Hello Lovelies!

So last month I got my first ever box from latest in beauty and when I saw the September one I just had to get it. There are 7 beauty products for just £15.99 that would normally cost you £83.47 plus you get free delivery so that's an extra bonus!

There are always items that draw you closer into buying something like this, for me it was a few of the products that are inside; The Bourjois volume 1 second mascara, Liz earle hot cloth cleanser and of course the Laura Mercier foundation primer. These three are products I have been wanting to purchase for a while but never really got around to it. So when I saw them in this box I didn't think twice before ordering.

What you get:

 Eyeko eye makeup remover wipes. 

Philip Kingsley daily damage defence spray.

Laura Mercier foundation primer.

James Read sleep mask tan.

Bourjois volume 1 second mascara.

Maybelline stripped nudes lipstick.

If you are thinking about ordering this box I would highly recommend getting it, the value for money is incredible! I can't wait to see what the next box is already. 

Big thhumbs up latest in glamour!!

Collection 2000 Work The Colour Lip Butter Review & Swatch.

As a lover of  lip crayons when I saw colletion 2000 had come out with 4 new "work the color lip butters" for just £2.99 each I just had to give them a try, I decided to get all 4 shades because I loved the look of each one. 

Popping Pink, Cappuccino, Vintage Rose And Perfect Plum. 

I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I swatched these little beasts on my hand. They are absolutely gorgeous! I love how these feel super moisturising on the lips and the colour pay off is great, I would pick these rather than the high end "chubby sticks" any day. They last on the lips for a couple of hours before the colour fades, I'm always re applying my lip products anyway so I don't really tend to mind. Although there are only 4 colours at the moment I think they have chosen the right ones to suit most skin types.

Overall I would recommend trying these especially when the price is so affordable. 

What is your favourite shade?

Clarins Cleansing Duo Review

Hey lovely people! 

After recently having a facial whilst at a spa I decided I needed to buy myself some luxurious face products to help with my problem skin. I knew that I needed to stop using wipes to remove my make-up as I found I was waking up to find more spots had appeared on my face. I decided to buy the clarins cleansing duo for combination or oily skin. It was £12.70 from a website called allbeauty here. You get a cleansing milk and toning lotion, both bottles are 100ml which is a great size if your trying out a product for the first time or even better for travelling. 

These both smell amazing, definitely spa like products that leave your skin feeling so soft and silky smooth. I apply the cleansing milk with my fingers all over my face, wipe off with cotton sheets, wash my face with warm water, apply the toning lotion and leave to dry. I have found since using these I don't get as many breakouts as before when I just used to use a few make-up wipes and think it was all off, boy was I so wrong! 

What's your favourite make-up remover?

Illamasqua Sale Haul

Hello lovely people!

 I had an email from Illmasqua saying they had a sale so I couldn't help but look and buy just a couple of items, well it would be rude not too right? 

I decided to get the intense lip gloss in shade Frenzy for £5.00 instead of £16.50 and a pure pigment pot in shade zeitgeist for £7.50 instead of £16.50. The postage was free and in total I saved £20.50 

I only have a lipstick from Illamasqua so wanted to try a few more bits but didn't want to spend too much just in case I didn't like them but I'm happy to say I absolutely love these two products! 

I really like how the packaging is slim unlike some other brands tend to be very bulky with hardly any product inside. This makes them easy to store...plenty of room for more! and also light to carry around in your everyday make up bag.

I seriously can't believe how amazing this lip gloss is, the pigment is absolutely incredible and just looks gorgeous. It's velvety smooth and so creamy on the lips. I find that the gloss tends to fade but the colour stays around for around 3 to 4 hours before I then need to pop on some more, however this isn't a problem for me as I tend to always re apply even when its not needed with any lip gloss or lipstick. 

Pure Pigment - Top with primer, Bottom without.

I used this pigment to create a black smoky eye and I loved the end result. There are tiny fine bits of silver glitter among the black that give the most beautiful 'My eyes look great and I know it' look. I used a damp brush to apply this to my eyes as I found that when the brush was dry I wasn't picking up a lot of product plus it helps reduce fall out. I found that using a primer helps the product stay for longer and didn't crease at all, there is nothing worse than realising your eye shadow has creased whist on a night out...anyone else agree? 

