Collection 2000 cream puff moisturising lip cream review

So this is first impressions review, not exactly first impressions as I have had this lip product for a couple of days but this is how I am going to do this review first of all here as you can see is a picture of the product and a swatch on my hand now I am going to insert a picture of my lips without any product on then one with the lip product on and then tell you how it lasted and how I feel about it! This product is in the colour: fairy cake 3

So yeah that is the colour of my lips and its the most attractive picture ever. I know ;) XD.

So the next step was to put on the product and take a picture of it on. Bear in mind it won't look exactly the same on camera or on screen. 

So yes on camera and on screen it does not look like a massive difference in colour but it is a lot brighter in reality. Its a coral colour with orange undertones but it also has a mix between pink and red in the look of it. The first things I noticed whilst applying it were:

• The product clings to cracks in the lips and does what is called feathering or bleeding. 
• The wand is super soft and velvety
• It smells and tastes like custard.

No7 eyeshadow duo review

Hey so I have had this duo for ages! shock horror! I got this for christmas last year or the year before...:/ anyway just a side note these no7 eyeshadow duo's don't have names they are just duo's without names. Another side note my finger looks TINY in the blue swatch its because its further away and its my pinky finger! (if you don't say that and don't know what they are its the tiny finger on your hand lol) anyway onto the review!
I don't know the price of this because as I said it was a gift nor do I know the availability. Especially as my auntie from Ireland gave it to me so yeah. So the pigmentation is very good and there is no fallout. The blue one is a very very pigmented eyeshadow which is unfortunate as I never wear blue eyeshadow. I love the top colour in this duo which is a rose gold/gold colour that has silver and taupe shimmer in it. I love this blended with MAC sable and in the inner corner of my eye as a highlight. The packaging is great but I wouldn't repurchase this because I don't like the blue colour so I would prefer not to waste it and just get a single eyeshadow!

Vaseline Pink Bubbly Limited Edition Lip Therapy Balm Review

So here is a review for Vaseline Pink Bubbly Limited Edition Lip Therapy Balm. I purchased this bad boy for £3.49 at boots but I am pretty sure it can be purchased at superdrug    and selfridges as well, I'm not 100% sure that it is still available as it is limited edition but I think it is. Anyway onto the review.
P.S. I have a lot of time to blog right now so I will be doing a lot of review posts on makeup/hair stuff/nail polish/ and films!

Vaseline Pink Bubbly is as I said above a limited edition product that is supposed to be themed around champagne, I got this as soon as it was available in the boots/superdrug near me (there is no selfridges here) and ended up getting it in boots, I got in October so I am honestly not sure if its still in stores, but I did see it about 1-2 weeks ago in boots but still haven't seen it at all in the superdrug here. The smell of the product is a rather uneven mix of vaseline (obviously) and grapes but the smell of grapes is very very subtle. It works just as well as any other vaseline product so its nothing special in the lip care department it is just moisturizing and good for preventing chapped lips but my one problem with vaseline is that it is quite greasy. So while doing my makeup I put this on first and then do the rest of my makeup look. This is glossy looking and has a light wash of peachy/pinky colour and looks great over lipgloss/stick I also love this when I am going very natural with my makeup for example in the last few days all I have been wearing is mascara and this balm maybe gloss or lipstick as well.

Soap and glory hand maid hand gel review!

                                                                                                                                     So if you watch my youtube videos that I do with one of my best friend Poppy then you will know that I recently got this hand gel. But as I deleted the post that I had put the link to our channel in I will say it again here the username is LiveLaughBeauty73. So look it up on the search bar on youtube for mainly beauty focused videos, but also music (not us singing about music) and other misc videos. Anyway onto the review!  

So hand maid hand gel is... strange. Let me explain why. So you know the typical abysmal hand sanitizer/gel well the smell of this hand gel is soooo much WORSE! JOKING! only if you have a weird nose. It smells soooo good! It smells almost exactly the same as soap and glory glad hair day shampoo, if you don't know what that smells like its fruity, fun and kind of floral! There are subtle notes of                orange more than any other fruit. This is a good cleansing sanitizer which is good because I just hate it when you have maybe been out and then are going to eat and you want to wash your hands, I also just use it when I feel grubby/dirty or have touched something manky. I do not have OCD but I am very paranoid about this kind of thing.

Product Rating /5: *****

p.s. I have a lot of time to blog right now so I am going to upload a lot of posts probably all make-up/ hair/ nail polish reviews! Maybe I'll even chuck in movie reviews! 

Soap And Glory Hand Food Review

Hey guys so I'm back with another review this time of Soap and Glory's Hand Food! So many people in the youtube and blogging world have been raving about this and I generally love hand creams and I love soap and glory so I thought I would give it a go.

My first impression when I saw the two different sizes in the shop was to get the smaller one for taking around in my bag with me and I thought that I would never use all of the bigger version. Now I really wish I had gotten the bigger version, with the way that I am using it! 

The hand cream smells so so good that my hands are practically glued to my face after I put it on, attractive I'm sure... Anyway apart from the smell it is also non-greasy, which to me is one of the most important things in a hand cream, I absolutely hate it when they leave a residue on your hands, this if properly rubbed in is untraceable apart from the softer feel that it leaves behind and its amazing smell, even if you don't quite get it all rubbed in, in a matter of maybe a minute it will have naturally of absorbed.

