Lush American Cream Conditioner Review

I have recently rekindled my love for Lush's American Cream. After a considerable over- use in my uni years which created quite a build up in my hair, one sniff last week on my visit to Lush and I was hooked yet again! The conditioner contains fresh strawberries and vanilla pod infusion which gives it, its dreamy scent, which luckily stays around for a few hours after washing. The conditioner is a fairly thick consistency and very moisturising ideal for me as my hair type is dry ( probably due to the repeated use of peroxide) so I'm able to use it liberally especially on the dry ends. If you have oilier hair you may find you only need to use a small amount of product. I'm definitely glad I repurchased this... oh how I've missed it!

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette Review

To be honest if you own this you could do away with all your other eyeshadows! It has everything you need whether its a subtle work look or a smoky eye for the evening. I do love a good matte shade they give a beautiful depth to the eye and gives a really polished and sophisticated look, and as ever with Urban Decay the pigmentation is fantastic and there's no chalky matte residue you can get with some matte shades. Since I've owned this I've worn it EVERYDAY its probably the best make up item I've ever purchased *chufty badge*  Also its so dinky so perfect for travel!

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

 

 

Om nom nom! Now, firstly I must tell you my lips are a pain, I'm constantly told off by the boy for picking them (I knows that sounds icky) but they are incredibly dry and flaky. Normally I use a selection of lip balms to counteract this, so when I saw this I thought I'd give it a go...and om nom nom indeed! You simply rub it into your lips and lick it off (it tastes as fab as it smells!) the sugar in the scrub ex foliates the lips and the oil that is left conditions, then just pop a bit of lip balm on. I used this about midday and its now almost 7pm and no flakes have arisen, normally Id be applying balm a couple of times an hour, so this is fab!

Models Own Orangeade Lipstick

Orange is a colour I wouldn’t normally wear, I'm a coral girl, coral I find compliments my skin tone. But I wanted to try something a bit different! This is the first Models Own lippy I've bought, I have a couple of their nail polishes and found them quite good. The lipstick is from their 'matt brite' range, when swatched its not completely matt it has has a slight glossy sheen, also its not a stark (I knows it looks neon in the piccy!) orange and its very wearable. I'm really impressed with the application and consistancy and its fantastic value at a mere 6 English pounds! This may have been the start of my orangey quest!

Temple Spa Peace Be Still Review

This stuff is a dream! Its described as a calming skin balm which soothes sensitive or irritated skin. Ingredients include vitamin b, lemon, nutmeg and coriander, the fragrance is beautiful and smells completely natural there’s no icky chemical smell or pot pourri up-you-nose overpowering floral scent you can get with so many body lotions. The consistency looks thick but melts instantly into the skin creating a velvety texture. You can use this product on your face, body and hands so its really versatile.

 

You definitely get a real sense of luxury when using this product it is fantastic quality, when I have some more pennies I'm looking forward to trying some of Temple Spas other products!



Soap and Glory - Peaches and Clean Review

Soap and Glory - Peaches and Clean

 

 

Normally I'm pretty slack when it comes to the old cleansing, don't get me wrong I'm not unclean! I would have just used a facial scrub and wiped any excess make up off with a face wipe. Until I discovered this baby! To start with the smell is amazing, it smells like peaches - ACTUAL PEACHES I TELL THEE! You seriously need to hotfoot it to the nearest boots to get a whiff of it! My skin is fairly dry in patches, but I do suffer from blocked pores on my chin and nose. Its described as a '4 in 1 wash off deep cleansing milk special clogged t zone formula' I find this makes my skin feel soft and refreshed (there is a slight hint of mint) and since I started using it I have found my blocked pores are less noticeable. With my skin being quite dry I was concerned it would make my face feel tight but I didn't find that the case with this product at all. Personally I've found Peaches and Clean works really well on my skin and has definitely become one of my faves!
