Review: Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Soap



Review: Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Soap


Considering I don't use make up that much, I love using natural or organic products. Maybe because I want other people to see my natural beauty. I don't want to use any Bb creams, foundations, blush on, something like that. I just want some lipstick and that's it. 


Then my friend gave a product that she was using since last year. It is called Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Soap. I never heard this product. But when I searched about it, I was amazed by this product. Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Soap age is 100 times my age. I can't believe it. This soap is 400 years old. I never heard any beauty product like that. Maybe the soap is really that good that's why up to now both men and women are still patronizing the product. 

Good thing my friend Grace gave me a sample of the soap, because I really want to try it. Actually the soap is written in Japanese so it is really hard to understand it. But since everyone who used it left a feedback about the product online. It gave me a lot of idea on how to use it. 

First day of using:
You can already see a difference on your skin. You can feel your skin softer and smoother. And my skin tone happened to be one step whiter than before. 


5th day of using:
My skin pores became smaller. The pimples in my face lessened and the acne scars are no longer visible to anyone's eyes. 


7th day of using:
My skin became brighter and blooming. My skin discolorations are now even in my original skin tone. It gave me a dramatic change in my skin complexion.

My shoulder...


Using Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Soap for only a week gave me a reason to use it for the rest of my life. See Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Soap at www.uguisushop.com for more information.


Review - Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in RSVP

Review - Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in RSVP


 
Ever since the release of the Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow* I've been intrigued by them but unfortunately I could never justify spending £15.50 on one eyeshadow shade - especially on a student budget! I was really excited when I saw this little gem in my goodie bag and an event a couple of months ago!

RSVP is such a great, versatile shade that looks great on it's own or as a base for powder eyeshadows. Once blended out on the lid it looks a lot lighter than in the pan and is a lovely shimmery shade with tones of pink. It's not a bold colour but adds a little bit of something to the eye for a natural and subtle look. It works really well as a single shade, brightening and opening up the eye, but is also a great base for neutral eyeshadow shades. 

I've been applying it using my finger and then blending it out with a buffing brush which I find works really well. It also layers really well using this method so you can get your desired coverage really easily. Although this eyeshadow is said to be 'creaseless' I have found it to crease on some occasions. Not in a way that is overly noticeable, but still noticeable none the less. It is however really easy to blend back out again so if this does happen a quick sweep over the eyelid will sort it out! When use as a base for powder eyeshadows it's great! It keeps the shadow in place without letting it crease and also allows for easy blending of the colours.
 
Before trying this product I though £15.50 was a little too much for a single eyeshadow but after trying it and becoming aware of it being great not only as a single eyeshadow, but also as a base colour, I think I would happily purchase another shade!
 
Have you tried this or any other shade from this range?

Review - LUSH Oatifix Fresh Facemask

Review - LUSH Oatifix Fresh Facemask



Considering I don't have a bath without using at least one Lush product it's surprising that this is my first Lush product review - can you believe that?! When I go in to Lush I tend to be more taken in by the bath/wash products than I do by any of their skincare, so this facemask is my first skincare product from Lush. I've always been a bit put off by their facemasks because of their short shelf life and often wondered if I would use up all the product before it 'went bad'. Anyway, I decided it was about time I tried one since their often raved about by other bloggers and I'd never tried a fresh facemask before!

I picked up the Oatifix mask as it has been designed for dry and sensitive skin - perfect for my skin! I must worn you now this mask literally smells good enough to eat. It smells like food. It's fruity, sweet and just lovely! It actually took a lot of willpower not to test if it tasted as good as it smelt, haha. The main ingredients in this facemask are oatmeal, bananas and almonds - all perfect ingredients for helping out sensitive skin!
The mask was a little difficult to apply just because it tended to fall apart a bit and didn't hold together too well. I applied it over the sink and some of it did tend to fall off as it was being applied, which isn't something to want on the carpet! It doesn't look like the most luxurious facemask once applied and, dare I say it, looked a little vomit-like (Yup, I said it!). However, it does the job lovely! I left it on for about 10 minutes and once removed my skin felt soft, hydrated and glowing!

For £5.95 you definately get a good amount for your money. I reckon you could get around 10 uses per pot which is excellent. The only downside is that once you buy it you need to use it, otherwise it'll just go bad. I think I will repurchase, however I'm interested in trying some of their other facemasks too!

Review - Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

Review - Lush Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

Hello!

I'm a hugggeeee fan of Lush, particularly their bath bombs and bubble bars. As soon as I heard their Christmas stock had appeared I knew I had to pop in to my local Lush and see what treats they had come up with. Candy Mountain caught my eye immediately. It's pink, glittery and smells divine! A lovely, girly bubble bar. I kept it tucked away in my room for a few days after purchasing it and the scent made my room smell great!

