Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Protector

 photo 31048BE2-771C-441E-86EE-6AE58FFC89D6-5792-0000022272C9D342_zps41ec08b7.jpg  photo CD913DE5-2D3B-4848-B0F6-DFAC197B6B7E-7142-000002B0405A45E9_zps676852a9.jpg

I swatched this twice on Sunday, once in Boots and then once in Debenhams. And then I willingly caved, but only after thinking twice and remembering Debenhams were offering 10% off all beauty and I also had a £5 off thingy on my BeautyCard... making this a steal at £10.40! That's instead of £18. I've heard rants and raves about this product and once the "I've gotta have it because she has it" thought was planted in my head I had know other choice but to make a purchase. 

The product Ooh the smell, it's sweet as you'd expect and like sweet, sweet candy floss. Sticky? Nah, it doesn't feel like your standard gloss, it has movement and doesn't gum your top lip to the bottom. Staying power? It has it... once you've slicked this on to your pout it is staying right there. Ooh and does it look even better on top of your favourite  nude lipstick, you never have an excuse to not be wearing this gloss 24/7. I can see this tube lasting a while and becoming the most battered item at the bottom of my make up bag. 

Am I as addicted as everyone else? Yes, as predicted I fell in love. It's true what they say, it is your lips, just better. Therefore you are topping it up at every opportunity. 

I hear there is a dupe No7 do a dupe version at better than half the price, No7 BB Lips at £8.50. You know Boots are always giving out them pounds off No7 products with your receipts so that makes the dupe maybe worth a look. 

Would I pay £18 for it? I'd hold out for another Debenhams discount. These roll around probably once a month or so, pinch your pennies. But yes I would repurchase, again and again and again... wider colour range need though. Collect your Boots points, find it cheaper online or grab a treat, either way spoil yourself to this Clarins must have.

EOS Honeysuckle Lip Balm

EOS - EvolutionOfSmooth

I know I am bit behind the times reviewing this months after everyone has already raved about this little gem but I only just brought myself one and I like to not be like everyone else sometimes . The other day I was looking through my 'Watch' list on eBay and noticed these had gone down in price (£3ish) so I nabbed myself one for my new lip product addiction , theres more lip posts to come !

Why I love it ? So this little pro active beaut is GREAT . It comes as a solid dome which is the big selling point . I like the idea of the less mess , less stress easy application . . . no little germies going from your fingers to the product , just a quick swipe to apply . It leaves your lips smooth , soft and smelling sweet . 

Con's
1 . Although the smell is sweet and yummy , it is a bit to sickly for me so I've ordered the Sweet Mint version in hope that the scent won't be so overpowering . Don't be put off though , you may love this scent . 
2 . EOS don't do a cakey version , all the scents are fruity . I am a vanilla , rich cakey kinda gal . 
3 . The packaging states that the product contains antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil I feel it should in the long run leave my lips feeling the benefits after the balm has worn off 

Would I buy it again ? Big , fat yes ! Because of it's easy to appeal dome and no sticky mess , I think I am gonna have these floating around in the bottom of my bag for a long time . 


Has anyone tried the Balmi version ? I need more . . . help a girl out ! ! !

I had to show you guys this sale bargain cheap lippy I nabbed from the Jack Wills sale for £2 ! Two  freaking quid ! Can I grubble . . . err nop . I would of had more but there was nothing left that took me fancy . This particular one is shade SweetPea . It's a coraly powder pink . . . It reminds me of the MAC Viva Glam Nicki that is out at the moment but a little less neon . It's got staying power and it's glossy smooth . I wouldn't say Wills are known for their make up range but I was more than impressed with this beaut .  If you see any left in stores , swatch away and get a bargain . End of , great sale catch from Jack Wills .

Have you tried any beauty products from Jack Wills ? Let me know : ]

Clinique's Chubby Stick

IMG_9539

They are back ! The super lush (not so all that the first time round) Chubby Sticks from Clinique . This time though they are so much better , packing a punch with a much larger choice of lip licking shades , 16 in fact . You have so many to indulge in , from Chunky Cherry to Voluptuous Violet , theres a colour for everyone . So sleek and compact they are perfect for your make up bag or to just throwing in the bottom of your purse . And it is just so moisturising , I put it on an hour later my lips are still soft and covered in colour . This is no tacky , sticky balm . . . it's pure smooth , moveable balm . The only real down side is they don't have any scent *frown* . Yeah I know none of the Clinique products are  scented but this product would have been so unbelievably perfect with a yummy , sticky , jelly smell , I say that would of been a huge selling point , everyone loves a juicy smelling lip product . Either way I can safely say I love these ! By the way the one I've swatched here is Heaping Hazelnut , a nude brown . Which colour next ? 


