Estee Lauder DayWear review...

They say " Super Anti-Oxidant Complex DayWear helps safeguard skin with advanced broad-spectrum sunscreen and our best UVA defense. Reduces the appearance of first signs of ageing, like dullness and fine, dry lines."

At the age of 21 I don't think I am quite the target market for this product and therefore, may not be able to see what this product can truly deliver.  Nevertheless I enjoyed using this product a lot. The packaging is nice although I think for the price of £39 it would have been nice to have it in a glass jar. It was the scent of this cream that first hit me, it has the distinct sent of cucumber so if you don't like that then stay away. Cucumber to me make me feel fresh and awake and so it was a hit. It sunk into the skin splendidly feeling thick but not over loading on the skin. It didn't leave any nasty residue either. I wouldn't say it was hugely hydrating and is much more for combination skin than dry. 

One thing that stuck me was they recommend you use it morning and night yet is has an SPF 15 so does not strike me as a product for night time use. On a positive side at least you only need one cream to do both your am and pm routine which for the price I would hope so.

Eatee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Review...

I got a sample of this in a gift with purchase that I got from Estee Lauder which I talked about here. Now I think the Advanced Night Repair Eye cream isn't really targeted at my age group nevertheless I have had very dry skin over the winter months. Having dry skin can sometimes make my concealer look a little cakey so I smoothed a bit of this on over night and it worked wonders on my dry skin leaving it super soft. It didn't get rid of my dark circles (Due to final year uni deadlines, anyone else in the position?) but then I don't think the cream is supposed to.  

As you can see from the bottom picture it is more likely a thick oily gel than a cream. It is almost greasy in texture however, the benefit of this is that a little goes a long way I only used the smallest dab ever on each eye and it spreads under the eye area so easily and smoothly. Even though it is pricey because you need so little I guess it justifies the price. I think I might use this every few days to tackle dryness as it is too rich for me to use every day. 

Does anyone have any recommendations for an eye cream to banish dark circles?

Revlon Cherries In The Snow Review...

This is a Lipstick I brought a while back but really love. Revlon's  Cherries In The Snow is a  beautiful red that still has a strong hue of pink. This therefore makes wearing it less scary than a full on pillar box red lippy. While I am blonde I think this colour would look amazing on brunettes.The picture above make my one look like it has been in the wars but, the lid fell off in my bag on a night out. They do a matching nail varnish in the same colour which without stating the blindingly obvious is a very nice cherry colour. It applies nicely to the lips with a slightly gloss finish and I like to wear it with a clear gloss over the top with a simple eye for a really nice statement lip without being too out there.  I have added the picture of a really red lippy to try and show you the pink hues of this one.

Current beauty blow out wishes

1. YSL Rouge volupte lipsticks are always something that I have lusted over their luxe packaging is  just divine. I would be more than happy to find a place for one or two of these beauties however, my bank balance would not be so happy about this little splurge. One day though...

2. The Urban Decay Naked Basic Palette just seem to scream essential to me. I think I would forever reach for this for months to come. I don't even think it is a bad price at £20. I could definitely justify this far more than a YSL lipstick. 

3. The OZ Glinda palette is another perfect palette from Urban Decay it is just so pretty to look at. It retails for £35 so I wont be grabbing this any time soon.

4. The OZ Theodora Palette (can any one see a theme happening here) is yet again a palette form Urban decay. It might just be me but I feel that until Urban Decay introduced their new build your own palettes these would have just been combined into one book of shadows, like the amazing Alice in wonderland one,  for about £35-40 making them really good value and a payday treat. 

What would be your beauty blow out if money wasn't an issue?
