The body shop Lip butters

The body shop lip butters!

The body shop have had these for a while, and i have only just noticed them. They have many different flavors of these and they are all amazing.


Mango and chocolate
These are only £4 each, and you can always get a great deal on them. They do feel a lot like butter.
I bought the mango and chocolate one and they are both amazing, and taste like the flavor. I know they have got a grapefruit and lemon one. They are also very moisturizing and are great to pop in your purse when you need some extra hydration. There are no artificial flavors or colors and they are created from natural products, and are a bit like fair trade, so when you buy things The body shop give back to the farmers. These also last a long time on your lips, and are clear.

Products I've used up

Products I've used up

It has taken me a while to use some of these up, but i have loved every single one of them. I will describe what they are, what they do and my rating on them.







The simple eye makeup remover-£3. This is amazing to get rid of eye makeup such as waterproof mascara and eyeliner. It gets almost every bit off and doesn't leave you with black speckles across your face. The only downside is that you have to use two or three cotton pads, but that doesn't really matter.  5 stars.

Natural collection nail polish (crystal clear)-£1.80. This is good to use as a base coats and a top coat, it is cear which means it has no color, so you can also use it in everyday use as a glue. It is also very cheap,  and stay on for weeks depending if you pick at it or not. 4 stars

Chapstick-£2. I got the cherry flavor and it really does smell and taste like real cherry's  not artificial at all. It is also very moisturizing. The only bad thing is that you will want to smother it all over your lips, and it goes down quite fast. 4 stars

Ted Baker body butter. I don't know what the price was as it was a gift. I am really happy that i manged to finish it as i don't usually use body butter. It smells very perfumed and isn't very moisturizing  So i am glad it was a sample. 1 star

Bath time body butter. Around £3. This was from Wilkinsons so it was rather cheap. It did feel cheap the first time I got it, but i got used to it. You have to put a fair bit on and it smells like yogurt and sweets and feels like that as well. As I said before i don't use body butters, so I have been trying to get through it for 2 years. oops. 2 stars

OPI glitter/blue nail polish


OPI glitter/blue nail polish

Bought this amazing color from OPI and love it. It is a great color on its own or on top of a dark color. When you put light over it, you can see the glitter really well.


SEA you in Hollywood


Even though this seems like a really bright color, it is actually really nice to wear all year round. I have been wearing it to school recently and have had loads of compliments. It lasts a really long time around a week if you wear a clear top coat on top. 
It is really easy to apply and only need one coat as it is really pigmented. It costs £11, but is part of a Limited edition collection, but you can buy it on Amazon. 

Hope you have a great day

Revlon Just bitten Kissable Balm stain


Revlon Just bitten kissable balm stain
I have just bought one of these stains in a deep plum color as it is winter. It is in the color 005 Crush.

005 Crush

As you can tell the color is very dark, so it can make your face look a bit washed out. But you can put a small amount on your lips and it would look like a rosy color, or you can deepen it to make it look like a vampy color. There is a slight taste of mint when you put it on which is quite nice, and it stays for hours, even when drinking and eating. It is £7.99, which seems a bit pricey so you should find a color that you like the most first and try it. I would defiantly buy another one of these in a lighter color.

OPI Purple Nail Lacquer


OPI Purple Nail lacquer

I recently bought a brilliant purple nail polish from OPI. There colors cost around £11, depending on what you buy.


Nail Lacquer in'I brake for manicures'
The color is quite dark if you put on a few layers. But you only really need one layer of nail polish as it has great pigmentation. It applies really easily and you don't need to fiddle about trying to get the right shape on your nail. It is defiantly worth the money, and there are always new collections coming out because of film releases, and there are so many colors to choose from. If you are a beauty fanatic then you should have at least one OPI nail polish in your collection.

Revlon lip butters
I have two Revlon lip butters, one called Macaroon (096) and Peach parfait (025). They are both really beautiful colors, and are amazing on the lips.

Peach parfait on left, macaroon on right
Both lip butters have got great color pay off, and are very moisturizing. They are in between a tinted lip balm and a lipstick. 
Peach parfait has got small chunks of glitter in it  but it is still very wearable as it is a skin toned color. 
Macaroon is a much darker color as is very close to red. You don't have too put much of this on your lips, put you can still layer it up to make it a deeper color. They have a slight sweet taste but nothing too dramatic.
They are £8 from Boots which seems a tad pricey but they are defiantly worth it. 

Thank you for reading this
