Benefit Benetint Lip Balm


You may be thinking "why are you going to do a review on a £14 lip balm”, you even may be thinking "what in the name of all that is pure in this forsaken universe possessed you to buy this".  Well my friends I don't know why I bought this but I am sure glad I did!  Keep reading if you want to know more about this awesomely awesome lip balm.....


What they say....
Why we love it:
A rose-tinted lip balm with SPF 15 created from our legendary benetint. The translucent shade perks up your lip colour for a perfect smooth, shiny, rose-coloured finish.
What else you need to know:
This irresistible blend of Vitamin E, sunscreen, and light rose-petal fragrance protects and delicately tints lips.

Suitable for any lip colour.


Packaging....
The tub itself is absolutely TINY, but it is also adorable at the same time and it is made of glass (?) which gives it a nice sturdy feel.  I suggest you use a lip brush as it does get difficult to get the product near the end if you have long talons and you also won't waste any of the product.


The lip balm........
I wear this all the time but sparingly (I’ll probably never get over the fact that I spent £14 on a LIP BALM) and it gives your lips a nice red, healthy look when you feel a bit rundown or want your makeup to look really natural or if natural isn't your thing load it on your lips for a snow white's rosebud lips look.  Plus it has SPF 15 and that can only be a good thing :)

Maybelline dream mousse blush


Hello lovlies today i'll be reviewing Maybelline dream mousse blush



What they say...........

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• Air-whipped mousse blush feels satin-soft on skin, glides on smoothly, and blends easily for seamless color and a natural finish• Long-wearing formula provides luminous, long-lasting color on cheeks without clogging poresFOR BEST RESULTSWith your fingertips, pat a small amount of blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Use feathery strokes to blend gently from your cheekbones to your temples. To build color intensity, apply more blush.AWARDSTeen Vogue Reader's Choice Awards, 2007



What  i think...................

Maybelline could not be more right with their description!  It is very airy and light and doesn't feel like you’re wearing blush at all.  It is also insanely blendable so if you put too much on just blend, blend, blend!  But i do disagree with using your fingertips as you may get an uneven finish so i use my ecotools blush brush

TGIF - Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation


Sorry there was bad weather :(

Hi girls! Today I’ll be reviewing Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (£10.99) i have the shade 57 - Hâlé

What they say.....
70% MORE RADIANCE AND FLAWLESS COMPLEXION FOR UP TO 16 HOURS!
Bourjois' 1st radiance-boosting fruit therapy foundation for a flawless complexion for up to 16hrs!
Apricot > radiance
Melon > hydration
Apple > antioxidant
Ginger > energy
Its exquisite glide-on formula blends onto the skin for a flawless, yet natural finish.

And... It’s good for my skin:
· 8 hrs. moisture
· Lets skin breathe 
· Dermatologically tested

(Taken from their website)

Packaging......

It’s got a pump yay for hygiene!  All the information is sticker-ed on.  The tube is clear and the pump is black so you can see how much product you have left.

The foundation..........
It has a fruity smell that you'll either love/hate but i don't mind it.  My first thoughts were 'oh my this is runny isn't it' but i realise it is a good thing because it glides on but be careful it sets pretty quickly so blend fast.  It is very long lasting as i wore it for about 9 hours and it was still there.  I can't test 16 hours as i don't wear foundation for that long.  It is very yellow toned, it isn’t a problem for me as I’m warm toned but for cooler tones it might be a struggle to find  your right shade.

Would i buy again - yes, yes, yes!!!

    Stila eyeshadow


    Hiya today i'll be review stilia's  eyeshadow in chinchina.

    What they say.........
    Inspire your inner artist and create a palette of color with stila's award-winning eye shadows. Our assortment offers something for every Stila girl - from classic neutrals to the hippest, trend-setting shades in mattes and shimmers! Our award-winning shades are known for their high-quality formula and texture which can be worn wet or damp.

    Packaging ............
    i got it as a pan so it is encased in plastic.  It has all the ingredients on the base of the pan. It comes in Stilas usual brown box packaging.

    The eyeshadow...............



    I like Stilas shadows as they have so many beautiful shades. I wish the pans held a bit more product for the cost, but I can live with it since i got in the debenhams sale . It can be an obsession to have all of them!  Chinchina is an orange-brown that kind of reminds me of tree-bark for some reason lol :).  It is matte so it does require brush skills but its not as difficult to use as some other matte eyeshadows.  It does last for a fairly long time without any primer which is lovely but it does contain bismuth so those with sentivive skin may want to skip this.

    TGIF - Carmex lip balm


    Hola chicas today I’ll reviewing carmex lip balm.
     
    What they say...........
    KEEPS LIPS SOFT - Alleviates the roughness of dry lips.

    PROTECTS FROM WIND AND SUN - Replaces moisture lost from wind, sun and dry air.


    HELPS HEAL CHAPPED LIPS - Contains germ-killing menthol and phenol, speeding the healing process.

    Packaging................
    It comes in a stick, tube or tub.  I have the tub version.  The tub in plain white and the lid is yellow with the carmex logo, flavour and tagline.

    The lip balm.................

    First things first i absolutely love the smell, bought the cherry one.  To apply you just put your finger in the tub swirl about so you get a generous amount and apply to your lips, when it is applied it has a nice glossy sheen.
    The results are almost immediate, i have never really had a problem with dry lips but now they're so smooth! Carmex does not use animal testing. Their website also suggests you can use Carmex on cold sores, as a base for lip make-up, or as a moisturizer for elbows and cuticles, amongst other things.
