E.L.F Essential Shine Eraser

I recently bought this blotting paper, along with some other items from E.L.F (Eyes, Lips, Face). Their prices are very reasonable, and so far their products are quite good. The blotting paper is nice to use, and I found absorbed a lot of oil. I’m not a very shiny person, so while I found them to be quite handy, some may find that isn’t as effective for them. The packaging is small and thin, and fits nicely into a handbag or a clutch. I would buy this again, as I find the price reasonable and I like the product.

Face of Australia Massage Therapy Lip Gloss

I bought this Face of Australia lip gloss in Newcastle, which is a pretty pinky shade. The lip gloss itself smells like berries, and glides on nicely. I like the colour of it, as it makes my lips look both glossy and pink. I quite like lip gloss rather than lip stick, it’s more playful and I feel like you can’t mess up with it, and you can put it on without a mirror! This one is quite cheap, and looks pretty on my lips so I would buy this again, for sure!

What I’ve bought recently:

Burt’s Bees Radiance Day Cream with 15 SPF.

E.L.F blotting paper and mascara (In black).

Face of Australia lip glosses - In two different colours.

I’ll review these soonish!

My Lip Stuff lip Balms

I love lip balms, they're one of my many loves in life! So when I discovered My Lip Stuff a couple of years ago, I was delighted. A lip balm company that has over 500 flavors? I’m there! I’ve ordered quite a few flavours over the years from My Lip Stuff, my favourites being “Strawberry Milkshake”, and “Blueberry Pie”. The balms themselves are thick without being greasy, and moisturise really well.I also like how natural they are, so I know I'm not putting anything bad on my lips. Worth getting if you love lip balms!

Burt’s Bees Honey Lip Balm.

As I posted before, I love Burt’s Bees hand cream, and so I tried this lip balm from Burt’s Bees. The packaging is cute, like all of Burt's Bees stuff. The honey smell is sweet but subtle, making it great for those who don’t want an overpowering scent. The actual balm itself is a little waxy for my liking, and on my lips can feel a bit thin, as though I need to apply more. I tend to like my lip balms a bit thicker, so this isn’t a favourite of mine. But it’s not a must-have of mine. I would grab it, if I  really needed some lip balm quickly, since it’s available in most stores, and at a reasonable price. But it’s not a must-have of mine.

Natio CleverStick

As I’ve said before, Natio is a really good brand – It’s pretty inexpensive, and I like the quality of their products. I bought this cleverstick (concealer, foundation, and powder in one with SPF 15) when I ran out of my regular concealer, and I really like how this looks on me. It makes my skin look smooth, and blemish-free, and adds a bit of warmth to it (I’m pale, so anything that makes me look alive = Awesome in my book.) Normally, I hate the way foundation feels on my skin, hence the reason I tend to wear concealer, but with this, it feels pretty nice on my skin, and I don’t mind wearing all day. It lasts a long time on my skin too. I’d definitely buy this one again.

Burt’s Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream

I love, love, love this hand cream. My hands can get quite rough, especially in winter when it’s cold, and this cream really makes them feel smoother. When I first got it though, I didn’t really like it. It has a odd smell, and it’s a bit watery at times, but once I started using it regularly – I put it on at nighttimes before I go to sleep – I didn’t mind the smell or anything else, as it works so well. It’s quite thick, and will take awhile to sink in, but as I said, I use it at nighttimes so this isn’t a problem for me.

Overall, this is a really good hand cream.
