Natural Blush by GOSH

This is the blush I was using a while ago. GOSH is a company available in Superdrug.Few years ago I remember using their mascara and eye shadow and was quite happy with the quality. 

I'm quite pale so I always look for something natural for everyday use. 

A blush that you can basically use without looking into mirror :)

What I like about this one is the colour and the texture. It gives you a very natural look and it's buildable but with no cakey finish. I used to use this colour for a natural day to day look. I think for the price around £ 6.99 you can get a good product with a really nice finish. Excellent product for a fair skin. Doesn't come with a brush or a mirror.

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner

If you love Eco products this company is a must for you. I have to say I have got quite thick long hair so this conditioner as it's sulfate free was not the best choice for me. I had to put a lot I mean A LOT of product to be able to brush my hair after all. Used pretty much the whole bottle very quickly. I know these type of products are good for your hair as they don't have sulfates and parabens but I have to use spray conditioner after it which is double the product really. Anyway it is safe for coloured hair and restore the moisture in your hair. Have a look at the website http://www.organixhair.com/. Vanilla range smells delicious as well.

The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla

 

Products I have used: Bubble Bath, Shower Gel, Body Butter, Lip Balm, Hand Cream and Scented Candle. I must say I love vanilla scent. It's probably my favourite in a winter when it comes to body care. From the range I really liked Bubble Bath, Body Butter and Hand Cream. Body Butter and Hand Cream last for a really long time and even tho The Body Shop has got a massive range of body butters we know that some of them don't stay for to long. This range is more about scent than body care as I haven't noticed any big change when it comes to my skin. But I wasn't buying it for care I was more buying it for the scent. Scented candle does leave vanilla aroma but it is not to much so won't give you a headache. Shower Gel was just an ordinary one I have to say. Used with other stuff from the range was building up the vanilla smell but used on it's own was disappearing quite fast.  I also enjoyed Lip Balm from the range. The most disappointing product? Probably Shower Gel.

All About Eyes by Clinique

It's like when you don't know which product to buy for your eyes,this is the product you can buy without testing or looking at reviews. Creamy, quite light consistency. Reduces puffiness, helps to reduce dark circles absorbs quickly and can be also use under make-up (which honestly I never tried). Just a good eye cream to start with,when you don't know really which one to buy. It's the kind of product when you realise you have to start to use something under your eyes but don't want anything to strong yet.

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara 5 Carbon Black Mascara

 



I really like L'Oreal and this mascara is not bad. It's not the best I have ever used but for the price it does the job. First of all it makes your lashes look much thicker and longer. You can apply up to three coats if you wish and it still looks nice with no clumps. It's a very very black mascara so quite hard to remove as it does leave some black stains under your eyes so you have to use more eye make-up remover or wipes. After a long day I also noticed some black marks underneath my eyes in out corners but you have to remember I have got oily to combination skin so my make-up doesn't stay in place the whole day. Anyway I really wanted to try this mascara and apart from two minuses (black marks and hard to remove) it is a really good mascara for a good price especially if you are looking for a really really black mascara.

Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation

Day moisturiser with a touch of foundation. If you have a good skin, with no discoloration, large pores or acne why using a foundation all the time? I used to have spots and a bit of an acne when I was younger. Now my skin looks far more better than it used to. I think I'm used to use foundation all the time but the summer is here and I thought why not give it a try some tinted moisturiser. I bought two. One is origins VitaZing and I will do separate review on it. Second one is Olay cream with a touch of Max Factor foundation. Very good product. Protects your skin (SPF 15), it's anti-ageing  (good for 30+) and on the top of it even out your skin. It's like a tinted moisturiser but has got a bit more coverage in it (will cover some light discoloration or small spots). If you have got good skin it's perfect for summer and even for colder days as it's got quite rich formula. It's the only tinted moisturiser with a bit of a coverage I ever used. If you heard about any other ones with nice coverage please leave a comment.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Refresher Spray

I love dry shampoo. I think washing and drying your hair to much damage them. Because I have got quite greasy hair I would have to wash them everyday. This product helps me to avoid it. I know they say you should wash your hair everyday if you need to,but I strongly believe it's not so good either for your hair or your scalp. So what can I say about Volume Refresher. It absorbs oil and it gives your hair a body during the day. For example when you are planning to go out but don't have a time to wash and blow dry your hair this product is a MUST! Not only it works as a dry shampoo but also gives you a volume. The only minus is that it leaves a bit of a white marks on your hair. You can just brush it out.

Vichy Purete Thermale Purifying Foaming Cream Cleanser

I used to use Vichy products when I was younger. Most of the products I used were really good. This product I bought last week as I remember how I used to like it. It's a bit pricey £11 but very nice to use. Takes off all my make up. Cleans my face properly leaving it fresh and feel nice. Transforming from cream to a mousse/gel mousse (I love mousses). I wash my face and eyes with it and it doesn't irritate them. More for combination to oily skin rather than very dry but it is formulated also for sensitive skin as it's said on the tube.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Thickening Blow Dry Lotion


I bought this product as my hair gets longer and becoming really flat. It's a thickening lotion but I don't really need my hair to be thicker all I need is some volume.How to use it? Just spray the product on towel dry hair concentrating on roots (that's what I do) and section of your hair that really needs volume and style as usual. I style my hair using either big round brush or with  Tresemme Salon Professional Volume Styler (I will do seperate review on this product). What can I say. It's a really good product. Maybe it won't make your hair double the size but it does exactly what it says. Last at least a day with my thick hair which is good comparing to other products. Lifts your roots and it's very easy to use. Unfortunately I cannot say anything about thickening effect this product does. It's not very pricey as you can get usually 3 John Frieda product for a £10 as an offer in Boots, Superdrug or even in Tesco.

Foamburst by Imperial Leather

Everything would be just great about them only that they don't last long :(. I always buy them when there is an offer like buy 1 get 1 free because they just last around maybe 2 weeks (or do I just use a lot?). The smell is great, there is a shower & shave option as well although I never used it for shaving. If you want a great foaming product that's the best choice. I love it because it does smell great and it stays on your body,you feel fresh and clean after having a shower for longer. There are like 6 or maybe more scents and the price is no so bad. Anyway I had probably all of them so far but took a pic of 3 I recently bought when there was 3 for 2 offer :).

Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara by Estee Lauder



I was very confused with this mascara. Firstly I had a sample I got from Estee Lauder and the sample was really good so I rush to buy a big one one day and...Hmm a bit disappointed. I can assure you the original one wasn't so good as the sample and didn't last long. But apart from this its still a very good mascara. The brush is not too big, has a good shape which allows you to do corner lashes (thinner at the top) so its easy to use for the bottom lashes as well. The only minus I can say was it did not last so long as the sample.
