BOBBI BROWN SHEER COLOUR CHEEK TINT


They are just as they say 'Sheer Cheek Tints', they are light and just a wash of colour on your cheeks to give you that healthy glow.

I am a massive fan of creme cheek colours (see previous posts) so for me these are no exception.  I love the range of colours, they way they go on and the consistency.  They have a little sticky feel to them but I normally just add a dash of powder and this gets rid of the stickiness!
 They are very sheer but if you want more of a solid colour you can layer them up, or even get the BOBBI BROWN POT ROUGE FOR CHEEK AND LIPS.  This is a more creamy cheek colour with a heavier texture.

The Cheek tints come in 6 fab colours from a sheer coral colour to a sheer blackberry and retails at about £17.00  @ http://www.bobbibrown.co.uk/ 

Just a lovely spring summer cheek tint addition to you kit, you won't be dissapointed!

NEW REVLON SCENTED NAIL COLOUR....WOW - LOVE THESE!

SCENTS OF THE SUMMER...GET CARRIED AWAY WITH YOUR FAVOURITE!
Scented Nail Colours!!!!  Yet again Revlon have excelled and created a fab new product that smells amazing and coats your nails and again for a great price.

There are 8 different shades and smells and they leave your nails looking shiny and healthy and smelling scumptious.
The shades and scents have great names and smells reminiscent of the season with shades like Peach Smoothie, Bubble Gum, Beach, Ocean Breeze, Coconut Crush all smelling like the corresponding names!
  I love these especially Passion Fruit and Mad about Mango - both smell good enough to eat!  The colours are great, some need 2 coats for better coverage and the colour lasts up to 10 days.  The smell seems to last 3-4 days, but a great concept and I did really love the fun side to these cool nail varnishes!  I just want to smell my hands all the time!!! : )

Go get your own smell of summer from any Boots or Superdrug for £6.49

REVLON - JUST BITTEN LIP STAIN AND BALM

Revlon have launched these fabulous lipstains in 10 colours - I have to tell you about them, they are light weight, inexpensive and have great staying power. They are what they say on the tin 'Just Bitten' giving you that beestung stain!  These lip colours contain Vitamin C for Anti Oxidant Protection and its completely Kiss Proof for all those kissers out there! : )

They are actually a felt tip pen on one end giving you complete precision for lining and filling in your lips and on the other end they are a balm which gives the shine.  You can however apply your own balm or clear gloss on top to give even more shine should you want to.

I have tried and tested a couple of the colours and I really love TWIGHLIGHT AND GOTHIC, they don't transfer (my other half loves this!) and I end up not having to reapply during the day, but this is dependent on what you are doing!  You can layer your colour up for a more intensive colour.

You can buy from Boots or Superdrug for £7.99

Fab product and definitely a great beauty buy... enjoy x
