Nails, Face, Eyes & Lashes

Hi my loves it's lovely to have you here at Beautiful Addictions. I have four product reviews for you today so I will get cracking.

Rimmel Stronger Base Coat ~ £1.98 for 12ml

I have had this base coat for absolutely ages and although there is still some left in the bottom it's a little hard to get out. This looks like a baby pink shade, but it comes across clear on my nails. I have nothing bad to say about this base coat other than the brush could be a little longer to get all of the product from the bottom of the bottle easier. I always use base coat with polish, but my nails are still yellow stained so if you have any stain removal, prevention and/or whitening tips please let me know :)

RMK Make Up Base ~ £28.00 for 30ml

I received this product in my May 2012 JolieBox. This is a very light make-up base suitable for all skin types. The formula is quite runny and feels like a refreshing moisturiser to apply. I haven't noticed a difference to the length of how long my make-up lasts to be honest.

Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen Jet Black

I have loved this pen liner from Eyeko for years now. I would certainly recommend this for ease of control when creating a feline flick on the eyes. These used to retail at £5.50 each, but now the Eyeko eyeliner pens appear to be called Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. I think the shade range is the same of Black, Purple, Brown & Blue. These retail at £10.00 each. I remember asking Eyeko on Twitter when these were free with a magazine if there was a difference between the Graffiti Eyeliner Pen and the Skinny Liquid Eyeliner. They said that the formula was improved. I wish I had picked one up now. For the Skinny Liquid Eyeliner click here or if you want to try the Graffiti Eyeliner Pen try Ebay or Amazon.

Bellapierre Lash Building Black Mascara ~ £9.99 for 15ml

I received this in my April 2012 JolieBox. This was a really deep black pigment. This made my lashes look thicker and longer, but not as long as other mascaras have. The writing on the packaging has almost all rubbed off as you can see which is annoying if you wan to repurchase products.

So that's it for these four product reviews. Let me know your favourite nail base coat, face primer, eyeliner pen and mascara in the comments below with your reasons why.

Love to you all

FOTN: Ardell Demi Wispies Review

Hi once again my cherubs. I hope you are having a fabulous Sunday. I was sent some Ardell Demi Wispies in Black for free to try out some time ago from Kilpatrick PR. I wanted to wait until I was going on a night out before using them as I am no expert at applying false lashes so if I actually got them to work I wanted to be able to show them off.

Photo taken after use. I apologise for this as in my excitement of trying them out I realised it would have probably been better for me to take the photo before use, whoops!

I am a bit of a nervous nelly when it comes to applying false lashes as I don't use them often enough too feel confident I suppose. The last time I tried was Xmas 2011 for a work do and lets just say it didn't go well. My eyes were streaming and they just wouldn't stick. It might have been the lash glue or the lashes I'm not sure, but I had to re-apply my whole make-up without lashes in 10 mins.

So now onto the review. I removed the lashes from the pack and placed them along my lash line to see if they were the correct width for my eye. They were fine, but had they been too wide I would have snipped them a bit from the inner corners to make them the correct size while keeping the sexy feline flick at the outer corners. 

I then bent the ends inwards towards each other to help the band curve into more of an eye shape. This set came with lash adhesive so I squeezed some onto the cardboard packaging and used a cotton bud to apply it in a thin layer along the false lash line. 

I waited for about 30 seconds and with my tweezers I maouvered them onto my natural lash line and pressed them against it with my tweezers gently to help them stick. I did get some glue on one of my eyelids, but this was easily removed by just peeling it off.

I applied my Ardell lashes before applying any other make-up so that if it was a disaster the rest of my make-up wouldn't be ruined. This was the best tip the lovely Celebrity Make-Up Artist Louise Page gave to me at the Speed Beauty Event. I think this took the panic out of applying them and so they were a success, thanks Louise :) I also went for a green smokey eye rather than black/grey to make the lashes stand out. Louise gave me the advice of not using too dark a colour so that the lashes would be emphasised rather than disguised. I went through the false and my natural lashes with mascara after applying the rest of my make-up to help them intertwine and look a bit more together.

