Face of the Day #2

Today's face is pretty much my go to look for when I'm not in the mood to play around with an eyeshadow look... It's a classic kind of pin up look: the cat eye and the bold lip. In today's case I went for something a tad more toned down in the lip department with a Revlon lipstick in the shade Pink Pout which is a lovely lilac-pink. I am a huge big fan of the cat eye because any one can rock it and look great in it, it's a timeless and super versatile look!

REVIEW: Soap and Glory's SUPERCAT Eyeliner Pen.

Hey guys, I'm back today with a review for you all. This time it's going to be on a makeup product from Soap and Glory. I've never really delved into the cosmetics that they have to offer but whilst recently looking over their stand in Boots, I picked up the Supercat Eyeliner Pen. I've given it a go and now I'm going to share with my thoughts and opinions on it!

So, the packaging is pretty simple: it's sleek and stylish though nonetheless. The product itself is in the form of a felt-tip pen. As you can see, the thinner point is at the top of the nib and as it goes down it gets thicker. This therefore means the product is great for getting a nice thin kitten flick or a lovely thick cat eye depending on what you're into. It also means that you can easily get into between the lashes and avoid that strange white line between your liner and the lashes that you can spot when your eyes are open. 

Due to its style, this product is ideal for beginners. It's also great for on the go to as it doesn't require dunking into a pot to fill up on more product like the more traditional ink-pot liquid liners do. As I said, the fine tip end is great for thin lines and just allows you to be a lot more precise with what you are doing in general. 

The Supercat liner is also really nicely pigmented. The shade is 'Carbon Black' and while I don't think it is quite as intense as the name suggests, it's still rich in colour payoff. One of the things I love most about this product is that it dries really fast and it just won't budge from your eyelids or smudge. There's nothing worse than smudgy eyeliner when you want a defined, crisp finish. One of the minor issues I have with it is that it dries out in the nib fairly quickly in my opinion - meaning you have to press down on it a few times for more product to travel down into it. Other than that, I can't really find any other faults with this product.  

Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed with this product. I never generally get along with these felt tip liners, but this one I actually really do like. At £6, it's on the pricier side for a liner but considering it's so good for beginners and just anyone who wants to easily achieve an eyeliner look, I think it's worth it. So far, I haven't found a felt tip liner that I like as much as this so I think I'd be willing to buy this again for the price. I'd recommend you definitely give this a go if you're looking for a new liner. You can find this product from the Boots store or on their website here (currently on a 3 for 2 offer!). 

As always, thank you very much for reading this post and I hope that you found this review interesting and helpful. Have you tried the Supercat Liner from Soap and Glory? What did you think? Let me know!

Boots & Superdrug Haul!

Hey there! Recently I did just a teeny bit of shopping (ok, maybe more than a teeny bit but still!) and I thought I'd show what you I got. It's all beauty and skincare - most of the things I picked up I have never tried before either which is always interesting, hopefully I'm going to love them!

So, first of all I popped into Boots and got some beauty bits. They currently have a 2 for £10 deal on ALL Revlon cosmetics (check it out if you haven't already) and so I took advantage of this and got 2 lipsticks from their Super Lustrous range. The first I picked up in the shade 002 Pink Pout and the second was in the shade 663 Va Va Violet which I am particularly excited to try.

I also headed over to the Maybelline stand and they had a buy 1 get 1 half price deal - you see, it's really the shop's fault that I spend so much... Anyway, from there I got their new 'Matte Maker' face powder. They didn't appear to have much of a shade range, nor did they have a translucent as far as I could see so I just got the lightest shade. 

From Maybelline, I got their Brow Drama brow mascara as well - I've tried clear brow gels but nothing like this and so I was quite intrigued about this product. I got this in the shade Dark Brown.

From the Soap and Glory stand I picked up one of their makeup products. I've never really delved into what S & G have to offer in terms of cosmetics and I was particularly interested in an eyeliner products. And so with that, I picked up their super cat eyeliner which is a liquid liner in a felt tip form.

Lastly from Boots, I picked up this Charles Worthington hair mask. My hair has been feeling kind of dry lately and so I wanted something to bring some more moisture and softness into it. I have actually see blogger and Youtuber MissBudgetBeauty talk about this product a lot and so I thought I'd give it a go.

Now, onto Superdrug! I firstly picked up some mattifying sheets - perfect for this hot, sunny weather when you want to remove some of that nasty oil build up on your face. 

I then got some coconut oil - this I have tried before but it was in a different form. I have tried the organic coconut oil which you'd predominantly find in supermarkets because you can cook with it. This is hydrogenated and lightly fragranced but so far it still has the cosmetic qualities that I got it for and it is gentle on my very sensitive skin. It's a natural, multi-purpose product and if you haven't already, I would definitely try it out for yourself. 

Finally, I got some eye care products from Simple. I really love Simple because all of their products have gentle formulations that are perfect for even sensitive skin and not to mention, their products are super cheap. I picked up an eye roll on and an eye balm - looking after the area around your eyes is very important - it's going to help to eliminate signs of aging but to also care for them as they are very sensitive.

And that's my haul complete! I hope you liked this post and maybe found some products you might want to try for yourself. 

REVIEW: Soap and Glory's Peaches and Clean.

Hello! Today I've got a review for you on Soap and Glory's Peaches and Clean cleanser. This product is a 3 in 1 purifying, wash-off cleanser and it contains ingredients that help to increase circulation and fight ageing. It is also rich in both antioxidants and vitamins.

The first thing that interested me about this cleanser was its consistency. It's basically like a moisturiser which I found quite strange. It doesn't really foam up very much when you apply it to your face but it does still apply nicely.

It has a pleasant smell and doesn't cause any irritation to any areas of my face. This is good as I tend to have quite sensitive skin. I use this as more or less a normal face wash and what I like most is that it does indeed make my skin feel and look cleaner, but it also makes me skin feel as if it has been moisturised. It leaves my face feeling soft and smooth - unlike some face washes that can leave the skin feeling fairly dry.

From previous reviews I have read and from my own experience, this product could have multiple uses. As I said it washes and cleanses the face nicely but also moisturises it. This I think is a really good feature of the product because you're getting more than one product in one.

Overall, I like this cleanser and I think it is worth the try. I personally love Soap and Glory products and this one is no exception to that.

Have you tried Peaches and Clean? What do you think?
