My wee ELF wishlist!

Mineral Booster - Large £5

Small Angled Brush - £3.50. I think this would be great to use with my eyebrow powder.

Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal - £1.50. A dupe for Benefit's Moon Beam (Some reviews even say it is better. That doesn't surprise me as I don't rate benefit products.)

That is it! I'm a simple one me.

I'm a wee bit strapped for cash at the moment (Like always) so I can not even afford these little beauts! :(

The Body Shop Double Ended Blackhead Remover

Price: £3

Review may have been seen on The Body Shop's website. This is because I wrote the review on the website!

I have seen a few reviews where people have said this is not suitable for black heads around your nose as even the small end is too big. I couldn't disagree more. You don't just use this product to get one blackhead at a time, you can 'scrape' it across the area with a lot of small blackheads and it extracts them all at the same time. This product does the same as using your fingers but with this you can get more in a short space of time. I'm not going to lie, you have to press and scrape hard which hurts, but no pain no gain right! & If you're gross like me, you will feel satisfied when seeing all the rubbish you've collected haha. But as I say, the small end does work on tiny blackheads around the nose, it just gets more than one at a time.

Would I recommend? Yes :)

Foundation Virgin

I don't think this is worthy of a post but I'm bored and feel like typing!

The only time I use foundation, is around my eyes as I use it more like a concealer. This is why foundation lasts me agesss; It took two years for me to use up my Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse.

I think I look stupid with a full face of foundation. While many others look better, I think I look fake. I like my rosy uneven complexion! haha

As I've only used the Dream Matte Mousse foundation in my entire life, I've decided to get another and venture out; liquid foundation!

I want to try Maybelline's Satin Liquid foundation, or Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection (My sister has it and really likes it.)

As I'm a cheap skate, I've bid on a Maybelline one on eBay haha. I probably won't get it as Ivory seems to be a popular colour, but it's worth a try!

What foundation do you use and reccomend?

Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Pads

Price: £3-4

Simple say:

Simple Cleansing Eye Make-Up Remover Pads will remove all eye make-up even waterproof mascara and won't sting or irritate your eyes.

My thoughts:

These are so cute! They fit in the palm of your hand. If you're lazy like me then these are great; I just can not be bothered to put eye make up remover onto a cotton wool pad haha. These already have the product soaked in the pads so you just pop one out and off you go. They have just enough product on and remove waterproof mascara well.

You could use a normal cleansing wipe but as these are designed to use on your eyes, they do not irritate the skin.

Each pack contains 30 pads which should last you a couple of weeks (If on average you use 2 a day)

I couldn't really tell a difference between the normal and brightening pack, both do the same job.

Would I recommend? If you're lazy then yes :)

Simple Radiance Brightening Moisturiser Review

Price: £4-7 depending on the store you purchase from. Superdrug is cheaper than Boots.

Simple claim:

"When your skin's happy and glowing, you feel healthier and happier too! Our Brightening Moisturiser SPF10 is a perfect blend of active ingredients and light reflecting particles to protect, condition and illuminate your skin throughout the day. Perfect for even sensitive skin."

My thoughts:

The cream is thick, sinks into my skin well and leaves it feeling deeply moisturised, but this isn't a product suitable for me. My cheeks are a normal skin type, meaning they're not dry, oily or blemish prone, and because of this, the product looks great on my cheeks. The product is however, another story on my T-zone. My T-zone is oily and this moisturiser highlights that.

It does give you a glow/shine doing exactly what it claims but is not suitable for oily skin types.

I think this product would be great for people with dryer skin.

Overall - It's a good product, but not if you have oily skin as it will highlight this. A great product for dull/dry skin.

Simple's VIP of August Prizes!

I am Simple's VIP of August and my prizes arrived today!

It was like Christmas!

Eeek!

This is meant to be £50 worth of goodies but me and my sister worked out that it is a lot more than that. Even if everything cost £2 each, that would still come to £82. Most of the products there, excluding the travel products and face wipes, are around £3-4 each. (After Sun Lotion £7 and Sun Sensitive Facial Lotion £10 are two examples of the higher priced items!)

Looks like I'm set for life.. ah who am I kidding? This is being written by a beauty addict on a beauty blog hehe.

Thank you Simple so so soooooo much!
