Review: Agadir Argan Oil Spray Treatment

I LOVE this oil spray treatment:

Agadir Argan Oil Spray Treatment

My lovely mummy gave me this spray as she did not find it useful, so I did not have the highest hopes that it would be much better on me! 

But much to my surprise, my often dyed dry hair soaked up the oil like there was no tomorrow! I love the smell as well and it lingers in my hair for a while.
I use the spray on wet brushed hair before blow drying. Previously my hair was going a bit AWOL and was very frizzy after blow drying so when this product actually WORKED (unlike so many other products) I was so happy :)
I also love how its a spray and not a serum as those are always touch and go with me, I always seem to put too much! haha! And then theres no going back!
But with this spray, its light and you stop before you go too far with the oil.
Ive been using it for about a month now and I am not even half way through it. I will be repurchasing this product!!

Review: MAC Hepcat and MAC Mulch

Yay more MAC eyeshadows!!!!!

From left to right: MAC eyeshadow in Hepcat and MAC eyeshadow in Mulch

Hepcat: Frost eyeshadow

I really do enjoy hepcat, I thought that it would have been more purple but it is according to my swatches, pink!! I think if you build it up it can be a light purple shade but because it is a frost, the swatch in the picture above was done with 7 swipes and you can see it still is very pink. But its a beautiful glittery colour and I like it all over the eyelid or as a crease colour! 

Mulch: Velvet eyeshadow

I cannot express how much I love Mulch! Its so soft, and velvety and easy to work with. The swatch above is just one swipe across the eyeshadow so as you can see its very pigmented. I LOVE doing gold smokey eyes with Mulch and it makes a great crease colour too. I would recommend this eyeshadow to everyone but it is quite a deep colour and shimmery so maybe not the best for mature or deep set eyes? If Im wrong let me know! :) 

Review: Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish

I love this nail polish, I actually have more of them but these two are my favourite.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish in Clear and Coralicious

Firstly, when the cap says 1 sec application, they mean 1 sec application! Its great how easy it is to apply and it literally takes around a minute to do both hands. I dont normally need more than a coat but they do look better with a couple of coats. 

Wearing Coralicious with Clear as a top coat.

They last well without chipping, I prefer them to any other nail polishes Ive tried recently, including the OPI sample mentioned below. I think I will be growing my collection :) 

Lust Have It! June Edition

Ok I know Im a month late again with this post and have been a bit slack! But I am trying :)

I was sooo happy when I saw a purple bag this month, different to the blue one I got last month:

Firstly, there is this cool little gagdet:

Shade & Line 3 in 1 by Bloom

This is quite nice, I was actually surprised when I took the caps off! It features a crayon pencil, I have the blue one with glitter, a smudging tool and a eyeshadow wand, mine is silver metallic. 

I have seen these in Target, and have wondered if the brand was any good. Ive tried the eyeshadow and its quite good! The eyeliner does not seem to sit well on my waterline, maybe its just me but when I looked in the mirror 5 mins after applying it, it was nearly gone!

Lola by Marc Jacobs sample and L'Eau de Chloe by Chloe sample

I dont care what anyone says I love receiving these little perfume samples in my monthly bag! Lola is an amazing fragrance, It says that it have red grapefruit and pink peppercorn in it, whatever it is its amazing <3 wish I could afford the actual product because the bottle is amazing too! 

L'Eau de Chloe is also amazing of course, I think everyone knows how lovely Chloe perfumes are I dont really need to say anything! This one is very floral but subtle and not overpowering.

LonVitalite 24K Active Golden Yulan Oil Facial Mask and Gold Full Eye Mask

Im so excited to try these! Im saving them for this saturday, before getting dressed up for an awards night :) They are so squidgy, when I use them I will miss squeezing the packages! I can only imagine how nice they will feel on my face :) 

Batiste- Blush Dry Shampoo

Strangely enough, the day before I received my lust have it bag, I was in the local shop searching EVERYWHERE for some dry shampoo and could not find any whatsoever. So I was so relived when I received this handy little bottle which fits nicely in my handbag :) Always good, dont think I really need to say anything about this one everyone knows how amazing it is! Works like magic ;)

Purple Smurple

So when I wrote below that I love dark purple nail polishes, when talking about the nicole by OPI nail polish sample, I couldnt have been more disappointed when I put the nail polish on for the first time!

Theres nothing wrong with the colour, its just not as dark as I thought it would be looking at the bottle. (please excuse my manky nails!)

After one coat of nail polish.

The nail polish is very opaque after the first coating, which is fine, most nail polishes take a good few coats to look good. But after using barry m nail polishes for a while now ive become used to not even needing to do another coat! 

After three coats of nail polish.

So after the third coat I decided that it looked good enough. I did get a few compliments on the colour throughout the day so that was nice.

However, I havent tried OPI nail polishes before, but this particular one does not last long. I painted them during the evening and did nothing but watch tv until bed. When I woke up in the morning they were already chipped! Not impressed! 

They did survive intense hand washing at work, but did not last a night out in the city. 

