Clinique Chubby Sticks

 I talked about buying one of these products for AGES! I never actually got round to it, but at christmas, I got one as a present and it lived up to everything I thought it would be! I really like how moisturising they are, and I think the colour is really well pigmented.


For anyone who isn't too familiar with these products, the packaging describes them as "Moisturising Lip colour balm" and the Clinique website says: 
"Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm is a lip treatment with sheer colour that relieves dry, cracked lips and provides immediate moisturisation. The unique pencil-style applicator provides easy to apply sheer soft lip colour and rolls up for ease of use. "


I completely agree with all of Cliniques comments, these are a dream! I like them for the daytime, because sometimes lipstick is just too much, but lip gloss is not enough, and these are the perfect middle ground as far as I'm concerned.


I have very dry skin, and this does affect my lips, and they often are too cracked for me to wear lipstick, but because these act as a balm, I can wear them anytime I like, and I don't have to worry about it cracking on my lips. 

The only shade I currently own is called 'Fuller Fig', and isn't as scary as it sounds or first looks. It looks slightly brown when you first see it, but when you put it on it goes a nice shade, which I can't really explain and is apparently impossible to capture on camera, especially in badly lit uni housing! But take my word for it, it is really nice!


Clinique have recently released their latest shades for summer, and I am already eyeing up most of them, mainly because I cannot wait for an excuse to wear summer shades. If the weather fails to appear, my clothes and makeup shall just have to bring summer to Ireland on their own!

Like glitter's raining on me...

Rimmel: I ♥ Lasting Finish in 500 Disco Ball - £2.99 Superdrug

Usually I am a self confessed glitter hater! if its on clothes I will not wear it! (However I am partial to the odd tacky glittery shoe!)
However, Glitter nail polish I LOVE! This Rimmel colour (500 Disco Ball) was exactly what I needed to update my winter nail shades into spring worthy nails, it just manages to make things happier!
its not an opaque glitter, but I still do not think it needs a base colour, its looks really cute on its own.

I'm slightly afraid that it makes my nails look equivalent to that of a 7 year old girls, but I dont care! Wearing it out clubbing tonight and I'm already a bit overexcited by how cool it'll look when the lights hit it. Need a Life!

Soap & Glory "thick & fast" mascara: Review

I am a massive fan of Soap & Glory Products and I have been using their Products for a long time, I swear by their body scrubs and they make my all-time favourite Lip-gloss. Therefore, when my March issue of ELLE came through my letterbox and it contained a free soap and glory mascara I was very excited to try it out.

First major thing I love about it is the brush. I really dislike the rubber brushes on most new mascaras, and I tend to stay well clear of them, so when I realised this was one of the mascara brushes I love using I got a bit over excited (Lame, I know!)

I love the consistency of the mascara, it is runny enough that you are able to apply several coats easily, but yet, It doesnt cause my eyelashes to clump together. It is a lovely deep black and I have no negative points about the mascara itself.

However, I did find the packaging disappointing as I love looking at soap & glory packaging because I find it quirky and nice to look at, but this is a small packaging so not much room for any of the usual stuff on it I suppose.

Usually retails at £10 but free with March issue of Elle. I would definitely pay £10 for this though!
