Clinque chubby stick

Now I never planned to get this product or even researched this! I went to buy a Christmas present from clinque and came out with a chubby stick for myself!



So chubby sticks are coming into the beauty world and there is a good reason why. There are a lot of drugstore brands that support the chubby stick phase! Bourjois is one of my all time favorite brands and they have a little collection of these which are brill!

Anyway I just saw a little collection of these little chubby sticks with a range of different colours so I tried a few and fell in love with this beautiful colour, which is mighty mimosa (13).
The chubby stick comes under lipsticks, it is possible to use this as a lipstick but along side that pro it is a moisturizing lip balm. Just have one application your can feel it giving your lips moisture and softness. At this time of year I feel my lips becoming so dry and some lip balms just don't help at all but this is amazing. It gives you a nice colour but also that lip balm feeling of keeping your lips moist.

Now I know a few of these chubby sticks are more sticky and more lip gloss when applied this one is more like a lip balm when applied.




I went for a natural colour so I can wear it any time anywhere. I love this little stick it is handbag size and light to carry it around. This goes everywhere with me now. This is £17.00 which is expensive since you can get a similar product from the high street. I personally would prefer to spend a little more and get a better quality lip product. I would recommend the bourjois chubby stick as well but I highly recommend the clinque on. It is a top product and the packaging is also very high quality. This chubby stick winds up from the bottom so look after it and you will get all of the product out of it. I know some high street products that you have to either push or sharpen. I personally never buy something if I have to sharpen it mainly because it never sharpens how I want it to.

Overall this is an amazing product and it is well worth the money I love it!

Oil-licious got2be: review

Hey guys I've got a lovely review on a hair product today which is not something I've done before. Now to tell you the truth I don't do a lot with my hair. I have to wash it daily because I'm obsessed in case it looks greasy I normally use Aussie stuff for my shampoo and conditioner just depending on which one I fancy picking up! So before I dry it I have recently started using heat protection yes I am lazy in that sense. And then add this lovely argon oil. Once its dry it is so soft and silky.


So I got this a few weeks back, overall it is a well presented product and it has multiple purposes. This product is mainly argon oil but it does have other oils in which is why it states on the bottle 'with argon oil' The beauty world has been raving about argon oil for months now and it is starting to come a big hit online and within the shops. It is a great product for your hair so it is totally understandable why argon oil is becoming big. There is other oils which are well known too like Moroccan oil which is also a great product. 
The first thing I think when I hear oil in a hair product, my hair is already greasy without an added oil to make it even more greasy. 


 What does this bottle promise?
Well it states it is a tame and shine styling oil. It also states three uses for this product. You can either apply it before washing your hair which is to provide extra care for your hair so possibly if its feeling dry and unwanted. The second use is to apply on dam hair. This is how I use it so I will go into this after. Lastly you can apply this after drying your hair, this is to provide a hi shine and sleek finish.

Now I de-tangle my hair then brush through it until it is untangled. I then squirt one pump onto my hand and apply it to my hair. This gives it a nice soft feeling. Once drying my hair it leaves my eye untangled and soft. There is also a natural shine to it. Therefore it does tame and shine your hair. Although once drying my hair I don't style my hair in anyway but this does leave me feeling set for the day. On the first day of using this product you can tell the different which is great but if you use it everyday it literally leaves your hair feeling like you have just walked out the hairdressers everyday!

I totally recommend this product to anyone with any type of hair. Mine is feeling so healthy at the minute and its all down to this wonderful product!

This product is £4.07 from boots for a 50ml bottle

Loreal Micellar Solution

Right I realise I haven't posted in a while. I am so sorry, I went away for a few days and I've basically been a bad blogger. Anyway I am now back at university and I just want to let you know I will be blogging twice a week now. I am also going to try and do a few lifestyle/sociology posts so I hope you will enjoy that. I've just got a new camera and I am so excited about it I have literally got photos for the next year of blogging. I am still learning how to use all the features so I am sorry about the quality in the next few weeks. 


Anyway I bought this last month because it was on sale in a supermarket and I have seen it all over the internet. I got it not thinking much of it but this stuff has changed my life totally. So basically this is a little description of it off superdrug "Used by make-up artists, the 'micellar' solution swiftly removes all traces of make-up and acts like a purifying magnet on skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities. So gentle, skin feels soothed and toned. Hypo-allergenic. No Alcohol. Dermatologically tested."
So this is more of a toner/ make-up remover than a cleanser. I personally take the thick of my make-up off with a make-up wipe and then use this over the top. It gets into your pores and removers any trace of make-up which I love. One problem I find with it is it does dry my skin out so I use a cleanser straight after it has dried up then add moisturiser. This leaves my skin feeling wonderful I love using it. One thing I love about this product is how I could literally walk out the door without any make-up seems to get rid off and redness or impurities. Now I know a lot of products claim to do this but this one actually does. I find applying it on a night and then waking up on a morning my skin is very clear. It doesn't get rid of spots which is understandable. 


Does it do what it says on the bottle? 
I would say yes to all three points. Although I don't remove a full face off make-up with it, the bits that are left are definitely removed by this and it unclogs any pores. I have said earlier it does even out your skin tone and leave your face feeling fresh and toned. I love this stuff it really does work. Now it is suitable for sensitive skin which is a thumbs up from me but you do need to moisturise after as it does make your skin feel a bit dry and tight. It does state that it is suitable for eyes but I do have a little insecurity about using liquids to remove eye make-up. I always use make-up wipes as it feels safer. Yes I am weird. 
Now my friend also said this is alot like bioderma, I personally have never tried it but she literally swears by it. You can get it here but it is a lot cheaper in France. So yea let me know what you think of it! I love it

Thanks for reading.
