Mascara Madness #18

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. I am back with a new mascara madness post. I have had a few mascaras on rotation over the past few months and as they have come to the end of their life span I thought it time that I would compare to the pitch and give my review the reality. So lets get started...

Covergirl Katy Perry Katy Kat Eye in Very Black and Perry Blue
The Pitch: There’s the cat eye…and then there’s the Katy Kat Eye! Katy Kat Eye Mascara features a Sculpting Brush that sweeps lashes up and out, for full, lush voluminous lashes. Create a 360° cat eye that won’t smear, won’t smudge, but will definitely make other cats jealous! Also available in waterproof.

The Reality: The hype behind this mascara was the reason I picked this one the idea of a mascara that adds volume, length and even help flare the lashes to mimic the perfect winged liner. The twist in the brush head really does the work adding the right amount of volume and length leaving lashes flared and fluttery. But at the end of the day were this mascara  falls down is when they turned this mascara blue!! I loved the idea but the blue of the product just didn't translate to my lashes they looked good but the blue colour just did not show even when used as a topper to the black!!! 


 




















Maybelline the falsies Push Up Angel 
The Pitch: The Falsies effects gets angel wings!! Exclusive Push-Up Wing brush sweeps lashes to the sides, while lifting and plumping up the roots. 


The Reality: This I bought as I was looking for a mascara to really separate and lift my lashes without clumping but at the same time I was skeptical of this curved comb like brush head. But I have to say I was impressed from the the first couple of tries. I say couple of tries simply because it did take time to get used to the comb but overall it does definitely push your lashes up, sepearte and flare. The formula is also really light goes on really smoothly, coats lashes evenly and doesn't clump.

Maybelline Collosal Big Shot Volume Express
The Pitch: Unleash your big shot!! Our Big Shot brush loads fully loaded volume in one coat.

The Reality: I have struggled with this mascara and to be honest I'm still not sure if its the formula or the brush head. The formula is quite thick and does give great volume to your lashes but the bristles on the brush head are short and the mascara itself seems to really stick to them over time so you really have to be careful when applying not to end up with clumps, smudges and flakes of excess mascara on your lashes and around your eyes. You really have to wipe the excess off before you apply.

So that ends another mascara madness post. I hope you enjoyed and hope this helps next  time you are shopping for a new mascara!! Until next time Happy reading and happy shopping!!

Fast Five #2

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you all well. I am back with another Fast Five. I really enjoyed writing the last one and I thought it time I do it all again. Like my previous post I have picked five beauty items that I am going to give mini reviews on for the most part  I haven't spoken about these before but they are products that I have been loving and ones that I want to share. So lets get started....

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade 077 Asia.
For the longest time I have not been a lipstick wearer and primarily this is because my lips are always dry, they tend to become flakey and chapped easily so may ore often than not I have found that any lip product with colour in it usually would dry my lips out further and make them feel all uncomfortable. But that changed recently, after receiving a rimmel lipstick in a beauty box subscription. It was a dark berry purple shade and it suited me so well. Every time I wore it someone would comment saying how good it looked. And it was so comfortable to wear but lets face wearing a bold colour all day can be high maintenance. So I went on the hunt for a more natural shade an MLBB surprisingly I found this in a discount basket at the checkout while I was picking up groceries at Coles. While I only had the sticker  on the bottom of the lipstick for reference of the colour for $5 it was worth a shot. Its a great colour not too pink or brown and I love it just for on a day where I want something on my lips but a more natural look. These rimmel lasting finish lipsticks are so easy to wear. They glide on, are pigmented, creamy and long lasting my lips never feel uncomfortable or dry.

Glamourflage Rauchy Rosie Grapefruit Hand Cream 60ml
Ok so excuse the fact that this tube looks a bit worse for wear sadly the packaging hasn't survived the winter well however the hand cream inside has been the best during these cooler months. My hands have been so dry this winter and not only is this cream hydrating and long lasting but the scent is light and it absorbs quickly with no sticky or slippery residue.

Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in shades 205 Sapphire, 209 Black Violet and 210 Teal 
I know I spoke about the Teal liner in the first post to this series but I had to include these again as I have since purchased two new colours in the range.  I am still loving these and they are so good for adding a pop of colour to your eye look quickly and easily. However I do have to say that the new colours (sapphire and black violet) aren't as creamy as the Teal shade they do require a few swipes to get the perfect application. 

