Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Pink Gold blog | boots | color tattoo | cream | example | eyes | eyeshadow | gold | maybelline | pink | pink gold | review | superdrug | swatch | whenflowersfall

Hi, my lovelies!

It's been a little while since I last did a little product review. 

Today, I'm sharing with you a new favourite of mine. The Maybelline colour tattoo cream eye shadow in Pink gold. 

When these products first popped up on the shelves I did pick up three shades, but when I recently saw this one appear I knew I had to have it straight away. 

I've been a little on the fence about these products, I find that certain shades apply better than others , but this one applies like a dream. I usually apply it with a brush, but it as just as easily applied with your fingers. 

The consistency of the eye shadow is perfectly smooth and blends really well! 

I've heard a couple of people say that they think the colour of this product makes them look a little tired or ill, but if you do like a soft eye or something quite natural looking, I feel this is the perfect eyeshadow for you.

Like myself, you can either wear this alone or as a base for a different colour/product.

Just as Maybelline claims, this product does last a very long time. I can't say that I have tested it out for a full twenty four hours, but I can vouch for a good sixteen at least. 

I absolutely adore the packaging. The glass may not be ideal if you travel a lot as it can be slightly heavier, but I do think it gives a more 'expensive' feel. 

As with the rest of the colour tattoos, this product is sold for £4.99 and you can pick it up at any Boots or Superdrug store that stocks Maybelline products.

MeMeMe Boho Balm in Pink Rouge balm | blush | boho | boho balm | cheek | cream | favourite | festival | gloss | groupon | lip balm | mememe | review | tint | whenflowersfall

Take a gander at this amazing new product from MeMeMe, the Boho Balms comes in two different shades, Pink Rouge and Coral Taupe. They are a mutli-purpose product suitable for both cheeks and lips. MeMeMe created these in time for festival season, as they make the perfect addition to any festival go-ers bag.

I purchased this in my little groupon buy and I have to say, it's my favourite item out of the entire lot.

The boho balm formula is super smooth, incredibly moisturising and has amazing colour pay off.

My favourite way to wear this shade is to wear the more coral/rouge shade on my lips and the pink on my cheeks.

Both shades can be applied with your finger tips, of course when using on your cheeks, just make sure to blend out nicely to avoid china doll cheeks. (Unless that's the look you're going for.) A little goes a very long way. 

I'm very, very tempted to buy the other shade as I love this so much. Even if you aren't attending any festivals, it's the perfect product to just pop in your hand bag and go.

At only £6.50, these little beauts are a bargain. You can purchase both options on the MeMeMe website, here.

SK-II Skin Signature Moisturising Cream amazing | cream | face | glossybox | glossybox march | harrods | moisturising | review | SK-II | SKII | skin signature | special edition | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Another Harrods Glossybox goody.

I love, love, love this moisturiser, and unfortunately for me, this is the one product from my box that I didn't want to like. A full size 80g product will set you back £127!! Ouchie!

The sample size I received was 15ml, I've been using it twice a day for 4 days now and I've barely made a a dent in it. This cream goes such a long way! It spreads onto your skin very smoothly and soaks in super quick. If applied in the morning, this moisturiser makes your skin feel amazing throughout the whole day. 

I have very dry skin and within the first day of use, my dry patches were gone. 

This cream is a miracle product for me, but due to the very high price tag, I'm afraid I won't be purchasing it once I have used up my sample. Sadface.

Sanctuary Spa Body Lotion beauty | body | body lotion | covent garden | cream | lotion | review | sanctuary | spa | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

    A few months ago my friend gave me this Sanctuary Body Lotion to try. Unfortunately for her, she has very sensitive skin and this played hell with it. Myself on the other hand can pretty much use anything. 

    The lotion is quite thick but is super moisturising! I love it. I usually use it after a bath or shower when skin sucks in anything you put on it. I am so pleased I read the instructions though as it does say not to use on your face. Stupidly being me, I've once rubbed my eyes after applying it and my lord it burns!! It burns so bad!! No amount of eye wash or rinsing with water helped, I just sat there and cried for about ten mintues. 

    I've never used any Sanctuary products but thanks to using this, if I had the opportunity to use anything else, I would most probably try it. 

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream bb cream | blemish balm | boots | cream | face | face cream | garnier | pores | review | skin | skin perfector | skin tone | tone | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

Hi Lovelies!

    This may well be my last review of 2011!! Although I have a few planned out, so I could prove myself wrong.

    For the past couple of months, I've been seeing the advert for Garniers BB cream all over, so when I had the opportunity to request a sample, I did just that. I saw it as one of those products that I didn't want to just jump in and purchase, so I was quite chuffed to be able to try before I buy. 

    Garnier claims the cream immediately perfects skin, evens tone and gives you a boosted glow by blurring imperfections and smoothing fine lines. The cream also contains SPF15 and has 24hr hydrating qualities.

   The cream itself has an opaque colour and is quite thick, but when used it really blends well. It has a very smooth consistency and doesn't feel sticky. The sample I had been sent was in light and contained enough for two uses.

    As you can see by the photos above, this cream really makes a difference!! I am so impressed I have decided I will probably go and buy some now. I found the coverage nice and light, but it's also easily buildable enough for if you want a little more coverage in certain areas.
    In my opinion the BB cream really does what it says on the packaging. It definitely evened my skin tones, and filled in any fine lines, it even tackled my troublesome pores on my nose. I felt confident enough after using this, that I didn't even apply foundation afterwards.
    The only teeny tiny downfall I found was that it does leave you a little shiny, but that's easily fixed with a little setting powder.
     50ml of this product sells for £9.99 in Boots and I'm pretty sure that would last me a rather long time. If you would like to purchase some yourself you can visit the Boots website here.

Disclaimer- I requested this sample to review, all the my opinions are truthful and honest.
