eos lip balm love




Well I have not been very good and not posted in a very long long time oppsss my bad .. But I am back, and am finally posting this long awaited post that's just been sat in my little drafts folder for a while now. Any who I am adoring my eos lip balms at the minute, I saw these little egg shaped lip balms, but never really felt the need for one ( god knows why) especially as they are not sold in the UK either dohhh . But I went to New York back in April which was amazing!! and my first time in America, being my 21st birthday present from both my mum and dad, which was a Lush present feeling very spoilt, and I came across these lip balms in a little supermarket shop all towered in up in there many different egg shaped colours and flavours. I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to grab one and try it out, and god I am So glad I did! I decided to get the blue looking egg after annoying my mum standing there staring at them for ages, this little rounded balm was perfect, blueberry flavour yumm ( not that I am eating it ) I love blueberry smelling things especially the blueberry body shop products mmmm my fav ... So I am so so glad I brought this, I love the shape of these lip balms, and how the top twists of the reveal the smooth little rounded balm, along with the amazing smell of the blueberry, which made me happy and droll. I had this balm in my handbag for weeks after buying it being slightly addicted to putting it on and giving it a good sniff.
 I realised that while I had the opportunity, I should have picked up more than one of these, so decided to have a mooch on good old ebay to see if I could get another, of course I could! what doesn't ebay have? I decided to order the yellow one, which was named Lemon drop, which sounded delicious, and it also contained an SPF 15 perfect for the summer months, especially with the hot weather we have been having over in England. These balms I just love, I think I would just love all of them, so I suggest if you are ever in America or live there, and do not have one of these, to defiantly buy one! and give them ago they are perfect for your handbag, and to quickly apply when your lips are feeling slightly dry, and if your not visiting or don't live in America order one on ebay or make someone take you  ;)

Emma Hardie Cleansing balm


Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm - £36.00
www.feelunique.com 

I have had my eye on this product for a while now, and finally decided that it was time to buy it after all the pondering, I also managed to get it slightly cheaper with a world cup offer on the website at the time, making the football seem not so bad after all! ... I am so happy that I finally brought this, as I absolutely love it!! This product makes my skin feel amazing!! and smells so good, along with making me constantly want to stroke my own face after using it due to the softness of my skin. The product is a good size, with a honey coloured looking balm inside, it has a lovely golden packaging, and comes with a duel action professional cleansing cloth. This cloth helps to remove the balm after gently massaging it into the skin with warm water, the cloth has two sides, one being an abrasive muslin side that helps to exfoliate dry skin, along with a smoother micro fibre side, for more sensitive areas, all you need to do it dampen the cloth with warm water, and remove the balm leaving your face ready for the night or day ahead. I love everything about this product, from the packaging, to the smell, to the way it makes my skin feel silky and smooth, and the soft white cloth. This balm cleanses and moisturises the skin, it is good if you have sensitive skin like my own, and makes your skin feel, and look healthy and nourished, along with leaving it feeling amazingly soft. If you love to try new products and are looking for a hydrating and lovely cleansing balm I would defiantly recommend giving this a try.

Clinique blushers

These are two of the new clinique cheek pop blushers how amazing and cute are they? I have these blushers in the shades Berry pop, which is the colour on the right hand side of the image, along with the second colour Peach pop, on the left hand side. As you can see from the images they are not brand new, and I have cheekily used these a good few times, this is because firstly I love them lots!! and secondly I actually brought them quite a while back now, but am only reviewing them now. Both these blushers add a beautiful, natural, flush of colour to the cheeks, with strong pigmentation, a small amount of this product will go far, and is easily build-able to add more if required. The blushers have a stunning flower design inside, making you not want to use the blusher and ruin the gorgeous design, along with great plastic packaging, that is compact and simple. Both of these blushers last all day, and are both amazing shades for the summer time to add a natural glow to the cheeks. They are soft to touch, and not to powdery, working well on dry skin like my own, not  looking to powdery or drying on the skin when applied, but actually looking more like a cream blush which I love and think is a bonus!. These blushers come in four different shades, that all look as beautiful as each other, I would like to try the other two colours in the collection as I love the texture, pigment, and look of these blushers when on. My overall thoughts on these blushers are...  they are amazing!! and so pretty and girly, and a must try for blusher lovers and make up junkies.

DIY Ripped Jeans







I made myself a pair of ripped jeans out of an old paid of jeans that I had, and was going to throw away. I decided to give life to my old pair of black skinny jeans by making them into a ripped pair, especially as ripped jeans are very popular at the minute. I actually done these jeans about a month ago now, and have worn them a good few times, which is great, as I had not worn these jeans in about a year before this.
Here is a You Tube video on how to make ripped jeans and one which I followed to make my own pair, along with images of the pair of ripped jeans I made.


Enjoy
