TOP DRUGSTORE CLEANSERS

25/10/2015

Hello everyone, today I am going to be showing you seven of the (in my opinion) top drugstore cleansers at affordable prices, so without further a do, here they are:

1) Clean and clear, Morning Burst Shine Control- I used to use this face wash all the time for like two years and it made my face feel so refreshed and ready to go in the mornings without my eyes straining over school work. My favorite thing about this cleanser is that there are bursting beads.
2) Neutrogena, Blackhead Eliminating 7 day rescue - Perfect for oily skin removing oil and impurities that lead to those nasty blackheads.
3) Witch, Oil Control Foaming Face Wash- I really like this face wash for when my face is feeling rough and I want something soft and soothing to wash with because of it's smooth foamy touch it's perfect for those days.
4) Simple, Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash- This is perfect for spot prone skin, I would recommend this to teens and young adults prone to blemishes.
5) B. Pure Micellar Water- I bought this not thinking too much of it, as it was so cheap, but I was wrong. This is really good for if you can't be bothered to wash your face, just dab some of this magical water on your face with a cotton pad and hey presto, you have a clean face!
6) Garnier, Pure Active Face Wash- Targets and shows results for your skin immediately and has an extremely strong powerful ting.
7) Vitamin E, Hot Cloth Cleanser- Known to be really easy to use contains lots of vitamin E.

LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER'S NEW MAKEUP BRUSH COLLECTION

25/10/2015

0 Comments

Look Good Feel Better (LFGB) is a charity run organisation helping to support female teens and women through breast cancer treatments. LFGB give tips to these women on how to apply makeup in their circumstances and come to give things such as teaching and advice on applying makeup where hair is being lost due to chemotherapy.
The new brush collection contains twelve different options, all of the brushes apart from the retractable bronzer brush have wooden handles with strong metal holding the bristles together at the end. Every brush has been hand made and carefully cut to the perfect shape. The brushes are highly dense, which makes them perfect for creamy substances, but also good for powders and liquids, with super soft taklon bristles,making them allergy free, cruelty free and suitable for sensitive skin, who can resist?
If your'e looking to buy some new good quality makeup brushes then this is your chance, an average of 10% donation will be given to LGFB for every brush sold, which is brilliant!
I am going to be showing you three of the brushes from the LGFB range, first of all, here's what they look like:

First I am going to tell you a bit about the concealer brush:

I really like this concealer brush because it is so high quality, I don't think I have ever owned brushes as high quality as the LFGB ones, it's so soft and highly packed with bristles.
The precision cut of this brush enables me to be able to get into the most tricky inner corner of the eye with great ease, whoever designed this brush needs a round of applause.
At Boots the concealer brush is a standard £7.99, overall definitely worth the money.
Stars: 4/5

I would like to apologize about the rather creepy picture, (as you may be able to tell, I am not very good at clip-art).
I have done an image where the highlighted yellow area on the left of the face is a guideline of how where to put on concealer for a wide coverage (this may be helpful after a long partying night out), and the right side of the face is where to put concealer on for an average everyday coverage.
You can purchase this brush from Boots here: http://www.boots.com/en/Look-Good-Feel-Better-Concealer-Brush_1695301/

The second make-up brush I am going to show you is the LGFB foundation brush:

This brush has such a perfect precision cut to it so that it can easily glide and blend around the face wherever you want, whenever you want.
I love the look of these brushes how they have three different colored bristles and a white tip so that you can see how much of the product you have on the end of your brush, this helps because if you have put too much on you will be able to shake some off before applying and avoid bright red cheeks!
This brush is so incredibly comfortable on my face in fact I would give it a 10/10 for comfort-ability.
When applying foundation make sure to blend it in with your neck line so that you can make your look as natural as possible.
Overall 4/5
This brush is a reasonable price at £9.99 at boots, you can purchase it online here: http://www.boots.com/en/Look-Good-Feel-Better-Foundation-Brush_1691021/

Last but not least is my favorite brush of the three, the retractable bronzing brush:

This is my favorite brush because you can 'pre load' it, meaning that when you open the brush you can apply the bronzer to your face and if you are going out for the night, you can safely store the bronzer in the hygienically stored bronzing brush.
This is how the brush works:

Take the cap off.

Pull the silver metal ring down for a full working bronzer brush.

You should apply bronzer to the outer edges of your face , tip of your nose and cheek bones to give more definition to your face.
   Overall I love this brush and I would definitely give it a 5/5.
  The brush is £14.99, if this brush ever decides to die on me, I will 100% be buying this again.
  You can purchase this brush from Boots here: http://www.boots.com/en/Look-Good-Feel-Better-Retractable-Bronzer-Brush_1695291/

THE POREFESSIONAL/ WEEKLY FAVE

10/10/2015

0 Comments

Hello everyone, today I am showing you my weekly fave beauty product, I might be doing this sort of post every week, but let me know what you think down in the comments.
Any who, you may have guessed by the title of this blog post that my fave beauty product this week is....The POREfessional by Benefit Cosmetics. Here's a little pic of my cute little tube of amazingness:

Apologies for the horrendous photography by the way but at least now you have a good idea of what it looks like.
   I put this on before wearing foundation, I only wear powder foundation at the minute because I think it's not as harmful to your skin as liquid foundation and so I love having this primer to help the powder stay on.
   I was in Boots the other day and I tried out a Babylips primer on my face and it was absolutely horrible, honestly it was so sticky, I would not want to put it on my face. So then I got the Benefit POREfessional, expecting better results and it was so silky, honestly it was amazing, my face literally felt so soft and I didn't even feel like I was wearing anything on my face.
I generally tend to be on the lucky side because I have really small pores, however when I put on the POREfessional it looks like I have no pores at all!
     I am a bit un-supportive of the product when after I got it I found out that the product was tested on animals, so if your'e a nature protective person or whatever your called you may want to steer clear from the Benefit counter because they do test on animals.
   Overall I really like this product, it's my fave primer, I will probably buy it again, but first I want to try the MAC primer and compare the two. (let me know if you want to see a comparison post).

So that's my fave weekly beauty product post, let me know what your loving this week!
