Forever Living Natural Products Review

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well :)  I have had the privilege of trying out some products from Forever Living thanks to my local distributor Vivienne.  I have never tried anything from Forever Living and as you know me I love trying out new brands.  

I know some of you may not know what is Forever Living I am going to give you a brief introduction :) :) 

Rex Maughan is the founder of Forever Living and with his passion for better health, quality products and financial freedom that inspired him to produce Forever Living Products in 1978.  His plan was simple.  Offer consumable products to the public that are proven to promote lasting wellness and health—and do it in a personal way.

So How was he  going to do that!!!! Only by producing Beauty products that is 100% natural and made from natural ingredients.  Not only that Rex wanted to do more for the community by creating Forever Giving which was founded in 2009 to provide a way for customers and Distributors to donate funds to global improvement. It partners with charitable organizations globally to fight against poverty, hunger, and the lack of medical services available for children. The foundation also supports relief efforts in response to natural disasters.

Pretty good in my eyes and to be honest I would feel pretty darn great to purchase at least one item from them on a regular basis knowing that the money is going to a good cause plus been beneficial to my skin.  

There are so many products to choose from and to be honest for natural product are priced very reasonably.  So let me share with you my experiences on the 4 products Vivienne sent me 

First up 

Forever Bright Alo Vera Toothgel:  Retails at €7.50......... Described as a gentle, non-fluoride formula combining 100% stabilized aloe vera gel with bee propolis.  
Been honest the first thing I noticed when I first got this was the words NO FLOURIDE!!!!!! I thought what why sure thats the main ingredient in toothpaste as Flouride helps fight tooth decay.  Well fear not as the ingredient Bee Propolis is literally the same thing only natural.  In fact Bee propolis helps against gum disease mouth ulcers and all of those mouth and gum problems we might experience in our days.  
Now to be honest I am not a fan of the taste of this tooth paste to me it tastes like bread soda with a tint of peppermint in it but it does clean your teeth well 

My favourite toothpaste at the moment is Oral B as it has that minty freshness and longlasting clean feeling in my mouth.  I have to admit I do not feel that with this tooth gel.  I do find my kiddies enjoy it more that me and their teeth look sparkling as a result of using it everyday.  They reason they love it is that it doesnt have that strong minty taste they all tend to hate.  If you are one who is like kiddies you will love this but for me I prefer my old time favourite. 
Next up is 

Avocado Face & Body Soap: Retailing at €6........  They describe this product as This pure and gentle soap bar contains the rich, moisturizing properties of avocado butter, leaving your face and body feeling wonderfully smooth and clean. Its fresh citrus scent will invigorate you each time you bathe.

Avocado is a rich source of vitamins A, B, D and E.  Contains antioxidants to help combat free radicals

I personally find it very very hard to let any soap especially barred soap near my face.  I have always had an alergic reaction to soap on my face.  I end up with eyes stinging and face burning up for hours afterwards.  Its horrible and I have used soap in years because of that.  Now obviously if you are buying this for your face you would need another for your body.  

So I put this to the test on my face first before using it elsewhere and to be honest I had a lovely experience while washing my face with the scent and of course with washing.  It lathers up to give your face a complete cleansing experience.  I have no burning sensation or any rash after washing.  My face felt smooth soft and of course squeeky clean the only fault I had with it was it did sting my eyes as I did use it over my eyes to see would it effect them or sting them and they did so be careful.  Afterwards I used this on my body in which I will continue to use and the same experience happened, lovely soft smooth skin and this soap is perfect to use for shaving as it lathers up beautifully So Thumbs up for this little beauty for sure :) :) 

Forever Hand Sanitizer Retailing at €3.80 ...... Described as designed to kill 99.99% of germs. Our moisturizing formula contains skin-soothing stabilized Aloe Vera gel along with the hydrating goodness of honey.

