Foolproof Removal with Balms Away Eye Makeup Breakup

Shortly before the Christmas season, my local Superdrug received a major upgrade on their beauty aisle. What used to just stock the standard groups such as Rimmel and Maybelline, now stocked the likes of TheBalm and Makeup Revolution. I was so excited to see TheBalm display. It had been sold on the Debenhams website for a while, and I couldn't find it in Florida, so to hold a product in my hands was amazing. There was so many things that I wanted to try, but I had to reign myself in.

I picked up TheBalms Balms Away Eye Makeup Breakup. I heard about the "'Tube" that balms worked the best at removing stubborn and waterproof eye makeup, such as mascara and eye-liner. I always find that I have leftover mascara all around my eyes, even after rubbing with a cotton round and my micellar water. I've noticed that all the tugging is starting to wear at my eyelashes; that I have more randomly falling out days later. This seemed to be the answer to my prayers!

The product in the tin is a very clear, thick balm that reminds me of vaseline, despite the fact I have not been near a tub of it in years. At the same time it feels nice, in a gooey way. I gently rub a small amount onto my eyes, making sure to massage it into my eyelashes. It advises you to just wipe away with a clean, dry cloth, but I prefer to follow up with a light swipe of my micellar water.

The result is the removal of all my eye makeup; there was no a single bit left! The balm left my eye area feeling super soft and nourished. My eyelashes were still slightly glossy, though all the product had definitely been removed. I thought that there would be a chance that the Balms Away may have irritated my sensitive eyes, but thankfully it did not! TheBalm Balms Away Eye Makeup Breakup can be purchased at Superdrug for £15.49. Pricey, I know! But I have no regrets. I truly think that this is a great product, for me, as it has made my life so much easier.

Let me know: Have you tried TheBalm Balms Away Eye Makeup Breakup, or have you found another balm cleanser that works better?

MAC: Fraud or Not?

It's getting to the time of year when people start gathering together all there gifts in the rush to the holiday season. They start trying to get the best gifts possible for the best price they can. Unfortunately that leaves them vulnerable for people to take advantage of them. The most common form of this is through the use of counterfeit goods. Recently a MAC lipstick was purchased for me, as a Christmas gift, from eBay. When I learned of it I was immediately sceptical and dubious of how genuine it was; I like to research into the item and view the pictures available myself. When I checked the listing, the lipstick was listed as 'MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick'. Upon looking at the details and the images available, I noticed that there were very few specifics and one general image of the lipstick with the lid off. I immediately wrote to the seller asking for pictures of the bottom label on the box and the lipstick tube (Well as details such as finish and shade). I kn

Totally Fabby MAC Lipstick!

I'm in the middle of shopping for new products; sort of preparing for the transition from winter to spring. Instead of picking up deep burgundies and warm chocolates, I have started to pick up pastel pinks and vanillas. I cannot wait of the warmer weather to roll in. MAC frost lipstick in the shade Fabby was one of those new seasonal additions I picked up recently. Fabby is a really muted rosy pink shade with a frost finish. The draw point, for me, is the frost sheen gives kind of a golden overlay to the lips. The golden tone just adds an extra dimension, and helps brighten up any makeup look. For being a frost finish, the colour pigmentation is quite opaque with a single swipe. The texture is not that creamy, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'd describe it more as very similar to that of a MAC matte finish; creamy and not glossy. I feel that Fabby is one of MACs more overlooked shades; passed over in favour of the more hyped about lipstic

Barry M Colour Changing Lip Paint in Neptune

Remember way, way back, back to the very beginning of my blog. One of the very first products that I reviewed was the Barry M Lip Paint in the shade Genie. For those who don't know, Genie is an unusual colour changing lipstick. While it looks green in the tube, it turns a shade of pink on the lips that is supposed to be different for each person. It is supposed to be a result of the lipstick reacting to the alkaline level of the lips.
