HealGel Eye

For a long time i have been looking for an eye cream that when i used it i actually feel like it making a difference, which hadn't really happened until i came across HealGel eye. It is a very lightweight gel that doesn't feel heavy or like it is dragging the delicate eye area down. I have been using this for around a month now and i can actually say i can see the difference, generally my under eye without concealer looks like i have been punched in both eyes, however since using this i have definitely noticed the colour has gone down and looks a lot smoother.

Not only is the product fab, i love the pump on the bottle. It may sound stupid but i hate a pump that is either really difficult to squeeze, or gives you so much product it drowns your under eye. The pump on this gives you exactly the right amount of gel so there is no wastage.

This product retails at £32 which for me is 100% worth it for anything that gets rid of my hideous eye bags, you can get it from www.healgel.co.uk

Smashbox Longwear Blush

I had heard a lot about these blushers and it doesn't take mush to persuade me to purchase something, so off i went (to my laptop) to get my hands on one of these. It's always harder online as you can't see the colours as well but i decided on the "Peachy Dream" shade as i am always partial to a peach toned blush.

My first impressions were good, i like the "Grinder" it has on the top so you can use a small amount of blusher at a time, although be careful as i found if you grind too much out, it does make a bit of a mess (as do all loose powders). The colour applies really smooth and evenly, its nice because it quite a sheer wash of colour to the cheek instead of resembling a clown :-)

The colour is really pretty for the summer, probably a tad more pink than peach i would say but i do really liek it and have used it solidly for the past 2 weeks, i also feel liek you get loads of product for your money.

This product retails at £23 and you can get your hands on it HERE

Bourjois Paris So Laque Glossy Amande Defile

Ever since i was young i have had this obsession with the colour mint green, so much so that i wanted to combine my love of this colour with my favourite animal and have a mint green horse (i was so sure one could be found somewhere). So i have been on the search for my perfect mint green nail varnish for a while now and thought i had found it in Essie's mint candy apple, however i found it had a bit too much blue in it to be the perfect one for me (although of course it is still an amazing colour).

I was having a mooch round Boots the other day and cam across this little Bourjois beauty and had to get it straight away, it is the perfect shade of mint green and i love a nail polish with a glossy finish, which is exactly the look this gives to the nails (i have even had people ask me if i had gel nails on). I have had this on for a good week now and it still looks fab!

This retails at £5.99 which is such an amazing price for such an amazing polish, check it out HERE and let me know what you think :-)

I Heart Summer Tag

MAC Cremewash

So i know that MAC are not as well known for their skincare but i have to say i have been loving their Cremewash. It's nothing fancy and doesn't claim anything specific but i have been using it every morning and night for a couple of months and i have to say it does exactly what you want a cleanser to do.

I squeeze a small amount onto my hand with a small amount of water, create a foam and then massage it into my face. It feels so soft and removes every speck of make-up on my face and i have found it's great for any skin type especially if you find something oily breaks you out, this is the cleanser for you. It even has a very subtle hint of a smell (not too fragranced) it just smells very clean.

This retails at £15.50 which i think is an absolute bargain price compared to a lot of the cleansers that are on the market now and it lasts for because it foams you only need a small amount. You can check it out HERE

July favourites

Benefit Watts Up Highlighter

So i have been totally obsessed with this product this month i think i have used it everyday! It's such a beautiful cream highlighter with a subtle, natural pink tone, i find it is a very similar colour to Hush CCB from MAC (which is another favourite of mine).

Being a cream it gives the natural highlight i want during the day and it gives  that lovely dewy finish to the skin when the light hits it that you just don't get from a powder. You do have the option of the sponge on the other end to blend it but i just tend to melt it in with my fingers.

This retails at £24.50 and you can get it HERE
