Very quick update

I have now used up :

Avon primer
define a lash mascara
toni n guy curl activator
lush spray
sure body spray

so I'm now 6/20 !

I must admit this is getting really hard because i really want to buy new products. My boots No7 liquid eyeliner is really starting to dry out and at this point i would normally bin it and buy another but this time I am determined to finish the bottle off.

One down 19 to go..

Got through my first beauty product this week!

I have finished off my Paris Hilton- Heiress shower gel that i got as part of a gift set. I love the smell of the shower gel . Its a product I would normally consider buying again however the gel only comes as pert of a gift set and I have harly used a quarter of the perfume yet so I will have a long wait if i do.

Im very close to finishing off my maybelline define a lash mascara as its getting a little too dry to be used now and to be honest I will be glad to see the back of it because the bendy wand really annoys me.

So if i carry on at the rate I have this week I will be allowed to buy new beauty products at the end of September.LOL I best speed up a little.

Speak soon xxx

project "20 pan"

2009-06-15T12:05:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post to announce that I am going to do something slightly different.

Lollipop26 has just finished project 10 pan so it made me think- Why just makeup?

I have alot of beauty products and really need to use then up because there is so much more out there to try. So I'm going all out to use up 20 from my collection which includes the following products:

Hair
Nail
Skin
Makeup
Other Beauty (perfumes, bath bubbles etc)

I know this may seem quite easy as its all beauty products but the problem lies in the fact that everything I have is at least half full or very large ( tresemme shampoo-900ml)

I know this is going to be really really hard as at the moment I have been buying something new every week but its something I really need to do. I will be updating you all more often to let you now how its going as well as doing some reviews for my recent purchases (All before today)

There is one exception to my rule!!!
As I am basing my 20 pan on all items beauty if i run out of something I deem as necessary then I will go out to replace the item. The only one things I can think at the moment that will be an exception are body spray and wet wipes

Wish me luck!

Eyeko review.

2009-05-26T13:26:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone !

As you may have seen in my last blog. I went to Superdrug and bought both of the Eyeko creams.

I have used them literally every day since then and all I can say is I'm loving them!

Eyeko are a London based company who take their name from the Japanese meaning for love.All of their products are super cheap in fact they don't sell their products for anything more than £5 each!The creams contain 1.29 fl oz they are sold as 3 in 1: Moisturiser,eye cream and highlighter.The texture of both of the creams are soo light

So I will start with my thoughts on the new sunkissed glow:

When I first opened the tub I really did not think that this was going to work for me. The colour looks way too dark but I couldn't judge the makeup just on how it looks!!

The application of this one needs some work at first but I found it very quick to get used to. I needed to make sure I used a small amount and build up coverage as I discovered the effect hard to reverse.

If you have good skin and can get away with wearing no foundation then this product will be great for you. I was using this as an all over bronzer and i loved the results. The cream blends in to my skin without any effort. I found that i did not have to use any moisturiser or primer so on sunny days when I'm feel lazy or in a rush this is what i will reach for.I have also been using this cream as a contour colour using a small round blush brush I had dipped the brush in very lightly so make sure that only the very tip of the brush has the product then dabbed the brush along my contour line then blended as i normally would. The results are great!!

Feel the glow.

This is my Favourite of the two creams. I love the golden undertone in this cream. I have found this to be the perfect highlighter for my skin tone.

Alot of highlighters on the market contain a lot of shimmer and leave me looking like a glitter ball , By the end of the day I end up having little flex of glitter all over my face BUT with Eyeko I do not have any worries about this because there is no glitter. The cream applies very smoothly, evenly and just sticks all day long. I have used this cream alone,under foundation (as a primer) and over as my main highlight.I have even used this one as my brow bone highlight which looks really natural

I can definitely see myself feel the glow over and over again.

So to sum things up, I would highly recommend feel the glow to anyone out there who likes to wear a primer or a highlight. For anyone who has tanned skin or enjoys bronzing then sun kissed glow is definitely worth a try!

Some Goodies from the weekend

2009-05-06T14:02:00.000-07:00

Here's what I bought this weekend when i was in town. The Plan was to get a new top for a night out with the girls however that soon changed when i got to the accessories in Primark!

The above glasses were £2 , I also got the same in brown but they have are mia at a bbq I went to. The scarf was £3 it is reversible and really bright ( the picture's not showing the true colour) LOVE IT!

The headbands were £1 for all 6! so I decided to get the Neutrals and the colours, the only problem I have had so far is they are really tight when I first wear them so I get a headache but after the first day they stretch to the perfect size.

I did get some other bits in primark but nothing worth a mention.

My Next stop was Boots where i bought these 3 Lee Stafford products. They are currently on 3 for the price of 2. As I have a boots advantage card I also had some vouchers which gave me an additional £2 off and an extra 150points so I only spent £9 on all 3 in total

My final stop was at Superdrug where I bought these two eyeko products i had heard about. They were £4.99 each. I'm Currently trying these out so I will let you know how i feel in a few days.
