Blogger's Beauty Brawl day 4- Makeup Remover

Hi everyone,

We are almost half way through the #BeautyBrawl and today is all about makeup removers.

I will be giving you my view on the Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar water. I know I am extremely late with this one but, I actually brought this ages ago in Paris. For some reason I just didn't get round to using it, until now. Here's how I rated it:



Product: As you can probably tell I love this! I rated it 95/100. I honestly don't know why I didn't rate it at 100. I have tried many makeup removers and had different experiences with all of them. This however, does the job quite nicely. I have sensitive, combination skin and this didn't sting or make my face come up blotchy at all. It felt so gentle and left my skin feeling super soft. When removing eye makeup, it didn't sting my eyes like I find some makeup removers tend to do to my eyes. I found this just melted my makeup and I wasn't tirelessly wiping away with a cotton pad. I found this super easy to use, all you have to do is soak the cotton pad in the Bioderma Micellar water and wipe until your makeup is no more. My one regret, leaving it in the back of my draw and not trying it until now.

Packaging: I honestly cannot fault the packaging. I love the fact the product doesn't just run out when you go to put it on to a cotton pad, I like that you have to squeeze the bottle. There are no gimmicks, just nice simple packaging. Unless something happens to the cap or something else happens, I can't see why I wouldn't continue to love this. 100/100 from me!


Price: I found this on the Boots for £10.80. Which I thought compared to similar products on the market is a little pricey. However, I would pay this as I love this a lot.

Blogger's Beauty Brawl Day 3- Eyeliner

Hi everyone,

It's day 3 of 10 of #BeautyBrawl! I can honestly say I have been loving doing this!

Today my review will be on the Soap & Glory Supercat eyeliner pen in carbon black.


Here is my Top Trump rating for it:


Product: So I rated the Soap & Glory Supercat eyeliner at 95/100! So to be honest I couldn't fault this. I love the application, the tip of the pen is a fine point so you can either create thin lines or thicker lines. It's so easy to control, which makes it all the more easier to create your desired effect. I think my favourite thing about the eyeliner is the colour. The black is so intense! The only one thing I will say about this is, give it good time to dry. If it doesn't have enough drying time it is likely to smudge.




Packaging: So I gave it 90/100 for packaging. It comes in a box (which I forgot to take a picture of) and in true Soap & Glory style, it is beautiful. I love the bold writing on the eyeliner itself. The reason I only gave it 90. I don't really need a box for it. So it is just excess packaging I will end up throwing away. as much as I would love to, it will just be too bulky in the draw where I keep eyeliners and mascaras. It is a nice touch though.

Price: I think this eyeliner is great for £6. I think it's a pretty standard price for a high street eyeliner and I would most definitely buy this again. I'm rally looking forward to trying this out some more. You can find this on the Soap & Glory website or in your local Boots store.

Summer Blogger's Beauty Brawl '17 Day 2- Brow product

Hi everyone,

It's day 2 of #BeautyBrawl! Today is all about brow products.

I am going to right about the Clever Cat eyebrow powder. This came in my May Dollibox which I will be writing a review on shortly.


Here is what I rated the product:


Product: So I rated it 80. So, I don't own many brow products so I don't have much to compare it to. Out of the few brow products I own and have tested, I like it. I love the feel of the product, it's lovely and smooth. The pigmentation is also pretty good. The reason it didn't score higher is because this isn't the shade for me. That's not no one's fault, I just didn't want to rate it to highly as I can't get the full feel of the product. It is something I may considering purchasing in shade 2 or 3 as this was shade 5. Again, I'm still learning with the whole swatch thing.





Packaging: I actually really like the packaging of this! It feels quite weighty, which I like about products, as I feel that way I am getting a lot for my money. I love the fact it comes in it's own little box to keep it protected. I love the gold colour and the Leopard print packaging and the fact when you shut the lid of the eyebrow powder it clicks shut. The reason why this scored 95/100 for me was because I found it slightly difficult to get out of the box. As I said in my day 1 #BeautyBrawl post (in the packaging section again) this is me nit picking.



Price: I rated this 60/100 as it is £5.26 from Light in the box. Like I said before, I don't own many brow products and don't regularly use them. For this reason, I don't think I would pay this for it. Having said all of this, I do think I would buy this for myself but in a shade to suit me. That way I could definitely decide if it is worth £5.26.

Summer Blogger's Beauty brawl '17 day 1- Liquid Lipstick

Hi everyone,


Today is day 1 of the Blogger's Summer Beauty Brawl '17 (#BeautyBrawl). Today everyone taking part will be reviewing a liquid lipstick.

I will be reviewing MUA's Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer in 'Dash'.


Product: I gave the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer a score of 85. So, I actually don't have many complaints about this product. 'Dash' is a lovely plum colour. It has a standard doe-foot applicator and applies nicely. I didn't have any problems with application and I personally didn't find it streaky. I also liked that I could build the colour up. My only complaint would be that it is quite tacky. However, I can't complain about this as I think it is great for the price which I will talk about below.

Packaging: I love the fact it's no fuss packaging. I don't like elaborate packaging, so this for me is a winner. It's sleek, pretty and easy to just pop in your handbag. For this reason, I am giving the packaging 90/100. The only reason I didn't give it a full 100 was because I personally didn't like the feel of it. That's just me nit picking though.

Price: The price is absolutely amazing at £3! I am seriously thinking about getting more. For £3 you can't really go wrong. You can buy the MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquer from here.


Below is my first ever attempt at a swatch. Also, excuse my hands they are in need of some Aveeno care.
