Baby Lips, Color Whisper and GlamShine Stain Splash Review

-
My friend in Canada sent me a few make up items recently which I thought I would review.  Heres a photo of some of the things she sent me.


Apologies, this photo is upside down for some reason, but I can't rotate it :(
Heres a swatch of the lip products.

Left to Right - Color Whisper, GlamShine & Baby Lips

 
First up is Maybelline Color Whisper in Pin Up Peach.  First of all I should say that I don't think Color Whispers are available in the UK yet.  Pin Up Peach is a gorgeous pinky coral colour.  It goes on like a Revlon Lip Butter, really soft.  Its really shiny, more of a gloss than a lipstick.  I really like this product and will definitely pick up more when they arrive in the UK.
 
Next up is L'Oreal GlamShine Stain Splash (bit of a mouthful, but thats what its called on Boots website).  Mine is in Stubborn Plum, which I can't find at Boots, but maybe the name is different over here.  This is a light plummy pink colour.  Its a very sheer gloss and like its name suggests it leaves a stain on the lips.  I swatched this on my arm for the photo then washed it off and the stain was still there the next morning so it does live up to its name.  These are £7.99 at Boots and are currently included on the 3 for 2 offer.  Again, I really like this product and it doesn't feel sticky on my lips.  It does need reapplying often to keep the gloss element, but at least the stain is there if you forget.  This is supposed to be a dupe for a YSL lip gloss stain, although I can't comment on that as I don't have any to compare it with.  I think I will buy another one, maybe in a sheer red colour.
 
The last of the lip products is the Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Balm in Cherry Me.  I love, love, love this product.  Its just arrived in the UK and is a bargain at £2.99 and Boots is doing a 3 for 2 offer at the moment.  I think I will pick up the other colours tomorrow, so expect another haul soon.  This smells of cherries (yum!) and is a gorgeous sheer cherry red colour.  It almost looks like you have been eating cherries and the juice has stained your lips.  I cannot recommend this product more.  Its cheap and it also has SPF included.  Whats not to love.
 
Finally, I also received a beautiful blush.  Its by Physicians Formula (which I think I have only ever seen sold in TK Maxx) and its called the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Blush.  This is so pretty, it has a mix of pink tones in lots of lovely little heart shapes.  Its says on the box that it is infused with a Happy Boost Blend featuring Happy Skin and Euphoryl, natural plant extracts, which have been shown to promote a feeling of happiness by mimicking the effect of endorpins.  I can't say whether this is true as I haven't tried it out yet (its just too pretty to spoil), but expect a review in the next few months.
 
I am so pleased with all these products and I am looking forward to going to America in Autumn, so I can pick up loads more products to try out.
 
Has anyone tried the Baby Lips yet?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

Primark LED Light Mask Review

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
