Benefit Velvet Eyeshadow-Like What You Sea?

Product Information: Benefit Velvet Eyeshadow in Like What You Sea?, a misty blue shade, glides on light as a feather for a fabulous finish that looks gorgeous on everyone! Use as a base shadow, for contouring or highlighting – the uses are endless! Glide Benefit Velvet Eyeshadow in Like What You Sea? on bare lids for a dose of sheer, velvety colour or layer over creaseless cream shadows for even richer colour.

Ah, highlighting? I’m not too sure about that as it has a blue undertone but it is a good product for eyes. It leaves a silver glitter finish. Suitable for night outs rather than days, £13.50 for 3g (lookfantastic.com) pricey huh? Getting them from E-bay might save you few quid.

Product Review: Lush Bubble Bar ‘The Comforter’

Product Review

Lush Bubble Bar ‘The Comforter’

Product Information: This fruity bubble bar gives the feeling of being hugged by a jolly blackcurrant. When life is getting you down, crumble. The Comforter under hot, running water for purple water and creamy bubbles. The warm aroma of cassis absolute is relaxing so relaxing that you'll go to bed feeling happier and the world will seem brighter the next day.

The bar was massive and smelt just like blackcurrants. I get about 2-3 baths out of it, it’s only £3.99 and well worth the money (LUSH). Crumbles well in the tub and the water turns pink and bubbly. Skin feels soft and the smell lingers after bath aswell. My experience can be summed up as ‘having a bath in a tub full of ribena’.

Product Review:PROACTIV® SOLUTION CORE SYSTEM

Product Review:

PROACTIV® SOLUTION CORE SYSTEM

Product Information: Be Proactiv 3-Step System to clear skin. Step 1 renewing cleanser gently exfoliates dead skin cells allowing salicylic acid to penetrate pores. Step 2 revitalising toner smoothes and softens skin with botanicals leaving your skin hydrated and rejuvenated. Step 3 repairing lotions hydrate skin while penetrating deep to the source of the blemish to help prevent new breakouts. 

I was really disappointed with this product, with celebrities like Kate Perry, Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan claiming that it did wonders to their skins I was really expecting it to work but again those celebrities are paid to advocate Proactiv. My honest view about Proactiv is, it dried my skin so much that occasionally I felt like I have a mask on my skin and found it hard to move my face in general. It burns, stings and dries not only acne/zits but your entire face. It’s a very harsh product and is not suitable for sensitive or dry skin. And its bloody expensive £39.90 for ‘Proactiv 4-Piece Core System’ and ‘Proactiv Luxury Skincare Set’ is £59.90 with an added postage cost of £5.95. This product is suitable for serious acne problems/all over the face/oily face. Make sure to check that you are not committing to a membership and it’s only a one off purchase while buying online, the best way to make sure is to get it over the phone. Well, that’s what I did. After paying a fortune on Proactiv and refusing to let it dry out in my drawer. I found a way to cause minimum harm (excess drying) to my skin as possible and that is by using a cotton bud (Q-Tip) on individual acne/zits and its helping but it will take a rather long while to finish this product. Buying again? NEVER

Product Review: MAC LIPGLASS (OH BABY & EXPLICIT)

Product Review:

MAC LIPGLASS

Product Information: A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.

MAC LIPGLASS: OH BABY AC4

I love the colour; it has rusty golden sparkles (glitters) to it. It really works well over any lipstick (I prefer nude lipstick underneath, to glam up!). It is pigmented and glitzy so it works fine without any lipstick underneath as well. Price: £12.50 (MAC)

MAC LIPGLASS: EXPLICIT AB6

A tone lighter than ‘oh baby’ the only difference is the silver sparkles instead of golden.

Product Review: MAC PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER

Product Review:

MAC PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER

Product Information: 

A lightweight fluid concealer that provides medium to full coverage with a comfortable, natural matte finish. Colour-true formula lasts up to 15 hours.  Helps conceal and correct the look of under-eye circles, and discolorations. Comes in a clear glass vial with a matte black pump.  

The MAC Pro longwear concealer is brilliant for concealing dark circles and spots. It is easy to work with as it is liquid based. Primer is a must while using this product as the product did dry out my skin and left dry patches around the spots. I apply additional moisturizer around those areas to get rid of any odd dry patches. It does not last 15 hours on my skin as it claims. Overall, a good value for money £13.50 (MAC), 9ML lasts a long way.