Did you purchase anything from the Illamasqua sale?

DIORSKIN NUDE Tan Matte Transat Edition - Summer Look

My MAC highlighter had hit pan so I was in need for something new although I loved the one I had been using I wanted to try something new. I was in my local Debenhams and swatched the Diorskin nude tan transat edition and WOW I needed to get it! So I had my money ready to buy one and the lady said they didn't have any left.. as you can imagine I was absolutley gutted, so off I went to every single store that sold DIOR and I got the same answer in every single shop. This made me want this product even more! I got home and searched online and yes, I found it on FeelUnique Yippee! 

RRP £40 but then they had a £5.00 off when you spend a certain amount so I got it for £35.00

First of all the packaging for this product is beautiful, It comes with a little brush for application and a dust bag. I don't use the brush as it is dense and as the powder it's self is rather intense I think I would end up looking like a glitter ball so I use my real techniques contour brush to apply.

Swatch below is one swipe across the hand.

This gives off the most stunning highlight to the face. I have a pale complexion and I love the way it looks on me. I think this would look just as beautiful on darker skin. This isn't a product that I would use every day but that's only because of the price it's more of a special occasion face product. 

I'm so happy to finally have this in my make-up collection and would defiantly recommend this stunning product to you all! If you are like me and couldn't get hold of this in any shop then head over to feelunique but be fast!

MILANI Color Statement Lipstick Swatches.

Milani Lipstick Collection 

So I have been very lucky to be able to get hold of some MILANI color statement lipsticks.

 I got some sent over from USA during a box swap and also a friend of mine went to America and got me some more as I loved the ones I had so much already so yep, I wanted more! 

I have 7 in total and absolutely love each shade I own. The formula is very creamy and the pigmentation is incredible! You get full colour coverage that lasts for 4 to 5 hours, during this time I do tend to put a clear gloss over the top as I find my lips can feel a little dry.

I love the packaging of these lipsticks they look much more like a high end product. I would never of thought they would cost just over $5 each, such a bargain.

 12 (Flamingo Pose) 14 (Rose Hip) 15 (Hot Pink Rage)

17 (Plumrose) 19 (Raspberry Rush) 33 (Rose Amour) 34 (Violet Volt)

Without flash

12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 33, 34.

With Flash

Overall I love these Milani lipsticks & recommend giving one a try if you can get hold of them. 

What's your favourite shade?

NEW The Glamour Beauty Edit July

Latest In Beauty Glamour Edit Box. 

So I know a lot of you probably already have this beauty box but I am so excited I just had to write about it! I have never had a beauty box before because I have never really thought they are worth the money but boy was I wrong! The Latest in beauty boxes cost either £14.95 or £16.95 with free delivery. This one was £16.95 but it has the total value of £86.15 I know...crazy right!!? 

The box it's self is very girlie and looks cute as well as being jam packed full of amazing products! It's also a great size to use for storing make-up items in, I think Ill use this for some of my favourite lipsticks or lip balms so they are all in one place. 

So inside the box you get 9 different products of what only 2 of are smaller sizes where as the rest I belive are normal sized. 

1. Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan BB Skin Perfector 125ml £6.99 
2. Velvotan The Original Tanning Mitt £2.99 
3. Bourjois Cream Blusher Shade 3 £7.99
4. Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquer shade 'petal pink' 15ml £6.00
5. DHC Deep cleansing Oil 30ml £4.50
6. Toni & Guy Volume Plumping Whip 90ml £7.19
7. Hawaiian Tropic Satin Protection Ultra Radiance Sun Lotion 100ml SPF30 £6.49
8. Magnifibres Brush-On False Lashes £18.95
9. Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick shade 'tease' £18.50

I'm so excited to try all of these, as you can see its fantastic value for money considering two of the items are both worth more than the price you pay for the whole package it's self. I am looking forward to using the Illmasqua Lipstick the most as I don't own one yet and it's from the new collection 'Glamore Nudes' 

Will you be purchasing one of these boxes?
