May Favourites 2013

Hullo!

Another month has flown by and were half way through the year already. 

Here are some of the products I've been loving in the last month. 

Palmers Cocoa Butter  - I was late to the whole Palmer Cocoa Butter hype. I finally smelt it when I found a tester in a magazine. I couldn't believe how good it smelt. As soon as I ripped the tiny packet open I knew I wanted the biggest bottle I could find. It's amazing. Its mousturizes and softens the skin whilst smelling delicious! I've Often seen it on sale in places like Superdrug, Boots and ASDA so have a look around. I'm sure I picked my 400ml bottle up in Asda for about £2!

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace - I've talked about this quite often on my blog since I bought it. The sleek blushes are amazingly pigmented and inexpensive. A big range of beautiful colours too. I want so many of them :-) You can read my review - Here. 

L'oreal Superliner Black Laquer in Vinyl Black   - I bought this a few weeks ago after hearing great things about the L'oreal liquid liners. I've been wearing it everyday since. It's a great liner and lasts all day whilst staying extreamly black, no grey-ish tinge with this one!

Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze  - I've heard a lot about the Maybelline Color Tattoos since they came out but never took the plunge until Superdrug started the latest 3 for 2 offer. I picked up the one that seems to be most talked about which is On and On Bronze. It's a gorgeous colour and I've been wearing it constantly since I bought it. I'm deffinitly going to look into getting more of these.  Will be reviewing soon.

Maybelline The Colossal Smokey Mascara - I'm a big fan of BIG mascara brushes and The Colossal Mascara's from Maybelline of always been a firm favourite. I don't see much a difference between this and the original but I like it just the same. It gives my lashes great volume and I don't find that it clumps if I put that extra coat on for a night out. 

OCC Lip Tar in Pagent  - I won this in a Giveaway recently and I was super excited to try it as i've heard so many good things about the OCC Lip Tars. I recently found out you can get them on the Selfridges website which is great. They're slightly pricey, cheaper than MAC but I wouldn't call them Drugstore prices. I think they're worth it though. Pagent goes on beautifully, lasts for hours, feels comfortable and stains evenly. Everything you could wish for in a lip product. It dries matte too which I really like as I prefer a Matte bright lip colour. 

The Body Shop Mango EDT - I picked this up in March and have been wearing it constantly ever since. I'm nearlly finished which is sad but not too upsetting as you can get them for a great price. They are £8.50 for 30ml but you constantly have offers instore and online. I've smelt the Shea and Strawberry ones too and want them. They're not the longest lasting maybe 2 - 3 hours on my skin, longer on my clothes but much better than the body mist versions they released last year. Another great thig is that the bottle is tiny and is easy to keep in your handbag for when you need touch ups. 

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - I waited so long before I bought this. Way too long. It's amazing. A beautiful palette that can be used for daily wear or for that special night out. I'm in love with it. I'm using it everyday. I'm not going to be like everyone else and tell you if I think you should buy this or the UD Naked palette because I seriously think you could have both. Well...if you can't get enough of the neautral's like me you should ;-) 

So those are my favourites for this month :-)

What where yours?

Monthly Empties (January 2013)

Hullo Ladies! 

I've decided to start writing some 'Monthly Empties' posts, mainly because I'm trying my hardest to go through the endless amount of products I have around the place but also because I love reading them from other blogs. Again...this is probably because I'm so nosy :-) 

St Ives Blemish Fighting Face Scrub - I love this stuff, I've already bought a new tube of it! 

Herbal Essence Wild Violet and Pomegranate Hair Mask - I'm a big fan of Herbal Essence hair care but I didn't find anything special about this one. It had a nice smell but I wouldn't repurchase. 

Gorgeous By Gok Body Wash - Smells good but I wouldn't repurchase any time soon. 

Armani Code EDP - Absolutely love this perfume and I'm ready to start on my new bottle of it! If you haven't tried it yet, you need to! 

The Body Shop Love ECT... EDP - Great day time scent. I wen't through It quickly. It's an amazing quality perfume for the price and even better when you can get it on sale. I will re-purchase it some day but I have way too many other perfumes to get though first :-) 

The Body Shop Love ECT ... Body Wash - I've recently been trying to get through the amount of shower/bath products I've bought over the last few months, I choose this one because I knew I was nearly finished with the perfume so I wanted to see how they would smell layered together. It's a nice smell and does smell a lot like the perfume but It's not as fresh or as long lasting. 

