{GIFTED} Lola Lip Pencil

-
Lola Lip Pencil
Who for: Anyone who wants effortless precision application of a lip pencil

First impressions: It is a peachy nude not sure it’s the right nude for me

After one week: I love the colour

After one month: I love the fact that I can wear it on its own or under lipstick

Stockists: Lola Make Up, Indulge Beauty


When I first saw this lip pencil, kindly gifted to me by Lola, I thought its colour was sandy rather than nude.  The brush on the other end of the pencil is brilliant for correcting mistakes or smudging/blending it.  The formulation is soft and glides onto my dry lips and doesn’t make them drier it actually nourishes them.  It feels like velvet on my lips, as the photos below show I have lines around my mouth, this lip pencil didn’t bleed into them nor did it come off when I kissed my two boys – they hate it when I leave my lipstick/pencil on them.  It lasted all day and was easily removed using my IT Cosmetic Cleansing Balm.  Some lip pencils I have used in the past have stained my lips this didn’t.  I have worn it on its own or under Benefit They’re Real Double the Lip Bare Affair to help define and make the lipstick have a little more staying power.  It creates the perfect natural looking lip for every day wear and for those occasions when you need to feel more polished.

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