Let me know what you think of OPI nail polishes :) xx

Lust Have It! May Edition

I know this is a bit late but here is what I received in my May Lust Have It bag:

Firstly I love how it comes in a bag and not a box! Its a beautiful bright blue colour and Im hoping they wont come blue every month.

Dirty Soap by Lush

This soap smells anything but dirty!! It says that it contains spearmint, sandalwood, pine and oakmoss. 

Whatever it is, it is amazing! Its a large soap as well, doesnt feel like a sample size though I imagine you probably could get a larger one if you went to Lush (correct me if Im wrong!). It has small little sparkles in it though I havent noticed any sticking to my skin.

Nicole by OPI Ultimate trend setter's lacquer

 (Does not have a name or number)

I havent actually tried this nail polish yet!! Oops! So I cant give it a proper review but it looks divine. I have a fetish for dark purple nailpolish so Im sure I will love it :)

Babor Platinum Cell Reactivating Cream

This is a 'rich day and night cream to strengthen the skin barrier and re-balance moisture/lipid content'. Im not too sure about this one, I dont know whether it will do what it claims, buttttt it costs $285 for 50mL so perhaps I shouldnt be so quick to judge! Let me know if anyone likes this product.

Showface Professional Makeup

 (Does not have a name or number)

As you can see from the picture Ive swiped my finger over the eyeshadow a few times to see what quality it is as it is described as 'creamy, long lasting, easy to use and intense colour payoff'. It definatley feels creamy! I quite like it, Im not too sure about the colour but at the moment I dont really have a matte brown eyeshadow so it is welcome to join my eyeshadow collection! 

Roberto Cavalli Eau de Perfum

Mmmm... love this perfume!! It smells lovely! It says it is 'an intense oriental floral based on notes of orange blossom, symbolizing Italian femininity, sensuality and extravagance.' wow! haha and it definately smells exactly like that description.

De Lorenzo Elements Ocean Mist Sea Salt Styling Spray

A full sized product! Yay! Now this spray seems amazing, but Im currently trying out some other hair products so I am yet to try it. It says to mist onto wet or dry hair and to create a messy look or to enhance natural curls. I dont have natural curls but I do like the messy look! haha.. 

It contains sunflower seed cake and sea kelp to condition and nourish, yum :P 

Anyways Im sure the June Lust Have It pack will be out soon, ;) so I will try and update that one as soon as I get it 

:D <3

Review: Mineralism and Naked Lunch

Ive been trying out two new MAC eyeshadows I bought online: Naked Lunch and Mineralism.
I think Mineralism has been discontinued (if Im wrong please let me know!), but it is still available on some websites!

Mineralism, A silvery/light taupe lustre eyeshadow

I love this lustre eyeshadow from MAC. It is very sheer but when applied on top of other eyeshadows, or as a highlight, it looks beautiful! If your not into shimmery eyeshadows then this is definately not for you!  It works great with smokey eyes and if you have really deep set eyes like myself, it can take away a bit of the depth when used in the inner corner of the eye.

Naked Lunch, A light pink golden eyeshadow

I have heard mixed reviews about this eyeshadow so was a bit nervous waiting for it to arrive in the mail, but I have been pleasantly surprised with how much I love this eyeshadow!

I think it depends on your skin tone and how you use the eyeshadow to be honest with you. It seems to enhance my eyes and works as a great base colour, if Im after a shimmery base instead of a matte one.  

Overall, very pleased with these two eyeshadows! 

Practice Makes Perrrfect!!

How crazy hard is it to do makeup on faces other than your own! You get so used to decorating your own face and then bam everything that you do that works on you makes someone else look rubbish! But practice makes perfect so hopefully one day I will be able to post photos of successful looks I've created :) Hopefully haha! On a side note say no to the flu jab! Unless your 65+!

Chit Chat With Me!

So this is just a silly little post to say that I've noticed I've had a lot of views from around the world but no comments as of yet! Talk to me haha :) I would like to hear everyones opinions or comments on anything I post about or beauty in general! <3

Review: BB Cream by Garnier

I see that BB creams have become quite popular recently and a few brands have been releasing their own versions of the creams. So when I was looking around the beauty section of Target and saw that the Garnier version was on sale for around $11, I had to try it. 

BB cream by Garnier: Miracle Skin Perfector

As you can see from the image, It says miracle skin perfector, which I think is a bit rich. It claims to do the following:

1. Hydrate for 24hours

2. Evens tone

3. Corrects blemishes

4. Boosts healthy glow

5. UV protection SPF 15

Ive been trying it out for about 4 weeks now, using it nearly daily. I have noticed no change in my skin condition, however I don't have bad skin! It did make my skin have a nice natural shine and the coverage was okay on a good day  but I did have to use concealer under my eyes most of the time. 

For the price I paid for it, Im not disappointed. It doesn't keep my skin hydrated for 24hours, but it did give me a healthy glow.

I have the colour medium, pictured above.

I think I will finish the tube, but I wont be repurchasing it. I would like to try the Smashbox BB cream next, so hopefully I will be able to get my hands on it soon! :)
