Revlon Makeup

When in my local boots I noticed a 3 for 2 deal on Revlon makeup. Now the purpose of my trip was just to pick up my all time favourite foundation by Revlon which is the Colourstay foundation. Noticing this deal though I had to take advantage. So firstly I picked up my foundation in the shade Sand Beige. One of the reason's I adore this foundation is it last's me the whole day and i find the coverage is so good. You only need a small amount and I work it in with a flat top Kabuki brush and it just looks flawless, this foundation retails at £12.99.

So with it being 3 for 2 I had the wonderful delight of picking another 2 products, i realised i was in need of a new liquid eye liner so I purchased the Revlon ultra black linear. My first impressions on this where moderate I wouldn't say I was to overly impressed I found with the eye liner I had to apply a few applications to get the best colour from it, and if I gently caught my eye with my hand it smudged really easily so I probably won't purchase this again. Then it was onto my last product so I decided to choose a lipstick I was wanting a nude pale kind of shade so I came across this lipstick in Pearl 025. I'm so glad I purchased this is so beautiful its a very natural shade and it leaves lovely shimmer to the lips, I also noticed it was very smooth to apply and left my lips very moisturising and did last a good few hours this was retailing at £6.99

Then last but not least, this was actually a free product I received because I did the 3 for 2 deal this was a free gift. This is a Revlon Photoready prime with anti shine in clear transparent shade. I apply this just before i apply my foundation. In the packaging it provides you a little sponge to apply this with, I'm not really into primer's I must say but I thought I would still try it. So I apply this just before my foundation only a small amount, the first thing what struck me was the smell of the sponge it really set my smell sense off it wasn't the nicest of smells to say the least! I have only tried this primer a couple of times so I can't give a big review on it yet so I will let you know when I have used it a couple more times.

Hope you enjoyed my little Revlon Haul, let me know in the comment's if you have tried any of these products? Xx

Salon Selectives

This month I have come across another Hair treatment! I am still in love with my Lee Stafford hair treatment, but as I only use that once a week I did need a conditioner for the rest of the week. So when I was in Savers looking at the endless rows of conditioner's this certain one caught my eye.

This is Salon Selectives 3 minute TLC Intensive Conditioner. As you can see from the title it claims to be a intensive conditioner which is something I do require with my hair. I purchased this for 89p no your not reading it wrong it was just 89p, I did think surely this isn't going to be great but I thought no let's give it ago. So after shampooing I apply a 50 pence sized amount to my mid length and ends then leave it for the 3 minutes it requires then wash of.This is thick consistency so a small amount goes a long way. After washing my hair I try to use as little heat on my hair as possible so I simply plait my hair then go to bed. The following day after styling my hair I did notice that my hair was surprisingly really smooth and felt really soft. I'm actually really enjoying using this as my conditioner and for only 89p I really can't fault it so I will be repurchasing this for sure!

Barry M

Is it to earlier for me to say that I am feeling a little festive spirit already! I know we are only just in October but I am feeling all festive, mind it probably doesn't help that the supermarket shelf's are stacked with Christmas goodies already. So I wanted to try something slightly different with my nail's just didn't want the cost of going to the Nail salon. So a shopping trip was in need, heading straight over to the Barry M counter this nail polish was just beaming at me Its a Barry M in the shade Socialite 523 this was £3.99. I also picked up a Beauty UK nail polish in the shade Twinkle Twinkle which was £1.

 I wanted to create a simple but effective look with these polishes so I just painted the tip's of my nails starting of with the Barry M shade applying over my tip's of the nail's then letting them dry, I did apply two coat's of this shade as I felt it needed the two. Then once they where dry I went over the tips with the silver Beauty UK nail polish again after each application I let it dry then reapplied another coat, I repeated this step two times. Then once the nail was completely dry I applied a clear nail varnish all over the nail for the extra shine!
                   ( I will just state these aren't my real nails they are false ones which I apply myself )

I hope you enjoyed my post, I would love to know what look's you like to create with your nail's.

Blend.Active

Recently I have been seeing lot's of my friends  family or people I follow on Youtube drinking smoothie's.
Soon after seeing so many people recommending these blender's I thought it was time to invest and what a better way of getting your 5 a day in just one shake. I did lot's or research in trying to find the right Blender for me and and eventually found the Blend.Active. This is currently in Morrison's for £21.99 so I took the plunge and brought it!.

When Unboxing it I was happy to see it come with two drink Beaker's! So the beaker will connect onto the blades just screw it on tightly and click into place, then once your done blending all you need to do is unscrew the blades from the beaker and screw the drinking lid onto it tightly then your away. This is such a little easy device to use there is no need for blending into a separate beaker's then having to pour it into another drinkable beaker, it's literally all there just one simple lid change is all it require's. Cleaning of the actually blades is simple just unscrew them from the main compartment and rinse under hot water and that's it so easy!

So far I have really been enjoying Strawberries, Raspberries, Banana and almond milk I have really been enjoying this smoothie for my breakfast and I do stay full till lunch. Now there is load's of fruit you can experiment with using this Blend.Active, I have noticed though the more tougher the fruit is like Apple's you will have to chop those fairly small to get them to blend well. Not all fruit will blend out into a smooth texture but if your like me who doesn't mind the odd bit of unpureed fruit then you will be fine.

So my lovely's here you have the Blend.Active, do you have a favourite smoothie??
