Battle balms | Holy Chic

For the longest time now, I have struggled with chapped lips and even worse than that, I have struggled with finding the best lip balm to help with that.

No I know Vaseline is one people always recommend but even still I feel like my lips need a little something.

After reading countless blog posts on these three that I am going to share with you, I thought it was time for me to share my thoughts on them

 
Babylips in hydrate: this is most definitely one product that I will never buy again. With all of the hype surrounding them from the USA to their grand release in the UK, how could I not pick one up for myself? And I have to say, it did nothing for me. It didn’t last long and my lips felt dryer after using it.

Nuxe rev de miel: the hype surrounding this most definitely got to me as I don’t think I could ever comprehend paying 9.00/9.50 for a lip balm. Yeah I know. That’s crazy. But I just tired of struggling with my chapped lips so I thought an investment was time. And I do love this product. I did a detailed post about it here if you want to know more but I do love it.

Carmex: this is something I have seen around for ages and I never thought to try that one but I am glad I did. It really works on the lips and moisturises them whilst soothing them and you may feel a slight tingling when it’s on but it is working. It does last, not as long as id like but it is worth the reapplication.

Now would you believe it, I’m still on the hunt for the hands down best lip balm so any suggestions, please leave them in the comments :)

The multiple uses eyeshadow | Holy Chic

I think that it is time I share with you the many things that I use my MUA mono eyeshadow in black for because sometimes, all you need is the right brush

 

Angled: this is great for a more subtle winged eyeliner look as it really fits to the shape of my eye. It also works great if I am in the mood to fill in my eyebrows just a little

Flat: this is for application all over the lid to aid a smokey eye look. You can distribute the product more evenly and at a larger quantity at a time. Can also be used to set any liquid or gel liner used prior to application

Crease: this is great for deepening a look or making specifically the crease darker. It could also double up as a liner brush for the lid

That’s how I make the most of my £1 eyeshadow. What eyeshadow(s)/pallettes do you get the most use out of?

Hello old friend | Holy Chic

It really was love at first sight and when I thought I could trade it in for a better version, well, it put me in my place and showed me who works best

 

I have tried numerous liquid eyeliners and I ventured my way back to good old Maybelline because it just can’t go wrong. It has a fine tip for precision but with flexibility to curve across the eye but sturdy enough so that it doesn’t bend (but it does slightly at the end after prolonged tlc). Its gives a jet black colour pay off and just is the master of precision. It’s also fairly in expensive so Eyeko, you can suck it because me and Maybelline is a bond you can’t ever break again.

What is your favourite liquid eyeliner at the moment?

Mask me up | Holy Chic

Someone was very silly in my household and decided to throw away my face masks that I usually use because I had squeezed the crap out of them, it looked like I had finished them. That said, it did give me a reason to go to Superdrug and try two of their facemasks. So a blessing in disguise?

 

There is something so satisfying about peeling off a mask off of your face so there were no questions asked when I picked up the refreshing cucumber peel off mask. Although I didn’t get this to peel of very well because...

But when it was off, my skin felt cooled and refreshed and somewhat softer.

Straight to the other end of the spectrum, I also picked up the dead sea mud mask that is detoxifying and I really felt it got into my pores and purified my skin and it just felt better after. It tightens your skin a lot and that to me was an indicator it was working.

 

Superdrug had a buy one get one half price offer on these and with an excuse to purchase, I couldn’t say no.

I hope you guys liked the post and let me know of any face masks you have tried out recently J
