Benefit - San Fransisco Set

Hello guys, how are we all? I thought I would share with you all this fabulous make up set by Benefit my partner Tom got me for christmas.. he let me have it early though yay! I've only had the Bad Gal mascara before but always wanted to try more of their products, this set does not disappoint!

It came in a gorgeous brightly coloured box with a pretty black bow on top and contained the following products:- 1. They're Real beyond black mascara 2. Bad Gal pink lipstick 3. Hoola bronzing powder 4. Lemon Aid colour correcting eyelid primer 5. Pair of false lashes. The mascara I must say is amazing! One of the best I've ever used, really separates my lashes and makes them really long.. fabulous! The lipstick, initially wasn't the sort of shade I would wear but I really like it, it's a pinky colour but not too bright or over the top - quite a nude pink and ideal for a subtle pop of colour during the day. Here's me wearing the mascara and lipstick.. crap picture but you get the jist!

I'm saving my lashes for my next night out so will post pictures of that for you, can't wait to wear them! Did you get any Benefit make up for christmas? If so, what did you have? Louise x

My Body Shop party!

Hello everyone.. well since I wasn't really blogging last summer I thought I'd share my Body Shop party with you all which I had at home last year. (late post I know!) Here's the party pack I received prior to my party..

I found a rep called Karen who came to my house and set up a little stall full of treats on my dining table, she ran through what would be going on and what offers I would be entitled to for having the party. I invited all my close friends and had quite a full house! This was back when I lived in my small flat so as you can imagine with 8 of us in a tiny lounge it was a bit of a squeeze! However we made the most of it, some of the girls including me (of course!) were drinking wine and having a fab time. I put on a few seasonal nibbles, cupcakes, strawberries & cream and a big jug of squash for the non drinkers! Karen then went through the Body Shop catalogue pinpointing one thing off each page for all of us to try.. this was the exciting bit! This also helped some of us who maybe wouldn't have bought the product normally but after trying it gave it a go! She came round with a bronzing tan oil which was lovely and shimmery and melted lovely into the skin, without the horrid smell of normal fake tan - had to get myself a bottle of this! She also came round with a cooling spray for your face (ideal in the summer months when you're hot & sticky!) As part of my hostess benefits I got to choose from a treatment out of the following.. facial, foot massage, hand massage and something else which I've forgotten lol! I chose the hand massage as didn't want to get my feet out in front of everyone or lose my make up during a facial (not a pretty sight when you've got guests!) It was lovely and relaxing and showed me that actually one of the fab scrubs can be used on your hands aswell as your feet, instead of just being used in the shower! So I then also purchased the peach body scrub! We all had a giggle, played games etc and just generally a good time! Something different to have at home rather than your usual drinks etc, why not hold a Body Shop party?! My partner, Tom was working away at the time so it was a nice way to spend my evening with friends! Here's a few pictures of the night including the goodies I purchased..

Look Beauty "Double Hit Lip" Review

Hey guys how are you all?
Just a quick post about one of my many lovely christmas prezzies I had this year off the fella - when I opened these I was so excited to try them!
Look Beauty - Double Hit Lip.. They come in a set of 3 which is around £10, or they retail at around £4 each normally online.
They are a 2 in 1 lipgloss/lipstick duo all in great feminine colours.
I've only known the Look name for their magazines and didn't realise they also did make up.



I tried the coral colour called "Red Alert" on the far right last week and was really impressed, a slick lipgloss alongside a matching matte lipstick, havent tried the other colours yet as I feel they are quite summery shades but I will post as soon as I do! Would definitely recommend this set if you love your glosses/lipsticks and want to try out the Look Beauty brand - it's great value too.

Have you tried double hit lip or any other Look Beauty products?
