If you are looking to buy the Real Techniques sculpting set from Superdrug or from another retailer within the next week, then you will love what I have to say next.
At the moment, Superdrug has discounted the sculpting set from £20.99 to £13.99 which saves you £7. This is a really good deal because Real Techniques are outstanding quality and it saves you a bit of money. As they say, every penny counts right?!
I do believe you can only get the sculpting set in Superdrug, however you can buy it from online retailers such as Amazon. However, I have searched the web for the cheapest deal on this set and the current Superdrug deal is the best around at the moment. Also if you have a beautycard then you will gain 13 points from buying the set.
This deal is only available in Superdrug online and in stores and will end on Tuesday 19th May 2015.
Barry M just recently released their new speedy nail polish range but that doesn't stop them from launching brand new shades for the summer. Barry M are already expanding the Speedy nail polish range and it has not been out that long, now that is what I call speedy! The collection already have 9 shades out in the shops within the speedy nail polish range that they launched a couple of months ago and now they are about to launch 6 brand new shades.
Just by looking at the promo picture, these 6 new shades look to be a lot brighter than the 9 pastel shades. I suppose Barry M launched speedy nail polish range ready for the spring which is why they brought out mainly pastel shades. But now we are slowly approaching the summer, it is the perfect time to bring out brighter colours.
The 6 new shades are Get Set Go, On Your Marks (Yellow), Need for speed (Purple), Supersonic (Blue), Turbo Charged and Speed Demon (Pink). The colours might be different when I see them in the shop but the promo picture looks like the above colours. Anyway these are pretty bright colours ready for the summer.
If you love bright colours and already love the Speedy nail polish range, then you will love the new shades. The new shades will costs £3.99 each and will be launching on 6th May (Out Now) in Superdrug and 13th May in Boots.
This is the first ever liquid concealer that Barry M are launching and I cannot wait till I get my hands on it. I love Barry M and I love concealers so this is a win win situation for me. Barry M is a UK brand with very affordable yet brilliant products. At the moment, Barry M are releasing a lot of brand new products adding to their existing make-up range. The flawless concealer is one of the new products coming out very soon.
The flawless concealer looks like it comes in the standard concealer tube and I hope it has a doe foot applicator since this is the type of packaging I prefer. I cannot say how much is in the tube because there are no press launches or any pre launched reviews on this concealer.
Barry M say this concealer is "A Lightweight fluid concealer that covers imperfections, blemishes and the look of under eye circles without caking. Infused with cucumber and aloe extracts to sooth and revitalise the skin, it's the perfect on-the-spot treatment for tired eyes".
For me this concealer sounds really good because it claims to feel lightweight and is meant to cover everything and anything on the face. I suffer from blemishes and I am always on the look out for a new concealer and this sounds perfect for me. With the cucumber and aloe extracts, I think this is leaning towards a under eye concealer but it looks like it could be used anywhere.
I do not know how many shades there are but by the picture it looks like there could be three shades; light, medium and dark.
The Flawless concealer by Barry M costs £4.49 and launches in Superdrug on the 6th May and Boots on the 13th May.
When I searched on the Lush website to look at the products coming out for Mother's day 2015, I came across Secret Garden. This bath bomb is a limited edition product especially for Mother's day. However I have been told that the secret garden did come out in 2013, so I believe it has been coming out every Mother's Day since 201. I have seen some reviews and they say this could be a part of the Easter collection as well. Secret garden is a bath bomb which means it can be dropped straight into the bath and fizzles up right before your eyes and will not make bubbles.
Secret Garden is a grassy green colour ball with a pink flower embedded into the bomb which reminds me of spring. Personally I have never bought anything in lush which is green so when I saw this bomb with the nice pink flower on top, I had to buy it. I would say this is a medium sized bath bomb because it is not as big as Dragon Egg but not as small as Think Pink. The scent is not too overpowering since it is a floral smell. So if you do not like floral smells, then Secret Garden is not for you. When I got out of the bath, I could smell the floral smell on my skin which did not bother me in the slightest. It has been four hours now since I stepped out of the bath and I can just about smell secret garden.
When I dropped Secret Garden into the bath, straight away it fizzed up and spun round and round whilst it pumped out colours of green, orange, white and pink foam into the bath. I have never seen a bath bomb go round and round as fast as this one. After two minutes, the bomb was throwing out yellow foam along with flower petals.The water at first turned a dirty green/grey colour but by the end, it turned into a nice Victorian green.
I think this has to be one of the best bath product in this years Mother's Day range due to the different colours and the petals it produced. You can buy Secret Garden in Lush now for £2.95 and as I said at the begin, this is a limited edition product, so get it while you can!
If you love the Benefit Chachacha tint and lollitint, then you will love this up and coming product by the cosmetics brand MeMeMe.
MeMeMe is an affordable make-up brand in the UK which is mostly sold in Superdrug. I have always noticed that MeMeMe do release very similar products to Benefit and they always seem to mimic the best selling products. MeMeMe are cheaper and more affordable brand compared to Benefit.
