L'oreal Extraordinaire Color Riche Liquid Lipsticks





Let's talk these newly launched L'oreal Extraordinaire Color Riche liquid lipsticks. After seeing these gorgeous lip products advertised on TV, and reading countless good reviews, being the confessed lipstick addict that I am I got sucked in and knew I had to give these a try myself.

These beautiful liquid lipsticks are described as a 'new generation of lip colour' containing a fusion of precious oils combined with intense pigments giving the lips vibrant colour pay off like a lipstick, magnified shine of a gloss! Whilst smoothing the lips like a lip balm. This 3 in 1 product Sounds like every lipstick lovers dream right!

L'oreal Extraordinaire are available in 9 shades here in the UK. 
My picks were..

601- Nude Ballet

A classy nude colour that would look flattering on almost any skin tone. A lovely natural everyday shade.

201- Rose Symphony

A stunning pink rose shade with a subtle amount of gold shimmer running through!
Perfect shade for spring/summer months!

304- Ruby Opera

A sophisticated deep ruby red with amazing colour pay off, perfect for rocking that red lip look daytime or evening! 


I've been absolutley loving these lippy's! They are so lightweight and wearable for the summer months without being drying, you can genuinely feel the oil based formula moisturising your lips whilst your wearing it which is lovely! They apply quite thick, the colours are so rich and creamy, yet with that not too sticky on the lips. The scent I would say is somewhere between fruity and floral which personally I like though some people may find it a little over powering. 

The sleek gold packaging is pretty posh looking for a drugstore lipstick, which was probably another aspect that dragged me in with these! There is a little display of the contents colour on the side and base of the tube which could come in pretty handy with storage and picking out your colour preference. The applicator is a sort of curved tear drop shaped soft fluffy wand that picks up plenty of product.

I got my L'oreal Extrodinaire Liquid Lipsticks from Boots they have a 3 for 2 offer on at the minute so at £8.99 each I bagged a bargin on the 3 tempting me to get all 9! 

Have you tried any of the L'oreal Extraordinare Color Riche Liquid Lippys? 
What did you think?

Soap & Glory - The Breakfast Scrub Review


Morning all!
 
After weeks of countless strolls through the Soap & Glory isle at boots just to get a sniff of this stuff, I finally caved and purchased it! I will admit I did buy this product mainly because of it's 'heaven scent' I figured if my showers could smell this good this product would already be on a win! Before we even get to the 'nitty gritty' im in a funny mood this morning please excuse! Though I do have faith judging by my previous Soap & Glory purchases that this product wouldn't let me down.

The Breakfast Scrub is part of Soap & Glory's Award Winning Smoothie Star range and this 300ml tub retails for £8.00. The scrub contains oat, shea butter and sugar body smoother with organic cupuacu bio scrubs, bananas, almond and honey extract. I guess this kind of explains its yummy scent! The scent is described as 'maple' and reminds me of straight up American pancakes drowned in maple syrup! its Lushous! As temping as it gets DO NOT EAT this product as I imagine it doesnt taste as good as it smells. 

How I use; Firstly fake tan lovers! I would highly reccomend this scrub for prepping your skin before applying your tan, it will remove any rough skin that causes patchiness and doesn't contain any oil, yet it leaves the skin looking perfectly polished after use, Winner!
Whilst in the shower I scoop out a generous amount in to my hand, rub them together then gently work it over my damp skin in circular motions. The consistancy is pretty thick and gritty to begin with but is pretty easy to work with when applied.
 
Whilst applying you can really feel the Shea butter and sugar smoothing your skin which is lovely! My hands and skin felt so silky after it was all rinsed off and my skin looked amazing! Another plus for this product is it's not as harsh and abrasive on the skin as some exvoliaters I have used in the past which is perfect for those with sensitive skin. The scent  sticks around which was what i was hoping for, it does get a little more mild after rinsing it off which is expected when using any shower products
but the milder scent deffinatly lingered around on my skin for a long while afterwards.

This was the first tub of The Breakfast Scrub i have tried and i must say its my favourite Soap & Glory product to date! i will deffinatly be repurchasing.
 
What are your Soap & Glory faves?
i would love to hear your recomendations,
Also if you have tried this i would love to hear what you thought?
 
Have a lovely weekend!

#OOTD | A Little Lace Goes A Long Way



Sunshine seems to be making a regular appearance in Wales lately, which is lovely! Not only does this mean keeping my tan topped up from holiday but getting great use out of the clothes I took too! Summer is all about bright pops of colour for me and this outfit is all over that!

Firstly let's talk the pop of colour itself, This Orange high neck ribbed crop top I bought from Riverisland is perfect! adding brightness to any outfit for summer and looks lovely dressed up or down for daytime or evening. I believe RiverIsland also stock this style in White, Black and Yellow too. The statement necklace I am wearing is also from Riverisland. I'm all for bold statement necklaces at the minute I feel they can really pull together an outfit and this one does just that. My watch is Micheal Kors Gold plated bracelet watch i love it so much I wear it daily so its likely to be in most of my OOTD's i had mine as a gift for christmas from earnest jones which i will link below for you.

I love almost anything lace when it comes to clothing pieces all year around, they always look so feminine and pretty! Needless to say this Cream lace skirt sold me instantly whilst having a holiday shop in H&M around a month ago. It was just there screaming out 'buy me!' So I had to. This material is ideal for the summer particularly because it's lovely and light wearing. As you can see in the pictures the skirt is layered, the bottom layer being a light stretchy polyester material and the top layer being the beautiful floral patterned lace, i believe H&M have the exact same one in Black both being such versatile colours you can pair them with almost anything!

Lastly my summer is never complete without a pair of sparkly sandles! It's like a religion of mine! And this year I was on a win.. I literally felt like I had looked everywhere in stores and online for what I wanted and couldn't find the perfect pair. I then came across tanyalee boutique through twitter @tanyaleexxx and my search stopped there! oh my goodness they sell everything from fashion accessories to bikinis and I was spoilt for choice with thier sandles! I will link the website below for you girls it's deffinatly worth checking out. Finally after a huge debate on what pair to get I chose the ones pictured and I love them! I will never be stuck for pretty sandles again:)
