Light up your Lips!

First of all i want to say sorry for the lack of posting. Things have been seriously busy here and so I've just not had a moment.
Hope everyone is getting in the festive spirit. For me Xmas is a great time to use up some of my shimmery products that have been hiding in the back of my cupboards and after a little dig around i found these gorgeous lip glosses from GOSH.


These stunning glosses are perfect for the party season with the added little mirror on the side and the applicator lights up for on the go glamour. 


Swatches:


Shades 01 & 03

Shades 04 & 08

Shade 05

Its really hard to capture the beauty of these dazzling glosses on camera they are really eye catching


08 directly on the lips

For me the true beauty of these glosses come to life when added under a lipstick


01 on top of  Mac Creme Cup

04 on top of Revlon  Pink Pout

05 on top of Estee Lauder Coral

These glosses are available from Superdrug RRP £7.99 and currently 342 so a bargain. What will you be wearing on your lips for the party season?

Friday Night Little Brown Dress!

Last night we went to a wedding reception party and so thought I'd show you my makeup and outfit choice for the night. I decided to wear a dress that i purchased a while ago and had never had the chance to wear.
I got this dress off a little stall in my local market but I've been told it's an All Saints copy.



Wooden Bangles Top Shop

Shoes Forever21

Nails OPI Metro Chic

For my makeup i used Gosh foundation and concealer. Sleek Oh so Special palette and gosh special effects powder eyeshadow. Jemma Kid blusher and bronzer and Gosh Lipgloss


Neutral shades on the eyes with a bit of shimmer and false lashes

 Rosy Cheeks!

I've worn so little makeup these past few weeks that i really enjoyed getting a bit glammed up and i had a great night. I'm really pleased with my DIY hair colour as it has faded a little bit as you can see from the photos and i Love the colour it is now :)

Today i will probably just be chilling out with the kids, wearing jeans and a vest top in fact i cant wait to put my comfy shoes on after wearing heels for a night ha.
Enjoy your weekend & thanks for reading xx

July Favourites & Empties!

Morning lovely ladies. I'm quite pleased with my empties for July. I seem to be on a bit of a roll with this using something before starting another milarki.
Anyway here are my used up products:

Empties!

Burts Bees Baby Wash & Shampoo: Love this product its so gentle and mild and useful for the whole family.

Liz Earle Energising body lotion: Its rare i use up a body lotion but this one is amazing. I have been slapping it on hips, bum and the tops of my arms and tummy area so there is no wonder its all gone. A definite re buy.

No7 Eye Make Up Remover: A great product, removes waterproof mascara easily. I will re buy this at some point but have quite a few others i want to try first. Just started on the botanics one for now.

Skin Science Bio Active Eye Contour: This tiny tube of amazingness is a product i am sad to have used up. Its Amazing. The prize tag on the other hand is just too steep for me £75. Still if you feel like a splurge then this is the one to go for. If you want to read more then check out my older post

Impulse body spray: I don't use body sprays very often I'm more of a perfume girl but i have enjoyed the freshness of this and it sort of reminds me of my youth for some reason.

Molton Brown Mini Coco De Mer Bath & Shower Gel: This was sent to me by the lovely Skin Scrubs and its the first Molten Brown product Ive used. It smells amazing and leaves skin super soft. Coconut fruit and honey made this the perfect holiday choice.

Now on to my Favourites



 L'Occitane Purifying Rice Toner

This does a great job of toning my skin and leaves it feeling really clean and silky to the touch. The smell of this is beautifully soothing and it contains salicylic acid which seems to help prevent my usual breakouts. This mini bottle is being used up at lightning speed.

Alpha H Liquid Gold

I have only recently started using this wonder product but i apply it at night and when i wake up my skin looks really glowy and smooth. I'm looking forward to seeing results after another month or so but loving it so far.

GOSH Lip Jam 107

There is nothing i dislike about this gloss, the colour looks great over any lippy, it smells quite strongly like bubblegum so not great if you don't like the smell. ( I happen to love it )
It has great staying power compared to most glosses too.

Caudalie Tinted Moisturiser

 I have been making the most of my tan and using this product to give it a boost. I adore this tinted moisturiser and will be doing a proper review soon. It's packed full of natural ingredients and it just gives an amazing glow to the skin. I get compliments on my skin when i wear this a lot :)

M2 Beaute Eyelash Growth System

I am nearing the end of these two products now and my lashes have never been as long before. I would undoubtedly recommend these as they have transformed my lashes from being the shortest stubby lashes to decent ones which to me has made a world of difference. I have reviewed here but another one coming soon with final results.

 Maybelline The Falsies Volume Mascara very Black

A great mascara for really black lashes. It can be a bit clumpy if I'm not careful but brilliant for big lashes and added drama. I've been wearing this nearly everyday and the more i use it the more i like it. Full review coming soon.


Makeup Forever High Definition Powder

I'd forgotten how brilliant this powder is. I love this powder because it is so invisible on the skin but just gives a beautiful polished finish. So lightweight and keeps skin shine free and keeps it looking ultra natural. Well worth the price tag. This has lasted me forever but I'm afraid i am nearing the end of the pot.

Thanks for reading if you got this far lol. As always feel free to leave a comment or a link to your favourites too xx

GOSH! What a face!

If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know that i really like a lot of the GOSH products and so today while i was looking through my collection i noticed i had nearly enough products to do a full face look all from GOSH.

GOSH what a face :)

Products used:
X-ceptional Wear foundation
Precious Powder Pearls (Bronzer)
Single shadows in Coral & Grey/brown
Long lasting brow pen Mahogany
Velvet touch eyeliner in metallic brass
Touch up concealer in shade 2
Brilliant gloss in shade 84 



The eyebrow pen is a little dark for me but still the concept is brilliant and makes filling brows in really easy


Finished look:


The only product i don't have in the GOSH range is a mascara, i must do something about that.

All products were purchased by myself except for the lip gloss and the coral eyeshadow which i won on a facebook competition.

I will try and review the foundation at some point if anyones interested as its rather good and photographs really well too.
Do you any certain product ranges that you can do a full face makeup with?