Anyway MeMeMe will be releasing their new Coral Blossom cheek and lip tint to expand their current range. Personally I haven't tried Chachacha by benefit but Coral Blossom seems to be the cheaper version of that. As by the name of this product, this can be used as a cheek tint and a lip tint which I do love a multi use product in certain situations. Also by the name, this is a peach/coral colour which is not going to be overly pigmented but will give a nice subtle wash of colour either onto the cheeks and/or lips. This is perfect for the summer and will last a lot longer than a powder in hot weather.
On the MeMeMe website, they call this range the 'Little Angels' family which is a nice name for a range. As it states on the website, the tint will be available in July. There is no release date when this product will be out, but it should be out within the next month. The Coral Blossom only costs £5.50 which is a brilliant and more affordable price compared to Benefit. The tint should be available on the MeMeMe website and online/instore in all Superdrug stores.
I have never done one of these posts before just because I never really blogged much on here and I didn't feel there was a need to blog on my life. So my life hasn't been that exciting but I have a few updates in which might be interesting to you and I just want to write a nice and informal blog post that I don't need to edit or look over.
Anyway the first update is that I might be buying a place of my own...eek! This I think is the biggest update and the most exciting one for you and especially for me. I don't know for sure if I will be buying the house just because I don't know how much money I can borrow which can be the only thing which could turn this around. The house is my granddad's and I want to buy it just because it is a brilliant way to start on the property ladder and its a place of my own. I live with my parents, brother and a dog and I have the smallest room which is nice living with my parents but I need the extra space now that I'm older and I do want to be more independent and just get on the property ladder. I don't actually know what the place is worth just because my parents haven't got a valuation on the place yet but I might be able to lower the price just because its family owned and I wont have the estate agents fee to pay. I think it will be a good life experience moving on my own but then again its scary at the same time just because I will be on my own without my parents there. Anyway this might not even happen for many reasons but I really hope this works out and I can buy a house of my own.
The next update is that I am now 21!, I turned 21 in April and I didn't have anything special for my birthday apart from going to highclere castle for my birthday. I love highclere castle due to my love of Downton Abbey. It was a nice and sunny day and I drove to highclere with my mum and we spent the day looking around the house and just roaming around the grounds. If you love Downton Abbey then you will love highclere castle. Turning 21 is a big milestone for anyone, so turning 21 was a big deal for me. No one believes me that I am 21 just because I look younger than what I am which will be a big bonus for me when I'm a lot older.
I will hopefully be churning out blog posts a lot more now. I have been doing youtube for such a long time now and I want a different challenge. If you have a look at my blog, then you will see posts from a couple of years ago and they where not very consistent and just ended up being a few a year. But hopefully that will all change. I have changed my blog name from laurensmart1993' blog to Miss Lauren Jane. I wanted a name change since I have grown up a lot more and I think it sounds more professional. I have also changed the blog image to be more grown up and suit the name change. If everything goes ok, then I hope I will be blogging at least once a week. So you will me seeing a lot more posts from me from now on.
My job is the same since I have been working now for the company for 1 year and 6 months. If you don't know me, my job title is Contracts Management and Health and Safety Admin for a national company. I love my job and I love the people I work with. Also my relationship status is now Single. I decided to break it off with my ex. It was an on and off relationship and I decided I wanted to find a better man and have a proper relationship that doesn't end up in a big row.
I think that is it on updates on my life, I hope you enjoyed this post and I will update you on the house situation when I know more and If I can get a mortgage.Please let me know if you like these posts and if you would like to see more posts like this?
I don't know about you, but I love the Dazzle Dust range by Barry M. When I first started out in make-up, I always used to buy the dazzle dusts since they are cheap but very high quality. A few years ago, dazzle dusts were the in thing to buy, but nowadays I haven't really heard or seen anything on Youtube or blogs about these dusts. If you do not know what dazzle dusts are then you have missed out big time... Dazzle dusts are pots of eyeshadow pigments which can be used for nearly everything. Dazzle dusts can even be mixed with Vaseline petroleum jelly to make a coloured lip balm. Dazzle dusts come in a range of different finishes, Shimmer, glitter or matte. The shimmer dusts are the most popular in the range and I believe this was the first finish they produced year's ago.
They already have over 60 dazzle dusts colours and now they are adding four new colours to the collection. The four dusts are very neutral based and can be used to make a smokey eye or just a nice natural eye make-up look. The four shades are Athena(dd105), Aphrodite(dd106), Venus(dd104) and Eos(dd103).
Aphrodite is the lightest shade in the new four shades and Aphrodite is a shimmery Ivory/Bisque shade. This seems the less shimmery shade out of the four.
Athena is the second lightest shade and Athena is a Shimmery beige.
Venus is the next lightest shade and Venus is a shimmery bronze shade.
Lastly Eos is the darkest shade and Eos is shimmery dark brown.
Personally I think they are amazing products because they are very versatile and can be used for a lot of different things. Also the dazzle dusts are really pigmented and come in a small pot which can be used once finished. The four new dazzle dusts are in Boots and Superdrug stores and online now retailing for £4.59 each.
P.S I will be picking all four dazzle dusts up the next time I go into a Boots or Superdrug, so expect reviews coming on my blog very soon.
