Pretty storage..





Picked up this lovely cut glass jar from the Boots Sale - reduced from £12.00 to £6.00. As you can see I'm storing my cotton pads in it.

Not only is it super cute with it's little green bow but it fits in perfectly with my other makeup storage. I have a few cut glass bowls and jars, that I keep a few bits in from hair clips to my everyday moisturizer and toner my my bed. They're things I need easy access to everyday but that doesn't mean I need to see them (if you get what I mean). I'd much rather have the pretty glass jars on show - pretty and organised.

The Body Shop Sale

Hey,

As you aware the high street is full of Sales and reductions. Recently The Body Shop drew me in and I just wanted to show you two things I got.
I actually ended up getting two lip products though there is certainly lots to tempt you, you can see the sale that on their website here.

The first lip product I got was the Delipsicous Sheer Lip Colour in No 7 Sheer Raspberry for £5.00 reduced from £9.50.

Here is what The Body Shop say,

'Deliciously sheer, moisturising lip colour made with 100% food-grade ingredients.

  • Sheer colour
  • Moisturising
  • Natural fruit flavour
  • Made with 100% food-grade ingredients


There are 9 shades available online but you would need to see what was in your local store.


These are very sheer on but also moisturising which I like and Sheer Raspberry does have a slight shimmer to it.

Its nicer than applying a gloss but it doesn't last that long on but its non tacky. I don't think I would have paid full price for this but I don't mind the £5.00 so much. You could end up going through this quite quick as it doesn't have any staying power.


The other item I got was the Delipscious Tinted Lip Balm,

I got Shade 2 Watermelon Crush for £4.00 reduced from £8.00.


What the Body Shop say,

'A balm with a natural fruit flavour that conditions as it adds a dash of colour. Made with 100% food-grade ingredients.



  • Moisturising
  • Subtle colour
  • Natural fruit flavour
  • Made with 100% food-grade ingredients'

The swatch below looks very sheer but on my lips its quite a bright pale pink. I don't like it!

I don't think this will see my lips again. It is moisturising on my lips but I really don't like the colour.


Have you brought any sale buys?

Thanks

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector

So this is a long overdue post.

I actually still haven't got by hands on a BB cream, despite really wanting one. At the moment there are so many out there that I'm just not sure which one to go for. My mum on the other hand decided to give the Garnier BB Cream a go after seeing a few reviews. The whole idea of a product that can hydrate, illuminate, cover and even your skin.

So here's how she got one,

No Makeup,


With just the BB Cream,



here she is with a bit of concealer under her eyes, powder to set, a bit of bronzer and mascara.



The products blends in easily and works well under foundation or on it's own with a little bit of setting powder over the top.

She feels that it helps to evens out her skin tone as she suffers from discoloration and she's also noticed that the overall appearance has improved. She's impressed but still feels that she needs a product that's more a foundation type BB Cream than the Garnier so that she can skip the foundation part of her routine.

Verdict - 3.5/5
