Face Halo Makeup Remover Review

At a Quick Glance

Brand - Face Halo

Product - Makeup Remover Pads

Price - £18

Pack Size -  3

Face Halo has revolutionised the makeup remover industry. Creating a one-step solution to removing makeup, Face Halo have kindly sent me 2 packs of their makeup remover pads to try out and let you know what I think.

 You receive 3 pads in each pack and these pads are a little bigger than normal cotton pads you may use which means they're great to throw in your makeup bag and wont take up any room in your makeup drawers. As these are reusable and need washing after they've been used, having 3 means you never need to worry about not having one at hand whilst the others are being washed.

I was a little sceptical about this product as I honestly couldn't believe that one of these and just a bit of water could take off makeup however these totally work! I ran warm water over the pad and rinsed the excess water off and just wiped over my face. My makeup was removed effortlessly and there was no need to worry about harmful chemicals going on my skin as all I used was water. The fibre strands in the pad are 100 times finer than human hair which traps and removes the makeup. Lipstick is always a nightmare for me to get off however this pad took it straight off with no scrubbing.

These pads can each be washed around 200 times, amazing right. Reducing the monthly costs of makeup removers, it's safe to say these are a perfect money saver and such a useful product. I have definitely been converted. Removing makeup has now become a fun and effortless task. I am very impressed.

Skinnydip London Eyeshadow Palette Review

 At a Quick Glance

Brand - Skinnydip London

Product - Eyeshadow Palette

Price - £12.50

Skinnydip London have honestly had some of the prettiest gift sets and products in Boots stores just before Christmas. I happened to pick up their 'There She Glows' Eye Palette for half the original price so I was extremely happy with this.

I love the holographic packaging on this palette as it really makes it stand out from other palettes I've seen. I've never owned a Skinnydip London product before but after checking out their website I've noticed most of their products take on the bright and bold packaging.

The one thing I love with this palette is the mix of matte and shimmer shades. You get 12 beautiful shades to choose from so your possibilities are endless. The great thing is that the colours don't just stick to one colour shade which you find with most palettes so this means you can have many different colour options. The names of the shades are brilliant, my favourite is 'freakin' princess' which also happens to be such a lovely pink shade.

 The eyeshadows are pigmented but not too pigmented so its great for a subtle look however if you do want that pop of colour they are very easy to build up and make darker. They also blend very easily which is great when you like to mix a few shades together.

As you can see above I've swatched a couple of the shimmer shades on my arm and just from that you can see how pigmented they are. They really catch the light well which is great in pictures and lives up to that sparkle you need in life. I'm a true lover of pink shades so the two left shades 'Viva La Diva' and 'Babe' are my favourites.

Joules Bath Fizzers Review

At a Quick Glance

Brand - Joules

Product - Bath Fizzers

Price - £6

Pack Size - 4

In all honestly I feel that Joules has a genuine place in my heart. I love all their fashion and homewear items however I've never had the privilege to try their bath and body products. There's nothing I love more than having a relaxing bath with bubbles and an occasional bath bomb so that's why I thought I'd give these bath fizzers a go. 

The bath fizzers come packaged in egg type carton whilst being individually wrapped in decorative paper. Each bath fizzer comes wrapped in different papers featuring Joules' most famous patterns. I love the fact that these are individually wrapped so that you can use them whenever you want without the others getting ruined.

These bath fizzers are hands down my favourites so far. They have such a lovely floral scent which is very strong which also means they make anywhere they're stored smell amazing. I keep these in a drawer with all my other bath and body bits and I can say the drawer now smells divine. Each bath fizzer is also engraved with Joules' famous rabbit logo which I feel really makes these bath fizzers stand out from ordinary ones.

The great thing about these are that they actually fizz unlike many bath fizzers I have bought before. They take a long time to dissolve which is something I love about these because it is somehow very entertaining watching a bath fizzer dissolve. As these dissolve they leave a lovely pink bubble concoction which was really nice to see.

Overall, I think these make a perfect present idea and at £6 they're such a steal. Or if like me you love having a relaxing bath then these are a perfect present from yourself to yourself.

My Tarte Makeup Haul

I have got to admit I have always dreamt about owning makeup products from Tarte Cosmetics so when Black Friday came around I just couldn't resist. I spent around £50 and received 3 products so I was very happy with this purchase.

 As you can see above, the packaging of these products are of high quality and in my opinion really makes the product. They arrived in the cutest tissue paper which was detailed with bright and colourful unicorns and these small details really make the biggest of difference between high-end and drugstore makeup. I will list each product individually below so that I can go into more detail.

Shape Tape Concealer

If, like me, you watch numerous makeup tutorials you will notice most beauty gurus use this concealer when doing their makeup routine. I finally took the plunge in buying this as I was a little weary of getting the right shade. I went for shade 'fair' and I've got to admit it's pretty light but for my pale complexion it is just right.

 Rainforest of the Sea 4-in-1 Setting Mist

I have never purchased or used a setting mist before as I have never believed that a quick spray of mist on the face can make much of a difference. This is why I purchased the travel size of this setting mist so that I could finally see for myself what all the hype was about. For the price, I think the size of the bottle is reasonable and in all honesty it does make a hell of a difference with how long my foundation lasts throughout the day.

Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow & Cheek Palette

This cute little set has got to be hands down my favourite palette. It includes 6 eyeshadows, 2 blushes and a travel size Mascara of their best selling 'Lights, Camera, Lashes'. The eyeshadows are very pigmented anddd they blend so easily. This is a perfect beginner palette to have a play around with some of their shadows and blushes before purchasing the full size products.

The palette has a range of warm and neutral tones that are perfect for creating a natural or autumnal look. One of the shadows is the perfect shade to double up as a subtle highlighter. I love when products can be used for more than one thing, it makes me feel like I'm getting more for my money, I also have to talk about the mascara, oh my god, it's like my new best friend. My lashes become so much longer and darker without the hassle of it smudging under your eyes after a couple hours wear. I will definitely be buying the full size product of this.
