Rock Face Minerals - Rave Review


I first reviewed and tested out a Rock Face Minerals back in September and today I wanted to talk to you about their mineral eyeshadows. I hadn't used any mineral eyeshadows before Rock Face Minerals eyeshadows.

Below are swatches of Titanic Odyssey



What's in my Titanic Odyssey ?

Contains mica (ci77019), titanium dioxide (ci 77891), iron oxide (ci77499)

Titanic Odyssey is described as a platinium grey with lots of sparkle. It applies like a dream and is well pigmented.

The eyeshadow is very reasonably priced at £7.00 for 2.5 grams,a little of this eyeshadow goes along way. Isn't it pretty ? It is part of a great range of colours.I would definitely repurchase this again.

Katy Perry O.P.I Collection

I mentioned a few posts back,that I would be providing some reviews and swatches.Today I will share with you swatches from the Katy Perry O.P.I Collection.(I received this set as part of my valentine gift from the boy)I hadn't tried any O.P.I polishes before this collection.


Without further ado, the collection.



From left to right The One That Got Away, Teenage Dreams, Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies.



Two coats of The One That Got Away and Teenage Dreams were applied. Three coats of Last Friday Night and Not Like The Movies.





My favourite colours from the collection are The One That Got Away and Teenage Dreams,I will be investing in full sizes bottles of these. I have to say I am very impressed with O.P.I,the polishes and Katy Perry.I am looking forward to trying out their other shades and the new pirates collection in May.I found the polish applies really well and dries quickly. O.P.I are also a cruelty free brand which is great.

Viva Glam Cyndi

This lipstick is rapidly becoming one of my favourites. I got this at christmas along with Creme Cup.

This is what MAC say Cyndi is a high-lustre finish and a light coral-red colour.






I really like the colour of this lipstick and find it, the perfect shade for this time of year. If you like wearing reds and want a shade that is subtle yet pretty, this is the shade for you. I haven't included a  full swatch of me wearing it.I find it tends to look different on everyone.This lipstick is creamy and very well pigmented. I can wear it all day and rarely have to reapply. I would definitely repurchase if it wasn't limited edition.

Dorothy Bubble Bar Review



As I mentioned in a previous post, for christmas I got some goodies from lush. This bubble bar was my first bubble bar from lush.


 Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate, Cream of Tartar (Tartaric acid), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Betaine, Perfume, Cocamide DEA, Ylang Ylang Oil ( Cananga oodorata), Orange Flower Absolute ( Citrus Aurantium dulcis), Gardenia extract ( Gardenia jasminoides), *Benzyl Benzoate , *Linalool, Colour 42090, Colour 14700, Colour 15510 * Occurs naturally in essential oils


What Lush Say  

Any friend of Dorothy is a friend of ours. This spring, we're taking you far from the rain and grey clouds to somewhere over the rainbow. Your bath-water will be as blue as the skies over munchkinland and the exotic scent of ylang and sweet figs will make you want to go skipping off to see the wizard. A better day awaits you at the end of our rainbow


My Thoughts
My bath water was certainly sky blue and the scent of the water was very refreshing and sweet. This bubble bar would definitely work for a morning bath  or a relaxing soak at the end of the day. I used all my bubble bar in one bath but I am certain you could get multiple uses from one bar.It's very reasonably priced and I will definitely be repurchasing this.

Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser Review.


I was lucky enough to receive the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser from Liz Earle's PR Team.
When I received it, It was beautifully packaged. It was like opening a present !






 History

Liz Earle's Naturally Active skincare was founded in 1995 and has 15 years of botanical beauty expertise. Liz Earle are passionate about all they do and create products that work on every skin type by harnessing the potent powers of the finest quality naturally active ingredients. Liz Earle products offer a simple, no-fuss and dependable routine for everyone.

Now you have seen the packaging, onto the product.



What's in my Cleanse & Polish ?

It contains Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao),Hops Extract (Humulus lupulus), Rosemary Essential Oil/Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis),Chamomile Essential Oil/Extract (Anthemis nobilis),Eucalyptus Essential Oil (Eucalyptus globulus),D-panthenol,Glycerin and Beeswax (Cera alba).


How to use ?

Cleanse daily morning and night using this two-step process:

Step 1: Massage 1 or 2 pumps gently onto dry skin over face and neck. Free from mineral oil, its rich and creamy texture swiftly removes all traces of face and eye make-up, including stubborn mascara.

Step 2: Rinse the pure muslin cloth in hand-hot water and wring out before gently polishing off the cream to gently remove dead skin cells and help reveal clean, soft and radiant skin.

Splash face with cool clean water and follow with Instant Boost Skin Tonic and your choice of moisturiser.


Liz Earle say

We only make one cleanser because this formulation is the ultimate in concentrated yet gentle cleansing power and works on every age and skin type.

Our plant-based cleanser has a 2-phase action, phase 1 is the cleansing. Free from mineral oil, it has a rich and creamy texture and swiftly removes all traces of face and eye make-up, even stubborn mascara.

Phase 2 is the polishing. Polish off the cream using the pure muslin cloth to help gently dislodge dead skin cells and help reveal clean, soft and radiant skin.
Use morning and night with pure muslin cloths to reveal fresh, radiant skin.
Naturally active ingredients include eucalyptus and cocoa butter for smoother, clearer skin.

 My thoughts
It is very easy to apply and a little goes along way making the price very reasonable at £11.50 for 100ml. I expect this to last me around 4-6 months. You can purchase the cleanse and polish in a variety of sizes from 30ml - 200ml.

I like the versatility of this product as it saves you having to buy a separate makeup remover, which also saves on storage.It is great for travelling and takes up minimal room in your bag or suitcase.

I find after using the cleanse and polish all my makeup has been removed and it leaves my skin feeling really clean and fresh. I would repurchase this again and recommend it and the brand.

Liz Earle are a cruelty free beauty brand, they don't test any of their products or ingredients on animals.
