Product I love Today - Day 7 

Nivea Lip Butter 

Again a product that so many people have loved, recommended and repurchased again and again. Nivea Lip Butter's are a must have product in my handbag and on my night stand. I have the two varieties vanilla and macadamia and raspberry rose. 

These lip butters are so luxurious on the lips. The are not sticky, they condition the lips and smell amazing. They give a really nice sheen to the lips and leave them feeling so soft. This lip better is such good value for money - a good quality lip balm that can be used as a conditioning base for lipstick or in its own. Every makeup bag should contain one

MAC Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator 

I generally do not use skin care products from MAC except the eye makeup remover as when you use as much Mac eyes shadow as I do it only makes sense to use it! I was excited when I saw this product advertised; just the words volcanic and exfoliator in the same sentence conjured up so many thoughts. I always exfoliate my skin as I agree with all the benefits we are told of exfoliation – bright skin, less breakouts and over all brighter skin. 
This product is really good! First thing that hit me was the colour – it is a dark sliver/black colour with is strangely appealing. I just could not wait to slap it on my face! The consistency is rough, it consists of tiny particles of fine sugar that act to unclog the pores and remove dead skin cells. 

It is rough but not harsh and this is one of the reasons I really like this product so much. It has a dual purpose in that it can act as a cleanser also as it foams when rubbed into the skin and water is applied. This product is from the mineralize range therefore it is packed with minerals and this must be the reason my skin is so soft after use. I also found this exfoliator excellent to use on elbow or knees when I am trying to exfoliate before applying tan. 
 Over all I really like this product. I find it effective yet gentle on the skin. It really does remove dead skin cells and leaves the skin bright. 


What exfoliator do you use? Please leave a comment as I love to try new products. Thanks for reading my post and I hope you find it helpful

Product I love Today - Day 5 

 Nude Skin Highlighter by Dior 

*Apologies for the quality of these photos’s my camera was not at hand so had to resort to using my phone. 

I read a few reviews of this product and watched the ever talented Tanya Burr use it a few times as she completed beautiful make up looks that my decision to purchase was a definite! It was a little difficult to find, as it turned out more people than me were in the pursuit of a extra shimmer to their skin. Finally found, tried and tested and the conclusion drawn - I it! Yet again the Doir makeup range impresses and offers us users a high quality product the is simply beautiful on the skin. 

This magical powder is a subtle combination of fine mother-of-pearl in a transparent base. you can lightly apply it to the cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose and the chin and watch the glow on your skin cone alive! The powder aims to attract a maximum amount of light and recreate the dewy glow. It is leaning towards the natural look ( let's face it not many of us awake naturally with dewy perfect skin) but does not leave u fake, plastic or too polished looking. 

The texture is very soft and powdery. I prefer to use a brush for application rather than the applicator provided as I find my brush gives a more even finish. It blends really well on the skin. It comes in a plastic compact complete with sponge type applicator and mirror. 

I have been wearing this product a lot since I have purchased it. I think it adds a really delicate pretty finish to my cheeks, acts a perfect highlighter for the brow bone and a touch of shimmer in chosen spots around the face and neck! 

Overall I am a fan of highlighter and this product is really good, a stable in my makeup bag for summer. This product does exactly as it promises, it adds instant illumination to the skin.

Mint Green Phone Cover with Bow Detail 

I am like a little jackdaw bird, I am attracted to all things shiny, sparkled and new! For this reason it comes as no surprise then that I absolutely love to change my phone cover. When I change my cover i also change the wall paper etc. As I say a new cover is like having a whole new phone! At the moment I have a white iPhone 4S so luckily there are many covers to choose from but today I am in love with this mint green bow detail cover!

This cover was bought on eBay where I find many of my covers. This one in particular is one of my favourites. It is hard casing which means it protects the phone handset really well ( I can be very clumsy)
It is mint hard plastic with a different sized pears attached. It is like the pearls are melted into the plastic as they don't budge! In the top left corner is a pear embellished bow! It is really pretty, ties in with the pastel trends and lets face it a little bit different!

The Wide Iron By Cloud Nine

 

I have the type of hair that does need styling (even if only a small amount) practically every time it is washed. I just have a natural kink that needs taming !! I have traditionally been a GHD user but due to a a seriously disappointing experience when I repurchased a new model I took the advise of my hair stylist and purchased a cloud nine wide iron. I am so glad to tell you that from the very first time I used it I loved it!
 
The wide super smooth plates and curved body allow you to straighten, wave or curl more hair, faster.
 

 

 

 

It has an excellent variety of heat settings meaning you can control the level of heat applied to your hair. You can also decide on the heat temperature most suitable to achieve your intended style. For example Approx 100-125 pdegrees for s straightened fine hair or lose waves or 150-200 degrees for thick/medium curls or barrelled waves. You do not need to go over the hair a number of times or repeat straightening this product completes its task swiftly and effectively! It does not drag the hair while straighening or when using to create waves etc.
 
One thing I really liked about this product (in addition to its effectiveness) is the actual design. It is handheld, non slip and very easy to manoeuvre and manage. It comes with a protective cap you just pop over the plates. This protects against burning and also protects your plates from damage or scratches. It also comes with a black felt finish long pouch with a drawstring. This has a dual purpose as in you can use it as a carry  bag for your cloud nine or as a heat protective mat when flat.
 

Over all I could not be happier with this product. It does exactly what I want it to do while at the same time giving me control over the levels of heat I apply to my hair. Priced at €125 approx it is, for me, well worth the price tag. It is no surprise at all that this product has won the best straightner award for 2013.

I love this product !! For more information click here

SeeByChloe Eau De Parfum

A few weeks back I finished a bottle of one of my favourite perfumes in Dior Addict 2 so I went in search of a perfume that satisfied my longing for a spring summer scent that was light and fresh. Introducing my new addition to my perfume collection SeeByChloe!

I fell in love with this perfume the moment I smelt it. This perfume is fresh and light, it has a distinct scent of apple blossom, flowers and a little jasmine. It is a young girly perfume that just leaves a little whiff of summer in every spray.

I also really like the bottle – it really reminds me of a little bird cage. It is simple, light weight and perfect for your handbag.

I am really enjoying using this perfume, it defiantly has mood lifting qualities or it just evokes images of summer days when I wear it. Why not go have a little sniff and try it out!

What is your favourite spring scent at the minute?

Product I Love Today – Day 1

• TOPSHOP Lipstick in Tease

Oh what a pretty lippy! This is the ultimate Barbie pink shade of lipstick. Never really a user of TOPSHOP make up I has been seriously impressed with this lippy.

This lipstick is a matt finish lipstick and is moisturising for the lips. I really like the matt finish. It is matt but in not drying and the shade of pink gives a bright look to the lips. It is also really long wearing which means that I don’t need to keep reapplying.

The shade of pink is really bright but not cheap and tacky looking. The more you apply the richer the pink shade you can achieve. It is a really nice just worn alone but also really pretty to add a clear or very pale gloss to add a shine.

So many people have complimented this lippy when I have worn it. I can honestly say this lipstick will be a definite in my makeup bag for the spring/summer months to come.

Have you recently been using a lipstick you love? Do tell me about it...... I absolutely love to hear about new finds. Please leave a comment below telling me.
