2True Nail Varnish | Review

Image
2True recently launched their new website featuring their affordable, high quality products.  Last month I reviewed two of their mascaras which I really liked, you can find the post here and today I have three nail varnishes which I have swatches of and will complete a full review!  The first two nail varnishes that I have are from their Fast Dry Polish Range. Altogether they have 19 shades in the range and are priced at just £1.99 each!   In the picture above is the 'Fast Dry Nail Polish, Shade 23*'  £1.99, which is a light blue shade, perfect for spring/summer time. This nail polish actually gives a nice coverage and finish even after just one coat but two is reccommended for a full gloss finish.  In the picture above is the 'Fast Dry Nail Polish, Shade 32*'  £1.99, which is a light beige pink colour and once again leaves nails with a high shine and full coverage.  The last nail Varnish I have is from their Salon Shine range, containin...

Eyelure Pro-Lash Dye Kit | Review

Image
Without mascara my lashes can look sparse and short, to help with this I was planning on going to a salon And getting my lashes tinted, meaning they would permantly look darker and fuller without the need for mascara.    Before getting to a salon I happened to notice a Eyelure Pro-Lash Dye kit  £9.49 in my local boots meaning I could dye my own lashes from the comfort of my own home.    The kit contains a no mixing formula making the application simple. To dye the lashes you simply have to use the mascara wand to apply the colour to lashes, leave for the required amount of time, remove, then apply the developer in the same manner.  If you are looking for a more affordable alternative when it comes to having your lashed tinted, this kit is for you. It is quick, affordable and simple to use!  Can be purchased instore and online at Boots.com The whole range of Eyelure products can be found at eyelure.com Don't forget to follow me on... Twit...

I Love... Cleansing Hand Gel Collection | Review

Image
Hand Cleansing Gels are one of my many, hand bag essentials! What's even better is when the much loved brand 'I Love...' Bring out their own hand gel range in four surprisingly sweet scents!  There are four scents in the range, 'Raspberry & Blackberry*', 'Mango & Papaya*', 'Strawberries & Cream*' and 'Coconut & Cream*' (Which is definately my favourite!)  With Jojoba these hand gels are very moisturising, have a fast acting formula and hygienically cleanse hands  At an affordable  £1.25 each  these lovely hand gels would be great as part of a gift or even a stocking filler. They make hand gels even more exciting unlike the usual standard hand gels available.  If are interested in coconut scented things you can check out my review of some other products in the range  here . These hand gels can be bought from Superdrug and th full range of I Love... Products can be found at  www.ilovecosmetics.com .  Have you tried any products ...

2 True BB Cream | Review

Image
Today I am reviewing a BB cream from 2True. 2True is an affordable UK brand, selling high quality products at everyday prices! The 8 in 1 BB beautiful cream*  £3.50  is a BB cream (Blemish Balm) is a lightweight foundation that 'gives a fresh faced natural glow'. I like the concept of the product, it has 8 functions in one tube, is lightweight, so is great for use on those good skin days and is an affordable everyday product!  I've only found that even though this product is in the shade light/medium, it has a slight orange tone to it. Me having fair skin, means the product doesn't match especially during winter when I'm generally even paler but I do think this product would be great for someone with a slight tan/less pale skin and is looking for a lightweight everyday BB cream!  Have you used/considered using a BB cream?  *Pr Sample

2True Lip Gloss | Review

Image
2True is an affordable UK brand that sell high quality products at everyday, affordable prices! I have four of their lip glosses which I'm going to review today but if you would like to read my review of their great mascaras visit  here  and  here  for a review on two of their nail varnishes!  (Lip Gloss' are in the same order below) Crystal Lip Gloss  £2.29 *: This is a high shine lip gloss with 2 other shades available in the range which could be worn everyday as leaves lips shiny but not shimmery. The only thing I don't like about this lipgloss is the applicator but it's not a big deal!  Plumptous Lip Gloss  £1.99 *: This lip gloss is one of my past time favourites that I used to buy when I was younger! It's really moisturising, shiny and leaves lips plump. Perfect for parties! Pro 8hr Power Lip Gloss  £4.99 *: This lip Gloss is very pigmented, almost a shiny/glossy version of a lip stick that lasts well, in fact, I struggled to remove it!...

Glo & Ray Cosmetics | Reviews

Image
Glo & Ray is a British cosmetic brand, designed to compliment every woman's unique look and one that I hadn't heard of until recently.  Today I have two of their products to review, a blush and a lipstick.  First up is the blush which is the 'Nuage Solo Blush' in the shade Luna Maroon-501*  £11 . The first thing that i love about this blush is the packaging which is a sleek, handbag Worthy compact that even comes with a built in mirror and a brush,  handy for when out and about!  The colour has a peachy tone with a gold shimmer which gives a 'highlight' effect to cheeks. If 'peach' isn't the colour for you, Glo & Ray have 6 other shades in the range to suit everyone's needs. Next up is the 'LA AMO Creamy Matte Lip Colour' in the shade 'Muse'*  £12 . This lipstick has a creamy texture and is very moisturising but leaves lips with a matte but slightly glossy finish.  This shade of the lipstick is a pinky/peachy colour with 1...

2true Mascara | Review

Image
Recently 2True launched their new website to bring affordable Cosmetics to the UK. 2True have products with prices starting from £1.99 meaning they fit anyone's budget. Today I have two of their mascaras, the 2True Pro Flasheyes mascara* £2.99  and the 2True WOW Mascara*  £2.99 .  Firstly, usually when it comes to more 'affordable' brands the range of each product tends to be very small, however 2True have over 10 different Mascaras in their range to suit every need which is great! If you have read any of my previous posts where I talk about mascara, you will know that I don't usually get on with usual mascara and tend to opt for waterproof! Being sceptical of that when I first tried these Mascaras I found that they held a curl whilst lengthening and thinking lashes which is just what I look for in a mascara!  Also neither mascara flake or smudge meaning my lashes look the same at the end of the day as they did at the start!  The whole range of 2True products ca...

Sweetease Waxing Kits | Review

Image
If there's one type of hair removal that's my least favourite it would have to be waxing. After using waxing strips in the past, I've been left with sticky residue and leftover hairs but that was until I tried 'Sweetease'!  ' Sweetease is a super easy-to-use hair remover, that leaves you skin silky smooth for weeks longer than shaving!'                                  ' Sweetease' have three waxing kits... leg waxing kit* (£3.99), Bikini waxing kit* (£3.99) and Face waxing kit* (£3.99).  The waxing kits are perfect for beginners as the kit includes the waxing strips which are available in 3 different sizes to suit your needs, an instruction leaflet to explain how to use the waxing strips and 2 after wax wipes to remove residue if there is any. After being put off by another brand of waxing strips these have made me use them again! The strips are easy to use, have a sweet vanilla scent and lea...