I actually won this particular Chubby Stick via Twitter . I am a follower of Clinique and happened to see the other day that they were giving a Chubby Stick away a day , such a great way to give back to your followers . All you have to do is go to their Twitter , find their giveaway tweet and tell them your favourite Chubby Stick . . . Simple ! So next time your hoovering over that retweet to win and think ooh I'll never win , hit it as someone has to win , you have nothing to lose : ]

MAC Lazy Sunday

I got my MAC fix this week while out in Cambridge for a little day trip with my better-half . We had a lovely day planned out but then rain dampened everything . I wanted to adventure around the city but in the end we stuck to the dry Grand Arcade shopping centre , which  was rather impressive and worth a visit . Anyway , Cambridge has a tiny winy MAC store , adjoining John Lewis , I just 'popped' in while passing by and grabbed this little treat for myself . It is from the new Casual Colours collection , all lovely products but not all for me . There are seven other shades to choose from , this one was my fave so in my bag it went . Lazy Sunday is a typical Baby Pink , all bubblegum and sweet . It's a super multi tasker , it can be used as either a cheeky lip colour or a yummy blush or both . Aww 2 in 1 , perfect for your make up bag . . . Thank you MAC ! 


Hope you've all had a beautiful weekend and are finally enjoying the sun and it's shine . Happy Sunday everyone .

And you are all like nooooo not another Mac post . . . well I'm hitting you with another lipstick post : ] because they are so beautiful and your lips deserve the best you can get ! So I was in Norwich over the last bank holiday and first port of call was the Mac counter of course , although I'd already made a little order during the week . I was well behaved though and only brought this one thing (only because they didn't have Creme Cup in stock Grr) . I brought the sexual Pretty Please , a lush little Lustre lipstick , with a few blue flecks floating around in there and lots of shimmer . I don't really have many pinks or shimmery ones in fact . It is so cute ! Pretty pink and muted . Simple as that . 

What's been you cheeky purchase this month ?

A nosey post for you all this evening , because we all love a good rummage through other peoples personal belongings , well I know I sure do . So this is a little peek in my current makeup baggy . These are the bits and bobs I carry around on a day to day basis to make sure I am never caught short and am able to reapply my face on the go . It obviously can change all the time depending on what I might need when I am out of the house or for when  I change my mood and want to splash on something different . I'll be sure to treat you to an updated in my hangbag post soonies . Happy Wednesday everyone !

MAC's Frou & Innocence, Beware!

Wow I just found two MAC lipsticks shoved out of the way amongst all my other lipsticks . I brought these in February/March from my local MAC counter . 1. I have not used these two yet , they are still in their boxes and 2. I still have not blogged on them , ooh the shame , so bam here they are . . . I've swatched them for you so you can see what the colour really looks like , swatches are cool . Yes they are both nudes shades but hey get used to it because I love nudes , it's the easiest colour to wear , end of . So I have . . .
 
Frou . This has a Glaze finish and the colour is really whitey gold/silver , I would not wear this day to day as it is a bit of a going out , date night type of lipstick . I do not own a MAC lippy that really has that much sparkle in it so I grabbed something that was new to me . It is so cute . This is a lipstick permanent stocked by MAC so you can go get it no problem if you like it .

Innocence, Beware! is a Cremesheen , it has a few peachy pink undertones which make the colour pop . I got this because the new CookCook collection came out and I always buy limited collection nudes before they sell out , I am trying to make excuses as to why I have so many nudes , ooh how I do adore them . Anyway this one probably is not one of my top nude shades as it's more peach than an natural looking nude , I like it all the same though .

Which is your favourite lipstick from MAC ?

When you walk into Lush you are always overwhelmed by all the gorgeous smells from all the different soaps and bath bombs . And more often than not you want to take a little nibble at some of the products as they really do smell that good , good enough to eat . . . well now you can ! Not only does this lip scrub smell amazing but you can also eat it . An edible product , what more could you want .  


This product is made to remove and dead , dry skin from your lips . Get a good amount on your finger then gently scrub away . it leaves your pout smooth and ready for your lippy . II also comes in a yummy Mint Julip and Sweet Lips , 'd say and entire edible range is a super idea .

Long Time . No See .

So I am truly sorry for the lack of posts over the last week or so . I have excuses though . Works has been super SUPER busy , I've been out & about opening a new store and I AM EXHAUSTED although it has all been totally worth it .

But my holiday is coming around thick and fast with under a week to go , me and the fella are counting down those days . The plan . . . 1. Thursday hit my cousins wedding , where the weather better stay bright and I better remember to take lots of pictures of all the beautiful people ! Then plan 2. Friday fly away to Cyprus for a week , no plans really , just packed cases . The lack of organization here is madness . I have just got my passport back , I have only one bikini and not even any sun lotion .

I did do a little shop on Saturday in Norwich and picked up a few bits .

Red Lips

Photobucket

Looking through Elle The Runway Edit today I locked on to the Hot Looks for NewYork .

Saying "Mood Of The City . Polished beauty dominated NYC with crisp , crimson-red lips and effortless , chic updos in abundance . Full , handsome brows featured , too , adding a steely strength to faces" .

Red lips are my favourite statement .

I like to be completely naked faced and just wearing red lippy (a bit of Mac Russian Red). It never fails to make me feel glamorous and sexy . No matter how you are feeling just a little bit of lipstick can make you feel amazing .

Go put your favorite lippy on now and see how it makes you feel . . . Pass the tip around .
