Body Shop Lip Butters

I have always loved Body Shop for their Body Butters and have never tried their Lip Butters before. So this was a good excuse for me to pop into Body Shop in one of their Outlet stores near where I live. 

They had so many of their products on offer and in packages especially to be used as gifts for Mother's Day, therefore I found some amazing offers that I couldn't resist getting my hands on!

As I've mentioned I have never used their Lip Butter products and in store they had a mixture set of their Lip Butters in a pack of 4! The original price for this pack was £10 but due to the lovely sale they had I only paid £6! These individually cost £4 each, so I have saved a lot of money that has kept my bank happy!

I have tried so many lip balms and I can say that these have very quickly become my favourite! Not only they smell amazing, they make my lips super soft all day and I hardly touch up on my lips. They don't transfer any colour on your lips apart from making them look a bit glossy, so you can go ahead and apply your lipstick on top to make it last all day as well as keeping your lips extremely soft!

I have a hard time picking my favourite out of these beauties, because they all smell and feel so lush, so I change them up everyday when I'm heading out, picking up a different one each day! 

They all have a very sweet smell to them so it's very tempting to eat them, especially the Chocolate one!

E.L.F Brightening Eyeliner

Recently I have enjoyed using brighter eyeliner colours instead of my usual black and brown. I discovered these eyeliners from the good old E.L.F cosmetics at a very cheap price of £1.50 each. These beautiful things come in different colours but the ones that caught my eye were in Teal, Exotic Green and Ash. The eyeliners are very soft and they each come with a sharpener. 

So why not give these a go to give your usual look a twist, if you don't like applying a different colour apart from black and brown on your top liner, why not apply them only on your bottom lash line to make your eyes stand out.

TOPSHOP Limited Edition Dresses

TOPSHOP have produced a line of limited edition dresses that are available online and in stores from 1st March. The pieces include maxi dresses to vintage-inspired tea dresses and monochrome shifts.

I had a look at the collection and they are beautiful patterns and fabrics used for each dress, although the prices may be a little high, I think it is a great investment for that one perfect dress to complete your Spring/Summer wardrobe!

Long Lasting Lip Marker

Markers for the Lips?...I initially did not know what to make of these, but now that I have purchased two from MaxFactor and one from Gosh, I have fallen for these beauties! They are so easy to apply and they last a long time on the lips, the colours come out really well on the lips too. I Love both of the collections from these two companies but only certain colours stood out for me, as the others did not seem to come out well when I swatched them on the back of my hand (See next picture for more details). 

At first it seemed strange to apply them as I am so used to Lipsticks/Lip-glosses, so I had to remind myself that these are not my ordinary pens that I am applying to my lips!  

These are perfect for a night out in your hand bags, as they don't take that much space and don't need to worry about the tips getting ruined or melting in your hand bags!

Celebrating his 20th anniversary, Christian Louboutin is coming up with a new capsual collection inspired by his work over the past 20 years. This includes 20 styles of shoes and six bags, that will be on sale in UK on February 27th in Selfridges.

Although I cannot purchase any of these lovely items, but a girl can dream!

E.L.F Eyelid Primer

 No time for eyeshadows?...well why not try these eyelid primers by elf cosmetics. They are fantastic primers to use under eyeshadows but as a student I don't have the time to apply eyeshadows in the morning. Therefore I personally like to just apply these on there own as they have a shimmering effect, giving me a lovely fresh look. 

 These primers are a must as they last a long time stopping eyeshadows from creasing and they don't feel heavy on the eyelids. Also to top it off they are only £1.50!

Lip Therapy

Dry Lips in winter are my worst enemy and I have tried many products to help the situation and they haven't helped at all. However I think I have found the perfect solution to this irritating problem, Lush Sugar Lip Scrub (£4.95) is the answer! I use the Bubblegum scrub and it smells just like the name and very tempting to eat as its mostly made of castor sugar. It is extremely exfoliating, just need to rub a little into lips to scrub them smooth, then apply your favourite lip balm (below are some of my favourite lip balms).

Face Masks

 

After a long tiring day, I love nothing more than coming home and putting one of these face masks on. I personally love the face masks that are fabric type as they are a lot easier and quicker to put on. Although I have found this chocolate face mask that I'm in love with, it smells just like real chocolate and its very tempting to eat it instead of putting it on my face. These face masks are reasonably priced (£1.01) at Superdrug and they have different types to choose from, I will definitely be returning to Superdrug to stock up on these.

New Beginning

Hello everyone!

This is my first ever blog post! J

My name is Anahita and I love experimenting with beauty products and clothes. I actually have always wanted to write a blog as I find it very ‘therapeutic’ so bare with me as I have no idea how to change things on here. Therefore this is going to be really basic for a while till I get the hang of it all! (Any help would be much appreciated).

I hope you enjoy reading a little about my experiences and going on’s in my life.

Love always
