I am finally finished my exams, even tho it's not late at all all my friends finished like a week before me it was very depressing!
So here are some things I bought a while ago and now that I've got all this free time I can get round to sorting and using everything.
Lush
I bought the lip scrub (£4.50) as my lips are alwaaaays so dry and sore, so when this came out I was desperate to try it :) It is made from sugar and I got Mint Julips flavour which is minty with a hint of chocolate; you can even lick it off after!!
I also got the Eau Roma Water (£3.25) spray in the smallest size (100g) to try it out and see what it's like. It's meant to be used as a toner but I've been using it in a similar way as FIX+ as they've got very similar ingredients. I've used it to wet my brush before applying eyeshadows and to make eyeliners and to set my make up so far. I also transferred about a third of it into a mini spritzer bottle I bought from Boots and have put it in the fridge so in the summer I can spray it on my face to cool me down :)
They also put in a little sample of Aqua Marina which is one of their most famous ones, however I've not quite got round to using this yet as I'm still on my Baby Face (£4.10)bar which I love love love!!
Avon
This quad is called Freshly Cut Greens (£5) from Avon, I am a rep but I'm not a big fan of their eyeshadows but recently they've been bigging them up so I thought I'd give it a go again. I chose the green set because I love the colour and I also have green eyes so they go well! As you can see from the photo on the left the two left colours are quite well pigmented but the other two are rather on the pale side. They all have a gorgeous gold shimmer through them which will make them go really well together in a single look. When I first did swatches I did it straight onto my hand and the effect was really quite crap so I did it again using Urban Decay Primer Potion and then Painterly Paint Pot as a base which made them stand out a lot more, so when using these a base is definitely required!! I haven't used these on my eyes so far but I will post an update to this post with results of all my trying out! In conclusion this is a not bad buy for a fiver.
I also bought Skin So Soft: Soft & Renewed Age-defying Overnight Corrective hand treatment (£1.50). Bit of a mouthful there :P My hands and knuckles especially have been feeling really dry recently but since buying this and using it almost every night before bed (when I remember...) they have actually been fine!! I am rather impressed! Also I just got age-defying because of that advert that says hands show the first signs of aging.. I'm such a sucker but I'm sure it's not bad to start early when it's just my hands :)
