My Hand Saviour

I have had dry hands for many years & over these years I have tried so many hand creams that claim to save your hands when there dry. With England being England… Hand cream is a staple in my handbag   and to find ones that really work are important. My hands become that try that they crack and bleed, if I apply this a few times a day the next day my hands are back to normal and then I carry on with this treatment every day to stop this from happening.

If you were like me and had tried all the 'brand' nail cream take it back to basics and have a go at this you can't go wrong as its only £2.75. If you'd like a comparison of all hand creams I have tried then let me know.

Here is a where you can buy it from.

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base

As my skincare routine is pretty basic I wanted to incorporate another step that can help my skin. I am only 19 so anti-ageing I believe isn't an option at this point and after logging onto the Bobbi Brown website I came across this vitamin enriching face base that I can apply just before moisturising or as a moisturiser.

It comes in a little pot like this which holds 50ml so you do get a lot of product. It smells divine and helps me to wake up in the morning, I apply it with my fingers and just rub it in, it's extremely smooth and melts into your skin.

This face base includes; Shea Butter, Carrot and Vitamins C & E. Vitamins C & E help to protect your skin against environmental damage which is a bonus because our skin is not cared for enough against the environment. This hasn't irritated my skin, but I have very easy skin to care for as I rarely have issues with spots at all. If you would like to see a face care routine comment below.

This retails at the price of £37.50 and you can buy it off the Bobbi Brown website here.

Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl Highlighter

This is my little sister Penny as you can see from the previous two posts on the Benefit Coralista blusher and Dallas bronzer she wanted to get involved on my blog so I used her for my model for this highlighter. 

After Benefit's high beam this is my second favourite highlighter that Benefit does. This I would say is a little more bronzed than the High Beam as that has a lot more pink tones wear as this is the highlighter is between High Beam and Sun Beam.

Girl Meets Pearl comes in a twist up tube, this i think is a bonus as you won't overuse product like you could do with the High Beam and Sun Beam applicators. Overall I love this highlighter and it is perfect for mine and Penny's skin tone which is fair, however I did use this on holiday when I had a tan and it looked amazing so i'm sure it would look great on all skin tones.

Girl Meets Pearl is a little more expensive than High Beam and Sun Beam retailing at £24.50 whereas the High Beam and Sun Beam are only £19.50.  Here is the link where you can buy this from.

Clinique Chubby Stick

This is the Chubby Stick from Clinique in the shade Heaping Hazlenut, this shade look like a scary brown in the on the tube as shown above but when applied it's a lovely brown toned nude as you can see in the photo below.

This is lovely and moisturising. Unlike MAC's Hue; which picks up any dry skin on my lips. I use this when i don't necessarily want a sticky lip balm but would like to still keep my lips moisturised and a little colour at the same time. I would buy it again if it wasn't for the £17 price tag. 

You can purchase this colour here. 

Let me know if you want more posts on lip products.

Clinique Chubby Stick

This is a lovely pretty pink chubby stick. Unlike my nude one this is nice for spring and summer and would just add a pop of colour to your lips. They are also intensively moisturising and are used as both a lip crayon and a lip balm. This colour is easy to apply and would still look great even if you were in a rush.

Here is where you can buy this Chubby Stick from.

I've done a previous posts on a chubby stick before which you can read here;

Avon Red Lipstick

I ordered this as it was in an offer that included a clutch bag, eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. It was a bargain deal as I absolutely love both the eyeshadow and this red lipstick. The packaging I feel doesn't look cheap and has held up for being bashed around in my bag.

Its a lovely rich red with blue undertones so it will make your teeth look whiter.

You don't need many applications at all, the only problem I have is that It does smudge quite easily so I suggest using a red lipliner and colouring all of your lip, apply the lipstick with a lip brush and then use a 1ply tissue and use translucent powder and dab it over your lips with the tissue on this should help seal it.

If you would like a video on how to make red lipstick last and not transfer then leave me a comment and I shall be happy to do this for you.

Benefit's Coralista Blusher

This is my little sister Penny she wanted to be included in my blog as she loves make-up, hair and nails stuff. She is modelling Benefit's Coralista blusher which is personanlly my favourite blusher of all time as you can see from the picture below it has been extremely well loved. 

As you can tell by the name it is a Coral pink based blush that has little bits of iridescent gold glitter which makes this a lovely colour to wear in spring and summer. However I still wear it all year round as I love it. 

If you are looking to start your benefit blusher collection I would look to buy this as it is extremely easy blush to apply and doesn't look garish whilst on. I JUST LOVE IT!

Coralista retails for £23.50 and you can buy it here.