I removed the lashes with a bit of moisturiser at the end of the night and peeled off the glue so that I can hopefully re-use them. I gave them a gentle wipe over with a face wipe also to get some of the mascara off.

I love the flick at the outer edge

They did seem to sit slightly lower on one eye than the other, but I think that may be just down to my eye shapes.

I look like I have just seen a ghost, ha ha

Here is a link to the Black Demi Wispies on the Ardell website, Link. My box says Natural Style, but most of the styles I found on boots.com, superdrug.com and onestopbeauty.co.uk say Fashion Lashes.

I had a fabulous night out with my friend. We had dinner and drinks, but it all went too quickly. We will just have to do it again soon I guess so that I can have another go applying some more falsies ;) I got complimented on my eyes when I was out too. We were in a pub and the person was drunk, but it still counts right, ha ha.

Many thanks to Kilpatrick PR for sending these to me to try out.

What are your favourite falsies? Any more tips for a newbie :)

Love to you all

 

LOTD: St George's Day Inspired

Hey Loves. Kiss kiss to you all. With St George's Day coming up on Monday I felt like applying a red hot lip shade. Here is a wee pic of the lips I have been wearing today.

For these luscious red lips I firstly applied my NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese to my cupids bow. This along with my pale complexion acted as the white background of the flag, ha ha ;). To prevent the red colour from bleeding I applied my E.L.F. Studio Lip Lock Pencil around the edges, except where I had applied the Jumbo Eye Pencil. For the actual lips I applied my Eyeko Liptastik Glossy Lip Pen in Lip Lover, blotted, reapplied and blotted again. I then went around the lips once again with the Lip Lock Pencil.

Here are links to the products mentioned:

NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Lip Pencil (Cottage Cheese): £4.50 ~ Link :), $4.50 ~ Link :), $3.50 ~ Link :)

E.L.F. Studio Lip Lock Pencil : £3.50 ~ Link :), $3.00 ~ Link :)

Eyeko Liptastik Glossy Lip Pen (Lip Lover): $10.00 ~ Link :)

This lip lock pencil really does stop colours feathering. Such a bargain. I love this bold red shade. It stays glossy on me for a couple of hours and then turns into more of a stain that is still very pigmented, but a little more matte. It's not drying though. 

What bold lips are you rocking right now? Link me up in the comments below.

Love to you all

March 2012 JolieBox

Hey, it's me again. I thought it was meant to be a horrible day of rain today, but the sun is out and I'm not complaining. My March JolieBox did not show up for ages after I was told it had been dispatched so they sent me out another one which is why I am a little late posting about this. So here are the products in this box which is named 'Put A Spring In Your Step'.

Left To Right:

Yardley Luxury Body Wash (English Lavender) ~ £3.50 For 200ml

Link :)

The Information:

A Luxury Body Wash containing Q10 that cleanses, nourishes and moisturises the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and delicately fragranced with English Lavender. Also available in two other fragrances: Royal English Daisy and Peony.

Application:

Use in the bath or shower to cleanse the body.

My Thoughts:

This is a full size product which is great. The scent reminds me of an aromatherapy massage oil. Very relaxing.

Davines Authentic Moisturising Face/Hair/Body Balm ~ £17.40

Link :)

The Information:

A natural, conditioning, moisturising, organic, Safflower Oil base balm with a treble action: make-up remover for the face, hair balm and body moisturiser. Contains ingredients such as jojoba and sesam oil.

Application:

Face – Apply a small amount to face with cotton wool, avoiding contacts with eyes. Rinse with warm water.

Hair – Apply to towel dried hair. Leave for two minutes, comb the hair and rinse well.

Body – Can be applied to dry or damp skin. Leave for two minutes and then rinse.

