Island Of Paradise Fake Tan Review

Self Tanning Water
Ive tried this tan a couple of times so i give a full review, i must say i was sceptical its it being water and not knowing what this would be like to apply and i must say it was a bit of trial and experiment to begin with. Overall i do love the colour this gives I'm really pale and this isn't too orange it gives a perfect glowy, bronzed look. I applied this with a tanning mit, you just have to be extra careful to make sure to get all areas as you this has no colour and ensure its blended well, it does take some time getting used to but once you have you'll love it!

Self Tanning Drops 
Ok
Ok so you could say that I'm slightly obsessed with this product now I've been using it for two months now so i have give it a good go before writing this review. Firstly i apply this by putting one or two drops in my moisturiser before bed, be careful these can leave a fake tan stain on your hands so I've been applying using gloves to avoid this and it works a treat. Then you just apply this like normal moisturiser and its that simple, i don't use this every night i tend to do every other night and alternate between one or two drops depending on how dark i want it. I love the colour this gives off, its not a orangey tone is more of a glowy look which honestly now i cant live without! 
Highly recommend to anyone!

Mario Badescu Skincare Review!

Its been a while again... this is becoming a regular occurrence, life is getting in the way and i never ever seem to make the time to blog anymore but I'm not forcing it I'm just going with the flow and writing when i feel like it! My skin has been awful at the moment so I've been trying out new skincare, hoping this new routine makes a difference and it has been so i thought id write a review as i know Mario Badescu are talked about quite a lot!














Facial Spray- this is is the one product i just knew i would love and i wasn't wrong, i really do love using this product. I use it in the morning when i wake up and of a night after I've done by skincare routine, this just makes your skin feel so fresh and wakes me up of a morning. I also have been finding it handy to have in my bag, i don't know about you but when I'm in work and I've had my makeup on for a long period of time it makes my skin feel all dry so this is perfect. You can find it here. 

Enzyme Cleansing Gel- this product was one that i wasn't that excited to try as I've got tons of products similar but honestly I've been using this every night and applying with a    facial sponge and theres something about this that i just love. It feels like i really digs deep to clean the skin, afterwards my skin looks and feels so fresh and soft!

Silver Powder- Again another product i have been loving, this literally looks like a paste that you put on your wet skin, this then dries and aims to minimise pores whilst also getting rid of dirt and black heads. I suffer with large pores next to my nose and on chin and I've been using this twice a week and really notice the difference, pores appear smaller and i don't seem to be getting as many black heads. 

I'm not going to lie i haven't yet tried out the Flower and Tonic Mask because i have so many similar products open so i don't want to open this before using them up but ill update this post when i do get round to doing so. 

Drying lotion- this was the whole reason i wanted this set, i suffer really bad with spots i don't have acne but i get a lot of spots on my chin and forehead, these spots tend to just leave red marks on my face for a long period of time which is so frustrating especially when i don't want to wear much makeup for work. So I've been leaving this on my spots overnight and washing off in the morning. I had worried that with me having eczema and therefore having really dry skin this would make my skin even drier therefore i am careful upon application and just apply on the small area were the spots are. Overall i have notice a difference i wake up and i feel like the spots are less visible which is exactly what i want!

Overall i really love this set and do think it has given be better skin although i think sticking to any skin care routine is bound to help! 

Pixi Glow Collection!

Dont Pixi just do the best PR packages, i may be bias but hay ho i literally live for them. Although i have to say how lucky am i to receive a package like this?! Their packaging was on point as usual with this package. 

 Fairy Lights Liquid Eye Glimmers

Not going to lie, i was sceptical about these when they first arrived as i had never tried liquid eye shadow before, but boy did these impress. I used these over the top of my shadow to add a glitter effect, and the pay off is insane (wish i would of swatched them now, would of been a good hay).

Glow-y Gossamer Duos

I am forever on a search for 'the perfect' highlighter its one product I've never found a favourite off. These have become a everyday favourite of mine, although they aren't my favourite for nights out or dressy occasions these add such a gorgeous subtle glow and makes your skin look super natural and flawless. The formula is also fab as it isn't too powdery which i do find with some highlighters which end up coming chalky, this is just the right consistency! 

Honestly Pixi never disappoint me, although I get sent products to review it goes without saying that my opinions are honest and truthful and i genuinely buy Pixi products myself. Ever since i tried glow tonic I've never gone back! But overall i never have a negative thing to say, i would highly recommend them to anyone!

My Make-up Brush Set

Im back with a new blog post after seven weeks, life got crazy from uni work to starting a new job life has taken over but i have finally got round to writing a new post.

