👀 (L) BeautyPie Steely Taupe Wondercolour Longwear Cream Shadow Stick (R) BeautyPie Velvet Wondercolour Longwear Cream Shadow Stick  Who for: A smudge proof, crease proof matte cream matte eyeshadow First impressions: They seem darker in the bullet with a slight shimmer After one week: The most perfect cream eyeshadow I have used After one month: It lasts and doesn’t crease Stockists: BeautyPie Because of my Dry Eye and MGD, I have had to stop wearing powder shadows.  I wanted a matte cream eyeshadow that wouldn’t budge, or crease and I think I found it in these shadows.  They are creamy, easy to apply straight from the bullet or with a brush.  They can be blended to create a smoky eye or patted onto the eyelid using a finger to create a light wash of colour.  They can be worn together or separately.  Once applied they didn’t crease or smudge or move as some eyeshadows have done.  I still had them on when I was completing my night time cleansing routine. 

BeautyPie Super Moisture Lip Balm Who for: Anyone who wants a nourishing moisturising lip balm First impressions: Love the texture and smell of coconuts After one week: My lips are soft and hydrated After one month: Perfect to wear on its own if you do not want to wear lipstick but want something to protect your lips Stockists: BeautyPie My lips are as sensitive as my eyes.   Lip balms can cause my lips to peel.   This lip balm is so soft and nourishing that it hasn’t caused my lips to peel.   I apply it as part of my morning and evening routine and throughout the day whenever I need it – my lips never feel sticky.   It smells wonderfully of coconuts and it isn’t sticky.   I apply it to my lips by patting it on rather than rubbing it on and have also used it on my cuticles, they have never look better since applying it to them.   I am glad I have a membership to BeautyPie so far I haven’t tried a product that I or my skin didn’t like.   To me this is the best

👀 Benefit Roller Liquid Liner in Brown Who for: Anyone who wants to create the perfect flick or line their eyes with a matte liner First impressions: The felt tip is long enough and flexible enough to create the perfect flick After one week: Love using the tip to create the perfect flick After one month: Can be used to line eyes without a flick and/or delicate or thick line Stockists: Benefit, Boots, Debenhams, John Lewis Winged Liner created using Roller Liquid Liner Again, I purchased this when I saw it on an Instagram post letting use know that it had been launched.  Most of my eyeliners in the past have been black – I ordered the brown.  I admit that I prefer a matte look to my eyes as I don’t want to draw to the redness that I permanently.  I am not the greatest at creating a flick and found that placing the felt tip where I wanted my flick I could create it easily.  The tip is also flexible so that you can draw very close to the top lashes an

👓 Benefit Roller Eye Bright Highlighter Pencil Who for: Anyone who wants to look awake First impressions: It will be very noticeable After one week: Love it After one month: Its perfect for the inner corners Stockists: Benefit, Boots, Debenhams, John Lewis Having seen this on Instagram, I bought it from Benefits UK website.  I had bought it before I was told that I shouldn’t wear anything in my waterline which I have tried, and my eyes were red and very sensitive.  I apply it to the inner corner of my eye and had no problems. I do like this pencil – the texture is perfect if you want to blend it or leave how it came out of the bullet.  My first thought that it would be very noticeable as it has a slight shimmer, but it isn’t.  The colour seems adaptable to whatever skin tone it is applied to, again I was worried that it would be too pink for my colouring I was wrong.  It works well when my eyes are red due to irritation or from being too tired as I have no

Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum Who for: Anyone who wants to improve the texture and fine lines on their face and neck. First impressions:   Won’t cover my neck and face After one week: Saw a difference in my skin in the morning. After one month: Had to stop using due to Dry Eye/MGD Stockists: Elizabeth Arden website and counters within Department Stores I received these capsules through the post from a website offering to try them for free.   I had seen Nadine Baggott try them and thought I might give them a go.   I am undecided whether I need to use Retinol or Vitamin C as I am happy with the way my skin looks and feels.   I don’t mind the fine lines I have around my eyes and lips.   The capsules make it so easy to apply the right amount of serum, I must admit that I thought it would not be enough but was pleasantly surprised that it did.   I would apply it at night after cleansing before moisturising.   It sunk into my
