Collection Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Cream Review

I don't think I've seen anyone rave much about these collection Lip Puffs before, so I'm getting in there first. I have two shades which are Cotton Candy and Powder puff 2, theres one or two other shades one which is a coral colour and then the other is a very dark nude but everytime I go into boots theres only 3 available, I really need to get my hands on the coral colour though, I wish they would bring out more shades as 3/4 isn't enough. What I love about these are that they are matte but at the same time moisturising. The scent is amazing, I'm not a fan of scented makeup but I love the smell of these, they smell of a vanilla cake which doesn't bother me in the slightest as the smell goes once applied but obviously the smell isn't for everybody. The only thing is they aren't long lasting which is expected from the price but I can get a good 2-3 hours wear before fading from my lips.

Cotton candy 1 - is a blue toned pink, this is my favourite one out of the two, its super pigmented and I can't get enough of how gorgeous the colour is, this has been my everyday wear and I've worn it ever since I got it which was a couple of months ago, its a lovely dark pink berry ( I'm awful at describing haha) its similar to the Revlon colour burst in the shade elusive which is featured in my march favourites. So yes I Love Love Love it.

Powder Puff 2 - I'm quite disappointed in this one, I just don't think this nude suits me one bit, It may suit other people but for me its too light and washes me out so I like to mix it with another nude, its also not as pigmented ( in the picture I had to really swipe so you could see the colour) it also clings to dry patches on my lips which is odd as the other one doesn't. I think this would be better for people with a natural paler lip colour.

These are available at boots for £2.99
Let me know if you've ever tried these out before and what do you think of them?

March Favourites

Im finally back to blogging after being away, (I went to Vegas by the way) ahhh I did miss blogging, I feel bad for not posting for 2 weeks but I'm finally back woo. I can't believe how fast this year is going and its time to do my March Favourites already? I haven't been loving a lot of products lately but these four have stood out for me and I can't get enough of.

Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy - I have purchased this perfume over and over again, Its my all time favourite day time wear as its not too over powering, Most of her perfumes aren't too overpriced either this was roughly £15 which I think is pretty good? I find some perfumes only lasts a couple of hours but with this one it can last pretty much all day on me.

Urban Decay De Slick Oil control Setting Spray - I got this in the Sefridges Christmas sale as I was needing a new one, Im really impressed with this seeing as the price I payed, it should do a pretty good job, I've actually ran out of a primer for the past 2 weeks so Ive needed this to make my makeup last all day its been a life saver.

Models Own Nail Polish In Coral Reef- This is my favourite colour out of my collection, how gorgeous is it? I recently got it back out of my draws a couple of weeks ago and seeing as we've hit spring I new this colour would be perfect, It just makes my nails pop and hardly chips.

Revlon ColourBurst in Elusive - I love these I should really get more colours as I only have the one, I have worn this colour all month and it just goes with any smokey eye look, they are so pigmented and balmy, I normally stick to nudes but Im loving this pinky shade, I feel like I can pull it off.

What have you been loving this month? Hope you all have a lovely easter.

GlossyBox // March Edition

If you read my post on my Look Fantastic box you would of read that I cancelled my Glossybox, as I was getting bit 'meh' with it all, well I lied haha I thought I had cancelled it but apparently I didn't as it had to be after a certain day to not receive the box, this is officially my last one though, Although Im pretty impressed with this months box I think this is my favourite box yet as I love ever single item and I know all the brands. Inside is 4 full sized products plus 2 travel size products. 
The first item is this Naobay Moisturising Peeling worth £13.71, this caught my eye straight away. Its a spanish eco-brand and I love the idea of a Moisturising Peeling milk. It contains particles from the acid tree to remove dulling dead skin cells and brighten the complexion. The consistency is a light weight cream with tiny exfoliative particles that gently buff the skin, sounds great right?
Next are these two Dove Shampoo and conditioners for ageing hair worth £1.19 each, Im not loving this duo as its for 'ageing hair' I don't need that I'm only 24 but I know there are different ages of subscribers so these will be useful for someone. I am going away soon so these would be great to take away with me, I may just give these ago.
This is the NCLA Nail Lacquer worth £13, oh look another nail polish they have to put it. Ive never seen or heard of this brand, the colour is gorgeous though its a bright pinky coral shade, I do love these shade, perfect for spring. Ill be using this on my toes.
This is one of my favourite brands, a full size Sleek Makeup Pout Paint worth £4.99 in the shade port which is a deep berry shade, its perfect for winter. This is very pigmented and a little goes a long way, although it weird having this colour in a spring box. I may go and look for some more spring colours.
Ive never tried anything from Essence before, this is there Lash Princess Volume Mascara worth £3.30, I love the black and orange packaging and you can really grip on the bottle when applying it to your lashes as it has a corseted design. The mascara has a cobra-head shaped wand which has short bristles along the underside of the wand and curved bristles around the top. This sounds quite impressive so I hope it curls my lashes well.

This GlossyBox is my favourite yso far, all the products are worth £37.38. Every single product I will be using except the dove duos I'm not sure about that one ha, I may still give them a go though. I love that these a mixture of skincare, haircare and makeup. What do you think of this months box?
