Products I will NOT be buying again from 2011

I always blog about products that are good, or that I really like, so I thought it was about time to do one about products that I didn't find very good.


1. TEA TREE SKIN CLEARING FOAMING CLEANSER: I have oily skin, and brought this, thinking it would be good for my skin, as it states that it removes excess oil for clearer looking skin. But it did basically the opposite! It gave me spots and dried my skin! Not good! The tea tree range at The Body Shop is a weird one for me, sometimes, I find the products work well, like the face wash and tea tree oil but others not so well!
The Body Shop- £4.50

2. NO7 SHINE FREE MAKEUP BASE: My Mum gave this to me, and I thought it would be good, as it gives you a nice base to apply your makeup. But when you use it, it feels gritty, and leaves you skin sticky and makes it quite difficult to apply your makeup. And I didn't find it made my makeup stay on any longer than usual.
Boots: No7- £11

3. PRETTY SMOOTH- EYEBROW SHAPERS: I have my eyebrows threaded about every two months, and to keep them in shape in between sessions, I brought these eyebrow shapers to maintain them without plucking. But I really wish I hadn't! Firstly, it didn't remove any of the hairs at all and secondly because, it left me with a really ugly dried out burn under my eyebrow. Not attractive!
Bodycare- £0.99

4. TEA TREE BLEMISH GEL: Another thing from The Body Shop Tea Tree range. I brought this as an alternative to my Clearasil Spot Blocker Pen. Although it didn't do anything bad to my skin, it just did nothing. It didn't get rid of any spots or blemishes it is completely useless if you ask me!
The Body Shop- £5

5. COLLECTION 2000 LONGER LASH MASCARA: We've all been guilty of this, buying a really cheap makeup item before Christmas, as you didn't want to spend a lot of money. I brought this, as I have been really impressed with some Collection 2000 products. Now there is nothing really wrong with this mascara, it just doesn't really work for me. It gives you a bit of length, but that's really it. And I prefer to have volume.
Boots or Superdrug- £2.99

I hope you find this helpful!

FOTD- Winter Golds and Purples

Just a quick post to show a look I created.

Face:
Murad Skin Perfecting Primer
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
Bare Minerals i.d
















The golds and purples in this look really complement each other, and it took me no time at all to create, it is really easy.





















First, I primed my eyes with the Urban Decay Primer Potion, then used Half Baked out of my Urban Decay Naked Palette.



To keep it simple, I didnt contour, as I didnt want to take the attention away from the gold. I then added a few coats of mascara.

On my lips, I have No7 Lipstick in Glaze
















Which is a plum colour with golden undertones.

I then added a coat of Bourjois Effect 3D Cosmic in the shade 23 (it doesnt have a name) it is a dark pink with blue flecks.
















And thats it!

I think this look is perfect for the Winter and Christmas season and am looking forward to wearing it more!

Excuse the fact I'm in my PJs!
