Weekly makeup additions #29

Whilst it has been an extremely busy week there's nothing better than when the weekend comes, I rummage through my makeup collection and see how I can plan looks for the following week.  This week comes we have an eyeshadow quad from +Tom Ford International , a mascara from +Charlotte Tilbury and a lip pencil from +Revlon UK.

Linalool free beauty products : Drugstore edition

Linalool is an element of multiple essential oils such as orange, lavender, rose, rosewood and corriander which holds a floral scent.  Whilst in a pure form it isn't a skin allergen, when oxidized and used in cosmetic purposes allergic reactions can appear.  Recently one of my closest friend was tested to extreme lengths until it was discovered that Linalool was no longer a product she could skip hand in hand down the road with, so after countless research and hunting, this my palski is for you.  The linalool free drugstore makeup edition...

March favourites : 2015

Spring has officially sprung which means one thing, we're out of March and in with April.  What's been tickling your tastebuds this past month?  Here's some of my (guilty) pleasures from brushes, makeup to a fragrance mist ...

Revlon Colorbust, Lacquer Balms : The road test

Revlon's Colorburst, Lacquer Balms are about to get the tried and tested, review and swatch test.  Carrying on from my previous post on the Revlon Matte Balms, I continued my 3 for 2 on Revlon products with their new Lacquer Balms.  The shades which happened to land in my basket were, Whimsical (115), Provocateur (135) and Demure (105).

I have been a fan of crayon lipsticks ever since Clinqué released their Chubby Sticks so the fact that these have a bit of extra sparkle in them for only £7.99 each was more than enough to tempt me!  My local boots only held 5 of the 10 available shades so I picked 3 which I'm sure will be extremely well used!

Revlon ColorBurst, Matte Balms: Tried and tested

Revlon have finally put us out of our misery and released their 10 matte and 10 lacquer ColorBurst balms in Boots (February 18th in Superdrug) at a retail cost of £7.99 each .  Having already read and watched multiple review videos about the new beauty must-have, it was time to bring some to my makeup collection, 3 matte balms and 3 lacquer balms ended up in my hands.

This post is reviewing the matte-balms which were the items that first caught my eyes.  Although my local Boots didn't have the full selection they still had some which were more than tempting and ended up in my hands.  Introducing Audacious (245) a warm orange tone, Striking (240)  a deep kissed red and Elusive (205) a light pink shade.
