 Product: M.A.C. Cleansing Oil Who for: Anyone and everyone whether they wear makeup or not First impressions: Love the orangey smell After one week: Makeup is removed easily After one month: Not only makeup gone skin looks healthy Stockists: MAC Cosmetics, Boots, John Lewis I was sent this sample to try.  And I am glad I did.  The smell/fragrance is wonderful and makes it a pleasure to use.  It does not last long.  This removes makeup even three coats of waterproof mascara with ease.  I apply a small amount to my hands so that they glisten not drip with the oil.  Then I massage it into dry skin paying particular attention to my lashes to remove my mascara.  To remove it, I use a damp muslin cloth.  It leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated without residue.  This is a great second cleanse at night and a refreshing cleanse in the morning.

  Product: The Quick Flick Who for: Anyone who wants a flick but cannot do them First impressions: Hope you can see the flick over the hooded eye After one week: Its great gives that polished look After one month: Simple quick and easy look Stockists: Superdrug  I am envious of those who can o the perfect flick day in day out as I cannot.  I have tried numerous times to do it and it just does not work.  What I like about this is that you can get different thickness and colours – I bought the grand point in intense black.  As it is a stamp you can place it in various positions at the outer corner of the eye to create different looks not just the position of the flick but always the width of the line drawn afterwards.  This should be in everyone’s arsenal as it works with every time of fashion – jeans and T-shirt, smart casual, casual and work wear. 

 Product: BeautyPie Triple Hyaluronic Acid Elastic Lifting Eye Serum Who for: Anyone who wants their eye area to look firm and lifted without surgery First impressions: A little goes a long way After one week: Look more awake After one month: Eye area looks so much better Stockists: BeautyPie With using eye drops on a daily basis I have noticed that they dry out the delicate area around my eyes and my age I have to use an eye cream and this own has the benefit of temporarily lifting my hooded eyes which makes any eyeshadow or eyeliner I wear better.  My eye area looks brighter, less puffy and luminous.  I have tried eye creams in the past both this and BeautyPie Uber Youth Super Eye Energy Peptide-Infusion Cream I have noticed a difference in my eye area that I like and will be carrying on with them.

Product: M.A.C. Eye Pencil - Coffee Brown Who for: Anyone and everyone who wants a change from black First impressions: Lovely rich colour After one week: My new black After one month: My new go to eyeliner Stockists: MAC Cosmetics, Boots, John Lewis This is the final piece from the Summer Vibes Kit exclusively available from Boots.  It is a great alternative black eyeliner.  It is brilliant tight liner too.  The creaminess of the eyeliner makes it a dream to apply above the lashes without dragging and in both the top and bottom waterline.  Once applied it can be smudged for a softer look or left alone for a stronger look.  It does not budge.  It’s a great eyeliner to any look that you might be wearing – jeans and t-shirt or smart, even smart casual.
