BEAUTY: Festival Beauty Essentials With AVON

BEAUTY: Festival Beauty Essentials With AVON

Monday, 11 August 2014

With festival season in full swing, the lovely girls at AVON sent me a package full of festival essentials. I am actually still yet to go to a proper one but would love to one day, they look like so much fun and I love looking at all the style photos online!

Jojoba Dry Oil Spray - I've never used anything like this before but as soon as I sprayed it, I was taken back to Thailand! I saw the word jojoba alot when Andrew and I were in the spa but I didn't know what it was - well now I do and I love this stuff! Other than the smell, it's a really nice product, I've been spraying it on my legs to make the soft, smooth and shiny!

Sun Cream - Usually this isn't too important at a festival in the UK but this year I'd say it's one of the big essentials with the crazy weather we've been having, 30+ or more for me!!

Coloured Mascara - This is my kind of thing, I'm much more of an eyes girl and a touch of mascara makes all the difference! Having them in Blue and Purple is a perfect way to do some fun make up with out going ott and looking crazy! I love the idea of adding a subtle touch of colour to my lashes and it just gives off a fun vibe!

Styling Mirror Shine Spray - because who doesn't want shiny hair!

Eyeliner - What girl could seriously go to a festival without an eyeliner in her bag - Even I wouldn't do that! Gotta love a good eyeliner and this one is a gel pencil which is so easy to apply and lasts ages!!

AVON Gel Polish - Gel polishes are a big thing for me atm since I had a reaction to the real gel I use and had to keep away! At least now I can still get the look with out the swollen fingers! A festival is a great place to wear a bright yellow polish if your not too confident with bright colours in day to day life!

Lipstick - A bright lipstick is just what you need to make yourself look awake after a long crazy night and will talk the focus off of your tired eyes!

Sunglasses - Always a festival essential - sunglasses make everyone look better and actually have a purpose too!

Massive Thanks to AVON - at least if I ever do go to a festival, Ill be stocked up on everything I need!!

BEAUTY: Benefits They're Real Push Up Liner, Remover & Mascara

BEAUTY: Benefits They're Real Push Up Liner, Remover & Mascara

Tuesday, 24 June 2014

This week I came home to a stupid red note saying I had to go to the post office to get my parcel, don't you just hate those things?! What was worse, was that my brother was actually in the house all day and just too lazy to come downstairs and open the door! So, I got in the car and drove to the post office! This was a big deal for me, I was on my own and I actually had to park my mums car in the busy high street and get back out of my space after haha and I did it and it was totally worth it too! I got home and opened a mysterious package to find a surprise gift from benefit!

They sent me one of their new push up gel liners which I was actually planning on going to buy for myself - amazing, I've heard alot about them! I also got one of their eye make up remover creams and a sample of the They're Real mascara! This all came with what looked like a thick information booklet but when I opened it, music started playing haha there was a screen and it started playing a video - Amazing!!

They're Real Mascara 

I already happen to have two full sized products, plus about 5 samples since it is my favourite mascara ever! They sent me another sample, these are perfect for keeping in my purse, I leave one at Andrews house and one in each bag! The photos below are of my full sized one, I just thought it might be easier to see! Firstly, I love the shape of the product and just the overall packaging, its super classy and cute! The actual product itself is just the best mascara I've ever used - Its all in the wand! It makes my lashes super long, skinny and dark but with no clumps, just how I like my lashes!

 
They're Real Remover

 I've always used wipes in the past so this was something different but much better! For me, it works really well and even gets mascara off in a few wipes which I always have trouble, no more scrubbing!! Obviously, it's also a lot less bulky to carry around  than a packet of wipes and one other thing I liked was how it felt on my eye, I guess cream is just something I'm not used it but its was cool and pleasant!

 
They're Real Push Up Liner
 Now for the main product! I was a bit scared to use it as I have been though many pen liners and have found one that I like and have stuck with - I cant seem to use any of the others for one reason or another. This pen is a little different to all the other I've tried, I was expecting a liquid substance but instead a thick gel comes out of the angled rubber tip!

Having just tried it for the first time, I am very pleased to say it came out perfectly for a first attempt! I am very impressed with the product as well as myself for applying it properly haha it's all about lining up the angle of the tip along your lashes and your ready to go, just one swipe and there's a perfect black line, all you need to do is fill it in!  Also, I should add that I did it without my contact lenses which is even a mission with my normal liner but this was absolutely fine, I think its going to be my new favourite product ever. If I'm on OK the first try, can you imagine how good I'll be with a little practice?!  

Huge Thanks to Benefit for my lovely gifts - They will all be getting alot of use!

P.S - I'm off to Thailand later today, I have a post ready for every other day but make sure you check out My Instagram for updates on my trip!!

BEAUTY: Playboy Makeup; Products & Launch

BEAUTY: Playboy Makeup; Products & Launch

Thursday, 10 April 2014

Do you guys remember Georgia? She's been on the blog a couple of times in the post! Anyway, she's one of my closest friend and when she's not travelling the world (which isn't very often) I bring her along to some of my events! 

This week we had the launch of Playboy Makeup at the Playboy Club in Park Lane. How exciting! We rushed there from another event and got very lost at the station so we turned up in a big sweaty mess. nice haha not to worry, we got there just in time to see the champagne tower being filled! I went to catch up with a couple of blogger girls whilst Georgia got straight to picking up, trying and swatching every product in sight haha.

Georgia and I both left the party with a little goodie bag and a little bit drunk haha this meant that I could actually take a proper look at some of the products in depth when I got home! The first thing that really stands out about this brand for me, is the packaging, I really love it - I think its simple and but still fun!

 Firstly, I got one of the liquid eyeliners, this is the product I'm most excited about, it just doest come off haha Georgia put it on at the event and literally had to scratch it off of her hand. Also, as you can see the tip is super thin and the black is a nice deep colour!

 I love the mascara tube in this bright colour, its so eye catching and pretty! The wand looks great, its big enough to separate your lashes so that don't look all clumpy and horrible.

 Ok, so I don't really do face make up so I cant tell you much about this except that, like the other products, the packaging is super cute and it has a playboy bunny embossed into it. It also has a mirror on the inside which is always a good thing, right?

BEAUTY: New Relseases From GOSH

BEAUTY: New Relseases From GOSH

Tuesday, 8 April 2014

The girls at GOSH were kind enough to send me a out a little goodie bag of their new products when I couldn't make their launch a few weeks back, I've been so busy interning that I haven't had time to have a proper look at them until today so here's what I thin:

Polishes

I was sent 05 Frosted Rose and 07 Frosted Soft Coral. The range is surprisingly thick for a glitter polish, one coat was more that enough and that is saying something when three layers is normally not thick enough. I still went in for a second coat to see what would happen - the whole nail was completely covered, no gaps what so ever. I like this polish haha although I'm not too big on these two colours, I'd love to try some of the brighter shades.

Lips

I was sent the lacquers in 006 and 002 - Funky Lips and Lovely Lips. I did think they were nail polished at first haha but their not, they're just like cute little lip gloss/lipstick hybrid. They have a sponge wand and the colours seem to come out quite deep which I quite like, they're very smooth and nice and glossy and they're enriched with Argan oil and Vitamin E to keep your lips soft and nourished!

Eye Shadow Sticks

I was also sent 2 of these to try out - 03 Light Copper and 05 Grey! Any make up in pen form is so easy to use, you have alot more control on when the product goes and when it runs out, you just wind some more up! They are soft and shimmery and quite creamy and they stay on really well! These get a thumbs up from me!
