Project 10 Pan

Hullo!

Project 10 Pan has been around awhile now and a lot of bloggers take part in it. 

It's a great Idea, especially if like me you have lots of certain products hanging around that just seem like they never get used up! 

The idea is to pick 10 products and try to use them up before you start buying more! 

The Products I picked are:

Laura Geller Spackle Under Makeup Primer

- 10% Left -

I've had this for going on 2 years now and it's very nearly finished, I'm determined to use it up completely if i'm going to be buying another one. 

N-SPA Apple Mint Crunch Body Scrub

 - 90% Left - 

 I own so much bath products that I literally have been given a warning by the parents to stop cluttering the bathroom cupboards with half empty bottles! Tut Tut. 

The Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter 

- 40% Left - 

One of my favourites lines from the body shop is their body butters and I own about 12 of them now! Which means I seriously need to start using them up! 

Aussie Dual Personality Smooth and Shine Milk 

- 80% Left -

I love Aussie product but they can be slightly out of my price range which means I get slightly carried away when they are on clearance in Superdrug! I picked up a few of these bottles, so I'm making more of an effort to actually use them! 

19 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Bee-Hive

 - 50% Left - 

I used to use this lipstick all the time but recently I've been more into other lip products. I picked this because I really want to see if I can get back into it as I remember loving how it used to make my lips feel :-)  Super Soft and moisturized!

The Body Shop Love Ect... EDP 

- 10% Left - 

I love this perfume but I own so many at the moment I want to start finishing some of the bottles, I'm nearly through with this one so It shouldn't take long! 

Demeter Jelly Belly Wild Blackberry Peach Cobbler Cologne Spray 

- 99% Left -

I really like it but I always seem to pass on it in the mornings when I'm picking what fragrance to wear, so I've decided to throw it in my handbag and see if I have more of a chance of using it up! 

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream 

- 8% Left - 

I have a love/hate relationship with this BB cream, some days it looks great on me then other days it can look horrific! All according on how my skin is on the day I guess. I don't think I'll be buying it again, so as soon as I can finish it the quicker I can go try something different. 

The Body Shop Carrot Moisture Cream 

- 60% Left - 

I used to use this a lot but later found products that I felt were better so I hip it in the back of my draw. I'm determined to finish it! It's only a 50ml tub so It shouldn't take too long :-) 

Soap and Glory Hand Food 

- 30% Left - 

I really love this hand cream, it smells gorgeous but I was recently given a new tube for Christmas so I want to finish it soon.

So that's the products I'm going to try to use a lot more of!

Are you taking part in a Project 10 Pan?

REVIEW - Demeter - Sex On The Beach & Wild Blackberry Peach Cobbler

Hi Lovely Ladies!

I bought these two perfumes from Ebay a few weeks ago after searching online for what felt like months.

I finally found them at a good price and bought them as soon as I could. 

Demeter is a company that make cologne sprays that are based on simple or unusual things.

  

Some of the most popular fragrances are; 

Snow

Rain

Salt Air

Pink Lemonade

Honeysuckle 

Dirt

Gin and Tonic

Thunderstorm

Now I'm going to be reviewing the two scents I own

Sex On The Beach

This cologne was part of the Happy Hour Collection that focused on popular alcohol drinks. 

This was quite a disappointment. I had heard that the cologne sprays where not very long lasting but this was simply ridiculous  It lasted seconds.Which for the price they are asking for is shocking. Luckily I got this at a good price. 

Onto the smell. This is an extremely sweet scent. Quite sickly to me, even though I'm a big fan of sweet scents this is very overpowering in that area.

The notes are : 

Vodka, Pineapple, raspberry, melon and cranberry. 

I wouldn't suggest this to anyone, not just because I don't like the scent but because of the lack of lasting power. I'm trying to give this away to someone right now but no one I know seems to like it !

Wild Blackberry Peach Cobbler

This scent came out with the Jelly Belly Collection. When I saw it on Ebay I got really excited because I LOVE Jelly Belly sweets. I've been eating them for years! 

I really like this scent. It has a a lovely creamy note too it which I believe comes from the peach. It's not as sweet and has a slight bitterness to it, which just makes it more interesting and not sickly. I think the lemon notes make it smell very fresh and clean but not strong enough to turn it into bathroom cleaner.

It's also a lot longer lasting. I find the smell lingers for a good two hours before I need to re-apply.

