Revlon Lip Butters and Acrylic Lipstick Holder Woo Hoo!

So... I finally went to my local Boots and got my hands on 6 of the new Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters.. They come in 14 colours in the UK..so I chose the ones I thought would suit me..


Peach Parfait, Creme Brulee, Cotton Candy, Cupcake, Lollipop, Strawberry Shortcake


They are much better in consistency than I anticipated and supprisingly pigmented..I adore the packaging which come in quilted style different coloured lids and clear names written on the bottom.  They really are very beautiful and have a very high end look about them. The formula is very creamy and luxurious to the touch. There is no apparent smell which I like actually as some lipsticks like maybelline are overpowering.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter can be worn with or without Lipliner. They claim to smooth, soften and instantly hydrated lips! RRP: £7.99 you can but them on Boots online by clicking on this link: http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-ColorBurst-8482-Lip-Butter_1252852/





I also bought myself a couple of 12 slot lipstick holders from ebay. I got a real bargain as got them for £3 each! and Ive seen them advertised for over £12 each so am really chuffed with my purchases. They are clear acrylic and very sturdy!.. Awesome!


Strawberry Shortcake: Pink with blue undertones

Lollipop: Rich dark pink bit rasberry`ish


Cupcake: Light cool toned pink shimmer

Creme Brulee: toffee sheer neutral with shimmer

Cotton Candy: Pink with gold shimmer

Peach Parfait: Peachy coral gold shimmer


Swatches without flash


Swatches with Flash
I wont be storing these near a sunny window however, as the butter like texture does have a tendency to melt. You do have to apply quite heavily and they don't last for a long time, But they are a combination of a gloss, balm and lipstick so this is understandable. I do like them.. Strawberry shortcake and Creme Brulee are my favourites!!.. And YES I did bloody well knock "Lollipop" on the corner of the lip hence the dent.. boohoo!

Coastal Scents Kabuki/Buffer Brush changes

I am devasted that Coastal Scents had stopped making my favourite kabuki brushes people..However they have come out with some great new ones.. but the large and mini domed kabuki are no more... boo hoo.

Left-Right Bionic Wide Buffer Flat Brush, Large Domed & Mini Domed Kabuki Brushes


The Coastal Scents Bionic Wide Buffer Flat Brush, Large Domed Kabuki and Mini Domed are incredibly dense and great quality for the money. Unfortunately they discontinued the flat one but I looked on www.coastalscents.com  today and they seem to have replaced it with Classic Kabuki Flat Synthetic which I must say looks awesome too..
Classic Kabuki Flat Synthetic
www.coastalscents.com have the most amazing brushes and a few are still on clearance.. The Large domed kabuki is on clearance for $7.48 (£4.73) and the mini domed kabuki is on at $2.98 (£1.88) which are a steal!!..ooh and also the Bionic Flat top buffer is on at $6.98 (£4.41) which is an amzing dupe for Sigma F80 brush but just a tiny bit looser.

Bionic Flat TopBuffer
 So go check them out they are so dense and packed tightly, good quality.. with really great offers all the time and fantastic shipping prices to the UK.

Got knotty Tangled hair.. check out Knots No More!

I don't know about you but I have always had a nightmare with knotty hair!.. Since I can remember I always had this issue, I remember my poor Mum having to comb out the tangles daily and my eyes streaming with tears. I have fine hair that tangles and knots easily. In fact most mornings I wake up with a dreadlock style massive knot at the back of my head that's been created from moving my head around in the night..( I'm a mover and a shaker in bed.. oooh lala )

I`ve tried everything going.. sooooo many detangling shampoo`s, leave in conditioners, sprays but nothing has ever really truely worked, until NOW... I recently was in Tesco and stumbled upon "Knots No More" detangler spray.. and all I can say is WOW... this stuff is a miracle..

There is a Detangling Shampoo in a no tears formula and a Detangling Spray which is a quick and easy leave in conditioner, that can also be used on dry hair. They also sell a cute butterfly shaped container with a comb built into the top and a little storage bit for your hair tags etc.. cute!..little girls would adore this. The products contain non allergenic fragrance and are sulphate and paraben free.




I usually put on the detangling spray onto my dry hair and leave it for 5 mins then gently comb out the knots using my blue wide tooth comb from Boots.. or I will do the same process after Ive come out the shower on wet hair.

I thoroughly recomend these products and they are available from Sainsburys and Tesco stores for only £2.99!

As promised the Earrings I made!

As promised I am showing you the earrings I made that are the same as Tanya Pixi2woo`s infamous ones!.. whatdya think?.. not bad ey!..I think they are so cute and Im wearing them every day hehe..
