Maybelline ColorDrama Lip Pencil

One of Maybelline's latest lip product to hit our shelves is their ColorDrama Lip Pencil and when I saw it on offer in my local Asda I couldn't help myself. I have to admit that I haven't tried out many of Maybelline's lip products so wasn't sure what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised as to how much I LOVE this.

This lip pencil is very pigmented and leaves a semi-matte look on the lips. I find it very easy to apply and it lasts very well throughout the day. Maybelline describe it as an "intense velvet lip pencil" and I very much agree with the intense aspect. It goes on very smoothly and I think with the help of it's 'velvet-ness' it isn't as drying on the lips as other similar lip products which leave a matte affect. 

There is 10 shades in the range so there's something for everyone and I would definitely recommend you try them out. And for only £4.99 (Boots) why wouldn't you!? I have the shade Fab Orange which is the most perfect orange/red lip colour and I LOVE it a lot! Can't wait to try more of the colours out!

The Body Shop- Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet

Before I started a recent 36 hour journey home, including 4 flights! , I popped into my local Body Shop and asked what would be the most moisturising cream I could take on the plane with me to stop my face from completely drying out and this is what the lovely woman recommended to me. 

The little white balls are bubbles of Vitamin E which help give the instant moisture burst

The Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet. Quite the mouthful to say however, it is nothing but a  pleasure to use. The product is verging on a gel-like consistency but feels extremely light on the skin and has a velvet type feel to it. It sinks into the skin quickly and instantly makes your face feel softer. Somehow it also has some sort of magic in it which means that it feels really cool on the skin (without having to put it in the fridge) which helps it feel amazingly fresh on the skin (especially good for during a flight). It also has a light and fresh scent which adds to the whole refreshing sensation. The packaging is just lovely in a frosted glass jar which gives it a more luxurious feel but did weigh down my hand luggage- however, I was so in love with the product that I really didn't mind!

All in all this is my favourite moisturiser I've ever used and I think it'll be a godsend in summer when your seeking that cool and refreshing feeling. The Body Shop is fast becoming one of my favourite brands for skincare and I cannot wait to try more from their range...next on my list is the 'Drops Of Youth Eye Concentrate' eye roller ball- anyone tried it yet?

Beauty Box

Now I'm a major fan of beauty boxes so when I saw an offer in this months Glamour magazine I could not hold back. For £15.99 (box worth £83.47) you got a 12 month subscription to the iPhone/iPad edition of the magazine AND 'The Glamour Beauty Power List 2014'. 

The box contains;

• Philip Kingsley Daily Damage Defence Conditioning Spray
• Nude Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick
• Laura Mercier Foundation Primer (one of the main reasons I got the box)
• Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (the other main reason I got this box)
• Eyeko Mascara Off Eye Makeup Remover Wipes
• James Read Sleep Mask Tan
• Bourjois Volume 1 Second Mascara

What a box full! I think beauty boxes are brilliant for trying out new items before buying full sized products and also for discovering new brands/products which you wouldn't have tried otherwise. If you like the look of the contents of this box then I'm afraid this exact box isn't still available but if you head to latestinbeauty.com you will find other box options available and even a pick your own box, which I think is just a genius idea.

Points Haul

Who doesn't love having a look at their Boots/Superdrug card points and noticing that you have a good few saved up!? I blooming love it and today decided to go spend the points which I'd saved. Here's what I managed to pick up;

• L'oreal Miss Manga Mascara- I've been wanting to get my hands on this mascara since it came out so I was very excited to see L'oreal had 3 for 2 in Superdrug at the moment so this was the first item I picked up
• L'oreal Nude Magique Eau De Tint Foundation- I used a tested which I got in a magazine of this and LOVED how light it felt on my skin
• L'oreal Lumi Magique Hightlighting Pen- to complete my 3 for 2 I picked this up to try as my much loved Touch Eclat has run out
• Rimmel Brow This Way Brow Styling Gel- I've been longing after the Benefit Brow Gel for a good while but wanted to try a cheaper one first to see if it would be a product I would use to step up Rimmel!
• VO5 Plump It Up- I needed a heat defence and noticed that this one mentioned it adds volume and thickness too! Multi-purpose product, I'm on it!

So that is my mini haul using points...now I just need to save some more! Anyone tried any of these products? Let me know if you want a review on any of my new additions!

Thanks for reading
