Denman Classic* | Review

Hey beauties! The other week I was lucky enough to receive a parcel from Denman, inside I found the Denman Classic D3 Styling Brush in a gorgeous vibrant pink! This was bought out for valentines and I personally think the brush is adorable. The brush has an anti-static rubber pad to provide maximum grip whilst blow drying leaving your hair smoother than before. This retails for £7.31.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really struggle with finding a hair brush that doesn't make my hair go static, this one however is a miracle. It leaves my hair feeling so smooth and knot free. This is the right size for my hair as its fairly thin and mid-length. The bristles get in between all of the hair evenly.

 

I personally love using this brush for blow drying, it helps boost the volume of my hair after and the brush doesn't melt! Which has happened to me before!  I was quite nervous but this lived up to my expectations. The handles really sturdy and easy to hold on to, as its the perfect size and not slippery at all.

 

Okay all that aside, but the main thing I love about the brush is how beautiful it is. It's such a girlie brush and I don't mind getting this out in public because I enjoy showing it off! I will definitely find myself buying a few more of there brushes!

They're Real vs Roller Lash | Beauty Comparison

 

 

Hello gorgeous! I hope you're all having a lovely Sunday:).

If you know me then you will know my love for Benefit, especially their mascaras! Recently I have been trying out their new Roller Lash mascara and wanted to do a comparison post on the roller lash and the they're real as they are both very hyped mascaras. Before we start I hated the brush on the They're Real mascara that I did actually cut off the 360 degree end as it didn't do anything for me!

 

They're Real ~

 

 

The They're Real mascara is a really good mascara if you're looking for something to lengthen your lashes and give them a real boost of volume! I used this for school and it always look pretty natural. If you're like me and like to do a few coats of mascara then this is a problem with this mascara. I find it dries rather quickly and you have to work with it real quick before your chance is over. I usually do two coats of mascara, but you do only need one coat of this. You can build it up for a more false eyelash look but I personally like to keep it simple.

 

This is pretty simple to remove, it isn't the easy with makeup wipes as it's water proof however with a good eye makeup remover your good to go. The lasting power as in if it holds the curl is okay! It doesn't instantly drop however it doesn't tend to last all day which sucks because that really lets the mascara down:(.

 

Roller Lash ~

 

 

Roller Lash actually hasn't been released yet and its only available in the Elle magazine right now.

 

I love this mascara so much! The wand is just perfect, it has such a nice curve which is great to get the perfect curl and volume, along with length too! The bristles are a good size shape and they really get in between all your lashes. This mascara doesn't dry up quickly so you do have time to actually play around with it or build it up if you wish. This has honestly become my holy grail mascara.

 

When it comes to removing the mascara again you just need a decent eye makeup remover. This mascara honestly stays in place all day, holding the curl and volume right up until you remove it. I will definitely buy the full size of this when it is released!

 

Overall ~

 

I think the Roller Lash is a pretty obvious winner in my eyes, I've not always been a huge fan of the They're Real. I did like it but I didn't think it deserved all the hype it was getting. I really recommend you go out and try the Roller Lash because the difference it makes is amazing. It makes your lashes look so beautiful! :)

Botanicals Cleanser | Review*

Hey beauties!

 

The other week I received a lovely package from Botanicals in the post and couldn't wait to review it. This was sent to me to do a review but all opinions are my own.

 

 

 

This is a renewing clay and bamboo cleanser, it's perfect if you're a vegan as all the ingredients are natural. However there is a lot of oils involved which concerned me at first but its such a lovely feeling cleanser.

 

You put half a teaspoon into the palm of your hand and add some water to create a paste. Then you gently massage it into your skin in circular motion, if you want you can wash it of straight or leave it on for a little longer.

 

 

I personally wash it off straight away because of the oils in it and if I leave it on for too long my skin is ultra oily the next day! My skin has been a little extra oily since using this so I don't use this every single day.

 

 

However my mum has been using this as she has dry skin and it's been working miracles for her. She leaves this on for about twenty minutes every night and it has helped revived her skin so much!

January Favourites | 2015

 

 

Hello lovelies!

 

Please explain how we are in February already!!! This is madness, it only feels like yesterday I was celebrating NYE with my friends and family. To kick start February off I thought I would share my favourites with you all as I haven't done one of these posts since September! 

 

 

Dior Blush - 836 Vintage Rose

 

Argh who remembers my love for this blusher by Dior back in 2013?!. I completely forgot about this and have recently fallen back in love with it! I don't use the pink shade of this, I tend to go for the more coral as its more natural and is a lot more pigmented to be honest.

 

 

St Ives - Apricot Scrub

 

St Ives were kind enough to send me this scrub as part of their #stivessurprise day on twitter. When this arrived I was so excited to use it and it has helped my skin so much. After using this my skin feels so clean and fresh! Scrubs never appealed to me before however this has changed my mind so much and I will definitely re-buy this!

 

Soap&Glory - sexy mother pucker lip lacquer in Charm Offensive

 

This is my favourite of my favourites! I very rarely find a lip product that I love and have bought back ups for already. I got this for Christmas and I have been wearing it everyday since, I love it so much that I went into boots and bought another one just in case I run out or it gets discontinued! Its a nudey brown colour and is such a lovely formula, this is the non stickiest lip lacquer I have found!

 

Kelly Brook perfume - Audition

 

I don't often have a favourite perfume as it depends on the way I'm feeling as to which scent I go for so I've never actually had a scent I wear religiously everyday. This perfume by Kelly Brooks definitely changed that! I have been wearing this non-stop and I think it might be my signature scent from now on!

 

Maybelline fit me foundation - 115

 

You may have seen this in my 'WHATS IN MY MAKEUP BAG' blog post the other day. I am so obsessed with this foundation, its the perfect coverage and shade! I struggle with foundations but this one is the perfect one for me!

 

Makeup Revolution Palette - Iconic 3

 

If you're on a tighter budget or simply just not ready to buy the naked three palette yet in case your worried of not using it enough the in recommend this palette my Makeup Revolution. It's a dupe for the naked three and they're practically identical! The pay off from this palette is beautiful and I've been using it to create almost all my current eye shadow looks!

 

 

There all my favourites from this month, have you been loving anything lately?
