The Urban Decay Naked Three Palette | Review

The Naked 3 Palette has been on my wish list since it came out, and so when I unwrapped it on my birthday, its safe to say my mum instantly received the honour of the 'best present' award. Although it has received a few mixed views, I love it, and have been wearing it non stop since I got it.  If you're considering getting it, it is a lot of money to part with, but for the quality of the shadows, you're getting good quality for money. 

Strange - A beautiful matte peachy shade, perfect for an under the brow or inner-corner highlight. 

Dust - Certainly lives up to its name, the only shade that worries me slightly, as fall down is almost unavoidable! However it's a gorgeous light pink shimmery shade, beautifully nude and perfect for spring.

Burnout - A perfect pastel pink, matte shade that would be lovely for a very simple nude crease colour.

Limit - Another matte pink shade, lovely for an every day, natural look. A perfect shade to warm up your crease for a simple, everyday look. 

Buzz - A slightly darker pink, with a gorgeous shimmer running through it. This shade is definitely up my street, I love shimmer and I love nudes. Perfect combo. 

Trick - A gorgeous pinky-copper shade, perfect for a night out or a dressy makeup look. A hint of bronze shimmer running through it, making it a gorgeous shade for green eyed gals.

Nooner - A matte browny-pink shade, which I know I'll be getting a lot of use out of! One sweep of the beauty, and you've got yourself a fuss-free defined eye look. 

Liar - The first metallic shade, with a hint of both mauve and browns. I would definitely sport this shade on a night out.

Factory - A very similar shade to Liar, however slightly darker with a pinky undertone.

Mugshot - A mixture of Liar & Factory, a taupe/silver metallic shade. 

Darkside - A very deep dark purple, highly pigmented, and perfect for a smoky eye. Very matte, and a brilliant crease colour. 

Blackheart - My favourite from this palette. A matte black colour, perfect for a smoky eye. It has a gorgeous 'rosy red micro-sparkle' running through it, which makes this colour completely unique to my eye-shadow collection. 

All in all, Naked 3 is definitely my favourite palette I own, with colours to suit every day to nights out! Look out for a post coming soon of the looks I've created using this palette! Have you jumped on this pink, shimmery bandwagon yet?

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation | Review

This foundation is the best foundation I have ever used. Yes, it is the most expensive foundation I own but it is also the foundation that has actually made people comment on the look of my skin; something that has never ever happened to me before!

Although it's name says 'sheer', the coverage is actually pretty high. I had the impression by it's name that this was going to be a low coverage base for just concealer and powder, but this product is great for evening out skin tones and covering blemishes. This product makes my skin look dewy with a perfect finish, and even though I have oily/combination skin, this product doesn't slide or move and it doesn't highlight my oily or dry areas.

The only down side to this product is the packaging. Although when you first buy it the packaging looks classy and neat, it doesn't stay this way. For one, this product doesn't come with a pump, making it hard to get the right amount of product out. This also means that the lid (that dirt seems to love to stick to) gets dirty very quickly. However the product inside the packaging makes up for this, and it is a product I will repurchase again and again.

You can buy Nars Sheer Glow here for £30.50 - let me know your thoughts!

Maybelline Baby Lips | Review

L-R: Cherry Me, Intense Care, Peach Kiss, Pink Punch. Buy them here.

I have known about the hype for these 'babies' pretty much since 2013 began, and so when I was in the USA in March they were the first things I rushed to get! I bought Peach Kiss and Cherry me, and despite the million other lip products I brought with me, these are all I wore for the entire trip! After returning to UK I wished I'd bought more colours or 'flavours' if you like, so I was pretty excited when they were released into Boots and I immediately went out and bought more!

Cherry Me has a sheer red finish, giving your lips a bit of colour whilst keeping them hydrated & soft. It smells like cherries, surprise surprise and I love wearing this on an everyday basis just for a subtle bit of colour!

Intense Care has a very subtle tropical scent, but to be honest, it's so subtle I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't made a point of smelling the product for the purpose of this post. It's a clear balm, making your lips slightly shiny, without changing the colour of your lips. It nourishes the lips, and the packaging makes it really easy to apply and carry around in your make up bag.

Peach Kiss is my favourite from the range. The scent is gorgeous, a sweet, subtle peach scent, and the balm gives your lips a shimmery nude finish, again as well as nourishing and moisturising your lips.

Pink Punch has a less shiny and more apparent finish to the lips. Again, it is hydrating, giving your lips a bit of colour without being too dramatic. I love how this makes my lips feel and the colour pay off is really great for a lip balm!

All of these balms are very moisturising, claiming to keep your lips hydrated for up to eight hours! The packaging is great, bright colours making it perfect for spring and summer, and for brightening up the winter! All of the Baby Lips range are a great addition to any make up bag, and won't make a dent in your bank account! They are available in Boots and Superdrug for £2.99, and are often on a 3 for 2 offer!

What do you think of the Baby Lips? Are they worth the hype?

Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips | Review

I have never used anything from the Biore Range before these nose strips, so this is not in any way a review for the brand as a whole. I purchased these 'nose strips' from Superdrug whilst they were on sale for £5 (usually they are £7.99) because I seriously needed to find a way to clear up the blackheads on my nose. Disgusting I know, but what do you expect from a post relating to nose strips! I had heard good things about the brand, but as I mentioned, had never tried anything from their range before, so decided to add them to my basket and before I knew it, the postman brought them to my house ready for me to try.

