Rodial glamtox eye light pen

Normally i wouldn't really buy something like this but i found it at a bargain price in my local Tk Maxx, so i thought what the heck i may aswell give it ago.
This item retails at £35.00 which i must admit it abit steep, there are similar item on the market from brands such as YSL. It claims to be an eye brightening concealer that erases any signs of fatigue and brightens the complexion. Although its an eye concealer it suggest on the box that you can use it in areas such as; hollow of the chin and contours of the nose.

I only used this under my eyes, i found that it did definitely brighten up my eyes but sometimes there just wasn't enough coverage for this to replace my normal concealer. The product is of a sheer liquid like consistency, which is dispensed using a click pen. You apply just a few strokes under the eye area, like a normal concealer.
Overall i do agree that it brightens up your eyes but i don't think i'd repurchase this, as i believe the retail price is to steep for what the product delivers. Although saying that there are many rodial products i would love to try, like the snake serum and boob lift. :)

A collective haul

These items are all from over the space of a few months, some are gifts and most of them i brought myself.
As I'm a student I'm in a small budget but with the likes of ebay.com/co.uk, you can often find many designer bargains! Here's a few piccies;

My favourite purchase , are these beauties a pair of prada sunglasses, I've been lusting of a pair like these for years but never been in a position to afford them. But thanks to ebay i managed to grab these for £40.00 wooo :)
But i word of warning there are many fakes items on ebay make sure you do your research for sunglasses read up about serial codes.


The maxi skirt, is a fab item for spring/summer. You can wear its whenever you want and its so easy to just chuck on, you bearly have to think about your outfit!

I just couldn't resist this, its a bluey purple colour and flows so elegantly and yet it was £12.00 from primark!! Love a bargain

The next item was a gift from my mother, she knew i had wanted a pair of these
for ages. They're Vivienne westwood globe earrings, there plain silver but because they are plain they will go with everything!!

Flowerbomb

Viktor and Rolf

My mum recently brought me this back from duty free, as she had been away on holiday. I had seen this

perfume advertisement in a magazine but i not normally the kinda girl too experiment with perfumes. Although

i must say this has a lovely scent, great for spring and summer. Its a sweet floral scent, you start to smell raspberries,rose petals its girly and glamorous. The packaging is ok but i do like the simple bottle, its a glass hot pink bottle in the shape of a grenade, which is hot pink at the bottom and gradually decreases into a baby pink nearer the top. This is now my new daytime fragrance so i can save some of my Chanel coco mademoiselle :)  X

Have you found a new perfumes lately, in time for summer?

Eve Lom my new love

I have to admit I am one of those lazy people that can't be bothered with cleansing, toning, moisturizing and so on. But I've realized that  now that I've turned 21 its time to start looking after my skin properly, so I've been on the hunt for skincare products. I tried a few but they were nothing special and didn't keep me interested which in turn meant I became lazy with my routine (not good). BUT all is not lost I have found a wonderful product that does most of my skincare routine in one! Woohooo! It is Eve Lom's Cleanser which claims to improve circulation, open pores, cleanse, exfoliate and tone the skin in minutes. I personally feel that this product delivers this it leaves my skin feeling as soft as a baby’s bottom and it makes my skincare routine so much easier, it even takes off my heavy duty mascara.

This is the 50ml tub, which comes with one muslim cloth.
(Sorry about the crappy pic guys was took on my phone)

Important ingredients:

• Clove and eucalyptus oil's which have antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties.
• Cocoa butter and chamomile oil used to soothe and condition the skin.
• Hops oil which tones the skin.

The muslim cloth provided is used to exfoliate the skin to leave your skin cleansed but yet soft.

How to use this product
Start by applying a small amount of the product to your face and neck (anywhere you have applied make-up to), you only need a small amount because of all the natural oils in the product. A small amount goes a long way. Massage the product all over then proceed to fill your sink/basin with hot or warm water. Immerse your muslim cloth into the water and afterwards squeeze out excess liquid. Press the cloth onto your face and/or neck for a few seconds. Repeat this step several times. This stage will open up your pores.
Then fold the muslim cloth into a small square, using circular movements remove all traces of the cleanser. You can continue to immerse the cloth into cold water and press on your face and/or neck, this is meant to close your pores.


Another good quality is you only need to use the tiniest amount as a little goes a long way with this product.
I found this by chance when i attended a make-up event at Space NK at the mailbox in Birmingham. Available at http://www.evelom.com/
Thanks for listening to my rant :)

Do you have a new fav product? or a time saving one? let me know :)
