Review - Avon 3 in 1 Lip Gloss/Lip Stick

Review Avon 3 in 1 So like many girls I really like Avon, some of the products aren't the best but some are really staple items for anyones make up bag. This is really one of them! I choose the colour passion plum which is quite a dark colour for me normally as I'm pretty pale! It comes in nice packaging and I paid £5.00 pounds for it (around $7 dollars I believe). This was on special offer as you find most things will be at some point in Avon. This is really a brilliant product, not only because of the fact you have the lipstick and lipgloss in one you can also use either or and dont have to use the same one etc. The lipstick goes on soooo smoothly and the colour is fantastic really really nice and feels lovely on. The wand for the lipstick is really nice too and helps with putting it on. The gloss is lovely and shimmery too and really gives the lipstick a kick! I got so many compliments while wearing this and everyone wanted to know what it was. I think for the money

This and that..

Well I was out on the town last night from my friends birthday :) little tired this morning lol... but when I was gettting glammed up I decided to use my new avon 3 in 1 lipgloss/stick so I'm going to do a review maybe not today! :S had a great night though, just decided to chill out this afternoon get some pickies and veg out... i have a long weekend too so happy times! :) ta ta for now BF

Beauty Tip 3! (teens make up tip)

Teens Make Up This a teen tip! Try to keep colours light i.e. if you have bright eye make up on, try to use a sheer lipstick or just a clear gloss to help even things out (this will also help detract if you have braces on your teeth). Its also a good idea to try not to use too much harsh make up, remember your skin is young we want to maintain that :D

Origins Cleanser Review!

Hi, so my origins goodies finally came and I've got some time now to do my review :D This is a really great product and its the first time I've actually used Origins. I bought the Origins a perfect world antioxidant cleanser with white tea. This was 150ml tube and it cost £15.00 pounds (which I think is around 23 dollars). At the moment the origins website (uk version) is offering a free gift with each purchase. I received 3 mini products as well which I will review at a later date. So you just take a small amount, about size of a pea and mix this with warm water, wash your face - massaging into skin then rinse thoroughly. This product really does leave your skin feeling really clean and soft. I do think Origins products can be a bit pricey but they are really good and I think that this tube will last me quite a long time as you only really need a small amount. This product does have quite a strong scent but its a nice fresh clean smell and isn't too overpowering. Over a

Beauty Tip 2!

Covering Blemishes  First off find the shade that matches your skin tone exactly. You can do this by checking the colour in natural light for best results. I usually use the back of my hand or my neck/face. Dab this onto any blemishes you want to cover on your face then pat this with your fingers, ensure they are clean :) Repeat this step until your happy with coverage.

Review!! Maybelline Colossal Volume Express

Hey there.. so I am still awaiting my origins goodies but thought I would do a quick review of this brilliant mascara. I purchased this from my local chemist it was £6.99 (about 10 US dollars I think) and got the shade Glam Black. This was, believe it or not the first maybelline mascara I have tried, although I am a mascara addict! It was recommended by a friend so thought I would give it a bash. This mascara is really really good. The brush is quite chunky (see pic) and I am a big fan of these kinds of wands I don't like the new trend of the thin ones :-S. The packaging is really thick and bright as well really stands out in the make up bag! This mascara goes on really well and I had no clumps, I usually curl my lashes then apply first coat, let it dry then apply a second. However, on the pack it says only one needed and I really felt that I only really needed one with this! The colour is a beautiful black shade and this mascara really made my eyes pop so I would recommend it.

Beauty Tip 1!

Simple Skin! We all strive to have flawless skin, some of us  are blessed and some are not! So here is a good tip for foundation.. most women I know struggle to find the perfect foundation. Ensure your face is cleansed properly beforehand, moisturise then let it dry. You are then good to go. A good idea is to keep it simple, applying with a light touch can work wonders and is almost impossible to mess up. Putting a small amount onto a (clean) foundation brush and starting at the centre of your face, nose etc then you want to work your way outwards in a sweeping motion. This helps to even out the colour. Don't add powder and you can achieve a dewy look a la naturale (sort of!)... beauty flash.....