You have no Idea How much I am loving this hand sanitizer right now and I will surely be ordering more.  For the past week the Stomach Bug has been in my house with both myself and my oldest daughter been sick we had to be extra careful with our hands and not spreading that horrible bug.  Of course once a bug is in the house its stays there until it gets everyone in there and my little man has it today.  I have this little beauty to fight the germs and kill the bug and get rid of it once and for all.  This smells amazing and the scent lingers for some time too.  Not only that it doesnt dry out my hands which I have to admit most hand sanitizers always ends up doing because of the alcohol in it.  I find most sanitizers hard on my already dry hands but this little beauty hasnt dried them out any more. 

Forever Aloe Lip Balm:  Retailing at €3.75 ............. Described that The soothing properties of Aloe Vera are ideally suited to care for your lips. Aloe, Jojoba and Beeswax combine to create the finest all-season lip product on the market today. Aloe Lips with Jojoba soothes, smoothes and moisturizes chapped and dry lips.

This is by far my favourite out of the bunch.  With the cooler weather coming in I will surely be stocking up on lip balms.  This lip balm is surely an all year round lip balm.  Its suitable for those hot summer days and those wintery cold months.  I am totally amazed at how easy this balm is to apply.  Its so soft and creamy and takes literally 1 second to apply all over the lips.  My lips look glossy, plump and most of all moisturised.  

This lip balm contains Jojoba oil which is rich in Vitamin E and B.  Pure jojoba oil provides a simple, natural way restore moisture to your lips so they become smoother and softer.  Really what more do you need from a lip balm :) :) 

Have you every tried Forever Living yet.  To find out more information on the company and its products Check out their website and if you feel like trying anything from there contact Vivienne on her Facebook page or of course your local distributor 

I hope you found this review helpful 

Until next time

Makeup Revolution Defence Anti Bacterial Serum and Primer

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well

Today's Review is on Makeup Revolution Defence Anti Bacterial Serum and Primer in which I

 am sure alot of you Make-up Revolution Fans are waiting to see more of. 

 I am kind of guessing that because of the fact that this is one of the more pricier products of the site and I know alot of you would rather see if it is worth it :)  

Well I am one of those people who can now tell you what I think of it so far.  

I have been using this non stop for the past 2 weeks so I feel I am ready to give you my final verdict :) 

Let me tell you all little about the Anti Bacterial Serum and Primer and what Makeup Revolution Promises :) 

DEFENCE Anti Bacterial Serum and Primer SOOTHES, PROTECTS, and PRIMES the skin, READY FOR YOUR MAKEUP. 

The gentle formula for all skin types is enriched with VITAMINS A, B, B5 AND E to help prevent spots and blemishes and protecting the skin throughout the day , and at night , allowing it to naturally heal.

Vitamin A for the skin is brilliant as it helps prevent wrinkles 
Vitamin B for the skin is brilliant as it also prevents wrinkles but also helps the skin regain moisture that is lost 

Vitamin B5 is great to moisturise, soothe, heal and regenerate the skin.

Vitamin E is great for protecting and repairing your skin. 

 This is what attracted me more to buying the Defence Anti Bacterial Serum and Primer as I am not getting any younger and I really do want to look after my skin as best I can and if I can get a serum and primer all in one that actually works well I am a happy camper but most of all I like to find the best one that will not break the bank either.  

With this costing only £10 and containing 30mls this is surely going to last a long time.  

The bottle itself is handy as it comes with a pump which is super hygenic.  Not only that but you can also unscrew the lid and scoop out the amount you desire.  

