The Body Shop: Mango Shower Gel & Body Lotion.

Just a quick overview of The Body Shop's Mango Shower Gel and Body Lotion.

This stuff is just gorgeous. The scent is so...delicious! So fresh and fruity and just amazing. I love it.  ws given the shower gel and soap bar for Christmas, opened it this week and had to get my hands on the body lotion so I could smell of mangoes even more!

The incredibly fruity fresh mango shower gel, £4.00 for 250ml or £5.50 for 400ml, is incredibly cleansing and leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. Unfortunately it doesn't leave too much mango scent on the skin, but thats what the body lotion is for! 

This body lotion is divine. I would have loved to have tried their mango body butter, but £12.50 just seemed a little extreme. £8.00 for 250ml isn't much better, but still! The pump bottle is much easier to use than a tub, and the incredible summery scent is still strong. It makes my skin feel lovely and soft too.

If you don't want to shell out crazy amounts of money on a scent you're not sure about, The Body Shop do small gift sets for £6.00, which contain a mini shower gel, mini body lotion and a shower puff. They do them in all their different scents and I'll definitely be buying the strawberry set at somepoint to see what its like!

New Avon SuperShock Gel Liner Review.

Heres a review of the Avon SuperShock Gel Liners I got the other day!

I don't normally order make-up from Avon very often, I usually don't like the quality. But I'd heard such good things about the SuperShock liners (including their quality - they've been compared to Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide on pencils) that I just had to buy their two new colours, Blackberry and Golden Fawn.

Blackberry is a gorgeous browny/plummy colour with lots of red and pink shimmer, and Golden Fawn (which has been compared to Rose Platine by Chanel by a few people), is a gorgeous champagne colour with lots of silver sparkle.

They really are great. They go on really smooth and creamy, they're definitely similar to the Urban Decay liners in terms of application and quality! I'm not sure I'd agree with the name 'gel liner', for me, a gel liner comes in a little pot and needs to be applied with a brush. These are just super soft, super creamy pencil eyeliners. They have amazing staying power too, It took more than a few swipes of my baby wipes to get the swatches off my hand.

Speaking of swatches, here they are:

Overall, I'm really impressed with these eyeliners, the colours are gorgeous and I've been using them on my lower lash line for a nice pop of colour! I'll definitely be picking up some of the other colours they do and I think I'll be buying the black when I run out of black eyeliner, which won't be anytime soon!

Review: Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask.

I've been looking to try a new face mask for a while. The ones in the packets don't really do it for me, and my Soap & Glory 'The Fab Pore' face mask, as much as I love it, makes my skin sting instead of calming it down. It costs £5.95 for a 75g tub, pretty pricey but you do get quite a lot for a face mask.

So, enter Cupcake from Lush. I've been trying to get into Lush products more over the last few months, and this seemed perfect. A face mask for oily, spotty skin, and it smells like chocolate? Yes please!

It smells super gorgeous, really chocolately with a hint of mint. I've been having a serious phase of breakouts, much worse than I usually do, but I've had this product for just under a week, used it a handful of times and already my face has cleared up and is definitely slightly less oily! It contains linseed infusion to nourish the skin, mint for toning, cocoa butter for moisturising and rhassoul mud to cleanse and absorb grease, all of which I think this face mask does!

Lush says to keep this product refrigerated, but living in Scotland I just keep mine in my bathroom next to the window, I still get that cool, super refreshing refrigerated feeling when I put Cupcake on my face. I leave it on for around 10 minutes, it does tighten up a bit, but its really easy to wash off unlike a lot of other face masks - this one just crumbles away when you splash your face with warm water.

I'm really impressed with this product, and its definitely encouraged me to try more Lush products in the future!

NARS Illuminator Review.

Heres the review I promised on NARS Illuminator in Super Orgasm!

This is my first ever NARS product, so I was really excited to get it! Super Orgasm is one of NARS's newer shades, and is a brighter, more glittery version of the incredibly popular Orgasm shade.

I bought this a few weeks ago from BuyaPowa for £15, although it normally retails at £22, not exactly a bargain so I was pleased to get it a bit cheaper! The packaging is gorgeous as expected, and I'm glad the illuminator bottles are made of black plastic instead of NARS's usual black rubber, which I've heard gets very dirty quickly. 

Super Orgasm is a very peachy pinky colour, with lots of gold glitter and shimmer. Its absolutely gorgeous! The glitter is a little bit scary at first, but once blended in its really lovely. I'd say the colour is comparable to Benefit's Coralista (although Coralista is a bit pinker), they're both bright peachy pinks with gold through them.

I've been wearing this at the top of my cheekbones as a highlighter, with Coralista as my main blush as I think using Super Orgasm all over the cheeks would just be too glittery!

Its just a really gorgeous summery colour and I have it on today because the suns shining! I've just used a tiny bit today, but for going out this weekend I might pop a bit more on for a really shimmery night time look!
