Mini elf haul and reviews!

I've only recently found out about eyeslipsface.com, and I have no idea why I hadn't found heard about this website earlier!
So as I was browsing about on the website I decided to go for my first order, I've never really ordered makeup off of the internet before, I'm too scared about the colour differences and generally not getting what I thought I was getting when the package arrives, but I went for it and bought 3 items.
I bought the makeup mist and set, the eyebrow kit and the wet gloss lash and brow mascara.

Makeup Mist and Set £3.75 - So far I like this product, the bottle says that it contains aloe, green tea, cucumber and vitamins A, C and E, which explains why when you spray this on your face you feel so refreshed! I do think this helps to keep my makeup on all day and would repurchase this.

Wet Gloss Lash and Brow Clear Mascara £1.50 - Im 50/50 on this so far, im unsure if it actually does anything!? Ive tried this out a few times, but I mostly bought this for the eyebrow end rather than the eyelash end and Ive mostly been using the gel in the eyebrow kit I bought so maybe I need to try it out a bit more before I decide.

Eyebrow Kit £3.75- I bought this kit in medium after a long debate whether to chose the meduim or dark, but better to be lighter and build than too dark I guess? So far I really like this little kit it does its job well! It comes with a handy brush to apply it with too, always a bonus. I willl deffos be getting this again!

Let me know if any of you liked/didnt like these products or any more e.l.f products?

Face Care Essentails!

So I went into Boots the other day in search of some face mask as I have fell in love with using them, they are SO good for your skin, and Boots had a 3 for 2 offer on across most of their skin care so I couldnt resist in picking up 2 more items, heres what I got ...

First of all I got the 3 minute clay mask from the boots essentials range ( the only think i went in for, oops!) This mask is for all skin types and contains extracts of cumcumber to soothe your skin and is smells so refreshing! I used this last night and first of all I was shocked to find it did its magic in the 3 minutes it claims to and it did leave my skin feeling smooth and super clean. Another advantage was that it was a bargin at £2 which i thought was a good deal as i think ill get quite a bit of use out of it, if you ask me.. go out and get it!

I then saw the Biore pore strips that Id reecently seen on a few beauty bloggers videos and blogs so I decided to get them. I've tried these before a longgg time ago and didnt really get on with them, Im not sure if they were the Biore ones but they just didnt seem to work with them. I so desperatley wanted them to work that I decided to give them another try and they really do work and its easy, just place a strip on your nose for 15 mins and your pores are unclogged! These were £7.99 and worth a try I think!

Lastly I got the tea tree and witch hazel clensing and toning lotion (you cant really see on the photo as the bottles clear) Ive been using this as a toner beacuse Ive not got one and thought I should add a toner to my skin car routine, it is a good product and really cleans your face just by wiping it with a cotton wool pad and you can tell, the tea tree and which hazel give a beaut refreshing feeling and its only £3.59!

Anyone bought any note worthy skin products latley?
Or tried any of these products?

Sheer Cover Review

Ever heard of Sheer Cover?
No?
I'd not heard of it till the other day when my mumu showed it me and so we turned on the shopping channels on the TV to have a closer look at the products. When I first saw it, I got excited for it as it said that it was mineral makeup designed to produce a flawless natural look and the people on the scrren looked amazing so I decided to buy a pack and try it out! Heres what came in the pack...

Sheer Cover Introductory Kit : £39.99

The kit comes with, a foundation brush, a concealer brush, concealer in 2 shades to mix, mineral foundation in 2 shades, primer and a palette with blusher, 2 lipgloss' and 4 eyeshadows and a mascara (which i may have lost! sorry about that!) They also throw in  little book with tip and tricks of using the sheer cover makeup.
Overall I have to say I was pretty dissapointed with the products, I had high hopes for the concealer especially as on TV in was able to cover birthmarks, acne and blemishes but it just didnt work for me and ive resorted sticking to my own liquid foundation with has a much better coverage than the pots of mineral powder here. I do  use the powder over my liquid base but I dont think I would just wear the powder.
Of course this is my experience and the products may work wonders for you but it just didnt give me the coverage i was looking for without having to use rediculous amounts!

Have any of you tried Sheer Cover?
What do you think to it?