I have to admit when I did unscrew the lid I was super impressed with the fact that this bottle is literally full to the top well done Makeup Revolution ;) 
The Serum and Primer comes looks like a white moisturiser.  The cream is thick so one pump will do your entire face and neck but It does soak into the skin very quickly and doesn't feel oily or heavy on the skin.  What I love about this is that it actually feels like a moisturiser on my face and my face looks clean and fresh after applying it 

I have actually got into a habit of applying this in the morning and at night time in replacement of my moisturiser and find my skin feels smooth soft and healthy.  I have also found this has helped keep my makeup looking fresh all day long.  I also love that this is brilliant for people who suffer with large pores and fine lines as it acts like a barrier for your skin before you apply the foundation.  You know the way sometimes you apply your foundation and notice your pores are very visible especially when you are warm well this definitely makes your pores look less visible.  Thats thumbs up for me :)

No Shine and no oily residue

 My foundation has been looking alot more flawless so much so people have actually commented on how good my makeup goods lately Thanks Makeup Revolution :) :) 

Whats even more great about this Serum and Primer is that there its fragrance free, Dermal logically tested and is suitable for all skin types 

I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an all in one cream It would save you alot of money when you think about buying everything you are getting from this separately.  As to the quote about it been a acne healer I cant help you with that one as I do not suffer with acne but for a good daytime moisturiser and primer this is the perfect package :) 

Have you tried it yet ?  Would it be something you would be looking for ?

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

W7 In The Buff & In The Nude Natural Nudes Eye Colour Palettes

Hello My Beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Today I am sharing with you 2 new palettes I have added to my collection 

I am not going to compare these to the famous Naked Palettes but you will get the idea as you see the shades that they are yet another dupe form of them :) :) 

I was super excited to see these come into my local pharmacy as I have heard so much about the first palette been so good.  So When I seen the two of them there I just had to grab them.  

These palettes cost me €9.95 each but I think in some places the prices vary and I have heard people have paid up to €12 per palette.  Each palette has 12 eyeshadows.

Lets talk a little about the packaging which I have to admit is adorable and so handy.  The eyeshadows come in a tin case which is so reassuring as I know that if I drop it my eyeshadows will be as right as rain :)  Each eyeshadow palette comes in a different shade palette which is also handy as you can tell which is which.   I have to admit its obvious W7 are making dupes out of the Naked 2 & 3 simply by the shade of the other packaging :)

Starting with the first Palette "In The Buff"

Inside the palette you are greeted by a beautiful selection of neutral shades and also a plastic covering to protect you shadows.  Included is a double ended brush which on one end contains a sponge applicator and on the other end an small flat brush which is perfect for packing on eyeshadows :) 

This palette as you will see contains 3 mattes and 9 shimmery/satin shades.  

So starting with shades 

Buff:  This is a very pigmented matte yellow toned shade a perfect base for your look or brow bone shade if you are using alot of shimmer on the lid.  

Camel:  This is a nice shimmery gold shade but to be honest I found it less pigmented to Buff.  It is buildable and gives a lovely payoff after building 

Sand:  A Lovely champagne near white highlight shade.  This shade is very pigmented with tiny shimmers I love using this as a highlight on the inner tear duct or on the brow bone 

Dust:  A Deep shimmery rose gold which is veering towards a coppery gold.  I adore this shade on the lid as it really brings out the green in my eyes.  Hugely pigmented but I have found can be a little chalky so this shade is better patted on the lid for less fall out 

Chocolate:  This is another matte shade and as you can see the shade is true to what it looks like in the pan.  A medium brown and a perfect transition shade I also love to use this to blend out harsh lines.  The pigmentation is not a strong as the rest but is again buildable 

Topaz:  A Deep shimmery dark brown bronze.  This is hugely pigmented.  You only need a little for this to go a long way.  The only thing I have to say is that it can be a little chalky and you will experience fall out but once your careful there shouldnt be too much mess.

Earth:   A very light golden brown shade quite shimmery but highly pigmented for such a light shade :) 

Storm:  A deep shimmer grey with a brown undertone to it.  This is highly pigmented a little goes a long way 

Silk:  This is a very pigmented pale pinky silver shade a very unique and stunning colour I have never seen anything like it :) 

Wave:  A beautiful Bronze taupe shade with silver shimmers.  This is less pigmented than expected but buildable 

Thunder:  I love this shade :)  This is a deep dark brown with a purple undertone.  This is so pigmented and yes there will be fall out but I just love it so much its stunning 

Onyz:  A Matte Black and surprise surprise a very pigmented jett black I am so thrilled with this shade :) :) 

