Sleek Mascara Review!

I received the latest Sleek Mascara "Lash Out" a while back and i have been using it ever since. 

The packaging is Bright pink with a type of graffiti look.

Available from Superdrug or online for £7.00 which is a very reasonable price in my opinion

The brush is rather large but it does do a nice job of separating the lashes and the colour is a really good Jet Black. 

 

I was going to show you a photo of 1 and 2 coats but instead i thought I'd show you how it looks with 3 thin coats as that's how Ive been wearing it.

It's a great mascara for people like me who need a nice thick formula for added definition and it can go a bit clumpy at times if I'm not careful but overall the formula works really well and as i said before Ive been reaching for it everyday as its quick to apply and adds a nice amount of definition for my daily look

Have you tried this mascara out yet?

BM Beauty Lash Curling Mascara!

I love a good Mascara, my lashes are really short, stubby and fine so mascara is a must have product in my makeup routine. 

Recently i had the chance to try out the BM Beauty Lash Curling Mascara in Black and i wanted to show you the results.

The Mascara itself is infused with minerals and contains Beeswax, sunflower oil and vitamin E. 

I always like to know whats in my products and this one luckily contains lots of natural, good for you skin friendly stuff.

The wand is a nice size and slightly tapered towards the end. I found it easy to control and managed to get a good full coating without any smudging.

I did find it curled my lashes nicely and the curl did last well. I would use this mascara for daytime use as it didn't have much thickening action going on but it did dramatically darken the lashes as the colour is a true dark black and it did make my lashes appear longer. 

I am really impressed by the results on my lower lashes as it seems to have separated them and made them look a lot more defined.

Overall i like this mascara and lets be honest if it does this to my feeble lashes then I'm sure it will look fantastic on most people.

Priced at £12 and available directly from the BM Beauty Website here

Caudalie Tinted Moisturiser !

Since i came back from my holidays i have been loving my tinted moisturisers. I have had a few people ask me to review this one by Caudalie which i picked up from TK Max a while ago.

Caudalie Tinted Moisturiser £15.30 Feelunique.com

This comes in 2 shades Fair/Medium or Dark

Blended swatches!

The first thing i have to say is if you are fair skinned i cannot imagine either of these shades working for you which is a shame as its a brilliant product but really needs a lighter colour as well.

The Dark shade is really dark as you can see from the swatch on my face below & perfect for those with a tan or natural olive complexions.

However once blended it looks like this:

 With some natural makeup added!

The Caudalie Tinted moisturiser is brilliant for enhancing a tan. You don't get any streaking or orange tones ( Providing you choose the right colour)
It looks so natural and really gives a gorgeous healthy glow to my skin. It feels ultra lightweight and not at all sticky.

Perfect for when you get back from a holiday and you want to enhance the colour a little bit but without adding bronzing powders etc.

There is little coverage so if you have any visible spots then concealer is a must with this and its great for sensitive skins as it's full of natural ingredients and free from toxins such as parabens etc.

This is the first product from the Caudalie range that i have tried and I'm really impressed. Has anyone else tried anything from this range?

Lush Charlotte Island Review!

I don't know about you girls but if I'm going out somewhere and showing off my legs i always feel better with a bit of a tan. I usually have applied fake tan before hand but it's always nice to give it that extra bit of a boost. I've not really tried a lot of wash off tanners simply because I'm always scared they might rub off on my clothes so this was a bit of a first for me.

Lush Charlotte Island Body Tint (£5.25 for 100g / £10.50 for 250g)

The lotion itself smells gorgeous which is most likely due to the fact that it contains lashings of Cocoa Butter and Aloe Vera to Moisturise and soothe the skin as well as a bit of a shimmer which is really flattering.

The colour looks really dark in the bottle but once its blended in it is quite subtle and just gives a healthy look to the skin but takes it up a shade or two.

Blended!

The test for me was applying it on my legs when wearing this white dress and i am pleased to say that it didn't rub off at all so i am pretty impressed and can see me using this a lot when i go out.

Charlotte Island can be used on any part of the body and Ive even had a few people tell me that they use it on there face. So great for holidays or makeup free days when you want a bit of a glow.

Also a great product for helping to cover thread veins and blemishes and even out any redness on the skin.

I'm actually kicking myself for not trying this before now.

Have you used this product before and if not are you tempted to give it a go?

Red Lips & Pink Hearts!

I was recently sent a few products to review from Eyeko. I have not tried many of the Eyeko products so i was curious to try them out and have a little play.

Liptastik Glossy Pen £6.50

Loudmouth & Lip Lover

Lip Lover & Loudmouth

These fat twist up lip colours are beautiful and highly pigmented. You draw on the lipline and fill in leaving a glossy full on colour. Really easy to use and rather gorgeous

Loudmouth is a lovely full on bright red!

Lip Lover is a hot pink!

Then we have the perfect compliment to the bold lips in the Graffiti Eyeliner Pen £5.50

 I usually use a cream liner and brush and its been ages since i tried a pen liner so i was surprised at how easy it was to use this. Great for fine lines as well as the more dramatic thick lines, flicks or wings. I've found myself reaching for this most days as it seems much quicker and easier to use when im rushing about.

Have you tried any of these products available online directly from Eyeko xx

Rimmel Lasting Foundation 25hrs Rave Review

Hi there lovelies, i know a few of you have already tried this foundation out, but for those of you who haven't i wanted to do a quick review as I'm really impressed.

I read so many mixed reviews on this foundation. Some people love it some hate it. I heard it was really thick and greasy, i read some reviews on boots saying it had no coverage ???
It's on offer at boots just now for just £5 so i thought i would try it for myself.
I have seen so many adverts for this stuff plus the fact that miss jones  gave such a positive review was  reason enough for me to have a dabble.



I picked up shade 200 soft beige as i have not been wearing any fake tan lately and it actually matched my skin perfectly. The shades are a little bit hit and miss so if you are very fair you may struggle getting a colour as the lightest seems quite dark in my opinion.

DAY 1
The first time i wore it i used a really really small amount and buffed it in well with my flat top sigma brush. I applied it immediately after moisturising so the slip of the moisturiser helps blend it into my skin.

These first two photos were taken with no concealer, no powder or bronzer

I love the results. It looks so natural and feels lovely and fresh on the skin. It leaves a slightly dewy look and really covers any redness, imperfections and blends so easily. ( it helps that the colour is perfect )

The foundation lasted all day but i did find my nose area went a bit shiny after about 7 hrs which is not really a problem as such but thought I'd point it out anyway.


 DAY 2
The next day i applied the foundation in the same way but just slightly more. Nearly 1 full pump to be exact lol
I then applied my Mac Skinfinish powder with a big soft brush and applied a little ELF bronzer to warm my complexion up a bit. Again no concealer.

This time the foundation lasted from first thing in the morning till about 8pm before i noticed a shiny nose. I really love how it looks on my skin and it photographs pretty nicely too.
I nipped into boots while wearing it and my friend on the Estee Lauder counter asked me what i was wearing and was shocked when i told her :)

It is very similar to Estee Lauder Double wear and it also reminds me slightly of Revlon colourstay which i also really like except i find colourstay can be a bit cakey looking sometimes and this is not.

If you are looking for a new foundation then i would seriously give this some consideration.
Rimmel have gone up a rank in my books after trying this. This is an ideal foundation for both day wear or an evening out. I will be getting in a darker shade as well so when i wear my fake tan i can still use it. Thumbs up Rimmel.
