Soap & Glory Super Eyes ♥

I've been using this for a while now so i think its time that i did a review!

Soap & Glory Super Eyes, Super Eyes Moisturising Eye Gel. Don't squint into the wind. In fact avoid any sort of squinting. It's unflattering, causes wrinkles, and can sully your mascara.

Includes depuffing caffeine, pro-vitamin panthenol, & soothing aloe vera juice.

Moist your eyes, and while you're at it, tighten them up too. Pat a layer of Super Eyes, Super Eyes around the contour of your eyes every morning and/or evening - whenever you feel like you need a little lift.

I have very sensitive eyes and my eyes tend to water quite a bit, especially when I'm outside in the wind and since I've been using Super Eyes it has really seemed to make a big difference in how much my eyes water, they don't water half as much as they used to. The consistency of this is like a gel and it goes onto the skin very smoothly and you can really feel that the skin around your eyes feels softer and tightened up. It really helps with puffy tired eyes in a morning but I'm not sure if it has made the circles around my eyes any less dark, or helped with any wrinkles around my eyes, i don't have many wrinkles so its hard for me to tell.

I would definitely re-purchase this though just for the fact that it really helps with my sensitive eyes, it's really annoying when you've done your makeup and then go outside on a windy day and your makeup gets ruined because your eyes are watering, its not a good look!

Beautiful Blogger Award ♥

Another award.. I seem to be getting a lot of these lately, but I'm not complaining! :P

Thanks to the lovely Life Love and Lipgloss for tagging me! :) xx

The rules for this are: Post 7 facts that you don't know about me and then tag 5 bloggers.

1. I'm a total theme park addict, i get withdrawal symptoms if i don't go to a few theme parks a year lol.

2. Anything paranormal really interests me, I'm always watching shows like Most Haunted.

3. I have 2 cats called Oliver and Toffee.

4. I really want a pet hamster, i used to have one when i was younger and about a week after we got it it had babies and then once they were old enough to leave their mother my Dad took them back to the pet shop without telling me whilst i was at school. :(

5. I've never broken a bone but when i was about 4 i got run over and i started primary school with bruises and scratches all over me. I hope they didn't think my Mum was beating me up lol.

6. I'm 21 and I've never had a job in my life, I'm on job seekers allowance and i was hoping that by going to the job centre they would help me find a job but they just look down on you and think they're better than you and they really don't help at all. :/

7. Relating to number 6, my Mum wants to start an online business in my name.. I'll let you know more about it when it happens, its in progress right now.

A Small Haul ♥

I had to go shopping today to get my Dad a Birthday present, so i did a little shopping for myself too. Here's what i bought:

A Miss Sporty nail polish in a brown colour because all the nail polish i seem to own is either really bright or really dark and i just fancied something a little more neutral.

Revlon Colourstay foundation in ivory. I've tried this before and really liked it but i thought it was causing me to break out so i stopped using it but I've decided to give it another chance, especially since me and my cousin are planning a trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach in February i want something i know will stay on my face all day.

Maybelline Colossal 100% black mascara. I really like the way Maybelline Colossal makes my lashes look but i always thought that it wasn't very black so i was really happy when they came out with a darker version.. I did actually intend to buy a waterproof mascara to go with the whole I'm going to a theme park so i really want my makeup to stay on thing but i just couldn't help myself.

I also stopped by WHSmiths and picked up two more books from the Morganville Vampires series because they're on buy one get one half price at the moment in my WHSmiths. I'm really enjoying this series and would recommend it to anyone who has an obsession with vampire books like me, haha!

Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It Review ♥

I've been meaning to do a review on this for a while now, so here it finally is.

At last - a simple solution for large pores and clogging, and you can just scrub your nose in it.
A multi-tasking scrub and marvel!
Helps refine large pores and prevent blemishes.
Special fruit-acid formula leaves skin looking brighter & more radiant.

What it says on the back:

The fab pore: Apply a pea-sized dollop of scrub your nose in it to a damp t-zone. (That's your nose, chin, and forehead.) Massage gently in circular motions, then extend out to the less clogged places on your face. Rinse well and follow with moisturiser.

