Favourite lipsticks at the Moment!

Another new post while I sip on Orange Lucozade and have some Crisps packets. 2 to be precise :-(. Oh the sad Fattening days & nights. (Did I spell that correctly??) Who else can relate to this situation?

But whatever lets move on to the point. So this post will be about my fave lipsticks along with my 2 fave lip liners. At the moment I have 2 that I will be mentioning in this post. And they both are MAC Lippies in the shades Angel & Viva Glam II. I bought the Angel and the other I got as a gift. 


Recently I have been loving these lipsticks and can honestly say are my 2 go to lippies as they are very versitile & can compliment any look. They are both Nude Lipsticks. One is a brown Nude and the other in a pink Nude. Absolutely love them and the texture of these lippies. I'm not a big fan of MAC but I have to say these Hands down are my fave lippies from that brand, might buy some more as they do stay on for quiet a bit. I am sure you all know how the MAC lipsticks look and feel. As you must all own MAC lipsticks :D. I was just the last to try them out. HAH. As I said I am not big on that brand but I had to get my hands on some lippies ;-). I have been wearing them for couple of weeks now so I thought I should share my Favourites with you all. 



Along with these lipsticks I have also got some lip liners that I would like to mention are from the Drugstore ofcourse. I have 1 from Rimmel in the shade 063 EastEnd Snob & the other 1 is from Collection which is in the shade 1 Nude Pink. 


Both of these lip liners go perfectly with the MAC lipsticks. Well the Collection one is just a tad bit darker but can be blended. Nothing is impossible ;-). 

But thats all folks.. xox

Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Gloss

If you have read my previous post then you will know about my trip to Boots and me buying 10 products along with 1 I did need. So yes these 4 babies were amongst those 10 products. I am saying 4 because I already had 1 of them ;-). 

I had tried all of these out a couple of days ago and omg they are amazing. The smell delicious, It's like smooth caramel on your lippies. And I actually mean Caramel, as they glide on the lips and are not sticky at all. In total there are 9 shades in the Lip gloss, but I only have 5 because when I was in boots looking at these pretty little lippy glosses I only really liked the first 4 colours as the rest were, well 2 or 3 were way too light and they other couple were dark. That's it. Just dark. Well saying that i have 2 of the dark ones. I love love love the Gold packaging.


Shades from Top to Bottom:


If you can't make out what it says do not worry i'll list them down below:

10 Pristine Nude
80 Lustrous Sand 
25 Enchanting Coral 
45 Luxurious Berry 
60 Polished Fuchsia


That's me swatched the lip gloss in the above order. Don't they all look pretty? 

You can buy these from Here. And Boots still have the 3 for 2 offer :D. 

Have you tried any of these?? If not I say you do :D

Mini Review - Max Factor CC Cream

Right so I was in boots 2 weeks ago, and have not been in it since :O yaaaah shocking right? But it needs to be done, I need to stop buying so many products and use the ones I already have.

I recently went into boots to get god knows what but ended up with about 10 products :'(. I think I should be banned from Boots. LOL. 

I will not get to the point because I do not want to make this too long. 


I have honestly not been big on BB & CC Creams. I had used one from Rimmel and really wasn't a big fan. This Max Factor CC Cream is totally differnet. It is what it says. This is a tinted moisturiser.  And the best one I have used. I have wore it twice on my face and can honestly say it is the best. I absolutely love it. I don't know why I never bought it before. If I had found it before to be honest I probably would not have bought all the foundations I have. That was not possible because this is just a new-ish product. 


As I have already said before that this is an absolutely amazing product. It has a light to medium coverage but for me I think this was enough. My skin has been breaking out but trust me it has nothing to do with all the products I have been using on my skin. I just need to get my diet right and cut out all the junk. It really does make a difference. Drink lots of water, That's what I tell myself all the time. 

But if anyone is looking for a face product that is not too pricey and is worth the money then this is for you. Priced at just £9.99, I mean you can't go wrong with it. Plus Boots still have the 3 for 2 offer so I say you make the most of it. 


I have bought mines in the shade 50 Natural. In-store they have the CC Cream in 4 shades. So there is a shade for everyone. I seriously thought this would either be too light or too dark because I can never tell in all that lighting. But hey guess what it was just the right shade. So proud of myself haha. Such an idiot I am but to be truthful I can never match a foundation to my skin. It's my worst nightmare. 

You can buy this here.

But I took a chance with the CC Cream and I am so glad I was correct. :D A big cheesy smile. 

Has anyone else tried any BB/CC Creams? Do let me know :D

Liz Earle Cleanse Polish - Review

I want to write about so many products that I have acquired in the last few weeks, but there are so many that I haven't even got round to using them. Oh my why do I always do that? I honestly need to stop buying so many products. But hey there is no such thing as "too much makeup". 

ANYWAY let's talk about my new face product. It is from the Liz Earle brand. Okay I have seen all the products from this range but honestly had not went and tried any. I have only seen Liz Earle products in John Lewis so when ever I use to walk through John Lewis and had always seen like Middle-aged women looking at this brand, so every time I seen that thought that maybe it was mostly for the middle-aged women but I was wrong.


