*Comparisons and Reviews

 Bliss Multi-face-eted clay mask - it took me AGES to finish this one. Clay + 10% glycolic mask sounds great. But this thing does NOT wash off easily and stains my wash cloths. To wash it off my face I had to use an oil cleanser! I finally gave up and started using this on my legs as an ingrown hair treatment.

Pixi + CH double cleanse - great. Full review here.

Philip Kingsley Elizastisizer - this is another #carolinehironsmademedoit product. Nice mask/pre-wash treatment for dry coloured hair. I will repurchase.

Philip Kingsley Perfecting Spray - meh. I used this before blow drying my hair and it was alright. But I much prefer the daily defense spray from PK which I am using at the moment.

Ren Flash Rinse 1 minute vit C facial - good. full review here. It oxidised slightly in the end. Will not repurchase. I think when it comes to vit C, serums are the way to go.

Clinique City Block Sheer SPF25 - my favourite. I want to get the SPF40 from the same line but it is sold out everywhere! Argh.






More empties and stuff that just went bad:

Dr Hauschka cleansing cream and toner - both products I like and have used previously. Love the smell and how gentle they are.

MAC Prep+Prime eyelid primer - had this for too long. And there are better primers on the market.

By Terry lip gloss in cupcake glaze (?) - Nice lip gloss. Not worth the price. I did not purchase this. The smell went bad so to the bin it goes.

NYX lip liner - It was okay, I prefer a liner that stays put better. This one was... too creamy.

Eyeko eyeliner - If you're considering buying this, don't. It dried up within weeks and was difficult to use. Get the Stila stay all day eye liner instead ;)

Real Techniques brow brush - this is quite old and the bristles caved in to the brush handle, if that makes any sense.
Rosie for Autograph Lip Glossy is Marks and Spencers take on the crayon style lip product, a trend that seems to have avalanched. Clinique Chubby Sticks, Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencils, Chanel Le Rouge Crayons, Hourglass Lip Stylos, Revlon Colorburst Balms... And those are just the ones I could remember.


 M&S have in this case decided to opt for a very sheer lip gloss type product: 'A jelly soft lip gloss with a cushiony feel, gives lips brilliant colour with a smooth, water shine finish.' 

So it's a lip product that looks like a lip gloss when applied, has texture of a lipstick and is presented as a lip crayon, whatever that is. 


I got the colour Supermodel Smile and I like it. It's a pinky mauvey nude with some silver sparkle. I don't want to use term glitter because I always imagine large pieces of glitter and it's not the case here.

It feels like a lip balm, perhaps slightly stickier however still comfortable and hydrating. Lips look glossy. The staying power is also of a lip balm so one needs to reapply quite often but since it's such a sheer colour the mirror is not really neccesary.


All in all, it is a nice product even if slightly overpriced (£12.50). It is trying and I guess succeeding to look luxe in rose gold and large packaging, but do keep in mind that there's only 2,5g of product, so it's the size of a smallish lipstick. Will I repurchase? Probably not.
