Glamglow Super-Mud Clearing Treatment Mask Review

Monday, 7 January 2013

I've got a super exciting post today!! I received a sample of Glamglow Super-Mud Face Mask in my goodie bag from #bbloggersxmas event. I've heard alot about Glamglow and seen lots of  rave reviews of the original Glamglow YouthMud mask so when I saw a sample of Glamglow's more premium sister, its Super-Mud Clearing Treatment in my goodie bag I was looking forward to trying it.


Dove Shea Butter Indulgence Christmas Gift Set

Thursday, 20 December 2012


I have really dry skin so moisturiser is the one product I can never do without! The one brand that I always go back to is Dove. Their products are all always so moisturising, smell luscious and never let me down. So today I'm reviewing Dove's Shea Butter Indulgence Christmas Gift Set.

This gift set comes with three products all inside a gorgeous white washbag. The bag itself is really pretty and elegant. The outside of the bag is made of a quilted faux leather type of fabric which is soft to touch. Inside the bag splits into two compartments on either side with sturdy see through white mesh and zippers to keep everything secure. The bag feels lovely and soft and looks chic too.I will definitely use for weekends away!


Inside you will find these lovely treats from Dove's Shea Butter Indulgence range

Indulgent Nourishment Lotion 250ml
Indulgent Nourishment Hand Lotion 75ml
Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Wash 250ml


As soon as I opened the bag I was hit with that gorgeously rich cocoa chocolately scent of the Shea butter! It's so heavenly...especially for someone with a sweet tooth like me! lol

The body lotion has a slightly lighter texture to the hand lotion as you would expect, both absorb into the skin  quickly without it being oily or greasy but giving me a nice sheen. They both leave my skin feeling really soft, supple and hydrated and the divine scent lingers for hours too :-)


The body wash is also soo lovely! I actually have a little soft spot for Dove body washes...because my skin is so dry I always try to give it as much moisture as possible and I've found Dove body washes to be really creamy and hydrating. I absolutely love those new Go Fresh frangances they introduced last year especially the Plum and Sakura (omg it gorgeous!) anyways back to the Shea Butter! The Shea butter is just as creamy and luxurious as their other body washes with that added cocoa scent. So moisturising and sweetly scented! :-)

This elegant set makes a lovely gift for Christmas or a nice little stocking filler. Dove Shea Butter Indulgence Gift Set retails £12.99 but is currently available at Superdrug for the bargain price of £9.99!

Review: myface Slinky Liquid Liners in Paint It Black (Matte) & Gilt-y

Wednesday, 5 December 2012

I'm always on the look out for a good matte black liquid liner so when I came across myface Cosmetics 40% off Black Friday sale I had a look around their website and noticed they had one. 
If you don't recognise the name myface...they are the brand behind the Blingtone eyeshadows and nail polishes in Boots.

As I was browsing around their website I noticed they had 15 different shades of liquid liner..yes 15! Thats a pretty impressive range of colours! I ended up going for the matte black shade I had my eye on called Paint it Black and also a metalic gold shade called Gilt-y. I chose the gold because I had seen a photo on Pinterest and had been admiring it for quite a while so I thought I would use the gold to try and recreate it...you can see the photo I'm talking about here.

The next morning I was pretty surprised to see that my liners had arrived already...within 24 hours of placing my order! I was pretty excited so I whipped them out of their packaging immediately and got swatching. My first impression was really good...the matte black swatch looked great on my hand. Very strong black colour with the super matte finish I wanted. The gold also looked good but slightly sheerer than I was expecting. The black takes about 20 seconds to dry and the gold takes much longer to set at around 1 min.
After wearing the black shade all week I began to get more and more disappointed with the liner.

The tip of the brush on both shades are quite blunt. They aren't feathered into a fine pointed tip so its difficult to get a very thin line and create the small precise flick I wanted.
But this is what disappointed me the most...Paint it Black is turns into a crazy hot mess as soon as it touches any water! I was watching a Channel 4 documentary (The Curious Case of the Clarke Brothers) which brought tears to my eyes and when I wiped away my tears I noticed that the liner had run so badly it was aweful! I even noticed that I would smudge quite alot even when my eyes watered slightly. I'm not sure if this is the same for the gold because I haven't worn it for a whole day yet. If you want a matte black for a night out or some event where you will be indoors mainly then this is great but if you know its going to rain or you are going to watch a sad movie...do not wear this!! It's such a shame because I really love the intensity of the black and the finish but my search for the perfect matte black liquid liner continues...
myface eyeliners are priced at £10.99 each and are available from their website here and I think they are also available in Boots stores.

Have you managed to find a good matte black liquid liner? I'd love to know your suggestions!
