I have had this quad for about a year now and I used to adore it. I stopped using it so much over winter (mainly because I went through a phase of not using anything else, so had to ween myself off it) but I recently found it lurking in my drawer and got VERY excited. These eye shadows are beautiful!! They are soooo creamy and pigmented, they blend beautifully and look stunning on!! I LOVE THEM!!!! I really want to get another Clinique quad!! This retails at £25.00, in comparison to 4 M.A.C eye shadows which would set you back over £40.00.
PRIORI 'Perfection Facial Gel'.
I got recommended this product by Louise who owns the 'U.and your skin' skin lounge in Norwich. After having a treatment in her skin lounge (which by the way was so relaxing I nearly fell asleep), she recommended this product for me for a variety of reasons. The main reason was to help even my skin out after my acne left lots of scars and redness and to minimise any acne that may occur. I have used this twice a day for about 2 weeks now and I love it. I am really beginning to notice a difference, especially with my redness around the tops of my cheeks, my nose and my cupids bow. I am using this alongside PRIORI's 'Gentle Facial cleanser' , which is brilliant for removing makeup and leaves my skin feeling super clean! I would really recommend checking out their products, and if you live in Norwich you should book an appointment with Louise for a skin consultation, she is simple amazing!!! You can book in for a consultation with her and she will get to the bottom of any skin issues or concerns you have, through asking you lots of questions and from that will plan the best steps forward for you through facials etc. Anyway I could go on about her for ages. If you don't live in Norwich sorry for that rant haha, you should definitely check out the PRIORI range, they are wonderful!!!! This product retails at around £29.00 and is totally worth it!!
Laura Mericer 'Secret Camoflauge' concealer.
This is my new favourite concealer. I love the fact that it comes with 2 shades and you can mix your own colours up, which at this time of year is perfect!!! This covers blemishes really well and stays in place. I have had no problem with this slipping and sliding throughout the day. The other bonus is that it is definitely not a cakey concealer and goes on really lightly whilst still covering my acne and scarring!! I went on line to see how much this was, as I cant remember but I cannot find it anywhere....have they discontinued it?!!!!!!!!!!!
Bourjois 'Magic Nail Polish' remover.
My new favourite way to remove nail polish. This gorgeous little tub is fuss free, quick, easy and clean!! I am awful at using cotton pads to take off nail polish and usually end up with it all over my hands. This is so easy, put your finger into the sponge move it around and hey presto, your nail polish has gone!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!! I sometimes use a cotton bud just to go around the edge, but that's just me being slightly OCD. There really isn't much else to say about this as it speaks for itself! This retails at £4.99.
Essie Nail polishes in 'Cute as a Button' and 'Ballett Slippers'.
Both of these colours are highly talked about colours from the Essie range but both are new to me! I picked these colours up this month and have literally worn them non stop! They are both super pretty and I find they last really well on the nail. The only downside is that they require about 2 or 3 coats to get a full coverage. Ballet slippers is a very white based colour with a tiny hint of pink whereas 'Cute as a button' is a coral shade perfect for Summer. These are from the Essie range at Boots and cost £7.99.
EOS Lip balm in Strawberry sorbet.
I ordered this from the http://www.naturisimo.com sale. I have been desperate to try these since seeing them all over You Tube. I can honestly say I adore it! It tastes so fruity and refreshing but isn't overpowering (something which I hate in a lip balm). It really moisturises my horribly dry lips and provides a really subtle sheen to the lips, making them look really healthy! I love it so much I have just ordered another one in Mint. In the UK these retail at £5.75 but to my knowledge are only available on line.
No7 Nourishing Lip Shine.
The packaging to this looks so similar to the Clarins instant lip perfector and has already been compared to it by so many people. However I cannot do a comparison as I couldn't justify buying the Clarins version. This No7 one though is really pretty. It has a subtle pinky/ coral colour to it and makes my lips look naturally shiny. I am not too sure how long it lasts on the lips as most lip products last about 2mins on my lips as I am constantly drinking!! The packaging is really cute, the lid especially is quite quirky and stands out with it gold pattern all over it. This costs £10.50 at Boots, but they are currently doing their £5 No7 vouchers, so if you get one of those its only £5.50, which is a bargain!!
So there you have it, my May favourites!! What are your most loved products at the minute?!
I want to try the Laura Mericer 'Secret Camoflauge' concealer. Right now I am using Amazing Concealer by Amazing Cosmetics. It works okay, I think the lady at Sephoria tricked me a little. Also we just got No7 products at Target and I have only tried the eye makeup remover. I really don't like it and was wondering if you have tried it and what your thoughts were.

The Laura mercier one is brilliant, I love it. As for no7 I got on alright with their eye makeup remover initially but the more I used it, the more it stung my eyes. Needless to say I don't use it anymore. What do u make of the tarte amazonian clay blushes? I really want to get one but can only get the on eBay so am unsure whether they are worth it or not
ReplyDeleteI have never used tarte clay blushes. I have used the tarte LipSurgence lip tint and I love them. They have an amazing colors and a nice cool mint taste. Next time I go to the store, I will have to check out their clay blushes cause I am in the market for a new blush. I will let you know what I think.
ReplyDeleteglad you love PRIORI Georgie and got great results with our Perfection Facial Gel, thanks to Louise for advocating as always!!
