Topshop - Head Over Heels...

Topshop Blush in Head Over Heels £6.00

I'v always heard good things about Topshop makeup and one shopping trip whilst mooching around the makeup section in Topshop I finally decided to take the plunge and invest in some Topshop makeup for myself.  I was pulled in by the gorgeous colours, the pretty packaging and not to mention the amazing price tags!!

After swatching the various blushes my local Topshop had to offer, I decided on 'Head Over Heels' (I just love the names that topshop have for all their beauty products!). Its a lovely coral colour, I know it looks quite bright in the picture but once blended into the skin, is a lovely muted pinky coral colour.

This is a lightweight cream to powder blush that melts into the skin giving a natural luminous and radiant finish. Applied onto the apples of your cheeks, its perfect for that rosy glow.

To me, its unscented and for someone with sensitive skin, it hasn't broken me out yet - winner!  I'm defo going to be checking out more of the Topshop makeup line! Iv already got my eye on a few more things!

Origins: Out Of Trouble Mask...

 

Origins Out Of Trouble 10 Minute Mask - £20.00 

 



I suffer with combination skin - normal skin, I have an oily t-zone and normal to dry cheeks.  The past month or so, my t-zone has gone into over drive and iv had some breakouts on my forehead and chin *sad face*! I needed some help!

I was scouring the blogesphere to see what remedies I could find and the word on the street was that Origins was THE go-to skin care brand! I do have quite sensitive skin also, so I needed to find a brand that was gentle.

After scouring the Origins website, I came across this ...I also came across a few other things, but I will leave them for another post!...lets just say im glad I hit the purchase button!

It looks almost creamy but it has that clay mask texture, if you know what I mean! lol its got a sort of chalky feeling about it. I t applies easily and the great thing about this is you leave it on for 10 minutes and it actually drys in 10 minutes, none of that waiting around, is it dry, is it not dry nonsense! after 10 minutes I wipe this off with a muslin cloth and warm water.

After this mask, I really noticed a difference in the areas that I applied it to! They were no longer an oily mess and its really helped my break outs, my skin feels fresher, slightly toned and it helped dry out any blemishes I had.

I would totally recommend this product! I only apply this to my t-zone, I wouldn't recommend this if you had dry skin as I think this would dry it out even more, this is defo one for more oily skin types. I use this once ever 2 or 3 weeks and I defo notice an improvement after iv used it! In case you were wondering, it does have a fragrance to it, it has a herbaly tea tree type of smell, I kinda like it tho so it doesn't bother me! You also get 100ml of product, I know Origins can be quite expensive, so in my opinion, I think the £20 price tag isn't actually that bad!

If you can, I defo recommend picking up a sample of this stuff to try out!

Hope all you lovelies had a great Monday!

I think its safe to say im in a full blown love affair with Missguided at the moment lol! tempted by the goodies above? seriously go check their site out!!

Hope all you beauts are having a great week!

 

The Eyelash Icon!...

The Shu Uemura eyelash curlers... a total icon in the beauty industry!

Id never really splashed out on eyelash curlers before, I'm ashamed to say it now, but my pair before these were a pair of Primark's finest lol! It wasn't until that pair crumpled in my hands one morning that it was time to invest in a pair!

The day my poor primarni pair broke, i was browsing on Buyapowa and spotted this beaut, i decided that it was fate and needless to say, i immediately clicked the "join co-buy" button... and haven't looked back since! ;) lol

They-re quick sturdy, but i find they create such a nice curl in my lashes that lasts. Once my eyelashes are in the curlers I give them a couple of "pumps", if you know what i mean lol, an it make my eyelashes really pop!

I cant remember how much i paid for these bad boys, but they regularly feature on Buyapowa, so if your in the market from a pair of eyelash curlers, id highly recommend checking that site out... actually, go check it out anyway, you can score some amazing bargains!! lol

Hope all you beauts out there are having a great week!

 

L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer...

The L'Oreal Lumi Magique Primer is a light replenishing base which illuminates the skin. It may be used as a base or alone. A fresh, light and silky soft formula that provides 8 hours of hydration.

I first spotted this on Beauty & Le Chic and would swatch it every time I went into Boots, but never bought it as I already have a few highlighters in my collection. Well, needless to say, when Boots had their promotion of L'Oreal products on a 3 for 2 offer, I couldn't resit picking it up! & Im so glad I did!!

 

 

This has become a staple in my morning makeup routine! I don't use this as an all over primer, more as a highlighter and also use it under my eyes, I also occasionally mix this together with my foundation to give my skin and extra boost. I also do find this primer to be quite hydrating on my skin, and with the the air-con blasting out at work at the moment, my skin needs every extra bit moisture it can get!!

 

As someone with sensitive skin, this doesn't irritate or break me out, and gives my skin a real glow. I picked mine up in the Boots 3 for 2 offer, but this usual retails for around £9.99. Its a product that id totes recommend! Iv swatched the foundation from the Lumi Magique line but the colours just don't suit my skin tone, but id love to try out their highlighting concealer next!.
