Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Protector

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.

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

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 : ]

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 ?
