Top Shop Lipstick review!

The other month, I purchased Topshop lipstick for £8 each. I got 'Mexican Wave' - A bright orangey redish colour. and 'Lengend' - A bright dark pinky colour.. I don't know how to explain it..


I can't find the link on the website! Have they stopped doing them? :(
The camera hasn't quite picked up the true colour of these, but they are near enough!
I'd never really tried out Top Shop makeup when I bought these, but now i'm a little bit obsessed!
The Lipsticks really moisturize your lips when you put them on and just feel so nice!
I thought that £8 was quite alot of money just for a clothing store lipstick, but it turns out it really is worth it!
I now have other colours, but they are currenly at someone elses house, but they are: Whimsical £8 and Nevada - £8
If you are looking for a middle priced Lipstick that is a long lasting and great quality Lipstick, then I reccomend these!
MY ONLY PROBLEM!
The packaging gets dirty in my make up bag, so it doesn't stay all nice and pretty forever, but the product does, don't worry!

Loreal Paris Studio Hot Curl & Straight spray - Empties!

These two babies are just a couple of my many empty bottles!
I've been trying different sprays for my hair to protect my hair against the heat of my straighters and curlers!
I tried Vo5, Toni & Guy and other brands, this brand was my favourite, although Toni and Guy are very closely followed!
At such a good price  I couldn't resist buying these as quite often, Loreal do a 2 for £4 offer on all their studio line
I've used this brand for ages now, and I have many empty Bottles! 
(I have plenty more bottles!) I save the bottles in case I want to do D.I.Y Homemade things.

I use this most often, as I straighten my hair more than I curl it so I get through this faster.
I love this as after straightening your hair, you have a soft silky touch to your hair. I think it does the heat protection bit well! (I can't really tell) 
I think it's essential that if you use heat on your hair then you have to have some kind of heat protection.

This stuff also does a good job ,your hair looks shiny and silky and it get protected from your curlers! Does pretty much the same, but for curling hair!


The only problem I have with these products are, I get through them quite quickly, but then I straighten and curl my hair alot and use quite a bit! If you are looking for something to keep your hair in good condition, then these are great!

A Primark Haul!

I am in love with a shop called 'Primark.' It's full of nice things and cheap prices, although you can find the odd horrible thing and some things with ridiculous prices! Over all the shop keeps up to date with fashion and keeps them at reasonable prices.
So of course, I went shopping with a friend, again, for about the fifth time. It's our little tradition to get the early morning train and pop into primark and eat a small pot of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough Ice cream (Very nice by the way) and shop around for bargains and be the first to see all the nice clothes.
So as soon as I walked in the shop, something caught my eye...




















This was a spur of the moment purchase. I do that alot by the way. I am missing a few things (The eye liner and Mascara) The brush isn't very good. but the blush and eye shadows are great and very pigmented! The lipgloss aren't that great, but still work. Overall a great purchase for only £4.




These are quite cute and nice to wear and I bought these for only £1 along with other bits and pieces. :)

I bought this also to go with my earings, but I don't think I'll wear them together, hmm maybe.. I bought these for around the £1-£2 mark!


This purse, is amazing. I love it. Its cute and sophisticated and a medium sized purse, but when you open it, you'll feel like Mary Poppins! It has millios of card holders and different sections to put your money in and plenty of space to chuck receipts in and fits in most bags, unless the bag is tiny. This was only £5!

This bag, its amazing. I didn't like it much at first, but i've grown to love it. It has secret compartments and fits that very nice purse inside it too! Its not an overly big bag, infact its quite small and perfect to sling on! Only £4!

 I now got into a bit of an obsession with tshirts with collars. This is a nice top, but a black top needs to be worn underneath! Only £5 Bargain!
 Another lovely top, but for £10. Such a pretty top! But should still be worn over a vest or t shirt or something!

This lovely skirt looks better on someone then off, when I picked it up I liked it, but wasn't sure! When I tried it on I fell in love with it, It showed off my figure and just made me look quite nice for a change! £6. (In black)
Another top! £10. Really pretty and again, needs to be worn over something. I love these tops and there cute collars and buttons!
I have a few more things, but i'll save them for the next Primark haul!
Thankyou :)

Garnier Summer Body & Body 7 days review.


