Red Lips for Valentine's Day

 

I am a big fan of red lipsticks all year round but I especially love them in the winter and of course Valentine's Day. We never tend to do a lot on Valentine's Day but my one tradition is that I always wear red lipstick.

 

 

I have different red lipsticks depending on how I feel but here are my top 4 and one of these will be the one I wear this Sunday:

Rimmel Kate 107

 

Mac Ruby Woo

 

Mac - Mac Red

 

Loreal Blakes Red

Review: Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer

In my 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty post a few weeks ago I mentioned that I always forget to use primer and hadn't actually repurchased one since my GOSH one ran out. Well whilst I was in boots last week I picked up the Rimmel Fix & Perfect pro primer, I got it in 002 because its all they had which is a creamy colour but I think 001 may be clear but I'm not sure.

The consistency is nice and it feels nice on my skin which is good. Normally I can't see a difference when I use primer but this actually really compliments my foundation and makes it look flawless. I think in the summer I could possibly just use this instead of foundation as it does make my skin look really good.

The only negative point I have to make about this primer is the smell. It is quite strong and almost chemical ish. But you don't notice it when its on the skin so overall I really like this product and can see myself using it a lot this year.

You can but Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer at Boots for £6.99.

Have a great day girls!

Review: Montagne Jennesse Damask Rose

For my birthday I was given a tube of Montagne Jennesse Damask Rose so I thought I would do a quick review on it. I have tried different face masks from this company before but they have always been the ones in the sachets that are for one time use, so I thought having one in a tube was a good idea as it says on the packaging it contains up to 10 uses.

As you can tell this mask is in a rose flavour and says that it is an ultra deep cleansing masque. The formula is a thin cream/ lotion which smells amazing and I sat happily smelling the aroma for the 15-20 minutes it takes to dry. Once dried I just washed it off with warm water and my skin felt amazing! It was so soft and look really clean which I like from a mask.

Overall I really like this product and may even buy some different ones that do different things. It doesn't state on the packaging if the product is for dry or oily skin but I think you could use it whatever your skin type because it is just a nice treat to use to pamper yourself once a week.

Have a great day girls

Review: Garnier BB Cream

When I first heard Garnier were bringing out a BB cream I was very excited as I had heard great things about the BB creams and really wanted to try one. The cream is meant to be a miracle cream that offers 5 effects in one cream. The packaging states it will

1. Unify skin's complexion

2. Give a healthy glow

3.Leave skin luminous and radiant

4.Hide redness

5.Moisturise



The cream also has SPF15 in to help protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. So does it live up to all they hype? I have to say for me it didn't, I was so disappointed with this product. To start with it does not give any directions of use on the packaging so I just had to make it up as I went along. Another problem was the colour of the product, I brought the colour light but it makes me look orange and I have just got back off holiday so I have a tan and it still looks orange so I would hate to think what I would look like if I wore it when my tan fades. The biggest issue I have with the product though is that it made my skin so greasy that the rest of my make up just looked awful on top of it. I tried wearing it on its own and it gave me no real coverage just made me have greasy orange skin, I then tried using foundation over the top and it just looked horrible. I really wish I hadn't wasted £8 on this product because I am just so disappointed.

Of course this is just my opinion and you may really like this product but just beware of the negative points I have mentioned before you buy it. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with even the slightest oily skin as it will just make the problem even worse.There was however one thing I really did like about this product and that was the smell! It smells so good so I am going to see if any Garnier moisturisers smell the same because it is really nice. Sorry this is such a negative post but I like to always give honest reviews and unfortunately this product just wasn't right for me.

Have a great day girls
