NYC Smooch proof lip stain.

Lip stains are a great way of putting colour on your lips without having to reapply during the day. The trend with them at the moment is to be in a felt tip pen. I'm a lip product junkie and love grabbing new lippies whenever I see one. I've used a few lip stains before and have hated having to apply them. The nail polish like brushes are annoying and don't give an even finish so I always use a lip brush, so when I saw this one in my local Superdrug I picked up and decided to give it a try. NYC Lipstain - £3.99 superdrug I grabbed...

Cream blushers are great way to apply colour to the cheeks. You can get so many different looks with one product.

My must have mattes!

As I've said before I have oily skin and am prone to oil slicks on my face! To combat this I use a whole host of matte finishing products. My favourites are: MAC Studio fix concealer. I love this concealer. It is thick and gives a flawless finish to the skin. It is also a full coverage concealer which covers anything I may have on my face. Having oily skin I am prone to breakouts to a good concealer is a must. With this one I find it doesn't slide around my face and it stays on beautifully through out the day. It does...

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick.

Rimmels Kate Moss signature lipstick collection has been hugely successful. I love the original collection and as soon as I heard that a matte collection was on sale I made a bee line to my local Boots on my lunch break at uni to grab one. They have the same style of packaging as the original line but to differentiate quickly between the two they have made these red. Which is great they stand out in my lipstick box which makes for easy grabbing and easy finding in your hand bag! Colour 101 on left and 107 on the...

Schwarzkopf Color XXL

I'm a hair chameleon and decided that after 3 years of having bright red hair it was time for a change. So I went for a purple colour and chose Schwarzkopf as I love how vibrant their hair dyes are. Schwarzkopf are one of the leading hair dye brands both in home dying and professional so when it comes to dying mine they are the go to brand. I find that for the size of the product and the amount of money your paying for the product there is enough in one bottle to completely cover my mid length hair which is fairly thick....

Cha Cha Tint Benefit

Benefit products are go to for me. I love the design the smells and how great the products are. I've been debating with myself whether or not I want to purchase the Cha Cha tint. I'm not a huge fan of tints and find them a bit awkward to use so I didn't want to spend the cash on a bottle for me to hate it. So when I saw that Instyle were giving away mini tints with their November issue I had to search for the cha cha tint! The sample size is 4 ml which is enough to try a fair few times and get a feel for the product.  Cha Cha...

So when I saw Oral B were bringing out their own whitening tooth paste I had to try it. I love Oral B toothpastes already I'm so fussy about the taste of most tooth pastes that there's only a few I'l use and Oral B taste nice and I love the clean feeling my teeth are left with after brushing. The tooth paste comes in 2 different types...
