Bourjois Volumizer Mascara

My favourite mascara of the moment. This gives me major volume! Love love love!

Origins Ginger Souffle Whipped Body Cream

I first heard about this Body Cream from Tanya Burr (Pixi2woo on you tube) and I was immediately intrigued by the word “Souffle”. I’m a marketing dream; I am immediately pulled into products when they call them things like Cleansing Milk or Body Souffle! It seems to make them sound even more luxurious. I have to be honest, the ginger scent didn’t really appeal to me however as soon as I smelt it, I was hooked. The scent is very fresh and the ginger is not too over powering. The body cream itself is lovely, it rubs in easily to the skin and doesn’t leave a tacky residue. I can really feel the difference the next day. My skin feels soft and still lightly fragranced.

Liz Earle Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash

I got this shower gel as a birthday present and I absolutely love it! It smells amazing, you can really smell the essential oils. The naturally active ingredients are organic oats and yarrow, rose scented geranium and natural vitamin E. It lathers up well and leaves the skin feeling clean, soft and lightly scented. Another excellent product from Liz Earle.

Revlon Lip Butter

Finally! I have got my eager little paws on the long awaited Revlon Lip Butters! Revlon promised us the world with these lip butters, did they deliver?

The Revlon Lip Butters are halfway between a lip balm and a lipstick. I would say these lean more towards the lipstick side. Being a lip balm aficionado, I had high hopes for the lip butters but I didn’t find them to be as hydrating as I hoped they would be.  It goes on lovely and looks nice and glossy for about an hour when the glossy look wears off however the colour remains for between 2-3 hours.

I thought the price tag of £7.99 was a little steep, and then I saw the packaging (I’m a sucker for nice packaging!). They look like a lipstick and the outside is the same colour as the product inside which I love!

The colours I got were 080 Strawberry Shortcake and 025 Peach Parfait. I don’t like the peach parfait as it has too much gold shimmer for my liking but I do really like the strawberry shortcake.

Overall, I really like the Revlon Lip Butters, they have great colour payoff and they have a nice smooth texture to them. For me, this product is a nice creamy lipstick; I wouldn’t use this as a lip balm.
