And Then Some More...

We did warn that there would be more reviews! Just a quick couple of reviews of products that I (Faye) have bought recently.  First is Rimmel ScandelEyes:

It made my lashes look much thicker from the base to the tips, and without making them look spidery.  It has a good volumising effect, although it is harder to use on my bottom lashes so I've been using a different mascara on them.  Overall, it is good value for money and I would buy it again. 


And then there is this set of Simple products I bought: Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser.  

It is hard to remember to cleanse, tone and moisturise every day and in that order, but after using these only a few times I have already noticed how much smoother and refreshed-looking my skin is.  Considering you are putting three different products on your face, it doesn't feel like too much or like you are making your skin oily - the lotions are very light and ideal for all skin types.    Simple is a good all-round brand as it is good for sensitive skin and isn't too rich, and is also very good value.  I will definitely be sticking with these products and after noticing good results so soon after buying, I will remember to use all three every day ! 

In With The New

Hey, it's back to both of us again today! We have both been making some new year resolutions and have decided to eat more healthily.  Until now it has been an impossible task trying to keep away from the nearest McDonalds or bakery, and to be honest we didn't really try at all.  But there comes a time when you realise that it is not a sign of good health when you get a stitch from merely putting your coat on, and so we have come to the difficult decision that it is time to ditch the junk food and start eating our greens :( 

Moving swiftly on, I (Faye) have a new favourite ring from Freedom @ Topshop:

Sarah has got a free gift from Maxfactor, for spending £15+ : 

This is one of the best free gifts either of us has ever got, any of which have only ever come from MaxFactor or Boots No7.  They are genuinely good items, and quite generous sample sizes.  The set includes: Nailfinity in Onyx, Nailfinity in Boji (both limited edition apparently), Vibrant Curve Effect Lipgloss, Masterpiece Max Mascara and Kohl Pencil in Black.  Here is the Nailfinity in Boji:

This polish goes on really well, it needs two coats which is pretty normal, and the mascara is really good and definitely will be bought in full size once the sample has run out! The kohl pencil is bold, doesn't smudge and stays on a fair few hours, so overall a really great set. 

There are still more items to come that we have bought, reviews will follow shortly :)

Happy New Year!

So, Happy New Year! It's just me (Sarah) today as Faye has unfortunately been called in to work!  I hope that everyone has had a fun and relaxing Christmas, and that you, like me, are nursing a food baby.
I have been hitting the sales this week, and photos of what I bought will follow, although I had to upload this picture of my new ring because I love it so much and it actually fits my long, bony fingers:   
                                                         

I got it in the New Look sale, and I'm just really pleased to have found a shop whose size 'S' rings actually are small enough for me!  My hands and wrists are awkwardly bony and out of proportion to the rest of me, but at least now they're a little prettier.
