L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Express Pro Review :-)

Bonjour Belle!! 

Tonight, I will be reviewing the L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Express Pro Spray for Fair Skin.

Yep. That is ALOT to take in but that's the name of the product.

So let's see a piccy of it shall we?

This below, is what it looks like: 

So first of all, what is this product all about?

WELL.

What does this fine looking gem of a product claim to do? On the Boots website, this is the description.

L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Express Pro Spray for Fair Skin- for a sublime natural looking tan without the self-tan smell.

The ultra-wide micro-diffusion spray allows the product to dry instantly, for a radiant result with no need to rub in.

I can safely and honestly say, that this is the truth. It really does everything that it says it will!

1. It is natural looking and streak free.
2. It does have a kind of cheap perfume odour, but it goes away after applied.
3. The product doesnt dry instantly, but I must say, it does dry in a surprisingly short amount of time.
4. You definitely do not need to rub it in

Although it does everything it says on the description, I wouldn't say it was the most amazing fake tan to ever exist. Or near it.

I feel that you have to be very careful when using this product, as it doesn't show up when you have sprayed it so you cannot see where you have and haven't sprayed, which can be a nightmare when it develops in a couple of hours and you see that you have missed a spot, and theres this big white blob and the rest is all tanned.

It does take about 8 hours in total to develop fully. So if you want an instant fake tan look, then this is definitely not for you!

Although it comes in a spray which can be handy, especially when you are applying your back and have no one to do it for you, theres only enough for about 3 applications for a full body, and as this is a build up tan that is not very much.

Conclusion

For the price of about a tenner, depending on where you get it from (I find that morrisons is doing it quite cheaply just now) I would definitely not buy this again, as there is not enough to last even 3 applications, unless of course you use it sparingly, and although it gives me a nice natural looking glowing tan, it is not exceptionally amazing, but if you are looking for a hassle free, smell free, easy for hard-to-reach places fake tan that develops overnight and dries quickly, then this is for you :-)

I hope you enjoyed reading my review, and I'll speak to you next time!! :-)

REVIEW - No7 Extravagant Lashes in Black No1

Hey Peeepzzzz!

The mascara I will be reviewing today is the No7 Extravagant Lashes in black, No1

To start off with! WHAT is this mascara all about? The name? So SO wrong for the product! The only lashes these give you is spider, clumped together, pointy ones!

First of all...

The solution thing, dries way too slowly, so you're sitting waiting for about 10 minutes to put on the next coat and if you don't have time it sucks, especially if you accidentally touch your eye and the product comes off!

Then there's the brush. I shouldn't even allow myself to get started on this, so here is a picture below and you can just see for yourself how thick it is and how short and spread out the bristles are. Which by the way, is never a good combination! (just in my opinion, of course)

P.s I know the mascara solution stuff looks brown, but I assure you, it is definitely black!

When applying this mascara, I found it very hard to reach the roots of my lashes without poking my eye out as the brush design was so thick. I also found it very difficult to get into the corners of my eyes and coat the mascara on the bottom lashes without blobbing a load of product underneath the eye.

After I had applied the first coat, my lashes had all stuck together, so it literally only looked like I had about 5 hairs on them total, which does not look flattering on me. They also didn't lengthen very well, infact, hardly any length at all!

Without further ado, the pictures below are the results of my lashes after applying the mascara.

My eye without any mascara on.

These are my eyelashes after the first coat, and as you can see, they definitely don't look flattering, as they are too spaced out and just look weird and unnatural (not that mascara is natural but I think you catch my drift)

My eyelashes after the second coating didn't really improve. There is definitely not much of a difference from the first coat.

And lastly, the third coating of mascara! Looks better, but still... just no.

So the conclusion? The summary?

Basically, the conclusion is that NO ONE should be buying this mascara! At around about £10 a tube, this is definitely not worth it. It looks spidery, clumpy, thick (in all the wrong reasons) and just overall horrible! 

So unless you're thinking of wearing this mascara for halloween, just don't buy it guys, it will be a shame to see you waste your money on such a poor product!

The only good thing, or more, useful, is if you are wearing fake eyelashes and need to coat your lashes to the fake ones, this mascara would be ideal as it is thick, so it would help your natural lashes blend in with the fake ones, and also it would stick a little better to them.