I purchased summer body from boots for around £7 for a 400ml bottle, not reading the label saying it was a self tanner. I used this and was surprised to see a sun kissed look on my legs and arms!

I had a closer look and realized it was a self tanner, and I'd bought the shade 'Dark'.

I loved it and would get compliments on how I was so tanned, I admitted it was moisturizer to everyone, but I thought it looked quite natural, but seeing as it was a rainy day, I looked a bit out of place next to pale legs.

I think this is a great product for summer this year in 2013 and I am looking forward to using it for then. It smells of Apricots, moisturizes your skin and just leaves you looking sun kissed. It doesn't leave horrible marks on your legs as long as you rub the stuff in properly and apply even amounts on the leg. There isn't much wrong with this, apart from it doesn't actually work immediately  i'd say it takes a couple of hours to work, but I apply it in the evening and wait over night to wake up with lovely legs!

Garnier Body Intensive 7 days. - £2.99 250ml - Boots.
I picked this up in boots looking to try it out as I had seen a few people had been raving about this. So I bought it to find out I love it!
I use it more than the self tanning one, as I don't think people have tans in the winter! But it is getting closer to summer, so i'll be using the other one soon. It says its fast absorbent  YES! I love it because of that, its not an immediate absorbent thingy, but it doesn't leave you feeling sticky and as soon as you've rubbed it in, you can just put your trousers over the top again without your legs sticking!
It made my skin feel nice and smooth as I have fairly rough skin that's dry and it needs a lot of attention! I got this exact one: Garnier Body, Intensive 7 days Replenishing Lotion with L-Bifidus* Nutritive Mango Oil. Dry Skin. Fast absorbing. (I know there are a few different versions that looks practically the same!)

Over all both of these products are amazing and I recommend them both. The self tanning one is great for a summery sun kissed look and the Garnier Body one is good for when you just want to replenish your dry skin!

Garnier Moisture Match Shine be gone review.

I sent for Garnier Moisture Match Shine be gone, for combination to oily skin. As I have a very combinated skin type, I have dry skin in some places, yet I get quite oily around my nose and chin and other places.
So I bought this to test out.
The packaging is fine and just looks simple and ordinary. Nothing exciting, but nothing bad. 
The product it's self was a creamy substance with a green tint to it.
I used this after I took my makeup off in the evening and I didn't see immediate results, but i rubbed it in and my face just felt, nicer! It wasn't smooth, but it was better than before hand and my face just appeared brighter and healthier and washed. 
I used this in the morning before applying my makeup. My face felt refreshed and looked better. I looked a bit red, but that was sorted after waiting a bit.
The only down sides to this product is you have to rub this in quite a lot and it doesn't absorb as well as others because if you don't rub it in, you look like you've been sweating bucket loads!
I don't know if it happens to anyone, but when I used this product I was a bit red afterwards, but it did fade and this happens to my skin a lot as its VERY sensitive. 
This can be bought from Superdrug for £5.99, but right now its on offer for only £3.99!
Remember, this is what I think of it and i'm not guaranteeing it'll work on your skin, its just it works for me.
BUT if you do have combination to oily skin, then its quite good, but if you have sensitive skin, then I reccomend thinking twice before you buy as I was a bit red and a tiny bit itchy on my face!
Hope you like it! ;)
Please leave a comment on what you think and i'll leave a comment on your blog! ;)

Lou recommends!

I guess this is my first proper blog post and it's only a quickie! I'm just going to recommend something that I probably couldn't live without.
This is the stuff I use pretty much all the time.
I straighten my hair every 1 or 2 days and that makes my hair in bad condition, with split ends, dry hair and just unhealthy looking hair with no gloss or shine.
Then I started using this everytime I washed my hair after towel drying my hair. (Roughly 3 or 4 times a week) It is £6.99 and is an absolute bargain for what it does. I get compliments on my hair occasionally and they ask how i do it. I just love this stuff as my hair now feels knot free, soft, shiny, healthy and definitely not dry! :D
I got it from Boots, but I Heard there are other brands very good too.
I also love the Shampoo and Conditioner!
Shampoo and conditioner - £6.99 each -Boots
I definitely recommend if you have dry hair, or just want something to feed your hair! :D
