Origins Drink Up Intensive is an amazing over night mask that is designed to quench your skins thirst and hydrate the skin. I have a real problem with hydration and my skin constantly needs it so i tend to favour products like this that are a proper overnight treatment. I have been using it once or twice a week ( you can use it as desired ), i just apply a generous amount to my skin before i go to sleep and leave it to do it's thing overnight and my skin feels amazingly soft in the morning.
I have also noticed the frown lines on my forehead look slightly less in the morning as the my skin has been re-hydrated over night. Not only does it feel dreamy but the smell of all Origins products are to die for and always smell so naturally gorgeous (nothing perfumed in sight).
This Retails at £20 and you can get it at www.boots.com
So if you have watched my YouTube channel for a while, you will know that this is by far my favourite eyelid primer......EVER!!!! I may have dry skin but my eyelids get particularly oily for some reason and i find if i use nothing or if i use any other brand of primer my eye make-up tends to crease or slide off my face.
It doesn't have loads of colour (which is perfect for me on a day to day basis) it just evens out the colour of the skin, which is great as my eyelids tend to be quite red sometimes. The packaging is great, its made of plastic so it's nice and light and the fact it comes in a squeezy tube is perfect, as that means you can get out every last drop of this amazing primer.
This retails at £15 which i think is incredibly reasonable as a tube tends to last me ages. You can check it out HERE
So i had heard a lot of hype about this mascara but i hadn't used it until recently, my first impressions were very good, like all other Benefit products it's packaged really well and i loved the look of the comb like wand as i love separation with my lashes.
I found it very layer-able with no clumping and you get a very intense black colour straight away to the lashes, being very fair haired a hate it when a black mascara actually appears slightly more grey than black.
I also loved the fact it has little combs right on the end of the wand so you can use the end to get right underneath and into the corners of your lashes easily, it has a long wearing formula that doesn't smudge at all and no flaking what so ever.
I just found that this mascara does everything i want it too, curl, lengthen and volumize! It retails at £19.50 and you can get it from http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/ or from Boots.com
I was kindly invited down to the United Make-up Artists Expo by the lovely people at PAM London (www.preciousaboutmakeup.com). It was full to the brim of amazingly talented make-up artists demonstrating different skills such as, prosthetics make-up, fashion make-up, body painting etc.
Not only did they have amazing demo's going on you could purchase loads of different brands which for me was a chance to purchase products that are only available to me online, so i was super excited to be able to see everything in real life, (not good for my bank account though).
My favourite stand had to be PAM as they have so many brands under one roof (so to speak) i was in my element, i was most excited about Make Up For Ever and Ben Nye, but most exciting of all the lovely Louise Young was also on the PAM stand meeting lots of lovely people and had all of her fantastic brushes and eyeshadow palettes there!
Check out my Vlog below of all the things going on, there was an amazing demo of prosthetics makeup artist Kristyan Mallett recreating a shark bite and jellyfish sting and i shall link all website below :-)
I first received this product in a GlossyBox and to be honest i put it on my shelf and only picked it up a few weeks ago. I half wondered if a mousse would make my hair feel soft as i am used to sticky mousses that make your hair crunchy.
I washed my hair as normal and then applied this to my hair as i would my hair oil which is just before i blow dry. It smelled amazing (just like a vanilla milkshake funnily enough) and didn't feel sticky at all! After my hair was completely dry (whilst slightly still skeptical on how my hair would feel) i just couldn't believe how soft and light it felt in my hair.
It didn't weigh it down and all and just felt super soft! This is such an easy product to apply and i can see it quickly becoming part of my favourite hair products!
This retails at £12.55 which is an absolute bargain for a 200ml bottle, you can get it HERE