I hope this review helped you, and have a lovely night :-)

REVIEW - Dream Lash No7 in Jet Black

Bonjour à tous!

This morning I will be reviewing the "Dream Lash" mascara by No7 in the colour "Jet Black"

When I was applying this mascara, it felt quite rough on my eyes.
This is definitely not ideal for people who have eyes that are quite sensitive as the mascara brush is very irritatant whilst coating the mascara onto your lashes.

The No7 Dream Lash mascara has it's ups and downs. Pros and cons if you may.

What I found whilst putting on this product is that it seperated my lashes nicely, added a little volume to the roots and a teency bit of length!

I would definitely recommend it for people who are going for the "natural look" for their lashes, other than that, this mascara is nothing special.

What is quite an annoying thing about it is that it gets on your eyelids easily, so you have to clean it up, although if you place a card behind your eyelashes and coat it that way, the mascara on your eyelid thing won't be much of a problem, obviously. As well as that, the solution or whatever you call the gunky stuff that goes on the brush does not dry too quickly, which can be a definite hassle when your in a hurry.

Overall

For £15.50, I personally would not buy this mascara again, as it does not do anything exceptional and you can buy an exact dupe of the mascara for probably less than half price.

The pictures below are my eyes after I have applied my mascara.

These are my eyelashes without any mascara on.

First coat of mascara.

Second coat of mascara (and you can see the mascara on my eyelid here)

Third coating of mascara.

So that's it for today folks! 

Overall, like I said, I would not recommend this mascara unless you are looking for a natural finish and have time in the morning to wait for the mascara to dry (or to clean up your eyelids)

For the price it definitely is not worth it. 

I hope this review helped, and remember, expensive does not always mean that it's better, even Collection 2000 (which is by the way, relatively cheap) can come up with an exact dupe to this!

But anyways, before I blabber on any more, thats me off for now! 

Ciao! & have a nice day everyone :-)

REVIEW: Lush UltraBland Cleanser

Salut à nouveau belle! I have a review for youu allll today! :-)

I willl be reviewing thee Lush UltraBland Cleanser!

So basically. Where even to start? I cannot even begin to describe how amazingly amazing this product is, it literally just is.. well... amazing?

First of all, what would I rate this product?

The answer is...

A BIG FAT

9/10

Now you're probably thinking, wuttttt?! 9/10?!!!? Snce when do people ever rate cleansers so high?!

But... now I am just going to tell you EXACTLY why!

I have really bad problem skin and I have searched and searched for cleansers that actually have an effect by reducing the redness, bumps, and spot size but also locking in moisture to my skin. Until I found ultrabland. It does everything! It's a two in one cleanser and moisturiser, and a good one at that. Not only does it cleanse and put moisture back into your face, it removes literally every bit of makeup.

Now usually, with me, I have to use a few cleansers to manage to clean off all my makeup at night as the products are either too harsh or too gentle and therefore do not remove all impurities from my face.

With ultrabland it is a completely different story. It is gentle enough to take off all of your eye makeup without irritating you eyes, yet tough enough to tackle all of the nasties that most cleansers (in a one job) leave on your skin by the end of your routine.

The only bad things I would say about this product (which is why I didn't rate it a 10) is that you have to remove the product with a few wet cotton pads to get it all off along with your makeup and the impurities, and if you get alot on your hands they can become quite greased so you will have to wash your hands with soap to get it off.

Other than that is is definitely HANDS DOWN the best cleanser I have ever used and come across. I have tried other products but literally nothing is as similar as this gem.

At only £6.75 for 45 grams or £10.75 at 100 grams it is an absolute steel for the end result that you get with this considering higher end products that are about £30 don't do half the job as this :-)

This picture is to show how creamy and soft the texture of it is.

Pros

• Takes off makeup, dirt and oil VERY easily
• Soft and creamy - perfect for dry or combinational skin
• Excessively reduces the amount of redness on your skin by about 10x the amount.
• It is AMAZING for people with acne or acne scarring, as it reduces the spot size and takes away all of the redness around it, dramatically.
• Smells great!
• Made from 100% natural ingredients (as it is from lush)
• Definitely not tested on animals

Cons

• Can be quite greasy on your hands
• Have to go through a few cotton pads to get all of the product off
• Works best before using another cleanser, shouldn't be used alone

Keep in mind, this product might not work for you as everyone has different skin types and such, but if you have dry, sensitive or combinational skin and need a foolproof way of making sure all of your makeup and/or suffer from acne or have acne scarring or any other redness then please do try this because it really is just amazing! 

