Charlotte Tilbury - Bitch Perfect | Lipstick

I did it, I've bought a Charlotte Tilbury product! I cannot seem to get away from all these fabulous products that I just had to buy something when payday rolled around. 

What a beauty ay!?

I had been spending a fair amount of time on the Charlotte Tilbury website which I actually really love and I know everyone has been raving about the matte lipsticks but matte lips just aren't for me, soz! I've been wanting a new lipstick, I'm only just exploring with lip colours, I'm all about the eyes but I really fell in love with Bitch Perfect Lipstick. 

It's a kind of nude shade, but I'd say it's a few more orange tones than pink but it just looks so gorgeous on. 

I had to be careful with this lipstick because when I just whacked it straight on my lips I think I was a little heavy handed and it just didn't look right. The packaging actually suggests you apply this with the lip brush so the second time round I took heed of the instructions and it looked perfect...Bitch Perfect! I must admit I don't technically own a lip brush, I have too many face and eye brushes but I did actually have a very small Real Techniques detailer brush which is a bit small but it kinda does the job. Also I have found that when I just dab this lipstick on and gentle run my finger over my lips it also looks really good. 

I have to admit that this lipstick is a little more matte than I thought it would be, it's far glossier in the pictures online than what it is in real life, but it's still really lovely. If you don't like a bit of shimmer then this lipstick isn't for you, it has a real nice sparkle to it but not too in your face, so fear not. 

I'm incredibly happy with this product and love love love the packaging, you can't go wrong with rose gold.

Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Pads | Full Review

It's time for the full review of the NIP+FAB Glycolic Fix Pads! As you may have read in my previous post on my first impression I said I would do a full review after I have given enough time to actually see whether they would worked. 

I must admit I was so impressed with the product after only using it a few days I was so excited to see how it would actually work on my skin. I have quite badly scarred acne skin, most people would probably say it isn't that bad, but to me it is and that's what matters. 

Originally I started using them twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening but I found that over time I just kept forgetting to use them before bed so I started using them just in the morning before my moisturiser and make up. I found that when I used them twice daily that my nose would get quite shiny and a little oily by midday, it wasn't awful but it was noticeable to me but as soon as I started using them just once a day the oiliness disappeared and I have no problem at all. 

Now onto the actual results, I must admit it's going to be hard for you guys because I don't have any before or after pictures but I can still tell you exactly what I think of the product. Hands down this is the most amazing product I have ever tried. I know this is a pretty bold statement but these little pad actually resurfaced my skin to reveal gorgeously smooth skin. 

I could tell the Glycolic Fix Pads were actually working because I started to notice some of my deeper scars. What happened with me was that as the pad started to resurface and smooth out all of my bumps it started to highlight some of my deeper scars which makes sense doesn't it.  I really don't mind the fact that some of my other scars a slightly more prominent because what it actually means that that my overall scarring has reduced and I'm left with fewer scars. 

I can only speak about my results, I don't know whether everyone else have experienced this type of success but for me, I'm honestly so impressed and I'm going to repurchase these every time. 

In fact, I have even bought the Glycolic Fix Overnight Serum which contains 4% glycolic acid to try out and will definitely be writing a review on that product because now I actually trust the brand enough to try more. 

Have you tried the Glycolic Fix Pads or anything by NIP+FAB?

Queen Bee | Candle Holder

I really love homewear items and usually the more neutral the better, in fact you can see my love of all things cream in my bedroom tour.

However I was away in Doncaster and I saw a shop called Additions and it was having a "closing down sale". Just from the window I could see that was a lot of neutral/cream items so I thought I must go in there. To be honest, a lot of the stuff didn't really interest but I did happen to see the gorgeous black and gold candle holders, they really stood out. 

Oh yes, you can call me Queen Bee!

I don't know why I love it as much as I do but there was just something that I thought this would look great in my room which is an ocean of magnolia. I loved the little honeybee of course, but the black an gold just stood out. They had 3 different sizes and this was the smallest of the 3 just big enough to fit (snugly) one tea light. I must admit I was kind of torn whether i should buy one or two. I mean I like a bit of symmetry but I couldn't envision two in my room. I was actually thinking how nice this would look on a cream shelf with a couple of books and this just sitting on the end. 

This originally was £1.99 and I got it for £1.49, not a massive saving but I think it's a pretty good price actually. I love it!

The Great Outdoors | A week in pictures

As you may or may not know, last week I decided to take a week away from work, blogging, people and visit my grandparents up north in Doncaster. 

I came back very relaxed and thought I would share just a couple of nature pictures I took whilst I was away. 

Enjoy!

Sally Hansen - Airbrush Legs | Review

I love a bit of fake tan and am not shy to using it but recently I forgot to take it with me when I went away. I didn't really fancy buying some more however I thought I would check out to see whether my local Asda had anything when I came across the Sally Hansen - Airbrush Legs.

I've always wanted to try this product as it's not quite a fake tan but more like "make up for legs" but the really impressive thing was the price. In Asda this product was knocked down to £1.50 instead of £7! The one thing I will say about the selection Asda had was that they didn't have a very good shade range, but still for that price I had to try it out and I went for the lightest shade available which was Tan Glow. 

The can instructs to spray the product on your hand first before applying which I was a little worried about because as soon as I sprayed it on it was an incredibly dark brown liquid and all I could think of was having fake tan hands which is awful! Personally, I would never use my hands to apply this product again, it didn't stain my hand at all it washed off perfectly actually but it doesn't leave a flawless look on my legs, it goes a little patchy. I will definitely use a mitt next time. 

It only takes 60 seconds to dry but I will admit, this particular shade is a little too orange for me but it wasn't awful.

I would definitely like to try this Sally Hansen - Airbrush Legs in a different slightly lighter shade because over all it is a good product, it lasted very well I was really impressed and I'm just going to use a mitt next time.
