Tangle Teezer review!!!!

Ohmigod!!! I have had Tangle Teezer on my list for so long, ever since it came onto Dragon's Den, (who can forget that cringing pitch for an investment!) but I've just never wanted to part with £10 for a brush. But I was browsing HotUkDeals (amazing for grabbing absolute bargains!) and I came across this on offer for only £4 and I knew I had to get it! It's had such great reviews and I've never seen it at this price as it usually retails for £9.99!

This is what they have to say:

• Excellent for detangling both wet and dry hair
• Painless detangling by using firmer pressure
• Excellent for children's hair
• A Must for hair extension wearers
• Blissful relaxing head massage

I have to say I'm so impressed since my hair always gets into knots and I was always battling with my hair to remove the knots but now I don't have to worry, since this is fantastic and it completely does it job. I'm now wondering why I didn't buy it before! It may be a little pricey for a comb/brush but its definitely worth it!

2true Lipgloss...2 true to be good?

Lol excuse the bad pun! But it is quite true (enough with the true already!) that it makes you wonder that at such a cheap price is it actually any good? And I'm surprised to say I'm quite impressed with them! I got 3 lipglosses for £5 at Superdrug which is incredibly cheap.

But for the price it's done well. It's probably not the best lipgloss I own, but you always need a couple of good cheapies lying around! 

They give a nice colour (I usually pair it with a lipstick) and even though they're a little sticky (nothing a good lip balm can't sort out!) I still like them. I definitely want to try out the other stuff in their range and see how it compares.

Body Shop Haul....Umm Yum!

Body Shop also had a sale on and I managed to pick up a few bits and pieces. I love Body Shop's things since they smell sooo good! But they can be pricey so I usually stock up on their stuff when they have offers or at sale times! 

First up is the body butters which smell amazing!!! They really creamy and it does moisturize your skin. Although I've noticed that it goes a bit thicker in winter so I usually leave it in a warm place because I like really soft.

Also I got two lip butters which weren't in the sale but I really love them! Again like the body butters they're really soft and creamy and just melt onto your lips. They smell so good I just want to eat it! I usually use them when I've lost my Carmex (yep I can't find it at the mo) :(

I also got 2 Born Lippy Lip Balms in Cherry and Watermelon. Now these are only £2 (not in the sale) so I don't mind getting a few of them because they leave a glossy finish to lips and they're really moisturizing as well! And I always end up running out of this because I end up licking it all off!

Sorry, no proper pic for this one and the cube one :(

I got a couple of the handcreams because they only bring these out at Christams time and they have an amazing scent! And they're only a £1!!!

And last up the Shimmer Cube which I got for £5 down from £16! They're really shimmery and the colours are vibrant but not too bold. The packaging's quite cute too! They're not very wintry colours but I'm saving it for Spring/Summer.

Aaarghh..botched up camera, what can you do? lol

 

Online Shopping

So it's that time of year when the sales come and everyone goes completely crazy-queuing up in the early morning in the cold to frantic buying and not forgetting all the shoving and pushing. This year I did most of my sale shopping online and I think that this is the best way to go. You can beat all the queues and how annoying is it when you can't find your size or your item is out of stock! (So frustrating!!!) 

I got some amazing bargains and it is so easy and secure to pay for and it arrives quickly too. Now I know you have to pay delivery charges, which can be really annoying but sometimes its worth it. Although, a lot of online shops have offers like 'Free delivery over £70' or codes so you just have to keep an eye out. 

A few places I shopped online were Debenhams, Asos, Next, House of Frazer, Dorothy Perkins and Amazon. The only thing annoying is when you have to go to the post office or the shops to do all the returns!

Collection 2000 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner

I've always loved top liner, but because I use it so often I like the easiest and quickest way to draw it on. So when I heard about the felt tip liners I knew I had to get my hands on them! After a bit of searching, it was between Rimmel London's Flash Tip Liner and the Collection 2000 one. I opted for the cheapest and it ended up costing me only £3 for one! ( You know me, I love a bargain!)

It was so easy to use, I couldn't believe I wasn't using this before! Now it takes me about 30 seconds to do my eyes rather than the 10 minutes it took me fiddling about with those gel liners and that brush! I loved how easy it was to handle and I was majorly (feel so American) impressed with the precision of the line.  Also it definitely has staying power and the swatch is still on my hand after a nights sleep! Although, I felt that the liner wasn't black enough and I had to go over it a few more times to get the colour right.

I would give this product a 4/5 but I'm probably going to try the Eyeko Graffiti Liners next, since I really like the colour range and the prices are affordable as well!

P.S Lunar Eclipse today, yes I know, did anyone even notice? But it just sounds like somat important even though I kind of don't even know what it is (too uncle google I go...)
:)

And then we fell in love...

Wow three posts in one day ,eh! I really must be bored! And yes we're still snowed in (well not exactly, but still it's too cold to even consider stepping outside!), but that still that doesn't excuse me for still being in my PJ's in the afternoon! :-P 

But I have to tell you guys about the one product that has been my absolute saviour throughout the  cold months and  it is my favourite beauty product of all time( yep I know a BIG statement, but it has to be said!)-the one and only CARMEX. 

My love affair with carmex began about 2 years ago, when a friend was harping on about some amazing lip balm that her favourite celeb loved and I ended up buying one. At that time I had badly chapped lips and those little vaseline tubs always used to be my answer. But then it all changed... Initially I wasn't too keen on carmex, since I wasn't used to the tingling on my lips-it was always a thick layer of Vaseline slapped on for me. But in time it grew on me (big time) and now I'm never left without it. It protects, heals and moisturizes my lips better than any lip balm I've ever tried, so I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Another day, another lipstick - Barry M Lip Paint

It's another shade to add to the collection and this one is Vintage Rose. I really love Barry M lip paints because their so inexpensive and they're such good quality, they really do give you value for money. They all cost around £4.50 and the ones I have are so creamy and soft. I brought this colour since it's a great autumn/winter shade, perfect for this season. Plus I love the name! It's a very wearable pretty colour and it's not overpowering. It's like dark pink, and it's quite similar to my lip colour, so it just adds a bit of colour to them which I love.
