The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balms

Hi Girls!!

I have been a little lazy, so I haven't really come to the blog in the past few days, I think it’s these lovely sunny days; I just want to enjoy the weather while it lasts. By the way I'm on holiday :) whoo whoo :D

Today I came to review these gorgeous Lip Balms from The Body Shop, I always have one or two in my handbag, well, I think I have one in each of my handbags. I wear them on top of lipsticks or just on their own. I just Love the smell and the taste I know we're not supposed to taste them, but I cannot resist.
About this product:


Quantity: 10gr

Price: £2

What does the brand say about the product: "A glossy and moisturising lip balm, that leaves lips looking and feeling soft, smooth and kissable."

My opinion about the product: Overal I think the lip balms do what it says on the tin, they leave the lips feeling mosturised, soft, smooth and kissable. I love the lip balms so much, I could only find 5 of the ones I have, and 3 of those were still closed. For the price they are great, and I would recommend everyone to get one of the lip balms and give it a try, they have so many flavours, the ones I have here are, Raspberry, Strawberry, Watermelon (my favourite), Mango Peach, and Passionberry. The only bad thing I find about this product is that it is a little bit sticky, and if it is windy my hair sticks to it, and I don't like it, but overall it is a good product and I give it 4/5.

Olá Meninas!!
Tenho andado um bocadinho preguiçosa, então não tenho vindo ao blog nos últimos dias, acho que é por causa destes lindos dias de sol, que quero aproveitar enquanto duram. Já agora, estou de ferias :) whoo whoo :D

Hoje eu vim rever estes bálsamos da The Body Shop, eu  tenho sempre um ou dois na minha carteira, para dizer a verdade, eu acho que tenho um em cada uma das minhas malas. Eu uso-os em cima de batons ousozinhos. Eu adoro o cheiro e o gosto eu sei que não é suposto a prová-los, mas não consigo resistir.
Sobre o Produto:

Quantidade: 10gr

Preço: £2

O que a marca diz sobre o produto: "Um bálsamo brilhante e hidratante labial, que deixa os lábios que pareçem e sentem-se macios, lisos e adoráveis."

Minha opinião sobre o produto: Acho que o balsamo fazez o que diz na embalagem, eles deixam os lábios hidratados, macios, lisos e adoráveis. Eu amo estes balsamos, encontrei 5 dos que eu tenho, e 3 desses ainda estavam fechados. Para o preço que eles são bons, e eu recomendo a todas que comprem um dos balsamos, eles têm tantos sabores, os que eu tenho aqui são, framboesa, morango, melancia (meu favorito), Peach Mango , e Passionberry. A única coisa que encontro com estes balsamos sobre, é que ele é um bocadinho pegajoso, e se estiver vento o meu cabelo pega-se nele, e eu não gosto, mas no geral é um bom produto e eu dou-lhe 4 / 5.

Shopping Haul #2

This week I went a little bit crazy on buying makeup, so I ended up getting lots of things!
I ended up getting some freebies! yay! When I went to The Body Shop, and there was a student promotion going on, so it was very cool. The Promotion was, when I got 2 or more makeup products, valued over £15, I was entitled to 30% discount plus a free Khôl eye pencil, and if even with the 30% discount the value I had to pay was more than £15 I would get a free mascara, which I did get all of these things.
The other Body Shop promotion was, when I bought two face creams, i would get either a hand cream, or makeup remover wipes, I opted for the hand cream.

Esta semana, comprei umas coisinhas a mais de maquilhagem!
Algumas das coisas foram de graça! yay! Quando fui ao Body Shop, eles tinham uma promoção para estudantes, o que foi muito cool. A promoção era, na compra de 2 ou mais produtos de maquilhagem no valor superior a £15, tinha-mos direito a 30% de disconto e um lápis dos olhos khôl, e se mesmo com os 30% de desconto o valor a pagar fosse superior a £15, recebia-mos um rimel tambem de graça, eu tive direito a tudo.
Outra das promoções da Body Shop era na compra de 2 cremes de cara, tinha-se direito a um creme de mãos ou umas toalhetas desmaquilhantes tambem de graça, eu acabei por escolher o creme para as mãos.

I'm back + January favorites

Helloo!

Sorry I'v been MIA (missing in action) for so long... But, now the exams are almost over I'll be posting more often again, and I'll start off with favorites.I'm gonna try and do these monthly. I did say try ;)


So here are my january favorites:






* MAC - Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (in Medium): I don't have good skin, so I usually wear foundation with a pretty heavy coverage. On days that I wanna give my skin a break and don't want a thick layer of foundation, I use Mineralize Skinfinish Natural to even out my skintone. When I am wearing liquid foundation, I like using it as my setting powder.

* The Balm - Balms Away: I ordered this from the Beauty Queen webshop a while ago and I've been using it since to take off my makeup. On the back it says: "Apply a dollop onto closed eye. Keep eye closed. Move product in circular motion allowing makeup to break up (30 seconds). Wipe away with soft tissue and see amazing results." It does break up the makeup nicely and I sometimes use it on my entire face before I wash it with a cleanser. It makes it so much easier to take off mascara and waterproof makeup. I don't have to rub my eyes as much so I don't pull out as many lashes. Plus, the balm feels really moisturising.

* Max Factor - False Lash Effect: This has been my favorite mascara for almost a year now. I've been loving it since I first got it. I think this is my 4th one and I have 2 backups lol. Whenever it goes on sale I pick one up cause it's quite expensive (€16.99). I plan on trying Covergirl's Lashblast next cause it has the same type of brush and it's cheaper (about €10 I think). As far as I know, Covergirl is only sold at Delhaize in Belgium and only the bigger ones. I'll try and remember to look for it next time I'm close to a Delhaize.

* Les Cosmétiques - Makeup wipes: I think this brand is only sold at GB or Carrefour, but i love these wipes. I use them after the Balms away and they work great. And they're pretty cheap too!

* The Body Shop - Almond Oil Daily Hand & Nail Cream: I bought this bottle when it was on sale after the holidays (€12 instead of €20). Great deal for 250ml (8.4US oz). I love the smell and the pump makes it super easy to get just enough product. The cream sinks into your skin super fast and leaves it nice and soft.


That's all for january. Not alot of products, but I blame the exams for that!

Thanks for stopping by!
