Dry Lips? Here is the Solution!

I have been struggling for months and months with sore lips :(

Everyone knows how frustrating it can be when you have chapped lips and the healing time is a JOKE... well for me anyway.

I have found a miracle of a cure. 

No fancy packaging or gimmicks just straight to the point.

Blistex Intensive Moisturiser 

I purchased mine from Sainsburys and it was £2.50 for a 5g tube

Now for lips i'm normally a Vaseline kind of girl, not normally one for a moisturiser at all.

It glides on nicely, works into the lips and leaves a lovely minty fresh smell ( and taste if you eat some like I did! haha)

I have been testing it out for a week so far and I am soo pleased at the moment how it has cleared up the splits and dryness.

Have you tried it yet? What is your lip therapy?

Eyeshadow Lip Tricks

Happy New Year to you all!!!

I am sooo sorry I went MIA... I was busy at work and to be honest fancied a bit of family time over Christmas and new years but fear not... I am back =)

So last night, whilst waiting for JP to get home so we could go running (yup, 2012 health kick) I was mucking around with makeup and decided to try and do some looks using eye shadows on my lips.

Very Weird I Know!

I managed to create these gorgeous shades using 2 products only!!

Vaseline (Or a clear gloss) and Barry M Dazzle Dusts.

Now, if you were like me, as a kid... and also now.. I had an obsession with Barry M Dazzle dust. Practically having every colour =/ I thought I would put them to good use.

Seeing as they are a loose shadow and highly pigmented I thought they would be perfect to work with... turns out they are!!

Check out some of the creations I made last night.

*Not 100% sure of the colour numbers but will fill it in once I'm home*

VIDEO BELOW!!

These looks took no longer than 2 minutes to create! Perfect for a fancy dress makeup look, or even if your feeling quite bold and want to wear them out.

Let me know what you guys think.

Have any of you ever tried this before? Recommend any other brands of shadows to do this with? 

Christmas Came Early - GLOSSY BOX

Hey lovelies

I have tried sooo hard not to read any spoilers for this box as it was played up to be THE BEST box yet and let me tell you.

IT REALLY IS!

aaah made me feel all christmasy

The last box I had I said it was OK, but I wanted more makeup stuff to be added and my prayers have been answered!

Check out the loot..... ( apologise for the camera quality, it's off the iPhone!)

Without even opening im already soo happy with the press cards before hand! Even printed on white card makes it soo much easier to read and see more information about the product itself!

Absolutely jam packed with products and full size ones too!

I loved this product by Blink + Go! Such an amazing concept to have the eye shadows and then the blushes underneath in one product! Allot less to carry around in the make-up bag everyday, and the colours are gorgeous. Can't wait to give this a test run. £14.95 isn't too bad in my books! 

 This lip gloss by Cargo cosmetics is a stunning glittery pink/fuchsia colour. Again, I cannot wait to give this ago, off out tonight so will give it a good trial! =) Full size is £10.00

Nice to see another full sized product in here and its also a body wash which smells bloody amazing!! 

£6.50 full size =)

Ahhh Deborah Lippmann, I have been eyeing up your nail varnishes for ever however I do believe that you couldn't get hold of them in the UK? This may have changed now? £16.00 full size and can be bought from house of fraser now which makes me very happy as these polishes are just something else!

The picture doesn't do the varnish justice, its a gorgeous glittery red - PERFECT for xmas day!

Bionova Eye wrinkle treatment - now you're never too young to use a product like this. I'm 24 and have horrendous lines under my eyes - excited to see if this pot will help at all! Full size is £43.00 which is pretty hefty so I would expect to see a difference!!

Overall this box has well and truly WOWED the pants off me!

If every box is like this, I will be one very happy blogger =)

What did you guys think? Has Glossy Box redeemed themselves?
