Chloe Louise -xo: January 2015

Now tell me, which girl doesn't love glitter?

We all love a bit or a lot (if you're like me) of glitter in our lives and this is the perfect product for just that!

Glitter Lips by Beauty Boulevard was founded by Rachel and Paula. They have an exclusive online shopping outlet and they are the first to bring you the fabulous Glitter Lips range of products. This is a brand new, innovative product that will revolutionise lip colour like no other. It has an unbelievable staying power as one application can last up to 8 hours, yes you read that right! you will be amazed by its colour, shine and durability throughout the day/night. The entire range is waterproof and smudge proof. It lasts through an entire 3 course meal without needing to re-apply. You can drink, eat and party without losing any of your sparkle. What's more annoying than having to re-apply your lipstick after having a drink/eating etc!

Glitter Lips are avaliable in 10 different shades: Ruby Slippers, Diamond In The Buff, Coral Reef, Molly Dolly, Cherry Pie, Sparkling Rose, Ultra Glam, Dark Disorder, Disco Kiss Go, Midas Kiss. These are such lovely shades! I wish i could have them all.

I was recently sent a Glitter Lips product in my shade of choice to review. I chose the Ruby Slippers shades. This is gorgeous and every girl loves a red lip! It reminds of of Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz.

The Glitter Lips product contains

x1 - Gloss Bond

x1 - Applicator

x1 - Pot of glitter of your shade of choice

How to apply

- Start by applying a thin coat of the gloss bond to clean, dry lips. It does help by doing it one lip at a time! Keep lips parted and allow the gloss bond to turn from white to clear.

- Slightly dampen the pad end of the applicator with water as his helps to pick up the glitter and reduce waste. Then dab the glitter over your lips ensuring a good, even coat. Check for any sticky patches and apply more glitter to those areas that should require it.

- Using the brush end of the applicator dust off the excess glitter.

Removal Techniques

To remove glitter lips, they recommend using an oil based make-up remover.

Then soak a cotton pad in the remover and press on to the lips and hold for 20-30 seconds, this allows the oil/remover to penetrate the glitter and gloss bond, then gently rub in a circular motion for easy removal.

Afterwards moisturise the lips well.

I was so excited when this arrived in the post!

Just look how shiny and glittery it is! Ahh i love it!

The colour is amazing and you can see how bold and bright the red is and it is super sparkly. I found the application of this product easy although i feel i could do with a bit more practice to get more precise around the lip line. I'm not going to lie the application can be a little messy so i used some kitchen roll to help me with trying not to get glitter everywhere. It also does feel a little bit strange at first having the glitter on your lips as you can feel it.

I also feel that it would look nice and would help with coverage by using a red lipstick underneath before applying the gloss bond, but the lipstick or lip liner needs to be matt! As oil/moisture helps to remove it therefore it wouldn't last as long.

But don't worry if you are not a fan of the red lip don't let this put you off, as i mentioned earlier they are 9 other shades to choose from which may suit you better.

Now did it stay put?

The answer is yes! I can't believe how incredible the staying power is. It didn't budge until it came to removing the product. After eating and drinking it still lasted all day for me and it just looked as good as when i first applied it.

I was abit worried when it came to removing the product incase it wouldn't budge but i was able to remove the product quite easily. I followed the removal techniques and the remover that i found worked was the L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution. I did have to use about 4-5 cotton pads but it came off easily and i didn't have to do much scrubbing. I would say my lips felt a little dry aftwards but i just used my aloe vera lip balm and they felt good as new!

Glitter Lips is ideal for any occasion or event where you want to feel glamourous and add a bit of sparkle to the night. It would look great at Christmas time or New Year!

Glitter Lips retails for £12.50 and you can purchase them here from the Beauty Boulevard website.

Go ahead try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

*** This product was sent to me for review purposes. This was my 100% honest opinion.

I had never heard of DreamWeave Mascara before until i had been working in the salon and the lady that delivers our products to us had been talking about it to us. I had recived this mascara as a Christmas present and as i love mascara and love my lashes to look long i couldn't wait to try out this product.

This is the original DreamWeave Mascara in Black which is dubbed to be the "eyelash extension in a tube".

This lash magnet mascara has a silicone formula which coats each individual lash and acts like a shield to prevent any smudging or flaking.

The mascara adds length to your lashes but without leaving them feeling heavy as it is a lightweight formula.

The directions of use are easy to follow.

"Apply to one side to create the desired effect. Then apply to the other side, it will dry as a silicone shield around each lash. Ensure you have applied the correct amount to create your look as you will not be able to go back as this amazing formula shrouds the lash with a silicone wrap. The mascara can be easily removed with a regular remover."

I also thought that the wand was great, it is flexible and it never clogs up and doesn't make my lashes clumped together unlike some previous mascaras i have used.

I really liked the outcome of using this as it left my lashes looking lovely and long. I also found that it had realyy good wearability as i've worn it for work where on occasions i have applied it around 9:30ish in the morning and its still looking in perfect condition when i have arrived home from work at 8pm.

I had abit of doubt when it did come to removing this product as i thought i may have to rub a little more on my lashes to remove the product but it just comes off as easy as any other mascara products out there! If anything, personally i feel that it is better as i wasn't left with panda eyes!

You can purchase this online at Cosmeceutical Clinic for £11.99 or Click Here to find a stockist in your area.

Ever since buying the Naked palette whilst on my holiday in florida last year, it also came with a mini eyeshadow primer potion. Since using this i have loved this product. My mini primer potion came to an end a few weeks ago so whilst on my shopping trip i decided to purchase the full sized one as hopefully this shall last me a while!

The Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion comes in 3 different shades which are Original, Sin and Eden. Then there is also a 4th one which is an anti-ageing primer.

I purchased the origional shade from my local Debenhams store. This retails at £16.00 but i had a £5.00 off voucher to use within Debenhams so the price i paid for this was £11.00.

My mini primer potion which was included within the Naked Palette was the old packaging, which looked like this

So as you can see from the picture above and the picture below they now have a new packaging as the previous one had a wand applicator and was wasting product as the tube was curved aswell. I must admit using my mini primer potion it was abit difficult towards the end trying to get the product out. I even heard/read people had to cut open the bottle to get to the remainding product but now with the new packaging it is in an easy to squeeze tube, so hopefully we shouldn't have a problem and no wastage of product!

This is a light and silky formula that is used before you apply your eyeshadow. It guarantees a more vibrant eyeshadow colour which lasts all day and doesn't crease!

I love this product as it really does help with bringing out the colour of the eyeshadows i decided to wear. I simply place a small amount of primer onto my eyelid and brow bone although you dont have to go that far if you wish not to.

I purchased this in the original shade which looks like this the photo below. Although when applied and rubbed in you can't tell you have applied anything.
