Clinique -Bonus Time

I consider myself a shoppoholic but my main buying items are clothes. I just love shopping for all types of clothing items. But since I have bumped into these awesome beauty haul videos and beauty experts on YouTube I have been regretting how much I have been missing from the beauty world.

So for a start I wanted to try products that have been out in the market but duh!! I haven't used them yet! And the best way I thought was to hunt down for offers and honestly, who can resist them right?!!

I never wear make-up though occasionally I wear it when I'm  filming my haul or other videos. However I am a seriously amateur make up person because I have not had much dedication into these beauty products. But now I am just super tempted to buy all the beauty stuff in the market because honestly, I think its time.. I'm 24 by the way!

So as I was mentioning about offers, being a loyal Metro reader on the tube, I came up to the add of Clinique Bonus Time in Boots where free samples were being given away with the purchase of any two items and one having to be from the skin care section.

There was my very chance to try these products, because using samples are a best way to find what's best for you right!

So I made sure not to miss this opportunity and bought a Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 -Dry/Combination Skin and a Quick liner for eyes in black/brown. Taadaa...I was eligible for the bonus time free samples.

I received a pretty wash bag with watermelons( I think) as the print. It feels waterproof and big enough to hold lots of make up items. Inside was an Quick Liner for eyes intense black (eye-liner), Chubby stick moisturising lip colour balm, Moisture surge extended thirst relief (moisturiser), All about eyes(under eye cream),High impact mascara and Rinse off foaming cleanser. 

I used the Clinique Clarifying lotion and OMG, it is amazzinnggg..!!. The amount of dirt that it sweeped from my face was just incredible, leaving my skin feeling fresh and soft. The quick liner is also a gorgeous shade as it is not intensely black nor totally brown, so I am quite pleased with what I purchased.

Regarding the sample items, the under eye cream is the best among all. There is an instant feeling of my under eye skin being plumped and firmed. The moisturising cream is very good when used with the clarifying lotion as well. The clarifying lotions come according to skin types so make sure you get the right one! I haven't used the mascara yet but I have heard a lot of good reviews on it so cant wait to try it on! And regarding the chubby stick lip colour balm in colour whooping watermelon, its very sheer but highly moisturising. The colour is pretty but light pink so needs lots of coating if you want more intense colour. However I did not like the black eye liner (sample) at all, Firstly it was impossible to twist the liner to put it on, Secondly ,in one go the tip just went blunt! Quite annoying but I hope the one I purchased is not like this!! 

So overall I am happy with these Clinique products, its a good way to try them out and also to know what suits you the most. For me I will surely be getting more of the Clarifying Lotion, Under eye cream and Chubby Stick Lip Colour Balm...I just love them!!

I think the bonus time is still valid till 23rd March in Boots so hurry up guys don't miss out!! Here is a link to find out more about this offer:

Tangle Teezer Review

After doing a video review on the "Tangle Teezer" , I had to write down this review on my blog because now after using it after a few times, I am really happy with the purchase.

As I mentioned in my video review that I was taken aback by the price, I'm still a bit unhappy with how expensive it is, ie.£10.99 in Boots (Drug store). However, created by Shaun P, this hairbrush promises to smooth knotted hair in the best possible way and  being available in a very wide colour range, its very luring and tempting. I bought the purple one with little speckles on it of shiny white and blue glitter.

Its quite a handy tool, and easy to grip on hand. Since its plastic, its very light and easy to clean and wash.
The bristles feel quite sharp in a good way that they go deep in your hair and grooms very easily without much pain though, a bit stingy at first use.

However, once you start brushing/stroking the hair there is an instant change in the texture of the hair that left my hair feeling finer, softer and well groomed, like the feeling after blow drying in a salon. Though I admit that my hair is naturally straight and very fine and also is not super tangly, I would recommend this to everyone.

I did have and still do have hair fall, but the amount has been reduced quite a lot. I believe that this hairbrush is ideal to be used all the time specially in the windy seasons when the hair seems to be dry and tangly the most.

Doing a research on this hairbrush I came up to view that the Tangle Teezer concept was rejected by the five tycoons on Dragons Den's. But I salute Mr, Shaun P who did not lose his hope and now has reached such a height of success.

I love the hairbrush and I am happy for this investment because I know that it will last me a long time giving me a super soft fine looking hair and de tangling them with ease!!
