L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick

Hello All :) 

Happy Mid Week... Its a Wednesday which only means one thing; its only 2 days until the weekend!!! For anybody that works in a "normal" job - that's music to your ears i'm sure. However, i am yet again on a weekend of night shifts, which doesn't fill me with joy. 

As i mentioned in my HG Mascara post, i made full use of the Boots 2-4-1 product offer. I just find it too hard to say no to these things!  I (obviously) purchased the Falsh Lash Telescopic Mascara, Super Liner Perfect Slim and a Caresse Lipstick.

To be honest, i didn't really need a lipstick but hey, you can't look a gift horse in the mouth! 

I picked the shade "202 - Impulsive Fuchsia". I had decided the other day that i own faaaar too mant pick shades, yet i instantly fell in love with this one. Oops. 

The Packaging is simple -- 

(Sorry for the bad quality - its dark and snowy outside!)

L'Oreal say "Soft Light Weight Feeling Colour" --- Check

"Fresh Colour" --- Check

"Meltingly Soft" --- Check

"Pop of Colour" --- Check

"featherlight Feel" --- Check.

So overall, i do agree with how they market it. Although i wasn't impressed with the longevity of colour. I wore it on a night out with my work colleagues, and i noticed on my second cocktail, that the colour had transferred on to my straw. Soon after we had some photos, and i noticed it had worn off completly. Therefore, i am a bit annoyed about that, as the colour is so beautiful yet it just doesnt last! I had to re-apply a fair few times. 

As you can see on my swatch, the colour is quite translucent, though it does have a glossy look. It isn't extremely pigmented which i would of expected after seeing the product itself. I was really hoping the colour pay off would be the exact same shade as it is in the tube but never mind, it's still very pretty!

Would i recommend this? Possibly. It is ideal for just day-to-day wear, although i wouldn't suggest it was ideal for a night out. It does what it says on the tin - it's a very pretty colour, it feels extremely light and glides on beautifully.

I do believe this is still on the 2-4-1 offer in Boots, and this range comes in 12 colours for you to pick from :)  

Holy Grail Mascara Combination

Oh Hiii there!

I meant to blog this last week, but as i mentioned in my Garnier post, i've had some horrible shifts so just haven't had the time. HOWEVER -- here i am! I'm currently on my lunch break so whipped the laptop out and want to get this done before i'm inundated with work again!

So, HG mascara combination. I am literally IN LOVE with this magical combination, and cannot see myself straying, which is saying something as i am a HUGE mascara whore. 

The combination in question? Lancome - Cils Booster & L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic. 

Its quite hard to photograph the L'Oreal as its in a lovely mirror like tube, but i have tried!

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with my eyelashes. I have lots of them, but they are a total pain, none of them go in the same direction, some are longer than others.... blergh.

I refuse to leave the house without mascara, and i refuse to put mascara on without my Cils Booster! I just find it makes my lashes behave! Sounds silly, but seriously, they all go in the right direction and don't go clumpy. I also find they look longer when i have a coat of Cils Booster. 

These are my lashes without anything... argh! I also have no makeup on whatsoever, so please excuse the state of me...

So as you can see, my lashes are nothing at all. Hence why i won't go out without mascara!

I was going to take a photo of just Cils Booster on, but to be honest, it didn't really show much. So i skipped to the next photo where i have 2 coats of Cils Booster, followed by the L'Oreal.

Hopefully you can see a HUGE difference!!! I am seriously in love with this combination. I wear Cils Booster with whatever mascara is my current favourite, however i think i have found my HG mascara in the False Lash Telescopic, and i don't think i'll be straying for a long time. 

I'll be totally honest, it was a bit of a last minute, unplanned decision to purchase in the first place. I was buying a lipstick for a night out, and was looking at the new L'Oreal butterfly effect mascara, but a lady who works in Boots told me that the False Lash Telescopic was her favourite ever - so i thought i'd give it a whirl. And boy am i glad i did. I literally cannot rave about this mascara enough!

About the actual mascara itself - L'Oreal state "the innovative lengthening fibre formula builds intensity, lashes look elongated" and i would 100% agree. I don't have a problem with plastic brushes, and i know some people do - but this is seriously the bee's knees (although, did you know, Bee's don't actually have knees... hmmm!) 

Since wearing this mascara, i've had so many people ask what it is, or whether i'm wearing individual lashes. 

I bought it from Boots when they had a 3-4-2 offer on (i think they still do?) so i also bought a lipstick and eyeliner, which i will try and review at a later date. 

The L'Oreal Falsh Lash Telescopic rrp's at £10.99 - for such a fabulous mascara i think this is a pure bargin!

The Lancome Cils Booster rrp's at £21.00 - somewhat pricey for a eyelash primer, however i LOVE it - i have tried others such as MAC but to be honest, nothing compares.

Garnier - Moisture Match

Hello Guys & Dolls.. Its been FAR too long since i have last blogged :( which makes me sad. 

I've just been insanely busy, my shift rota has been a bit all over the place and i've had a stint of nights which has left me super tired and with the biggest bags under my eyes!

I'm currently on my lunch break and work has been MANIC due to the 8 inches of snow that has fallen in our county over 24 hours. Bit of a nightmare really!

I just wanted to let you know about the new Garnier tailor made moisturiser. 

They have a new range of 5 different moisturisers; Protect & Glow, Start Afresh, Goodbye Dry, Wake Me Up and Shine Be Gone. Each one aims to work for your skin type, to give your skin the boost it needs. 

There's a little quiz on the website where you answer 5 simple questions and they work out which moisturiser it is that you need, then fill in a few details and Bobs Your Uncle - you get sent a sample!

I did this about 2 days ago so hopefully my sample will be here soonish and then based on my initial thoughts i'll blog about it and *hopefully* i've found my perfect moisturiser!

You can get your free sample from HERE like i said, it literally takes 2 minutes to answer and fill out - so you have nothing to lose!
