LORAC Tantalizer Baked Bronzer Review/Swatch



I have recently done a box swap with a friend from America and in the bundle of goodies she got for me there was a few items by LORAC - a brand I have never used before due to it not being in the UK but have seen a lot of LORAC products on Instagram or peoples blogs. When I saw this Tantalizer I instantly swatched it onto my hand and was amazed at how gorgeous it was. I have been using it for 4 days and just love how pretty it looks on my cheeks. It's a bright copper shade with swirls of light gold running through and a lot of shimmer. 
It almost reminds me a little of MAC soft and gentle but better!





 As you can see this product is just beautiful, If you can get your hands on one of these I would highly recommend getting yourself one as you wont be dissapointed.

Zoella Beauty Haul


So I'm sure you all watch zoella (Zoe Sugg) on YouTube and know she has just launched her own products. 
I for one was so excited to see what sort of things she was bringing out. I thought it would be makeup but it's bath and body products along with a couple of makeup bags and a candle. 

I really wanted to get my hands on a couple of things but wanted to find them in store first to see if I liked the smell as there is nothing worse that buying something online and then don't like it. I went to the superdrug in Norwich and was searching for ages and finally saw them...yes it was right in front of me and I walked past it probably about 2 times before I noticed them. 



I decided to get 4 of the products and In total I spent £26.00 but I definitely think it was all worth the money. I personally thought the products would cost more than what they are so that's always a nice surprise.

I decided to get;
 Fizz Bar £5
Blissful Mistful Body Spray £8
Guinea Pig Makeup Bag £8
Soak Opera Bath Soak/Shower Gel £5

My favourite thing is the Blissful Mistful spray, the scent reminds me of Chance by Chanel but much more affordable. It is also a great size to pop into your handbag for when you want to top up during the day. The packaging is cute and looks so pretty on my dressing table.
All of the products smell similar they are very girlie scents, sweet but not too overpowering.
Overall I am happy with the bits I bought and will definalely be repurchasing items when they run out.

You can purchase her products here

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!
