MAC BLUSH. DOLLY MIX. REVIEW. SWATCH.

MAC Blush - Dolly Mix.

Hello lovely people!
As a massive fan of MAC products I didn't own one of their blushers. Well until now anyway.
I ordered it online so I didn't really know what the shade looked like in the pan but I thought the name was cute "Dolly Mix"
It was £18.00 here


The packaging is small and easy to store. I really like how when the lid is closed you can see what colour the blush is through the top because its see-through BUT I do prefer blusher and bronzer's to have a mirror on the inside for top ups throughout the day.... however this blusher stays around all day and I find I don't need to reapply this even after 8 hours, I can now see why they didn't put a mirror on the inside of this product, it's simply not needed.



 (Sorry the swatch is not so great)


I am so glad I decided to get dolly mix, it's a beautiful hot pink and very pigmented. It does look a little scary in the pan but it's a lovely shade that is a must have for summer time.
There isn't a lot of shimmer in this blush so it looks very natural when applied as long as you don't go putting too much product on that brush! I have very fair skin & it suits me well. Definitely my new go to blusher! 


Do you have any MAC blushers?

Mavala Double Lash. Before & After. Review.

Mavala Double Lash.

Okay so I debated about buying this product "will it work? will I remember to put it on? maybe ill just get extensions instead". I thought £11.00 was a better price than paying for fake eyelashes.. so I finally caved in.
It claims to strengthen, lengthen and thicken up your lashes.
You apply the product at night time to clean dry eyelashes & allow to take affect while your sleeping!



I have never had short eyelashes but I wanted to see if this product would help thicken up my eyelashes. I have been using this for around 30+ nights and I really have noticed some changes! 



It's a little glass bottle 10ml £11.00 here
The brush & handle is small but not hard to work with. 

Not only are my eyelashes thicker & stronger but they are alot softer than what they used to be, I find it easier to apply my mascara in the mornings now too (not sure why) I don't need half as much mascara on my lashes as what I used to. 



I did have a before picture but I have had some issues with my phone where it decides to delete pictures for me..brilliant. 






2 weeks into using double lash.                      30 days into using double lash.


You might be sitting there thinking... "I can't see a difference"

But I can see and feel the difference and noticed a change after about a week of using this product. I will keep using the Mavala double lash. It's all natural ingredients and it doesn't have any smell to it so that's always a good thing.


I hope this has helped anyone who has been interested in Mavala double lash. I really do recommend giving it a try. It might sound like a lot of money for something your not sure will work but from my pictures I hope you see that it really does work! 


Thanks for reading!

Rimmel London. Stay Matte Primer. Review

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer Review.

So Rimmel london have recently come out with this stay matte primer, as well as a stay matte foundation (that I have not tried...yet) 
I decided to pick up the primer as I'm always up for trying out new products to stop shine and minimize my pores. 


30ml for £5.99 here... bargain right? 




The consistency of the product is thick but easy to work with, I find when I use this my make up just glides on easily and makes my skin feel ultra soft. It doesn't make your face feel greasy at all. I really do find this helps mattify my skin and doesn't become oily during the day as much as what it used too with another primer I used to use.


I wouldn't say it minimized my pores as much as what some other primers have done but I find that with some primers that totally get rid of your pores end up giving me spots..naaasty! So although I can still see my pores a little it's no bother because I haven't got any spots from this primer! 

I use this underneath my foundation (MAC studio fix fluid) and set my foundation with the Rimmel Stay Matte powder (here) and I honestly love the way it makes my skin look and feel.

I would defiantly recommend this primer to everybody, even if you have your favourite one already.. give it a try and I'm sure you will love it! 




Thanks for reading!

Top 5 Soap & Glory Products

Soap And Glory Top 5 Favourites.

I love soap and glory and thought I would let you know my Top 5 favourite products. Even though I love every single product I have tried by Soap and Glory.. everyone has their favourites right? 


I can't really remember when I first started using Soap & Glory but Since I did I have not stopped. They are so inexpensive especially for the amount you get in a tub, bottle or tube. 
They are on offer at boots quite a lot, usually on a 3 for 2 offer which is a total bargain.


Sugar Crush Body Wash 500ml. £6.50 from Boots here.

I can't get enough of this body wash, It's perfect for the spring and summer time because of the citrus lemon and lime scent.
It foams up almost instantly with the smallest amount on your hands. 
This makes you feel so fresh and awake in the mornings I really recommend this body wash to you & it lasts for months as only a little is needed each time.
The smell really reminds me of a luxurious cake or tart (scrummy)

The Righteous Butter 300ml from Boots.
Cant seem to find this on the boots website :/ 

This Body Butter is super moisturising and smells very fresh, I like to use this every day when I get out of the shower.. if I have time.
I find it doesn't make my clothes stick to my skin even if I get dressed straight away.
It has shea butter and aloe vera in it so this can be used on sunburn, I used it last summer on my sun burn and it really did cool my skin down.
This is such a nice product and I like how it's in a tub so you can just slap on how much/little you want. 


Heel Genius 125ml £5.50 from Boots here

I tend to forget about my feet when it comes to looking after my skin, well that was unti I found this little beauty! I put this on at night time before I go to bed about 4 times a week and my feet are softer than they have ever been.
I love this stuff and you don't need much .. a little of this goes a long way.

- A little tip is to put some socks on after applying this to avoid the product rubbing off whilst your sleeping. 


Hand Food 125ml £5.00 from Boots here

I suffer so bad in the winter from dry hands & after trying out so many different hand creams that didn't work I thought that there was nothing else out there that could help me. 
I found this in my local Boots and thought I would give it a go. 
I was a little worried because it's scented and I thought "that's gunna sting" 
but it doesn't!
It really does moisturise my hands like no other, I no longer have to worry about searching for something that really works. I love how its super silky but doesn't feel greasy. 
Amazing product! 5* PLUS :) 


Soap and Glory Original Pink Eau De Parfum* 50ml £16.50 from Boots here

This perfume smells like the righteous butter, It's so fresh and lasts hours. 
I'm defiantly a lover of girlie sweet scents and this doesn't disappoint. 
I love the cute bottle shape and the little ribbon clasp instead of a lid, looks so pretty with all of my other perfumes on the bed side table.
