BENTONITE clay mask .. with ACV

Hey beauties,

Happy new year and thanks for stopping by. Am kick starting the year by paying more attention to my skin. It’s the largest organ of the body and it high time I gave it some TLC.

BENTONITE clay was on of the buzz words for 2019 so I thought I would check it out for myself. I chose this mask because I want to stick to natural beauty products were possible. Also I have heard wonderful things about the purifying and cleansing properties of Bentonite clay

The video has all you need to know about putting the product together.

Here are 6 points to consider.

  1. -Ensure you buy authentic Bentonite clay for a reputable retailer. I order straight from the company to avoid issues with counterfeit products.https://www.aztechealingclay.co.uk/shop
  2. Do a skin test to ensure your skin an tolerate this movement.
  3. Do not use metals with this product.
  4. Cracking and skin tightening sensation is normal while product dries.
  5. Bentonite clay masks can cause skin to feel dry. Make sure you use a quality moisturiser after use.
  6. I suggest leaving this product for as long as you can tolerate but no more than 30 minutes. This is usually enough time for the clay to extract toxins from your skin.

I would recommend using this product twice a week.

Enjoy the video and dont forget to leave your comments, suggestions or questions below.

Nyx Lip Lingerie review -EXOTIC 

2 Comments

Just when you think you have enough lipsticks…. you come across one that’s a slightly different shade to all you already own.

Plus I could not go to the USA without buying any lipstick. I have 4 sisters and this is only lipstick left from the ones I bought 😒😒.

Really loving this lippie. It’s got a little more umph than your average nude.  This colour is described as a warm mahogany red. It’s perfect for this season.

As you all know… I have reduced the amount I spend on lipsticks significantly.  I find the cheaper ones are most times just as good as the big brands.

I love that this lipstick really dries matte. It doesn’t feel tacky like some other lipsticks do. It is also very light and does not feel cakey when I apply multiple layers.

To top it off I Don’t have to scrub my lips till it’s red raw to get the lipstick off at the end of the day.

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This product gets several thumbs up from me. Can’t wait to try on the other shades.

Give me a thumbs up if you have enjoyed this mini review.  I have a few move new lipsticks that am loving and want to review.  Let me know if this is helpful. X

M.A.C Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour -Red Jade review

2 Comments

Hey guys a flash review of the MAC matte liquid lip colour in Red Jade. This was a blind purchase in terms of buying it without actually seeing the colour in real life. My decision was based on the colour shown on the MAC site. 

This lip colour is applied as a liquid but it drys matte.  I loved these types of lipsticks because they are very long lasting and do not transfer. Although this is called a Red Jade, it has an orangy undertone.  Shades like this are very vibrant and great for the summer. I was so pleased with the colour. Totally my kinda thing. 

I had some challenges applying this lip colour. In order to avoid streaks I had to apply 2-3 coats. DO NOT pat down once the lipstick has started to dry.   I mad this mistake and had to start over because it caused clumping .

I really like the applicator. The shaping helps with going round the lips for better precision. So far I have had lots of compliments on this lipstick.  I bought it here with 30%off.  The great news is that MAC are doing 20% off all products right now using the discount code mac20. So you can buy this and other similar fab products.  

Have fun.  
See you soon.

MUA LUXE Velvet lip lacquer – Gravity

Leave a comment

So this is the last of the 3 lipsticks bought from the MUA LUXE velvet lip lacquer range. 

Today am wearing the shade Gravity.

This colour did not disappoint. I have been trying to build my collection of nudes and this fits perfectly into what I have already. 

The product is marketed as Long wear. In all honestly it last me all day. I usually have to use a makeup cleanser to remove this lipstick at the end od the day. Am sure you are all wondering if there is any transfer. You will be pleased to know that there is no transfer once dry.

Hey… if you have tried other shades in this range let me know your thoughts. Amy recommendations are welcomed in the comments box below.

MUA LUXE Velvet lip lacquer – Euphoria

Leave a comment

Hey guys … so today am trying out the Euphoria Velvet Lip Lacquer.

Not sure how to describe this lipstick.  It looks very Pinky in the hand. Almost like a baby pink.

However on applying it, it is super bright and rather luminous. 

This is not for the faint hearted.

While am growing to love this shade I found the application some what difficult. The colour was streaky. So in my effort to combat this I applied various layers …ooooops. BIG MISTAKE ! Sadly this just made the lipstick very thick and a little crackly.

I decided to tone this lip colour down by lining my lips. 

I have one more lip colour to trial.   Stay tuned . Let me know which colours loving so far

MUA LUXE Velvet lip lacquer – Sizzle

Leave a comment

Lipsticks are a girl’s bestfriend.  It’s even better when you find a good buy. 

You can image the glee when I found out the superdrugs were doing 3 for 2 on beauty products. I didn’t plan on buying this lipsticks but the offer was too good to miss🙈

I spotted the MUA LUXE liquid lipstic and thought I would give it a try. 

Totally impressed by the colours available. Cool nudes and some vibrant blue shapes.

I opted for the Sizzle as I do not currently own any rusty orange shades of lipstick.   This is exactly how I would describe this lipstick. A rusty, burnt orange tone. 

This lipstick tub is well designed with a light frosted finish.  

I like the pigmentation of this lipstick. Well worth the £3.  Yes I said £3. It dries fairly quickly so you have to be quick. Once dry my lips do not feel hard and dry, or crumbly like most matte lipsticks. 

I will keep you all posted on how I get on with the other shaded that I bought. 

This product was purchased from Superdrugs.

Primark- PS Matte Long Last Lipstick (Atomic) Review

4 Comments

So I recently lost my lipstick bag😯😯 and some fabulous lipstick shades. I was so gutted but I have been having a blast rebuilding my collection💄💄💄.

I went back to Primark for a mini haul .

This product is marketed as a matte lipstick.  I found that it’s not as drying or matte as the likes of MAC or Lime Crime. In a way I liked this.  Non of that chapped lips look .

image

image

This pink shade is called Atomic. It reminds me soo much of the Utopia by LimeCrime.  But at a fraction of the price…. winning.
I did a little comparison just for you.

PS Matte Long Last Lipstick

LimeCrime Utopia

image

The Lime Crime is a few shades deeper but they are equally fabulous shades of pink.

image

This lipstick is a bargain at just £1.50

Get yours now ! These lipsticks sell out fast at Primark.

Sometimes girls just ‘wanna’ be girls. I find the colour pink to be so girly but once in a while it’s good to indulge.
When am on holiday there are no heels rules. When I can, I wear the highest heels I have and cause a lot of commotion because I know in a few days or weeks I will pack my bags and be on my way.😃😃😃😁😁😁😁

Nails Inc spray can Review

Leave a comment

So it’s been some weeks since I posted my initial look/ how to /review of the Nails Inc Spray can.
Weeks later I am in a better position to comment on the durability of this nail varnish.

image

I had not thought of this till I looked at this picture.  This product is perfectly designed to fit into the hand. The can is not to small or to big for that matter. I guess it all makes for easier use and application .

image

It claims to be the fastest manicure.  Well.. if your only considering the time it takes to spray the paint and allow it to dry… then you might be onto something . But once I factor in the time I spend prepping for application ( covering my furniture ) and then having to wash the excess off my finger.  I am not sure it’s so fast. I definitely would not be using this product when am in a rush.

image

To my suprise this product adhered very well to the nail as long as you apply your base and top coat.

Now for what you have all been waiting for.

Does it last.

Well…  it held up pretty well. It can’t be compared to your nail gels etc but it didn’t do too bad either.
The picture below was taken one week after application

Feel free to check out my video review below.
