Review: Eye Of Horus Eye Pencil



Hi beautiful readers, 

Today is a review on *Eye Of Horus eye pencil in Scarab Sapphire Goddess Pencil. This pencil has a deep blue soft textured pencil with a smudger at the other end to help give that smokey eye look. I have fallen in love with felt tip liners and therefore have not used a pencil for quite some time. I applied this on my lower lash line and used the smudger to smudge the pencil to soften the look. The colour is an intense blue which looks black on intial application, its a stunning colour that gives an exotic look. The colour lasts all day without streaming, it is such a soft pencil and glides on easily. I found the smudger a god send, helping me create smokey looks in seconds.

Review: Loreal Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara!

Hi loveys!
 
Todays review is on the highly promoted Loreal Mega Volume Miss Manga mascara that promises to give "mega volume from top to bottom lashes". Did this mascara tempt me away from my holy grail Maxfactor Calorie 2000 mascara or did it leave me gutted I wasted my money?
 
This mascara is appealing to the eye with its metallic pink top and black bottom half with pink writing, it is chunky which I normally don't like as find it difficult to use, I would much prefer a slim handle but cant have it all can we! The mascara has a large plastic wand which picks up a lot of product, the wand does bend which I found odd at first but when using this I found that the flexible head helped me when applying.
The product applied easily and at first didn't make a lot of difference to my lashes, but as I applied again I was starting fall in love with the mascara! It fanned out my lashes, added volume and length, it was easy to use on my bottom lashes and put it straight in my daily use makeup bag!
 
This is certainly a winner and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try a new mascara, it is such a good mascara and is great for use from day to night as you can build layers easily.
 
I got this on offer in Boots for £4.99 but it will retail at £8.99.
 
Have you tried this mascara? if so what did you think?

Review: Healgel Eye and Face

Hello Loveys,
 
New year new you is what seems to be on a lot of peoples lips, eating healthy, heading out to the gym or buying a fitness dvd, its all about health and feeling good. A lot of people forget that you also need to ensure you are looking after your skin, one of my resolutions last year was to make sure that I had a skincare routine, a resolution I actually stuck by and am continuing! So when I get offered to review a skincare product I get super excited as love finding out about new brands products available, and more importantly I love sharing them with you so here is a new brand to me *HEALGEL, a brand created by British plastic and cosmetic surgeons, an actor, and dermatologist biochemist a varied team!
 
Healgel is an aqueous gel that "soothes, repairs and protects skin", I was lucky enough to try the following two products.
 
Healgel Face, an "anti-ageing formula for firmer, smoother and replenished skin". This creamy white gel sinks into the skin beautifully, it made my skin feel smoother and the scent reminded me of walking into an essential oil boutique, with a scent of lavender which isn't overpowering and it contains Omega oils to "nourish dehydrated skin and restore elasticity". This product also contains Arnica and Madecassoside with "powerful peptides and biodynes to initiate a uniquely soothing and collagen boosting process" with added hyaluronic acid. This sounds like a bottle of heaven for my skin! I would recommend this to you lovely blog readers, but don't expect drastic changes to the skin, it isn't a miracle gel or a product that would transform but it is a product that makes the skin feel hydrated, soft and smooth, it has a handy pump and I like the clean simple packaging. I applied this at night time and in the morning, whenever I woke after applying it my skin would appear brighter and soft so I would say give it a go as its a lovely all rounder. Priced at £48.00.

Healgel Eye a product to "lift, brighten and revive" formulated to "help diminish the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines". This gel isn't as creamy as the face product, it feels water based and I did find this product did not sink into the eye area as I hoped so felt like I was patting away for a while. The product has a subtle herb scent with a hint of lemon which was pleasant, it states it is "instantly lifting", I wouldn't say it does that as I wouldn't say it was botox in a bottle which I imagine is instant. It is a gel that I would be interested to do a before and after photo with, where I could see if it actually makes a difference to my fine lines as I didn't notice much difference, it felt cool and it was good to use as a makeup base as it wasn't sticky which I dislike with a lot of eye products. This product contains peptides, biodynes, hydraulic acid, Arnica and Madecassoside liposome which also feature in the face product, it also contains a "light diffusing element to give a youthful radiance", I would say it adds a light glow to the skin area which helps my dark circles! I would not pay £32.00 for this as it didn't wow me for that price tag, have you tried this? If so what did you think?
