Review: The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion

Review: The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion..♥

• A lightweight, soothing gel-crème for blemished skin.

• Replenishes moisture overnight

• Leaves skin looking matte

• Antibacterial action

• Clinically proven to give clearer-looking skin

It feels like such a long time since I last wrote a review. I guess it's about time that I gave you my opinion on The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion that was featured in my "What's New" post in March. I mentioned that there was a lot of positive feedback about their whole Tea Tree range with the Blemish Fade Night Lotion being the most talked about and it truly deserves every positive review it gets!





I used to take biotin tablets which broke me out on both cheeks. I didn't realise it was the tablets that were giving me spots until I started doing some research so I stopped taking it and my spots more or less vanished. I do not pop my spots but for some reason they left my cheeks with dark marks which I've been desperately trying to get rid of as my skin wasn't like this before. 





I started using The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion and I have to say this product has worked wonders in fading the marks. The thing is, I don't even use it daily anymore and I've seen results. When I first got it, I used it daily for maybe about two weeks then I became lazy and daily became once/twice a week, sometimes I wouldn't even use it at all. The marks haven't faded completely but they are definitely a lot less apparent than they were a few months ago. Maybe if I start using the product properly, they may fade completely? Who knows? I am just happy that my skin is looking a lot more even.  





It is said to be a night lotion but to be honest, I don't see why it cannot be used during the day too. It is not a greasy lotion at all. In fact, after 5 minutes of application, my skin appears very matte and feels a bit on the dry side and I prefer a richer cream before bed. For those with dry skin, you may have to apply a moisturiser that is more rich after you've used this.





The Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion is also said to help those with acne breakouts but I'm not sure how well it works for that but I guess for those of you who suffer from acne, there's no harm in trying.

Packaging: The product is dispensed through a pump which I find to be a hygienic way to package the product especially because of what it is used for.

Size: 30ml

Price: Usually £8.00 but is currently on offer for £4.00!!!

Availability: Available from any Body Shop store and online

Overall thoughts: If you have blemishes that you are trying to get rid of, I think this is a good product to start off with as it is very affordable in my opinion and The Body Shop always have offers. You will only know if it will work for you if you try it yourself as everyone differs. My friend also uses it and I have seen a big difference in her skin. Don't expect miracles and airbrushed skin but I'm sure you will see a major improvement and good results. I'm going to try and start using it more regularly in hope that my dark marks fade even more!

Review: Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24hr Foundation

Review: Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation..♥

"24h long-wear for endless perfection 
Following 8 years of research, Lancôme unveils its first 24h** wear foundation for lasting perfection. Teint Idole Ultra 24H remains retouch-free, providing a flawless looking, even complexion with a velvety-smooth, shine-free finish. 

24h of divine comfort
In perfect affinity with the skin, Teint Idole Ultra 24h is irresistibly comfortable. Its new, blendable and fresh texture is divine and leaves the complexion feeling smooth, velvety and matte with no powdery effect."

A lot of you have probably been waiting for my review on the Lancôme Teint Ultra Idole 24H foundation. I know it's been a little while since I showed you the samples that I got from the Lancôme counter. Believe it or not but I am still using my sample! After much deliberation, I did decide to buy it but obviously it hasn't been used yet as I'm waiting for my sample to finish completely. Those who got a sample will know that the sample lasts a long time as you get quite a lot. It's good that Lancôme provides enough product in the sample bottle for you to make a concrete opinion on.  

As you know, when I went to get colour matched, I was given #11 Muscade but my flatmate also gave me #13 Sienne to try out. Just like I thought it would be, #13 Sienne was way too dark. At first, I couldn't help think #11 Muscade was a bit on the orange side and also dark but once I've completed my full face, it's not as noticeable. Because #11 was dark, I did try out #10 Beige Praline but it looked a bit pinky for my skintone. Apparently their odd shades tend to be warm tones and their even shades tend to be cool (I'm not sure how true this is). With me being neutral, obviously it makes it harder to find a shade that's spot on. 

