Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

There are literally hundereds of review floating around the internet for this product, but as usual i want to put my two penneth out there.

I must admit i only bought this because of the reviews id seen, and as summer was coming up i thought a lighter foundation/tinted moisturiser type product sounded perfect. And i wasnt wrong. Id also recommed shopping around because its always on offer in Boots or Superdrug, so theres no need to pay full price!

Good Points

*If youre having a good skin day, this will make it even better. If your skin is clear this is a really complimentary product for that

*It brightens your skin and is lovely and light. I read a review which said something like 'it looks like my skin but better' and i cant think of a better way to put it. It covers dark circles and smoothes out bumps, but doesnt cover up your skin, which i absolutely love about this

*A little goes a long way - youll be pleased to know you dont need much of this product to cover your entire face. Ive had this for over 6 months, and i still have around half left.

*It blends into skin well. I used this in March when i was pale as could be and it looked great. I used this after a week in Turkey (meaning my skin was considerably darker) and it still looks great.

*The scent - this smells gorgeous, and as with other Garnier products it smells really fresh and clean, which then leaves my face feeling the same.

Not So Good Points

*It doesnt provide much coverage, so if im having a spotty day, i dont usually wear this which means its use is limited!

*The price - its a lot cheaper than other foundations, but there are plenty of foundations on the market for a similar price which give much more coverage.


Overall this is a lovely product which I definitely recommend and will be repurchasing (probably when its on offer ;) ) 

Have a lovely weekend!

Haul - Pixi and 17

This is just a teeny haul, but its special because its my first ever Pixi haul!

Ive been curious about this brand for a long time, but its not sold anywhere near me, and I'm a try before you buy kinda gal, despite how tempting online shopping can be!

The 2 lip products i picked up at TK Maxx for £3.99 for them both  - bargain!

Having seen how much they actually are, i can't believe my luck!

Lip Blush in Youth £12.50 - here

Vitamin Lip Silk in Hero £10 - here

17 are currently holding an offer where if you spend £6, you receive this free gift, which was basically just an excuse for me to spend money!

Instant Glow Body Bronzer - here

Lasting Fix Nail Polish in Tropical Island - here

17 Perfect Definition Eye Liner in Onyx - here

Theres nothing like a little summer shop to get you in the mood for the months to come, and i can't wait to try and review all these for you. The only problem is, as i look out my window, i wouldn't really say it was summer here...

Collective Haul

This haul is wayyyyyy overdue, but I've basically had some important deadlines for university, had to quit my job, and try and get everything organised, so its been a bit hectic the past few weeks!

These are my new love. They are £4.99 each, and they are the best thing ever! Ive already done a post using Magnetic Blue, but there will be many more to come !

These are stunning, the silvery lilac reminds me of a mermaid, its got so many colours in it, and although i wouldn't say its a typical spring colour, i can't wait to wear this and differ from the usual pastels you see at this time of year.

Denim has so much glitter in it, i can't wait to see if it appears the same on my nails!

Im currently trying to find an eye primer that compares to Lemonaid by Benefit, so when i saw this for £1.49 i couldn't resist! This was from Boyes.

I initially went into Boots to purchase the Maybeline Colour Tattoos every man and his dog are raving about, but that didn't quite go to plan! The 17 stand was right next to Maybeline, and seeing the 17 Wild Metallics Eyes in a realllyyyy similar colour (and a cheaper price) i opted for this. And seen as 17 were on 3 for 2, i couldn't resist picking up 3 things! 

These little nail art stickers were around £1, for 10 of these little sheets, each with different stickers! I got these off Ebay, and I've already tried some, so expect a post very soon! 

Ive been watching numerous videos and posts about Ciate nails and their new collection, but i just cannot afford £18 for some little beads. There are so many tutorials on YouTube, and one i came across said she bought the tiny beads off Ebay for £1.99 a packet, so i followed suit! The bags are really quite big, and have so much more in them than the Ciate nail polish bottle. I can't wait to give these a go!

These were around 99p from Ebay also, and they are nail transfers - I've never tried these before, and think they'd look really good over red or yellow polish. Stay tuned to find out!!

And finally...

My easter present.....

This perfume smells GORGEOUS. Im not actually a fan of Justin Bieber, but this was a gift, and the perfume is so sweet and fresh, i cannot stop wearing it!

For all you Biebster fans... 

Soap And Glory Glow Job review

I could not have been more excited to try this product, as ive heard so many wonderful things about Soap and Glory (i actually cant believe im only just trying it now!) During the winter my skin dries out, and i feel this winter has been particularly harsh, so much so i am willing to try ANYTHING that will leave my skin feeling moisturised and baby-like! I didnt expect much from this product in the sense i wasnt expecting a miracle for my dry skin, i simply thought it would act as a good base for my makeup, and leave my skin a little brighter. Well.... i cannot praise this product ENOUGH! My skin is so much more noticably refreshed and moisturised, and i am pretty sure it must be this product as i have not changed anything else regarding skin routine (apart from swapping my foundation for this) and i am so impressed, this is going to be a staple in my everyday makeup bag from now on. The only downside to this product is that it doesnt provide great coverage blemish-wise, and i find i still have to use a good amount of concealer (whereas with a foundation i would have to use much less), however thats not what this product is about, so still  very satisfied!! This will be perfect for summer as it gives a really bronzed glow, and i must admit i was fascinated by the little beads which burst to release colour. Initially i was cautious as i was wondering how i would look if i didnt get an even spread of beads, but this is product is so easy to work with, and so much like a moisturiser it would be almost impossible to go wrong with. Overall, i could not recommend this product more, all i can say is this has caused Soap and Glory to be my new obsession, and result in a purchase of the Big Spleandor vanity case ... oops sorry bank !

(as you can see the macro on the camera i used aint working the best, but you get the idea!)
