Review - Soap and Glory Slimwear

I've had Soap and Glory's Slimwear, which aims to reduce the appearance of cellulite and to firm up your wobbly bits, for a couple of years now and started using it but stopped with half a tube left, not sure why! So I dug it out and started using it again.

When I first was using it I didn't notice a difference but I wasn't using it religiously but this time I used it every night.

I've been using it for about 3-4 weeks and even though the product is a weird dark green colour I massaged it in every night before bed and I've seen a huge improvement. My thighs have definitely firmed up and look smoother. Ok, so my cellulite is till there but it now looks a lot better!

As this is £9.25 (available from Boots) it's an affordable product which allows you to slap it on without thinking that it's costing you an arm and a leg!

I would repurchase this and I'm planning to do so after payday.

Review: Revlon Grow Luscious mascara

I bought this mascara a couple of weeks ago, well actually it was free because I bought it with my Boots point! I love it when that happens!

Revlon had never been a brand which I looked at until I bought their Double Twist mascara earlier this year and boy was I impressed! So when this mascara came out I was abit dubious as it claims to help lashes grow stronger whilst adding length and volume.

The first thing I noticed was how big the brush was. I've put it next to a standard sized eyeshadow applicator so you can see the size. I found it easier to apply a first coat by using the end of the brush and then top up by using the whole brush. And this is the effect you get! Please excuse the crazy looking eyebrows!

The left eye has the mascara on and the right one is without mascara. There is a noticeable difference in length but I'm not sure about added volume. I've only used this twice and so far so good! I would buy this again and I would recommend it for everyone to try!

Have you tried this mascara, what did you think?

My first Lily Lolo order

A couple of weeks ago I ordered some samples from Lily Lolo. They were priced from 50p - £1.25 so were really affordable to try before making the full sized purchase.

What I received:

3 x blushers (bags)

4 x concealer/cover ups (bags)

2 x foundations (containers)

2 x bronzers (containers)

1 x finishing powder (container)

Blushers L-R:

Ooh La La

Clementine

Doll Face

Concealers/cover ups L-R:

Blush away

Peepo

Nude

Barely beige

Bronzers L-R:

South beach

Waikiki

Foundation and finishing powder L-R:

Candy cane (foundation)

Flawless matte (finishing powder)

Barely buff (foundation)

I'v used a few of these already and my first impressions of those:

Doll face blush - very sparkly, not for everyday use

Barely beige concealer - great, would buy this full sized

South beach bronzer - a matte finish very similar to Hoola from Benefit, not my cup of tea!

Waikiki - love it, its got a nice sheen to it and reminds me of Benefit's Some like It Hot. would buy this full size

When I've used the others I'll do a review post on those too!

Have you used Lily Lolo? What do you think? Which products would you recommend?

Haul - Primark

On sunday I went shopping, mainly to get my new Blackberry which I suppose I should have included in this haul but haven't! This is all from Primark as I didn't really have time to go anywhere else.

Faux sheepskin bag - £6

Over the knee socks - £1.50 for 2 pairs

Faux sheepskin mittens - £3

Brooch - £2.50 (enlarged below)

I got this to go on a plain black bubble hem top which needs something to brighten it up and I think this will go well with it. Hmm should have took a photo of it on the top shouldn't I? I might do that on another post another day!

Hope you're all ok and the rain isn't ruining your day!

Next christmas wishlist!

This is my first proper post in ages! I finished work early so thought I'd do a quick post tonight and then hopefully tomorrow I'll schedule some posts as I have a rare day off!

So I popped onto Next's website and they had their christmas stuff on! I'm not too bothered about the new clothes as I don't need any but for christmas I'm asking for Next vouchers so I can get stuff for the house and I've seen loads of stuff I want. So here is my wishlist......

'Tis the season to be jolly words tree - £12

Festive tumblers - £8

Festive mug set - £7

Ceramic cake stand - £12

Scottie dog doorstop - £12

I could have posted a load more things but this post would have been a mile long!

Have you seen the new collection? Have you got your eye on anything?

Just a quick note....

to say......

I've been a bad blogger lately with hardly any posts. This is due to working 5/6 days a week so blogging has had to be put to one side. I promise I'll get back on track soon but not blogging now means lots and lots to write about when I do get back up and running!

New followers - I know I haven't really shown myself to be a good blogger but please stick with me, I promise to get things sorted!
