MUA: Lipstick Review

I love MUA products. I have to admit to only having one lipstick. But my sister has 4. And I will definitely get more. I want shade 10 and 14 (bare). But haven't found them in store yet. 

Lets start off with I really like MUA products. The're all cheap and most things are pretty good. I think their lipsticks and the best. MUA quite often have 3 for 2 on almost all things and so do Superdrug. so why not pick up 3 lipsticks for £2 (well even for £3 its a bargain)

They are only £1 and are just so nice, and really good pigment and quality. They also last a long time which is good (who wants a lipstick that rubs off after 10 seconds).

They have a space at the bottom that you can twist off and there is more lippy in the bottom. Just twist and you can use a brush or your finger.

It's so cool...It makes me happy don't judge.

I have heard people compare them to M.A.C lipsticks but not owning one myself I couldn't say. They do have quite a few colours about 17 or 18 but I'd love to see more nudes. But that's just my taste.

14, 2, 10, 3, 7

Their colours range from shimmers to plain and from lights to darks so there is a colour for everyone. But pick wisely and test them using the testers. as they may come up differently then they look.

I'm loving MUA products and I think I always will, so definitely go try them and their lipsticks for yourself. 

QOTD: What's your favourite MUA product? What's your favourite shade of their lipstick?

Anatomicals: snog me senseless lip balm review

In my Asos haul I purchased this lip balm for £2.55 (absolute steal), and I have been seriously surprised by it, in a good way. Now I have to make the confession of having a mint lip balm obsession. And I mean that, I've got about 5 different mint lip balms. But lets talk about the anatomical one.

I think there packaging is such fun :)

First off for £2.55 it is such good value lets compare it to a carmex (which I also love) the anatomicals one feels bigger although its apparently about the same size. Now I can just tell that this is going to last me along time as I always have so many lip balms on the go at once. On the back it says that once opened use in 24 months so it lasts for a good 2 years. This pleases me as I don't like products that get useless after a couple of months.

It's minty.... this is almost enough for me to be happy but I love that it feels so light on your lips and leaves a tingly feeling due to the mint.
 Obviously your lips are under your nose so the mintyness smells amazing for quite a long time.

I like the applicator on this (as you can see its an angled applicator) compared to the carmex.

I like its liquidyness (can't think of a better word) because it makes it super easy to apply and absorb.

I would defiantly buy this again and want to try the 'stop cracking up lip balm' also by 'Anatomicals'.

'Anatomicals' is one of my new favourite brands with such fun packaging and fun names for everything. And i'm already looking into other products from them.

QOTD: Do you have anything from Anatomicals? Do you like it? Any suggestions for me?

The 30 day snap:

I read a post by Sprinkle of glitter, and I loved the idea. She said we were all welcome to have a go ourselves and I'm taking her up on that option.

So here is her post explaining it in detail. But the simple idea is that you upload 1 picture a day in June to document it. This sounds like fun and will encourage me to take photos due to June being a busy month for me (birthday time). 

There may be more than 1 a day, and I may or may not tell the story behind it (but I probably will). 

I would love to see you have a go at it and I hope you enjoy watching me through June. 

***And be sure to let me see your photos. leave a comment down below.***

Yes to carrots: super rich body butter

I was given a mini sample set of 'yes to carrot' products for Christmas and I have been loving them... I have done a review on the lip balm so you can go and check that out. But now for the moisturiser. dun dun dun.

Before we even begin I have to say I LOVE this and I think it is soooooo lovely that I have already ordered another one (full size). You are meant to put it all over your body but I just put it on my face.

This is mostly used up now I just thought i would show you how much I have left

I don't use this every day, I tend to use it every now and then before I go to bed (on the days when my skin feels sad). I always use it after the shower and when I wake up the next morning my face feels so soft and just lovely. This soaks in really well and it smells amazing. In fact my mum came into my room after I had used it and asked 'what that lovely smell was' and I just love how soft it makes my skin and hydrated my face feels. Also I feel as though when my face feels this soft I feel more awake and ready to go.

You only need a bit. A bit here and there goes a long way. My sampler is 50ml and it has lasted me for about 6 months and a full size is £10-13 and 250ml so about 5 times the size. Yay

*I would definitely suggest for you all to go and buy it so go now. =] *

QOTD: Have you tried it? Will you? What is your favourite face cream?

A day in the life?

**This is a chatty post you have been warned**

Before we start this isn't really a day in the life, it's more of a post about other peoples lives... (if that even makes any sense at all)

For the past year I have to admit that I've been really into both vloggers and bloggers, hence me starting my own blog. And to me there lives always look so put together and almost perfect. (Do you ever feel like that?)

And I almost feel a bit bad about my life... especially on the days when nothing goes right and somehow I always seem to feel ill on those days to round everything off.

I don't even know what this post is, but I guess it's just to make anyone that may feel a bit down, well better and to just tell anyone who is reading this to remember that EVERYONE has down days even the people who's lives look perfect whether that is on screen on in real life.

QOTD: Do you ever feel down when you see other peoples lives looking so perfect?

April Favourites

Wow the time has come again for me to do my may favourites. I possibly won't do one of these every month on account of not using that many different things every month but I hope you enjoy.

First I have been loving the 'Garnier skin natural pure Active 3 in 1 face scrub' wow that was a long name. You simply wet your face and hands. Squeeze a little out and scrub all over your face. I like to leave it about 4-5 minutes while it gets harder and then wash off. I have found that this has really helped to control any breakouts and it makes my face feel so soft afterwards as it scrubs all the dead skin off.

This month I have also been loving the 'Garnier Essentials hydrating day care face moisturiser' I really enjoy this after I scribed and washed my face or after a shower. I love to hydrate my face and keep it all smooth. Now although it does soak in pretty quickly I like to use this at night time as it leaves my face quite shiney until it does soak in. This is great and I think I payed £2 for it in a sale but the normal price is only about £5. I this this is really good and it glides on so smoothly and leaves my face feeling refreshed and ready to relax and go to bed.

sorry my camera hates photo graphing green things. sorry 

I have been loving the body shop lip balm in passion berry and think I may review it in full another time. But one of the reasons I love it so much is the smell. (comment down below if yo have smelled it)

I have also been loving Instagram as I have been doing the #aprilchallange so you post a picture everyday of the thing it tells you to here's a picture if you would like to check mine out you can @Alice_leonard1 I have been loving that you can keep up with people whoever they are and see what they are up to. I also like it as I love taking photos and I feel that this is a great way to do so. And to share them with anyone who wants to look. (as my iPod is never very far away)

Last one I promise. Tv show I have been loving is broad church although its finished for now (coming soon though apparently) I watched the very first episode and I needed to find out the killer. I have been hooked and although at the end got a little angry at how slow it seemed. But after the final episode I looked back and thought it was pretty good. 

So that's it for this month I hope you enjoyed it feel free to follow me on Instagram and follow my blog I would love it thanks for reading. xxx Alice
