Review- Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser




Haya Lovely's, Todays post is a review on the Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser, I was sent this Cleanser for review from Pure spa so I have decided to tell you a little about pure spa before we get into the review. 

Pure Spa
Pure spa is a beauty salon located it Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. 
"PURE Spas are havens of tranquillity, where you can truly switch off and enjoy a superb therapy in luxurious surroundings.
With today’s hectic lifestyle, we feel it is essential to take some time out for reflection and relaxation, and the benefit of the whole experience on your general health and wellbeing lasts much longer than the therapy itself.
We strive to provide a friendly, personal and professional service, whether you are visiting for a quick eyebrow wax or a full day spa package.
We want you to leave PURE feeling relaxed, refreshed and revitalised!"

Elemis say's
"This luxurious anti-ageing deep cleansing cream delivers an exceptionally clean and clear skin, scientifically formulated with cell protecting Moringa Seed Peptides, balancing Great Burdock and anti-oxidising Noni and Assai Fruit. Active fragrance of Sweet Brazilian Orange, Lavender, Ylang Ylang, and Patchouli veil the face, whilst essential plant extracts purify and richly moisturise dehydrated skin. Make-up and grime is gently dissolved, revealing a radiantly youthful looking complexion.
Apply daily to dry skin and massage in to give a deep cleanse. Use a damp cleansing mitt to remove the excess product. You will notice the effects after just a few days, with your skin looking brighter and clearer and lines appearing reduced."

Details
- Full size retails for £29 for 150ml
- Available on the pure spa website and the Elemis website
- Has anti ageing products in it
- Is a king of cream/gel formula 
- Meant for dry skin

First thoughts
The first time I used this cleanser I new I was going to love it, It feels lovely on the skin, I new I would love it but was not sure how it would work for me as its meant for dry skin but right now I have a dehydrated skin as I had a huge reaction not two long ago. This product has a very strong scent which I'm not to much of a grate fan of but scents dont exactly bother me.

What I love
This Cleanser removes ever single bit of makeup on my face with just a tiny bit of product so it will last a supper long time. you dont need to use any water which is handy for traveling. It feels really nice on the skin and dose not sting my eyes like my clineque one.

What I dont Like
I'm not the gratest of fans of the scent but thats about it. 

I would defiantly recommend this product and give it a 5 out of 5.  you can buy this product at pure spa

* This product was sent to me for review, I'm not sposered by the company and all opinions are my own.

TAG! Why Do We Ware Makeup?


Hayya lovely's, sorry for the lack of blogging lately I have been very busy, so this is just a quick post today as I have a wedding booking later on that I need to get things ready for. 
Today I have decided to do the "why do i ware makeup" tag as I have seen it floating around my feed on both blogger and youtube. I hope you enjoy. 

1. When did you begin loving makeup
I began loving makeup just after my 15th birthday. I stated getting into buying makeup and finding out how to use it the right was, as both my sisters didn't live with me and my mum dose not have a clue I started watching youtube videos. It was just the beginning of 2012 that I decided that I was going to start freelancing, and I have to say its amazing, I dont have the best of confidence but since I started freelancing it has grone so much I can take to people without being shy when I do there makeup. I think its means that i'm doing the job I love and should be doing.  

2. How do you feel with out makeup
I'm not going to lie and tell you I feel amazing as I dont I love wairing makeup not because I always want my face covered its because I love to apply it. Makeup gives me more confidence. I didnt used to go out without makeup but i can go to the shop (tesco) and the doctors with out doing my makeup now.  

3. What do you like about makeup
I like a lot of things about makeup, I like how it can change some ones face, add light and depth, make a statement and show who you are and how you feel. and as I said before I really love applying makeup its the best part of my day. 

4. 3 holy grail items
this is a hard one... MAC studio fix NC15 (in summer) or Laura mercer silk cream or nars sheer glow (winter) 
MAC charcole brown eyeshadow to fill in my brows
Cover girl lash blast mascara 

Hope you enjoyed this tag! I tag any one that would like to do this tag. 




OPI Skyfall Collection- My picks


Hayya Lovely's Today's post is on my picks from the new OPI holliday collection "Skyfall" This collection is inspired by the new James Bond film which will be released this month some time. Now in no way did I buy this collection because its James bond as to tell the truth I have never seen any of the movies. 

