Review Of The Day: 17 Lip Crayon in Bold

Hiya! 

Today I'm going to be reviewing the 17 Lip Crayon in Bold.



I was looking for a build-able red lip with shimmer for summer, as I borrowed my friend's last year, and it looks gorgeous with a tan. 
I went into Boots and saw this little beauty.
I love 17's stuff, it's really high quality and affordable, so I was obviously going to buy it (haha, predictable).

This product is pure gorgeousness! The picture on the left is the only one I could find, and to be honest, it looks slightly orange! The swatch underneath that I did is a much better representation! 

This product is creamy and goes on like butter. It is a glossy red with a hint of shimmer in the light. The pigmentation is perfect, and it doesn't fade. 

This product comes in 5 different colours, but this was the one that stood out to me. It's half way between a gloss and a lipstick for me, and even though you have to re-apply it quite often, this is definitely one of my favourite red lips. Perfect for summer!

You can pick it up at your local Boots for £4.99.

Review Of The Day: Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick

Hey! 

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Blemish Stick by Witch.

I have been using this for several months, and I have to say, this is the best blemish/acne treatment I have used (and I have tried ALOT!).

This product comes in a pretty blue tube, and the stuff inside it really works. In it, there is witch hazel extract, which basically sucks out the bacteria of spots, and from the first time you use it, you have clearer skin. 

I have also tried several dupes of this, by Freederm and Clean and Clear, even one from Benefit (all slightly different), and none work as good as this.

Seriously, this has been my best beauty buy to date for me, as I mostly used to spend my make-up budget on concealers (of which I have around 20!). And, even better, it is only £2.89 from Superdrug. £2.89! It lasts at least 6 months and it works so well. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this product. I love it!

If you want this product (I'm sure you'll love it as much as me!) you can pick it up at your local Superdrug for £2.89, which is a steal for a product this good!

Review Of The Day: Katy Perry Lashes by Eyelure

Heyyy there...

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Katy Perry Lashes by Eyelure in Darling. 


I have a confession - before I used these lashes, I had never used falsies before!!
But I think these were a good lash to start with. 

Firstly, I love Katy Perry. Bonus.

Secondly, they are self adhesive, which is better than fiddling about with all that lash glue, especially if you are starting out.

Thirdly, they are reusable and affordable, at £5.95 in Superdrug. 

I'm not saying that they are easy to apply, because no false lashes are until you are used to them, but they seem to be a LOT easier to handle than typical lashes. 

They don't peel off, even under stage lighting (I wore them to perform) and it gives your lashes a big push, and gives the effect of perfect, gorgeous black lashes. My friend has the Cool Kitty lashes, and she said that they are just as worth spending money on, as I am sure the whole range is. 

And at a price of £6.00, why not?!?!?

As I said earlier, you can pick them up for £5.95 at your local Superdrug.

Review Of The Day: Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner in Teal

Well hey there! 

Today I'm going to be reviewing Collection 2000's Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner in Teal.


I had my eye on this gel liner for ages, but I was deliberating on which colour to get (I have alot of black liners, so I wasn't sure). Eventually, I went for this gorgeous bright teal shade. 

I was looking for a new summer eyeliner, as I have been wearing the same coral and black combination for a few years now. This colour is perfect for a beautiful summer look, especially with a tan. 

The pigmentation of this liner is second to none, in my opinion. It only takes one swipe of a brush to get a perfect pigmented line. 

The liner comes with a small eyeliner brush - and by small, I mean smaller than my little finger. It is a typical blunt ended eyeliner brush, and would be okay if you need a handbag sized brush for touch-ups, but I prefer to use a full sized angled brush - however, it is quite a good quality brush.

As for the staying power, even in hot weather, I haven't had any sliding or fading with this product. It is very easy to apply and the consistency is very rich and creamy. Overall, I love this product, and I think both the colour and staying power are perfect for summer. 

If you want to try this product (hopefully you will like it as much as me), you can buy it from your local Superdrug for £4.99. This liner also comes in the colours Black, Brown and Gold.

Review Of The Day: Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara

Hey blog-readers (super funny!), 

Today I am going to be reviewing the fairly recent Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara.


When I bought this, I was quite excited, as I don't really like my lashes too brittle, but I like my lashes to be a lot longer and more voluminous, which was obviously going to be hard if I don't like hard lashes. So, when I heard about this, I was really pleased that they had come up with this new formula. 

The first time I used it, it was surprisingly clump-free on the opening of the tube. I applied it, and it seemed to do what it says on the tin - it seemed fairly able to build without getting more brittle or clumpy. 

But then, after a few uses, I began to notice that it was clumping more, even with the lid on correctly and a few days of use. It also slips off very easily - I once put it on, and it had slipped onto my under eye within 20 minutes, even though I don't have very oily skin. 

Most importantly, I have found that over the few weeks I have had this mascara, it has become more and more brittle on the lashes. 

I think that this product could have been one of my favourite mascaras, but there are some vital flaws in the formula and the brush that need to be attended to. In my opinion, Rimmel should make the formula waterproof, and maybe include a clump wiper in the packaging, as that was my main issue.

If you do, however, like thick lashes, and don't mind a few clumps, you can pick up the Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara at your local Superdrug for £6.99 - however, if you want it badly, it is now on sale at £4.99.