My thoughts:

This is full size also which is fab. If you know me you know that I like multi-tasking products. Products like this are great for people who travel. This product has a herbal scent. I am a bit confused that it's described as a body moisturiser yet you are meant to rinse it off?

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner (Emerald Green) ~ £9.50 / €10.00 / $14.00

Link :)

The Information:

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner Pencils for precise definition and intense colour. Line and define for long-lasting colour. The wax based, creamy formula allows for smooth application. Even when you sharpen the pencil to the smallest nub the silver handle remains for longer use. Available in six different shades.

Application:

Use light strokes close to the lash line for everyday definition.  Hold pencil on its side for thicker lines and a dramatic look.

My Thoughts:

I think this should have come with cardboard packaging as it did when I received one of these pencils in my January 2012 GlossyBox: The Valentine's Day Edition. You can see that post here. I could not see the name of this shade on the pencil. Maybe I missed it, but I would describe it as an emerald green. When I checked the website that is what it is called. This is a full size product also.

This is a gorgeous shade that I think will make my eyes pop. So pretty.

LCN Nail Polish From The Free Your Mind 2012 Collection ~ £5.50 For 8ml

Link :)

The Information:

Discover the new Free Your Mind Collection by LCN! Fast drying nail polishes available in four dreamy, shimmery, on-trend pastel shades. No.330 Free Spirit (8ml), No.331 Free Your Mind (8ml), No. 332 Sky High (8ml) & No.333 Dreamcatcher (8ml).

Application:

For best results use a base coat followed by two coats of your favourite colour and finish with a top coat.

My Thoughts:

I could not see a shade name on the bottle so I'm not sure which one I have. I can not look now as I am not writing this post while at home, but I will check to see if any of the numbers above are on my bottle. If anyone knows please tell me :)

I would describe this as a beautiful golden, creamy caramel with pink, purple and orange shimmers. This is a full size product as well.

JolieBox Mirror

The Information:

A dainty compact mirror that will fit perfectly in your make-up bag.

My Thoughts:

It's always nice to get little extras in life. I think this mirror will fit snugly into my purse for on the go glances.

To top it all off JolieBox have also added the JOLIEMAG to their boxes.

The magazine includes information on products, spring releases, interviews, a manicure step-by-step guide, a www.loveheartsandcrosses.co.uk discount code and information about the JolieBox team, including one of my most favourite Vloggers/Bloggers Anna. You can find Anna's blog and YouTube channel on her Twitter profile @ViviannaMakeup

So overall I like my March JolieBox. I will definitely use all of the products. I love the eyeliner and nail polish shades. 

If you are interested in finding out more about JolieBox please see this Link :) 

What products did you receive in your March JolieBox? Did you like them? Did your box arrive late? 

Love to you all

EOTD: Double Duty

Hey Beauties. I hope you are all doing really well. I had a little go at trying out one of the shades from my Front Cover Cosmetics Micro Rainbow Eyes Palette and these are the results.

This palette contains 9 domed baked powders, an eye shadow applicator, a shadow liner and a gold sleeve. The idea is that you can either use the powders as eye shadows or use the shadow liner to wet the powder and apply as a liquid eyeliner. I think this compact is so cute. It's a nice size, has a range of colours and a good sized mirror. My friend bought me this set for my birthday this year. You can find that post here. I believe my friend would have picked this up around Xmas time as my birthday is in January so unfortunately I think you will no longer find this product in Boots Pharmacy, boots.com or frontcovercosmetics.com. I have however found a few on Ebay, Link :)

On the left is the shadow liner that came with this palette and on the right is a product from Eyeko named Magic Liquid Eyeliner. This Eyeko product basically does the same thing with any eye shadow. Eyeko no longer appear to sell this product on their website, but you can find it at asos.com, Link :) and cherryculture.com, Link :)

Shadow Liner Applicators As Above

Swatches using the bottom far left purple shade of the palette, as in my EOTD photos. Left: swatched as an eye shadow, Centre: swatched with the Front Cover Cosmetics Shadow Liner & Right: swatched with the Eyeko Magic Eyeliner