The notes are;

Peach, Blackberry and Lemon. 

I'm glad I picked this one up, it's nice to carry around in my handbag. I think I'll be using it a lot next year when we get back into those "warmer" months. 

I'm so happy that I liked at least one and I got to try a new brand that I've found interesting. They are also good for novelty affect I guess, with names like "Thunderstorm" and "Gin and Tonic" but I don't think I'd buy another :-) It's nice to have them in my collection but I wouldn't say they where stunning perfumes! 

Hope you have all had a great weekend!

Hair & Perfume Haul (Andrew Barton & Demeter)

Hullo Lovely Ladies!

So earlier this week I went food shopping in Asda and noticed that Andrew Barton Hair Care was on sale, everything in the range was £3 each.

I've loved Andrew Barton's "The Straight Answer Hot Iron Protection Spray" for awhile now, my aunty first introduced me to it and I fell in love with how it smelt. It's a very tropical, pina colada scent :-) 

So I picked up another bottle whilst it was on sale!

I also needed a new Shampoo and Conditioner as I've run out of my Herbal Essence. 

I was immediately attracted to the colour of the bottle and that it was for coloured hair. 

I've been colouring my hair since I was about 13 years old and I really notice how long the colour lasts if you use hair products that are aimed for dyed hair! 

I also picked up this "Frizz Tamer Magical Leave In Conditioner"

I've always wanted to try a leave in conditioner but because of my oily hair I was slightly frightened to pay a high price for one that I was going to through out after my first use. As this was quite inexpensive I thought I would give it a chance. I also love how attractive and professional the packaging is :-) 

 I used them all last night and I'm going to be reviewing soon! 

Also a perfume came in the post this week, it was the second Demeter fragrance I had ordered from Ebay. In my last haul I told you how disappointed I was in the first one I bought which was called "Sex On The Beach" but I actually really like this scent! 

This is part of their Jelly Belly range, I absolutely love Jelly Belly sweets so I was really excited to try this "Wild Blackberry Peach Cobbler" cologne spray. I'm so glad I bought this one! 

So thats my small haul! 

Have you tried the Andrew Barton Hair Products??

Recent Haul (10/10/12) Boots, New Look & Magazine Freebies

Hullo Lovely Ladies!!

So this is my most recent haul post. 

Today  I went shopping with the family to pick up some things...It wasn't long before we all realised we were searching for the same thing....perfume! We ended up spending most of the day in Boots. Which I have no problem with as its a favourite hobby of mine to try to test every fragrance in the store :-) 

They have some amazing perfume offers on at the moment so I suggest you go take a look here if you're on the lookout for a new one :-) 

I picked up this Giorgio Armani perfume called Idole d'Armani

It's a gorgeous scent. It was also half price! 

I bought the 50ml EDP for £29 

My Mam and Nan both picked up Anais Anais which was also on offer :-) 

We stopped in New Look which I have to say is one of my favourite clothing stores. I'm always buying something from there. 

Sadly they didn't have a lot of sale products left in the store but me and my mam noticed they had a good deal on socks. As it's getting colder now, socks are a must for me. 

You get to pick 3 pairs you like for just £4.

I also did some Ebay shopping last weekend and one of the product came in the post this morning. 

I've been obsessing over the company Demeter for a long time now. It's understandable when they have scent names such as "Dirt" "Thunderstorm" and "Gin and Tonic" 

I finally found a couple on Ebay. Sex On The Beach and Wild Blackberries. Wild Blackberries hasn't got here yet but I hope to god I like it more than Sex On The Beach. 

I won't go too much into it now as I'm going to be reviewing them soon. Lets just say I'm not as happy with it as I had hoped! 

Today I also Picked up some Magazines. 

Marie Claire and Instyle. 

Marie Claire this month are giving away:

• A free 30ml L'Occitane Hand Cream *four scents to choose from* I choose Mango Flower. It smells gorgeous! 
•  50ml tube of Dove Colour Radiance Conditioner.

InStyle are giving free 4ml samples of Benefit products you have a choice of :

• Cha Cha Tint
• Sun Beam
• Benetint

Also last week I made a post asking you all what your favourite perfume was,  I had some amazing comments so I just want to say thank you very much ladies! 

I now have a good idea on what my next few perfume purchases will be!

You may have also noticed from the first picture a box of Galaxy Minstrels.....what can I say? It just had to be done ;-)   

Hope you have all had a great day!