The feel of the product, I mean in the way of dry/chapped hands and if it softens, heals, moisturises etc, I would have to say it really does all of these things, for 2.50 you really can't go wrong (I think its 5.00 for the large size). If you have dry/chapped hands in need of moisturising then this does it all, it also softens your hands, making them supple which is always nice. 

The packaging is sweet, girly and I just love it. The easily squeezy bottle is convenient and the size is great for travel and for keeping in your bag, its a staple in my bag and I would recommend getting the bigger one for your dressing table or something, I know thats what I'm going to do.

Revlon Lip Butter Macaroon&Cupcake Review

I recently purchased two Revlon Lip Butters, in the colours Macaroon and Cupcake. There have been many mixed feelings about these products so I swallowed my reservations and bought them, well to be honest I was very excited about getting them after I watched MissGlamorazzi's review on them on youtube, she is one of my favorite youtubers so that really helped make up my mind, also Fleur De Force's blog post on them (another of my favorite youtubers) anyway on to the product reviews, I am reviewing both colours individually on here as each lip butter varies in pigmentation, texture etc. 

Things about both of them:

They have a slightly gel like formulation but I don't mind this at all, it also has a soft texture which feels velvety on the lips, the only problem with the formulation is that when you wind down the lip butters they tend to smoosh a bit at the top. The colour stays on for about half the day if left alone, which is no different really to any other lip product, but you have to replenish it after eating or something similar, but probably not after drinking, depending on the way you drink I guess. Presentation! I nearly forgot to comment on presentation, some people call the presentation outdated with the quilted lid, I think its really cute and I love it, I overall just love love love the packaging I think its gorgeous. 

Macaroon: 

Macaroon is a gorgeous red colour with sparkle in it, it has brilliant colour payoff but to make it slightly more natural and wearable I blot it. I believe this is a new colour, and I am head over heels in love with it. I wear this one slightly less than cupcake simply because I prefer pink colours and natural looks, I love the name of it and I find it really cute. I love this colour however I find it has a slightly less creamier texture than cupcake and the pigmentation is slightly different to cupcake, I would say macaroon is slightly less pigmented. I love this product and the colour pay off is excellent! Product Rating (out of 5 stars- *) I would rate this *****

Cupcake:

Cupcake is another lovely colour, its a light pink colour, but it has less sparkle than Macaroon, but there is a very subtle sparkle to it. I slightly prefer the colour of Cupcake to Macaroon because I love subtle, natural looks and I love pink colours on the lips. On a quick side note don't you love the picture I made above? Haha. Anyway! I also love the name of cupcake it makes me really want cupcakes and it just sounds yummy if that makes sense! The texture of cupcake is slightly more creamy and smoother than Macaroon and I really do mean slightly, you only notice the difference if  you look for it sort of thing. Cupcake is more pigmented but some people may think that's a bad thing and some may think its a good thing, personally I think its a good thing because it means there is a better colour pay off. Macaroon's colour pay off is better than cupcake's though but this is probably just because you notice it more as its a more noticeable colour. Product Rating (out of 5 stars- *) *****

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream Review

As I mentioned in my first blog post I was supposed to be getting a sampler of Maybelline's dream fresh BB cream and it finally came a few days ago, it came with three sachets and I have used one and a half of them, the reason I have only used half of the second is they actually give a lot in one sachet and I haven't been using to much as a little goes a long way, the samples came in the pale shade which actually matches my skin tone perfectly in my opinion, I also think that for something that isn't a foundation but a mix between foundation and a tinted moisturiser this gives fantastic coverage, my proof on the matter is not only what I could see in the difference on my skin but I was putting on my mascara after putting on the BB cream and I was out so I didn't have any make-up wipes, so typically some mascara smeared onto my cheek just under my eyes, so I just put BB cream over it and you could not see it, now you may think that it will be really noticeable or orange but its actually looks really natural as long as you have the right shade like with everything, it also doesn't leave any residue on the skin if it is blended in well, but if it is lightly blended and just left on the skin it will leave residue, which I could feel on my jaw line which I hadn't blended in well enough, but trust me it doesn't take long to blend in, I could do it quickly with my fingers.It says that is is an 8 in 1 product and I will  now tell you if it does each one:
*Imperfections look blurred- yes it does as it has great coverage
*A natural looking glow- yes it does make your skin glow, however the one slight downfall is it makes your skin look slightly shiny.
*fresh feel- 100% it feels so nice and refreshing on your skin.
*compliments skin tone- yes as long as you have the right shade so yes.
*skin looks smooth- yes its an even consistency and it moisturises so that helps to make the skin smoother.
*hydrates- yup!
*protects with SPF 30- well if it has SPF in it which it does then thats true
*oil free, non-greasy- true about it being non-greasy and if it has no oils in it then obviously its oil-free.
so it does all eight of them which I am really impressed about :)
I absolutely love this product and I will definitely be purchasing the actual thing. You can get it in Boots, Superdrug and most major supermarkets according to the letter that came with it, I don't know about availability in other countries than the UK, the price in boots is 7.99 so pretty affordable :)   The next review/blog post that I think will be up is a review on the Revlon lip butters or the No7 match made foundation service expeirence :D
