There are so many brands of cosmetics - and so many great ones!
From lip glosses to shampoo heres a few of my most recent cosmetic favourites!
Firstly, I really like I Love... cosmetics. I have a few of their products and I've got to say they are great!
One of my favourite lip glosses is one of theirs.
I think this gloss is lovely! I like it because of quite a few reasons:
a) I've had it for something like almost a year, use it everyday, and it's still no where near finished!
b) It's colour is great, and it really goes well with a lot of different looks. For example, you could wear it on the top of a bright lippy, on its own with some natural looking make up, combined with lighter lippys with pinky eyeshadows or even blacks!
c) It really lives up to it's name - it smells sublime!
d) It lives up to it's name in more ways than one, it stays on for ages and stays glossy for ages too!
Another really nice gloss of theirs if your'e more of a pinky colours fan is I Love.... Strawberries and Milksake. Another I Love... product my family owns is the Coconut & Cream Body Butter. This is also very nice! I'm not usually a fan of Coconut products but I really like this!
Next is Treacle Moon's glorious bath and shower gel- My Coconut Island. I LOVE this! It smells delicious and is really smooth and basically it's just amazing!
Sadly, we recently ran out of this - but there is a reason why! It's great! To be honest, I haven't used it in the shower but whenever I've had a bath that is a must have!
Seriously, this product is wonderful!
Now, I've mentioned smells a lot but I think this spray has got to be my favourite smell! (along with cherry bakewells that is - haha I love them! ;-) )
I wear this quite a lot and I really like it! There's not really much else to say about it!
2true liquid eyeliner- not a well known brand but I like this eyeliner because it sleek, easy to use and I think it looks good! Also, unlike some liquid eyeliners you don't have to re apply the eyeliner all the time - it stays on for quite a while and its waterproof! Another good thing is the brush stays wet for quite a long time so you don't have to keep dunking it back in to get more liquid on the brush.
My hair is quite fine so, obviously I use fine hair shampoo and conditioners. And if you have hair like mine you'll know that it's not always easy to find a great fine hair shampoo. But no fear my friends, I have found the solution! Pantene Aqualight Fine Hair Shampoo & Conditioner is great! After using it my hair feels more soft and smooth than with some other brands I've used before.
The Body Shop Section...
I really like the products from Body Shop - I find that everything I've had from there has been really nice!
1) Strawberry body butter- I really like to use this after I've been in the shower. It makes the skin feel soft and prevents it from getting dry. An added bonus is that it smells gorgeous!
2) Strawberry puree body lotion- I really like the strawberry products! They really do smell great! Also, this has a really 'silky' feel to it.
3) Tea tree oil- this is really soothing stuff. If you have any spots at the moment I recommend using this. When I've used it on them before you can notice the difference after a short space of time. However don't confuse this with essential oils. They need to be diluted first or they can react badly with the skin.
More Make-up Section
I love this! I was given it at Christmas and I love it! It's made with Castor Sugar and Jojoba Oil and acts as a gentle scrub and is 'to be wonderfully moisturising but light enough not to leave you feeling greasy.'
I only recently purchased this and didn't have any gel eyeliners either. My friend showed me it and I really like it so far! Do you have any gel eyeliner? I find that this one seems quite easy to apply and it's very handy as the brush it stuck into the lid at the top- pretty cool, huh?!
I like this mascara because its not too chunky but not too small. It never causes 'clumps' and it stays on for a long time - you have to wipe it off at the end of the day and none of it's even come off yet! Also, the brush is curved to make you eyelashes look curled, making your eyes look bigger. So, yeah, I like this one! I've had it for quite a while now and I'm still liking it.
Drumstick Lip Balm
Right, this is a bit of a silly one but to be honest I still love it! It smells really nice and keeps my lips soft! It's a bit of a gimmick but still I like it- haha! You can get these anywhere; eBay, Superdrug, Claires etc.
I actually love this! I wear it most days of the week and except from it being the coolest thing ever it's a really cool shade! If you haven't heard of these yet they're basically a green lipstick that when but onto skin (or anywhere for that matter) turns a sort of reddy pinky colour! So except from the gimmicky side it is really cool! The colour is really nice and you get the added bonus of your friends thinking it's awesome! Occasionally there will be a few funny looks if you put it on in public though - hahaha! But I'd go as fa as saying that it's my favourite lipstick of 2013 so far!
As you can see I really like Barry M Lipsticks! This colour is cute and it's not actually as bright as it looks in the photo. It's really nice to wear if your'e going out with friends, going shopping, summer time, or perhaps want to brighten up your look/outfit. I quite like this lippy but it's not for everyday wear! This shade is 146.
Next up is a product I've found very useful this past week or so. Aloe Lips with Jojoba, a Forever Living product, is really useful. The website says it is 'Moisturising conditioning balm for lips that soothes and provides protection in hot and cold temperatures. A handy pocket size stick easy to carry at all times. Suitable for use on other parts of the body to calm irritated skin.' And I could not agree more! It proved very useful when I had a cold, to put on dry lips and could also act as a 'vaseline for the nose!' I highly recommend getting this!
So, that was my recent cosmetic favorites - I hope you like it!
I hope you find any of this useful and invest in anything from the list!
