No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush Review!

Today I bought the No7 Cleansing Brush, I was given the heads up by Mandi at the No7 Makeup counter at my local Boots store that they would be having the stock in today (Wednesday) and that they are on a promotional price of £15 instead of £25...

I bought it this morning and I had a voucher for £5 off No7 Beauty Products & £3 of No7 Makeup.

I didn't think the voucher would work but Mandi put it through the till and Bingo! £5 Off! so I got a great Bargain for £10 Whoop! Whoop!

I've heard on the grapevine that this is a  kinda Dupe for the Clarisonic except the bristles rotate all the way around instead of osscilating from side to side...

I've never tested the Clarisonic as I would never fork out the price for it as it's not on my budget!

No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush. ( 2 AA Batteries Included )

I've given the No7 Cleansing Brush a try and it does pull on the facial skin a touch as it keeps spinning in the one direction! When I applied it to my face the cleanser flicked into my eye so I had to stop to wipe it out so be careful when cleansing with this facial brush,  I've got to get into the swing of cleansing with this as I've been using the Botanics Cleansing brush which is done by hand, No batteries Included!  It has 2 speeds, Press the power button twice to increase the brush speed and get a deeper clean. I only used it on the first setting, press power button once as I have sensitive skin and I felt that it was gentler to my face...

I highly recommend buying this Cleansing Brush as I found it a Bargain price and does a great job!

The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara by Maybelline

Firstly, I must apologise for not posting on my blog for a very long time, Real life took over and I didn't have time to sit down nevermind blog   (Boo! Hiss!!)

Secondly, Hope you had a fabulous Christmas and Happy New year 2013 is here, It's the 2nd of January and I've got a 2012 Favourites coming up, There's quite a few products so be prepared!!!

My first beauty purchase of 2013 is Maybelline's The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara in Black. £7.99 (9.6ml)   I didn't think I would get hold of this in the UK as I thought it was only released in the USA recently,  I was under the impression that it would be released in the UK in February but I found it in my local Superdrug Yay!!


I totally Love this Mascara and highly recommend it to anyone who loves full long lashes.

I compared it to my other new-ish mascara by Maybelline,  the Falsies Volum' Express FLARED Mascara. £7.99 (10.6ml)

The brush bristles on the Rocket mascara are spikey and it has a thicker wand, Maybelline call it a Supersonic brush wand.

I love the effect that the Rocket mascara gave my lashes, it coated all my lashes and kept a lovely curl, even coated all the small lash hairs on the bottom ones.. One downside is that the bristles can dig into the tightline on the top lash line and they can hurt a little, don't know if this is a design flaw as I've never had a mascara wand hurt before...

I made one eye up with the Rocket Volum' mascara and the other eye with the Falsies Flared Mascara,  I asked my Boyf which eye looked better ( in a man's opinion) and he said the Rocket Volum' mascara one by a mile as it looked more separated and curled !  (blog is a bit image heavy & Excuse my redness on my cheeks as I had just cleansed my skin but not my eye makeup yet)

I still love the Falsies Flared but it is drying out a little and clumping after 2 coats, so By far the winner is The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara! YAY!! Go Maybelline!!!

Help!! I think I'm Addicted to MUA Cosmetics!!

Help!! I think I need therapy for my addiction to MUA cosmetics!!!

They're just so affordable and such quality products that I just can't say no!!!

I had a package delivered with new MUA products in it and I was over the moon!!! I received my 3 Free products and I love them all!!

( I blogged about the Magnetic glitter nails here)http://pinkhairbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/mua-glitter-magnetic-nail-polish-review.html

I highly recommend MUA cosmetics and If you love bargain prices and great fashionable cosmetics you should definitely buy some from your local Superdrug Store, I visit Superdrug at least once a week to check up on the latest MUA products as they release items regularly so keep an eye on the website, here's the link http://muacosmetics.blogspot.co.uk/

MUA Glitter Magnetic nail polish Review!

I Love this nail polish!!!! I bought the colour Piccadilly Circus from the MUA website http://www.muastore.co.uk/  I think that they're on sale from 31st of October and they cost £3, I paid £13 for a load of MUA products and I got 3 free gifts with my order of anything over £10.

I love this colour nail polish and the circles are easy to make on the nail. I've honestly paid a lot of money for different brand named Magnetic nail polishes in the past and not 1 of them even comes close to the ease of use and the effect of MUA Glitter Magnetic nail polish!!

I am going to buy them all, in every colour they have available, here's a link to all the other colours.

Boots No7 Skincare and Cosmetic/Makeup deals!

