Made Up For You

Our product of the week for Weeks 11 and 12 are glitter eyeliners. They come in a wide range of colours and would usually be used for special occasion makeup rather than bridal. They are fun and really make a statement on your eyes! Easy to apply and you can build them up to a more dramatic look if required.

Our week 10 product of the week is Body Shop Baked-to-Last Bronzers. Simple packaging but the bronzers are very eye catching. The swirls of colour (light and dark) are guaranteed to suit everyone and compliment their skin tone. As they are baked, they last a long time and are therefore great value for money! Use with a large bronzer brush for maximum effect.

Our week 9 product of the week is Mary Kay Liquid Lip Colour.

It is like a lipstick and a lipgloss rolled into one. Colour is smooth, sheer and hardwearing. The minty fresh action helps to plump up the lips for a fuller lip line. Our favourite shade is ‘Raspberry Ice’ (shown in the picture).

With very little product needed, it is very good value for money.

Our week 8 product of the week is Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner Pencil.

With quite a variety of colours to match many lipstick shades these glide on smoothly, keep lipstick from ‘bleeding’ into lines around the mouth and last all day. As with all pencils, don’t forget to sharpen them to get the best lip lines!

We reviewed No.7 Triple Protection Tinted Moisturiser for Boots.com before it goes on sale to the public on 23rd February 2011. The first thing we noticed was the smart packaging, an improvement on the previous tinted moisturiser (Dual Protection). Upon using the product we found the lightweight texture very smooth and creamy with a gorgeous hint of colour which matched skin tone perfectly (we used ‘Fair’ tint). It can be used on its own for a sunkissed makeup free look or in place of foundation if you don’t need the full coverage. Very little product is needed so it will last a long time and therefore extremely good value for money!

Our week 7 product of the week is Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara. Having used this quite a lot we find it separates the lashes with gorgeous colour and no clumping!! Easy to apply with the fabulous brush and when it says it makes lashes appear 80% longer, we agree! It also lasts a long time without drying out which some mascaras are prone to do.

Our Week 6 product of the week is Estée Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup (Foundation). It glides over the skin perfectly without clogging or streaking and, with this product, it guarantees to provide lovely nutrients for healthy skin. An SPF 10 also provides some protection in the sun. This product is more expensive but, as you only need to use a tiny amount with each application, it is well worth the extra!

Our Week 5 product of the week has to be the fantastic MAC eyshadow pallette. With 120 luxurious colours it boasts bold, shimmery and pastel shades. A lovely creamy texture allows it to glide on with no effort at all and stays crease free all day and night! Suitable for brides, party people and for just those who want to look extra special for a day/evening out. This pallette has something for everyone!

For our week 4 makeup product of the week, we have chosen a baked eyeshadow from The Body Shop in ‘Copper’ (01). It has 2 intense shades – 1 a dark brown with copper sparkle, 1 a rich copper with sparkle. Mix and match the right shade for you or be daring with either! Perfect for an evening out!!
