Empties Part 1

Hello Lovelies!




How have y'all been?

I have just realised I have never done an Empties post before.I love seeing posts and videos from fellow bloggers and youtubers  about products they have finished. I think its such a fun thing to do since we always show what we have bought why not show off the products that we have loved and finished? In most cases I tend to pass on products that I dislike and dont work for me to family&friends. Anyways I already have 5 empties posts lined up for you guys, I decided to split them so that I dont overwhelm you with one post lol

Clarins Daily Energizer Cream for Normal/ Dry Skin

Ensure that your skin feels supple and hydrated with the Clarins Daily Energizer Cream, a radiance-boosting cream for dry to normal skin.This luxurious, thick formulation is ideal for those with drier skin types, delivering targeted and intense hydration to the complexion. Skin if left feeling exceptionally soft and supple, and perfectly prepped for makeup application.With its energising dose of Vitamin C and Alchemilla, minor imperfections are reduced and skin is more even and perfected. Microcirculation in the face is boosted, making for a glowing complexion.Apply to the face and neck following an application of the Daily Energizer Wake-Up Booster in the morning, and after cleansing in the evening. Recommended for women in their 20's

Ingredients: Vitamin C, Alchemilla, and Turmeric Extracts reduce minor imperfections and Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract which boosts microcirculation

*Winner of Best Everyday Moisturiser- Red Best of Beauty Awards 2012

*Winner of Best Day Cream- Elle Beauty Awards 2011
- I tend to go for all products that claim to energize,brighten or give some sort of glow. I have been using this Clarins Daily Energizer  cream on/off for 3years and I love it. I always try other moisturisers but always come back. The smell is quite lovely and refreshing something apricot/citrus like I cant quite figure it ha!.. It makes my skin soft and hydrated, while being light enough and a good base for make-up. Its very light and non greasy on my normal/combo skin and another good thing is it doesnt clog pores. I think it also helps keep my skin blemish free and brightens up my complexion so I never look dull when Im using it. As with all products some people may break out due to the scent it has so I recommend getting samples if you have sensitive skin



                        Lancome Mousse Eclat Self Foaming Cleanser
Lancôme's Mousse Éclat foam activates with water to create an effective cleanser formulated with natural active ingredients to help exfoliate the skin, while preserving its youthful radiance. Its fresh formula gently cleanses away make–up and impurities to clarify the complexion, leaving your skin soft, radiant and healthy looking, and is suitable for normal to combination skin types.
- I really do love this cleanser I never had bad skin when I used it the whole of 2012. I wouldnt reach for it during winter months though as it can be a little drying but for the warmer months it perfect for me. I have a review of it it Here. Will be repurchasing when I have used up other cleansers Im currently using

 
                                  Habibi Organic Vanilla&Jasmine Body Balm

Indian Jasmine is blended with Tahitian Vanilla and Vanilla Bean, to create this intoxicating fragrance. Its blended with our Ultra emolient body balm formula to leave you soft and scented from Head to Toe

DIRECTIONS- Apply anywhere on the body in need of moisture

Not for use on face!

INGREDIENTS

*Organic Raw Shea Butter

*Organic Raw Honey

*Organic Coconut Oil

*Organic Jasmine Petal Oil

*Organic Tahitian Vanilla Oil

*Organic Vanilla Bean Oil

*Organic Grapeseed Oil

*Organic Sesame Oil

*Rosewater

Organic Essential oils of Lavender, Chamomile, Vitamin E. Fragrance

-I really love this body balm its the best I have used to date. I have the ever so beautiful,friendly&helpful  Shahada  to thank for this one. She is one of my favourite bloggers/Makeup Artist ever. Need I say more you guys need to check her out if you havent. Back to the Body Balm -Not only does it smell divine but it leave my skin soft,supple and radiant and smelling delish. I really need more of this stuff hehe. 

Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction Red Plum&Freesia  Smoothing Body Scrub

-A passionate romance of succulent red plum and sweet freesia.
Experience the luxury of fragrant cleansing. Dual-action sugar scrub gently exfoliates as it purifies. Lather on wet skin, focusing on rough spots, then rinse off for an all-over glow. Skin feels soft, smooth and touchable. I really like Victoria Secrets (who doesnt?) and I could literally live in that store everyday lol. I do love this scrub,it smells lovely and does the job so whats not to love



Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

Rub Rub Rub is a bit of a variation on the normal shower gel. For one, it’s so thick we put it into a tub for handy scooping in the shower. Secondly, it’s a bright blue, supremely softening, exfoliating sea salt shower scrub to revive your skin. Sea salt is extra cleansing, mineral-rich and softening for the hair and body; you can even use it as a shampoo. Our rubby scrub is startlingly refreshing, with a dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossoms for a light, blossom-scented wash and smoother skin

* Ingredients- Mineral Rich sea salt and Organic Lemon Juice

*Smells lovely because it has mimosa, jasmine and orange flower blossom absolutes

- This is a really good scrub,Lush has never disappointed me with their products. Rub Rub Rub is very cooling on the skin. The smell is quite refreshing/masculine like and makes my skin really soft after every use. I have also used it in my hair and it was just as good. I use this most Sundays when Im pampering myself with masks and all that. If you looking for a body scrub I would recommend giving this a go next time you pop into a Lush store

WHAT PRODUCTS HAVE YOU FINISHED

HAVE YOU GOT AN EMPTIES POST&LINKS TO THEM?

Have a great week

Stay Beautiful &Blessed

Much Love

Review: Lancome Mousse Eclat Cleanser

Hello Lovelies!





Today I bring you a review of the Lancome Mousse Eclat an Express Clarifying Self-foaming Cleanser. I have had this cleanser for almost 4months now and its high time I put my 2cents in

Normal to Combination skin

Rediscover purity. Your skin breathes,naturally and beautiful

The light-as-air foam activates with water to create a truly luxurious cleanser. Its fresh formula gently cleanses away makeup and impurities to clarify the complexion leaving your skin soft,radiant and healthy looking

This clarifying mouse cleanser water-activates into a rich foam to gently cleanse, revitalize and clarify the complexion.

To enhance its cleansing and clarifying action, the Lancôme Laboratories have formulated MOUSSE ÉCLAT with highly effective, natural active ingredients to help exfoliate the skin, while preserving its youthful radiance: Papaya, known for its hydrating properties, helps to moisturize and soften the skin, while Pineapple, known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, helps to calm and soothe.

 USAGE: Daily, morning and evening.
1. Moisten your face with water.
2. Apply the cleanser all over your moistened face in light strokes working from the centre of the face outwards, being sure to avoid the eye area.
3. Use small circular movements all over the face to cleanse, paying particular attention to the T-zone.
4. Rinse with water.

Packaging

I love that this cleanser comes in  a white pump bottle making it easier to use. The pump helps in controlling the amount that you want. The bottle is 200ml  and will last you maybe a good 4months or so using it daily as you only need a very small amount

Skin Type

This cleanser according to Lancome is catered to Normal/Combo skin which is just perfect for me. I have normal skin overall with an oily t-zone.

Scent

The scent is very fresh and slightly fruity which Im unable to really pick up but its something lovely

Does it work?

I always fuss about cleansers that I use on my skin. Im always looking for a cleanser that balances my normal/combo type without stripping it dry and breaking me out. This product self activates into a light airy foam when it is pumped out and lathers nicely on a wet face,it rinses quickly and does not leave any residue. The cleanser is very gentle on the skin,I feel it does the job and leaves my skin clean,smooth and brighter. The Lancome Mousse Eclat did not break me out or irritate my skin at any point since I started using it. It does a good job of removing dirt and makeup although I always use wipes prior to using the Lancome cleanser

Price

At a price tag of £21.00 it doesnt come cheap but hey ho it does the job properly and last a good 4months plus with everyday use.

Would I buy Again and Recommend

Yes,yes yes I would  recommend giving it a try because its a good cleanser. Im definitely going to repurchase again when I finish my current one. Its become a firm favourite of mine

Where to buy

Lancome website,Lancome counters at Boots,House of Fraser,John Lewis, Selfridges,FeelUnique website etc depending on where you live.

Have you tried this Cleanser or any Lancome Cleansers

What is your favourite Cleanser

Have a wonderful day Chicas

Stay Beautiful&Blessed

Much Love

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Foundation Review!

Hello Sweeties!






Today I bring you another review of the second foundation I bought from Lancome in March. The last time I made a post about how I was loving it,many of you asked me to do a review so look no further here it is!

LANCOME TEINT IDOLE ULTRA 24H SHADE #10 PRALINE £27.00

24H Wear&Comfort. Retouch Free. Divine Perfection SPF5

24h of wear for a divine,lasting perfection

Following 8years of research, Lancome unveils its first 24h wear foundation for lasting perfection.

With its new EternalSoft technology,Teint Idole Ultra 24h defeats all challenges. **Retouch free, Complexion stays perfectly sublime.

