Benefit One One.

I bought this as a little present to myself, as I was feeling a bit low and decided that a bit of retail therapy would do the trick.
Debenhams just seems to call my name every time I go to town and end up on Briggate, and lucky for me, the Benefit counter is right in front of you as you walk in.

I got this as I don't really have many lip products and this just looked too fancy to put down.
It also doubles up as a cheek stain, so you'd be silly not to get it really ;)
The packaging of the product itself is so cute.
The product is so tiny, I could easily pop it into my clutch bag to freshen my face on a night out on the town.




It applies as a really coral/baby pink colour.
Would definitely brighten up your face on a cold winters day.
The only thing I don't like about this product, is that it leaves my lips feeling quite dry after I've used it, but I suppose that's nothing a quick coat of lipgloss won't sort out.

Have you tried Fine One One?
What's your opinion on it?

L'OREAL Micellar Solution.

I don't know about you guys, but i find it so hard to find makeup remover that doesn't irritate my skin. So whilst i was taking my off my make-up before bed one night, i decided that the next time i went to tescos, i was going to try the new L'OREAL Micellar Solution as everyone has been raving on about it at work.
Not only is it a Make-up remover, but a toner and skin soother all in one.


I didn't want to spend too much, as i'm trying to save for a holiday, so when i saw this little beauty for £3.99 i snapped it right up.
Even though it costs so little, the design makes it look a little bit more pricier.
Simple, yet effective eh!

"Swiftly dissolving all traces of make-up, the 'micellar' solution acts like a purifying magnet on the skin's surface to capture and draw out excess oil and impurities rather than spreading them around your face like wipes can. So gentle, skin feels soothed and toned. No alcohol, no perfume. Hypo-allergenic"

I wear quite a lot of foundation as i have really rosy cheeks, which i hate, so it's safe to say that my skin was in need of a good deep clean.
It really does leave my skin feeling smooth and soft. 
I've also noticed aswell, that since i've been using this, i've come out in quite a lot of spots, which i'm hoping is another sign that it's working!
All in all, i will definitely be purchasing this again.

Have you tried L'OREAL micellar solution, What do you think?

Benefit Haul.

I could literally talk about Benefit Makeup all day.
There's something about the brand, that just catches my eye.
The fact that the makeup counter in shops itself is pink just tops it off.

A few weeks ago, it was my 20th birthday.
My mum asked me what i wanted, and i knew straight away that i wanted some more Benefit cosmetics.
So off i popped into Debenhams to have a look at the massive selection they have.
I think i was stood at the counter for about 20 minutes trying to decide what i wanted.
The lady came over and asked me if i was ok 3 times, i was there that long ha!

After a long think about it, i chose these products, and i was one happy little girly.


First of all i picked up the "Primping with the stars" kit.
In this kit contains:
* They're real mascara
* Stay don't stray primer for concealers and eyeshadows.
* Benetint rosetinted lip & cheek stain
* Girl meets pearl liquid pearl
* The POREfessional pore minimiser.

Then as i continued to browse the shelf, "How to look the best at everything" just happened to catch my eye.
This kit is my favourite of them all, as i use everything in it on a daily basis.
* Hellow Flawless Oxygem Wow foundation.
* Hello Flawless powder foundation
* Boi-ing industrial strength concealer.
* & again the POREfessional minimiser.

I give these to my mum, so she could pay for them for me.
Whilst she was in the queue, i saw the lady talking to a customer about the "Sugar Licious Makeup Kit
She was trialing the Sugar bomb lipgloss out with it, and i knew i had to have it.
Along with the lipgloss comes:
* Benetint rose cheek & lip stain
* High beam complexion enhancer
* Sugar bomb face powder
i LOVE this kit, will definitely be repurchasing again as soon as it runs out.

I bought "Wattsup" on a different occasion, but thought why not throw it in with the haul ;)
This highlighter is probably the best one i've ever had.
I've had people compliment my skin, saying that it's glowing and looks really smooth, and it's all thanks to this little number.
All you have to do, is stroke it across your brow bones, and your t-zone, and your face becomes so much lighter, and fresh.
The deisgn makes it even more appealing, as you get the highlighter on one end, but then on the other you get a handy little sponge to blend it in.
This is definitely worth a repurchase.
Might even have to ask for it for Christmas.

As you can tell, Benefit is my all time favourite makeup brand.
What's your favourite brand and product?

How exciting is Winter?


If you love Winter as much as I do, then you'll be as excited as I am for it.
I love being able to wake up on a morning, put my dressing gown on with a cup of tea whilst picking out which snuggly jumper I want to wear.
When I think of winter, I instantly think Hot drinks, Boots, Cardigans, Christmas lights, Umberellas, Snow, Scarves and best of all - Fall Makeup. Eeek!