This colour is very buildable as an eye shadow. I think the Front Cover Cosmetics shadow liner does a good job in transforming the shadow into a liner, but I think the Eyeko Magic Liquid Eyeliner makes the shadow appear slightly more pigmented. I rubbed my finger over the liner swatches when they had dried and neither of them budged. My eyeliner stayed put all day. I think the idea behind these products is impressive. If you want a certain type of colour eyeliner for a look, but you know you wouldn't wear it as often as say black or brown then just convert your eye shadow. I wouldn't expect the same kind of pigmentation you get from your typical liquid eyeliner though. You need to to keep building the product up to get the desired effect. I would suggest to wipe your liner applicator before you dip it back into it's container each time as you will be changing between colours.

I would definitely say to give either of these products a try. I think they are great value and will save you taking extra products out with you, especially if you tend to travel a lot.

Have you found any products that have a multi-purpose I should know about? Do you think these shadow liners are something you would like to try?

Love to you all

FOTD: 60's Inspired

Today I have a 60's make-up inspired FOTD post for you. I didn't have the 60's in mind when I applied this look, but that's what I think of when I look at the photos.

Products Used

Rose & Co Apothecary Rose Petal Salve

E.L.F. Studio Flawless Finish Foundation SPF 15 Oil Free (Sand)

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Ultimate 16 Hour Wear Concealer (Light 2)

E.L.F. Studio Translucent Matte Powder

MUA Eye Shadow (Shade 2 Pearl)

MUA Eye Liner (Snow White)

17 Clear Definition Mascara

Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen (Jet Black)*

Jane Iredale Purelash Extender & Conditioner

Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Volume & Length Mascara (Black)**

NYX Round Lipstick (Harmonica)

E.L.F. Studio Makeup Mist & Set***

*My love for this eyeliner is still going strong. I previously reviewed this eyeliner in this post.

**I previously reviewed this mascara which was sent to me for free. To see that review check out the link here.

***Please check out this haul post for a review of this product, Link :) 

I use my MUA Eye Shadow (Shade 2 Pearl) quite a lot, but I wish I could stop the creasing. I have tried it with and without primer. How do you prevent your frosty eye shadow's from creasing?

I really love my NYX Round Lipstick (Harmonica). I think it's a lovely pop of colour, but it does show up every line and go a bit patchy. I am thinking of trying it with an eye crayon base first to try and prevent this. If not I may have to use it over the top of other lipstick's. How do you make shades like this sit on the lips better?

This is my most favourite look I have created lately? What are your favourite type of looks and why?

Love to you all

FOTD: Eyeko Simple Winged Eyeliner/Chanel Foundation Review

Hello you beautiful people. I hope you are all having a good February so far. Although the make-up is simple in this FOTD I think it's something everyone can wear and it's an easy look to do.

This is a very wearable look that can be worn day or night, day in day out. Perhaps just update it for night time with a bold lip? As you can see I just drew a quite thin line along the top lashes into a small flick. For this I used my Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen (Jet Black). This is my favourite eyeliner by far. I can get a precise, fuss-free line without much effort using this product. Eyeko have updated their website and although they no longer sell this exact product this liner looks almost identical, Link :) My Graffiti eyeliner really does last well throughout the day. Their updated 'Skinny Liquid Eyeliner' retails at £10.00. I will be giving it a go when my Graffiti Eyeliner Pen runs out.

The foundation I used for this look was a sample from a magazine. It is Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup SPF 10 (30 Beige). I actually did quite like this foundation on application. I would say it has a medium/full coverage. It lasted well on my skin throughout the day without drying up or going patchy and it didn't feel heavy. I wore this look for about 13 hours so I did not wear it for the 15 hours it claims to last, but that's still impressive I think. I do quite like this shade on me as I think it makes me look like I have a slight glow. If I were to buy this I'm not sure if I would look for a lighter shade. What do you think? There are so many shades to choose from which is great. This foundation retails on the Boots Pharmacy website for £36.00, Link :) I'm not sure if I would buy this instead of my Max Factor Ageless Elixir 2 In 1 Foundation as that is just £12.99 on the Boots Pharmacy website, Link :) and does a great job for me. A difference of about £23.00 is a lot of money.

