Lip Tint Beauty

As much as I love lip sticks, I also have a big weakness for lip stains. Trying out various colours from multitudes of brands and finally coming across this beauty from Xtras Online

 The pigment is so strong, it goes on lovely and because it has a pen nib you can paint the exact shape of your lips to give yourself that perfect arch.

Another bonus about this lip tint, on the other end there is a clear gloss/balm that you can apply after the colour to keep lips shiny and full of colour.

Definitely one of my favourites.

Make Me Shine

For a little while now I've been a little bit obsessed with body shimmers. With Rihanna's skin looking effortlessly radiant all the time there must be a way to achieve this for the every day girl.

This body shimmer goes on with a very light texture and feels like a moisturizer. With a gold shimmer that will look stunning on both pale and tanned skin this is a real winner for me. 

I used it on my legs for a night out and the difference was amazing, it gave my legs more definition and generally just made me feel great as my legs were sparkling.

Where can you find this product I hear you ask... Marks and Spencer!!!

Flawless Nivea Hydration Primer

I really do love Nivea products, their skin care is not only professional but you don't end up spending a fortune for clear and beautiful skin.

I already had a few Nivea products so when I heard that they were bringing out a primer I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

Firstly the packaging is lovely, appreciating the light pink.

The texture of the primer is like nothing I've ever felt before... it's super lightweight and on application feels almost water like on my face. It reminds me of a moisturizer by the smell but you can definitely tell that its a primer; smoothing out my complexion and after a few days of use my skin looks brighter.

It is really great under make up, making foundation and concealer application effortless. I have tried a few primers before but they've never been like this one. I skip the moisturizer in the morning now and apply this beauty for some 2 in 1 goodness.

Eyebrow Envy

I am so thankful that the beauty and fashion world has taken on the trend of big brows over the past few years. With the scouse brow also taking to the spotlight, there has been a pathway paved for women to grow their brows without shame.

From Cara Delevingne to Camilla Belle its time to embrace fuller, bolder brows for 2013.

 My weapon of choice has been Rimmel London's Professional Eyebrow Pencil, it provides precision with a high pigment formulas for full and evenly coloured eyebrows.

Start by lining the bottom and top of your brow, following a straight line that also shapes and defines your face.

Follow on from these lines by joining them together and drawing the arch of your brow. Keep this line straight and finish just before you become level with you eye.

Finally, corner off the inside of the brow, keeping it square like mine or rounding it off for a softer look. The last thing to do now is to fill in the inside of your drawn on lines. 

Liz Earle Love

A few years ago my Auntie bought me some Liz Earle skincare and I wasn't quite old enough to appreciate how amazing this stuff was...until this Christmas.

I opened my present to find a beautiful Liz Earle Travel set and I was so excited.

The set contains a body wash, body cream, moisturizer, skin tonic and cleanser as well as a pure muslin cloth.

Skin Repair Moisturizer Light – Combination/oily

This was my favorite product from the kit, a light moisturizer containing Vitamin E, Borade and Avocado oils . After using this for a week I've already noticed a difference in the brightness of my complexion. This moisturizer works great as a base before foundation and the pump provides you with a small amount perfect for each section of your face.

Instant Boost Skin Tonic

I've only recently started using skin toners and after having used this Skin Tonic this is by far my favorite. It leaves my skin feeling fresher and my complexion smoother, containing calendula, chamomile, cucumber and natural source vitamin E 

Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash

This Body Wash smells amazing with an uplifting citrus scent that works great for a wake up shower. With a slight foam to it, it washes on perfect and leaves your skin feeling softer and smelling great throughout the day.

Nourishing Botanical Body Cream

Beautiful to put on, this Body Cream is one of the best I've ever tried. Containing Shea Butter, Avocado oil, Echinacea and Hops extracts you can feel the quality that's been put into this professional skin care product.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser

This is amazing in the morning but is equally as nice in the evening, this Cleanser claims to work on two levels to cleanse and polish your skin. After using it the first time my skin really did feel fresher and although I wasn't sure about how it would leave my skin polished it did look smoother and softer.

Pure Muslin Cloths

The first set of Muslin Cloths I've ever tried and I loved them. I usually just use a face wipe to clean my face but using these cloths has changed my life. They exfoliate your skin to leave it soft whilst removing all of your make up.

Perfume Crush

Throughout the years every girl goes through a number of perfumes. Frequently changing as you grow up and gain more experiences. 

For me I've gone through Tommy Girl, DKNY Be Delicious and even Katie Price Besotted. But now my love has moved on to Versace Yellow Diamond. Discovering how amazing this perfume was when a free sample was given to me at work, I had to go out and buy myself the real thing and it's one of those smells I spray on my pillow because its that good.

Not only does the bottle look beautiful, with an enlarged yellow diamond like lid, but with its light floral scents of Bergamot and Neroli infused with a pear sorbet.