If you've read all this I hope you enjoyed my review and I hope this helped you find the ultimate cleanser that you may have been looking for.

Kim Kardashian Inspired Smokey Eyes

Bonjour Belle!

Today I thought I'd do a Kim Kardashian inspired smokey eye. It was inspired by this picture of her, it's not perfect and either is my camera (used my phone) so it won't be too good but the pictures will show you step by step what I did!

I tried to achieve this look using many different AFFORDABLE products that you can get mainly in superdrug or boots etc. The only expensive product I used in this tutorial was the Illamasqua liquid metal in Surge and that was for the inner corners of the eyes to create that amazing sheen like colour that is in the photo above. 

So without further ado, lets get started!! :-)

STEP ONE

I first of all used the lightest colour of the Bourjois smokey eyes mordore chic palette all over my lid and up to the brow bone for a base colour like so, just using my fingers, and you can get that for around £8 at boots or superdrug.

STEP TWO

I then used my finger again to then apply the middle shade in the palette all over my lid (sorry that the picture isn't rotated, it kind of refused to)

STEP THREE

After that, I tightlined my eye with the Collection 2000 Kohl Eyeliner in number 1 (£1.99) and drew a thin line across my lashline

Don't worry the line doesn't have to be neat or perfect because in the next step we will be smudging it anyway.

STEP FOUR

Using a clean blending brush, I smudged the eyeliner along my lashline and then into a V shape at the end of my eye and into the crease of the eye, this is the darken the brown used in the next step to create a more eyecatching dramatic effect.

STEP FIVE

I then picked up the darkest shadow from the Bourjois smokey eye palette on the same blending brush and went over the smudged black kohl and more into the crease and brow bone.

STEP SIX

Using the same Kohl pencil, I took it half way under the eye and in the waterline to darken my lashes.

STEP SEVEN

Using a dome brush, I picked up more of the darkest shadow from the Bourjois smokey eye palette and smudged the kohl liner and swept it all the way under the eye to the inner corner.

STEP EIGHT

To fill in and darken my brows a little I used the MUA (make-up academy) eyebrow pencil. 

Bargain at only £1 as their products are so cheap yet greatly pigmented, although the only flaw I have with them is that they break very easily so you have to be quite gentle while using them, but other than that they really are fantastic, especially for the price!

STEP NINE

Using Collection 2000 Faststroke eyeliner (£3), I lined a thin (& wobbly) line along my lashline and this is to add more of a darkened effect to the eye and also because later on we will be applying false lashes.

STEP TEN

After that was done, I used Illamasqua liquid metal in surge (£17.50) with an angled brush and put it into the corner of my eye to add a beautiful metallic effect.

For an alternative cheaper version, there is Colour Tattoo 24hr by Maybelline in Eternal Gold (£5.99) which is just as good and pigmented as Illamasqua's brand.

STEP ELEVEN

To highlight my brow, I just used Barry M Kohl Eye Pencil in white (£2.99)

STEP TWELVE

Now onto the lashes, I just bought a pair from asdas for about £2.99 any cheap pair will do just as long as you have lash glue! Put the lash glue onto the bottom of the false eyelashes, and carefully as you can (because you don't want to smudge the eyeshadow/eyeliner) stick them onto your eye as close to the lash line as possible and hold them there with your fingers (or tweezers if you prefer) for around about 30 seconds so that the glue has dried.

STEP THIRTEEN

To finish off (yayyy woo finally done) add a coat of mascara to both your top and bottom lashes. I used Bourjois Black Volume Glamour Ultra Curl Mascara which is £5.99 from Superdrug.

Et le résultat Final

(finished result)

*drum rolllllll*

I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial and learned something from it! And if you didn't well then just remind me never to try and become a teacher, deal? Ok if you actually read all this then thankyouuu very muchh and yeahh, well au reviorrr people! xxxx
