Review : SEXY MOTHER PUCKER : Soap & Glory


When going out, i find i prefer to wear lipgloss rather than lipstick, or i mix the two together and put lipgloss ontop on my lipstick. I just love how lipgloss can enhance your lips and the shine effect they give, bringing all the attention to your lips.

I chose to buy two lip glosses from the Soap & Glory, Sexy Mother Pucker range, priced at £9. I brought the Pink Appricot, which as well as the shine, gives your lips a touch of colour, and the Candy Gloss which is a pure sparkly gloss which i use on-top of my lipstick. 

The Pink Appricot is a colour i prefer to wear on it's own and my favourite from the two. The touch of colour is just enough to add that little bit of an extra natural pink tint to your lips. I like the natural look, so this lipgloss was a perfect buy for me as it didn't turn out too bright.

Candy Floss is again a very natural, but clear gloss with the tiniest tint of colour which i use on-top of my lipstick. It add's that little bit of extra to your lips whilst i found enhancing the lipsticks colour. It has little bits of glitter which aren't in your face, but are just enough to bring out even more shine and a glimmer effect once the light hits.


Both LipGloss's have a tingling sensation after a few seconds of applying. I think this is a love hate situation. At first i didn't like the tingeing sensation, i found it too strong and weird. But i now love this effect and it makes me think something magically is happening on my lips.

There easy to apply, with a very thick, sticky consistency. I would of liked the product not to be as sticky or of a heavy texture, but this is something that hasn't put me off the product. I also find i do have to keep re-applying as it does quickly fade, but again, i still love this gloss and it does the job.

They also SMELL GREAT! Not sweet, but a pleasant bearable smell.

Has anybody tried out any other colours?

OCTOBER GLOSSYBOX : POP ART EDITION


It's that time again.. the arrival of the mystery GlossyBox for £10 on a pay monthly plan. I've been on and off GlossyBox for the last couple of months. I start my plan and then end up cancelling to save money, but then i see other reviews and end up subscribing again. I can't stay away.

This month, the Glossybox has a Pop Art theme and said to be of value for £50. I couldn't be more excited! Coming from an creative art background, i was more excited about the box than the actual products. I'm very impressed by the quality, and i'm already planning some creative DIY to hang the box on my wall. Let me know if you want pictures to follow.



This month the box consisted of 4 full size products. A nice surprise as i normally get on average 2. They are the Ciate Nail Vanish, Full size priced at £9. So Susan Mascara, £14.95, LipLift Peel, $12.95 and the Nuxe face mask £19.50.

The two sample products were a miniature perfume from Yves rocher and the Rimmel London BB Cream which... i have actually been wanting to try, so i was delighted by this. GlossyBox must have known!


I'm definitely most excited to get the So Susan Mascara, Ciate Nail Vanish and the Perfume. 

Ciate Nail Vanish is always good quality, gliding on smooth and lasts a while. The cute little bow on the bottle gives it that little bit extra effort and more appealing to use. I always love getting new nail vanish as it doesn't get wasted. I don't own a white one either so this will make a good edition to my collection. 

So Susan mascara, well, we can never have too many mascaras. I've had a couple of things from So Susan sent by GlossyBox and i mostly like there mascaras. They do the job of enhancing your eye lashes and it stays on for most of the day. I also find i don't get the typical panda eyes which seem to be my biggest problem when it comes to mascaras. Although i like So Susan, i find it difficult to get hold of there products as they always seem to be sold out.

I also love getting mini perfume samples. I don't always get the chance to try new perfume smells so having little samples sent to me makes it easier to try before i buy online. When i first applied the perfume, it was a very strong, sweet distinct smell, but now that it has settle i really like it. After 10 minutes the strong smell had faded and it's much more suttle . I'd say it's an every day go to work perfume rather than a want to be noticed perfume. The normal sized perfume is priced at £33 for 30ml which i think is a reasonable price. The bottle is pretty basic, but it does the job and is easy to apply.


I'm impressed by the LipLift Peel by Etre Belle. I first applied it without reading the back thinking it was a lip moisturiser and was really confused to why it had granules in the texture and immediately wiped it off ( Silly Me ). Now that i've used to product PROPERLY, i was not expecting the results that i got.  I have quite rough, cracked lips with dead skin. You could say i have nightmare lips. Immediately after using this product, i could see a huge difference AND with only one use. My lips look healthier and the dead skin has gone. They also feel softer and made applying my lip balm smoother.

I had seen the Lush Lip scrubs but i didn't fully understand there purpose. Now that i have tried this product i'll be converting to try out different products for my lips.

Great October Box GlossyBox!

Must Have : MissGuided Dress

RAISALA LIME COLOUR BLOCK MIDI DRESS


This upcoming weekend.. i'm off to sheffield and i wanted to share with you all another great bargain that i've found. The above dress from MissGuided was originally £24.99, is now on sale for £7.99 !!

I was abit optimistic about the quality of the dress with it being so cheap, and how thin the material would be with it being a bodycon style. The fabric however, is ever so soft and stretchy. It isn't the thin material like i thought but it is very figure hugging. I also brought the matching white shoes but at a more expensive price of £24.99. But i figured i'd wear them quite often so it was worth the investment.

GRAB YOURSELF A BARGAIN LADIES.

I also brought another dress but for £24.99. Not so much of a bargain, but i fell in love with it and i don't splash out on new dressers often. Again, the material is lovely and soft, making it a comfortable wear. I found it is more figure hugging than the bodycon dress, which is not betrayed in the image below from the main website.
