Lime Crime Velvetines

Going back a while I went to the Beauty Show in the RDS and picked up a few bits and pieces. One of these was the Lime Crime Velvetines liquid matte lipstick. I got the shade Red Velvet. I've never used any products from these guys before but was told it was very long lasting which I love the sound of,  there's nothing worse then having to keep reapplying lipstick all day or night long or every time you take a sip of your drink. 

I tried this the next time I was heading out and my sister tried it as well. We both where really impressed with how long it lasted. I was sipping away and eating nibbles all evening and it hardly made a difference to my lips. 

It goes on really silky and creamy and was easy to apply with no bleeding or leaving marks on my teeth (most embarrassing thing ever). It doesn't feel very dry on and didn't leave my lips dried out and was easy enough to take off compared to some long lasting  lipsticks I've tried out before. I won't name any names but I once ended up with my lips stuck to each other, kind of felt like tar and took forever to get off. The matte effect is really nice and the shade is a perfect red, not to orange or dark just a nice red which I loved from the moment I saw it. I sometimes think I'm a bit too pale for reds but this one doesn't make me too place at all, not for winter anyway. 

The second time I wore it I did need to reapply it but only after wearing it all morning and afternoon, so that's not really that bad at all.

What I found on ebay

OK so I think at this stage everyone knows how addictive eBay can be right? You know you go on for a little look or to look for one new make up brush and a hour later you have found about an million new things that you now have to have and can no longer live with out being yours. Well at least I hope others are like this too or maybe I need to rethink my life lol. Well this is what happened to me I went on eBay (why did my tablet come with the eBay app 😕) to look for a new powder brush as my old one has seen better days and I thought I would get a cheap one to do me for now. That's what the plan was but then I saw all these lovely pink brushes and start to think well a lot my brushes have seen better days and they look good and they don't cost that much. Oh and then I saw the lip plumping suction tools or whatever they are called. I keep seeing these and am dying to give them a go even if its just for a bit of fun. I've seen a few posts and videos about them and they all say there about €20 or so but these where €8/8.50 for all three sizes. Crazy so I couldn't close the page I had to buy them. The other brushes where all very well priced too. Actually this whole lot only cost €25 at the most including potage. The only downside is the waiting for them to come so I can play with it all 🙌. I will of course do a proper post about them all when they arrive which should be fun trying out the lip plumper things lol. But for now I thought I would share my fantastic finds.

February Favourites

I haven't ever done a favourites post before but this month I have had so much that I like that I decided to do one. I have six products that I would like to talk about, some I have already reviewed and some I have only just found or repurchased.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I know that everyone and their mother must know about this product by now and actually my own mother has actually started to use it and really likes it and mainly for the same reason that I do. It's not the first time I've used this. I have actually just repurchased it after not using it for a month or so and have started to love it all over again. This is so gentle on my skin but also leaves a really nice clean feeling. I use it to remove my make up as well as a cleanser for daily use when I'm not even wearing makeup. I suffer from eczema especially around my eyes which flares up very easily and I find a lot of cleanser or make up removers sting my eyes leaving them irritated and red for a while. Once something does irritate it it takes a few day to clam down. I haven't had any irritation from this at all which is such a relief. It also lasts forever, well not actually forever but takes a lot of use to even make a good dent in it. I use it every morning before putting on anything on my face and again at night when taking off make up.

Boots Time Delay.

This is a double action containing Instant Tautening Gel and Anti Aging Cream.

This month I tuned 27 and I know that's not old or anything (please don't tell me it is, I'm still trying to convince my self its not) but I know I should start using some anti aging products to prevent aging and I have always taken care of my skin and don't want to neglect it now. My sister recommended this and the fact that I should be using it ( thanks Ais if your reading this :/) and at first I was maybe a little insulted but then relished I should be in fact be using something like this.

It smells nice which is what I first noticed. It feels lovely on, it's not a heavy cream or gel and its not sticky. It absorbs really well and leaves my skin soft and although it has an instant tightening effect form the taunting gel it doesn't feel like my skin is tight and stuck. I use it twice daily once in the morning and once in the evening. It's not an expensive product and it's definitely cheaper then similar product from different brands. I have always liked boots brand products and found them good quality this is included in this.

Essence XXXL Long Lasting lip gloss 

Shade 07 Silky Red

I recently posted a review of this which you can have a look at HERE so I won't go on to much about it. What I will say is that the Matt Effect of this lipgloss is great and it is definitely long lasting I have no faults with it what so ever and being Essence is not going to make a dent on your pocket either. 

Essence Like an unforgettable kiss fragrance

This definitely makes it to the favourite list because I just can't stop using it. I love the smell so much I can't get enough of it. It's fruity and floraly and to me smells of summer and so girly. Yet again not expensive at all. It was under €8 another reason to love Essence. I did a full review recently which you can check out HERE .

Essence XXXL longlasting Matt effect lipgloss review

I recently bought this Lipgloss from Essence and had to do a review of it after wearing it I love it so much. This is the Shade 07 Silky Red.

This is my favourite lip product at the moment for three reasons.

1. The Look and feel.

It feels silky and creamy on, it's not sticky or thick. The texture feels really nice on and light. It's not a lipgloss that makes your lips feel like they might stick to each other or a glass. Then there's the Matt effect. I have seen so many people wearing Matt lips but wasn't sure if it was for me. The words lipgloss and Matt effect don't sound to me like they go together but actually they do and the Matt finish is fantastic. It's no lie that I love my lip glosses, who doesn't love a nice creamy shiny lipgloss ( maybe just me lol) but sometimes it's nice to mix things up a little and I do love my lipsticks and matts these day a little more then shiny. 

2. The Colour

The colour is just right. It's just the right shade of red, not to dark and not orangey toned like some other reds. I think this shade is good for my skin tone. I'm quite pale especially right now since my tan seems to have disappeared already :(. There is nothing worse then a red that makes you look so pale someone asked if your feeling all right. This has happened to me before and I've learnt my lesson.

3.It Lasts

 It is actually long lasting. The first time I wore this I only had to reapply once over the whole night, even after sipping away on a few drinks. I hate when you apply a lipstick or gloss take one sip of a drink and have to reapply constantly.  

Overall this is a great lipgloss and it's such a bargain it was under €4. I bought this in Penney's as an impulse buy because who can walk past the makeup stands in Penney's and not pick up something on the way to the tills.... no one, well not me anyway. I think I'd like to try some of the other shades of this too maybe pink because I do love pink lol.
