The Balm Stainiac in Prom Queen: Review

Here is another new product I bought to try in the sales.  I haven't used a lip stain in ages as I've been trying to make myself wear my lipsticks more often.  My lips are naturally really pale and normally I wouldn't wear a lipstick to work so I've been wanting to find something that will add just a little bit of natural colour.

I saw the Stainiac lip and cheek stains in the sale here and decided that the shade 'Prom Queen' would look the most natural on my lips.

I really like this product.  It's very natural looking on my lips but I think it can be built up if you want a brighter stain.  I wear just a small amount on my lips to work and don't feel over done like I would do with lipstick.  I'm glad I bought this product and wish I had got another shade to try when they were on offer!

I think you can see the colour looks really natural in these photos.

I bought a two faced Glamour to go palette yesterday which I'm looking forward to testing out and reviewing soon!

Till next time! :)

The Balm Mascara in Cheater Review

Hi!  I have decided to review some products I've been using as I'm always looking for honest product reviews before I spend my precious money on things so it's time to give something back :)

I recently bought The Balm Mascara in Cheater.  I was looking for something a little less thick for everyday wear than the Bourjois one I'd been using.

The brush and the bristles looked smaller which I like and the formula didn't seem too thick so I decided to give it a go.  I try to avoid products containing Parabens which this mascara is free of and it was also on sale which is good as otherwise this brand would be priced higher than what I would normally pay for cosmetics.

I'm happy with the consistency, hardly any clumps at all when I apply it.  I love the retro packaging.  All in all I'm very happy with this mascara and will be using it for every day wear as planned!
