Product Review - NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Colour

 



Everytime I go to buy one of these products, theyre always on sale, which is why I love Superdrug. They must see me coming! I love these products. I honestly don't have a bad word to say about them, I will say though that their lasting power isn't the best but not the worse, which I don't mind because it doesn't bother me having to reapply, it's no hassel. 
I love the fact that for the price, which is at most, £2.99, but on sale they're only £1.99, they're really good. They smell lovely, kind of like vanilla or something like that, the texture is really smooth and goes on really evenly and the pigmentation is wonderful. 
The three shades I have are: 031 Gramercy Park Plum. 030 Metropolitan Mauve. 010 Nolita Neutral
So for only a few pound each, they're fabulous, I intend to buy a lot more of these, especially coming into winter :)

Vaseline Essential Moisture



This is my go to moisturiser everytime I get washed, or even if my skin's just feeling a bit dry or looking a bit dull. It is really moisturising and leaves my skin feeling soft for quite a few days and it also smells amazing! I cannot stress enough, how good this smells. I love anything that has cocoa and this is no different, granted the smell doesn't last as long on my skin, but I don't really mind that as I like to wear body sprays and perfume and what not.
The one I have is actually the mini sized version, it's 200ml, there is a bigger bottle but I'm not sure how many ml's it is, and there is also the spray version. I picked the smaller one up as it was on sale in Tescos, plus I don't trust the spray version, I don't understand how a spray on moisturiser, can actually moisturise your skin, I need something more concrete like a liquid moisturiser. 

Overall, I love this product, it does what is says on the tin so to speak, it smells devine and it's a bargain

Product Review - Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer



I love the brand Bourjois, I love their foundations, primers, bronzers and lipsticks, but I've never tried any of their concealers and as I've heard good things about the foundation version of this concealer, I thought I'd try it. 
I'm on the fence, there are things I like and things I dislike, nothing too major to be fair but still. 

What I like...
I like the packaging of the product, I love the red, granted there is a lot of writing on the packaging but yet it doesn't look crowded or a mess. 
I like the consistency of it. At first it looks rather thick, but once you start to blend it in it goes on really smooth, it's not cakey at all and it very easy to blend. 
I like the fact that it hid my blemishes well and it didn't take much product to do so. 

What I dislike...
I don't like the smell. I know it has the whole fruit therapy thing going on, but it smelt like artifical fruit so it wasn't very nice at all.
As I said before, it hid my blemishes well, but it didn't hide the redness. The redness still shone through the concealer which I didn't like. It hid my spots, but not the redness... weird.
It's not good as an under eye concealer, as it is a bit thick, I noticed it really clung to the small lines around my eyes especially when I smiled it was very noticable.
I also dislike the applicatior, it does get quite messy - I would've preferred if it had a brush or sponge tip applicator to make the process easier and less messy.

Overall I do like this product, but I don't know whether I would purchase it again.

Product Review - Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer



This is my holy grail product. I love it, not only is it great at concealing my under eye circles, it's great at illuminating the area and highlighting it. Unlike the Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch concealer, this makes my under eye area and any other area which I use it, such as my nose and cupids bow, a shade lighter than my foundation which I love! That is what I would expect from a highlighting concealer, and this one does it wonderfully, my favourite concealer for this by far!

Do you recommend  any concealers that are great at highlighting that I should try out?

Product Review - Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick


Initially my sister was the one to introduce me to this particular lip product. I've never tried any of the Bourjois lipsticks before but when she told me how fab it was I had to try it for myself.
I do not have a bath thing to say about this product. 
I love the pigmentation and colour of it, it's a really natural slightly nude, muave/pink shade, so it's perfect for everyday, and one swipe is all you need to get wonderful pigmentation of colour.
It lasts for a reasonably long time, I wore it all day yesterday and only had to reapply once and that was it so that's awesome, a lot of my other lipsticks tend to wear off quite easily especially if I'm eating or drinking etc. but this one didn't.
The texture is really smooth and it's very moisturising which I love, as my lips are always dry it doesn't accentuate it or make it worse, it makes my lips look full and juicy :)

Overall, it's a really great product and is definately worth the money. I'll be purchasing more of these lipsticks in the near future for sure

My Perfume Collection



 



Altogether I have 15 perfumes, which doesn't sound like that much to be fair, I want more! Lol I love celebrity perfumes, but I also love random ones, and high end branded ones. 
My favourtie scent is anything sweet, though that's not to say I won't wear something different, as long as I like it, whatever it is, I'll wear it. 

My Perfumes
1. Sex and the City - Love
2. Sex and the City - Midnight
3. The Mortal Instruments - Angelic Power
4. Lady Gaga - Fame
5. Bond Girl 007
6. Katy Perry - Purr
7. Paco Roban - Black XS
8. Katy Perry - Killer Queen
9. Britney Spears - Hiden Fantasy
10. Benefit - So Hooked on Carmella
11. Paul Smith - Floral
12. So?.. Kiss Me
13. Kate Moss - Summer Blossoms
14. Britney Spears - Curious
15. Britney Spears - Fantasy Twist


My Favourites would have to be... Benefit's So Hooked on Carmella, Black XS, Britney Spears Fantasy Twist, Katy Perry Killer Queen and Paul Smith's Floral. The majority of these are quite sweet scents which I love except for Paul Smith's, as the name suggests it is quite floral and perfect for summer and It has been my statement fragrance throughout the summer.
