Models Own Nail Polish Purple Ash

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this nail polish! Purple Ash (£5 from Boots) is classy but still edgy, I'd like to describe it as something a rich goth would wear. Do you even get loaded goths?

Rarrr! Definitely gothy fierceness!

  

The polish stays on very well and didn't chip until the 5th day. Hoorah!! Can't wait to get more of these badboys!

A carefully balanced nail varnish!

Who needs Purple Rain when you got Purple Ash?!

LUSH Tea Tree Water

Lush is soon becoming one of my favourite shops. Firstly, their products use natural ingredients which take away my guilt of plastering chemicals on my skin all the time. Secondly, their products actually work and give you reliable and long lasting results.

Since I was 13 I’ve been battling with minor breakouts, I’m always looking for the Holy Grail of acne products to wash my skin blues away.

Well fear not, I think I have finally found it. Lush’s Tea Tree Water gave me instant results since the first night I used it. I woke up to find smoother and clearer skin, so smooth I think I gasped a little.

For £3.75 this is a steal, in a matter of fact it felt like stealing because it’s so good. The solution’s main ingredient is Tea Tree (doesn’t take a genius to work that one out) which is a pioneer in defeating the evil forces of bacteria infected skin.

I’ve been using the product for a month now and it’s still giving me the same results, plus I’ve only used a quarter of the bottle. For all those cheap skates out there, what are you waiting for? It’s long-lasting, cheap and it actually works!  

Maxfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara

It has come to that time of year where my ever faithful YSL Mascara Singulier has finally given up on me. The poor thing just can’t give me beautiful long lashes anymore and is sadly destined for the bin.

However, my lashes aren’t to worry. After a quick dash to Superdrug I found this tall, dark and handsome beauty. Max Factor’s 2000 Calorie Mascara, to put it simply, is just bloody brilliant!

After years of putting mascara on my fragile lashes (since I was 13, naughty naughty!) they've seem to have lost their thickness. After applying just one coat my lashes have been replenished, giving me a very natural look without making me look bare. Just imagine the heavy heights of two layers...

Now I do love this mascara, but the smell that wafts out of the bottle is horrendous! I can’t describe the aroma that wafts up towards my nose. I guess it’s some concoction of chemicals that give the same smell to fake tan. All I know is that it isn't pleasant!   

But who cares! It gives me bloody good lashes and has defied the normal mascara convention of having length BUT volume at the same time. Halleluiah! 

Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask review

I’ve always walked past the Lush store every time I go shopping and have never ventured in to explore. To be honest, I don’t know why I haven’t gone in.

Well one day I thought I would have a gander as there’s been so much buzz about the store online. I came out with the Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask (£5.75, Lush). I have oily, spot-prone skin and am always on the lookout for the next big thing to combat my imperfections. The mask contains fresh blueberries, Irish moss gel, chamomile oil and calamine powder which are all good old fashioned natural ingredients. None of those pesky chemicals are in here, hell no!   

Well ladies and gentlemen...this is one of the best face masks I have ever used! My skin was so smooth and actually glowing without any of that tightness you feel with the regular face mask. I could actually feel my frickin face! I did feel like a Smurf when i had it on with the blueish tint of the blueberries but who doesn’t want to be Smurfette, right?

If you want a treat once in a while this is perfect for you as it’s so relaxing and smells heavenly. But if you need an emergency pick me up for your skin, this stuff is your holy grail of face masks!