Olay Double Action Day Cream and Primer 50ml
This was an impulse buy during the last 40% skincare sale at priceline it had been marked down to $5 or $6 which I thought was pretty good for a 50ml cream and I was drawn to the idea of a primer and day cream in one. Its been a great addition to my morning routine. The cream itself isn't too thick and it goes on so smooth and absorbs quickly. It also does leave your skin slightly tacky which is helpful pre makeup application and I do feel it contributes to makeup longevity. Now while it does say its mattifying it also doesn't seem to make my oily T zone want to produce more oil which I have also been enjoying.  

Target Pocket Tissues 10 pack 
I know including this item may be boring to some of you but I have to say that these have been the biggest life saver recently and so I had to give them some love. Not only are these tissues in pocket packs so they are compact and great to stash in every handbag, carry bag, pocket and cup holder in your car!! But also they are three ply so they are soft and strong!! Being sick is taxing enough coughing, sneezing and everyone looking at you like you have the plague, so to then have tissues that just disintegrate the minute they are wet (sorry TMI!!) just isn't ideal but these guys stood up to the challenge and having 10 per pack is really handy. The best bit is that target sells them in a 12 pack for $2 money well spent.

So that ends this edition of Fast Five I hope you have enjoyed and if you have any product recommendations or anything you want me to try for review please send them my way. Until next post Happy reading and happy shopping!!

Empties Hits and Misses #7

Hey Readers,

Hope this post finds you well!! Happy September and Happy Spring!!! This weekend I am kinda making the most and spring cleaning a little and this pile of beauty empties has been building up so thought it time I get rid of it. Because there is so much I will try to be brief so not to make this post to long so lets get started!!!


Hits

Kmart Eye Makeup Remover Wipes 30 pack
Still loving these for fixing any makeup mistakes and getting rid of foundation on the back of my hand post makeup application. For 75 cents for a pack of thirty just so simple and convenient.

Sukin Oil Balancing + Charcoal Purifying Gel Cleanser  125ml
This cleanser is really really good and I have enjoyed using it after picking it up in a Priceline 40% off sale a while back. Its really great cleanser definetly removes impurites, makeup residue etc. But also helps keep my oily T zone at bay I always noticed if I used something else the night before that my makeup wouldn't last as well the next day. The Charcoal inclusion doesn't give it the best of scents though. However I would still repurchase.

Manicare Moisturising Nail Polish Remover Pads 32 pack 
I can not tolerate the smell of acetone based polishes and usually the liquid removers that don't contain the chemical don't seem to work very well but these pre soaked pads are AMAZING they don't contain acetone, they don't have a harsh scent and they remove polish quickly and easily with less mess. 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml
You probably don't need me to tell you that this stuff is great (and I think I've sung its praises before). Removing makeup quickly, easily and particularly good when you are so tired and just want to get all your makeup off and go to bed. Also good when your wing liner goes wonky and you wish to fix it quick pair this with a cotton bud and your good to go

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub 125ml
This is one scrub that I have loved for a long time and also one that I do tend to compare other scrubs to. Its the perfect balance between creamy base and scrub particles. It makes my skin feel so clean and smooth.

Johnson's Body Care Moisturising Body Wash 1L
I spoke about this body wash in my last empties and clearly I am still loving it. Not only is the gel itself really great foaming and cleaning sufficiently but the large bottle and pump top means its a great long lasting and handy addition to the shower.

Rexona Clinical Protection Anti-Perspirant Deodorant 45ml 
-Summer Strength, Antibacterial Defence, Stress Control
It seems excessive that I have three empty containers in my empties bag but I really have enjoyed this deodorant since I discovered it. Lets face it some deodorants just don't do the job, breathing in sprays just isn't fun and some you use them for so long that they just seem to loose their effectiveness. I like that this gets me through from dawn till dusk!!!    

Rimmel #Insta Flawless Light Medium 30ml
Still loving this still using it everyday before applying my foundation love the bit of extra that it gives to my finished complexion. Its the top of my list every time I see 40% Rimmel cosmetics.

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous 210 Medium Beige 30ml
Another love that I have talked about alot but one that I have had to stop using for a while as I have found it had to find. My two local Priceline stores no longer carry this shade. When I find it I will stock up!! 

