March loves and hates
This month has seen me buy so many new products it been
really hard to pick out just a few things which I loved however the hates were
oh so easy to pick.
Loves
Realtechniques Stippling brush (£11.99 at boots) I’ve always
been a fingers girl when it comes to foundation having tried countless brush
from the likes of Mac, No7 and even models own who I normally swear by. The
realtechniques brush leaves all the other in a cloud of dust, the hair is just
so soft (unlike the models own brush) while the finish it creates is spotless a
real complement considering how quick I apply my make up, I defiantly won’t be
going back to finger any time soon.
Benefit ERASE paste (£19.50 from Debenhams) in the shade 2
medium - my trusty Mac studio finish was running low and I fancied trying
something new having used the Mac one for over 4years. For those that don’t no
the ERASE paste comes with a little spatula which I promptly through in the bin
big mistake, unlike studio finish this concealer really benefits from being
warmed on the hand then dabbed under the eye or any other area you would like
to conceal, the formula is creamy and such a close match to my awkward skin
tone I am genuinely amazed big thumbs up. Plus it even comes with instructions
for those new to concealer
Maybelline the FALSIES volume express mascara (£7.99 boots)–
I actually picked this up by mistake as im not normally a fan of Maybelline mascaras,
this one has kinda changed my mind all the formula does create massive lashes
(hence I love it) the brush is a bit of a pain to work with. Will I repurchase
possibly but will defiantly be trying more of the brand – hence it well
deserved place here
LYNX Attract for her (£3 boots)– My boyfriend picked this up
for me and I’m glad he did as it not something I would normally even look at. The
sent is really hard to describe it kinda of girly but not making it ideal for
my more masculine sport of taekwondo..........I’ve actually been and bought 6
cans as it’s a limited edition. Will defiantly repurchase if they make it a
long term product
The hates and I mean hates
Marks and Spencer’s Coconut body polish – I actually can’t remember
when I bought this but started using it at the beginning of March and still haven’t
managed to get rid of it. Although the sent is lovely it just not a strong
enough exfoliator for me, the little bits of coconut shell are buried in the
thick wash meaning you either have to use loads of it or accept it more of an
all over wash or extremely gentle.
Avone Shine attract lipstick (£8.50)*in the shade P4 Happy
Pink- Im really glad I didn’t pay for this lipstick the first time I used it I
fell in love with the colour however after 1-2 uses the outer layer (clear) dries out
making it almost impossible to get to the colour buried in the middle. Overall
the most messy and frustrating lip product I have ever used
