Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation


Well the photo says a lot about this product as it is half gone!

Yes I like this product and I like it alot!

It gives an amazing medium to full coverage and it lasts all day. I think this shade is slightly too dark for me but when blended properly you can't tell.

I mainly use this when I have a night out as I need a product that will last as I don't tend to touch up when I'm out or during the day when I'm having a bad skin day.

This is £6.99, comes in 6 different shades and is available from Boots and Superdrug.

Dr Bronner's Magic Soap


I first saw this on ASOS a while ago and liked the sound of it. One product that has 18 uses, must be good.

Instead of getting this from ASOS I found it in TK Maxx on a recent visit for £3.99! I got the peppermint fragrance but they also had citrus, rose and lavender.

Some of the 18 uses of the soap is shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste and household cleaning. For some uses it recommends that you dilute it in water.

I used this as shower gel and as a shampoo, so what did I think?

As a shower gel I really liked it, the scent was quite strong and in the morning really woke me up. As a shampoo it was horrible. My hair was left looking greasy, felt heavy and like straw. In fact my hair was that bad I had to wash it again.

As a shower gel this is a great product but for other uses I'm not so sure. Even with this is mind I would buy this again.

iWhite Instant Teeth Whitening Kit


Before Christmas I saw this little tooth whitening kit on ASOS but it quickly sold out leaving me feeling like I missed out. But when browsing their New In section on the beauty page in February I saw they had it back. It was the iWhite Instant Teeth Whitening Kit.

This is exclusive to ASOS and come with 10 pre-filled trays which you wear for a maximum of 20 minutes a day (the instructions are on the photo below, if you can enlarge you should be able to read them).  


I saved this to use a week before I went on holiday in the hope I would get lovely pearly white teeth!

When I started using it I found that the trays, which are pre-filled so no messy application of gel or moulding, sometimes were filled with gel in the wrong places, like a lot for the back teeth and not too much at the front. 


I used these every night for 5 days for the maximum of 20 minutes a time. After the 5 days was up I did notice a slight difference in the colour of my teeth but nothing major. I think for a more dramatic different you would have to buy more than one kit which is quite pricy as they are £25 a time.

Also as I have sensitive teeth I am a little wary about using tooth whitening kits but this one caused me no problems at all.

Overall, I don't think I would try this again, for the price of it I expected much more dramatic results and I think I prefer having to fill the trays yourself to you get gel in the right places. Maybe they could do a kit where you get the trays and all you have to do is put the gel in them yourself.

As I've already mentioned this is only available from ASOS and costs £25.00.

The Month That Was....April

Yey we finally had sunshine!


Ok so it might have been sunny but it still hasn't been that warm, can't wait for some lovely long, warm, sunny summer evenings.

I also had some kind of tonsillitis/viral infection in my throat which made me have 3 days off work as felt rubbish and my throat still hasn't gone back to normal but I don't feel ill anymore.

Apart from that I started my diet which you probably know so I'll be continuing that until the end of June at least.


All in all I think April has been a pretty boring month, apart from deciding that next year I'm going to get a BMW. I can get one for only £10 a year extra on my insurance so I thought I might as well spend my money on something I've wanted for a few years so all my savings are going to be spent on that.

Hope you had a good month!
