Blogmas day 3! -Sleek Advent

Another day in December means another advent door. Today with the shape of the door, I thought it could be a lipstick or a nail polish. It was a Lip cream/lipgloss. As always I'm going to start off with the packaging, the glass bottle is see through so you can see the shade of the lip creme and the lid is the usual black in colour with the Sleek logo imprinted very faintly. I think it looks really classy and expensive even though separately these retail in Boots and Superdrug at a bargain £4.99!

Now lets get down to business.. The colour, it's called 'Rioja Red'. The shade is beautiful and absolutely perfect for the festive season. I mean when you think Christmas you automatically think red for Santa right?

When I did a swatch of this product the consistency is so creamy therefore no chapped lips ruining the look as some lip products can be so drying, especially in this latter months of the year mother nature already does that for us.

 

The colour is such a fun and festive red which I think especially in December can be worn day and night! - (Kid Cudi in their heads? anyone? or just me.) When I tried to wash it off my arm I really had to scrub -Hard. So Ladies this is perfect for festive drinks with your loved ones and work parties dancing into the early hours of the morning sipping many drinks along the way because your Sleek red lip creme isn't going to budge!

Lets see what day 4 brings us!

Boots are made for walking

I recently went shopping and accidently fell into Primark again. I wanted to talk about how good their footwear range is now they're bringing in the autumn/winter stock. I must admit it does make me excited for the season of pumpkin chai lattes, fireworks and the crisp cold air (did I just say that?! - I hate the cold) but I'm not letting myself get excited for all that until I've been on my jollys (holiday for those of you not into your rhyming slang).

The first pair I picked up were a black pair with embroidered butterfly and flowers on them. They are black faux suede with the detail on the side. Perfect with leggings, jeans or even skirt/dresses. They are just over the ankle in height and have a small but chunky heel on them. I just feel they glam up an outfit and at a steal at just £14.

I've got a bag that I got for my birthday which matches with these, faux suede with embroidered flowers on. I find it really turns a casual outfit into something a bit more sophisticated. This bag was from deichmann.

This is my birthday bag and it was only £17.

The other pair of boots I picked up, my sister and I had been pining over for a few weeks until pay day! They remind me of the Chloe' Susanna boots which retail for £850 (If you was around in the blogging world in 2009 you'll remember the buzz for these) so when you can imagine how impressed I was by these Primark dupes at £16.00. 

Let me know any Autumn/winter bargains you've seen.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Review

I have wanted to try the blogger's favourite Bioderma however I felt at around £10 a bottle it was expensive so I tried to find something I think is similar. You guessed it (read the title)... L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3-1 Purifying Micellar Solution. 

I find the texture of this product so lovely to apply to your face, its so light and honestly feels like water on your skin. I find it a nice refreshing way to end the day. Before using this I went through a lazy spell and yes I did the blogger's worst sin and used make up wipes -There is a reason everyone gasps when you tell them this, they dry out your face so much! I just used them for convenience. As I said, there is no excuse just laziness.

This product really does take every last trace of make up off your face, I really feel it unblocks your pores. 

I originally spotted this product in my local supermarket for £5.99 however i have since found it cheaper at Boots for £3.33- A bargain compared to Bioderma.
