FOTD #1

Hi!

I'm really sorry I haven't written a blog post in ages (the past two were written by Ruby), but I have been working on a separate secret project *ooh how exciting* for our blog, and all my spare time has been spent on that. But I'm back with something new, so lets get started!!

Products used:

- Benefit POREfessional Primer (sample) (Universal)

- Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (Shade - Ivory)

- Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder (Universal)

- Bare Minerals Matte SPF Foundation (Shade - light W15)

- Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil (Shade - Brownie Points)

- Maybelline Great Lash Clear Brow and Lash Gel

- Elf Brightening Eyeliner (Shade - Black)

- Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm 

- Benefit They're Real Mascara 

- Real Techniques Buffing Brush

- Real Techniques Detailer Brush

- Eyeko Velvet Lash Curlers

I went for a quite a natural look today as I couldn't be bothered with eye-shadow and I was only going over to my friends house. 

To change it up a bit and add some oomph to my normal make up I lined the outer half of my eye with my eyeliner and used my detailer brush to smudge it out. This gave it a nice smokiness without looking too done up. The Nuxe lip balm is absolutely amazing. It is a bit pricey for a lip balm but I only use it in the morning and it lasts at least 3-4 hours on my lips so it's worth it!! It's also perfect for going underneath lipstick as it acts as a sort primer allowing a smoother application and longer staying power. If I wanted to smarten up this look a bit I would add my MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Creme Cup, which Ruby very kindly bought for me for my last birthday. It's a gorgeous pinky nude that's perfect all year round.

Thanks for reading and we'll see you soon!! I'm going to Cornwall on Thursday so expect a rather long blog post on that!!

I hope you found this of some use, and if not.. oh dear.

Enjoy! X

Soap & Glory : Smoothie Star Collection

This post is all about Soap & Glorys Smoothie Star Collection! it's going to be a review and just a general talk about this range, because I love it! Within the Soap & Glory range, there are lots of scent and the scents then usually have a body wash, body butter and scrub. This ranges price varies from £8.00 to £10.50. Much like the others this range consists of a body butter, a exfoliating scrub and a light body milk/lotion.

I love this range, because of the scent. The scent of this range is almond, cocoa, yogurt, oats and honey! Its a sweet yet sort of nutty scent. I personally think it smells like canadian maple syrup and pecans or maple and pecan cake!I adore this scent, because it reminds me of maple and pecan cake, which reminds me of my grandma, because me and my mum made her maple and pecan cake for her birthday! Its a sweet yet sort of nutty scent.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body lotion - £10.00

This prduct confused me quite a bit! Now don't laugh, but I originally thought this was a body wash, because it is in the usual bottle like other body washes from soap and glory. The funny thing is that it makes a pretty good body wash and lotion. It lathers up and because of the milky texture it's so moisturising when wet and dry. I have only used this product as a body lotion a dozen times. But I would say that this is a average body lotion. It does the job and smells amazing!

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub - £8.00

 I love this product, it is pretty much the perfect scrub! I use this scrub on my legs and it just polishes them off and preps them for body butter. It is also perfect for preping your legs for shaving, because it gets rid of dead skin and smoothes your skin out. It is a fairly gentle exfoliant, but it is heavily scented, so not perfect for really sensitive skin.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Buttercream - £10.50

This is definatley not the worse body butter i have used but it is not the best either. I would say that this is a slighty more thick version of the other body lotion. It has a mousse texture, which doesn't make it that much if a rich body lotion, more of a creamy one which makes it nice for summer. But this product was a bit of a disappointment for me!

Hope you found this post helpful and interesting, if not well...... you should have!
