NAKED!

Yesterday i got a parcel and it was a parcel i had been waiting for a whole week! Not long i know but when your looking forward to it the week drags on! So what was the parcel? Its was my Urban Decay Naked Palette!! It lived up to my expectations! Im actually in love with it, i love all the natural colours they’re colour i would wear on a daily basis.

What Urban Decay say about the product.. You can look great NAKED! This long, lean, seductive case is packed with TWELVE gorgeous neutrals. Shades range from delicate champagnes to dark, gritty gunmetal, and feature FIVE NEW shades with names like Darkhorse, Virgin and Buck. We've also included a range of textures: everything from glitter to shimmer to matte. The chocolaty velvet case is emblazoned with the word "NAKED" in gold foil lettering. The mirrored case also includes a professional quality, cruelty-free Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush, AND a travel-size Eye Shadow Primer Potion in original formula. Experiment with office-appropriate neutrals, summertime bronzy looks, or sultry smokiness. With such a diversity of neutral shades at your fingertips, there's more to neutral than meets the eye.

I think the product is exceedingly good value for money as i looked into it before i bought it. Each eye shadow is 1.3g when a single eye Shadow from Urban Decay is 1.5g and is priced around £13. So in this palette you get 12x 1.3g worth of eye Shadow which is exceptionally good. They are very pigmented and last hours on the lid especially when used with the Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion, you get a travel size sample of this in the kit which is a nice little bonus. Some people may see this as a downside that Urban Decay have only put three matte shades in this but personally i don’t! This palette also contains the ‘professional quality, cruelty-free good karma eye shadow brush.

Youthful Radiance!

For a while i have been ‘eyeing’ up- my mums Garnier Caffeine Anti-Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-On (what a mouthful!) and the other day i decided to try it and i honestly can’t believe i haven’t had my hands on this before! This product is amazzzing! This product comes in 4 different shades; Very fair, fair, medium and dark so I'm sure there is a shade to suit everyone's skin tone. This product sells for £10.20 at boots but is currently on offer for 2 for £12 on selected Garnier youthful radiance. Although i found this product for £7 at Asda so i suggest shopping around to find out the cheapest place to get it at!

Garnier claims the 2-in-1 formula is a moisturising eye cream & a cooling roller ball which refreshes and hydrates tired-looking eyes with mineral enriched pigments it instantly covers dark circles

Why i love it? I love this product because it makes my eyes completely flawless! After applying my foundation i apply the product and then blend it in with my fingers . I don’t have bad dark circles but i like how it gives the eyes a tidy look and completely blends in with my foundation. Its a complete must have Product. I really do recommend this product even after one use.

So today i went on a hunt to buy one and i noticed one on a market i went to for £5! Your all going to say i bet that's been used before blah but lots of stalls were selling them for £5 and i did double check the roll-on ball was concealer free, either way im happy with my bargain.

Can’t Go Shopping Without Spending Money..

Yesterday my mum decided to take me shopping as we hadn’t been for a while so whilst walking around we went to look in boots, and me being me i can never leave boots without buying something! So i went to look and the Lee Stafford range where id been looking at the ‘Sea Salt Spray’ for a while but i didn't know whether it would be worth the money as it was £7.49 for 150ml, but as i was looking i noticed a sign ‘3 for £12’ thats a bargain? 3 Lee Stafford products for £4 each is so cheap so i couldn’t resist. As well as buying the Sea Salt Spray i picked up ‘Hot Shots’ originally £7.19 and a pot of ‘Treatment For Hair That Never Grows Past A Certain Length’ which originally £7.99 as id also been looking to buy this for a while now and as it was the last one sitting on the shelf i couldn’t leave it there! So altogether i saved over £10 which i was rather happy with!

I really hope these products live up to the expectations i have of them! I will do reviews of all of them once i have tried and tested them, but if you’ve tried them let me know what you thought of them!
I also went into Outfit and picked up this super cute Freedom swallow necklace that i loved, loved it more when i saw it was £2.50 in the sale but when i paid for it it was £1.50! I can’t stop finding these bargains! Need-to-stop-spending!!!!

Baked-to-last

Today i have a little review for you of The Body Shops Baked To Last Blush. I love this blush, it sells for a resonable price of just £12 which i think is a very good price for the body shop. Baked products have seemed to be more popular over the last year and The Body Shop have introduced three products in there Baked-To-Last range. They include blush, bronzer and eye colour.

On to the blush and what The Body Shop say about it. ‘A blusher and a highlighter in a duo palette. Handmade and slow-baked on a terracotta disc, it gives up to eight hours of colour’

And what i think about it? I love this product! I love the fact its a 2-in-one product for the price of £12 i think that's just amazing from the body shop. Its a lovely colour, lasts a long time on the cheeks. The highlighter is brilliant for just under the brow aswell as mixed in with the blusher for the apples of my cheeks. This product does live up to standards and lasts longer than eight hours on my skin. I got this in shade 01 Petal which i think is just lovely, just enough pink to give my face a glow.