Shine free. Flawless.Unified

24H OF DIVINE COMFORT

In perfect affinity with the skin Teint Idole Ultra 24h is irresistibly comfortable. Its new,blendable and fresh texture is divine and leaves the complexion perfectly smooth,velvety and matte with no powdery effect.

Oil- and transfer free foundation

Sweat and friction resistant

Without mask effect

Suitable for all skin types,even sensitive

Dermatologically tested

Non-comedogenic

WHAT DO I THINK????

I absolutely love this foundation- Coverage is medium buildable which is perfect for me as I am not a fan of full coverage foundations. This foundation doesnt cake up or leave fine lines around my mouth like some foundations do. I have had compliments on my skin from family and friends saying my skin looks great and I look flawless,I was moved by the comments seriously but had already convinced myself I look amazing from the first day I wore it alone in the house lol

Although Lancome states that this is a 24hour foundation I cannot backup that claim as I never wear foundation for that long anyways who does? I  have worn this foundation without a primer and setting powder from 8am in the morning when I left the house to 10pm at night when I get back home now thus a total of 14hours and this foundation did not move. I have normal,combination skin with oily T-Zone I did not touch up my face,I never do anyway my makeup usually  stays in place all day!

PROS

*Long lasting

*Doesnt look like a mask

*Feels very light on the skin

*Looks natural

*Offers medium buildable coverage

* Can be used by all skin types

* Blends effortlessly

*Doesnt cake up

*Doesnt oxidize

*Variety of shades is phenomenal 18 released in the UK and 28 in the USA

*Doesnt clog pores

*Gives a velvety matte finish which is not powdery

CONS

*Has rose fragrance may not be suitable for those with sensitive skin

*May need primer&setting powder if you have oily skin

*Less shades released in the UK but Im not bothered as I found my perfect match shade

OVERALL

I love it so much to give it holy grail satus. It matches me perfectly and did not break me out. Love how its long lasting with no need for touch ups.Would recommend at least getting samples before commiting to a full bottle as what works for my skin may not work for yours 

Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation Review!

Hello Sweeties!






I have  fallen head over heels for Lancome foundations. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on their Teint Miracle foundation which is just amaze by the way.

When searching for foundation life usually gets complicated. Finding the right brand that makes the right shade,coverage,staying power and one that matches your skin type can be stressful.

I found love with Lancome Teint Miracle foundation beginning of 2012. I have never really bothered with their foundies as they didnt cater to women of colour but im so pleased that they now do. I love it so much that since getting the first sample I have pushed away my Nars sheer glow to the back of my makeup drawers no lie!

I prefer foundations that give light to medium coverage. Foundations that look natural and make your skin shine through. I love foundations that dont oxidise,feel heavy and cake up un me and Lancome Teint miracle is just that type for me.

Why do  I love it you may ask?

Teint Miracle is very light on the skin but will even your skintone giving you that flawless natural look. It will make your skin rook radiant. Texture wise its very hydrating as it has 40% water content. The lighter shades come with SPF15 whereas the darker shades for us woc have SPF apparently dark skin tends to look ashy with higher SPF. Comes in a nice glass bottle and a pump,it does looks classy on my dressing table

To get the best of this foundation I wouldnt set it with any powder as that will destroy the radiance/glowy part of it. I never set my foundations with powder anyway as I love glowy/dewy looks

Pros:

*Feels very light on the skin

*Gives a natural look

*Offers light to medium coverage

*Did not break me out

*Skin looks radiant

*Doesnt oxidize

*Doesnt clog pores

*Has SPF

Cons:

I dont really have nothing negative to say about this foundation except that people with very sensitive skin may react to the scent of roses that it has.

*If you have severe acne this will not cover all your spots as it offers light to medium coverage

May not suit people with sensitive or oily skin

Overall

I really do love this foundation its  texture&coverage is similar to my  Nars Sheer glow ,I would recommend getting samples if you love foundations that feel light on the skin and look natural whilst giving you a dewy/glowy look

* Probably suits people with dry,normal and combination skin

My Skin&Shade

I have normal combination skin which can be sensitive to fragranced foundation but luckily this was not the case with Teint Miracle.

Im between NC45-47 in mac foundations and  for a long time I have struggled to find foundation that match my yellow undertones as I tend to fall in between shades in  several brands.  In Lancome Teint Miracle Im shade Beige Praline #10 which matches me perfectly I guess.

Hope you found this review helpful

Whats your fave foundation at the moment????

Have a wonderful day Chicas

Stay Beautiful&Blessed

Much Love
