As most of you know by now I'm quite a big fan of Benefit Cosmetics as a brand.
They're packaging & products are generally amazing!
So I decided to finally try their Roller Lash Mascara.
I love the They're Real mascara & have claimed it as my holy grail since trying it. However when my eyes are feeling sensitive I just can't wear it. There's something about either the formula or the wand that just makes my eyes go crazy!
Hence why I wanted to try this one, as it claims to be more of a natural not so intensive lash look.
First of all, as usual Benefit are killing it with the cute packaging. A lot of brands really don't try when it comes to sample sizes, not Benefit though!
Onto the shape of the wand, it looks great. I have tried curved wands in the past (by Maybelline) and really liked them, I think they really can help keep a curl! This one is exactly the same. Even without curling my lashes this mascara gave them an awesome curl. I was even getting compliments on how nice my lashes looked (that says something).
The formula is also really nice! It doesn't disappear halfway through the day or flake away. The formula & wand also (most importantly) don't hurt or bother my eyes in the slightest! Ideal!
Overall I think Benefit have done it again & made a really amazing mascara.
I can definitely see myself buying the full size of this once I run out!
Do you ever receive a product a feel a bit scared of it (sounds silly I know, haha)?
This is one of those products, I think it's the word 'peeling' & the fact that I'd never heard of this brand before.
This is the Naobay Moisturizing Peeling.
So was I right to be scared??
No, it's actually not that scary, however I do want to note that there are absolutely no instructions on how to to use this product on the packaging. Which I find a bit weird. So I actually googled it & it said to damp the face, gently massage in then wash off.
It has some kind of sandy beads (probably microbeads), which sound quite harsh however if you are gentle they aren't harsh at all. I really like products like this as they really feel like they're cleaning your face.
The product itself is actually quite watery which makes it a little messy to work with, but it's manageable. It also has a very strong orange scent, which I actually don't mind.
As for the results of this product, after using it I instantly noticed that my skin was incredibly smooth & really soft! If you have sensitive skin it can leave you looking a little red for a short period after. However blood coming to the surface of the skin isn't a bad thing!
I also noticed that my blackheads & pores looked reduced after using this, which is a quality I look for in most skincare products.
Overall I'm really starting to like this product & plan to add it into my regular skincare routine!
They are a skincare brand know for their sensitive skin products. If you have sensitive skin you probably know all about this brand & are saying 'YAS' right now.
I love this brand, I have sensitive skin, especially around my eyes so I find Simple to be the perfect brand for me. So I wanted to talk to you guys a little about my 'to go' Simple products.
So firstly there's the Light Daily Moisturiser which I use most days as it's a great moisturiser that doesn't leave me feeling greasy halfway through the day. It also sinks into the skin really quickly, which makes it great to apply before your make up. All Simple products are unscented as well in case you hate heavily scented skincare.
The second product is their Soothing Eye Balm. Like I said the skin about my eyes gets very sensitive & dry so this product is perfect. It is the only eye cream I feel truly safe using on my eyes as I know it doesn't sting/ or have any irritants in it. A little goes a long way with this product so a tube lasts for ages too.
The last product I'm going to mention is their micellar water, which I already have a blog post on here. This is again a great sensitive eye product. It's the only make up remover I can use on my eyes (other than facial wipes) that doesn't sting and actually removes the make up properly. This is my favourite skin discovery of the year so far!
If you haven't tried anything from the Simple brand I would definitely recommend you do so.
Especially if you have sensitive skin on any part of your face.
This is a review I've been wanting to do for some time!
Younique are a make up company similar to Avon in the sense of you buy from a representative of the brand.
They're a company that I see all over social media, mostly for their star product which is there 3D Fiber Lash.
One of their representatives reached out to me & asked me to review the product.
So here are my thoughts!
Firstly a bit of info about this product. It's meant to be instead of mascara & meant to work 100 times better! It's a two step product where you apply the transplanting gel first then the fibres.
The fibres are meant to create a very full, false lash effect.
The packaging is very substantial which in some ways is nice & others not so. It's good as it means the packaging isn't likely to break and I quite like the quilted effect. However it's not very travel friendly.
So the product itself I actually really like!
I was worried that the fibres would create a clumpy look on my lashes however this isn't the case. I like to do two coats of this product to achieve a long & full lash look.
As for my sensitive eyes (I suffer from Blepharitis), they're fine with this product! I have only used this on what I call 'good days'. However I've had no problem with this product what so ever!
Which for me is pretty amazing!
You can see how long my lashes look in the photo above!
Another plus for me on this product is that it's SO much easier to use than applying false lashes.
The only annoying thing is the bits of fibre fallout you get under your eyes, but this can be wiped away.
In the beauty world micellar waters are a very hyped product, however it wasn't until recently that they've become quite readily available at the drugstore.
I believe Garnier were the first company to release theirs, which I haven't tried.
The brand that interested me was Simple.
I use quite a few different Simple products and generally love their skincare range.
There has only been one product by the brand that didn't agree with my skin, which was the eye make up remover.
Which leads me nicely onto my next point. This product is the only make up removing product I have ever been able to use on my eyes! This is a revelation to me! So if you have really sensitive eyes I would advise giving this a go! (Face wipes obviously work but I hate using them).
This product really has changed my skincare routine! I love it!
It's my go to product for removing make up & for beginning my nighttime routine. To me it's just perfect!
As it's by Simple it has no scent which I also really like, I think make up removers especially shouldn't have a scent.
Overall the only problem I have with this product is that the bottle isn't that big (200ml), I've finished a bottle in only a month...
Oops...
But that shows how much I've used it & love it!
Hi guys! The product I'll be reviewing today on my blog is this:
It's Me Me Me's Eye Line pencil in Clay.
I actually got this product in a Glossybox a while ago, I don't think Me Me Me is a very readily available brand in the UK. Not to my knowledge anyway.
Firstly I think the packaging looks really nice for a pencil eyeliner, the matte finish makes it feel & look at my more high end to me.
The product itself is one of those pencils that you have to sharpen which I find a bit of a pain, because let's face it whenever you need a sharpener you can never find one! Am I right?
But never the less I do like the product so I can live with that.
The reason I like the product is that it's a nice soft pencil, the formula actually has some different oils in it which I think helps. It glides on the eyes nicely, instead of tugging (which I hate, as I have very sensitive eyes). This eyeliner also doesn't sting my eyes when I use in on my waterline, which I've experienced in the past with other eyeliners. So to me this is quite a little winner really!
Above is a little swatch of the eyeliner so you can see the colour.
It can also be smudged out very easily due to its soft texture.