• Oil and transfer free

• Sweat and friction resistant

• Without mask effect

• Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive

• Dermatologically tested

• Non-comedogenic

Coverage

Though the Lancôme website does not state this, the assistant at the Lancôme counter said that this is a full coverage foundation. Personally I would describe the coverage as medium-buildable as you can definitely layer it up to full coverage without looking mask-like. Even though I do feel that this has medium coverage, the foundation is so natural looking and skin-like! It covers imperfections without looking like you're wearing so many layers of foundation and is very comfortable to wear. 

Staying Power

From the name of this foundation, it is obviously meant to last 24hrs. I don't wear foundation for this long so I can't say if it lives up to the claims. The longest I've worn this foundation for to test it out is 18hrs. I don't usually have a problem with foundation sliding off or anything like that and all my foundations tend to last very long on my face. After 18hrs, the foundation was still there though I was shiny around my t-zone and obviously it didn't look freshly applied. 

With this foundation, I get the slightest shine (which really isn't worth noting) after 8hrs and shine becomes a bit more visible after 12hrs. 

Texture

This is a liquid foundation. It is neither too thick or runny. I would say it has a lighter consistency than MAC Matchmaster and definitely Estee Lauder Double Wear. The texture makes the foundation very blend-able and adds to the natural finish that it gives. 

Colour Range

The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H is available in 18 shades in the UK. I think the shades in America differ to the ones in the UK so make sure you check that out!

The lightest shade in the UK is #005 Beige Ivoire and the darkest is #15 Acajou so there should be a shade to suit everyone. 

The 6 shades for women of colour have SPF 5 whilst the other 12 shades have SPF 15. This is because darker shades can tend to look ashy if the SPF is high. 

Finish

Like I said previously, this foundation has a natural finish that looks and feels like skin! Even though the finish is natural, it still manages to cover imperfections on the face and create a flawless canvas. It can also be worn alone without powder.

Size and Price

As like most foundations, the bottle contains 30ml of product and is priced at £27

Availablity

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H is available to buy from all Lancôme counters; Fenwick, Debenhams, House of Fraser, Boots, etc.

Overall Thoughts

I really do love this foundation! Believe it or not but I haven't touched my Estee Lauder Double Wear since getting a sample of the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H. The fact that this is a medium-full coverage foundation and it feels so light on the skin just makes me love it even more. I remember when I first got my sample, I kept touching my skin because it felt as though I wasn't wearing anything. With a lot of other foundations, you know they are there and that you are wearing makeup. With this foundation, it's easy to forget you've got foundation on. 





One thing that used to bug me about this foundation is that it is fragranced. Initially I hated it because I thought it was very strong but as time went on, I got used to it. It doesn't linger for the whole day but when your makeup is initially applied, you will definitely smell it. If you're not a fan of fragranced foundations then this may not be for you! 





My only problem with this foundation is the undertone range they have for women of colour. For darker skin, they only have warm and cool tones whereas neutral shades are available for lighter skin tones which is a bit annoying. Why not make neutral shades available for everyone? =/





In comparison to my Estee Lauder Double Wear, this foundation looks more natural and feels lighter on the skin but I will say that the Estee Lauder foundation is more resistant to sweat than this one is; in my opinion anyway.





Lancome have done very well in making this foundation suitable for all skin types which means absolutely anyone can use it whether your skin is dry or oily. 

Apparently there is some sort of technology in it that helps combat oil if you have oily skin and also makes the foundation retouch free which I'm sure is a plus for those out there with oily skin. 





Even though I said this foundation is a bit dark, I'm still going to carry on using this shade because once my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish has been applied on top, it looks better (and my neck is also darker than my face and chest so it helps with the transition). This is much easier than having to mix foundations like I did with my Estee Lauder Double Wear. 

Fingers crossed in the near future, Lancome will provide more shades for us darker ladies!

Review: ghd Gold Series Max Styler

Review: ghd Gold Series Max Styler..♥

Hey beauts

Sorry for my non-existence in the past week but I'm back at uni now so I've been a little busy with meeting deadlines and I just haven't had any time for blogging. I've got that out of the way now so I thought I'd write a post today as I haven't done so in a while.

As you all know from this post here, I got a ghd Gold Max Styler for Christmas! I also asked if you would like a full review on them and a couple of you said that you would so here it is!

