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.

17 Mirror shine lipstick


Hey guys today I’ll be reviewing 17 mirror shine lipstick in nudist peach (£4.59)

What they say................
Get ultra-glam, slick colour that creates the illusion of fuller, luscious lips

Packaging..............
I really don't like it.  Its bright turquoise and it's shiny which i guess is because its 'mirror shine' with pink '17's' around the rim.

The lipstick..............
It is a sheer peach (which barely showed up when i tried to swatch) which lasts a really long time even after eating/drinking it was still there it was just not that glossy.  And for less than £5 it is not going to break the bank.

Grade - B+
