Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation
This post is on the liquid foundation Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow by Benefit. It’s an oil free foundation (which I love as I have combination skin) and is really build-able, from a very light layer right up to a pretty full coverage, without looking cakey (massive win). (If anyone is curious I am the shade “Im pure 4 sure IVORY”, though if I have any tan on, I wear “believe in me IVORY”.) This foundation is £25.50 for 30mls, which may sound a lot to some of you, but believe me this is worth it! I feel that somethings you can easily get cheaper dupes of (for example lip liner…

Dot by Marc Jacobs
This review will be on the fragrance Dot by Marc Jacobs. This fragrance came out in 2012 so it isn’t brand new, but the reason I decided to review this one now is that his brand new one Honey has just been launched and there is a lot of reviews about that one in blogs and other reviews. They aren’t hugely similar, but in having similar bottles I have been finding a few comparisons online, but I personally prefer this one. So this is Dot by Marc Jacobs: Marc Jacobs never fails to bring out beautiful collectible looking fragrance bottles, of course with matching boxes/packaging. I will say that it…

Philip Kingsley Elasticizer
This review will be on Philip Kingsley’s Elasticizer. I first heard about this product when I received a 40ml tube of it via a monthly beauty subscription box, but I had put it in my “to be used” box and hadn’t tried it straight away as I had been trying/using other products. The reason I did end up trying it sooner than expected was that it was featured on QVC here in the UK in June as their “beauty pick of the month” – and as there is only one beauty product chosen per month to be the favourite for that month, I was intrigued, so started to use my…

Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser
This review will be on the new Spray & Go Body Moisturiser range by Vaseline. This is a brand new range by Vaseline, it was launched less than two weeks ago here in the UK! This product is an all over body moisuriser, but in spray form. A continuous spray at that, not single squirts! There are three sprays in the Spray & Go range, there is an Aloe Vera option (Aloe Fresh), a Cocoa Butter option (Cocoa Radiant), and then the Standard option (the one in the picture below). The Standard one is the one I own, but I got a chance to test out all 3 options and…

Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat Nail Strengthener
This review will be on the Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat Nail Strengthener. I got a set of this nail strengthener from QVC a few weeks back as it was on a special offer price and on the demonstration it looked really good so I thought I would give it a go. In the set I got two of the standard size bottles (18ml) and two travel sizes (5ml). It is one of the 5ml bottles in the picture I have put up of it. On the QVC website as standard they sell one 18ml bottle for £21.50. My nails grow fast, but they are weak, they peel, and they…

Ojon Revitalising Hair Mist
This review will be on the Revitalizing Hair Mist by Ojon. It is a spray leave in conditioner for the hair, retailing at £20.50 on the Ojon website for the 175ml bottle. On their website it claims to revitalize, re-hydrate, detangle, tame flyaways, and doing all of that without the product feeling sticky or still, and I have to admit, it does all of them beautifully! The smell is amaaazing, and it’s so light weight on the hair. I have long straight hair, but it’s quite fine and oily, so I have to be very careful with serums and sprays as they can make my hair look oily really fast,…

Biotherm Biocils Eye Makeup Remover
This review will be on the Biotherm Biocils Lash Optimizer Eye Makeup Remover. This eye makeup remover takes off all makeup with ease, including stubborn/waterproof makeup. From the haul I put up not too long ago, you may have guessed I am a bit of a Biotherm fan! The eye makeup remover was one of the first products I ever tried of theirs as I was recommended it by a friend, and I am glad I listened! The liquid itself is “separated” when sitting on a shelf or on your dresser, but you shake it up to use it as it then mixes the liquids ready for use. Consistency wise…

No7 Stay Perfect Mascara
This review will be on the newest No7 mascara called Stay Perfect. I decided to do my review on this mascara as it is just brand new out so there may not be many reviews on it so far! The packaging itself is all gold, it was just tricky to get a decent shot of the tube because it reflects everything. This mascara was launched about 4 weeks ago now, but I wanted to use it for a good few weeks before doing a proper review, as sometimes the initial reaction you get from a mascara (or any other product) can change after giving it a proper go, for mascaras…

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque
This review will be on the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque, which I will say right now, I absolutely adore. (Sorry the pot is a little scabby, it’s been living in the shower for months!) The claims on the front of the pot say “Revitalising hair reconstructor for dry, damaged hair” – now I will be honest here, my hair isn’t overly dry or overly damaged, apart from occasional hair dye or slight heat damage/split ends, but I always get intense conditioners and moisturisers, as I like my hair to be as soft and moisturised as it can be and to be honest I have totally noticed a difference…

Redken Smooth Lock Shampoo
I first came across this shampoo from a sample in a magazine, and I have to admit I loved it from the first time I used it! But I thought it would be more fitting to only do a proper review after having using it for a good few weeks to get the best idea of how it works over time. My hair is long and naturally pretty straight, it isn’t overly dry or even really frizzy! But I love the moisturising anti-frizz hair products as they keep my hair as moisturised, soft and shiny as possible, and I must say, this shampoo does exactly that 🙂 It isn’t the…
