New box set with moisturiser from Chloe

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:59:58 +0000

So im really loving this new box set from Chloe which comes with both moisturiser and perfume which i think is a really great combo. One thing that im not so sure about is the price tag as its coming in at around $110 which is alot for quite a small box set. I mean i remember it wasn’t that long ago that channel was doing a 4 piece set for under $100!

Still with the prices in the fashion world in a non stop move upwards i think we just have to put up with some of the more extravagant prices that we are starting to see. Even with all this being said Chloe have a great reputation in the perfume world so your not going to be disappointed no matter how much you pay!

Estee Lauder Make Up Brushes

Finding a good brush is never easy, so i think it always pays to go with a good name like Estee Lauder. However its not cheap at the same time coming in at around £30 which is alot for just one brush and not a set. Also when you compare it to Laura Mercier brushes which are in the same range but half the price it doesn’t seem like the same bargin.

Still if you are a brush girl them im sure you are going to like this as the feel is second to none and Estee Lauder have a really good rep for being durable.

So i was in boots again (are you noticing a theme here?) and i spotted this Max Factor Second skin foundation at the ridiculous price of £14! I remember a year ago it was over £30 so this is really a great discount, as this is a great product!

Ive had alot of recommendations about this Max factor product before as it doesn’t collect around the eyes and eyebrows like some other foundations. Check it out at www.boots.com

For a long time acne has been see to be the preserve of teenage boys but its a little known fact that many women of all ages also suffer from it. There have been many products on the market for acne over the years to help with treatment but none specifically aimed at the beauty market.

Clear cell have an extensive range from masks to scrubs and gels. They can help with a wide range of conditions including skin inflammation and sores too.

Face Atelier Foundations that dont budge

This is a new foundation coming from Canada is supposed to be one of the most reliable on the market as its makers say it literally wont budge. They are even claiming its a second skin!

High pigmentation and a water resistant formula, as well as a soft-focus finish are what made it the choice of Madonna’s make up artists for the Confessions. So what do you guys think? Has anyone used this yet?

Melvita Hydrastim Moisturiser

So i was checking out this new Melivta Hydrastim moisturiser in boots the other day and it looks really good. The main point for this new product is that it doesn’t interfere with your foundation and i think that this is really important when dealing with many of todays acrylic foundations.

Its not cheap at £20 for a moisturiser but i suppose you do get what you pay for. At the same time i have a friend who swears by E45 which is around £3 for a big tub!

Neals makes a difference to your skin

I was out shopping the other day and i saw this great new orange flower moisturiser from Neals. Makes a difference from all the dull and boring E45 ranges i see all the time. I also know thats its a time of year when we all make promises to ourselves for better skin so there’s really no reason not to start off with sometime “extra special” for your skin.
