Collection 2000 Glam Crystals

Again, I have already done a post on these here but they deserve good quality photo's so you can see their full potential :D

Top to bottom: Shake it up!, Pow!, Le freak, Spandex and Funk

& the swatches. Aren't they pretty?!

These are just £2.99, have great pigmentation and last all day. I highly recommend these :)

Avon Arabian Glow Clearly Shadowed Eye Pencils

Last month I reviewed these here but the pictures were not very good as they were taken on my phone camera. My camera is working again so I thought I'd show you some decent pictures :)

Top to bottom: Vivacious Turquoise, Plush Purple and Burnished Bronze.

& here are the swatches. You can see that Vivacious Turquoise is slightly more pigmented and vibrant than the other two.

I wear these literally every day; mostly the blue (this has now become my everyday 'black'), purple for a more subtle look and bronze for an 'au natural' look. I wish they did a green! When I have the spare money I want to purchase Barry M's Aqua Green Intense Eyeliner Pen

Sleek Original i-Divine Palette

I know you've all seen this product a million times before (slightly exaggerated :P) but I love it so I wanted to show you it too!

Gorgeous range of colours. I've just realised, in the mirror of this palette is a nice view of my cleavage, I'm ever so sorry.

Anddd the swatches.

These are my favourite eye shadows I've ever tried; very pigmented, soft and extremely cheap at just £4.99 ( That's around 41/42p per eye shadow ;) )

Superdrug's Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Price £2.44

"Naturally sourced Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which not only revitalises and protects the skin, it also helps combat the damaging effects of free radicals and shields it against the environment.

This 12 hour Moisturising Cream provides the extra hydration and daily nourishment your skin needs to keep it feeling soft, smooth and looking radiant. With the additional protection of SPF15 to combat harmful UVA and UBA rays."

You get 125ml of product which will last a long time. It is very moisturising and leaves my skin soft and smooth, like it states. With large pots like this, I'm not afraid to slap it on. Also, with it being in a pot, if you have spare cream on your hands, instead of wasting it like you would with a bottle, you can simply put it back in the pot. The SPF15 is a little bonus and this has a gorgeous, light floral fragrance.

I would recommend this product and once I've finished this large pot, I shall be re-purchasing.

Superdrug's Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream


Price: £2.44

"Naturally sourced Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which not only revitalises and protects the skin, it also helps combat the damaging effects of free radicals and shields it against the environment.

This Illuminating Moisture Cream gives your face a touch of radiance. it helps protect and hydrate your skin for up to 12 hours, and at the same time gives you an instantly radiant complexion. with the additional protection of SPF15 to combat harmful UVA and UVB rays."

I love this as it is very moisturising and has the bonus of SPF15. I don't use this all over my face because the tiny shimmery particles reflect light and if your whole face is reflecting light, you can look a little greasy for a while. I use this on my cheeks and brow bones which gives dewy, radiant looking skin.

You can slightly see the effects in the picture above.

I would definitely recommend this :)

Superdrug's Vitamin E Cleanser and Eye Make-Up Remover

Price: £1.95

"Naturally sourced Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which not only revitalises and protects the skin, it also helps combat the damaging effects of free radicals and shields it against the environment.

Gently and effectively removes all types of make-up."

This is a standard product that does exactly what it says: cleanses and removes eye make-up. The formulation is light and is very moisturising.

I would recommend this product if you are looking for an everyday cleanser/eye make-up remover.

Superdrug's Vitamin E Facial Scrub

Price: £2.44

"Our naturally sourced Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which not only revitalises and protects the skin, it also helps combat the damaging effects of free radicals and shields it against the environment.

This gentle exfoliator with oatmeal lifts dead skin cells to reveal deeply cleansed skin that feels soft, smooth and looking radiant."

Superdrug, Boots, Tesco, Asda and probably many other stores/supermarkets do their own Vitamin E skincare range. I really like the packaging of Superdrug's Vitamin E products. Instead of white, they are a light sandy-beige colour which makes them look more expensive than they are.
I really like this scrub, more so than St.Ives. To me, St.Ives facial scrub is just a blah product - Its not bad, I just expected more from all the reviews it has been given. Here is a comparison between St.Ives and Superdrug's Vitamin E. I've chosen to compare it to St.Ives as most people are familiar with this product.

Left: St.Ives, Right: Superdrug's Vitamin E.

St.Ives has a thicker formulation to Superdrug's Vitamin E and also has smaller exfoliating grains. The smaller grains might be better for exfoliating but I prefer the oatmeal grains as they are less abrasive. Superdrug's Vitamin E is also a lot more 'milkier' and I feel that its a lot more moisturising.

I would recommend this product :)
