Lime Crime Coquette.

Hello friends, 

At the beginning of March I decided to try out the brand Lime Crime. I'd heard so many good things about their lipsticks from other bloggers so I thought I'd give one a try! I got the lipstick in the shade Coquette. It's one of there more wearable shades of the range! 

They are a bit cheaper than Mac at around £12.50 (still not cheap) and the packaging is really bomb! ;-)

 

Lime Crime prides themselves on the premise that their products are cruelty free and vegan friendly. They have a wild variety of shades from bright yellow to black lip shades! They also do other makeup products like eyeshadow and pigments.

 

I'm not the type of person that can pull off wacky shades so i do tend to stick to my comfort zones when it comes to lips! (Nude, nude, nude) 

Even a red can look too OUT there on me sometimes! 

In the tube it appears quite orange but on the lips its more of a muted coraly nude and it's gorgeous!! The formula is very thick and opaque, definitely a matte/satin finish and can look quite drying if you've got dry lips so exfoliating is key!

I really love this lipstick and I'm so glad I bought it! I can't wait to collect more of them! 

I bought it from a website called Love makeup and this guy was hard to get hold of! 

What shade should I try next?

Benefit Cheeky Sweet Pot - Christmas Palette

Hi guys,
It's been about 3 months i know! I've been super busy and i just haven't really bought any new makeup since my birthday so I'm making up for my absence now ;)

So yesterday was pay day and naturally that means I have to go out and spend all my wages on MORE makeup! 

I love this time of year when the weather starts to get crisp and cold and the shelves start to stock up with all the Christmas bits! 

When i went to Debenhams I came across Benefit's gorgeous new Christmas deals. I was going there to pick up Hoola bronzer as I've never tried it, when the sales woman came over and won me over with this "Cheeky Sweet Pot" palette! You get 5 blushers, one bronzer, a brush and a highlighter. Can we just take a moment for the packaging please! It is bomb! It's reminds me of a sort of gingerbreadesque styled house. I Blooming love it! 

The products include Dandelion, Bella Bamba, Sugarbomb, Coralista, Rockateur, Hoola and Watt's Up!
I already have Rockateur and I love it so so much, so the fact that I've got a backup now is awesome and i went in to try Hoola anyway, so for £26.55 I've got 6 blushers for the price of one!

Now they're not full sizes but most of them are 5oz and a full size is generally 8oz! 
This way i can try them all and pick my faves! 
It was originally £29.50 but Debenhams had 10% off which swayed me more! 

Overall loving this purchase and i feel that it's real value for money! 


Hope you enjoyed this post!

"I felt like I'd had a chemical peel" Clearasil's Rapid ActionTreatment Cream Review!

Hey Guys!

So i know not long ago i did a post on my current skin care routine, but i just needed to update y'all on something. 

I recently had the most intense reaction to the Clearasil rapid action treatment cream and i kid you not i felt like my skin was coming off! 

I was in so much pain! I don't know what it was but there is clearly something in this stuff that burns like hell! 

I always thought it had a funny smell to it when i used it and when i wrote my post i wasn't really raving about it as i was still trying it out but Oh my goodness! If you have sensitive skin or just skin in general i would definitely never recommend this product! 

Within 10 minutes my naturally red skin went bright red like a tomato! I felt like I'd had a chemical peel... my skin looked like it was coming off, it itched, burnt... everything you can think of in a reaction it did! 

I just found it so infuriating that something that claims to help calm your skin did the exact opposite! 

I don't like being negative but i think its important to be honest as not every product is all sunshine and rainbows!

Until next time...
