Kiss Body Moisturiser Review

Kiss Body Moisturizer Review

This was £4.00 from Wilkos, and they also sell the whole range of Kiss skincare and body care.

Onto the review... I have quite dry legs, towards my ankles and calves. I bought this because it was cheap and I needed a moisturizer Note: I have only used this on my legs, because of my dry skin. I used 1 and a half pumps one each calf, and then two for my thigh. It smells very good, but was shimmery. For me, that's a big no-no as if I had my legs on show, I wouldn't really want sparkles on my legs. However, since I usually put it on when I go to sleep, it's not that big of an issue. It's not very 'heavy-duty', it's more of a light moisturizer. Took about 10 minutes for it to totally sink into my skin, and not feel really wet or sticky.

I think this is a good moisturizer if you're looking for a cheap one, but beware the shimmers! Haha, some people may like that, but just a warning. Anyway, good product, juts not 100% moisturizing...

The Candle Tag

The Candle Tag

Disclaimer: I may not own this tag, but I have never come across it before. If someone has done it before, then that is without my knowledge, and I apologize if this isn't the correct one. I'm just having fun and doing something a bit different.

It's that time of year where we shut our windows, close the curtains and put the fire on! With the new year just around the corner, it's blatant that the cold weather pushes us inside our homes. But fear not! All doesn't have to be bleak. 

Yes, that's right. Candles are here! Placed in a dimly lit room changes the atmosphere to cosy and safe. I like lighting my main candles (in the above photos) and little tealights. I especially like doing this when I'm having a bath or doing some blogging! My favourite candle is my orange scented one, which I got from a sweet old man in York a few months back. It smells divine and adds a pop of colour to the room. I then have my two tin candles, in the scents 'Oxygen' and 'Faerie Wishes and Kisses'. I'm not sure where I got these from, but there are similar ones sold in John Lewis in a variety of sizes. They smell sweet, but very cleansing and pure. The smallest candle is a simple, plain candle (not scented) in a clear jar. Perhaps boring, but I like it. The last candle is my Christmas countdown candle. I do this on how many sleeps until Christmas, starting at 25, ending at 1. Great help as I deleted the app :P

I love candles, and this Winter, I hope you can share this love of candles with me! Go light some lovely little lights and enjoy Christmas and the New Year!

About The Tag: If you want to take part in it, all you need to do is describe your favourite candles! No questions, just typing and sitting in a room filled with candle love. 

I TAG - EVERYONE! And, littlemissstyleguru if she's reading this :)

Wilko Stippling Brush Review

 Wilko Stippling Brush Review

Recently I bought the Wilko Stippling Brush for a mere £4.00, and I thought I'd do a quick review on this.

So the first thing I noticed about this is how much the handle looked like a Real Techniques brush. It was eye catching, so it's working! When I took it out of the packaging, it had a smart little bristle protector on it, which I will be keeping for when I travel. It also came in a zip lock package, which I will again be keeping. I tried it out using the Collection BB Cream, and it applied to my face well. However, the bristles weren't super soft, and mildly stung when I stippled it onto my face. 

I then cleaned this, and decided how well it would apply blusher/bronzer/highlighter. It applies great! Light coverage, doesn't make you look like a clown and only need a bit of  product. New favourite blush brush (:

I really like this brush, especially for the price. It looks professional and neat, but the product doesn't apply too well in terms of how liquid product goes on your face. Would reccomend this for blushers/bronzers/highlighters. All in all, a good starter brush!

Collection Sheer Loose Powder Review

Collection Sheer Loose Powder Review

Went out and found this beauty at Superdrug for £2.99! Onto describing the product...

This is my first ever loose powder that I have bought with my own money, however I have used some before. When I took the lid of this, I'm going to be honest, I was confused. There was a protective lid over the holes that the product comes out of, and I had no clue how to get it off. It was a similar colour to where the holes were, so I couldn't see where the protective seal ended or started. It took me about 5 minutes to finally get it off - with a struggle. I then put the lid on again, shook it gently, and swooped up the colour with my Primark powder brush (review coming soon). I did want to get the transparent colour from this, as I wasn't certain that with two colours it would match my skin tone, but because it was sheer, I was fine. I put this over my BB cream using circular motions, concentrating on my T-Zone. My face looked really matte after using this, and I was really impressed by it. It stayed on my face all day, even at school! If there was one issue with it, that would be the awkwardness of carrying it around, but that's the same for all loose powders.

So my final verdict: Incredible loose powder, just a little bit hectic to open (then again that's probably just me...). Amazing deal for the price!

Foaming Face Wash Comparison

Foaming Face Wash

Simple Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser vs. Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash

The simple face wash comes in a nice, professional looking packaging. There is no particular smell to this, it just smells like a normal soap. It comes out as a white foam, and applies well to the face. It does a good job, and if you needed to, would even take off makeup (obviously not eye makeup). It left my face feeling very clean, and strangely 'matte'. I'm not sure why, but I liked how it felt.

The Boots face wash came in a clear bottle, very sterile looking, simple but effective. The smell of this was a lot stronger and smelt clean and refreshing. It comes out as a white foam again and applies just like the simple one. Again, it does a good job, removing any impurities from my skin. I rarely got massive breakouts with both of these, and yes, you could remove makeup with it. It felt matte again when I'd finished and I felt squeaky clean.

Winner: This was a really tough call, but I think the Boots one wins just from the smell. I'm not generally fussed about smells, but this one smells gorgeous and refreshing.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Lyrca Flex Mascara Review

 Rimmel London Scandaleyes Lyrca Flex Mascara Review

Want to start off by saying that the lid is dirty just because of the consistency of the product, so please try to excuse how messy the lid area is. 

Wow. This product is just wow. I absolutely am in LOVE with it! This is my holy grail mascara. 

Okay, now for the review. The packaging of the mascara is what drew me to it. Whilst it would put some people off, I think it is fun and interesting. It's a nice big bottle, it's obvious where it is in my makeup draw (which, given that I like it so much, is a great thing). The consistency is quite wet and thick, so it's why my lid's messy. Also, when you pull the wand it, a little trail of mascara is at the end of the wand, and you have to wipe it every time. I should wipe it on tissue, I know. I usually apply 1-2 coats of this, and have my eyelashes looking like a dream! They are separated, it holds the curl, no clumps! The only problem I have with it is the because the brush is so big, it's hard to get the lower lashes. 

Love, love, love!

Collection BB Cream Review

Collection 'BB Secrets' BB Cream Review

So this is a quick review on the Collection BB Cream. 

I got this BB cream in the colour 'Light', and as far as I am aware, it is the lightest colour. My skin colour is very pale and fair, so I always have to go for Ivory foundations or BB creams. This was pretty light, but not light enough. It also had pink/orange undertone. When I applied it to my face, I honestly looked like someone who's had a dodgy spray tan. Even when I blended it slightly into my neck, my face was orange and my neck was normal. It didn't give me much coverage, and looked very obvious over my spots. Although this was around £3, I feel like it's a waste of money as I can't use this at all. If anyone knows of any cheap, good foundations that are cool toned or nude toned, give me a shout! Feel like I'm in the dark :(

Overall this is a terrible product, really. I won't be repurchasing.