MY MAKE-UP BRUSH SET 

So i recently received these gorgeous brushes from the guys over at my make-up brush set so I've been trying them for a while now so i can give you my opinions on them!

Firstly we must comment on the design, these brushes are just so pretty with their mermaid design! This comes as one set the 5 Piece Rainbow Mermaid Set personally their are two brushes i get more use out of, one for contour and another for my eye shadow and i love them.

The brushes themselves are super soft making application feel amazing  although i do feel as though you have to be careful to not leave marks from brush strokes on your face but then again i do find this with a lot of brushes so isn't unusual. I find these are easy to clean too which is most definitely a bonus, who wants to make a tedious job any more tedious.

I would definitely recommend checking them out as they have a huge range of different brushes in different patterns  aswell as actual makeup which I'm yet to try myself so their is bound to be something everyone loves and they are also a bargain at around £15 a set with five brushes included.

What makeup brushes are you loving right now?

Rosie for Autograph

So I recently received this package of rose gold goodness, as you can imagine i was so so happy i mean i honestly do feel so so lucky to receive packages like these! All these products are from Rosie for autographs collection available at Marks & Spencer both online and instore! Also bonus, all products are not tested on animals!

STARSTRUCK LIP & CHEEK COLOUR 

This Starstruck lip and cheek colour is a two in one product to be used either as a lip of check product, this is in shade pink personally i love chubby sticks i find them so easy to use and this was no different. Im not going to lie me and blush aren't a match made in heaven i don't tend to wear it very often as I'm more of a bronzer and contour person. Having said that i have been trying this out and really enjoying it, i don't apply to much just a dab on each check and then blend it out and it adds a little colour to your cheeks and gives you that fresh natural glow. This is available for £15 which isn't bad, in my opinion! 

ROSIE LIPSTICK

So I received two of Rosie's lipsticks, these are in shades super model kiss and dolly baby, firstly again ow amazing is the packaging of these??! Like every other blogger i am instantly drawn to rose gold! I love the formula of these, they are literally so soft on the lips, i used to be a matte lipstick girl but I'm really loving more shiny lips at the minute so these are perfect, especially for the upcoming spring (if it ever arrives) and summer months. The colour pigmentation is great too and they last quite a while after a few hours i do find myself topping up but thats nothing unusual for me. These are £14 which i would say is about average for a lipstick these days.

INSTA GLOW BLUSHER

This Insta Glow Blusher (summer sunrise) has the best packaging is it just me that would love to just never use this product, its just so pretty!! Personally i use this as a highlighter more than a blush and it adds such a pretty seen to my cheeks I really love it even i did have to ruin the pretty pattern to use it! The colour is subtle not too pink which is what i always go for in a highlighter, this is priced at £20 which is more on the expensive side for a highlighter but i honestly do think it is worth it!

ANNIVERSARY MAKEUP PALETTE 

This Anniversary Makeup Palette has 6 creamy eyeshadows, 4 being limited edition ones, a bronzer, a cream blush and a highlighter. I love multi use palettes like this they are perfect for travelling when your trying to pack lightly. Ive been using the bronzer a lot and really enjoy using it, its like a medium shade so would really suit lots of different skin tones. They eyeshadows are also very nice not all of them i would use on a daily basis but the gold and brown shades are perfect for every day and the pigmentation is great! So far I've been loving using this palette and it comes in very handy! 

Also i think this is very reasonably priced at £25! 

EYESHADOW PALETTE 

 This eyeshadow palette is one of my favourites for the collection, the shades are just so wearable and pretty! Also notice the smudge in the  bottom left shade, well typical me accidentally got my nail in there before i even got a chance to take a picture how annoying!! I really like the formula of these, the eyeshadows are creamy and look gorgeous on your lids and last so long!! Again the packaging is gorgeous and the big mirror is also a bonus! This is priced at £18 which for four eyeshadows i think it pretty good value!

INSTA LASH MASCARA 

 This Insta Lash Mascara is amazing, it doesn't clog at all and it really does make your eyelashes look longer, although some reviews online stated this clogged a lot i haven't found it too at all. Theres not much i can say about mascara but i have really been enjoying using it although i put two coats on to build it up if i want my eyelashes to look thicker but for day to day use one coat is enough. This is available in black and in black and brown which i think is great as they normally just have black. This is priced at £15.

Overall i have been loving trying out the range and would really recommend it to anyone and right now if you spend £25 on Rosie's range then you receive a free perfume, enjoy!
