Christmas Advent Calender| Week 4

Hi guys! Sorry I've been quiet over the last week, I've been down to Devon to see family and there is no internet there (the down side to living in the middle of nowhere).
I know it is slightly late but here it is- week 4.. well actually only three days worth of products from each calender as they only went up to the 24th December.

 YouBeauty: Fortune Scrub by Rituals, Rose Body Oil by Maddi Alexander, Deep Pillow Spray by This Works,

Benefit: Bad gal Lash Mascara, Fakeup, ChaCha tint
I have to say I was more than a little disappointed when I opened number '24' on my Benefit calender to find that 'Fakeup' was broken and so I was unable to use it. I will obviously be going to the nearest Benefit counter, when I have time, to replace this.

From last weeks post, I have actually surprised myself in what I have enjoyed. I have been really liking the Fleur de Figuier Frangrance by Roger and Gallet. It does not look like very much when you see the packaging and it appears as though it might be more appropriate for someone's grandma, BUT actually it smells quite delightful. I'm usually quite picky when it comes to perfume, but this is a mixture of hints of fig, mandarin blossom and cedar wood. Sweet but not too sweet. Really lovely, and I have been complimented on it already.

I am so sad that Christmas is now over and we now have to wait a whole year for it to come round again! I've really enjoyed opening up these calenders and finding out what wonders lie behind the door. Not to mention the beautiful decorations dotted around the home, streets and towns.
I hope you have had a amazing Christmas!

Did you get anything nice? What are your plans for the New Year? Thought of any resolutions?

You've got some lipstick on your teeth....| Benetint

We've all had one of those days where we think, 'I'm going to put some lipstick on today' and it looks great. You've walked through town smiling to strangers, said thank you to the man at the counter serving you your coffee, and started chatting to your friend and that's when your friend says 'you've got some lipstick on your teeth by the way.....' .......Oh Great!

Well, I don't know about you but I do like to wear a bit of colour on my lips, especially around this time of year. However, there's the worry of it smearing or smudging around your mouth or teeth and it coming off- especially when your going for a meal.

Fear not!
I may have the answer you are looking for! Lip Tints.. sounds scary- but its not, I promise! I have been enjoying using the Benefit lip and cheek tints (more so for my lips) this past week. I used to hate the idea of lip tints, but having tried them I actually really like them. They are build-able, which is great as you can have a subtle hint of colour or a real pop of colour. An additional bonus is that you can put lip balm on, for added moisture and not worry about it coming off! I will say though that it did not last all day (9am till 4pm, 7 hours of me eating, drinking etc) however it did last for the majority of the day.

Here is a before any lip product picture (sorry about the different lighting)

 And here is a picture with just one layer of the stain to add a nice subtle bit of colour

Again this stain is build-able so it is so easy to get a stronger colour if you wanted.

I would definitely recommend this to those of you who want to wear colour on your lips for a meal or a Christmas party, and if you wanted you could add a lip gloss to glam it up a bit more!

It also comes in some other colours: to have a look and see how to use them click HERE


Have you tried these tints before? Did you like them?
