Avon Magix Face Perfector

Have you ever felt like your wearing too much foundation but your skin isn't "perfect" enough to not wear it? 

Well that's how I felt until i bought Avon's magix face perfector. Its smooth and creamy like normal foundation, but it is almost a clear paste so rather than coating your face in a mask of orange coloured cream, it highlights your own completions natural colour whilst hiding all the other little imperfections. I found that it also keeps the rest of your makeup on really well. 

This product can also be blended with your normal foundation for the ultimate skin completion.

Light-as-air gel-powder gives you a naturally flawless look, keeping shine away for up to 10 hours* Skin looks brighter and feels ultra-soft with pores and fine lines visibly smoothed*.

Esprit Mens Range

My partner is quite fussy when it comes to clothes. He is always complaining that it is easier for women to buy clothes than it is for men to buy clothes. 

We went into Esprit in Regent Street, Central London and the men's range there was surprisingly better than the women's range. 

Although their clothes can be a bit pricey, they are well made and durable unlike some of the clothes you buy these days that fall apart after the first wash. 

I thought it was good to see a shop that had a better men's range than women's range for once. I think there needs to be more accessible places in London for men to buy clothes (and ones that aren't so expensive!). 

Kudos to Esprit! You stand up to the men's fashion mark! 

Esprit have regular sales on all of their stock! check it out at    www.Esprit.co.uk

Eylure Eyelash extensions/false eyelashes

When using false eyelashes, i always have the same problems. The glue is either messy and dries out too quick or it damages my real eyelashes. 

I decided to try eylure eyelashes and they were great! The eyelashes feel so real, the glue is easy to apply and there is no mess. The glue dries clear and pulls off so quick and easy that you don't have the worry of pulling your own eyelashes out in the process. Although they are simple to pull off they are sturdy and strong when on as tested the glues strength by sleeping with the eyelashes on and to my surprise, in the morning only the corner of one was starting to peel off. amazing results! Its as if they are your own eyelashes they are so comfortable!

The eyelashes are flexible and lightweight so once they are on, you cant feel them. (CONTACT LENS FRIENDLY!)

They can also be cut to size if they are too wide for you. (you do have to cut them to size yourself)

And for the Girls Aloud fans out there, eylure and girls aloud teamed up to make their own eyelash designs and i have to say, they are beautiful. great for any occasion.  check them out on the superdrug website or instore!

Eylure eyelashes come in a range of styles to suit all from natural to glamorous to singles. and start from £4.50 (the eyelashes normally last for a months worth of use if looked after carefully and can be used with mascara to bond your real eyelashes to them for extra strength protection)

I bought my eyelashes from superdrug but they can also be bought from boots and other leading cosmetic dealers.

Miss Sporty Eyebrow Pencil

I recently purchased a new eyebrow pencil. 

I decided to go for the Miss Sporty eye pencil in 018- savage

For one, I love the colour. Its soft yet explosive in colour and definition.

 Its so smooth to apply and it doesn't break too easy and doesn't go blotchy and bulky on your eyebrows.

Also, it can be used for an eyeliner as well as an eyebrow pencil. 2 in 1.. GREAT! 

I was very impressed with this little pencil coming in at an amazing £1.99 from superdrug! 

I think this pencil shows that you dont have to break the bank to get eyebrow perfection!

Avon lip wear - Ultra colour & Glazewear sparkle

I recently ordered 2 lip products from Avon and they were definitely worthy of a blog post!

I bought the Ultra colour rich 24ct gold lipstick in ruby in gold, and the glazewear Sparkle lip gloss in sugarcane.

The lipstick is great! It lasts ages, gets in all the tiny lip creases, and has the most amazing colour to it. The small grated gold dust makes the lipstick colour hint a slight summery orange twinge to it. Perfect for the nice weather and yet great to cheer up your mood if the weather is a bit Down.

This lipstick comes in 8 different colours:- 

Amethyst Gold Chocolate Gold Golden Peach
Golden Rose Golden Wine Ruby in Gold
24K Gold 24K Pink

If the lipstick is a bit too dareish for you, try the glazewear lip gloss in sugarcane.

It's a tinted lip gloss so it only gives you a subtle shade to your lips but highlights them with the glitter, a pretty edge to any outfit. I like this lip gloss as it glides across your lips easy with the applicator in the lid, and it coats your lips evenly giving them a plump and flawless look. 

Ultra colour rich 24ct gold lipstick - £8 from
Glazewear Sparkle lip gloss - £3 (special offer at the moment. normal rrp: £5.50)

Men's Shaving... Don't Feel The Burn!

Do you suffer with the annoyance of dry, cracked and even spotty skin after shaving? 
If you do, this could be caused by your shaving cream/foam/gel! 