Other products that I used for this look are:

MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Enriched Moisturising Facebase

Rose & Co Apothecary Rose Petal Salve

 

E.L.F. Studio Complete Coverage Concealer (Light)

Primark Ta Ta For Now Magic Undereye Concealer (Light)

E.L.F. Studio Translucent Matte Powder

E.L.F. Eyelid Primer (Sheer)

HD Brows Foxy Palette (Shade Nude - On The Eyes)

 MUA Eye Liner (Snow White)

17 Clear Definition Mascara

Jane Iredale Purelash Extender & Conditioner

 

Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Volume & Length Mascara (Black)*

 

E.L.F. Studio Makeup Mist & Set 

 

 

 

*This product was previously sent to me for free and I have already reviewed it in this post here :)

 

 

 

Are there any simple, go-to looks that you apply regularly when you just don't have time to think or just don't want too much going on?

 

 

Love to you all
 
 

January 2012 GlossyBox: Valentine's Day Edition

Hello Sweetie Pies. How bad will the snow be that is coming? I'm sure everyone is talking about this today. I'm part excited as I think it looks so pretty and part unhappy as it's just hassle when you need to get about. I will be window watching later I'm sure.

Now on to the post for today. I am going to show you the products that came with my January GlossyBox. This box is called the 'Valentine's Day Edition'. 

I love, love, love this hot pink GlossyBox. I would love it if this was the permanent colour.

The pink heart replacing the usual GlossyBox sticker is so cute.

Yes I did take these pictures with the print in the lid upside down, doh!

All the products.

Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner (Midnight Blue), Link :)

The Information:

Eyeko SKINNY EYELINER Pencils for precise definition and intense colour. Line and define for long-lasting colour. The wax based, creamy formula allows for smooth application. Even when you sharpen the pencil to the smallest nub the silver handle remains for longer use.

Application:

Use light strokes close to the lash line for everyday definition. Hold pencil on its side for thicker lines and a dramatic look. Smoke-out the shade by using a brush or Q-tip to blend and soften the line for an effortlessly glamorous look. 

Ingredients:

Ricinus Communis Oil, Microcrystalline Wax, Paraffin, Petrolatum, 2-Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Lanolin, BHT, Propylparaben, Mica. MAYCONTAIN: C177891 (Titanium Dioxide), C177499 (Iron Oxides), C177007 (Ultramarine), C177510 (Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide), C177288 (Chromium Oxide Green), C119140 (FD&C Yellow 5), C116035 (FD&C Red 40), C142092 (FD&C Blue 1).

This eyeliner is very smooth and intensely dark. It's nice to have a dark blue shade rather than the usual black. I thought the very long handle was a bit strange at first glance, but as described in the information above it is meant to be there so that sharpening becomes easier when you near the end of the pencil. This retails at £9.50 which I think is a bit pricey. I am looking forward to trying out this shade though. I think the blue will make my eyes look a bit whiter and brighter.

Left: Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream, Link :) & Right: Clarins Extra Firming Night Cream, Link :)

Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream

The Information:

A firming day cream that contains revitalising White Tea and Succory Dock-Cress, clinically-proven to help visibly reduce the signs of ageing lifting, toning and smoothing the skin for noticeable results. Infusing skin with firming benefits that are immediate and long-lasting. Day after day, skin appears younger as facial contours are tightened and look more defined. Lines and wrinkles are noticeably minimised.

Application:

The GlossyBox website directs you to apply this every night to a thoroughly cleansed face and neck, but as this is the day cream I guess you would do this in the day.