Anyways I was in sally's today as I knew there were some colours I wanted and I had to get a few things for my kit and for Christmas presents. the colours I picked up are:

Skyfall- This is a red berry colour its beautiful for the winter season. I dont own any colour like this so this is the first one I picked up  

Live And Let Die- this is a green even though the swatch makes it look black. its full of glitter which is so beautiful and again I do not own anything like it so had to grab it up

Moonraker- Is literally a pure silver with a hint of purple. it reminds me a little of a china glaze one i own but after looking closely at swatches they look nothing alike. 

I'm really happy with the colours I picked. one of the ones i wanted was sold out all ready so i might be able to pick it up another time. 
Did you pick anything from the OPI Skyfall collection?

Review- Urban Decay Smoked Eye Pencil Set






Hayya Lovely's. Today i have decided to do a review on the Urban Decay Smoked Eye Pencil Set. This set Has the perfect shades for a smoky eye and would go grate with the smoked pallet. This set is part of the urban Decay holliday collection so if you want it grab it now while you can. 

Urban Decay Says
"Forget everything you thought you knew about creating super-sexy eyes. This set takes smoky WAY beyond basic black.
The perfect pairing for our popular Smoked Palette, the Smoked 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set contains six pencils in all—including two limited-edition shades we brought back by popular demand, and two amazing new shades you won’t find anywhere else! From shimmering pewters and deep, dynamic jewel tones to chocolate neutrals and our award-winning black, we’ve got your every smoky eye need covered."

Det ails 
-£26 British pounds $38 US dollars
- Available on line or at any urban decay counter
- 6 shades in set
- Travel size liners 0.8 grams in each liner 
- 2 new shades 

First thoughts
I have used Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencils for such along time, so when I saw this set and the price I new I had to grab it up. Zero is my favorite liner for lining the water line and I needed a new one and this set has another 5 liners in it, its a really good deal.  The Urban decay 24/7 liners glide on the waterline and lashline like a dream there is no tugging or struggle. they also last all day!

What I Love
I actually love the price tag on this set, its so worth the £26! I love how you get 6 colours, 2 being new 2 back on popular demand and the other 2 are best sellers. I love that they glide on the lid/ waterline like a dream and that there quite waterproof. These eyeliners are supper pigmented so the slightest touch gives you colour 

What I dont like
The only thing i dont like about the urban decay 24/7 glide on eye pencils are that there really hard to sharpen, I would recommend getting a eye liner sharpener like the one from Chanel.

Colour
Uzi- Gunmetal taupe with silver micro glitters (Back on popular demand) 
Zero- Urban Decays famous black eyeliner (best seller)
 Demolition- Deep matte brown (best seller)
Smog- copper (brand new)
Mainline- Matte deep green/blue (brand new)
Empire- Dark eggplant (back on popular demand)

I would give these eyeliners a 5 out of 5 and would defiantly recommend them to everyone as there so creamy and stay proof and so pigmented. 


Collective Makeup Haul- MAC and Urban Decay





Hayya Lovely's, So as some of you will know I have been in england visiting family (and shopping) so today's post is a collective (over 2 days) makeup haul. 
So I'm a little shop a holic and went to both the metro center and newcastle, as I love them both. I bought mostly MAC items but did buy one thing from urban decay and a few bits and bobs which I did not photograph as I could not get good pictures of them. I also bought some Christmas presents which I'm not going to show ether. 

Lets get started with the haul!

Urban Decay Smoked eyeliner set- Well this is an amazing buy as its only £26 for 6 travel liners. I bought this mainly because my dad bought me the smoked pallet for Christmas so i have to wait 2 months but thought the matched perfect, also we needed to spend like an other £15 to get 1000 points haha. 
MAC Minrelized satinfinish foundation- £24 I will be reviewing this ones my skin is better as my skin is going crazy right now since I had a reaction to bobbi brown. I'm not sure if i'm going to like this foundation as it has glitter in it which I did not relies when I bought it.  
MAC no.7 Lashes- £10 this is my first ever pair of MAC lashes, I got them for my mums birthday party. I picked theses as I have heard Tanya from Pixi2woo talk about them a lot. 
MAC Quad- £6.50 I wanted to make a everyday quad to take to collage and other places were I'm travailing to. I also thought the colours I picked would be grate for a bride. 
MAC Patina Eyeshadow (pro pan)- £10 This is leading from the quad. I picked this colour again because of Tanya as I have seen it in a lot of her videos
MAC Expresso Eyeshadow (pro pan)- £10 this is the perfect crease colour as its a matte brown shade. the picture dose not show the full intensity of this colour. I got this colour because of Nic from pixiwoo
MAC Omaga Eyeshadow (pro pan)- £10 I picked this colour as I thought it would look good all over the lid and in the brows. Again I got this because of Nic from pixiwoo and Tanya from pixi2woo
MAC Naked Lunch eyeshadow (pro pan)- £10 ok i know I should of had this colour ages ago, but like a few people I thought it would be like the same as all that glitters. 
MAC Pure Zen Lipstick- £14 I bought this in the normal packaging because the limited edition one was sold out (cry) This colour is the perfect nude for Autumn and winter. 
MAC Reble lipstick- B2M. I got this lipstick after eyeing it forever and its the perfect shade for Autumn!

