100% Natural Lip Roll On

I love the feel and taste of this on my lips! It's a yummy rose flavour it's  used to soften the lips and provide moisture on a daily basis but I like to apply this after my skincare routine every morning. 

This does come in a variety of flavours strawberry, rasberry, coconut...etc!

This is the body shop's version i think it is the first lip roll on it reminds me of garniers caffeine eye roll on, hmmm wonder where they got the lip roll on idea from! 

I wouldn't say it keeps the lips shiny it just provides moisture, i think the downside is the moisture does not last and it dries quickly! Well this still has a safe place in my cosmetic's bag, I am not going to let it go yet!

Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 20

I bought this foundation randomly a couple of years ago when the mineral makeup niche came out and i was intrigued and curious me went out shopping for some research lol! Anyway i love this foundation especially when your in a rush and you hardly have time to put any makeup on this is a must , it's so neat and dosen't make a mess unlike most mineral makeup does that goes everywhere! it has a neat twist and grind compact area inside once you open it that looks something like this.

it keeps all the powder nice and neat in there and you only need a little...warning a little goes a long way!












 i also bought the large brush with it which is so easy to apply the powder with you just dip it in the powder swirl tap the excess off and your ready to apply on to your face in quick circular motions and your foundation is done!

More foundation review posts coming up soon keep your eyes peeled everyone!

Elizebath Arden Green Tea Perfume

i purchased this on-line from fragrance direct and it has become one of my top 10 perfumes! The best way i would describe this smell is cool and rejuvenating burst of energy with notes of green tea, and i think it has hints of mandarin and white birch in there too. I wear this during the day on my way to work really , i think its a nice fresh smell and can be worn day or night but i think it's best worn during the day personally. The best way to make your perfume last longer is to rub some Vaseline on that area, as I rub Vaseline on my wrists my décolleté area and behind my ears and spray the perfume on top and your perfume is guaranteed to last longer!

Lancôme Skin Care!

i needed a new routine in my skincare i was longing for the perfect skincare with a rose infused smell then "ting" right ahead as i entered debenham's the lancome cosmetics counter was there, the sales assistant was lovely and offered me samples and i came back and purchased. cleanse, tone and moisturize is my skincare ritual it's a must! Here are images of the products i purchased.

















Galateis Douceur - gentle softening cleansing fluid, face& eyes. This removes all of my makeup and refreshes skin it feels so squeaky and clean.


 
















The toner is suitable for all skin types my skin type is sensitive so it suits my skin! its alcohol free this toner but it smells gorgeous too, it refreshes and preps your face ready for the moisturizer.














this moisturizer has an SPF30 which covers you all year round it moisturises my face really well makes it soft  and smooth! 

  This serum works wonders!
 I wear this a couple of times a week every night...and my face is bright and refreshed the next morning, i am getting into anti-ageing products too becuase i am 23 so it's best if i start early before 30!








The hydra zen eye cream that helps reduce puffiness is a must too, i have noticed my eyes are less puffy and you also use it on your eye contour area to prevent wrinkles.

  Last but not least the water eye,face,lips makeup remover i love this...it removes every single inch of waterproof mascara and foundation....apply this on a cotton pad remove and then your ready to cleanse!