All swatches are made with no primer underneath :) :) and of course in natural light :)  Click on the photo for a closer look :) 

Here is a simple look I created with the palette :) 

Last but not Least is the 2nd palette "In The Nude"

I have to admit I prefer the packaging on this pallete over the first one.  Its prettier and I love the rose gold colour on it :)  It actually looks a little more expensive :) 

So let me begin by saying that this is my most favourite simply because I love the shades.  Pinks and purples are my most favourite because they work better for my eye colouring.  They have always been my favourite shade and they fact that they are all in one palette make me a happy girl ;) 

Stunning Right?!

Well lets begin with 

Latte:  A Stunning Matte champagne shade :) a perfect highlight shade or even a perfect lid colour to make you eyes more wide awake :) 

Angel:  This shade is absolutely stunning and one of my favourites :)  A stunning baby pink with silver shimmer.  I have to admit you will have glitter fallout from this shade as the glitter is a little chunky but I tend to do my eyes before my face makeup when using this shadow :) 
Venice:  A Stunning satin peach pink another great shade and looks stunning on the lid very pigmented and no fall out 
Marilyin:  A Matte pinky mauve shade this I have to admit is not very pigmented its very sheer and maybe best used just to blend out harsh lines 
Copper Pot:  A stunning shimmery Copper Rose shade I am in love again this shade can be a little chalky and will cause glittery fall out but hugely pigmented 
Sun Kissed:  A metallic copper gold shade with a slight hint of rose in there this is stunning and very pigmented 
Alice:  A pinky Mauve matte shade very pigmented and blends like a dream.  
Bad Manners:  A shimmery medium golden brown with a hint of mauve going through.  The more of this shadow you use the more the mauve shows :) :) 
Coffee Cup:  A Deep brown with golden shimmers and also when caught in the light you will see pinky shimmers this is a stunning shade and very very pigmented 
Mud Slide:  A Satin Taupe with a slight greyish finish this is less pigmented than I thought but build able 
Tokyo:  A Deeper Taupe with more of a grey effect this has very little shimmer going through it and alot more pigmented that Mud Slide.  A little goes a long way with this baby 
Fashionista:  A very deep blackened browny/purple I say this because it looks purple in the palette yet I get more of a dark brown with a hint of purple when I swatch it.  .  This shade has red shimmer going through.  A lovely shadow to use but has fallout and can be mess as its a dark one so eye makeup before the face make-up I would advise 
All swatches made with no primer underneath 

This is a simple day time romantic look I created using this palette You see how the 2nd shade in this palette brings out the green in my eye This is why I love that shade so much :) :) 

Overall The pigmentation is pretty good for the price of the palettes.  I have to say there is alot more fallout from these palettes than some cheaper palettes I have used.  I have to say the 2nd palette is my favourite out of the two as the colours are warm romantic and alot more fun.  The lasting power is great on these once you use a primer you will find they will last all day long 
  I have some better news for you all. 
 If you like what you see I have found a website that sells these palettes for an even more affordable price.  Cara Pharmacy Website are selling these for only €6 each Happy days :) :)  W7 is also coming out with a new palette in which I can not wait to get my hands on and will surely be grabbing the moment its available, its looks so beautiful.  Clue: its called " In The Night"  I will let your imaginations take over now :) ;) Until I get my hands on it and do a review of course ;) 
I hope you all enjoyed this review and I just want to add that I finally got my hands on a brand new laptop so you will now see plenty of posts for me again from now on xxxxx
Until Next Time

New Summer Launch from Blank Canvas Cosmetics

Hello My beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Today I am going to share with you some of Blank Canvas Cosmetics Latest New Releases in one Blog post.  Reason for that is because hey lets not beat about the bush I absolutely love and adore Blank Canvas and their products.  To be honest from the moment I starting getting Products from their website I have never once been disappointed.  Top quality products and brushes for such affordable prices.  When I hear of new products coming our way I cant contain myself I just have to get all.  

