Dirty Little Secret Eye Shadow Crayon in Fetch
This is a lovely metallic rose gold shade without glitter that will suit anyone of any age.  It can be worn on its own blended for a daytime look or with other coordinating shadows in the centre of the eye to draw attention to the eye.





CLE Cosmetics Melting Lip Powder in Blushing Peach
Lovely peach shade which I feel is too bright for me I would choose a more nude shade.  Easy to apply and last a longer time.  It gives the lips a matte non-drying sheen that is great for daytime and evening looks.

Dr Botanicals Pomegranate Superfood Regenerating Sleeping Mask
When I opened the tube, I expected to see a rich cream that was strawberry milkshake pink.  It is white and a light cream.  This is an overnight mask that must be applied to clean dry skin, I didn’t apply any other serums or moisturisers.  Once my skin had dried after cleansing, I applied a thin layer of the product starting at my décolleté in an upward circular motion.  Moving up my neck not forgetting to apply it to the back of my neck then my face avoiding my eye area.  In the hot weather that England has been having it was lovely to apply a cream that is cooling on the skin.  When I woke up the next morning there was no residue just youthful looking skin.  After cleansing I noticed that my skin around the jaw area looked less slack.  It is recommended to use 2 or 3 nights a week.  I would apply this product on consecutive nights if you have an event coming up.  If not, then leave at least a night in between applications.


Number 4 Sugar Spray
I have a short pixie cut and this product helps me make it spiky.  I use it on damp dry and allow it to dry naturally.  It does not leave any residue though I have to wash my hair daily as I don’t like the feeling of hair product in my hair.  I feel that is more suited for someone with shoulder length or longer.




Rituals Happy Budha Foaming shower Gel
One word of advice be careful how you press the button to release the product -you may get out more than you wanted.  A small amount goes along way, I personally use either a cloth or sponge to apply this to my skin.  This is a unisex shower gel that smells of oranges and cedarwood.  It leaves the skin feeling soft and cared for.  I love all of the Rituals Foaming Shower Gels.

Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water

Bottle of Sukin Micellar Cleansing Water My hubby and I have been using Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, he had read an article in a newspaper and wanted to try it.  This has a fresh smell and both of us like it.  It cleanses the skin well and copes brilliantly with Benefit Roller Lash, it removes it without much rubbing.  I would hold the cotton pad to my eye for a few seconds before gently swiping it away.  There is no residue or stickiness, the fragrance doesn’t last long on the skin once the water is swiped over the skin.  We use both sides of the cotton pad remembering to wipe behind our ears.  Think we will be buying more of it and other products from their range.

Fenty Beauty Icon Semi Matte Lipstick

These are sample sizes which are generous in size.  They are a semi-matte lipstick and smell delicious of cocoa. They are very pigmented which means that they can be applied straight from the bullet, with a brush or with your fingers depending on the look you want to create.  They are long lasting and did not make my lips peel or feel dry.  Pose Queen – is a colour I would wear on those days that I am doing the weekly shopping in jeans etc. It great a great nude and I would wear it on my cheeks too maybe not my eyes – well that’s something to try in the future. The MVP – now this is the date or special occasion lipstick that you want to wear when you want everyone to notice you.  You want to feel powerful. Again, I might wear it on my cheeks – a small amount applied with fingers. Scholar Sista – perfect colour for the office and those Brunch dates.  It’s a shade that will go with everything and make you feel polished, professional.

Bottle of Bleach London Fade to Grey Shampoo Who for: Anyone who wants to maintain their grey hair colour First impressions: Scary colour for a shampoo After one week: Hair is softer and looks greyer than without After one month: To be updated Stockists: Bleach London, Boots, Superdrug, Cult Beauty, LookFantastic I want to improve the salt and pepperiness of my hair.  Well I would like to dye to grey but hubby won’t let me, and this is the nearest I can get to improving the greyness of my hair.  One piece of advice wash your hands after using the shampoo as it has stained my nails – not that I mind I want grey nails too.  The colour of the shampoo is a dark grey violet and is thick and unctuous.  I was a little worried as a patch of my hair seemed not to like it as it became thick and stiff.  But when I washed my hair and applied the second lot of shampoo, my hair became soft and nourished.  The way my hair feels after two washes of my hair with the shamp
