St Moriz Now at Tesco!

Published on: Sunday, August 07, 2011 by Dani B - 4 comments

This is just a heads up for all you St Moriz lovers out there...

Tesco now stock St Moriz - saves you heading into town right?

Given the absolutely RUBBISH summer we are once again having I am sure, like me, most of you are rocking some sort of fake tan. Personally I am a lover of HeShi, but that's another story (here and here).

Apparently the tan is on offer until 30th August 2011 in the following terms:-

St. Moriz Self Tanning Mousse Medium (Introductory price of £3.99 - RRP £4.99)

St. Moriz Self Tanning Mousse Dark (Introductory price of £3.99 - RRP £4.99)
St. Moriz Self Tanning Lotion (Introductory price of £3.99 - RRP £4.99)

Happy supermarket shopping tanners!

EOTD - Purple Times ♥

Hi All,

Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

So here's a pretty simple look I wore on my eyes today that I wanted to share with you...

I don't know if any of you have the NYX Makeup Box but let me tell you - it's fab. There are so many fabulous, well pigmented colours you can choose for your eyes (as well as blush and lipgloss).

I used the top 3 colours on the palette from left to right. Not in that order though. I used white all over, then the pale pink on the outer 2/3's of the lid and then used the purple on the crease.

I think it's a really cute every day look that still has a little oomph without being too made up. I like the burst of colour it creates, especially with my green eyes - the two seem to compliment each other.

Anyway, if you want to have a full look at the NYX makeup box you can here - I've been loving using it since I picked it up at IMATs in London at the beginning of the year. It costs £19.95 to purchase and is totally worth it.

Definitely going to try and use this box more adventourously as I tend to stick to same colours (does anyone else do this??) and I am therefore not making the most of it!!

Hope you like the look anyway!

MUFE Face and Body Foundation Re-discovery

Published on: Saturday, August 06, 2011 by Dani B - 4 comments

So recently I re-discovered my MUFE Face and Body Foundation. And I was surprised. I don't know if it is the time of year or something but I now love this product.

Which is odd because although I loved it when I purchased it at IMATs London, I didn't like it when I got home and just found it to be too sheer.

Now I love how sheer it is. Which makes me think it could be the time of year. I think in winter I probably need a little more coverage whereas in summer my skin is a little healthier so I don't need as heavy a product.

Here's what it looks like on...

As I said it's pretty sheer! But I really like that - it feels sooooooo lightweight on my face and lets your actual skin show through whilst evening the tone and smoothing it out.

I remember before purchasing this I saw a couple of girls used it and applied it with a big foundation brush. I don't. I use it with the cosmopolitan foundation sponge and swirl on, or my fingers. As the texture is so runny it makes fora really blendable product, which means you don't use too much which saves on the pennies in the long run!!

In short - I love this foundation and can totally tell why others do.

Have any of you tried it?? I've also included my July Favourites video link so that you can see what it looks like on in the flesh as I am wearing it there too.

Sudocrem Skincare Cream

Ahhhh you got to love a bit of Sudocrem. I can't remember a time in my life when I have not had this in my drawer!!

I used to use this a lot on my skin when I had lots of teenage spots, but these days I use it when my skin is dry, cracked or looking a bit uneven.

You can see that it's pretty thick in consistency but it will rub in. It looks scary if you put it all over your face though as it turns you white haha! But it is good for evening out my skin.

So I am super chuffed that you can now carry it around with you in a tube rather than in the massive tub. It's a little tough to squeeze it out at first but then it does come out and it's all good!!

It's so much better now that you can carry it around with you in your handbag and to celebrate this fact you can actually go on facebook and use their Sudocrem Bagology Facebook App and work out what you handbag says about you!!

Anyone else been using these new tubes??

Sleek Lipstick in Shade Liqueur

Published on: Tuesday, August 02, 2011 by Dani B - 5 comments

So you remember last week when I purchased a couple of beauty products, well one of them was a pretty Sleek Lipstick in shade Liquer. I love that word so it was only natural that I picked it up.

Thankfully it was a gorgeous colour too.

So you can appreciate what I am referring to - here are some of my usual lipstick pictures for your viewing pleasure.
