The Body Shop

 

Firstly we are sorry for being gone about a month, college assignments and work had taken over. But hopefully now we will be sticking to our schedule to post again every Wednesday and Saturday.

So its exactly a month to Christmas and its 2 days to our birthday wooooooop!!!! Anyway todays post is going to be a review of 5 products I was given from The Body Shop to wear at work. As you have probably worked out now I work at The Body Shop, I am only a Christmas Temp but fingers crossed I get kept on. It's so much fun everyone is so nice and The Body Shop truly treat there staff very kindly, hence why I got given 5 free products.

Starting of with their new foundation-Fresh Nude Foundation. This foundation  is made up with great properties including rose water which makes it smell lovely and creates a gorgeous glow to the skin. I find this foundation lovely when you want your skin to look healthy and fresh. To apply this foundation I use my fingers, it works really well and its nice and quick. I don't actually wear this foundation to work because It means I would have to powder during my shifts. But I love it for those days when you don't really fancy wearing much makeup but want something to make you look alive. The coverage is medium you can build it up however I just use concealer on the areas I want more coverage.

Next I chose a shimmer waves in the number 02. So a shimmer waves is a shimmery blush/highlight. I LOVE this product so much. On top of the fresh nude foundation you just look so fresh faced. Its beautiful! I use the 2 light shades as a highlight, catching it in the light it looks even prettier. You cannot go wrong with this palette especially as it works just as good as eye shadows.

Moving onto eyes I picked up one of the shimmer cubes. These are amazing so pretty and work wet or dry. Either way they both look just as lovely. I love this palette because you can create either a natural eye or build it up to be smoky. I love wearing it as a smoky eye that's why I also picked up the duo eye definer in the brown colour. I apply this to my waterlines and blend out with a small brush. I have been enjoying this recently because it reminds me of Cheryl Fernandez makeup. And who doesn't want to try and look like Cheryl.

Lastly I was recommended one of the colour crush lipsticks in the shade 240. This colour is gorgeous its a winter purple- best way I can describe it. Its not matte but I would say it is a satin finish. These lipsticks do last a long time however talking to customers 24/7  on a shift does make it come of so I wear a lip liner on underneath.  

That's everything for todays post- I hope I have made you all want to visit a Body Shop store now. These products would make good stocking fillers!

American Makeup Haul- Part 2

 

1.) Lipsticks! Now my main priority was to buy lipsticks whilst in America. This is due to the fact I LOVE lip products! So what I had brought lip wise in America is listed below:

Milani 'Black Cherry'- This dark plum colour is perfect for those wintery days.

Milani 'Plumrose'- This is an every day pinky/nude shade.

Milani 'Matte Passion'- I bought this because it looks similar to Kendall Jenner's limited edition lipstick with Estee Lauder.

Milani lipgloss 'Bare Secret'- This is great for an everyday lip.

Revlon 'Black Cherry'- yes I know the Milani one looks the exact same and has the same name but what can I say I love dark lipsticks?!

Elf nude lip balm- This is sheer but a nice formula for the lips.

Wet 'n' wild 'Think Pink'

Sephora lip crème 'Already Red'

Elf 'Rich Red' lipstick

Now onto the base, I only bought 1 foundation which was the Covergirl 3 in 1.

For the cheeks I bought Milani blush in the colour 'Luminoso' and Physicians Formula Argon Oil blush which is 'exotic blushing glow'. For bronzer I bought a palette that comes in four shades from Elf.

 

For the eyes I bought the Covergirl clump crusher mascara and a eyeshadow palette from Wet 'n' Wild which is called Walking on Eggshells.

That is all I bought from America excluding a lot of Key rings from all the places we went to!

American Makeup Haul-Part 1

 

 

As you can tell from the photos above, that when I was in America I bought just a bit of makeup! Most of it though was from the drugstore, only 2 bits where from Sephora. Which I must say would be the perfect heaven. And plus when you are from Britain you need to take advantage of the American prices for makeup and all of the many more things they have!

 

From Sephora I purchased:

Tarte Amazonian clay 12hr blush-Fearless

Sephora Lipcream- Already Red

 

CVS and Walgreens:

Physicians Formula Argon Oil Blush-Exotic Blushing Glow

Milani Baked Blush-Luminoso

Milani Lipstick-Black Cherry

Milani Matte Lipstick-Kiss

CoverGirl 3 in 1 Foundation-805

CoverGirl Clump Crusher-Black Brown (Mainly because Ellie LOVES it)

Wet 'n' Wild Eyeshadow Palette-Comfort Zone

Wet 'n' Wild Lipstick-Think Pink

Loreal Infallible eyshadow-Amber rush

Loreal True Match-W2

Elf Matte Lip Color-Rich Red

Elf Hydrating Under Eye Primer-Clear

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream-Milan

EOS Handcream-Cucumber

 

We have missed last weeks post because Jetlag had its toll as well as the fact we started college the day after we arrived back from America. So there will be part 2 coming tomorrow. Also, starting Tuesdays for the next 6 weeks there will be posts of each state we visited in the US! The series will be called 'Tuesday Travels'. So there will be 3 posts a week for the next 6 weeks.

Tanya Burr Cosmetic Haul

The first bank holiday of May I went onto FeelUnique.com and was very lucky to see that Tanya Burr had a 50% of everything so I took advantage of it and bought these 4 things:

Lipgloss-Champayne Toast

Lipgloss-Smile, Dream, Sparkle

Eyelashes-Pretty Lady

Eyelashes-Bambi Eyes

The reason I bought the lashes was because I have been wanting to try some out for a long time but always put it of because I couldn't be bothered. But I had no excuse when they only cost me £2.75 each. Tanya's lipglosses are also my favourite because the formula is perfect its not tacky/sticky like the Mac ones and they smell like strawberry laces! Why wouldn't you like that? The colour range is really great to. I will definitely be adding to my little collection! Go check out Tanya's collection because they are very affordable, fantastic products!
