Bene Balm is a rose colour.  It gives your lip a just bitten look with a bit of a sheen.  This colour can be worn on every occasion.

 

For those of you already a fan of the Benefit Tints, you will be pleasantly surprised how well these Tinted Lip Balms match the original tints.  The colours are spot on, however, they are very sheer.  They can be built to show up more on the lips, but you're not going to find intense pigmentation with these.  For my own purpose though, I can apply these while walking to work.  There's not mirror required.  I think all 4 colours can be easily pulled off by anyone because of how sheer they are, so in a way, it could be a good thing.As for the balm quality, it feels buttery on the lips, and my lips feel nice and soft after I apply it.  The moisture lasts for a few hours.  I usually would reapply when the colour is gone (mostly after eating and drinking).  I don't feel tightness on my lips unless I forgot to reapply.  I think they will be great for Spring and Summer, but I would use a more moisturizing lip balm to prep my lips during Winter time (although I might be speaking too soon).  The balms are rose scented, but the scent is not pungent and it doesn't last.  So for those who might be more scent sensitive, this could still work for you.

 

Posie Balm is a poppy pink.  Like its sister tint, I think this is the most wearable out of all of the shades (not that the other balms are not).  It a great every day girly colour.

With brows being big at the moment (literally), a whole new market has been opened. There are now more brow products on the shelves of Boots and Superdrug than ever before, with most brands providing their share of make-up to brow power. Soap and Glory won me over with their body washes and moisturisers many moons ago, but I have never been that convinced by their make-up- especially after trying those Sexy Mother Pucker lip-glosses. Although I didn't know it then, this Archery brow pencil and tint was going to change my morning routine.

 

I was really sceptical when buying this product, not only because it seems you're essentially paying £10 for a brow pencil, but because I'd heard from some other bloggers that it wasn't all that. This product doesn't come without a few flaws, but I love it nonetheless.

 

I'll start with the positives; I absolutely love how the pencil end is quite chunky. It's not a pencil as such, but more of a thinner crayon in look and texture. It's really soft, but not in the way that kohl liners are. It has the perfect texture for filling in brows, provides a lovely natural colour, and you access the pencil through a handy twist-up mechanism to minimise waste through sharpening.

Overall, while it would be sweeter if it cost a bit less than a tenner, I will still definitely be re-purchasing this at some point. It's so easy to use, so great if you're a brow beginner. I would also recommend this to anyone suffering forms of hair-loss who are struggling to draw on or create brows, as this Soap and Glory pencil does make them seem very natural. Soap and Glory Archery brow pencil comes in dark ('Brownie Points') or light ('Love is Blonde) and is available online or in Boots.

If you are travelling, you can use the felt tip as an eye liner. You could also use it as an eyeliner for a natural everyday look (i.e. school)

 

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE BROW PRODUCT??

I have a combination skin type, and this scrub works perfectly for me, removing dry skin and eliminating blackheads and blemishes! I've been using this product for around about two weeks now and I have got to say it's the best face scrub I have ever bought! I find it to be quite a deep cleansing face scrub and I feel when I use it, it does what it says on the bottle!

 

It's such a beautiful scrub and always leaves me feeling clean and refreshed, not to mention it smelling absolutely divine! I don't like to use anything harsh on my skin and this scrub is perfect for that as it is very gentle and easy to wash off. However as much as I love this scrub, there is one downside :( it tends to leave my skin a little more dry than usual-but nothing that using a good moisturiser wont fix! ( I would recommend any nivea day creams, they're very lovely, and you get get them for all skin types. )

 

So, to wrap this up, I find this product to be very fresh and simple, it does what it says it's supposed to and I love it, especially the scent, it's absolutely gorgeous!

I also use the facial wash in the mornings, as I don't have to remove any makeup. The facial wash also has the same sent as the scrub, and still leaves my face feeling soft.

The other day I got the foundation which I really have wanted for a while. After reading some outstanding reviews on it, and seeing some YouTube girls do beautiful make up tutorials with it, I got it and I thought that I'd do a review for you guys to tell you my opinions! So here goes...

To start off with I just want to say this foundation explains itself in its name-perfection. As I said above there has been so many wonderful reviews on this foundation which I have read to persuade me into purchasing this foundation. This foundation has an oil-free formulation with semi-matte finish. Having a decent coverage and evening out skin tone very well, it also covers any red pigmentation on the skin. Although, not covering blemishes as well as I first expected- but nothing that a good concealer wouldn't fix! ( I use Mac Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer ) It lasts all day long, from early in the morning until late at night AND without touch-ups. It claims to be long lasting and I would 100% agree as it lasts very well!

When applying it I found that it dries fairly quickly which does mean that it's more difficult to work with than most foundations. To make it easier for myself I apply it in sections (cheeks, forehead, neck, chin etc ) which means I can blend it more effectively and not use as much of the fluid. The fluid itself blends out thinner than it appears and you can build it up to a higher coverage if you desire. I wouldn't apply it underneath my eyes as I personally think its too heavy and emphasises the tiny lines which we all unfortunately have! It feels so smooth and weightless on the skin and I just love it! The smell of the foundation is just devine, it's got such a beautiful scent and whenever wearing it I get complements on how good my skin looks. (my skin really isn't that good) You can tell it's a high end foundation because it's so luxurious. The price is quite high coming in at £36 but I think it's so worth it, and it makes me feel amazing! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who was looking for a foundation with good coverage and a non-dewy finish.

If you have any post requests, leave them in the comments section below and I will check them out, hope you've enjoyed reading this review guys:-)

Recently, I’ve read many blog posts from the ‘Starting Off Project’ designed for makeup beginners. I really wish that I’d heard about it earlier, because I love the idea. Because of this idea, I have decided to share a selection of makeup and beauty products that I would advise you to begin with!

By no means feel like you need to use every single one of these products, it’s just a brief idea of the sort of things I think are good from the drugstore!

I don’t often buy makeup from Dior, but as soon as I saw the limited edition Nude Tan Tie Dye blushers from their new spring/summer collection I knew I had to have one.
 The limited edition Tie Dye blushers come in two colour options, with each one made up of four complementary powder shades.

 

At £40 each, these aren’t exactly cheap, but they do come with a cute little brush which actually seems reasonable quality, plus they’re Dior, so they were never going to be a bargain buy. The outside of the compact is almost as pretty as the inside and it’s surprisingly heavy, which adds to the luxury feel.

I have a feeling these are going to be a very quick sell out, so nab one quick if you like what you see.  I’ll be staring at mine lovingly while working up the nerve to actually swatch it...
