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!

EcoTools Bamboo 6 Piece Eye Brush Set

I have heard so many great reviews on this set of brushes and the company itself. So I decided to get my hands on one of their brush sets and I understand why most people are in love with these brushes.

A quick background on EcoTools, just incase you're not familiar with this company. It's an affordable collection of easy-to-use make-up tools produced with Mother Nature in mind. 
   
This brush set has to be one of my favorites to carry around with me during the day to touch up. They are super cute and the bristles are so,so soft, that comes with a convenient travel case and a mirror. 


The Bamboo 6 Piece Eye Brush Set is priced at £14.99 that can be purchased in Boots (UK) and includes:

• Blend Brush

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!