Shaving Gel, Foam, Oil and Cream sit on the surface of your skin rather than absorbing in to soften the skin and hair follicles before shaving. This causes the skin to become dry and cracked and in worse cases you can get shaving spots which then can become ingrown hair spots which become quite sore. 

I decided to buy the WILKINSON SWORD SHAVING SOAP BOWL AND BRUSH for my partner to try as he suffers from all of the symptoms caused by shaving. 

Since he has been using it, I can honestly say that his skin has improved miraculously! within 2 shaves, his skin was almost clear! I couldn't believe it! 

Combined with the L'Oreal men expert moisturiser, his skin is "to die for".

Because it is shaving soap, it is easier to work into the skin. By using the brush to apply the soap, it works the soap into all the small pores of the skin almost like an exfoliator brush does! 

I would recommend this to any man. It may seem a little more expensive than the regular shaving liquids, but it is 100% worth the extra money. Plus, the soap lasts a long time!

I bought the brush and shaving bowl from Superdrug. 

- Shaving Soap Bowl (soap is always included in the bowl) £2.49

- Shaving Brush £4.49

Birkenstocks - Your Feet Will Feel The Love!

Now I have to say... I LOVE MY BIRKENSTOCKS! 

For one, they are moulded to a natural foot position unlike some of the normal flip-flops that are completely flat and cause more damage to your posture, legs and joints than they do to your feet. By being moulded to a natural foot position, they are able to support your whole body in a way that leaves you feeling refreshed and full of life in every step! 

Then you have their colour range! Its amazing! There are so many different shades of colours! Better than the rainbow!

I think one of the best things is that they have a repair service! If your one of those people who HATE getting rid of your shoes even if they are a bit mish-mashed, the outer sole and the foot bed can easily be replaced! how great is that?!

I myself suffer with the typical legs, back and joints pains caused by the un-supportive women's shoes that are out there, but I have noticed that every time I wear my BIRKENSTOCKS, I feel no aches or pains.

I have over 40 pairs of shoes in my collection so far so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to footwear. I'm a shoe-a-holic! I would recommend birkenstocks to anyone; with their wide range of shoes with all different soles,shapes and textures theres a perfect pair for everyone!

You can purchase these amazing shoes from SCHUH, SIMMI, OFFICE and many more!

Be Good To Your Skin

Be good to your skin, you only get this chance once in life! 

Before you know it you have skin damage and you will be wishing you had taken the time to look after yourself properly!

I have tried so many exfoliators for my skin and have found that the best ones are as follows;

Freederm Exfoliating Facial Wash for Blackheads and extremely oily skin (controls sebum)

at £2.99 from Superdrug, This is a great bargain and a must have! 

I found that freederm was better than Clearasil, Simple, Witch, Clarity and even Clean and Clear!

Lula Bloom Sugar Scrub for an all over body scrub at an affordable price at 99p for 350ml from Superdrug. 

and finally

Sanctuary Spa Kyphi Nourishing Hot Sugar Scrub for an extra special pampered feeling. Great in the winter as it heats as you rub into skin! £12.99 for 400ml from Boots!

After exfoliating, you should always put the moisture back into your skin as not to dry it out and cause cracked/wrinkled skin!

Here are what I think are the 2 best moisturising lotions!

Freederm Zone Balancing Moisturiser for softer, hydrated and less spotty facial skin. £8 from Superdrug. 

Sanctuary Spa Essentials Body Lotion a combination of Ginger root extract and jojoba with pro-vitamin B5 for a relaxing soft  protecting feeling to the whole of your body.

My Favourite Nail Polish

BarryM Nail Paint in Pink Iridescent (left) and Strawberry (right) are my favourite nail polishes at the moment!

I added three layers of Strawberry to my nails for the strong undercoat. Its a lovely colour but it seemed too flat for me. once the first colour was dry I added the Pink Iridescent to give it a pink glittery finish.

Very Girly, Very sexy, Very attractive to the eyes!

Here was the finishing result >

(lovely results! although don't judge the odd length of my nails - i had a nail-emergency and lost one as you can see) 

BarryM nail paint is 2 for £5 at superdrug at the moment!

L'Oreal Men Expert

The L'Oreal Men expert Range is by far the best buy for a Male's skin this year!

They have something for every man! From Greasy/Oily skin to dried out skin. And it smells amazing!

I recently bought this for my partner and he seems to love it. It leaves his skin soft and glowing after a shave! 

It has also improved his shaving spots (which are always a problem).

It definitely goes on His and My TOP 10 BUYS FOR MEN 2010!

The range can be bought from Superdrug, Boots, Asda and many more! 

Braun Silk-Epil 7 Epilator

The MUST HAVE ELECTRONIC HEALTH CARE PRODUCT of the season has to be the BRAUN SILK-EPIL 7!

With its great shape for grip, multi functional attachments and its LACK OF PAIN FACTOR what woman (and possibly man) wouldn't want one?

I am talking out of experience here! YES I have one.
