Cargo Lash Activator Review – Boots
The Cargo Lash Activator is back in stock at Boots!
After selling out in record time this innovative product is back on the shelves at Boots stores near you…
The Cargo Lash Activator gives a nourishing boost to your lashes – increasing them to up to 2 1/2 times their original size! Plant extracts work to delay lash loss whilst promoting vitality and volume; the formula is effective yet gentle.
Those who where lucky enough to test the product noticed a considerable difference withing 30 days – with many even boasting that they looked as-good-as (if not better) than false eye lashes!
I bought mine ahead of my recent wedding marathon and whilst I cant brag that my lashes have doubled in length, they are not only voluminous, but in far better condition than they have been for years! I have sensitive skin, so it’s nice to wear a mascara that doesn’t immediately have me reaching for tissues through streaming eyes and what’s more – my lashes don’t clump together half as much as they did with other brands.
The Cargo Lash Activator is great value for money too. I’d normally pay around £14 for my mascara and for just £4 more, you get a whole lotta lash! I hate wearing falsies… but armed with my new make-up weapon I shouldn’t ever have to use them again!
Grab your Cargo Lash Activator at Boots while you still can!

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream – Superdrug – 10% discount voucher
Feb 23, 2009 beauty, Superdrug
I finally feel like a grown up. This week, I succumbed to an adult skincare routine and bought my first tube of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, a product that evokes a warm fuzzy feeling of kissing my Mums smooth cheek when I was a child. My Mother has always sworn by Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream and for this reason, I’d always associated it with being a ‘grown-up’ but after many months of sensitive, flakey skin I decided to check it out – to see what all the fuss is about.
It is a definite case of ‘Mum knows best’ as my skin is reaping the benefits of this amazing, sumptuous cream. My former ‘scaly’ skin has calmed to a smooth, plump finish. I am a convert!
With Superdrug currently selling Arden’s 8 Hour Cream for an incredible £14.60 – you’d be mad to not give it a go!

Gwen Stefani Perfume – Harajuku Lovers – Gwen Stefani – Valentine
Feb 5, 2009 beauty
I was just have a browse through this months Elle, when I noticed these cute little scents. The Harajuku Lovers perfume by Gwen Stefani. For a while Gwen Stefani has channeled the Japanese/Gaisha vibe in her own unique way, so it makes perfect sense that she should extend her empire to create these kooky little perfumes!
I’m a fan – I think Gwen Stefani is utterly fabulous, she commits to her sound and style (whatever that may be – at any given time) and doesn’t give a hoot about what others may think. Very on-trend! So, if like Ms Stefani, you like a break from the norm, have a ganders at the Harajuku fragrances…there are five different scents available…
Harajuku Lovers GWEN has top notes of fresh coconut, crisp mandarin and apple, a heart of jasmine sambac, magnolia and a drydown of sandalwood. Harajuku Lovers LOVE contains a hint of peach and bamboo leaf mist, with a heart of peony, nectarine blossom, Egyptian jasmine and bottom notes of creamy vanilla orchid and blonde wood. BABY‘s top notes are bergamot and white rose; a heart of orange flower, tiare flower and jasmine petals and bottom notes are white musk, soft wood, vanilla and violet. MUSIC is a delicate, floral scent with top notes of clementine and sparkling pear, middle notes of sweet pea and honeysuckle and a base of vanilla and skin musk. The fifth scent is ANGEL, light and fruity it contains top notes of cranberry and rasberry, a heart of sugared rose and candies violet and a base of crystal amber.
These would make a great Valentine gift!

YSL Touche Eclat Review – Concealer – Light Reflective – Feel Unique
Jan 21, 2009 beauty
I’ve just cracked open my new YSL Touche Eclat pen and thought I’d write quick review. I’ve been using Touche Eclat for a good few years and believe of all the light reflecting, highlighting pens YSL Touche Eclat is the original and best. I’ve fairly severe dark circles (not good with my pale skin) and rely heavily on the fact that I can hide this daily – however, the one (and only) negative of Touche Eclat is that if used daily, it dries skin around my eyes. There are so many positives to out-way this though….it’s thick and creamy, creates a significant, yet natural glow and actually works… 100%! You can also use YSL Touche Eclat on the hollow of your chin, the contours of your lips and the sides of the nose.
Feel Unique currently has a great offer on all four shades of the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat – buy it through a google search, click through to Feel Unique and you can recieve your YSL Touche Eclat, including postage for £16. Fabulous.

Review Batiste Dry Shampoo – Look Magazine – GM.TV
Look Magazine featured it in their ‘credit crunch chic’ article and some American bird was singing its praises on GM.TV this morning, so I thought a quick review of Batiste Dry Shampoo was in order! With an average price tag of £1.99 I’ve been a fan of Batiste Dry Shampoo for a good few years, as Look Mag said, it’s a ‘handbag essential’.
Quick and convenient, simply spray Batiste Dry Shampoo on your hair in-between washes to refresh lank and greasy locks. It smells fresh and flowery and I find it great to use if you want to put your hair in an ‘up-do’ without washing it (which will inevitably create fly-away hair!) Available from Amazon for £1.75, it’s a must-have!

Benefit You Rebel Lite Review
Jan 9, 2009 beauty
Earlier I raved about the benefits of cellulite cream, but I thought I should also write a quick note on my post-festive seasons secret beauty weapon, as I’ve had yet another (that makes it two so far…) compliment about my complexion! Recently I’ve been using Benefit You Rebel Lite tinted moisturiser on the recommendation of a friend who uses the original Benefit You Rebel. My skin is VERY fair and dry; I suffer in the winter months with flakey wind-blown skin and at times, a washed-out complexion, but You Rebel Lite has really helped. It’s got quite a heavy consistency (not ideal for some) which is perfect for my dry skin, making it feel very moist. Benefit have also added an SPF 15 protection, so my skin is protected from the harsh winter elements and calmed down with aloe vera. However, the biggest benefit of You Rebel Lite is its tint, which is light and natural…hence the compliments! Click here to buy Benefit You Rebel Lite.

Bliss: Fat Girl Slim Review
Jan 9, 2009 beauty
I just wanted to write a quick post about Bliss Fat Girl Slim cream, part of the Bliss beauty range. Fat Girl Slim has been designed to demolish those dastardly dimples that have a habit of frequenting women’s ‘problem areas’. Bliss’ fatgirlslim is made with caffeine, which ‘energises’ the skin, promoting good circulation – which is the best way to combat cellulite!
I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, as I received a pot of the Fat Girls Slim cream as a gift (!) for Xmas (long-running joke with my friend…we’re fatslim girls cos we fluctuate so much!) and am so impressed with the results. The Bliss cream tingles as it soaks in – so you immediately feel its getting to work and after a couple weeks use on my thighs and arms, my skin is smoother and feels slightly taught. Also, I had little bumps on the tops of my arms, which no amount of exfoliation could get rid off, but the Fat Girl Slim has done the trick, reducing the redness too! Amazon.co.uk sell fatgirlslim for £17.49, by far the cheapest price around! It’s a New Year must-have!