Loreal Infallible 24H-Matte 22 Radiant Beige  35ml
This has become almost the replacement for my covergirl foundation sadly it doesn't quite tick all the boxes that one does. Having said that  I do like it a lot and I continue to use it everyday. This foundation is really my go to for work or days that will be long and touch ups minimal. Its a full coverage foundation and once its on it stays. It great for days I am in and out of cold storage, going in and out of an air conditioned building to the heat of the day despite being winter in Brisbane we have had some warm days. It also seems to keep a hold on my oily T zone staying firm and not break down. Days were I forget/cant be bothered to powder or miss that setting spray step this foundation looks as good at night as when I put it on in the morning. Sadly I am fussy so while I want a matte finish I don't love the flat look so I do find pairing this with the rimmel #insta flawlesss underneath does help to combat that. 

Evolu Recovery Day Cream 75ml
This was a good cream very smooth and moisturising and not a bad scent. Its light on the skin and instantly hydrating but I just didn't use it enough. I prefer using a mattifying cream before my makeup so I hardly reached for this one. 

Garnier Miracle Wake Up Cream 50ml 
I put this last in the list as I am kinda on the fence as to if this is a hit or miss. I did enjoy this one its a nice soft and creamy cream. Easy to apply and makes skin feel soft, smooth and hydrated but its just a good face cream it works does the job but I wasn't completely wowed!!

Misses
Target Hand Poured Scented Candle 
-grapefruit and Cassis, Pomegranate Orange
I wanted so much to love these at $10 each and smelling so good in the jar I thought it was a really great way to pretty up and scent my house. Sadly they just don't have the longevity. Initially you can smell the fragrance but it definitely doesn't permeate around the room nor does it last that long even though its still burning. They also haven't seem to last the 40 hours of burn time it says on the box. A pretty decoration though!!

Klara Reset Instant New Skin 15ml
I bought this as part of a set that I wanted to try and review but I just wasn't that impressed. Its a no rinse formula gel that says it exfoliates to unblock, tighten pores and diminish fine lines. Not only do I really prefer something that is in shower I also didn't really feel like this was doing anything. 

e.l.f Exfoliating Scrub 100ml
This was a miss simply because it wasn't scrubby enough I didn't feel it was really doing anything it seemed to have more base to scrub particle ratio.

Maybelline Color Wisper 25 Lust for Blush
This was such a hyped product and I bought it and used it simple because so many youtubers raved about it. Now don't get me wrong a great formula that sadly maybelline don't do any more but it really was never my colour its definitely too light and too pink for my complexion not sure how I made it work!!! As you can see by the picture its not finished but its so old its time it goes.

Sukin Oil Balancing Mattifying Facial Moisturiser 125ml
Like the cleanser I  did like using this one as it does really help to skin mattify the skin but also is light and hydrating. But the reason it goes into the miss pile is simply the smell. The charcoal is overpowering and unlike with the gel were you wash it off. With this moisturiser its on your skin and the scent lingers long after its absorbed. 

The Body Shop Tea Tree 3 in 1 Wash Scrub Mask 5ml sample sachet
I was really excited to try this one as I love these kind of all in one products. Sadly the tea tree was overpowering and it did leave my skin tingling and feeling tight which I didn't love.

Glam Glow PowerMud  Dual Cleanse Treatment 3g sample sachet
I must be the only person that doesn't love these glamglow mud masks but I just wasn't impressed. It didn't feel that nice on my skin, nor did I really feel it left my skin looking good. It a miss for me!!

Rohr Remedy Australian Wildflower Deodorant
This was part of a beauty  box I received a while ago and while and while its easy to use the scent is great. For me personally it just doesn't do the job I want it to. It one of those deodorants that needs reapplication (in my opinion) throughout a whole day.

So that ends empties hits and misses, I hope you enjoyed this edition and that it wasn't too long. Can't wait to get rid of these items and start fresh for next time. Until then happy reading and happy shopping.

Bellabox August

Hey Readers, 
I hope this post finds you well. My Bellabox for August has arrived and to be honest with a lot happening with home and work I had not realised it was due to be coming to my door. It is also the reason I will not be reviewing July's box. Life has just been busy and I haven't really properly used any of the products well enough to give a good review. But I will be a better blogger when it comes to this box. So lets get onto whats inside!!  

