Product Rave : Loreal Touche Magique Concealer

Hi ladies!

So, I just wanted to do a bit or a rave about one of my holy grail makeup items which I have been using for literally years! It is the loreal touche magique under eye concealear :-)


Sorry that the picture isn't great - I use this product every day and it lasts for a super long time so most of the writing has rubbed off! I adore this product and always repurchase it. I think I have used it for about three years now and I was introduced to it after watching a programme on telly (I think it might have been a Gok Wan programme!) where they asked 100 ladies to test this, touche eclat and some other under eye concealers and this one came out on top!

After applying my foundation I pop some of this under my eyes (It has a similar applicator to touche eclat - you twist the top then it has a brush applicator on the other end) then use either my finger or a stiff synthetic eyeshadow brush to gently blend the concealer under my eyes. This concealer blends really well and has a light, creamy consistancy. It definately leaves my eyes looking lighter, brighter and more awake!

If your're looking for a new under eye concealer or fancy trying something different I can highly recommend this one, I remember going on holiday once, forgetting it and buying a new one from boots at the airport! (I don't know what I would have done if boots hadn't had it!) It costs around £7.00 :-)

5/5 and a big thumbs up from me!

Hope you're all well, and thankyou everyone for the perfume recommendations - I have so many great ideas now!

Lipstick Rave : Rimmel Volume Booster in 102 - Foxy

Hi Ladies!

So I just wanted to rave about a gorgeous natural peachy pink lippie which I have been wearing non stop lately, and it is the rimmel volume booster lipstick in number 102 foxy.

This autumn, I really want to start using warmer colours on my lips (instead of my standard nude lip!), as my complexion becomes very pale as we head into these colder seasons! This lipstick gives me exactly what I want. It is a lovely wearable peachy pink, and whilst it gives me colour, it is not at all overpowering and looks incredibly natural.

I find this lipstick to be not at all drying, and it glides on easily. It gives a slightly glossy finish and has a lovely cool feel - I love it! It also plumps up your lips - what more could you want!

The volume booster lipsticks are a little harder to find and are often only on the bigger rimmel stands (I got mine from a large boots) but it is definately one worth seeking out! I think it costs just under £5.

Product Rave: Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Shampoo

Hi Ladies! So I'm finally back with a super massive product rave, and it is the schwarzkopf gliss hair repair shampoo. I saw this in my local pharmacy, and was attracted to it as it contains argan oil which seems to be the current hype for hair care. If you havn't heard about argan oil before it is a natural oil derived from the argan tree which is believed replenish and strengthen damaged hair. Although I no longer colour my hair, it is pretty long and breaks quite easily, with the colder weather on its way i have been looking for a nourishing hair repair shampoo so was really pleased to come across this! So here is the shampoo (my 2nd bottle!) pictured below:

I have never tried anything from the GLISS range before, however I can remember once reading that Rachel Stevens uses the GLISS shine tonic (and doesn't she have lovely hair!) so when I saw this on the shelf for £1.99 I definately thought it was worth a try!

It is described on the bottle as an anti split end shampoo which repairs inside the hair cell. The blub on the back says ''because the gliss cell repair system contains proteins that are identical to the hair itself , it is able to repair the hair from deep inside'' (sounds pretty good eh!)

After about two weeks of using this shampoo daily I have to say I am really impressed, I'm usually a bit of a snob when it comes to hair care and although I definately have my holy grail conditioner (tigi catwalk fashionista) I have never found a shampoo which quite matched up to it. This shampoo leaves my hair feeling soft and silky and tangle free, although I'm not sure whether I have fewer split ends I have definately noticed a difference in the strength of my hair - I have less breakage when I brush it, and my ends feel more nourished and a lot less dry!

I can definately recommend it for someone who would like to try a hair repair shampoo without a salon product budget - I'm defiantely going to give the conditioner a try too so i'll let you know how I get on with it!

Hope you're all well, have a fantastic weekend!

Product Rave : Superdrug eye make-up remover, camomile

Hi girlies! Earlier this week I was queueing up in superdrug (buying my 3rd collection 2000 hot looks nail varnish - I love them!) when I noticed a massive display of new products at the side of the tills. They were superdrugs own brand of cleanser, toner and eye makeup remover all for only £1.00! I decided to get the eye make-up remover, as I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing over getting the much raved about botanics eye make-up remover for while. Here is it pictured below:

As it only cost a quid, I wasn't really expecting much from this product - However it has completely surpasses my expectations! It contains camomile, which I already love (camomile tea anyone?) Is gentle on my eyes, refreshing and is really effective at removing almost all of the lashings of mascara I pile on every day. I am super super impressed!

Has anyone else seen these new products at their local superdrug?

Product Rave : ELF mineral eyeshadow in celebrity

Hi ladies! Last week I ordered a few things from elf (let me know if you'd like to see what else I got!), and the one product which has really stood out for me, and has even made its way into my handbag makeup bag (a highly prestigious award!) is the mineral eyeshadow in celebrity pictured below:

It is a lovely shimmery light golden brown, such a pretty pretty colour! I'm never really been drawn to mineral eyeshadows before, I find loose powder eye shadows really hard to get on with (I've never been able to get to grips with barry M dazzle dusts or mac pigments!) However i've found applying this shadow really easy. I usually take the shadow from the lid of the pot with my brush which stops me from getting too much. The only downside is that it definately needs an eye primer/base to stick too. I applied it to my mums lids with no base yesterday and the staying power was still good, but it was definately starting to fade a little after a few hours. To me, this shadow looks like a cousin of the MAC woodwinked/satin taupe/all that glitters family! I've been wearing it with all that glitters and it looks lovely!

I'm definately going to try some more mineral shadows so let me know if you have any to recommend!

Product Rave : Number 7 Smoothing and Brightening Eye Base

So, as I mentioned in a previous post, boots are doing their £5 off number 7 vouchers at the moment when you spend £5 or more in store (I'm not sure how much longer this is going on for!) and with one of my vouchers I picked up the number 7 stay perfect smoothing and brightening eye base. I think it normally costs about £7.50 so with my voucher I got it for £2.50 - Bargain! I had no idea number 7 did an eye base, I didn't used to like their products that much (i'm still not a fan of their eye shadows). However recently I have been pretty impressed with their liners, glosses and now this! Here is the eye base pictured below :

Initially I was a little dubious. the colour is a quite pinkish and I tend to prefer the more lemon coloured eye bases to even out any pink/red on my lids. However the base goes on a very light pearlescent pink which is actually very flattering! It is very creamy in consistancy, and blends easily. I have used this both to fix eye shadow (which it has done brilliantly - literally all day) and also to create a natural day to day look when I put this all over my lids then use an eye shadow brush (such as the MAC 213) to apply my MAC mineralise skinfinish natural to my lids asif it were a shadow. This is great for evening out the skintone on my lids and leaves me with that fab ''no makeup makeup look!"

I much prefer solid cream eye shadow bases and have never been able to get to grips with urban decays primer potion, or two faced shadow insurance. I can highly recommend this to anyone wanting to try an eye base for the first time, or just looking to try something new! its kindof tucked away within the number 7 counter so you may need to look quite hard for it!

Speak to you all soon!
