The Best Primer... EVER!!

I have been on a hunt for the holy grail primer for years and finally my search is complete. And the winner is.... *drumroll* Lancome La Base Pro!

 This cost £26 so it definitely on of the more expensive primers on the market. However, I really think it is worth it because the effect is excellent and one of the only primers that seems to do anything! It doesn't feel like other silicone primers and isn't at all oily/greasy. It has a beautiful finish which minimises fine lines and pores (especially around my nose). This product is great for both under make up and solo for those 'no make up' days.

Model Co. Fibre Lash Review and Demonstration

I was sent this mascara system by Boots to review for their website. It retails for £35 and the campaign is supported by Danni Minogue. It consists of a mascara and a tube of 'fibres'. The mascara didn't quite float my boat as I really didn't get on with the wand but the fibres could be used with pretty much any mascara to create beautiful long lashes. Layering coats of mascara, fibres, mascara fibres etc. will give you added drama and beautiful (yet clumpy looking) lashes which could be comparable to wearing false lashes but without the hassle.

Overall, I like the effect and my lashes are considerably longer and fuller, without being crunchy.

Glamour Goodies ft. Benefit Cosmetics!

Hello lovelies! Just thought that I'd let you know that glamour are doing their annual Benefit giveaway. I have to say that I was slightly let down this year but this is probably due to the overly generous full sized Eye Bright, It stick and BadGal pencil that were given away last year :( Anyway, I still got three copies of glamour which cost £6 with £28 worth of products in. The size of these products was reasonably small with only 4 ml of product in each.

My favourite has to be High Beam as i found it easiest to blend. I really didn't like Posie Tint because it was pretty streaky and uneven looking. Benetint is an absolutely legendary product which was originally made as a 'nipple stain' I believe! It gives a pigmented yet still natural red flush to cheeks and lips and has relatively good staying power! Here are the swatches:

Thanks for reading and I hope you pick these little beauties up!

Haul!!!

Today I went shopping an thought I would show you some stuff I bought!

Okay, so I kinda went a bit mad and bought A LOT of stuff. But my excuse is that I havent been shopping in agees!! :)
 I made an order from Coco Beau and bought two samples of the 'Ultra Foundation' in 'Porcelain' and 'Ivory' they were only £1.50 each so I just went for it. Along with my beautifully wrapped parcel which was really cute they had slipped in a sample of the Lait-Creme Concentre which I had been meaning to try but chickened out at the checkout.

I had a free makeup from Benefit cosmetics which was okay, but I always come out feeling as if my make up is verging on Dame Edna's levels. Anyway, with the make over there was the promise of a free Eyeshadow or Lipstick. They had a really small variety of colours for lipstick so I decided to get a Cream Eyeshadow in  'Honey Bunny'. It is a really pretty shimmery neutral which is great for days where I don't want to wear too much makeup. I think this retails for £13 but I'm not sure because I got mine free :)

I decided that I wanted to spend my Boots Advantage Card points as I had collected quite alot over the years. I had just heard about the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation and I had recieved a sample in 'Glamour' magazine and I LOVED it!! Probably the most flawless yet natural foundation I have ever used. I got the colour Beige Pastel (B10) which seemed a good match. This costs £32 for 30ml and I purchase mine at Boots.

 Skincare! I'm a skin care addict and get really excited about new finds...is that sad?? :) I had £5 off at No7 voucher so I decided to get the No7 Soft and Soothed Toner which was originally £8 but with the voucher was only £3 for a huge bottle so I thought that it was a great deal! I also got the Neutrogena Mutli-Defence Moisturiser with SPF 15. I got the normal/combination one as I have a Normal skin type and it cost around about £5 because it had a reduction of £2 i think (so was originally about £7 at Boots)

 I also got the Tresemme 24 Hour Body Blow Dry Lotion. This was very intriguing for me, fine haired gal, as I am always on the search for more volume in my hair. This was fairly inexpensve at about £5 so I thought that I would give it a go.

 I forgot to take pictures of these products and my camera ran out of battery but I'll tell you about two more products anyway.
I ordered the Clinique Brush- on Liner in Black which  I love and prefer it to Blacktrack by MAC as it has a richer colour pay off.
Also, I got the Soap and Glory 'Bright Here Bright Now Instant Radiance Energy Balm' (blimey that's a mouthful!) which is basically a moisturiser which gives a very natural, non-shimmery glow.

I hope you enjoyed reading this and there will be reviews coming on some of these products!

Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Hello! I picked up these massive bottles of Pantene Ice Shine shampoo and conditioner and thought I should do a review for you.

This was my first time using these products and I have to admit that it was also my first time to use Pantene. But I had heard that they make some of the best low- end products on the market. Upon using them, the first thing I noticed was how amazing they smelt! A really clean, fresh smell which stayed in my hair even when my hair had dried. I usually go for hair products that promise added volume and thickening but I was curious about the idea of 'shiney' hair. As my hair has some natural highlights in them (I have never died my hair) I already do have a glossy appearence to my hair but I was intrigued by the idea of enhancing and 'transforming tired, dull hair'. Although I did notice that my hair felt light and smooth, I didn't notice much of an improvement to the shininess of my hair. However, I found that my hair didn't get as greasy as it usually does on the 2nd day after washing (I wash my hair every other day).

To conclude, I would really recommend this if you have dry hair as it adds moisture but not enough to make your hair greasy. But for me this just didn't add enough volume so I will continue my search for the perfect shampoo and conditioner combo :) Thanks for reading!
