Review: Lush The Comforter Bubble Bar!

So I've just finished writing my Superdrug and Lush Haul, so now I'm going to show you more of the amazing Comforter Bubble Bar in all its glory!

In case you don't know, with the Bubble Bars most people usually cut them up to which ever amount of pieces you like. Then you crumble the piece under running water into your bath. These are the results i got.... 

I loved the results! I was actually quite sad to get out off the bath. From the small piece I crumbled into the bath I managed to get loads of bubbles from it, and the water appeared much more pinker in real life then it does on the photos. The Bubble bar made the room smell lovely, the actually Bubble Bar itself smelt of "Sugar and Ice cream" in my Mums words. It was a real relaxing bath, and it definitely made a difference from the usually boring bubble bath I use.

For the price of the product, £4.15, you get a fair amount, I purposely went for the biggest bar I could find. Obviously because then your getting more value for your money. It was really easy to use, and I will probably end up buying more things from Lush. What do you guys recommend?

Haul: Lush and Superdrug!

When I say "Lush and Superdrug Haul" I literally mean one thing from each shop. So I suppose you couldn't really class this as a haul, but in my poll you guys told me you like to read Hauls so here it is!

From Lush I got The Comforter Bubble Bar. Then from Superdrug I got one of the new Collection ( Collection 2000) Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliners in Black.

I've bought numerous things from Lush before, not for me though for friends. But today I finally caved in and decided to try out their Comforter Bubble Bar. As soon as I got home I cut it up to pieces and had a bath, let's just say I'll have a review up very soon ;)

I've recently become obsessed with eyeliner, in all colours and forms. I've never tired a gel eyeliner before, and when Collection announced there release I was very excited and couldn't wait to try one. This is in shade Black. I'll let you know how I get on in a few weeks.

Review: MUA Professional 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's!

If your a regular reader of my blog, you will noticed I've given it a makeover. Let me know what you think of it in the comments section below...

Let's set things straight, even though in my monthly favourites I feature pretty much neutral eye shadows and eyeliner. I'm going to be honest, I'm bold eye lover at heart! MUA Pro 3 in 1 Contour Eye Pen's can be purchased from any Superdrug that sells the MUA Pro range or MUA's website, with an amazing price tag of only £1.50.  And I've got two of these babies in Sage and Gunmetal. 

No sharpening needed, you just twist up the black bit at the top of the pen to reveal the product!

Left To Right: Gunmetal, Sage.

MUA Say's: 

"Create the look with this fantastic 3 in1 Contour Eye Pen. The angles of the nib allows you to create different looks whatever your occasion. Add drama by creating big and bold eyes, go glamorous for a soft and sulty effect, or define eyes for an ultra chic finish."

I've only recently started getting into wearing eyeliner again, and these are a easy go to! They glide on super pigmented onto the lid, within a few swipes they build up to fully opaque. The formula is very creamy and soft, almost butter like. I found these lasted pretty much all day on my upper lid and lower lash line, however I'm not certain on the waterline.

I really like the packaging! I especially like how you don't need to sharpen them, as I can be quite lazy when it comes to sharpening eyeliner. I think the matte black packaging, may not look exactly high end, but it certainly doesn't look cheap. My only problem being with these eyeliners is that it doesn't say the shade name on the packaging, so you would have to take the lid off and twist the product up to see what shade it was.

Overall I would highly recommend these eye pens! They're great for popping into your bag and for travelling, the nib allows you to create numerous looks so there's no need to carry around 3 different eyeliners with you. For pigmentation and lasting power you certainly can't complain! For the price these are fantastic, and I think I'll definitely be picking up another on my next travel to Superdrug.

Review: NYC City Curls Curling Mascara

This mascara is definitely one of my holy grail products, as cheesy as it sounds. It was in my April and May favourites so i thought it was in definite need of reviewing.

In shade "Carbon" so basically black.

The wand was slightly more curved then that, but i bent it in the tube to avoid getting mascara all over my eye lid.

Here's a closer look.

 

Before mascara, not great quality but...

After mascara!

The packaging isn't my favourite, it looks slightly cheap to be honest. Its pink plastic, but does its job and at least its my favourite colour;) 

The wand is fairly short, in my opinion. Which i always look for in a mascara as I think gives you more control when applying. The bristle bit was actually more curved then it is in the picture, I've tired curling mascara in the past with wands similar to this. So from my experience I decided to bend the bristle bit, which consists of short plastic. I really like the wand and think it really helps to give that extra boast and added curl and separating. 

I love the formula! This just doesn't seem to clump at all! You know those mascara's you buy, and when you apply a certain amount of coats it seems to clump? Well this certainly doesn't do that! It gives a definite curl, which is great if you have straight, but fair-ish lengthened lashes like mine. It also gives a black coat to the lashes. The curl lasts all day, well at least until I take my makeup off. And doesn't flake off. 

