  • 96% evened out sin tone 
  • 96% would recommend sheer glow to a friend 
  • 92% says skin looks brighter and more radiant  
1.0 fl, oz/ 30ml 

i dont no what i can say that NARS hasnt already said in there product description it is a truly incredible product recommended my almost all the youtube qurus i watch including Pixiwoo. they are the reason i tried this product in the first place, i have tried many of the products recommended my sam and nic and have found that my skin is very similar to sam's 
Unfortunatly at the moment the shade i have isn't quite perfect for me as when they first matched me i was much paler than i thought ( i looked like a ghost) i now realize that that was probably the perfect shade for me.

you only need the smallest amount to give great results and using your fingers to work the product in looks better than a brush for every day use but if you need extra coverage using a brush helps build the coverage. 

once again with the NARS products packaging is typically the only down fall. 
NARS sheer glow doesn't come with a pump which can make this a little messy and you can often get a little to much product. But NARS has recently brought out a pump for the foundation. you do need to my it separably but at only £3.00 its well worth it. this pump also makes the product much more hygienic so perfect for any make up artist. 



if you would like to see this product in action Just search nars sheer glow in YouTube and you will find millions of product demo's and review from many different YouTube's with many different skin types. 

if you would like anymore information please feel free to ask

NARSskin Multi-action hydrating toner

NARSskin Multi-Action Hydrating Toner 


RRP £22.00
Product description 
Gently exfoliates the skin with an alcohol-free formula that instantly refreshes and tones, refining the appearance of pores for a smooth and even appearance. skin is revitalized and brightened.
Contains the NARS exclusive light reflecting complex designed to restore skin's youthful radiance and reflect light like a prism.
  • For all skin types.
  • Dermatologist tested & Non-Comedogenic 
  • Synthetic fragrance free, Paraben free, Oil-free, Alcohol free
  • 6.7 fl oz/200ml
i first discovered this product when i went to my local NARS counter in the Trafford center Manchester (the staff there are incredible) i went to get colour matched with NARS sheer glow foundation, as she was colour matching me she did a whole skin care routine on me using this toner and the Luminous Moisture Cream which i am getting as soon as i can afford it. the NARS artist that did my make-up actually recommended using this product over the lips to lightly exfoliate the skin. i have to say it works perfectly.

I personally love this product it might be a little expensive but its worth the money. Unlike most toners i have tried this toner does not dry my skin out at all if anything it adds moisture. 
i struggle quite alot when it comes to finding a exfoliator as my skin is rather sensitive, but as this is a light chemical exfoliator its perfect for me. 
The only thing i dont like about this product is the fact that the pump leaks slightly but other than that the packaging is fine.
There isn't much more i can say about this product apart from i love it and would recommend it to anyone. 

Thank you for reading. If you would like anymore information feel free to leave me a comment.

Outfit Of The Night

Luscious Lush Lip Scrub


Lush Lip Scrub
*



RRP £5.25/25g 

When i first bought this product i wasn't quite sure what to make of it but one day i thought i would give it a go and turns out they are actually incredible. I have tried all 3 scrubs from the permanent range.

Mint Julips a delicious peppermint flavor with a slight hint chocolate. tastes just like the after eight mints i have at christmas.

Popcorn a absolutely mouth watering flavor tastes just like buttery popcorn. The name is kinda self explanatory. :) 

Bubblegum which you can guess tastes like bubblegum, im not a huge fan of this one myself alittle too sweet. i actully bought this for a friend one christmas and i think she liked it soo :) 
oh and did i mention its bright pink :) 

Lush bring out many more flavors at different times of the year.

One of the best things about lush is they are 100% free from animal testing and many of their products are Vegan which can only be a positive.


You might think that these lip scrubs would be a little messy and they are but its always fun to lick them off as they are actually edible. now i wouldn't recommend eating the whole tube for a snack but its safe to have a little :) 
Alot of people try and scoop the scrub out of the pot thinking that you would need a lot but truthfully you need very little i lightly press my finger into the product and you pick up just the right amount.
as you can see from the shocking picture above it goes along way.

Another point that you might and might not like about the scrub is that they dont leave any residue on your lips so if your on holiday and you forgot you lip barm you might want to get one :) 
they can feel alittle harsh on the lips and if you find that you are quite sensitive to them try applying some Vaseline first and then working the scrub over the lips it should help.

This product for me is a 10 out of 10.

thank you for reading and i hope you enjoy.

Beauty Edition Would you rather Tag !


Beauty Edition Would you rather Tag !


1. Would you rather only ever wear eye makeup or skin make up?
Eye make up definitely.

2. Would you rather cut off all your hair or never cut your hair again?
never cut my hair again it doesn't grow very quickly so wouldn't be a problem.

3. Would you rather always wear your clothes too big, or too small?
Too big definitely, no one looks good in too smaller clothing.

4. If you were given £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup? 
Clothes i have too much make up all ready although would love an air brushing system.

5. Would you rather wear lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?
 Lip stick as eye liner, you have so many more colours to choose from when it comes to lipstick and a matte formula will work just as well as any pencil.

6. Would you rather wear MC hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
                                                     I would go for the MC hammer pants 

7. would you rather never be able to fill in your eyebrows or only fill them in using sharpie?
                                                          Never fill them in again 

8. Would you rather never pluck your eyebrows or never shave your legs?
Never pluck my eye brows, im lucky to have naturally good eye brows 


I would love to see what you would rather do. so if you want leave me a comment letting me know
