Spartoo Review: Converse

Hi All!!

Given my recent opportunity to choose an item from the Spartoo website I decided to treat the boyfriend, Richard with something. My boy just like many others out there, is a big fan of this brand; and luckily for him this website has a wide range of Converse to choose from.

I have to say Richard is just as bad as a girl when it comes to making a decision over gifted shoes. The excitment that overcomes you when you have a wide selection to go through and then that tough decision making you have to do when you finally have two or three items to pick from. Luckily he gave me his final decision shortly after and he choose these....

They arrived within the week as per usual from the guys and gals at Spartoo so no drama with the item to being delivered. I love that every item I have received from Spartoo has been delivered so quickly!

Just as they appeared on the website we were very happy with them. Richard himself has reviewed these for me and has said that they are a very well made paid of All Star's, he finds them comfortable and therefore wears them as often as possible. He is able to put these with almost any outfit he wears and thinks they'll will last a long time in his shoe collection.

Richard has seen how happy I have been with item's received from the Spartoo website and now he is a fan also. You wouldn't believe how many times I have spotted him browsing the many other brands they have to offer.

Another satisfied customer!

Review: Arbonne Make Up Primer

Hi All!

Product
Arbonne Make-up Primer


It's Purpose:
Vitamin-rich makeup primer visually diminishes fine lines and pores, creating a canvas for flawless makeup application


My thought:
I was first given the opportunity to test this product for a week from Jeni at JRS Make up Artist who is also a Independent Consultant for the Arbonne. After this week trial I decided to purchase it for myself because it really made a difference. I have never used a make up primer before, so being my first to try out I was careful to critique it well. First of all the packagine of the product is really nice and elegant.....

The primer is dispensed through a pump, which I personally prefer to anything else. ...

What I noticed immediatley after dispensing it onto my hands to blend onto my face is the velvet texture. It feels so nice I can't describe to you and makes my skin feel very smooth.

Once I had blended it onto my face it almost felt like a light layer on top of my skin. Then when I applied my make-up it seemed to take to my skin a lot easier. My make up is set for the majority of the day and even better for a night out as I don't need to reapply my foundation or blush.

I would definately recommend this product, for £24 it is worth every penny. You don't need to use too much of the product which makes it last for a very long time in my vanity case. Not only does it help your foundation last longer but will also improves the look of your skin!

Nars - Taj Mahal Blush

I have always been intrigued at the thought of having an orange blush and I didn't know where to start until I tried Taj Mahal at a Nars counter over the summer. I instantly loved the warm glow it gave to my skin and I bought it immediately, however after purchasing it gathered dust for a few months until I recently started using it again.

If you haven't already heard of using an orange shade as a blush I am sure some of you may be a bit confused but it really is a good colour to use for creating a warm glow to your skin no matter your skin tone. Orange blushes also really compliment tanned, brown and dark skin tones very well.

Taj Mahal is a burnt orange shade with shimmer in it. It is very pigmented so you need to be very light handed when using it especially if you are a fair to medium skin tone as you will end up looking very orange. To avoid this, lightly dip your brush into the blush and tap of any excess product and test it out on your hand first to see how much product yo have on your brush before applying it to your cheeks.

Price: £19.50

It can be bought from any Nars counter or online at http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/

This is my first ever Nars purchase and I am really loving using this blush at the moment, I even sometimes mix it with one of my everyday staple blushes Raizin by MAC.

Lush: Sweet Lips Lip Scrub Review

My first ever Lush buy is the Sweet Lips Lip Scrub which is a vanilla and chocolate flavour. I bought this a while ago and I have used it a few times but I mainly keep this in my make up kit for my clients. A little amount of the scrub is needed and then rubbed into to the lips to remove any dry skin and the product can be licked off to reveal smooth lips. The fact that the scrub is edible makes it even more better as it actually tastes very yummy too.

The Lush Lip Scrubs comes in 3 varieties and are priced at £4.50 each:

Sweet Lips - Vanilla and Chocolate flavour

Bubblegum Lips - Bubblegum flavour

Mint Julips - Peppermint flavour

What Lush say:

"Vanilla extract and jojoba oil keep your lips moist, castor sugar gently exfoliates, and the rich, deep fragrance of cocoa absolute gives this an irresistible touch."

Overall I think that this a good product and also very reasonable for the price. If you have dry and flaky lips this is your product as it exfoliates the lips but in a non abrasive way leaving your lips soft as the sugar in the scrub is quite soft and not harsh. This product is also good to use before wearing lipstick as it removes all the dry/dead skin. Definitely a winter must have!

The Sweet Lips Lip Scrub is made from Castor Sugar, Organic Jojoba Oil, Vanilla Extract, Tagetes Oil, Cocoa Absolute, Flavour.
