Superdrug to Launch an exclusive Impulse fragrance!!

Ok, so i have just found this out and impulse are going to be releasing a new frangrance into their collection. However this new frangrance will only be launched in Superdrug. This means that the only place you can purchase this frangrance is in Superdrug. Dont try Boots, Asda and all the other shops that sells them because they will not stock this because it is an exclusive product for Superdrug.

The name of this new frangrance is called Loving words.Also this new frangrance will come in the normal impulse bottle but the colours will be centered around bright colours. On the bottle, it has a bright Turquoise colour and this is the main colour on the bottle. Then it has bright pink and purple to make it more appealing and eye catching for when we walk past the shelf.



Superdrug will be doing an introductory price which means the new impulse frangrance can be bought at £1.19 until 28th September. After this date, the price will go up to £1.99. Thats a pretty big jump in prices, so to save some money, buy it before 28th September. The product will be launched in September.

Lush Demo - The Comforter

Hiya everyone, so this is going to be a youtube video post. I have just put this video onto my youtube channel which is Laurensmart1993. I have done another post on the comforter that i did ages ago. I think it tells you how to use the comforter in writing, but i thought i might as well do a video one to actually show you what happens to the comforter when it meets warm/hot water.


In this video you will see my hand moving away from the tap quickly, i sort of made the mistake in by letting the water go really hot before crumbling the product. That is not a good idea so i recommened anyone to crumble the product when the water is warm and not hot.

I hope you like this video and please sub to my youtube channel and follow my blog :)

Sleek Med 1 Look - Purple, Pink, Blue and Green

Hiya everyone, so i did this eye make-up tutorial on youtube not so long ago, and i thought i might as well write one as a post as well with pictures. This eye make-up look is really easy to do and all you need is either the sleek Med palette or any purple, pink, blue and green eyeshadows. I used sigma brushes to apply the eyeshadows but you can use any brushes because they all do the same thing. All you need are the eyeshadows, brushes, primer and a mirror to complete this look.



Ok, so the first thing you need to do is too prime your eyelids. This will keep the eyeshadow on your eyelids all day and will make the colours pop. I used the Urban Decay primer potion in orginal. Then i took the sigma short shader brush and applied the purple all over my lids. The purple is called Lotus Flower.


After i applied Lotus flower. I then took a small brush (Unbranded) and took the Mid toned blue from the palette and applied it from the middle to the outer corner of my eyelids. The blue colour is called Humming Bird. Take any blending brush. I used the revlon contour brush and blended out any harsh lines between the purple and the blue colours.


Then take a Hot pink colour and apply this to the outer v and to the crease. Be sure not to go up to far from the outer v. I applied this Hot pink with the sigma E25 but you can use any blending brush you have. The hot pink is called Magenta Madness (Love the names of these eyeshadows).


Take another blending brush but it has to be a clean one. I took the Sigma E35 and applied a green colour into the crease next to the pink. The green is called Kiwi Zest. Take the same blending brush you used to blend the blue and the purple and blend the pink and green together. Then go over the whole eye to make sure their is no harsh lines.

Then take a white/cream colour eyeshadow and apply this under the brow bone. I used my fingers but you can use a brush if you wanted to.

Apply eyeliner and mascara to complete the eye make-up. Then i took the sigma F10 to apply the blush. I used a really hot pink blush from sleek called santorini and applied it to my cheeks. Then to complete the whole look, i used the pout polish by sleek called Monte Carlo which is also another hot pink colour.

 It is pretty simple to do and you can use any type of eyeshadows, blush etc to complete your look. I hope i explained it alright, if not then i will leave a link on the video i did for this look on my youtube channel. I hope you found this useful and there will be plenty of more posts coming your way very soon.

Waiting for Sigma Brushes!!

Hiya everyone, so as you can see by the title of this post, that i am waiting for a set of sigma brushes to arrive at my house. Sigma is apparently very good for their brushes, so i ordered a set of them. However i did not buy them, i got them for free!

Well sort of free. There is this website called Luuux. Basically luuux is a like a blog website. But when you post a blog on the website you gain luuuxs. You get 7 luuux per post but you can get more luuux by ratng, commenting etc. When you gained enough points you can spend them in their shop. They have ipads, new ipod touchs and new ipod nanos. They have a mixture of items for both women and men.

