INEXPENSIVE NOSE STRIPS

REVITALE DEEPLY ABSORBENT NOSE STRIPS

I think by now my fellow readers/followers you may have guessed that I am not snobbish when it comes to cosmetics ( or atleast I hope you've all realized this ) so when I tell you that I found some really good nose strips at the 99p store (equivalent to the 99C store) it shouldnt really surprise you! lol

I usually go for Biore Nose Strips, they work wonders! I always say I will keep using them atleast once a week but yeah NEVER happens! ggrrrr so anyways, I was walking past the 99p store and remembered a few years back one of my besties saying how she had found some really good nose strips from there, so I went in and looked for some, and came across Revitale Deeply Absorbent Nose Strips (deep magnetic cleansing) these strips contain natural charcoal extract (yeah i know i was also like what! CHARCOAL?!) Witch Hazel, Tea Tree and Sylica.

It is recommended that you use no more than 1 strip a week, and since there are 6 strips in each pack, thats a lovely 6 weeks of deep cleansing...

why do I love nose strips??? Well I have quite a few open pores on my nose, which to be honest you cant really notice them, but hey I do some major face inspections in the mirror!! so I obviously notice all this crap lol .... nose strips pull out about 70% of the dirt that lays in the open pores, and help to tighten them too... whenever I peel off the strips, it looks like a colony! lmao ... aayyyy but anywhooo so my nose looks and feels better after each treatment... If you have never tried a nose strip, i highly recommend you try them out!! a lil secret between you and me... I've even used them on the hubby! :)

So, at 99p a box, again you just cant go wrong!! highly recommend these, and the Biore ones too... so take your pick, and give them a go!!

Barbara Daly Eyeshadow Pens

::BARBARA DALY EYESHADOW PENS::

A couple of months back, I stumbled through the Barbara Daly makeup stand at Tescos supermarket... I bought an liquid eyeshadow which is currently part of my daily makeup routine... so a few days ago I went back to see what else I could pick up and I came across 2 new products... the BD Eyeshadow Pens... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM...



SHIMMER SAND - a nice gold/pink shade
SHELL - more of a shimmery silver shade

They where both £4.75 comes in 3 shades, the shades that I purchased are SHELL & SHIMMER SAND ... they give a nice irridescent colour, which is buildable by adding a few extra layers.... super easy to use, and very well packaged... its a twist up creamy type pencil so glides on nicely without tugging at the skin... I use my fingers to blend the color in, but you can use a synthetic brush like the MAC 242 would also blend it nicely...

You really cant go wrong with these eyeshadow pens...

Saturdays FOTD with E.L.F Cosmetics

ELF Cosmetics have been featured in a few magazines and is slowly becoming very popular... its a brand which is inexpensive yet pretty good...

I recently purchased a few things that I needed, e.g Mascara since I have already run out of my usual one which is my fav mascara - L'Oreal Telescopic

So, the following things I purchased from ELF Cosmetics http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/

1. Tinted Moisturiser in Beige - £3.50
2. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black £1.50
3. Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara in Black £3.50
4. Plumping Lip Glaze in Mauve Berry £1.50

All the above was £10.00 only ... there was no carriage charge as ELF was doing a promo whereby carriage was FREE if you spent £10.00 or more ...

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! the tinted moisturizer!! The weather was quite warm, so I didnt want to wear full foundation... the tinted moisturizer felt super light, almost as if I had 'nada' on... but yet managed to even out my skin tone... the beige shade is the PERFECT match for my skin! the beige is described for skin tones that are light to medium with yellow undertones... usually tinted moisturizers look either too pink on me, or too ashy! ATLAST I found one which suits me perfectly!!! the best thing of all, I didnt look oily, and it didnt sink into my pores/scars ... it just made me look like i had a gorgeous healthy glow :) I didnt wear any bronzer, or blush, only used a little highlighter on the cheek bones and brushed it up to the temples...

On the eyes, I used Barbara Dalys Eyeshadow pen in Shimmer Sand then lined the eyes with ELF Waterproof Eyeliner... the liner, I have mixed feelings about... the tip is quite stiff, and I thought it was dried up! but after a few strokes it gave quite a good even line... its great for when you want a really fine line close to the lashes, and it was great for using under the lower lashes, as I feel that when you use a liquid liner usually it comes out a bit harsh, but this looked quite nice... the Mascara was ok too... I wouldnt say I am hooked, I still think L'Oreal Telescopic is the best... but its great value for money, so I would still recommend it...

I cant get over how good the tinted moisturizer is!! 

As for the lips, well I used the Plumping Lip Glaze in Mauve Berry... to be honest, I find that ELF glosses in general are VERY sheer... on my lips the color just seems to look as though there is no color? Well it doesnt show up in pics... in person its not so bad... My lips are quite thick anyways, so not sure if I saw any extra plumping... it defo doesnt sting as bad as conventional plumping products, but you do get that minty tingle sensation... eitherway, its still pretty good, and at £1.50 a pop, its a good bargain!!

you can purchase all ELF cosmetics by visiting http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/ ... its worth signing up to their newsletters or joining their FB page, as they are always doing FREE P&P offers and discounts too ...
