Boots Cocoa Butter & Mallow Body Lotion

As the colder weather is creeping upon us, my skin is getting more dry and I need to make an extra effort to keep my skin more hydrated.

When it comes to my beauty regime I am generally quite lazy and I have only just got to grips with cleansing properly and keeping my face moisturised. I do however, often forget about the rest of my body. I have noticed my skin getting more dry. I reluctantly went on a search for a nice scented body lotion/moisturiser as I am not a fan of unscented products because I like that subtle hint of a scent when going about my daily business.

I found the Cocoa Butter and Mallow body lotion in my local Boots and I fell in love with it straight away. At the moment you can pick it up from their website here for the small price of £2.03 for a 300ml bottle. That's the sort of money you find lying around the house!

 

The lotion has a very thin consistency which makes it so easy to rub into the skin after your shower. It leaves a gorgeous cocoa-y, sweet scent on the skin which you can smell up to about 2-3 hours after application which, for something so cheap is rather impressive!

The product claims to nourish and care for dry skin, leaving it soft, smooth an moisturised which i can agree with 100%. The bottle has a handy pump dispenser which makes it easy to dispense the product from the bottle and handy to leave in your bathroom or on your dressing table.

Generally I find the Boots own brand products good quality and the Cocoa Butter & Mallow body lotion does not disappoint and has not changed my opinion one bit!

Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Waterproof Mascara

When it comes to mascara I have TONS of them. I think this is due to my everlasting desire for luscious lengthy, voluminous, thick lashes. 

I don't have one particular brand in my make-up stash as I see a mascara I like I buy it. This has, in the past set me up for a lot of disappointments but occasionally I will find a little gem in which I just HAVE to repurchase. This brings me nicely on to the Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash mascara.

I picked up the waterproof version as my intention was to take it on holiday and wear in the day and in the pool without getting hideous black make up rolling down my cheek. You all know what I mean, like when you take your make-up off after you have been in the shower and look in the mirror and you have eyeliner/mascara literally covering your whole face!

I tried this out a few times before holiday, just to test out the true waterproof-ness of it and I was very surprised at the results. So surprised, this has now become my everyday mascara.

The brush first of all is brilliant, it goes into a point at the end which makes coating the lashes in the inner corner of the eye even easier and also coating the bottom lashes is easy and you don't get those awful lines under your eye.

This mascara does have a tendency to build up quite a lot on the lashes and can occasionally give the spidery lash look. 9 times out of 10 though it creates the illusion that you have really lengthy and thick lashes its an absolute winner in my eyes.

The price is also a winning factor for me at a bargainous £3.29!!!!

You can get it from Miss Sporty, Boots (who may I add are selling it at the moment for £1.99) or Superdrug (who are also selling it at the moment for £1.99).

This is definitely a mascara I will be repurchasing as it not only makes the lashes look gorgeous, the price tag is bloody marvellous too!!!

Below is a picture of the mascara on at the END of the day!!! Still in tact ... WINNER.

What mascaras would you recommend for me to try? Any you would like me to review? Just let me know =D

Enjoy your day

Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch Nail Polish

I felt I had to pay tribute to this polish by doing a post for it all on it's own!. I first heard about this polish, watching one of the videos Louise a.k.a Sprinkle of Glitter had uploaded on to her channel on YouTube which you can find here. 

The video was all about glittery looking nails (always a winner for me) and graduated glitter.

This polish stood out for me as I liked the different sized and coloured pieces of glitter. The polish has a clear base with small silver glitter particles then larger blue and pinky/purple pieces.

As soon as I saw the video I knew I had to go and buy this polish as I love anything glittery and this just fit the bill nicely. Being Miss Sporty I was unsure as to whether it would be a good polish or not but at Louise's recommendation I thought I would give it a go. I then thought if I didn't like the polish it wouldn't matter as at £1.99 it is really good value.

Left Hand Nail = 1 Coat, Right Hand Nail = 2 Coats

Needless to say I love this polish and I have not taken it off since I purchased it. The polish has featured in my NOTD post here. As you can see demonstrated on my handy nail wheel, you can build up the glitter to achieve the depth you wish. 

I think for anyone who is able to purchase this polish that you must add this to your polish collection ASAP! It is absolutely fab and at £1.99 it is a steal. You can create so many looks with the Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch and you will not be disappointed. 

The only downside to this product (which is actually a good thing) is that the polish does not budge and I would advise you to invest in some industrial strength acetone when you are ready to remove it as being a glitter polish it is quite resistant to being removed.

Enjoy your day =D

Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick

When I first heard about these I must say I was very sceptical. Being a lover of lipgloss, I was unsure if I could be converted to a lipstick lover. Don't get me wrong I do occasionally wear the odd lipstick but I definitely didn't think I would all the time.

Boots recently had an offer on where you bought a revlon foundation you got any lip product FREE, so I thought I would give these a go.

I now have three from the range and my overall verdict ... I LOVE them!!! They stay on and do not budge! I eat, drink and talk all day and only reapply in the evening if I am going out.

At first while it is drying the product can feel slightly sticky but I just lick my lips and it is fine! The great thing is with these is that you can build up the product creating a stronger colour. I would say you need to let the first application dry before the second.

I would give these a 9/10 and would recommend them to anyone! They are currently £8.99 or 2 for £10 in Boots, well worth the money if you ask me! 

The colours I have are:

004 prime pink

070 best bubbly

060 stellar sunrise