Dove Go Fresh Anti-Perspirant in Cucumber and Green Tea - I loved this when I first bought it but it got bored quickly. It started to smell too much like some kind of Febreze. As soon as I realized that I became paranoid about wearing it. It is a lovely smell all the same. I won't be re-purchasing but I have bough a different scent from the same line. It is a good deodorant though so I recommend the Dove range. 

So that's everything I used up in January :-)

 I wonder what products will be on next months post !

Eau My Giddy God: The Body Shop: LOVE ECT...

Hullo girls,

               I have just finished watching a really good movie (200 Pound Beauty- amaaaazing!) and felt like writing another blog post! So I'm writing another Eau My Giddy God post, which is all about one special perfume which I will be doing every so often. I am a massive fan of fragrances, I hate the thought of not smelling good and It's just one of those things that I first pick up on when meeting someone new, Do I recognise that scent? So today's lucky perfume is........Love ECT...by The Body Shop.
             I think one of the best compliment you can give and recieve is "ohh, you smell good!" and I'm happy to say I have recieved a few of those since wearing this perfume. Which I have been wearing non stop for the last few months! I'm in love and I only payed £6! Bargain!
            
             Love Ect is a lovely light perfume that is great for day time, it's very girly but not too immature and has quite a unique and interesting scent. I think it would be great for school or work because it's not a offending scent. It very subtle and fresh.

             What The Body Shop Website says : "Our irresistible fragrance in a lasting eau de parfum: a heart-stopping fusion of jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood notes."

            
               So If you want a clean, girly scent that is not over powering then this is perfect. It's priced at £14 on the webstie but they are always having sales on :-)


                                            Have you tried any Body Shop perfumes?

                                                              Thanks, Linzi xx

            

My March Favorites

Happy April Fools day everyone!

Its the first of April today so Im writing a post on all the things I loved in March.

Viva Glam Gaga is a bright blue toned pink. Its a lovely colour for spring and is a lustre fomulation which means its very glossy on this lips. Sadly this one melted in my bag a few months back but Im still trying hard to use it. 

The suns been great these last couple of weeks for so early in the spring, hopefully it means we will  have a hot summer this year. I've been wearing this everyday since the suns been out and im loving it. This is a great body butter for all skin types, It has a very exoctic pure coconut smell.

Bobbi Browns Long Wear Gel Eyeliner In Espresso Ink. This is my favorite eye liner and I have not just been wearing this all of last month but nearly all year and I'll be buying another when I run out. It such a smooth and pigmented colour to use and lasts all day.

Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara in black, I recieved this in a set with two Bobbi Brown eye liners and a Ultra Fine eyeliner brush. Its a great mascara that gives you length and volume with out the clumps.

Mermaid Blue

This is a lovely bright metalic blue from Maybeline.  

This is a NYC nail polish called Light -Camera - Glitter. I only bought it last week but It hasnt been off my nails since. I love it. It looks amazing over any colour :)

This is a mini bottle of OPI's Cajun Shrimp. I recieved it in a set from QVC. Its great for spring and summer. I love it on my toes :)

This is Love Etc, by The Body Shop. Its a really nice pretty scent that is not too imature. I bought it in a set in the sales. It came with a 200ml body wash and cost just £6. It's a lovely smelling perfume for the price. Ive been wearing nearly every day since I bought it.

This is a body spray from Boots' Natural Collection in Mango and Papaya. It's only £2 and is lovely and refreshing.

This last month I have been using Urban Decays Naked Pallete on my eyes a lot. Its great for a nice subtle eye and a bright lip.

I have been using Laura Geller Spackle Primer in Champayne this month, under my foundation, It gives a lovely glow to my skin and helps with any dry patches.

Carrot Moisture Cream from The Body Shop, great for a face cream and inexpensive at £4.

This is a small Lancome lip gloss that I recieved last christmas with a perfume set that included a mascara and eye shadow. Sadly it doesnt have a name written on it,  Its a light pink with lots a shimmer.

 

This is The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm Stick in pomegranate, Its smells lovely and leaves your lips hydrated and smooth.

Flake Away by Soap and Glory

This is a great scrub that I use around three times a week, it leaves my skin smooth and smelling lovely.
