MAC Lustre Lipstick Haul - A Fantasy Of Flowers

Hello beauties! 

 I bought two new MAC lipsticks a few months ago from the Fantasy Of Flowers Collection Spring 2014 and have been really enjoying using them so I thought Id tell you what I got! 

Left - Snapdragon Right - Rose Lily 

I'm not usually one for nude or pale shades for the lips but I wanted to try something different and very glad I got these two!

They are both such gorgeous colours as you can see from the photo above but even better when applied to the lips.

(Natural lighting) Top- Snapdragon Bottom - Rose Lily

SnapDragon - Is a beautiful blue toned pinky/purple with a hint of shimmer.

Rose Lily - Is a pale pastel pink with a sheen finish.

These give off a lovely shine with a hint of colour, they are sheer so a couple of swipes is enough for me but if you like a bold lip then you would need to apply a few times before you achieve the look you desire. The texture is smooth and super creamy, I don't even remember that I have lipstick on when I wear these it just feels so light and moisturising. I find I need to re apply after about 3 maybe 4 hours and that's with drinking and eating in-between. Fantastic colours for spring and summer! Perfect two new additions to my growing MAC lipstick collection :)

Botanics Shine Away Mattifying Cleansing Mousse Review.

So last week I ran out of my facial wash and nipped to boots and decided to try out Botanics  as I  have never used any products by them before and have seen some blog posts about various products they sell. 

Its only £3.99 here for 150ml 

I have been using this now for about 6-7 days and I actually really like it. 

The formula is a thick bubbly foam that is easy to apply all over the face and wash away with warm water. I find this leaves my skin so soft with no tightness and really does get rid of the excess oil on your face. I use this every morning in the shower and I now don't have to use my blotting papers during the day as much as I used too.

The bark of the willow tree is a natural source of salicylic acid which helps to refine skin texture and actively target imperfections.

Our beauty scientists use active plant extracts approved by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, to bring you beautiful skincare that's proven to work.

We've taken steps to reduce our impact on the planet at every stage in this product's journey.

• Formulated without parabens.

I wouldn't say it has helped with my spots but this could be because I need to be using it for longer, most facial washes and cleansers tend to take a while to help clear my imperfections, however If your like me and suffer from oily skin, especially in the hot summer months then I would definitely give this a try. It's cheap enough so if you don't enjoy using it then it's not a huge loss. I have sensitive skin and it hasn't irritated it at all. Just now have smooth oily free skin at last ..Yay!  

What botanics products would you recommend for me to try?

NUXE Reve De Miel Lip Balm Review

NUXE Reve De Miel Lip Balm Review.

Hello lovely's!

 I decided to buy the NUXE lip balm a few months ago now and have loved it since I first used it, I have always suffered from dry cracked lips all year round and was desperate to find something that really worked. It is a little expensive at £9.50 Here But I'm so glad that the price tag didn't put me off because I just love this product! 

You get 15g of product in a cute frosted glass jar. The balm is very thick and feels waxy but don't let that put you off because it feels so luxurious once applied. I tend to use this at night time before going to bed and in the morning after having a shower and it keeps my lips feeling super soft and smooth all day. It's also a good balm to apply before putting on lipstick.

It smells like fresh oranges and lemons which I love! 

Overall I would 100% recommend this lip balm, It's the best I have ever tried and I have tried a lot! The price is a little expensive but if you are like me and need something desperately to help with your sore cracked lips then its totally worth the money. It lasts for ages as you can see my tub is hardly touched and I have had it for months now because you only need a little amount. 

Have you tried the NUXE balm?