Sand and Sky Brilliant Skin Mask received a 13ml deluxe sample full size is 58ml
This mask contains Australian Pink Clay which will both detoxify and brighten the skin, it also says it will refine pores and leave your complexion glowing. I have to say I am a bit over receiving masks in BB's and other beauty boxes for that matter would really like a variation in products I am thinking I might put this into a find a more loving home pile. 

Palmer Coconut Oil Formula Shampoo and Conditioner received a 50ml of each full size are 473ml.
Enriched with Palmers Coconut oil the shampoo is rich and creamy but free of any harsh chemicals. Gently cleansing the hair without interrupting the moisture balance of the hair. The conditioner is infused with sea kelp, coconut, monoi and argan oils to hydrate and repair damage from the harsh y winter weather. Have not tried any products from Palmers in a while so happy to give these a try.

E.L.F Cosmetics Brightening Eye Liner in the shade black
Infused with beeswax and castor oil this creamy formula says it will go on smooth, line the eyes precisely but also smudge out easily. I am interested to try this as I have in the past enjoyed elf products but I am struggling to work out how a black liner is brightening but nonetheless happy to try!!

La Roche Posay Lipkar Sydet recieved a 100ml tube full size is 400ml.
This gel cream is formulated for dry/very dry skin and particularly skin prone to irritation. Formulated with glycerine, shea butter and Niacinamide to gently cleans and restore the skins cutaneous barrier.  Interested to try this one have been enjoying a lot of products from this brand lately.

So that ends this months bellabox. Some good products this month interested to try most of them. So until next month happy reading and happy shopping!!

Urban Decay Naked Heat A Review

Hey Readers,

I hope this post finds you well. In keeping with trying to mix it up with my current posts I thought today I would bring you all a review post.  So having read the title you will already know that I am going to be talking about one of the most talked about and photographed palettes of the moment. And I know the reality is that every blogger and vlogger has already talked about this palette its packaging, swatched every shadow on their arm, talked about finish and price point. But I am terrible at swatching and describing things and I didn't really want to just repost what Urban Decay has already written (although I have used it a little).  So I thought I will do things a little differently. Rather than just going through every single shade individually, its finish, colour description and a swatch calling the review done. I thought I would go a little further try to include my overall thoughts, talk about how the shadows perform,  how I like to use them, shadows that I find pair well together.  I also want to share why I bought this palette, the shades I love the most, what has worked and what hasn't. As well as giving the answers to the questions I had before I bought this palette and hopefully help you if you are wanting to buy this palette and want more information than just what the shades look and feel like. So lets get started...

Now from the from the first time I saw this pictured on Instagram I was hooked the red, purple and orange toned shadows just looked so beautiful. I was drawn to them instantly, I wanted to own this palette. But this entire palette consisted of  shades I had never thought of owning before. I loved the fact that it was new and different, that out of 12 shadows 7 of are matte and I for some reason I could see myself using them day to day. I also knew that the shadows themselves would be high quality as Urban decay is fairly consistent with that from palette to palette. But I still wasn't sure about it. I didn't even know if red and orange toned or warm toned shadows suited me. I just wanted it!!

I then did  a small amount of research watching most of the youTube videos that had come out when it was released to youtubers in the states. It became quite apparent that these colours worked well for most skin tones and eye colours. I also learnt very quickly that the mattes were beautiful while the shimmers and metallics took a bit of work. Overall I was happy with what I was potentially purchasing and thanks to a Mecca pre release sale I got to own this nearly a whole two months before its released in Australia (29 August 2017) and I have loved it ever since.


As I said previously the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette is the latest in the Naked palette collection, it contains 12 shadows (7 mattes, 2 shimmers and 3 metallics) all shadows are warm toned and there is a mix of red, orange and purple shades. The packaging is a sturdy plastic with magnetic closer The palette also has a full size mirror on the inside of the lid and comes with a double ended brush. 

Ounce 
The lightest shadow of the 12 and from the begging I will be honest I never really saw myself using this shade that much at all. I don't usually highlight my inner corner or brow bone so I never saw me ever dipping into this all that much. But I have given it a go. As a base shade I find it too light for me and a little too shimmery,  but yet as a highlight option it lacks pigmentation you really have to pack it on to see any effect otherwise it just seems to blend away and fade into the background. If your some one that likes your highlight subtle or you have a paler skin tone this probably is perfect for you.

