NYX Lid Lingerie: Review

Hello Lovelies,

Today I want to talk about NYX's Lid Lingerie Eyeshadow Tint, which I bought in shade Whimsy when shopping in Leeds recently and fell in love with the entire range!

Available in many beautiful colours this range has a very elegant feel and aesthetic to it.
The different hues are absolutely gorgeous, from pale nudes to electric blues and pinks, even their names are enough to fall in love with such as 'Whimsy' 'Evening Spell' and 'Rose Pearl'
which are just a few of my favorites.

It's an excellent compact size, as it comes with an applicator it is an all in one product as no brush is needed. It is also very easy to apply.

The shade Whimsy has a lovely subtle pink metallic sheen to it and the formula is build able to create any look you like.  

What swayed me most with this product was that it reminded me of the Maybeline colour tattoo cream eyeshadows which I have been a fan of for many years. The formula and finish are very similar and both are very durable. Although Maybelline range is a little cheaper at the price of £4.99 

I do prefer the NYX range because they offer larger range of colours compared to Maybelline and I also love that it comes with an applicator as I am the kind of person who can be quite heavy handed with make up and feel I get a better finish from using my hands and fingers compared to a brush however the applicator works really well and is easy to use. When using the Maybelline colour tattoo I found it quite difficult to use a brush and to messy to use my hands.  

Let me know if you've tried NYX Lid Lingerie and what your favorite colour is.

Thanks for reading 

No7 Beautiful Skin Nourishing Hand & Nail Cream

Hello Lovelies,


So this week I went for an interview with Boots for a temporary Christmas staff position, I have been to a lot of interviews recently and so I was not too nervous leading up to the interview, however once I got there and it started they certainty kicked in! Mostly because I wanted the job so much, I love all things beauty and Boots is a place I have a lot of interest and passion for so I would love to be apart of a company which I love and admire so much, this was my answer to the question 'Why do you do you want to work for Boots' but due to nerves it came out in abit of a jumbley order!

Now this post is not just about my interview, but it is definitely inspired by it!
As prep for my interview I was asked to choose a product to talk about and then try sell to my interviewer. The product I chose was No7 Beautiful Skin Nourishing Hand & Nail Cream, which I recently purchased and has since become  a favorite of mine.

As with all my reviews I like to read other reviews to get my overall general opinion from others to compare to my own opinion. This hand cream has divided opinions, many have said the formula is too greasy and the smell is strong and can be easily disliked.

I absolutely love the feel and texture of the product, a little goes a long way, if you use too much in one go it can feel abit greasy so only a small amount is needed. It feels luxurious and a treat to use.
It has really helped to nourish my hands, being an art student my skin comes into contact with a lot of different materials such as paint and plaster which causes dryness so I need a hand cream I can rely on and this is it, it is a great staple product.

It is a little pricey at £9.00 however I purchased with a No7 £5 off voucher which you can get sometimes if you are signed up to a Boots points card.

Let me know if you had tried this product or what hand creams are your favorites!

Monday Mask: NEW Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask

Hello Lovelies

Today's face mask of choice is the all new Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask, a "Super-Hydrating Revitalising Mask" which claims to give you one week of hydrating serum in one mask! All sounds pretty appealing, I was stocking up on the Garnier Pure Active Micellar water when I came across this product and for the special offer price of £0.99 I could not resist! The mask is said to be the equivalent of one weeks use of the Garnier Moisture Bomb 3 in 1 Day Cream.

"It acts like a hydration wrap that continuously diffuses all the effectiveness of the serum intensely hydrating your skin" 

Whats in it? 

Pomergranate Extract
Hyaluronic Acid
Plant Serum

Application

For the application I got a cloth and ran it under hot water and patted it around my face to open up my pores, I then cleansed face with the Garnier Proactive Micellar Cleansing Water, using a cotton pad I splashed a few drops of it on and patted it around my face.

It's a 15 minute face mask however like all face masks I usually give them extra time, I normally like to watch an episode of something whilst I wait, this makes me feel like I get the most of the product.

The mask was a little fiddly to put on, its one size designed to fit all and I found it the wrong shape in some areas but it's easy to adjust so I would not left that out you off. There are holes for the eyes, nose and mouth and then two slits on each side to fix the mask in place from behind your ears.

It felt very gently once is it on, unlike most face masks it does not dry and tighten which some people will love, especially if you have sensitive skin.

It felt SUPER moisturizing and refreshing whilst on my face and after I'd taken it off. There was a little tingly sensation but this made it felt like it was actually doing something, which I love, I like when you can actually feel a product working.

Result

After use I feel like my skin is in much better condition, it has definitely helped to even out my skin and give my skin moisture, It's a face mask I would definitely buy again, its a very easy and quick application  and I am now interested in trying the day cream to compare.

Skincare Haul/Mini review Superdrug/Boots

Little Skincare Haul 

Superdrug Skincare Haul

Recently my skin has been suffering from spots and dryness, I purchased I few products from Superdrug to help save my skin! 

The first product I want to mention is Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick with Witch Hazel Extract, this has been my savior! I'd heard good reviews but was skeptical, I have to save it is a must have if you suffer from blemishes and unwanted spots, this gets to work quick I noticed a improvement the next day. By all means this is not a magic wand, the product dries out spots and blemishes leaving your skin fairly dry  therefore a good moisturizer is needed. I can't really fault this product, it's a compact size to carry around in your daily bag, a little goes a long way so I see this lasting a while before I repurchase.

I am also IN LOVE with Burt's Bees lip range, I never did understand the hype until now! I bought  Burt's Bees Refreshing Rafraichissant with Pink Grapefruit. This leaves lips beautifully soft and feeling healthy. I love the scent too!

Recommend! 

Witch Hazel Blemish Stick £1.79 from Superdrug. 

Burt's Bees Lip Balm with Pink Grapefruit £3.69 from Boots

To combat my dry skin I wanted a good moisturizer. I pick up Garnier  Moisture Plus Protect and Garnier Moisture Match.

Moisture Plus Protect is a daily protective moisturizer with SPF 20 

with 24 Hour Hydration. A few benefits..."Enriched with Vitamin E, SPF 20 and Calrdula Extract and Lemon Extract"

All these things sound pretty good, I've used this once since purchased, it was not as soothing as other moisturizers I've tried however I am going to give it a chance, it has alot of the key things our skin could want, lets just put it to the test!

Moisture Match for combination oily skin is a 24 hour mattifying fresh cream with green tea extract. I have not tried this yet but hoping to use both Garnier moisturizers in rotation to see which works best for my skin. It's important to remember we;re all different, what might work for someone may not work for someone else but it's important to try and test and find whats best for you.

Lastly I have Dove, Purely Pamering Beauty Cream Wash and Simple Cleansing Lotion 

Dove was a last minute counter buy at Superdrug for 75p so I could not resist 

I love anything with shea butter, theres a luxurious feeling about the scent to it. 

I have always been a fan of Simple products, they have always liked my skin and helped make it softer. They tend to work for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.

Just a haul and little review of some of the products I have tried this time
