Models Own Matt Brite Pink Hawaiian Lippy Love!

I knew from the moment i saw this lipstick that i had to have it. Pink Hawaiian captures the tropical shade perfectly and its a definite must have lippy for the summer. 

 One word LOVE!

The shade is matte but somehow it doesn't have any of the drying tendencies that a lot of the matte lipsticks seem to have. It doesn't sit in the lines and best of all it seriously lasts. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the most long lasting lipstick that i now own.

I knew as soon as i saw this lipstick that it was going to be a beauty. A seriously bright shocking pink/coral shade that cannot fail to stand out in the crowd.

I picked this shade for a night out on the town and i have been wearing it even since.

I picked mine up in boots for just £6 or you can order it on line here. I cant wait to try more colours in this formula I've got my eye on orangeade which is a bright orange colour. Roll over MAC xx

Soaps Away!

At the beginning of the the week i decided i was going to try my hand at Cold Process Soaping. If you follow me on Face Book you will have seen that i have made soap before but the Cold Process is a totally different method and one I'd been a bit scared of to be honest.

So i have spent quite a few hrs researching different recipes and ingredients and i decided to go with a recipe from a brilliant book i have recently purchased called A Green Guide to Natural Beauty by Karen Gilbert.

To say I'm really pleased with the results is a bit of an understatement, in fact I'm amazed at how well it came out.

I used a combination of Sweet  Orange Oil & May Chang Essential Oils and it smells deliciously fresh and citrusy.

In the mould

I read that Cold Process can really fade colours so i made sure i used a strong Orange and when it was first in the mould i really wasn't sure.

After making it you need to wait until it firms up enough to cut it so i waited over night

I also had a little left over soap so i made a mini loaf which i can give to friends and family.

Before i started making my own products i had no idea there were different types of soaps. This one contains Coconut Oil, Sunflower oil and olive oil but you can use all types of butters and oils to vary the end results.

The only downside of making CP soap is the fact you have to wait about 6 weeks before using it which for an impatient person like me is hell.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend. PS these are not for sale they are all for meeeeee and a few family members xx

Foundation Free!

The sun is shining and my basic skin care routine seems to be working great still :) So today i am foundation free. In fact for the last week or so i have not worn foundation most days and enjoying the fresh faced feel.

My skin has never looked better and i cant believe how fast i have gone from spotty to glowy with just two products. If you missed my skincare post its here .

I have been using just 2 products lately and am thrilled with the results.

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine xxx

Feeling hot with Mavala!

Pretty polishes are everywhere and with so much choice out there it makes it hard to decide which brand to try next. Luckily for me i was sent a few of the Mavala shades to try out for myself in 3 stunning shades

Priced at just £4.30 each the polishes are affordable for everyone and the quality is salon standard at a high street price. I used Mavala years ago when i was training as a nail technician and loved the products back then but had forgotten about them so pleased to have had a reminder.

Waikiki Orange

(A stunning orange/coral that would look amazing with a tan)
