edge of your lash line that just doesn't budge.


Even after trying many lotions & potions there's been small things about them that have irritated the
eye area, left oily residue or not work at all.

I was using before Garnier's 2 in 1 makeup remover for face & eyes, i swore by this as it works a treat with only a tiny bit of product left behind after a few 'rubbing' motions. Couldn't ask for more really.

Then came into my routine The Body Shop Camomile Eye & Lip Remover. Looking at this in the store noticing the price tag of £8.00 i didn't even take a second glace because i certainly wasn't buying yet another liquid to use on my eye's.

This particular product helps remove even tough waterproof make-up and literally leaves no residue on the face whatsoever it pretty much dissolves mascara in an instant with a couple of strokes using just one cotton pad on each eye JUST ONE! 


With Camomile soothing properties suitable for sensitive eyes, this eye make-up remover is now a holy grail. Shake the bottle mixing the product together and your good to go with it removing all traces of make-up in seconds.


Benefit Bella Bamba Blush Review & Swatches

Tuesday, 6 May 2014

Seeing Benefit and all its new products hitting the shelves in the past few months for me its about time i needed to get my hands on another full size something they had to offer.

Ive been in love with the Hervana Blush ever since i saw it for the past 2 years now. 
Its still not mine however with the hologram packaging housing a gorgeous rose shimmering shade of pink how could i not resist?

That is of course the Bella Bamba Benefit Blush.


 Having not really seen any reviews particularly about this shade or even looked for some i was a little skeptical & not sure what to expect.

Once trying it...

The shade colour is a muted watermelon pale rose pink with millions of iridescent glistening particles.
This what gives you the '3D pink' due to the mixture of pink shade along with the sparkles.

Just the way it feels is amazing never mind how it looks although i think it needs a mention too.

Its has a super soft texture which seems to melt into the skin looking stunning.


For days when I'm wanting a less done up look i don't gravitate towards this as much purely because the shimmer is intense.
(not always for me.)

One thing i do love about this is its perfect for the summer with the 3D effect it gives it does look beautiful defining your cheeks to a T & after 7 hours of wearing the Bella Bamba Blush there was actually product still on my cheeks at the end of the day when I've come to remove my face crazy right!?


Last of all the scent, not only are benefit products desirable enough it smells surprisingly delicious too.
(think freshly washed conditioned hair with that sweet berry scent you catch when swishing your hair.) 

For the price i paid compared to 'highstreet' bought blushes there is really no competition you DO get what you pay for that is complete amazingness.

Bella Bamba Benefit Blush 8.0g for £23.50