"A true classic isn’t defined by time or fashion. It stands alone; confident and brave. It’s made of truth, beauty and style. The perfect red lip. The little black dress. The battered blue jeans. The ghd gold classic styler. But bigger. “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” Coco Chanel"

Features

• Professional finish

• Smoother plates

• Cooler, lighter body

• Ceramic heaters and contoured plates

• Sleep mode





There are three different sized stylers in the ghd gold series range; mini, classic and max. As you can probably tell from the pictures above and the title of the post, I own the max styler. The max styler has the widest plates out of the range and are specifically good for long, thick or curly hair because of the plate size. I chose the max styler because my extensions are quite lengthy and I wanted straighteners which would take the smallest amount of time to achieve results. 





Though the plates are wide, these straighteners are unbelievably lightweight. Due to its light weight, it makes it more convenient to travel with this straightener if necessary.





These straighteners heat up very quickly. Once switched on, it will make a noise and the 'ghd' logo on the switch will flash to indicate that it is on. When it is ready to be used, it will beep three times so that you are aware that it has heated up and the flashing will stop. They heat up to the maximum heat of 230°C within approx. 30 seconds and there is no way to adjust this heat setting which can be seen as a downfall for some. You have to be very careful as they do get extremely hot. I have found that the upper body also get very hot and can burn your fingers if held for too long.







As with most straighteners, you can do more than just straighten with this but the curved plates make it easier than most straighteners to create curls, waves and flicks. I love the fact that you can create versatility with just one product.





You will never have to worry about forgetting to turn them off if you were in a rush as they automatically shut down within 30mins of inactivity which is good for those of you who are offenders of leaving your straighteners on!





For tidy storage and protection, these straighteners come with a protective plate guard that is worn over the top and keep the plates locked together. 





Below are before and after pics of my hair extensions just after I'd washed them. As you can see they had a lot of volume and weren't poker straight after air drying. I managed to straighten everything in 10mins and here are my results. Because of how good these straighteners are, you only need to pass them through an area once for it to be straightened which is definitely a pro!

Overall Thoughts

In my opinion, the ghd max styler is a good straightener to own. I cannot vouch for the others in the range because I have not tried them though I'm sure they'll work just as well. I know that these straighteners do not come cheap but I believe that they are good value for money as they can be used for much more than just straightening. You can save yourself from spending money on tongs and curlers because you can achieve the same results using these! If you need tips or are interested in techniques on how to use this for styles other than straightening, be sure to check out their tutorials on YouTube. 

 These straighteners retail for £119 but are currently on sale for £99 on the ghd website (http://www.ghdhair.com/gold-series/ghd-gold-max). If you are planning to buy these anywhere else but the ghd website itself, make sure you check http://www.ghdhair.com/help/website-checker to make sure that the website is authentic.

Review: Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter

Review: Korres Pomegranate Lip Butter..♥

"A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish. The combination of Shea butter and Rice wax offers deep hydration and softness. Ideal for chapped lips."

• Dermatologically Tested 

• Mineral Oil Free

• Silicone Free

• Propylene Glycol Free

• Ethanolamine Free 

I have a habit of using lip balms or conditioners on my lips at all times during the day. Honestly, I believe it's an addiction. No matter how many balms, butters, conditioners or moisturisers I've tried, I'm always still willing to try new ones. Dry or chapped lips are avoided when possible as I'm always carrying around some sort of lip product to prevent this. Next in line I guess was this lip butter by Korres which is described as being a buttery tinted lip balm. If you're familiar with the MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner then you'll have an idea of what type of product this is. It's great for those who want to keep their lips hydrated and moisturised but with an added pop of colour. 

Finish

As described above, this tinted lip butter has a shiny finish to it, though not like a lip gloss but very similar to finishes of most balms/conditioners.

Shades/Scents

There are 7 available shades/scents to choose from so you're bound to find a colour that suits you!

1. Wild Rose

2. Guava 

3. Pomegranate

4. Quince

5. Plum

6. Jasmine

7. Mango

I wasn't too fussed about my choice so I opted for the lip butter in 'Pomegranate'. I would describe 'Pomegranate' to be a coral shade and it does smell very nice and fruity in my opinion. The smell is not overbearing and once applied to your lips, you really do not even smell it anymore.

