Happy Halloween!

Image
I Love  Halloween! But sadly I have no Halloween party to go to & I'm a tad old for trick or treating! So I decided to put together this dark, vampy look. Which I sort of love! I've never been good at selfies! My eyes are dark and smokey but I used a pearlesant white shade to add a soft glow. I used brown to create a depth in the outer hollows of my eyes and a black shadow to line my upper and lower lashes and my outer V, gently smoking. I thinly lined my eyes with liquid liner, carrying the liner out rather than into a cat-eye flick. To finish a slick of mascara to the top and lower lashes and lining my tight line with my liquid liner. I used a dark red lip liner and dark plumb lipstick on the whole of my lips and a deep red lip gloss to in the inner section of my lips to add a lil something something! For nails I've been rocking a black & white crackle look that kinda looks like skulls..maybe! List O' Products: + Boujois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation in no.

Avon Mega Effects Mascara Review

Image
Hola Chicka's! About a week, week and a bit ago I received my first Avon order in a very long time! My boyfriends, brothers, girlfriend [Phew!] has started selling Avon as an extra income so I thought I would buy a couple of bits to help her out! I bought a heat protector and this.... This is Avon's Mega Effects Mascara.  I bought it for £7 introductory price, full price it will be £10 for 9ml. Avon say its: "The Wonderbrush that's going to change mascara history Provides panoramic volume and corner to corner coverage for dramatic definition. Flake-proof and sweat-proof." Comes in a little red & black box... With an instruction manual...oh yes! Pull of the cap and what do u have? A lil handle to pull out! [ooo..] Pull it out and what do you get?! Something a lil different! The Mega Effects Mascara is different from other mascara's, and I'll tell you for why! The applicator. The mascara applicator is made up of little plasticy spines that comb through

Sheet Mask!

Image
Hi ya'll  Last night was the first time I used a Sheet Mask :O and I just wanted to share my experience :) And I have to say I kinda liked it, although I did look like Michael Myers from Halloween and it kinda go in the way of my eyes :| The sheet mask I used didn't shout a brand and was just simply titled Tea Tree & Peppermint. On the back all it says is 'Specially produced for Xpel Marketing Ltd' and 'Made in Korea' It claims that its nourishing and revitalising , deep moisturising and should leave my face feeling silky smoothe. I got this little baby from discountUK man I love that shop!  Cost me 99p and I bought 2. How to use: 1. Thoroughly wash and dry face 2. Take out and unfold the mask and apply on your face 3. Remove the mask after 15-20 minutes and let the skin absorb the remaining essence by gently patting the skin. No need to wash face after using the mask! I had a wee bit o'trouble breaking in to the packaging so I had to lop it open wi

Soap&Glory's Slim Wear Review | Oil Cleansing Update (week 5)

Image
Hi Guys! Today I'm reviewing Soap & Glory's Slim Wear Peptide Balm, But before I crack on with that I'm just going to update you on my Oil Cleansing journey. I didn't update last week simply because not much has changed.  However this last week and a half my skin has become super-duper oily :(  So much so my boyfriend keeps commenting :( bad boyfriend! So I think what I might do is up the amount of castor oil I'm using in my oil mix and see how that goes, hopefully dry some of the excess oil out? What ya think? Cross fingers anyway! Right on to the Slim Wear! I bought this on offer at Boots for £5 for 190ml.  I trawled the boots website to find the full price, price but couldn't find it on there so maybe its being phased out? I've been working hard since May to get my thighs in to shape and I think I'm doing pretty well but as a womanly plight I do have Cellulite - major boo! So I saw this and thought I'd give it a go. Everything it says sounds p

Skin79 Min Set Review

Image
Its been a long time coming but I finally finished using my Skin79 mini set of BB creams. I bought these a while back, and mentioned them in this  POST . & Here's the corresponding post! Lets start with the fist one I used which was the bright pink BB Cream. Ultimately this was my favourite of them all. It has a medium thick consistency and covers pores and redness well. It glides on to the skin and there's no need to use loads.  A little goes a long way.  My favourite way to apply was dabbing it on with my fingers. The colour was a little greyer than I was used to and I can say that for all of them, but the colour match was amazing for me! I was really surprised because it only comes in one shade.  Although I found if I put too much on I would look a little pale. This was long wearing and kept my oils at bay while leaving my skin feeling moisturised all day long. LOVE IT! My second BB was the Diamond Pearl Luminous silver tube. This had a much thinner consistency and was f

Oil Cleansing Method | Week 2 (& a half)

Hi! Today's just an update on my Oil Cleansing journey. SEE HERE Last week I was breaking out, all red and painful all thanks to Olive Oil :( boo! So I switched to Jojoba oil and my skin is much happier! My breakout has reduced massively, though I still have my 'everyday pimples'.  My oil levels rose up again :/ But just today and yesterday it seems to be leveling out.  Interesting! With any luck my oiliness will stay at a controllable level!  After each cleanse my skin feels soft and moisturised, and I notice that the dirt/blackheads blocking my pores get drawn towards the surface. So far I'm still loving using this method of cleansing & Will keep updating :) Have a great day! Jeni x