This bubble bar contains vanilla and the overall scent is really sweat, girly and kind of reminds me of love heart sweets (though I could be completely wrong!). The pink colour of the bubble bar transfers in to the water to create a very subtle pink tone to the water and bubbles. The glitter doesn't at all transfer in to the water so if you're a bit scared of coming out the bath looking like a glitter ball there is no chance of this.

I'm never sure how much bubble bar you're meant to use per bath, but I normally manage to make it last about 5-6 baths and this gives enough bubbles for me. I snapped the top peak of this bubble bar and crumbled it under the hot tap. It gave a lovely layer of subtle pink bubbles that lasted the entire bath, not to mention the lovely scent that filled the entire bathroom!

This bubble bar costs £2.65 which is an absolute bargain! I will definitely be purchasing another and keeping myself stocked up on it for as long as possible!

Have you taken a peek and the Lush Christmas stock yet?

Polka Dot Nials & Dotting Tools

Polka Dot Nials & Dotting Tools

Hello!

So after a bit of a disaster with catching my newly painted nails on my razor and 'shaving' some nail polish off I've fixed then and thought I'd show them off.

I got bored of my previous red glitter nails and decided to make them a bit more summery since I've actually seen the sun come out over the past week! I always like to add a bit of decoration to my nails so decided to polka dot them rather than just using one colour.

They don't look this messy in real life - honest!
Barry M's Peach Melba is one of my favourite nail polishes at the moment, it's lovely and girly. Also, I find that it's nice and bright but not too 'in your face' - great for summer! I always apply a white base coat before applying the Barry M Peach Melba as I find it helps the colour stand out more. For this I used Boots Natural Collection's Nail Tip Whitener and used to apply to for my polka dots.


A couple of months a go I decided to purchase myself some nail dotting tools to make doing my nails a little easier. I know that you can make your own with cocktail sticks, pins and old pens but for me it seemed just as easy to buy them as it saved me having to hunt around the house finding bits and bobs to make them. I searched on eBay (which have loads!) and found some at a very reasonable price (£1.50). They're double ended and altogether there are 5 different dotting sizes. They're lightweight and easy to hold. I also find that they're easy to clean with just a small piece of cotton wool and some nail varnish remover. For the price they were I really can't fault them.


Do you like adding patterns to your nails or prefer plain varnish? Have you bought any dotting tools or do you prefer to make them?

Mini ELF Haul

Mini ELF Haul



I found out about ELF a few months ago but since there wasn't anything I needed I couldn't justify the purchases. I decided to wait until there was a shipping offer on which would also allow me more time to decided what I wanted. 

On Friday I looked on the site to find there was a £1 shipping offer when you spent over £10. I decided this was the perfect time to treat myself to a few ELF products!


I only purchased a few things as I didn't want to spend too much money (trying to cut down on spending) and to ensure I liked the products before splashing out on loads!
The delivery was really quick. I ordered late Friday night, it was dispatched Monday morning and arrived before I'd even woken up on Tuesday morning! It was very well package as well which I always think is great!

So I got...

Mineral Moisturizing Lip Tint in Rose
Clarifying Pressed Powder in Rosy Beige 
Nourishing Cuticle Pen
Defining Eye Brush/Eye Crease Brush
Powder brush
Overall I was very happy with what I got and will probably be purchasing from ELF very soon again! 
I spent £12 including postage on 6 products which I thought was amazing considering what I would have spent if I shopped elsewhere.

I have yet to use all the products properly but will most likely be reviewing a couple of them once I have.

Barry M and Technic Nail Polish

Barry M and Technic Nail Polish



I am a big fan of anything to do with nails and I'm constantly swapping the colours that are on my nails. I barely ever get to find out how chip proof they are. I have an ever growing collection of nail polishes but it's never complete and I'm forever adding to it!

Technic in 'Carnival' and Barry M in 'Bright Red'

I purchased the Barry M in 'Bright Red' a few months ago from Boots (£2.99) but haven't got round to using it until now. I really liked the way it applied and also found that it dried rather quickly too! I only put one coat on as I decided to apply the Teachnic in 'Carnival' over the top of it. Although one coat was enough, if wearing it on it's own, I would probably apply two as some of my nail tips where showing through and just to give an overall thicker coating.

The Technique in 'Carnival' was purchased from eBay (£1.95, which I think was a bit of a bargain!) I've been after it for a while so was excited to try it out as soon as it came through the door! I found it really easy to apply although I did apply two coats to 'thicken' the glitter a bit. The glitter didn't spread as evenly as I though it would but I've decided I prefer it being a bit uneven. This also dried nice and quickly.


Although I liked the overall effect of these nail polishes together I think it looks a bit festive. Next time I'm going to try the Technic in 'Carnival' with another, lighter nail polish and see how I prefer that.

I have no yet remove the Technique in carnival but I know from past experience how hard glitter polishes are to remove. Anyone got any tips for this?

How do you like this combination of polishes? Have you tried either?