Ingredients:

Stimulen: ensures protection for immune cells and enhances skin renewal. Euglena, Hop: energise and firm. Soft Wheat proteins: immediate 'lift' effect. Clarins new Anti-Pollution Complex (White Tea, Succory DockCress, Glycofilm): protects against free radicals and the harmful effects of the environment.

This has a pleasant scent and appears to be a nice cream. It feels quite cooling when I tried it on my hand too. This says it retails at £46.00 on the GlossyBox website for 50ml, but it says £46.50 on the information leaflet? I am looking forward to trying this, but the price does put me off buying it in the future. I will give it a go though.

Clarins Extra Firming Night Cream

The Information:

Clarins’ intensive night-time skin renewal complex including soothing Rosemary, firming Alfalfa and revitalising Glistin “lifts” and tones while you sleep for a firmer, more luminous complexion upon waking. Complements the action of Extra-Firming Day Cream smoothing lines and wrinkles, defining facial contours and promoting noticeably younger-looking skin.

Application:

Apply every night to thoroughly cleansed face and neck.

Ingredients:

Glistin: helps maintain the skin's nerve endings, youthful properties, regulates skin's functions and enhances cellular renewal. Alfalfa: firms, repairs and enhances collagen synthesis. Rosemary: soothes and relaxes features. Silicon and Vitamin E: protects against free radicals and helps collagen fibres maintain their supple aspect.

I tried this last night and it feels nice on the skin. It also has a pleasant scent. This retails at £48.00 for 50ml. Although this feels like a nice cream I'm not sure if I would buy this in the future because of the price.

Fab Body Moisturizer, Link :)

The Information:

Formulated with ingredients to nourish and restore, it will improve skin barrier function and locks in moisture after bathing. Allergy-tested, fragrance free, dermatologist recommended and contains no harsh chemicals. Safe for sensitive skin.

Application:

I would suggest using body moisturiser at least once a day after each bath/shower. 

Ingredients:

FAB Antioxidant Booster, a powerful blend of botanical antioxidants to combat free radicals and protect the against photo aging. Dimethicone protects skin. Shea Butter nourishes and moisturises. Colloidal Oatmeal soothes and heals rough, dry skin.

On my information leaflet that came with my GlossyBox there was information about the Fab Gentle Body Wash and not this product? When I looked on the GlossyBox website the information about the Fab Body Moisturizer told information about the face moisturizer instead? I can't really smell any scent with this product, but that's probably because it's safe for sensitive skin. This retails at £13.00 for 226.8g on the Boots website.

  

Murad Hybrids Skin Perfecting Primer - Dewy Finish, Link :)

The Information:

Oil-free, pore minimising formula creates the perfect canvas by concealing flaws, evening skin tone and can be used under or in place of foundation. One universal shade creates the perfect skin tone match.

Application:

May be used every day after moisturising. Blend evenly over face and neck. Wear under or in place of foundation for a fresh look.

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Isohexadecane, Silica, Boron Nitride, Stearyl Dimethicone, Sodium Hyaluronate, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Seed Extract, Capryloyl Glycine, Sarcosine, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract, Rosa Multiflora Fruit Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Chitosan, Propyl Gallate, Polyurethane-40, Zinc Gluconate, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Sorbitol, Glycine, Alanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Arginine, Lysine, Glutamic Acid, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Mica, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77489, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

When I swatched this I was so surprised that this has a tint to it. Usually face primers are white or very, very pale shades. As you can see from the blended out swatch above though it does blend out nicely giving a dewy glow as it describes. I am looking forward to trying this. It dispenses out with a pump. This retails at £29.00 for 30ml which sounds a lot, but I am intrigued to see how this looks.

So that's it folks. Overall I am really happy with my January GlossyBox. The pink box itself had me excited from the moment of opening. I will definitely use all of the products. The only one that I am not excited about is the Fab Body Moisturizer, but it will get used.

It's a shame about the confusion with the product information on the information card and the website, but I got there in the end.
