Witch - Overnight serum

skincare review witch overnight spot clearing serum
When I opened my goody bag from the meet up and saw this first I was so excited. I had been looking for something new to put on my skin at night so it was kinda like fate.
When I first tried this I had a massive chin spot, you know those hanging under the skin ones? maybe it's grim but I hate them so much I claw at my skin till it's gone and a horrible big scab is left in place. I kinda felt like I was well and truly putting this to the test as it's supposed to visibly reduce spots - I am the only one who never believes that?
Anyway so I put this on, it smells like witch hazel if you've ever tried their products before, I rather enjoy it.... anyway... I put like a 5p amount in my fingers and rubbed on my face and I could feel it working straight away. It wasn't a stinging sensation but I could feel it doing it's magic in particular on my chin spot. I felt like I had put too much on and was worried about it sitting on my face but within moments my skin had drunk it in and there was no oily feeling of product on my face. Woke up the next day and I will admit, my spot was visibly smaller. I couldn't believe it! I use this every night now and I really do recommend it! It's absolutely going to become a staple of mine.
Have you tried this? what are you favourite overnight serum?

Beauty: Nars tinted moisturiser review

As I've been using this for a couple of weeks now I decided it's finally time to whip out a review.
First of all, maybe this is a common theme with Nars but it was smaller then I expected for £28 I did expect it to be a lot bigger. However, you don't really need a lot of this, I have actually squeezed too much out too many times thinking I need more when I don't. I'm also surprised about how good the coverage is. I wanted a tinted moisturiser for summer so my skin wasn't getting as clogged and also for festivals because there is nothing worse then feeling all hot and sweaty and then feeling your face melting off. This is so wonderfully light, I couldn't believe it! I also have very red cheeks and it covered them really well, sometimes when my cheeks are redder then usual I dab a little extra on or go over with a concealer. You don't feel this sat on your skin and after testing it out at Parklife this is definitely perfect for festivals! ( extra bonus it has SPF 30+) I picked the colour Finland as it was the palest and it seems to match my skins really well.

All in all I'm really happy with this though I may only purchase it when I can get some discount on ASOS.

Do you recommend any other tinted moisturisers to try? What do you think of the Nars one?

Beauty - Review: Garnier Micellar Cleansing water.

Hey guys!

I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, I've had a busy few days but today I'm blogging about a new cleansing staple. The Garnier - Micellar Cleansing water, the new answer to the UKs prayers. Bioderma is not easy to get hold of  unless you are fortunate to casually jet to Paris every now and again. Which I am definitely not.

So it's so frustrating when I want to get it and can't get hold of it without having to order it online, I was watching Alix from Icovetthee's night time cleanse routine and she featured this Garnier product. In a previous post I mentioned I wanted to up my skin routine because whatever I'm doing at the moment I feel my skin is just not appreciating, it just looks tired and dull. So I thought... right! I'm going to add this to the start of a new routine!

 Apart from being far easier to get hold of, this product is also half the price and boasts it can last up to 200 uses. I can't vouch for that but I can say I really love it. It doesn't lie when it says it doesn't smell of anything so its perfect for sensitive skin. It feels really refreshing and makes getting mascara off ridiculously easy! ( good bye panda eyes!)  - Extra bonus ( as I type this product is £3.33 in boots at the moment!!! )

Have you guys tried this product? What do you think?? What other products do you use for cleansing?

Beauty -Spring 2014 Beauty Wishlist

Hey guys!
So this post is pretty lame but I'm still seriously ill and I just want to rest. I did kind of want to stop doing wishlists but I thought one last one wouldn't hurt! :)



1. Ambient lighting blush - Mood Exposure : I don't know what it is about these blushes but the inner artist in me is screaming to buy them all! They are just stunning! Looking at all of this I think Mood Exposure will be my first purchase of the lot! It seems to have quite a mauve tone similar to the Topshop blush - Dream phone that I just bought.

2. Bumble and bumble - City Swept : I've been eyeing this because it looks like a quick fix texturising spray and I think it would be perfect for work when I've taken my helmet off ( I drive a motorbike) to give my hair a little more oompf and a little less helmet hair.

3. Zoeva - Rose gold brush collection : Not gonna lie, I have been eyeing this up for months now, imagine my devastation when I finally get the money and it's out of stock!!! ( this seems to be a reoccuring theme here, definitely need to win the lottery!! ) I am obsessed with rose gold and the thought of it being on my brushes is too exciting! You get 8 essential brushes and a gorgeous elegant bag to put them all in! Perfect for travelling!

4.NARS -  Narcissist Eye palette : I did actually reserve one of these. I think I missed the call and it is sold out AGAIN. I umm'd and ahh'd about this because it had mixed reviews but the more I can't have it the more I HAVE to have it.Those two purple toned shades NEED to be in my life.

5. Charlotte Tilbury - Vintage Vamp Palette : You can never have enough eye palettes. This one is gorgeous! 4 colours that work so well together and give a new take on the 'smokey eye'

6. Estee Lauder - Pure colour envy lipstick in Rebellious Rose: I have a list of these lipsticks that I want but this is the chart topper. Nice mauve tone I think would be perfect for day to day! ( do you notice a natural mauve theme in my products?!)

7. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores - I have a pore complex. I just hate them and I will try anything to get rid of them!! I've heard a lot of amazing reviews about origins and I think this would be an ideal first purchase! I really want to up my beauty routines this year.

8.Living proof - primer : As I mentioned above. helmet hair is not a cool look, neither is windblown-to-fuck hair; which always seems to happen to me! I've seen really good reviews about how this helps hair to stay put for days!

9. Korres - Wild rose + Vitamin C sleeping mask: As I mentioned above I really want to up my beauty game in the sense of getting better at cleansing and taking care of my skin. I use a nivea night cream but I am unsure how I feel about it so I think this is going to be the next contender for my night cream staple.

Let me know your reviews of these products or if your lusting after them too!
Sorry this post wasn't more exciting * cough* I'm sick.

Ciao x

P.S let's not forget that pretty much ALL of MAC is on my wishlist, I just couldn't feature them all!
