Review - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer.

Ok so to start off with I would like to say that I have a real complex with my under eye circles! I hate them, and to me they look like dark cloaks covering my face! So when I found this little beauty I fell in LOVE!

I was a bit dubious at first because I have tried many concealers that haven’t worked. I read some great reviews about this little guy and many top beauty YouTubers recommended it also, so I thought I’m going to give it ago. I’ve been using it for about a month now and I am so happy with the results. It covers my dark circles COMPLETELY and any impurities I have VANISH!

It comes in a cylinder with a wand applicator, which is also the lid. It’s a creamy/liquid consistency, which makes it so easy to blend in. You can use your hand or a face brush to do this, I prefer to use a brush as I feel it covers better and is easier to blend in. I only used a small amount and it still covered my vile bags. So you don’t need to use a lot of it to cover at all. Well I’ve had it for a month, I use it everyday and I still have half a cylinder left. Yay!

Overall I am so impressed with the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. It is the best I have ever used and it will be on my shopping list for years to come. Thank you Collection for producing this eye bag fight, spot hiding, little warrior.

It comes in a range of colours: fair, light, medium and deep. It’s available at Boot, Superdrug and other reputable retail stores. RRP £4.19

Lush review - The Comforter.

Oh my goodness, so to start of with I would like to say that the scent of this bubble bath is A-MA-ZING!! The key ingredient Blackcurrant gives it that lovely sweet smell. When I walked into the shop it was like my nose was leading the way to this gorgeous little bubble bar. It was out of my hand and in my basket quicker than a chocolate bar, and they go pretty quick!

This little slab of berryliciousness looks like a creation from Dr Seuss with is tie-dyed swirls of pink and white.  It’s really soft and ‘smooshy’ like a dried out spoonful of ice cream I love that not one slab of comforter looks the same they are all vary in their berry looks. Its quite a big portion so its estimated to last you at least five baths, I can say that I have used mine for about seven and I still have loads left over. I think its because you don’t need to use a huge amount. I used small pieces and still got a mass of bubbly bubbleness.

Sorry for the poop photo.

I broke off a small amount and crumbled it under the water and almost instantly the bubbles started to appear, my bath water also went a beautiful shade of deep pink. I felt like I was bathing in a giant berry smoothie. What I loved most about it though is that the smell I loved so much never left; in fact it filled my whole bathroom with its berry scent so I truly did feel comforted, it was like I was wrapped in a big berry hug.
My skin felt as it also does when I use Lush AMAZING, so soft and soothed. It also left my skin with the faint smell of berries, so I went to bed smelling like a blackcurrant, wit woo!

Lush Review - Golden Wonder Bath Bomb.

Oh my goodness so because I am easily amused the fact that my bath bomb was shaped like a present had me all giddy but then when I found out there was actually little gifts inside, well I basically shrieked...ok I actually shrieked!

 Its not called Golden Wonder for nothing, the whole outer layer is covered in gold glitter, or as I like to call it gold dust, so its all shiny, yes I stood there going ‘Ooh a shiny…so pretty’ ahem moving on. The inner layer is a bright blue; there are also little small bombs inside varying in colours. This combination of these colours together turn the bath water an amazing shade of blue, I felt like I was laying in the Mediterranean, well almost. The bath water also had gold flecks running through it that’s why I aptly named it gold dust as I felt like I was bathing in gold and that made me feel like a V.I.P (Very Important Princess).

 

Sorry for the poop photo.

I was a bit sad that the smell wasn’t very strong or didn’t last. What I mean is that I dropped it into the depths of my bath and all its luscious smell went with it, I didn’t get to bath in the aroma of Golden Wonder, the citrus fragrance that was so strong in the beginning vanished almost instantly, so it left me a little disappointed when I didn’t come out smelling like an orange :( 

Saying that I cannot ignore the effect the little wonder had on my skin. It left my skin feeling so soft. I suffer from dry and sensitive skin and this little guy soothed the irritation almost instantly and left me feeling hydrated and soothed. So thank you Golden Wonder.

The Beauty Parlour find and short review.

So I finished work one day and I decide to have a little noisy round town, as you do, and I drifted into Superdrugs I was looking up and down the beauty aisle and I noticed this amazingly packaged little product called The Beauty Parlour, now if I was going to buy a product based on its packaging alone then the whole range would be in my basket and at the till in an instant, its just so yummy! They have pastel coloured bottles, tube etc with vintage ladies on which I just loved! Anything vintaged up is a snazzy little babe in my books. So after falling head over heels in love with packaging I thought I better have a closer look, so I did. And I discovered that they have a pretty good little range of products, they have:

·        Body butters

·        Moisturizers

·        Scrubs

·        Masks

·        Lip balms

·        Eye treatments,

·        Face treatments

This list could go on…but you get the hint. I stood there a little giddy, as in my head I had just discovered another hidden little gem, yay!! I was doing the happy dance inside. It was decided I just had to buy some of their products and try them out so I bought the Butter me up Body Butter Duo, RRP £5 which contains:

Yours Truly Velvety Vanilla Body Butter, which smells gorgeous, amazing, divine, just plain lush! I have been using it for about a week and half now and my skin feels so soft, not greasy or rubbery and it also smells beautiful, all vanillary. The cream itself is of medium thickness, so it isn’t too runny or solid. It’s quite creamy so it goes over your skin easy and soaks in fast! Because of its vanilla scent I like to use this as my morning moisturiser, and because it soaks in fast its perfect for that job. So I am a big fan of this guy and will most definitely be buying it again!