In their shop they have two sets of sigma brushes. One is called Sigma Premium Professional Kit with Brush Roll. The other one is called sigma complete kit or something like that . The premium one costs 7,440 luuuxs and the other one costs like 5,000 luuuxs. I had enough to get the premium one. I ordered it about two weeks and the first week it said that the payment was received. After a week the order status said that it was processing. Meaning that the people are looking at how i got those points, then it said completed which means that everything is fine and it is being shipped out to the UK.

It has been a week after that now, i really really want them because i have got some make-up looks i am wanting to try out but i do not want to use my old crap brushes. These looks are going to be on my youtube channel in the future. I am really impatient and want them now.
This picture is the brushes i will hopefully will be getting very soon :)

And luuux is free to sign up and i am getting the sigma brushes for free, so i do recommend anyone who wants free sigma brushes to go onto luuux. However it does take a long time to get the points up. Took me 3 months to get them points but it will be worth it.

Review - Lush Comforter

Ok, so a little while ago, i went into the Lush shop where i live. I looked around the shop and i saw the comforter. I have had soo many reviews about this product. I think the comforter has to be one of the most popular item in Lush.

Basically the comforter is a bubble bar. A bubble bar comes in a solid form but when you put it in your bath it turns to buubles and make a lovely scent. Apparently the comforter is the biggest bubble bar you can get in Lush at the moment. The shape of the comforter is different on where you live in the world. In the US, their bubble bars are a square shape. However the UK's bubble bars are shaped into a circle. I do not know why they do that but i dont mind either way really. Does the same thing even though they are in different shapes.

The comforter smells amazing. The scent is blackcurrents which i love. You will not stop sniffing it when you buy it, trust me :). Anyway The comforter is pink and white and has like swirls in the bar. Swirls of pink and white which makes it so cute. When you use it. Cut it up into four pieces because if you put the whole bar in, you will get tons, i mean tons and tons of bubbles. So only one quarter of it is fine. The bar is easy to cut up when you want to use it.You can get four baths out of one comforter bar. Not bad.

Ok, so to use it, all you do is crumble it under running water. It will instantly start to make bubbles. When you have crumbled all of the product, mix the water up even more by moving your hand side to side in the water. This will create even more bubbles. The water will turn a nice shade of pink which is always nice when having a bath. Also with this bar you get tons of white bubbles which is nice to relax in. The smell is amazing, nice blackcurrent smell coming off the water.


After you had the bath, it makes your skin smell like blackcurrents and make your skin so soft. I really do recommend anyone to go and try and buy this bar from Lush. This costs £3.99 for 200g. Not bad. I hope you like my long review of The comforter by Lush.

Update, Start Again, Youtube, College

Hello everyone, i know i have not blogged in a long time. Thats because i have been concentrating on my youtube channel. I started making my youtube channel i think it was either october or november last year(2010). I have put all my effort into starting that up and trying to make it a success.

My youtube channel i have been doing it a while now. I am doing alright with it. However i do wish it was a little better. I have got 83 subs and 4,102 video views which is not bad. But it is not that good. It is slowly getting better but i do enjoy doing videos and people talking to me over youtube. I hope youtube will be a success. I need more subs, so if you would like to see my channel and sub then this is the link - http://www.youtube.com/user/laurensmart1993?feature=mhum

On youtube i do beauty related videos. I do Hauls, Reviews, Tags, General chit chat, New upcomign products and tutorials. I have to say that my tutorials are not the best because i have sort of just started getting into make-up properly and i have not got the best brushes in the world. I am not creative but i do try to be. I am trying my best with youtube and it is sort of paying off.

Apart from youtube, i have started a lot harder course than last year. I am currently doing the BTEC National extended diploma in Business which is very hard. Sort of regret doing this course but oh well, cant give up after a hard week which was last week. I have currently got two jobs as well. So i do not have a lot of time.

But i hope to get this blog started again. Please follow me because i do not want to do a blog if people do not follow because it is a waste of time. Thanks for reading this.
