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.

Review - Simple Skincare

Hi everyone, this next post is a review on the simple skincare products i recently got and is in my previous skincare haul. I will be reviewing the kind to skin smoothing facial scrub, kind to skin replenishing rich moisturiser and kind to skin moisturising facial wash. Lets gets started...

The first product i will be reviewing is the kind to skin smoothing facial scrub. Bascially this product is a facial scrub and is meant to remove dead skin cells which is good to get good skin. I have used this a couple of times.It comes in a plastic bottle and it squirts out. When i opened it, i could not smell the product because their was no scent to it and that is the way it is meant to be. I like having a bit of a smell in products like this for some reason, so i was ok with having no scent to it. When i squeezed a bit on my palm, i rubbed it around in my palm and there is def little scrub balls in there. There was a lot of scrub balls which is a good thing because at least you know that there is little scrub balls in there and will remove dead skin cells. When i put it on my face, i could not spread it around because it would not let me. So you have to work quiet hard to move it around but it does work. It didnt leave my skin feeling dry and tight, it felt really nice afterwards. So thats a good product to have.



The next product is the kind to skin moisturising facial wash. This is a basic wash for the face. It is meant to clean the skin. This product also comes in a plastic bottle and it squirts out. When i first open this product, there was a slight smell to the product which is nice because the smell is not overpowering. It is just a nice smell to have. When i put it in my palm, the colour was clear like a gel but it wasnt a gel. I am used to white coloured face washs, so it was a bit strange. When i put it on my face, it was a bit difficult again but soon it got easier and it lathers on the face alright. So this is another good product from simple.

The last product is the kind to skin replenishing rich moisturiser. This is basically a moisturiser but richer than normal ones because they did have normal moisturisers but i wanted this one because my skin can become dry in some places. The product comes in a box with the name on it. Then i took it out of the box, it comes in a plastic bottles like the others. To get product out of the bottle, you have to squeeze it hard to get it out. When it comes out, the colour is white and is sort of a liquid. when put it on the face, it is easy to apply and is very blendable. It feels really nice on the skin, doesnt make it too heavy, its quite light which is nice. Also after 10 mins or so, it sinks in and you can feel it and is completey dry, so that good when you want to apply make-up or want to go to sleep.  
Overall these three simple skincare products are good, some of them have bad points but can easily get around them. These are good skincare products and i would recommend them to anyone and they are super cheap. Also it is sold around the uk, i dont know about other parts of the world. Thanks for reading this post, any suggestions on what i can review, please leave a comment to any of my posts i have done, Thanks

Simple Skincare Haul

This is a haul on the skincare brand called simple. I bought these the same time i bought my make-up products in my last haul. I didnt want to put it in their because i was just going to have that as a beauty products haul. I have three products i would like to show you. But first off, i have spot prone skin and i did have problems with my skin last year and i had to use the clean and clear advantage face wash, clean and clear dual action moisturiser and the clearasil skin perfecting wash. I used them for over a year and it did clear up my skin very good but the clean and clear face wash did make my skin dry, so i stopped using it for a couple of weeks to see how my skin would cope. My skin was very good and i did get a few spots but not as bad as i was, so then i wanted to try something else and went to my local boots and got three simple skincare things.

 The first one is the Kind to skin moisturising facial wash
.

 The next one is the Kind to skin smoothing facial scrub.



 The last one is Kind to skin Rich moisturiser.
This is what i got in my Simple skincare haul. I will do a Review on these soon. I hope these products wont break me out in spots, but will have to wait and see. Thanks for reading this post, If you have any ideas on what i can do, then please write a comment to this post. Also if you want me to try and get something and review it for you then i will. Thanks