The strips came with easy to follow instructions which made the whole 'nose strip' process (which is new to me, I'll admit) surprisingly easy. You first wet your nose, I just wetted a flannel and held it on my nose for a while, and (obviously) after removing the plastic, just placed it on my nose, sticky/smooth side down. One thing I will say, I get the feeling I placed mine a little to high, because the strip was a little too close to the thin skin under your eye for comfort, so bear this in mind when applying yours!

I then spent a happy ten minutes watching some of my favourite youtubers...wonderfulyou, lily mel rose & fleurdeforce to name a few... and then came the most exciting moment of it all; the peel.

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I peeled it off, but something I was not expecting, is that it was actually a little bit painful. To be fair, this could be due to me placing it too high, or just not being careful enough, but I put on my bravest face and peeled off the strip. Now I don't mean to make anyone feel queasy, but I could literally see the blackheads being pulled out of my skin. No pain no gain has never been truer. The results were brilliant! The strip was not the prettiest beauty product I've owned once I'd finished with it, but the skin around my nose looked so much clearer. Not only has it helped my appearance, but this product has been great for keeping my oily tendencies at bay!

Would I purchase again?
Definitely. This is not a product I will be using on a daily basis, but yes I will definitely be repurchasing! You can buy them here from Superdrug.

Hope this was useful for some of you, let me know what you think of nose strips!

Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs | Review

I have to admit, this perfume being my first ever, I don't really have anything to compare it to. However, even if I did, I don't think much would compare, as I have never smelt anything so beautiful in all my life! It is a 'fun, floral and youthful fragrance' (according to www.fragrancedirect.co.uk) and I think these three words describe it perfectly! I have never been great at describing scents, but I can tell you that wearing this makes me feel fresh and girly, and for only £52, I will definitely be repurchasing over and over!

Not only is the scent something nice for your nostrils, might I just delight over how beautiful the bottle is? This is kind of a two in one, a perfume and a gorgeous decoration for your bedroom!

If you haven't smelt this already, then you really need to! 

Let me know what you think,

July Glossybox | Review

Okay, so I'll admit, I'm a little bit behind with being excited about the July Glossy box. To be fair, I did only receive it today because I've been away, so that will be my excuse! This is the first Glossy box I've ever had, and I just ordered one to try it out, so this will also be a first impressions video I guess!

 I thought the selection was great that I received in my box, but my favourite things were the Sleek Pout Paints, which I received in Pinkini and Lava. Without even looking at the rest of my box, I had tried them both on (yeah, I guess my lips didn't appreciate all the Bioderma...) and loved them. Out of all the other colours available, these were the two shades I would have chosen as they are both really vibrant (literally neon), but so much easier to wear than I originally thought they would be.

Lava

Pinkini

 The next thing to catch my attention was the Ciate Nail Polish in 'The Glossip'. I got a couple of mini samples of these polishes in one of the many magazines I read (I think it was Marie Claire...), but haven't as yet tried them because the colours was a nudey brown and a type of glitter - neither of which I'm that into. However 'The Glossip' is a coral pink, which I love! Definitely more my colour, and I cannot wait to try it on my nails. I've already swatched it on a nail wheel, and think the colour is amazing, one coat is enough and the application is super easy!

I can't say much for the other three items, I will need to test them out properly and get back to you! However I can tell you that the Anatomicals Facial Spritz smells gorgeous! It's really fresh and relaxing; lavender and peppermint scented, and it smells really great.
The other two items were the Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist, and the Coola Classic Face SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturiser, but as I said, I will review them properly once I've tested them!

I probably will purchase another Glossybox. I think the products were all great, and definitely value for money, (the two lip stains would have cost £9.98 outside of the glossy box, and I paid £10 for my box), it arrived looking beautiful and allows you to try products you wouldn't have otherwise. I think it's a great concept, but it will be something I do occasionally rather than every month. (Until I'm rich of course! ;-))

What are your opinions on the Glossyboxes?

The Body Shop - Vitamin E Face Mist

The Body Shop Face Mist - £8.00

With the weather heating up, a good face mist is a must, for me anyway. This one has not left my side for the whole time I've been on holiday, so I thought I should blog about it!

This spray is full of vitamin E; a vitamin known to protect and repair your skin - however, this is not just what I love about this product. Not only is the delicate rosewater scent calming and refreshing, but you can also use this over your make up, as it doubles as a makeup setting spray! I often find it difficult to refresh myself when I'm hot on holiday, because no-one wants panda eyes! Therefore having this do both, refresh you, and helping to keep your makeup in place is great for hot weather.

I would highly recommend this product - 10/10!

How do you refresh your skin in the heat?

B Pure Micellar Water - Review

B Pure Micellar Water

Any blogger, or blog reader will be fully aware of the 'hype' that is micellar water. Bioderma has been talked and talked about as the best makeup remover ever, and there is no denying that I love it! However, in the UK it can be a little hard to get hold of, which is wear B. Pure enters as a great alternative! 

Not only can you remove makeup (and eye makeup!) with this product, but it is also a 3-in-1 cleanser that tones and refreshes your skin as well.

This product is a great alternative for Bioderma, and a fair bit cheaper too at only £4.99! You just can't go wrong.

Have you tried this product? Did you like it just as much as Bioderma?