Overall I would highly recommend this mascara to anyone who is looking for a great curling mascara. It gives a long lasting, black curl which provides a very natural day time look. You can buy this from selected Superdrugs only, for around £2-£3.

Review: MUA Professional Eyeshadow Palette, Heaven and Earth

I know I've already reviewed a MUA palette before, but since this one was in my May favourites and I've been using it so much lately I thought I may swell do a review on it. Also I've been messing about with my lighting lately, let me know what you think of it the comments box.

The Heaven and Earth palette has got to be the most popular palette in the MUA range at the moment, in my opinion. Available from selected Superdrug stores , and the MUA website. The Heaven and Earth palette costs a small £4's! 

Now lets take a closer look at what holds within....

 

With light...

Without...

MUA Says:

"A beautiful collection of eyeshadows that will enhance your eyes to give the perfect natural look."

Swatches! 1st Row...

 

 

 2nd Row...

 

 

As I've mentioned thousands and thousands of times before MUA eyeshadows are absolute amazing quality, compared to higher end eyeshadow as well as other high street brands. The pigmentation is amazing, the eyeshadows are all pearl/shimmer but not overpowering shimmer. They blend out very easy, the formula itself is quite buttery and creamy. 

The lasting power is fantastic alongside primer, however primer isn't a necessity with these shadows. The packaging is like all other MUA pro palettes black plastic, sturdy, see through lid,  but does its job. It doesn't look high end, yet at the same time it doesn't look really cheap. It stands out from other palettes due to its see through lid making the eyeshadows easily visible. 

There is a great range of eyeshadows to choose from in the palette, from bronze to pale beige to dark browns. This palette has everything a neutral eye lover will need! If you like this palette, then you will love MUA's new eyeshadow palette, Undressed , which is yet to be launched in July. And is already set to be a Urban Decay Naked dupe, due to the shades and name. Here's a picture of the undressed palette...

Anyways, overall I would definitely recommend the Heaven and Earth palette to anyone! I wasn't a neutral eye lover at all before this palette, but now I love them! The quality is fantastic, which you cant complain about all at. You get what you pay for packaging wise, but it does its job. The Heaven and Earth Palette, and MUA's Glamour Days Palette are probably my most favourite in my collection. And I will definitely be purchasing the new Undressed palette in July.

Superdrug Haul!

This is stuff that I've bought over two days, some on Thursday and Saturday. So here's what I got.

Glamour Magazine Freebie
So as most of you already know, but some may not. This month you get a free benefit sample when you purchase Glamour Magazine, there's 3 different samples to choose from. You can choose from:

• Bad Gal Mascara worth £10 
• That Gal (primer) worth £15
• The Porefessional worth £10

I choose the Porefessional after hearing amazing things about it, and being sucked in about the cute packaging. Words can't describe how amazing this primer actually is! I love the finish it leaves on the skin, it's like no product I've ever tried before.


Carmex Pot
If you read my review on the Carmex Strawberry Tube, you would know that I noticed the product run out very quickly. I still haven't ran out but thought it would be a good idea to have a back up just in case. I decided to try the pot type this time, I couldn't find the strawberry one so I just got the original. So far I'm not to keen on the smell, but I'm yet to try it out.

MUA Snow White Eyeliner and MUA Pro Face Primer
I thought I'd write about these to products together as they are both things I'm either running really low on, or have ran out. The eyeliner has become part of my daily makeup routine, due to the amazing pigmentation and staying power. As for the Face Primer I'm more then happy with and use it as my daily face primer under foundation, and recently ran out.

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover
Once again another product I've tried and tested, this is my 3rd bottle and this thing has never let me down yet! It removes the nail polish fast and easy. However more swipes are needed for glitter nail polish.

Fashionista Blush, Butterscotch
After hearing about Fashionista's new merged blush I was desperate to pick up the lightest shade. Sadly I couldn't find them in either of my 2 local Superdrugs so I thought I would try Butterscotch instead.

NOTW: Ladybird Nails!

I haven't posted in a few days, but since it's half term I aim to have a new post up everyday.

This week's nails are Ladybird Nails! I saw a Ladybird a few days ago, and was told its apparently good luck to see one. So today I decided to paint Ladybirds on my nails. 

What are your opinions on the lighting in the second picture?

Let me know what you think of the lighting in the second picture for things like swatches, I was given a desk lamp from my grandad and thought it would be use full for taking photos for my blog. 

Products I used....

• Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat
• Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat
• Miss Sporty Fatal Black
• MUA Shade 6
• Barry M Matt White  

This design was real easy to do, and didn't take to long at all compared to other designs I've done. Any Idea's on what design I should do next week?