Packaging

As I have quite long nails, I find the packaging of this product very annoying because my fingers cannot fit in the tub so I need a lip brush/applicator in order to apply it! 

Besides the small tub, the packaging is quite sleek and fresh. Each shade has the corresponding lid colour and a white tub. 

Size

You get 6g/0.21 Oz worth of product in the pot.

Price and Availability

This product is actually quite difficult to find. It is sold on the Korres website but in euros. You may have to run a google search in order to find a supplier in your country. I purchased mine from ASOS for £5.40 with my 10% student discount but it is originally £6.00.

 Click here to purchase it off ASOS or click here to purchase it off http://bathandunwind.com

Overall Thoughts

I think this lip butter is a good affordable lip balm to purchase. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to MAC Tinted Lip Conditioners then this will be good for you especially because the colour range is wider. This lip butter does its job of keeping your lips moisturised and hydrated without any stickiness. 

For those who do not like scented products at all, then this may not be for you. Though it is not overpowering, if your sensitive to scents, it may be strong for some.

As I do not own any of the other shades, I cannot guarantee their pigment. I can say that 'Pomegranate' is quite pigmented for the lip balm that it is but I believe the colour can be built depending on how much you apply. You can either go for just a sheer tint or if you keep layering, eventually you will achieve the colour in the pot.

Like I said before, the only downfall of this product for me is the packaging as I do not have time to keep applying it with a lip brush or applicator so I may have to think about this before purchasing another pot!

Swatch

Do you own any of the Korres lip butters or their other lip products?

I have a habit of using lip balms or conditioners on my lips at all times during the day. Honestly, I believe it's an addiction. No matter how many balms, butters, conditioners or moisturisers I've tried, I'm always still willing to try new ones. Dry or chapped lips are avoided when possible as I'm always carrying around some sort of lip product to prevent this. Next in line I guess was this lip butter by Korres which is described as being a buttery tinted lip balm. If you're familiar with the MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner then you'll have an idea of what type of product this is. It's great for those who want to keep their lips hydrated and moisturised but with an added pop of colour. 

Finish

As described above, this tinted lip butter has a shiny finish to it, though not like a lip gloss but very similar to finishes of most balms/conditioners.

Shades/Scents

There are 7 available shades/scents to choose from so you're bound to find a colour that suits you!

1. Wild Rose

2. Guava 

3. Pomegranate

4. Quince

5. Plum

6. Jasmine

7. Mango

I wasn't too fussed about my choice so I opted for the lip butter in 'Pomegranate'. I would describe 'Pomegranate' to be a coral shade and it does smell very nice and fruity in my opinion. The smell is not overbearing and once applied to your lips, you really do not even smell it anymore.

Packaging

As I have quite long nails, I find the packaging of this product very annoying because my fingers cannot fit in the tub so I need a lip brush/applicator in order to apply it! 

Besides the small tub, the packaging is quite sleek and fresh. Each shade has the corresponding lid colour and a white tub. 

Size

You get 6g/0.21 Oz worth of product in the pot.

Price and Availability

This product is actually quite difficult to find. It is sold on the Korres website but in euros. You may have to run a google search in order to find a supplier in your country. I purchased mine from ASOS for £5.40 with my 10% student discount but it is originally £6.00.

Overall Thoughts

I think this lip butter is a good affordable lip balm to purchase. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to MAC Tinted Lip Conditioners then this will be good for you especially because the colour range is wider. This lip butter does its job of keeping your lips moisturised and hydrated without any stickiness. 

For those who do not like scented products at all, then this may not be for you. Though it is not overpowering, if your sensitive to scents, it may be strong for some.

As I do not own any of the other shades, I cannot guarantee their pigment. I can say that 'Pomegranate' is quite pigmented for the lip balm that it is but I believe the colour can be built depending on how much you apply. You can either go for just a sheer tint or if you keep layering, eventually you will achieve the colour in the pot.

Like I said before, the only downfall of this product for me is the packaging as I do not have time to keep applying it with a lip brush or applicator so I may have to think about this before purchasing another pot!

Swatch

Do you own any of the Korres lip butters or their other lip products?
