Ooh La Lift

What Benefit say:

Why we love it: Legendary under-eye brightening boost...this delicate pink balm is like an instant eyelift!

What else you need to know: Contains raspberry extracts and light-reflecting pigments to instantly perk up tired eyes. Can be applied on bare skin or over makeup.

What I say:

Why i love it: This has become a staple piece in my morning routine and I'm not one to hype a product that doesn't work so take my word for it, it really does!
It makes my eyes looks instantly brighter!

What else you need to know: I was advised by the make up artist at the Benefit counter to mix a little with my Erase Paste and that's what I've been doing ever since i bought it, works a treat.

Erase Paste

What Benefit say:

Why we love it: This concentrated, creamy concealer brightens and camouflages in one easy step! Targets dark circles, discoloration and imperfections.

What else you need to know: Three shades with brightening melon undertones to suit every complexion. Comes complete with a fully illustrated, step-by-step lesson and mini-spatula for easy application.

What I say:

Why I love it: The tiniest amount goes a long way, banishes (OK hides!) dark circles and any other blemishes you don't want to be seen in a quick swipe and dab dab pat. Ta'da!

What else you need to know: As i said before, works great with Ooh La Lift also helps to warm it up a little beforehand, makes applying a whole lot easier.

Porefessional

What Benefit say:

Why we love it: Quickly minimize the appearance of pores! Apply this silky, lightweight balm for translucent pore coverage and smoother-than-smooth skin. Pores... now you see 'em, now you don't!
What else you need to know: Lesson included! - Oil-free for a silky smooth finish.

What I say:

Why i love it: As well as doing a great job of giving my skin that smooth as a baby's bottom texture it also smells amaaaaazzzzing!!! when i first tried this i spent the whole afternoon wondering what smelt so damn good, Oh... its just my face! :p

What else you need to know: This works great over make up too, gives a mattifying effect which is great for oily skin (a more than likely common issue if you've open pores).

Not forgetting... a FREEEEEBIE!!! Highbeam

I decided to get high beam as I've already got the full size posietint and a mini benetint.

I got a mini high beam in the Celebutante palette and loved it hence the tough choice.

(I'm kicking myself for not getting all 3 tbh!)

What Benefit products are you loving atm???

Playing the waiting game

I've a few things on order which i cant wait to get my hands on.

expect plenty of reviews over the next few weeks or depending on when they arrive as some are in very high demand!

Things on order

• Nip and Fab Frown Fix - Ive been dying to get my hands on this product for quite some time now, i went in to boots 3 times in a week because a sales assistant said it was due in... (nothing out of the norm really!) Anyhow after tweeting about my despair the lovely Nip and Fab got back to me and suggested i order direct from them as they always ship to their customers before any company or store, so i did.

• Jewellery from LOVEHEARTS AND CROSSES jewellery.

• Jewellery from GiftGirls

Update: as of today we can add a sneaky little ASOS order on to the waiting list ;)

Excited!

"Shopping is cheaper than therapy"

I've been a busy little bunny lately and thought it would only be right to show you the pretties I've bought recently.A side note: Primark is a dangerous place! even if you don't want, need or have any intention of buying anything, you will... its a given.

I decided to pick up a few bits for the days i will be spending at Leeds Festival, Oh and some for well just the sake of them being pretty i suppose.

Top: Primark £6.00*

Shorts: River Island (Previous purchase)

Top: Vintage

Shorts: Primark £10.00

Top: H&M £5.00*

Shorts: Primark £10.00

(seen them before? I couldn't decide on the dark denim or the light so i um got both?!)

Earings: Primark £1.00, £2.00, £2.00

Feathers are absolutely everywhere at the moment, on earings, necklaces and even hair extensions??!! (I'll be grabbing some of those soon!) I love how the orange just pops on the white and you cant really go wrong with classic black, last but not least the peacock (love)

Earings: Select £2.99

I love a cute pair of earings and cute these are.

Nail Varnish: Select (BeautyUK) £5.00*

These nail polishes were a cheap and cheerful purchase, they cost around £5.00 for 6 small bottles. The colours are gorgeous but they do require a few coats (above picture: 4 coats along with a top coat)

Shoes: Select £25.00I very rarely if ever go in to select but i saw these in the window and couldn't resist trying them on... which lead to buying them.

Cork & Nude = Had to have them, perfect the summer wardrobe

Shoes: Garage shoes £35.00

Although i fear for my ankles when wearing these they are remarkably comfy and i LOVE a good sky scrapper heel! I've been pairing them with everything from maxis to my all time fave Topshop skinnies.

Sleek - GLO Face and Body Highlighter

Sleek - GLO Face and Body Highlighter

Shade: Peach shimmer

Another great product from the Sleek makeup range and I'm still amazed at the quality especially at the bargain price it is selling for.
Although a bit on the shimmery side (clue in the title i suppose!) i blame my heavy handed applying method, this will be my go to product for the summer, I'll make note to apply sparingly as a little certainly goes a long way.
The palette consists of pretty peachy tones ranging from dark bronze to an almost white highlighter and in combination work little shimmery wonders.