Chaser  
This light matte brown nude its almost skin colour for myself. I love it as an all over the lid shade is really is a my lids but better shade for me. Its great to set an eye shadow base to start a look off. I find it evens everything out allowing you to start with a blank canvas. I also love it to use to blend out shadows when I want to make everything look a little more even or diffused without adding extra colour.

Sauced 
Do we remember when the Naked 2 came out and every video you watched the youtuber would use tease as a transition/crease shade. Sauced is that for Naked Heat it just adds a depth to a look, as well as a softness in a way no other shadow does and depending on what other shadows from the palette you pair it with depends on whether you will see it lean orange or warm brown. Its pigmented enough that it defines well and the shadow itself blends beautifully. 


Low Blow 
Ok this is where crease definition or wanting to add extra warmth to your look really starts. Again pigmented and blendable this shadow just glides on adding definition and warmth wherever it goes. Primarily I use this in the crease and lower lashline. This mid tone brown seems work with any other shade in the palette regardless.  If you are after a really quick simple and work appropriate look use chaser all over the lid and layer sauced and low blow into the crease, liner (I prefer dark brown), mascara and your done. I know its all matte but great when your running late have a meeting and need to look put together!!

Left to Right-Ounce, Chaser, Sauced and Low Blow 

Lumbre 
Really want to know if Urban Decay meant it to be pronounced Lumbray or Loombray.   UD describe it as a Copper shimmer but when I swatch it on my skin I see more of a light peachy pink with a gold reflect. Some reviews have likened it to Nars orgasm blush but since I don't own it I have to say my initial thoughts are  that it looks very much like a light version of Hot mama blush by the balm. That peachy glowy highlight.I haven't dipped into the shimmers much so I haven't used this a whole lot but what I will say is a middle of the lid highlight it does look really pretty.


He Devil 
Part of the reason I bought this palette was for the name of this shadow alone.  I just loved the name and its red tone looked interesting. Described as a burnt red to me and on my skin its and warm red/orange. It not only warms up an eye look but gives something extra to the average neutral look. I love the pop of colour in the crease it just adds so much interest. I would say that it is slightly less pigmented than the other mattes in the palette but it also allows you to control and vary the depth of colour.   


Dirty Talk 
This is described as a metallic burnt red but for me swatched and on my lids it really does look more of a coppery orange toned and is almost a deeper version of Lumbre. Such a gorgeous shadow and really lends itself to being placed all over the lid blended out a little in the crease with a matte shade and a black wing liner added over the top.     

Scorched 
Once again I disagree slightly with Urban Decays description of this one. Its described as a metallic deep red now in the pan I would say spot on. But swatched I do feel it leans slightly orange. Now I will say that some reviewers have said that it looks too similar to Lumbre and/or Dirty Talk. Now if you swatch the two side by side they do bear resemblance with scorched being the deepest shade of the bunch. However with this shadow I feel it is a bit of a chameleon and it really depends on what you pair it with particuarly the mattes. place next to He devil and you definitely bring out that orange coppery tone, pair it with En Fuego and I do feel it brings out the red. Given its depth and shimmer level I do feel it needs a matte for balance but thats really my personal preference this definitely would go well on its own with liner and lashes.

.

Left to Right-Lumbre, He Devil, Dirty Talk and Scorched

Lumbre (bottom) Vs Hot Mama by the Balm

He Devil,Scorched, En Fugeo

Cayenne
This is the shadow I feel should have gotten the description of burnt red (not He Devil) but for the record it is described as a deep terra cotta. Its the perfect depth of red and brown mixed together an amazing colour for adding to the outer V or lower lash line and it is pigmented so you really don't need much.


En Fuego
This was another colour that I couldn't wait to try. As a Queenslander every year around state of Origin I look for a Maroon shadow/liner and its so hard to find something that doesn't look too purple or red. It is described as a burgundy but I do feel it leans more purple over red regardless its the perfect mix of the two. Adding depth to any look or as a liner. 

Ashes 
This purpleish brown is one I was not disappointed to see I really never reached for a black matte shadow. I much prefer a dark brown or deep purple and I really feel its the perfect match for this palette and I wouldn't replace with a brown or black. This is my kinda colour for the upper lash line and wing, I have really enjoyed it. The shadow is pigmented but you do need to build up,  having said that wetting  your brush does do the work for you.  

