Superdrug Haul & GOSH Darling!

Hey,

I went to superdrug earlier as I have read a LOT of people raving about the Gosh lipstick darling.  I wanted to see what all the fuss as about so I got one, yay, the last in the shop!  Looking forward to using this as I haven't really been into the whole Nude lips so I'm really excited about it!  Im kind of in a makeup rut at the moment so need inspiration. 

This colour looks gorgeous on a lot of people's pics in blogs :)




I also got 3 more of my FAVE ever foundations but all in different colours!  Its the Loreal True Match foundation.  I fake tan so every day my colouring is different!  I normally use the shade N4 which I got again but bought it in W1 and W3 also for the days when I am really pale or in between.  These were the only shades left so just got them - not sure how they will look on my skin! 



Swatches of Barry M lip products

Got another Barry M lipgloss too - love these, the number on this one is 4 and more of an iced pink colour.  Its smells like strawberry hubba bubba!!! lovely!  Also got the Lip Lacquer crayon in number 5 but not sure what this is!  the colour is just pretty, does anyone else have this?!  Am looking forward to experimenting with it all.  Im supposed to be saving money :(  its not working!!

Barry M Lip Gloss Bright Pink!

Hey girlies,


I purchased my first Barry M lip gloss the other day just because the colour stood out straight away and it smells like bubble gum!  I couldn't resist! 


It doesn't have a name on the gloss just the number 5 and here it is...




here it is swatched on my arm


Here I am kissing you all hehe - quickly swatched on my lips, ignore my messy hair I hadn't done it!

Really love this - If I nude out my lips before I put it on it will definitely be a lot brighter so will try this out soon :)  Smells gorgeous - exactly like bubble gum yum!

Does anyone else have this lipgloss?  I am wanting to purchase some more xx

LUSH Goodies!!

Hey,

So as I mentioned yesterday I went to Lush today and bought a lip scrub yaaaay!  I heard about these on WSITN's youtube account as they were a different brand? and Lush was taking them over etc... soooo as I have really really dry scabby horrible lips I wanted them straight away!  I have looked everywhere for Lip exfoliators and could never find them. 

While I was in there I got a tree Tree Water spray as I also read on someone's blog, cant remember, that if you have really really dry skin, you spray this on your face and it prepares your skin to accept your moisturuser!  But when I have bought it - its a toner? Hmm not sure I will have to try this out!



The lip scrub?  I LOVE it!!  I am at work now and cant stop applying it to my lips :)  The ingredients are caster sugar, oils, flavourings etc and this aint good for my diet as I keep licking it off hehe.  I got the flavour Mint Julips which is a peppermint and chocolate flavour. mmmm.  I did want the strawberry one but the sales assistant they sold out almost immediately and that they are getting a delivery in tomorrow noooooooooo why did she have to tell me that?! I am supposed to be saving money!  i want it I want it I want it!

All my flakiness has gone already and only bought it an hour ago!  I then applied my vaseline and my lips feel so smooth.  This is my new fave lip product :)  I know your thinking its only a lip scrub jeez but seriously - I have never come across anything like this before as lip balm alone does not heal my chapped lips!

Does anyone have the Tea Tree Water?  What do you think of it?!

:)

REVIEW - Miss Sporty Nail Polish. Fun CHEAP colours!

Hey girlies!

I was looking for some CHEAP fun colourful nail polishes and came across these.  The brand is Miss Sporty and Iv only ever seen these in Superdrug in the UK.  When I got them they were on offer, buy two get one free and they're £1.99 each so £4 for 3 colours isnt too bad!! 

I got Blue, Orange and a sort of Purpley Colour!  I only needed one coat of each and took 1 min to dry and overall i think they're very good for the price!

Heres some pics.  Ignore my orangey hands I had just put my tan on!  When washed off the next day it doesnt look so orange :) 

(Always wanted to do this nail with the bottle pose hehe!!)

  Blue
 Orange
 Purpley!

These dont have colour names on the bottles :(  But never mind!  They're ok just to throw on and very cheap too!

No7 nail polish, Speed Dry, ICED MOCHA colour swatch!

Hey,

So here is the colour I got the other day from Boots, No7 with my voucher!  The name is Iced Mocha.



To be honest I am not really keen on the colour - I was wanting a nudey kind of colour but there didnt seem to be one and there were loads of people around trying to look at the same time as me and I was getting stressed and grabbed this!

Its a very subtle shimmery colour - its ok I guess!  Cant really tell from the picture sorry, I am still trying to work out the best settings for my camera!  I did take the flash off but looked awful.

What are you fave No7 nails colours?!

REVIEW - St Tropez Mousse Tan vs St Moriz!

Hey girls!

I absolutely love St Tropez Tanning Mousse and is my fave ever! 


Id heard a lot of good reviews of St Moriz and when I saw this in my local home bargains shop in town I had to get it!  Its was only £2.99!! WOW



So what did I think?? To be honest I was thinking it was not going to even compare to St tropez, St tropez is the best bla bla bla but I was quite surprised!!  I have been testing this for over 2 months now as I wanted to get a good overall conclusion of it.  Here is what I think and its just my opinion :)

Good Points:

  • Bigger Bottle - 200ml.  St Tropez is 120ml
  • Price is £2.99.  Bargain!  St Tropez is £20.00
  • Lovely and light texture and really really smooth to blend in - I am thinking it is even smoother to blend than St Tropez! :O
  • Dries quickly - about the same as St Tropez.

Bad Points:

  • Bit orangey!!  If that even makes sense!  When applying St tropez it appears a lovely dark bronzy colour and this appears more orange on my skin.  Not a horrible scary orange - just compared to St tropez I could tell a little bit of a difference.   Not sure what tint it has but I know St Tropez has the green tint in it to stop it from going orange on the skin. 
  • Smelly!!  Haha they all do in my opinion though so nothing major.  This just smells more than St Tropez as thats what I am comparing it to.  The smell came almost straight away wheras St Tropez smells quite nice to begin with.
  • Fading colour is a bit more noticable.  Very patchy when its starting to wear off - I found I had to work harder to get it off with my exfoliator.  Also had to moisturise more.

So overall i think this is a very good product if you are wanting something similar to the St Tropez mousse.  It applys extremely well with a tanning mitt, it just glides on :) 

Price is amazing!  Will use this every couple of days and keep my St Tropez for special occasions as its a bit pricey!

What does everyone else think??

LUSH lip scrubs!

Hey,

Walked past Lush and it dragged me in!  They have the new Lip Scrubs in that I have been waiting for yaaaaaay!  Didnt have my bank card on me so couldnt get them - gutted!  Hoping to get these tomorrow, although I didnt see the strawberry one, boooo!! 

My lips are really really dry and always flaky and horrible!  so hoping these will exfoliate and repair them.