I was very wrong about that because it is certainly not aimed at a particular age group. Anyone can use it. I mean ANYONE. When I was in John Lewis browsing through the products, the girl that works for Liz Earle was very friendly and came to help me, and told me a bit more about the product. I was into it straight away. And wanted to try it for myself. 

As my skin is Sensitive I am very picky about what i put on my face. (I need to watch what I eat too, I need to get the junk food out my life) *crying* why o why? Erm back to the point.. What was I saying? Em oh yes Sensitive skin, I got told that the Liz Earle products are for all skin types because of all its Natural Ingredients Like Rosemary, Chamomile, Cocoa butter and Eucalyptus essential oil. 


They are all beneficial ingredients for our skin and body. All of the above ingredients have anti-septic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, but we wont go into that much of a detail. 

Let's talk about the product itself:



  • Amazing daily Face wash
  • Affordable 
  • Moisturising
  • Smells Good
  • Very soothing & Calming
  • Does not irritate skin
  • Good for anyone & any skin type
  • Is of a thick consistency
  • Don't really need a moisturiser after using this.

I bought the Starter kit which came with 2 Muslin cloths. To be honest I have not used the Muslin cloths yet because I am just so loving my Magnitone Lucid. But when I do get round to using the Muslin Cloth I will let you all know. 




I bought it for £14.75 but if you only buy thee Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser it is £13.25. So you are better off buying as a starter kit rather than on its own. I am absolutely loving this amazing product and I have nearly finished it but don't worry I have also bought a back up too and that was from Boots. It came in a set with a full size Hot cloth cleanse along with 2 Muslin cloths, Instant Boost Tonic, and Daily eye repair. The tonic and eye repair are in smaller bottles. John Lewis have also brought out their Christmas gifts so do check it out online and in-stores. Oh by the way they also have a limited addition Hot cloth Cleanse & Polish. Well it is actually the same product inside but just in a different smell. And it is amazing. I know I am going to go buy it so be sure to check it out for yourself's. Let me know if you have or currently are using products from this range.

Until Next time... Live, Love, Laugh

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

I am currently relaxing on this very bright sunny Sunday on my very bright red couch. Thinking of how to start this post, but I guess that's how it will be. As I sit here and observe everything in my living room while my mum watches her Indian Drama series, I feel as if there is a lot of red thing going on. Red couches, red flowers on the rug, red carnations and oh I am wearing a red t-shirt. What are the chances? Is anyone else feeling abit redish today? Or is it just me?

Mehhhh.. So recently I have acquired a considerable amount of makeup. Yes Makeup, beacause its my favourite thing. Isn't it a bit obvious by now? So yes this post will be in two parts as it would have been too long and you all would have got bored. Yano what am sayin'.

Then let's get started.. I will keep it nice and simple and short :D.


I went into Boots last week after work, its torture working in the town centre. Just cant help it at time :(. But yes back top the point went to Boots and seen that they have already brought out their Christmas gift sets. Can you actually believe it? It is nearly that time of the year, amazing how this year has flown by. So yes just roaming around in town which I bumped into Boots or should I say Boots bumped into me? Whatever, As i walked in they had a rack full of gift sets and how could anyone just walk past it? I spotted this little gift set and Baam was in my basket as I loved it and I honestly do not own anything from the Benefit Line. Weird right? Yes very! This cute set was £19.75 I think but was definetely under £20. Be sure to check it out. Really good for the price. As most of their products are on he pricey side. 


See what I am saying? I just had to get it. And look how cute the packaging is. It is in like a tin Material box. Almost looks like a sweet box. Doesnt it? Anyway that is what it consists of. They're Real Mascara, Stay don't Stray eyeshadow primer and lastly 4 amazingly pigmented eyeshadows. I have swatches of the eyeshadows aswell. I am so in love with them. 

Top to Bottom - Call my Buff, Thanks A Latte, Guilt-y Pleasure, Kiss Me I'm Tipsy

The other Benefit Gift set i Bought is like amazing for the price. It was £29.50 and this is honestly at an amazing price and you are about to see why in just a second. 


Okay you may not see it in a second but it is coming. Trust me. But just look at how cute the packaging honestly is. See what I mean it actually can be mistaken for a sweet box. But it has much more than sweets. And now you are about to witness it. Be prepared.


And Booooooooom! Yup see how delicious it looks and it is better than sweets. Well saying that I do love my sweets aswell.. Hehe. But yes see what i meant when i said it was only £29.50. It was and is a bargain all you girls. And how beautiful do all of these blushers, bronzer and highlight look and a tiny cute brush. It's Blush Galore. I had been wanting the Hoola bronzer for a very long time so when I seen this was more than happy and for the price it was a bonus. And yes I have swatches for these too. 

Top - Watt's up (Highlight)
Bottom to Top - Dandelion, BellaBamba, SugarBomb, Hoola, Coralista, Rock

See how pretty these are. So if anyone is looking to invest in a benefit product then I say you should start with these as they have a lot more of these gift sets in store. Oh and I think Frasers have a lot more of the Benefit gift sets. So do go and check them out all you gorgeous girls out there. 

Treat yourself. You're worth it.