Bonus! Pore purifying clay mask built in. Just leave a thin layer on skin 3 minutes longer for an oil absorbing, brightening, pore cleaning mask!

Personally i prefer to use this as a mask because i find that when i use it as a scrub it can be quite harsh on your skin, the consistency of it is very fine and sand like and it can actually hurt if your not gentle.

What i like to do is apply it to my face while its damp, let it dry into a clay mask for about 20 minutes, i don't know why they tell you to leave it on for just 3 minutes when using it as a mask because it takes longer than 3 minutes to dry. Once its dry i splash my face with water and gently massage in circular motions to use the scrub part of it and then rinse it off. I find that it seems to be less harsh when you let it dry first for some reason?

Overall I'd say this is a good product but I'm not sure if i will be re-purchasing it.

Skin MD Natural Review ♥

I was contacted sometime before Christmas by Skin MD Natural and asked if i would like to try their shielding lotion, the idea really intrigued me so of course i said yes! So yes, i would just like to state that this product was sent to me for free but my opinion is my own honest opinion from my experience with this product.

Here's what it says on the back of the bottle:

- Far more effective than conventional moisturizers
- Promptly absorbs, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield
- Finest natural ingredients together with a quantum advance in skin hydration
- Regeneration is fully realized within a few days.

When i was first contacted about this before i had seen the product i did some research on it and it seemed like it was for dry skin, well i have quite oily skin so i thought that maybe i could use it as a night time moisturiser but i was actually pleasantly surprised when i received it.

The consistency is really light and it sinks into your skin almost immediately leaving your skin feeling really soft (i was really surprised at how soft my skin felt the first time i used this). Even with my oily skin I'm able to use this as an everyday moisturiser without my face turning into a big oily mess by the end of the day which I'm actually quite surprised by seeing as I've always had to use a shine control moisturiser in the past. I'd say it has even helped my skin to become less oily because by using a shine control moisturiser i feel like it stops the oil, or absorbs it but doesn't solve the problem, but with using the Skin MD i feel like it's moisturising my face enough whilst still being light enough for me to wear so that my skin doesn't feel the need to produce more oils.

You can also use this product on any other part of your body as well as your face.

So would i buy this product with my own money now that I've had the chance to try it out.. Most definitely, i will be purchasing this once my bottle runs out. :)

You can find out more information on this product on the Skin MD Natural website here.

Share The Love ♥

I'm sure you've all seen the share the love videos on YouTube where people talk about their favourite YouTube guru's. Well i figured that i would do something similar in blog form of my favourite YouTube guru's but also of my favourite blogs because i always like to find new guru's to watch and new blogs to read.

I'm going to start with my favourite Youtubers.

1. Fafinettex3 - She was the very first person who i subscribed to on YouTube and through her i discovered the makeup community. She's been having some trouble with hackers deleting her account lately and it's happened again today which makes me really angry, don't people have anything better to do? I think her account is back up right now but there aren't any videos on there. She seems like such a sweet and lovely girl, i don't see how people can do that to her.

2. Gem's Maquillage - I really love watching this girl, i think she is my all time favourite guru. She does really great videos and just seems to be really genuine, i know i can trust what she says when she reviews a product. She also has a second channel where she does really interesting day in the life and random vlogs which you can find here, and a blog which you can find here.

3. xsparkage - This girl does really awesome tutorials and reviews and has one of those voices that are just really enjoyable to listen to. She also has a vlog channel here, and a blog here.

4. Moonbeamstarlight - I love watching this girl she can be so funny especially in her vlogs. She also does really great reviews and tutorials. You can find her vlog channel here and her blog here.

5. Zoella - This girl started out just writing blogs which is where i first found her but now she also does YouTube videos too, and they are fabulous! You can find her blog here.

Now onto my favourite bloggers. Wow, i never realised i followed so many blogs, i think I'm just going to mention their names or this will be a mile long.