Ember
I will be honest to say that this is the least used shadow for me so far not because its not beautiful because lets face it, it is. But because its so deep in shade and it has an interesting mix of almost all the shades in the palette. Described as a deep metallic copper burgundy in some lights it looks like a metallic purple brown, in others you can really see the copper with an almost black looking base. Like many other shades in this palette I really feel its dependent on what light your in and what other shadows you pair it with. 

L-R Cayenne, En Fuego, Ashes and Ember

So that ends the review of the individual shadows in this palette. Overall I would like to say that despite its higher price point (particularly compared to what our beauty sisters ad misters are paying OS) I do feel it is worth the $$ particularly if you see yourself using most of the shadows included. 

While I also do recognise that some of these shades look same same on the lid. I don't really feel I am really missing anything to complete an entire look or that I would have included anything that isn't there. I feel this really is actually the first naked palette I have felt that I can complete multiple looks with from the one palette, and that I am constantly using different shadows from the palette. With the only extras I need being liner and mascara. If you have a teal liner pop it on your waterline it just pairs so well with these shadows!!! 

 The quality of these shadows also seems to be a step up from the previous naked palettes even though I do only own Naked 2 and 3. In comparison the mattes are more pigmented, blendable and buildable. As for the shimmers and mettalics yes they need building up but I feel that is a good thing.  I like having control with these kind of finishes you get to choose the final effect you can always add more and its an effort to take it away!! I also haven't experienced a tone of fallout from any of them. I would recommend this palette to anyone its beautiful and I really feel adds a new dimension to any palette collection. 


While this post is NOT sponsored (I bought the palette with my own money). All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.  However while writing this post I have referred to a few websites. So if you are wanting more information or just to see more of this palette.

Bellabox July and June Review

Hey Readers,
I hope the weekend finds you well!! This week another Bellabox box has arrived and I wasn't expecting it this week so its been a nice surprise to see it at my door. But before I get into this months products I will review the box for June!!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss in the shade 30.
I was so excited for this and it did not disappoint!! I love this deep plum it just finishes my makeup looks perfectly and everytime I wear it someone comments says how good it looks. Loving it and will continue to wear.

Sukin Chia Seed Oil 
I will be honest I haven't used this at all I did put it on the bathroom shelf so it was out to remind me to use but I cleaned up and put it into a basket an kinda forgot it was there ooops!! I will try to give it a whirl this month!!

Nivea Cream Mini Tin 
I haven't open this tin but I have used product from a larger tin that I already opened. This cream is great for the winter months so hydrating and long lasting.

Goldwell Dualscenses Just Smooth 60 Second Treatment
I really have enjoyed this one and it really does work when its only been applied to the hair for such a short amount of time. My hair is left soft and smooth but not unmanageable which I enjoy.

Nutraplus Intensive Anti Dryness Lotion
This little tube has been perfect for having in my hand bag with the weather getting windy and chilly bring out the dry patches and this perfect to have on hand for any moment!!

So onto Bellabox July so this months box has come with the theme of Around the globe but I have to say after looking at the websites for two of the three products I have received are Australian with the second Korea so overall we haven't traveled too far nonetheless some interesting products have arrived so lets get started...

Zuii Certified Organic Vegan Flora Mascara received on full size mascara in Black 
This certified organic vegan mascara offers luxurious smudge-proof formula that says it will add volume and length. Always happy to see a makeup item and those of you that read regularly know that I always love trying a new mascara cannot wait to try.

Blaq Face Mask received a deluxe sample 15ml full size is 60ml
This peel off mask contains activated charcoal to draw out impurities and blackheads. I am interested to try this one I don't love using nose strips so while this is still a peel off product I am interested to see if its a good alternative.

The Face Shop Chia Seed Discovery Kit received three deluxe samples from the range.
This discovery kit contains the hydrating toner, hydrating emulsion and no shine intense hydrating cream. This is a nice set to introduce you to the products within the face shop range that are all chia seed based. All three are gentle on the skin, help the skin to retain its natural moisture as well as helping the skin to keep shine at bay. To be honest the only product I am really interested to try is the no shine cream I generally use these types of creams to moisturise before makeup and being a combo skin girl I find they help to keep my makeup last longer.

So that ends my Bellabox for July I hope you enjoyed this and the review of June's box. I am reasonably happy with this box will try everything and share my thoughts next month!! Until then happy reading and happy shopping!!
