Blog Competition Win

-
I was recently lucky enough to win Sam @ Honey Go-Lightly's 2nd birthday giveaway and I just wanted to do a post about the prize that I won as its really nice.  Check out Sams blog here.


First up are 2 great Illamasqua products that I was really happy to receive as its one of my favourite brands.  I won a lipstick in the shade Eurydice which is a really bright hot pink colour.  This is outside my normal comfort zone for lipstick shades as I am more a neutral pink toned kind of gal, but I am definitely going to give this a go as its good to try something new.  I also received a nail polish in the shade Force which is a great purple colour and is right up my alley.  I can't wait to try this out.

I was so pleased to receive a Bourjois Cream Blush in 01 Nude Velvet.  I love Bourjois cream blushes and I already own 1 in a different shade.  This one is a lovely nude, peachy colour and really suits my skin tone.

I am really interested to try the Laura Geller inkwell waterproof gel liner.  I have never used a gel liner before and usually stick to eye liner pencils as they are really easy to use.  I can't wait to see if this is easy to use as well. I hope so.

I haven't come across the Lord & Berry brand before, but I love this lip pencil in the shade scarlett.

Finally, The Vintage Cosmetic Company Eyelash curler.  I have already tried this out and it definitely does make a difference on eyelashes, so I will get use out of this.

Have you won any competitions lately?  Its easy to think that you will never win a comp but its a nice surprise when you do so get entering.  Here's one to start you off with.  My Marc Jacobs Giveaway here.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

**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

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.

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