Butter It Up Shea Butter & Sweet Almond Body Butter, this one smells like a cookie, a yummy body butter shaped almond cookie that I just want to eat! Because of the shea butter and almond oil ingredients this amazing creation leaves my skin feeling like silk, and I just adore it! Want super soft skin then I suggest you use this product! The cream is a little thinner on this one, but still creamy so it glides over easily and still soaks into my skin quickly, so I’m not sat there waiting for it to dry. I like to use this one at night after my bath or shower as I feel it has a more evening smell rather than a day smell.

Tip: Body butters work best after you have bathed or showered, as freshly wet skin soaks up the moisture better.

I also bought the Lip Service Lip Balm Collection, RRP £5 which contains:

·        Sweet on you Strawberry lip balm – Another favourite

·        Sugar lips vanilla lip balm –My favourite!

·        Sweet but juicy cherry lip balm – And another

·        Exotic beauty coconut lip balm –Also my favourite

All of these lip balms are simply gorgeous! They leave my lips soft, juicy and with a nice tint (depending on which one I use). They are in a round tin small enough to go into your pocket; bag, purse etc and I just love them! It has quickly become my new favourite lip balm collection.

I can honestly say that I am so happy to have discovered this collection of products and I cant wait till I buy their salt scrub, chocolate face mask, eye depuffer and well all of it!

Have you used the range?

Review: L'orea Paris Studio Line TXT Volume Supersizing Spray.

I wanted to use this product for a little while before I reviewed it as I wanted to give it a fighting chance at winning me over, as I am usually disappointed in volume products because they never do what they say on the tin. Anyway I bought this little guy about two weeks ago and I’ve used it pretty much everyday since then and…

Ok to begin with I was disappointed because it says it gives ‘back combed volume’ so I was expecting a mass of poodle hair instead I got slightly puffier hair. So I was ready to throw it in the bin and sob like a baby because yet again I was let down by a product but…

After a few days of using it I noticed that my hair was bigger than it was before, no it wasn’t massively volumized but it was looking bigger and that’s a start. So I started experimenting with it I started spraying it under my roots, on top of my hair and at the bottom, then I scrunched and it actually started to give me texturized volume, which is great! That means that the texture of your hair is bigger and isn’t that what it says on the tin? Yep!

 

Before                                 After

I just can’t get over how much texture it gives my hair, whether its clean or dirty it adds life. I have quite long hair so it can become limp and a little lank, after using this product my hair stays texturized and doesn’t fall flat! So this little texturizing prince has won me over and has quickly become one of my favourite hair products.

It comes in quite a big tin and smells nice, not too producty, but I like the smell of hair products anyway so maybe my opinion doesn’t count there :p

I’ve also used this spray for some up dos. I used it to create a messy high ponytail and bun. It really kept my style in whilst giving me that added texture and my hair looked amazballs!

So this product will most definitely be going on my shopping list again.

Tip: if you find it isn’t working for you try spraying it under your roots first. Scrunch.. Then all over. Scrunch. Then at the bottom. Scrunch. It’s all about the scrunching.

Take care. Roschelle xx

Lush and Primark Haul!

Hello!!

Today I went shopping and I spent a little too much, my bank account is now screaming in protest!

So as I was meandering my merry little way through town I, completely by accident, happened to find myself in front of Lush and it would have been just plain rude not to go in, so I entered that magical land of fragrances and goodies and here is what I got:

Lushy goodness!

·        Dragon’s egg, now I love anything fairytale related so this guys was a must, plus it smells amazing! It contains: Lemon oil, Jasmine and popping candy eeeppp!! I cannot wait to use this one! RRP £3.25

·        Marshmallow moment, with what little self-control I have I managed to not eat this one, it smells so fricking LUSH! It contains: almond oil, chamomile, marigold and obviously marshmallow. I’m so excited to use this one! RRP £3.95

·        The comforter. Oh My Goodness! This smells so good, it’s like a fruity, berry explosion and I was powerless to resist its inviting odour! It contains: berries and bubbly goodness. I can use this little guy multiple times BONUS! J RRP £4.50

I love Lush so much and I am super excited to try them all! Damn you Lush for being so crafty with your inviting smells and ingredients, you will be my demise!

 

After my bank abuse at Lush I moved onto Primark. Now I usually always get a little depressed clothes shopping because I never really find anything that’s me. But this time was different I got some items that I actually love and here they are:

·        I got two pairs of trousers, because I looked in my wardrobe and realised all I own is jeans. I really liked these ones, as there like a legging/jogging material and they are really comfy and can be worn as casual or dressy. I got one in three tone and one in bottleneck green both RRP £6.

·        I also got some awesome legging with Cheetahs on them! I love them RRP £4!

·        I got some tops. A baseball jersey that I immediately fell in love with RRP £6.

·        A bike print top and a dinosaur print top (AWESOME!!) and yes I got these two from the man section because I like to wear oversized tops with leggings and converses, its my thing both RRP £4.

·        I got two blouses because I try to be girly with my fashion when I can, otherwise its pure boy look haha! Both RRP £5

·        I got the most amazing jumper; it has my little pony printed all over it! I saw this and hawk dived for it! RRP £10.

·        I also got a hoody because I like them and I think that’s a good reason to buy something. RRP £8.

·        A black pair of converse/plimsole type shoes RRP £6.

·        Two pairs of frilly socks RRP £1.50 each.

·        I got this cute little earring set, as I’m not overly keen on big massive things in my ears, I’ll be honest, I prefer more modest ear jewellery. RRP £2

And there it is all of my goodies that i got on my shopping adventure i feel like i conquered my shopping depression and became a knight of all i own haha!
