Anna Sui Eyeshadow & Lip Colour Palettes ♥

  

Eyeshadow & Lip Colour Palette - RRP £28 (currently both £14) - Escentual*

I was recently sent these pretty palettes from Emma at Escentual. They have both got such beautiful packaging and a gorgeous range of highly pigmented colours.
The eye palette is so versatile, it can be used to create a soft natural look or a smoky, night out look. All of these bold shades are full of colour and are very pigmented.

Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face Balm ♥

Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face Balm 125ml - £20 

I recently got this face balm in this months Marie Claire magazine, I thought I would share my opinions on it as I love Balance Me products and this one is just as good as all the others I have tried. The first thing I noticed about this balm is the amazing fragrance it has, it has a fresh citrus/floral smell to it and I can't get enough of it! I have been using the same facial cleansers for the past few months as my skin took a horrible "u" turn and had a breakout of really sore spots due to trying out new products, so this was the first cleanser I have tried in over a month. I can safely say it has not broke out my skin and it has actually helped improve my skins appearance.

The texture and the way this product glides onto my skin so effortlessly reminds me of the Emma Harde amazing face cleansing balm, however, this one has very small oatmeal powder grains in it which softly exfoliate and polish my skin. I gently massage this cleanser all over my face, leave it for a couple of minutes to do its work, then wet my face with warm water and remove the product with a muslin cloth, I then pat my face dry. After using this product my skin looks bright & clear and feels fresh and clean, I will definitely be purchasing a full size product once this 40ml bottle runs out! 

Bourjois Dark Khol Mascara Review ♥

Bourjois Dark Khol Mascara - £7.99 Superdrug

Heeeeey! I hope you're having a good week, I have loads to get done at the moment and my room is a complete tip and I need to take blog pictures... so stressed! I thought you would like to read about this lovely mascara I have been using recently, let me know what you think. 

I absolutely love the applicator brush, it is such a unique, interesting shape. The spiked end is great for applying mascara onto my bottom eyelashes, it doesn't make them clumpy or stuck together! The hourglass shaped head is great for applying lots of mascara on my top eyelashes but also separating each individual lash. 

The formula in this mascara is great, it allows my eyelashes to flex, so they don't feel so solid and don't look fake. It is a very dark black colour which makes my eyelashes stand out even more. It doesn't break up through the day and fall onto my face either which is good. I don't know if it is just my bottle of mascara or what but to me the product itself smells of pollen? (I have really bad hayfever so don't worry it doesn't actually include pollen or I wouldn't be able to use it!) but it smells like it! If anyone else has noticed this please let me know in the comments so I don't seem so crazy! haha. Overall I love this mascara, so if you are looking for a new one then I recommend you try this out! 

April Favourites

Hello everyone (:

I hope you have all had a good week so far, I have had a couple days off so I thought it would be a perfect time to catch up on some YouTube videos and write a couple blog posts, so here is my April Favourites!

I have a Superdrug haul coming up soon which includes a few of these products, so keep your eyes peeled for that! 

Cath Kidston Hand Cream: I have written about this hand cream here if you want to know more about it, I absolutely love it, I can definitely say it is my favourite hand cream, my hands have been pretty dry recently and this has been brilliant!

Tresemme Platinum Strength: I haven't had my hair cut in about a year now as I am growing it, so I was feeling like it needed a bit of a lift. I seen this new Tresemme shampoo and conditioner featured on Superdrug's website and then I realised it was 3 for £10 on selected products in this new range, so quickly added them to my basket, my hair definitely looks and feels softer after using this shampoo and conditioner.

MUA Undress Me Too palette: I have reviewed this palette here, it has been my go to palette for this month, I love all the colours and I can create so many different looks from it! The shimmer shadows are very very pigmented, the matt shadows aren't as vibrant but are buildable, I love it!

Rimmel 702 Marshmallow Heaven: I have been in quite a 'Spring' mood recently so I am loving pastel colours, this polish is very fast drying and long wearing which I can't seem to find in a few of my Essie polishes, which is annoying because I love their pastel colours!:(

Estee Lauder Trio: I have had this trio for quite a while now and as you can see I have hit pan on the bronzer, but I have been mixing the middle colour with what is left of the brown and it has been making a lovely shade for my cheeks.

Witch Anti Blemish Primer: This primer is amazing! I will definitely be reviewing it, it brightens up your face and definitely clears up any marks from spots and I haven't had a breakout since using it.

Cosmopolitan Beauty Blender: Finally, I bought the cheaper alternative to the much raved about Beauty Blender, I have to say I am amazed at how good it is! When I apply my foundation, it looks airbrushed and even all over my face, I cannot praise this sponge enough!

What are your favourites this month?:)
