So my dry January didn't last very long... I promised myself (and Cal) I wouldn't buy anything this month and I went to London on Tuesday with my friends and we had a little lookie in Lush and Newlook and I found some goodies. Like I always do.
My only justification for any of these products is I had to repurchase the Mask of Magnaminity. I had a little melt down earlier this month when I realised my beloved tub was quite a few months out of date... not that you could tell! It broke my heart to through it away but I thought it was probably the best option. This time I picked up the big sized tub since I go through it quite quickly. It is my favourite ever face mask and leaves my skin so healthy and clean. I have included it in a few blog posts already including my Top 3 Face Masks and my Lush Skincare Collection.
The second mask I purchased was the Rosey Cheeks fresh face mask which I have been hunting for for ages now. Quite a few people spoke about this face mask on YouTube and it was always sold out in my local Lush so I had to get it when I was in London. It is to combat redness on the face and I sure have a lot of redness on my round face. I've used it once already and it left my skin really soft and even.
My last Lush product is the Eau Roma Water Toner Water which I am really interested to try. I used the Tea Tree Toner a few years back and didn't think it was anything special but the woman in store said that this toner is great at putting moisture back into your skin and I sure need that right now.
The first Newlook product I purchased was the Mattifying Primer in their beauty range which had been recommended to me by at least 5 people. When 5 people you know like a certain product it usually means there is something to it. I haven't tried it yet but if it is as good as everyone says it is, you might see it very soon in a favourites post.
Lastly my final product is the Newlook Pure Contour Palette in 29|Brown Pattern which I am really excited to use. All the contour shades are matte which was one of the reasons why I wanted to try this out so badly. The packaging is your basic palette with a huge mirror so that is a plus side. As for the contour product I am yet to use any of it but I am planning on writing a post detailing whether this is worth the £6.99 or not. Keep your eyes peeled!
Newlook have done it again with even more beautiful shades in their reformulated lip stick collection. Since my last post I have purchased another 6 shades plus two lip crayons from their collection.
I love Newlook lip sticks because they are so creamy and rich, the colour lasts a long time on your lips and for me, they don't leave my lips flakey or dry like some lipsticks. They also come in such a wide range of colours so no matter what you are into, there is a shade for you.
My first shade is this gorgeous dark nude shade called Camel which I have worn non stop since I bought it. It is a more darker browner nude shade then the previous two that I purchased and its my favourite out of all of them. I have been wearing this shade during the day at work while I am wearing big eye make up. Strawberry is an amazing bright red shade which is more on the pink side. I haven't had an opportunity to try out this shade yet but I know it will be perfect for the summer time with rosy cheeks. Magenta is a fushia pink shade which I have had my eye on for some time and then it went into the sale for £2 so I couldn't resist a cheeky purchase. Again I haven't tried out this shade yet because I am too obsessed with dark eye shadows but I can't wait to give it a whirl. Mid Pink is a darker fushia shade which has become a favourite of mine lately. Its darker then the Magenta shade but not so dark that you can't wear a smokey eye with it. Bright pink is my most adventurous shade that I purchased and I did purchase it on a bit of a whim but it is so beautiful. It is a typical barbie pink shade. My last lip shade is this lovely dark red shade with a hint of plum in it called Burgandy. I love this shade with minimal make up and the shade really suits my skin tone.
I recently picked up two lip crayons too in the shade Camel and Plum. The colour pay off for these crayons are really good compared to other lip crayons I have purchased. The crayons are moisturing on the lips and the colour lasts for most of the day on me. The Camel lip crayon is very similar to the Camel lipstick but a little bit more creamier and moisturing and the Plum crayon is a super wearable dark plum shade.
If you have never tried the Newlook makeup range I would strongly recommend you try at least one lip product from them. I usually pick these lip shades over all my other lip products so they are definitely worth a try in my opinion,
I never thought I would ever write a post on underarm deodorant, it's not exactly the most glamorous product to talk about but we are all grown up here and everyone sweats. Even Cheryl Cole (or whatever her new last name is) sweats! Guess that means I'm basically Cheryl Cole!
I've used spray on deodorants for most of my life and they have never really worked for me. I didn't particually like the feel of roll on deodorants either so I didn't really have much choice. I bought this Mitchum Advanced Oxygen Odor Control Technology Pure Fresh Antiperspirant and Deodorant - that's a month full- about two months ago to try as I wanted to find a new good antiperspirant before the heat wave came along. It had a lot of press saying it was a good product so I forgot about my roll on past experience and decided to try it.
It's nothing like I thought it would be, the product is actually dry instead of wet and when you roll it on to your underarm area it leaves white product on the skin. It isn't a big amount that will be noticeable or rub off on your clothes so you don't need to worry. From what I have gathered since I started using it, it works be drying out your underarm skin and this stops your armpits from producing sweat. That may not be the true science of it but that is how I feel it works on my own skin.
I have used this during most of the English heat wave these past weeks and it has been a life saver. I use the roll on first thing in the morning and my underarms are still bone dry when I get home in the evening, that's what I call a good deodorant! The white particles that are left on your skin can be brushed off before you get dressed and since using this deodorant, I don't think I'll ever go back to a spray.
I was a little worried that because of the way it works, it would dry out my skin too much and leave it irritated or sensitive but luckily it drys your underarms enough to stop you from sweating and stops there. Other people have commented saying that the product has dried out their skin too much and left it sore but I guess I am a lucky one.
The roll ons do cost around £3.20 which can sound expensive when you can get other brands for just a pound, but I feel like the roll on with last such a long time compared to other brands. I may be wrong about that so if you buy one and it lasts only a month I'm sorry don't come after me! To me, paying £3 for something that works really well at stopping me sweating is a good price, especially since it seems like it will last a good amount of time.