So today I will show you what new and what my favourites are out off all :) :) 

First up of course is the New Brush Clutch :) 

The newly launched Bc Brush Clutch is ideal for storing your brush collection.  Contains 10 large brush slots , enough to hold 10 large face brushes /or approx 20 eye brushes/a combination of both. 

 The Brush Clutch is made of a soft plush faux leather.  It can be easily transported, ideal for travel. Also, can hold eye/lip pencils. 

This love case will only cost you €22.99 and to be honest with the quality been so strong its so worth it.  I love the feel of this case as its soft leather.  Not only that but if you have any spillage of makeup on the case its so easy to clean.  I for one like using this for my double ended brushes as its hard to store them any other way without squashing one end.  I also love how slim this is meaning you can even fit this in your biggest handbag I for one can vouch for that one :).  

The Next New Product is The Large and Small R20 Flat Buffer aka The Large and Small Retractable version of the Famous F20

You all know my favourite brush to apply liquid and cream foundations is my F20 brushes I use them every single day.  I also use them to apply my translucent powder to set my makeup and sometimes bringing my F20 in my handbag can be annoying as it can be too big or it can get destroyed and of course Blank Canvas Cosmetics been run by wonderful women have fixed that problem with us.  They have now made our favourite F20 into a Large and Small Retractable brush.  

There is nothing really different between the two apart from the the length.  The brush itself is the same size as you will see below 

What I love about these is that they are handbag friendly and even if you use a liquid foundation and want to freshen it up later that day the brush is not going to mess up you bag as you can simply place the lid back over the brush.  Its so hygienic.  These are also great for your powder when you need to freshen up later in the day too.  Brilliant idea once again :)   The Large retractable brush costs €14.00 and the Small costs €13.99.  They also come in pink LOVE IT.  

 Next up is The New F42 Large Contour/Powder Brush 

This brush sort of reminded me of another brush I own which is the F16 Large tapered contour/powder brush only this has synthetic fibres which means you can use this with both powdered and cream products :) :)  This is a brilliant multi-purpose brush.  Perfect for contouring, for applying blush for applying powder all over the face.  I love how soft this brush is and how easy this is to clean.  

This brush is only €14.99 and worth every last cent :) 

Next up is The F40 Small Tapered Contour Brush 
This brush is the BOMB!!!!!! 

This brush is the perfect Sculpting, contouring , highlight and blending brush.  Not only that but you can use this with liquid creams and powders as it has Synthetic Fibres :)   I love how well this fits around my face for the perfect contoured finish.  Now you all know how much I adore the new f30 for contouring I literally use it everyday with my powder contouring kit but if I want to use cream contour I have this little beauty to do the job nicely 

Its the perfect size brush to get the areas you want.  The tip allows you to have the control you want.  I also love to use this to apply highlight to my cheek bones its the perfect fit for any sized face.  I highly recommend this for sure 
Costing only €13.99 I will surely be grabbing another for my kit 

Lastly is The E42 Pointed Socket Blending Brush 

Oh boy oh boy I love this brush !!! If you dont know already my main love when it comes to makeup is eyes and of course you need the right brushes to achieve the best eye makeup looks you want.  This is one brush I love love love.  The Pointed Socket Blending brush works amazing on every eye shape.  At the moment the cut crease look is in and what better way to achieve that than with the help of the E42 :) 

Weither you have small eyes, large eyes or even hooded eyes this little beauty is going to work on any eye.   If you do not have a crease and need to create one this too will help you do that :) Definately worth €6.99 Another one is added to my wishlist for sure :) Of course you dont have to only use this for the eyes.  I have used this to highlight the tops of my cheek bones, To set my concealer under the eyes this too is the perfect multi-purpose brush suitable for those hard to reach places :) 

So There you have it Blank Canvas Cosmetics Latest New Releases and this is not all of them so if you are curious to find out what else is on offer check out their website as I have also added more to my wishlist to try out :) :) 
I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you have tried any new items from BCC :)
