on with the reviews...
Wonderblur -
Nutriganics Drops of Youth range. rrp: £16.00
So you've tried a lot of different primers by now
girls and maybe you're wanting to update your collection of skincare routine
products, within its 30ml size I would definitely say The Body Shops version of
the highly rated 'blur primer' is good for value at its bargain price.
You don't need to use a lot of product for it to
glide effortlessly across your face or problem areas, I would recommend just a
small pea sized amount and you will be guaranteed, this
product will last you at least a few months.
For application apply after all your usual skincare
routine (cleanse, tone and moisturise) and wait for your moisturiser to sink
in. You might want to look at what else The Body Shop offers in relation to
your daily skincare routine! The salons experts will be happy to assist you
down at Trinity Walk in Wakefield, to fit your skin type! The best for my skin
is the tea tree range.
One of the benefits I've found whilst using this product, is its wonderful for saving on my foundation! (Everyone loves a saving!)
As I don't need to use as much as it blends so nicely on top. If you suffer
from oily skin throughout the day this is perfect for a matte look as it has a
hydrating technology of up to 12 hours with a flawless finish! Give it a
whirl and see how you get on! :)
Shimmer Cubes - Palette 32 – rrp.
£16.00
If you're into a shimmery eye, this look is the one
for you! I've been a fan of the shimmer cubes for a few years now and I've had
several different versions, however I loved that I was given this lovely spring
2015 one to trial, if you're like me and hate the winter, this has made me feel
better knowing spring will be here soon and these colours were made to brighten
up your day.
I wear contact lenses, so if you're also a contact
lens wearer these are 100% safe to use with! Most make up is this day in age
but it's good to check what won't aggravate your eyes.
I used the 'Wonderblur'
on my eye lids too to help keep the colour in place for an all-day look!
You can use this palette with a dry or wet brush, which is perfect for how
intense you would like the colour to be. (In my picture) I used a dry look and
lined my eyes after application alongside mascara. I've known these palettes to
last a long time so I think value for money at a small £16.00 isn't badly
priced for something you could pay over double for at competitive
companies.
The best thing about this palette is. You can
really play around with the colours, find what suits you. I think they work
perfectly for fair coloured girls like myself as it contrasts well against pale
skin and green eyes. The 'Shimmer Cube' comes in a range of different colours,
so why not stock up on a few for different looks? :)
Lip
& Cheek Velvet Stick - rrp £12.00
Lip and Cheek pencils are a popular
purchase for most woman, these products remind me very much of the 'Clinique Chubby stick' range, as they are new to launch in Spring 2015 in five different
shades. I tested out the Coral shade.
This perfectly compact product, promised a velvety texture on my skin, very easy to apply and had a slight floral aroma!

I love how you can use this as
a lip colour or add a flush of colour to your cheek bones.
Universal Shade - Lip and Cheek Velvet Stick - rrp - £12.00
Now... Don't be put off at how odd this product looks as its ... yes you can see ... Black.
It was my most interesting product to try out as it baffled me how it works, with its unique formula it can be used on lips and cheeks to deliver a poppy/berry colour by reacting to your own personal pH level.
I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the colour it goes on me but I have swatched below for you to see. The more you apply the intensity increase therefore a deeper colour. I think I'm just so used to pastel colours, and this is why I can't get used to it been so dark on me.
It's a nice matte look so you can accompany with lipgloss if you feel the need, however I like the matte effect. This also matches the same price as the previous Velvet Stick shown above at only £12.00. If you want to try something a little of of the ordinary, then why not invest in this universal velvet stick, it can change colours with how hydrated/ dehydrated you are.
and there you have it!
Don't forget to go down and see the products for yourselves and make great savings on the 5th and 6th February! Let me know what you get! I may well be popping down myself on the 6th to test out some more of the new range.
Hope to see you there!
