Just Bitten! Mwah!

I have been meaning to write a post on the Revlon Just Bitten lip stain and balms for a while now as they are gorgeous! .

The stains come in 6 different colours and are perfect for the summer and are quick and easy for on the go! I think Revlon suggest putting the stain on first and the balm after but I would recommend doing it the other way around as the stains can be quite dry on normal lips.

My favourite colour is Passion and it stays on all day, including eating and drinking! I have about three of them now and would definitely purchase them again! The stains are also buildable so you can reapply for a more bold colour. I would say they dry out quite quickly, but if you are like me and become obsessed with a product then it will be used up pretty fast anyway. In terms of the balm, it is scent-free and really moisturising and un-sticky. They retail in at around £7.99 at Boots but they usually do 3 for 2 so you could try out 3! (I'm a bad influence ;))

Just a quick post, but worth the buy!

Got a spot of bother? - Clinique Anti-Blemish Review.

Well hello there!

This post is a review which may not appeal to everyone but nevertheless a helpful one (I hope)! Today I will be reviewing the Clinique Anti-Blemish range and tell you all about each product and how I think they work!

The first thing to mention is that this range is for blemish prone skin. I suffered from really bad acne and found nothing that could help overcome the neverending pain and bumps! However, i was given these products to 'try' and I have to admit... I was skeptical. I have tried every lotion and potion under the sun including laser treatment and nothing and I mean NOTHING worked. So... life story later.... I tried this and it WORKED!

The products are great if you want to try them and are reluctant about buying them as they come in a starter kit for £30. They come in a 3 step system which is : 

• Step 1: Cleanse with Anti-Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam 
• Step 2: Exfoliate with Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion 
• Step 3: Moisturise with Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturiser Oil-Free

The cleansing foam is great at taking off your make-up, (something I found painful having acne), and it doesnt take any natural oils out of your skin which is what soaps would do. It is a pump bottle which is useful with wet hands and is a light foam. The clarifying lotion is the second step which is amazing at cleaning the skin from any extra dirt that may be stuck around the blemishes. I would recommend using a cotton wool ball rather than a pad to exfoliate, as it is useful to scrub in circular motions rather than wiping. The third step is the moisturiser which is fantastic as you can wear this to bed or under your makeup, meaning your blemishes are being treated as well as moisturising. What isnt included in the starter kit which I would highly recommend is the Anti-Blemish Spot Treatment Gel. It is amazing and I really would reccomend this to anyone who suffers from any type of blemish prone skin!

The products really do what they say on the box and although rather pricey, they really do work. My acne has now gone and i suffer from the odd blemish. The only bad thing about the products is that they are quite drying, but that makes sense as they are drying out the blemishes! All the products can be bought online at www.clinique.co.uk or in most cosmetic stores such as Boots.

I know this is a really long post but hopefully helpful to anyone looking for another direction!!