Yesterday I had spent over £5 in my Local Boots store and received a coupon with £5 off No7 skincare products and £3 off  No7 Cosmetics also In-store at Boots at the moment is a 3for2 deal on most No7 products!

(Hope you are keeping up with me?)

So Basically I bought One pack of Beautiful skin Quick Thinking facial wipes (£7) from the Beauty section and 2 nail polishes (£5.50 each) worth £18 and I used my coupons with the 3for2 deal and got them for £4.50...( Hurrah!!)

(The detail: The offer excludes gift sets, electrical beauty, beauty services, gifts marked with the green Christmas stickers and reduced-price items. Also, only one voucher can be redeemed per item.)

Of course you don't have to buy the facial wipes and nail polishes, they were the cheapest I could find at the time and I wanted to update my nail polish collection with the latest seasons colours!

To get this to work (You must buy at least one skincare item and one make-up item. As make-up's much cheaper than skincare, picking two make-up items and one skincare will maximise the 3for2 saving.)

To ensure the saving is big stick to the one skincare, two make-up items rule; and ensure the cheapest item isn't far cheaper than the next dearest. It's best to get the things you are missing out of your make-up kit rather than items you don't need just because it's the cheapest option.

NEW No7 Foundation Match Made Service!

I was so excited when I saw the Lisa Eldridge No7 Foundation Match Made Service video promotion, I had to go to my Local Boots Store and give it a go!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MU03P6YVGwY

The No7 Assistant Mandi was so helpful and she was really excited about the new device which takes 27 photographs each time it clicks on 2 separate parts of the facial skin, I had my jaw line cleansed and checked with the device and it was so quick my results were Cool Ivory, Mandi the Assistant massaged in the Instant Radiance Foundation which melted away into my skin and disappeared into my face without any notice of it!  So now I can concentrate on the new Foundation Ranges which Lisa has helped develop for No7 in the exact colour match to my skin. I can choose Cool Ivory in all the ranges of foundations which include BB creams, Instant Radiance, Essentially Natural, Beautifully Matte, Lift & Luminate etc...
http://www.boots.com/en/No-7/No7-Make-up/No7-Foundation/

I had a good look and was getting advice from Mandi and the Skin assessment leaflet which helps you pick which coverage and finish you would like from a foundation.

I chose the Instant Radiance which gives dull skin a healthy glow and contains SPF15. I wanted a healthy glow and to pep up my skin and because my skin is dry the Instant Radiance will be gentle enough not to make my skin sting and be flakey from any skin that usually becomes dry from the applying foundation to my face.

No7 Instant Radiance Foundation SPF15 30ml  £12.95 RRP

No7 Instant Radiance Foundation Tester

Instant Radiance Foundation blended into skin.

Skin Assessment leaflet & No7 Instant Radiance Foundation

I got home and tried my new foundation out and I absolutely LOVE it!!!! The effect it gives the skin is medium coverage with a natural radiant finish. I highly recommend buying it and I paid £9.95 for 30ml because I had a No7 voucher which entitles you to £3 off  make-up or £5 off No7 skincare products.

Get to Boots and try the No7 Foundation Match Made Service ASAP!! You will not regret it! (hope not!)

Tesco Vitamin E Range Review

I have been addicted to buying lipsticks and lipglosses of late and I'll try to do a post with all of them in, I have been buying old classic colours and new glosses out on the budget market, But here's a review of 3 products I bought from my local Tesco Extra Store which is the "New Vitamin E Range"

Vitamin E (L-R) Eye cream, Illuminating Lotion & Moisture Cream

Vitamin E (L-R) Eye cream, Illuminating Lotion & Moisture Cream(with Flash) 

Vitamin E Eye Cream SPF15

Vitamin E Moisture Cream SPF15

Vitamin E Illuminating Lotion SPF15 (without Flash)

Vitamin Illuminating Lotion SPF15 rubbed into skin

Vitamin E Illuminating lotion SPF15 (with Flash)

honest opinion and I can't say I like any of them apart from the Illuminating Lotion, I can only apply a small amount of any of these creams/lotion to my skin as my eyes sting for England!!

 I feel that someone else may Love these products but myself, I cannot! If it stings or has a strong scent I am not even going there!!!!

I bought these for a bargain price of £1.66 each but I thought that if they are for the face that they would be fine to use but they're too strong for my skin and the scent is over powering.

I was impressed with the SPF15 and the Illuminating lotion is nice and shimmery on the skin but I will only use it on the skin on my body and not on my face as My eyes stream and sting so bad I have to wash it all off  and put cold compresses on my eyes!! I may be the only one who is having this reaction but all I can say is You can only try and see!
