My favourite ELF Product -the Candy Shop Lip gloss

My favourite ELF product is definitely this Candy Shop Lip Gloss

In Cherry Bomb - Surprise surprise!

Its a glossy red balm, and quite yummy -not the yummiest, but quite yummy!

Its only £1.50 from www.eyeslipsface.co.uk

if you like Vaseline lip therapy in rosy lips you'll love this

-I obviously love them both!

this is also a cheaper version of Benefit benetint lip balm spf15

but I dont think it has any spf.

Have you tried any of the other flavours, which is your fave?

or do you use something from another brand? -Id love to know just comment below.

Swarovski Earrings

FYI -about me !

My main jewellery item that I have always loved is Earrings, I dont care if I dont wear any othe jewellery other than a pretty watch and Earrings.

The bigger the better!

I even wore large sterling silver hoops to school even though it wasnt allowed I got away with wearing them.

I purchased these from the Swarovski Shop at the mall, I have so many things with Swarovski because Im like an eagle with an eye for all that glitters -lol!. But, amazingly I have never bought anything directly from the shop before.

The earring were about £80 and are gold plated, apart from the post which is a nickel free material, I have sensitive ears which means I cannot wear fashion jewellery (even nickel free) for more than a few hours.

I liked the girl who served me she was really friendly and told me about the earrings, how the stones start off dark at one end and end up white at the other end etc

and that the products come with a warranty so I decided to try the earrings.

However to my horror one of the earrings lost stones the first time I wore them, I took them back to the shop the very next day and another woman refused me a refund as they had more of the same design in stock. She was a complete moody cow and put me off of ever buying from there again.

Im a little scared to wear them now :(

Girls must haves

Betula Flip Flops by Birkenstock

These are bestt for after bath and shower as they are made of rubber which makes them the most hygienic choice and are easily washable. The writing did not last more than a week though.

Duplo disposable razors by Wilkinsons sword

These are amazingly sharp and give you a close and clean shve even on thicker and coarser hair.

They cost about £4 for 10 razors wghich I feel is really cheap, you can easily use each one about 5 times so one razor could easily last you a week if used daily. Also they are pretty pink so hopefully this will put off the thieving men we live with (lol)

Bodyform Sanitary towels

These are available in so many different variaties from day and night, with and without wings, and also different absorbancies, and fragranced and un-fragranced, I think this is the best all rounder pack of towels, I dont want to have to go through ten different packs these are fine for me. Definitely do not leave for more than four hours. ( I hope this helps those of you who get confused by all of the choices available especially the new teens)

Sure Girl Deodorant body spray

Obviously there is no substitute to regular bathing but additional freshness and fragrance is very uplifting. I have tried this brand for the first time I was in a very girly pink mood.

I usually go for Soft and Gentle in fresh linen, it is great for sensitive skin and can be used after waxing and epilation -ALWAYS PATCH TEST ALL PRODUCTS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

Imperial Leather Little Treats Shower Creme in Cherry blossom and Vanilla bean

Another first try, I was interested by the flavour/fragrance (I love all things cherry including cherry blossom) when I smelt this it was the sweetest cherry blossom fragrance so I had to get this, I normally use, Philosophy, Molton brown , L'occitane, Clarins, Decleor and lush for 90% of my bathing. But I decided that I wanted to try more easily available high street products.

A must have for every purse

I found these in Somerfield/Co-op whilst doing a quick grocery dash.

So cute, pretty, functional and cheap at less than a pound a piece.

these slide open to reveal a mirror and a slot to release tiny little mints.

The mints are sugar free and super minty.

I felt I should include these in my beauty blog because the mints are actually breath freshening and provide a small travel mirror for minor makeup touch ups or in my case

teeny tiny particles blowing in the wind that agitate my sensitive eyes.

Avene Eau thermale and Roc skincare review

So you all know that I am 'The Dry Skin Diva'

My skin is sooooo sensitive.

I will share my opinion and thoughts on all of the products I use to maintain healthy skin.

I first used these products whilst having a majorly sensitised skin.

I purchased these products from Boots.

Each product retails at between £10-£15 pounds

The products are -

-Avene Eau Thermale extremely gentle cleanser

no rinse tissue off formula, can be used on all skin types -even on the most red sensitised and irritated or spotty skin, dry or oily skin.

-Avene Eau Thermale spring water soothing serum for sensitive skin

this costs about £15 and is so soothing and cooling and hydrating on the skin I even use this when my skin is not sensitised, this can even be used in place of moisturiser for additional hydration for example if you are using a 3 in 1 product on your face ie a tinted moisturiser with spf. I use between 1 to 3 pumps, 1 at a time until my skin feels quenched.

you can use the matching Avene eau thermale moisturiser which comes in different concentrations for different skin types and has an SPF.

But as I had a £5 voucher for ROC I tried a similar moisturiser which also comes in different intensities for different skin types

ROC Hydra + Bio Active anti oxidant Bio moisturising cream spf15 -dry skin option

I have seen alot of advertising for this product so I was glad to try it out, I definitely like this, it comes in a hygienic tube so If your problem is bacterial spots you wont contaminate the rest of the formula. its a nice consistency and smells nice and it is definitely moisturising and soothing. again Im happy to use this even when Im not sensitised.

I also used the following three products

Avene eau thermale spf50 face sunblock

Avene childrens sunblock spray

Avene eau thermale facial spritz

all were fine however I noted that I had to apply the baby sunblock 10 times in a three hour drive and I still got really tanned, but this is good as I have such sensitive skin I dont tan naturally I burn so badly I get all red and crusty ewwwwww

Nail Paints by Barry M

If you like to play with nail colour definitely check these out.

at about £3 for a 10ml bottle

application is quite straight forward with a decent quality brush

the formula is fab -nice thick colour that does not streak when applied with some care.

available in a huge range of colours.

takes about as long to dry as other high end brands such as OPI and Nails inc

(maybe one day I will share my collection with you?)

Available on the high street at Boots and Superdrug

and on their own website (just google barrym)

I was in the mood to play with glitter and deep metallic colours so I thought it better to purchase BarryM nail paints rather than OPI or Nails inc as I knew these are not everyday colour.

I just wanted to have abit of fun.