The stuff I did not photograph 
Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual- £20 this book has been on my wishlist since I started makeup so decided just to get it.
Mark Hill Wicked waver- £29.99 on sale. I bought it waver as I love waive hair. I own a curling wand which gives tight curls, the dont look to grate on my haha. I knew I wanted one of these and when I went into boots I just had to grab it up. also its zebra print 

So that is everything I have bought. I will be going to MAC again next month for the Holiday event so I will try to save up before then haha (good news is I have almost finished my xmas shopping)

How I deep Clean My Makeup brushes







Hayya Lovelys, its the time of the week that I have to wash all my makeup brushes so thought I would show you how I deep clean them. I didn't have to do all my brushes to day *thank god* as i have a LOT. I have also learned something doing this post, Its hard to take pictures when needing to used two hands.
It is very important to wash your brushes regularly as dirt and bacteria can build up on the bristles which can cause comadones, pustules and papules. A lot of people (including myself a year ago) thought you can just use a foundation brush till its full of foundation then get a new one. You can spot clean your brushes daily to make sure you dont spread bacteria on your face the next time you use the brush. 
Anyway lets get on to how I wash my brushes. 

- Lay out all your dirty brushes next to your sink ready to get washed 
- Dampen your brush with warm water
- Swirl your brush in some Baby shampoo (this is a mild shampoo so will not harm the brush)
- Keep swirling and squeezing the brush adding more water as you go till the water is clear meaning no foundation or dirt is left on the brush
- rinse out all the soap with water
- repeat on all brushes 
- leave your brushes out to dry (this could take up to a day depending on heat and the brush hair) 

I hope this post was helpful to you all. If you have any request please let me know.


I'm So Bad- MAC Pro Haul




Hayya Lovely's. I'm really sorry but I have been bad and could not help myself from spending money (It runs in my family) I got my MAC pro card and just could not help placing a order. I dont think I'm cut out for a spending ban anyway but i have learned some things like how to say to my self i dont need something. I am going to go to MAC next week and I will try control myself and see how it turns out haha. 

Anyway last Friday I was really upset and needed to do some retail therapy so I was going to order of the MAC website but then decided to wait to the Saturday and phone up MAC pro and get a few of the products that have been on my list for the time I get my pro card. So I phoned up and maid my order and it arrived today. The shipping was very good being the same price as the MAC website. 

Ordering over the phone was one of the hardist things ever. for one I'm quite shy when on the phone and for two the phone line was bad so I ended up getting a product that I did not ask for but its ok as I will use it.
What did I get?
Pro Mixing Medium Gel - The is the product I did not order it got mixed up as I asked for the eyeliner mixing medium but this is fine I will get the other one in my next order. £12.74 
Pro Chromaline Black Black - One of the makeup artists at MAC said I needed this as its the blackest black you can get in gel formula. This product can be used anywair but make sure to read the warning book first. £11.90
Pro Cromographic Pencil Hi-def Cyan - This product came out in a collection last year but I was not to into makeup artistry then and thought I would never ever use it but now I'm doing makeup artistry for a living I decided I need somthing crazy haha. £11.90
Pro Glitter in Terquoise - This is the colour I'm going to weir for my mums birthday party. I saw a video on youtube by fashionista804 and she did a look with this glitter and I new state away I wanted to do that look. £14.04
Pro Glitter Reflex purple duo - I did order a diffrent one but they sent this one but its ok I like it. I bought this as I love anything purple. £14.04

That's everything I bought. I'm really happy with everything I got, My next MAC pro order will be after Christmas I promise you that as I'm going to MAC two more times before then so I think I will be able to hold myself together. 

Have you done any MAC hauling lately? If so please send the link.
Just to let you all know my best friend from foreverglam x is holding a amazing giveaway to win one of three prizes. I hope that you will go enter it as it would mean the world to her. 1000 follower giveaway
