Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Moisturiser Review

Hiya everyone,this is the newest product from Neutrongena in the UK at the moment. There has been a lot of hype around the pink grapefruit range and I thought I might as well try it out since i was running out of my other moisturiser.


Pros
* It smells amazing and very fresh
* Very compact and small, so easy to travel around with it
* Easy to apply
* Leaves skin feeling soft and well moisturised

Cons
* Only 50ml so not a lot of product
* Need a lot of product to cover one area
* Takes a while to sink in

Bad Point
**However i did find that either the facial cream or the moisturiser caused my skin to breakout even more and made my skin dry

Bourjois Black Jack Range

Bourjois has just released a mini range called Black Jack.The Black Jack range only consists of two products, a mascara and a shimmer mist. Hopefully they might extend the range one day if the products sell. However I went into town today and saw that they have released a limted edition of the chocolate bronzer in the same packaging as the Black Jack range.

Anyway as I said, the range has only two products,the mascara (Black Jack Volume Clubbing Mascara) and the shimmer mist(Golden Shimmer Mist). The volume clubbing mascara is an intense black with subtle golden tints which makes it more interesting than a normal black mascara. Also it provides 10 times volume to lashes and no clumps(we hope).

The golden shimmer mist is a new type of product for bourjois I think. As by the name of the product, the mist will contain golden shimmer which is perfect for summer and can be used on the body and on hair.

Both the mascara and the shimmer mist will come in a golden shiny packaging with black writing (love it). The mascara is £7.99 and the shimmer mist is £5.99, so not bad on price. I might have a try at these two products especially the shimmer mist. Both available now in boots and superdrug.

Free 7 Day Trial Sample Of YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat

I think you can guess what this post is going to be about from the title, you can get a free 7 day trial sample of the new Yves Saint Laurent or YSL foundation. This foundation is highly recommended by all the beauty bloggers and beauty gurus on youtube. Everyone is commenting on how the foundation is perfect and a long time coming. YSL released their touche eclat highlighting/concealer pen years ago and it was about time they released a foundation just like the concealer pen.

The Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation was released about a month ago, so still pretty new on the beauty market. However it is £28 per bottle, which is very expensive. For that amount of money for a foundation, I would like to at least either read reviews or try it out for myself before purchasing.


Now then, for the best part of this post, is that you can get a free 7 day trial sample from YSL of this foundation. I think you can go to any YSL counter in any shop and claim the sample and I will leave the link below to the website. You will need to print a page out saying you can claim the sample and just hand it into a YSL counter. Lastly you can get your free sample on the 21st July 2012 and it does depend on how quickly the samples go. Thats all you need to do to try out the Le Teint Touche Eclat foundation for 7 days.

Barry M Nail Paint 337 Pink Silver Glitter


Barry M has recently launched new nail paints and this is one of them.There were about three or four new nail paints but this one caught my eye.
If you love pink or silver and love glitter, then this is perfect for you. Thats because this nail paint is full of pink and silver glitter particules. The glitter is micro which means you will not get patchy glitter all over your nails but an even application of glitter. The application is quite sheer, so for the full effect then you will need two or three coats and the texture is quite rough feeling. Like the feeling of putting glitter on your nails, its not the smooth texture you would feel for a non glitter nail polish.

For me, the nail paint started to chip off after two days but thats because I do a lot of typing for work. So for other people, it might take longer to chip off. It didnt last long for me and I also used a top coat to protect the nail paint to make it last longer but obviously it didnt work.



You do get 10ml or 0.35 fl oz which is quite good for £2.99. You can get this nail paint from Superdrug and Boots now. I will leave links below for boots and superdrug online.

Pink Diamante Heart Necklace - New Look

I was around my friend's house last week and I saw she was wearing this necklace. It caught my eye and could not stop looking at it because it is soo beautiful and something that I havent got in my collection of necklaces. I asked her where she got the necklace from and she said New Look.

I love New Look and I went into my local New Look store and found this necklace. I was over the moon I found it and I have literally fallen in love with it. Its a heart with different coloured diamantes such as pinks, purples, whites, blues, golds and muticoloured. The other side is just hollow but wow what an amazing, pretty and beautiful necklace and it looks very summery and very in season.

I have covered the diamantes with clear nail varnish to try and keep the diamantes on the necklace and stop them from falling off. The clear nail varnish does not affect the colour or anything to the necklace, it just protects the diamantes.

The necklace costs £4.99 and can get it online or instore in New Look.
