Lipstick of the Month: Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector in "RosewoodShimmer"
MakeErinOver Monday 28 March 2016
So technically this is not a lipstick, but I hope you forgive me.
So the Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector is a hyped up product, I don't know any of the YouTubers who do not own this, so I decided one day to go check it out at the Clarins counter. Needless to say it won me over. The smell is incredible, sweet vanilla, and that was a big draw to making me need this in my stash.
Embossed in the same way as the blush the new lid pop has a beyond stunning flower pattern which will break your heart to use.
I have been using this for about two weeks now, the local Clinique counter had them in stock early and were selling early too, YAY!
I really do love products which have earned their cult status, and no other eyeshadow palette has done as well as the Naked Trio. My favourite of the 3 is 100% the first one. Even with its horrid valour packaging, funnily enough I have actually grown to love it.
This without a doubt is my most loved palette, if I could only have one for the rest of my life - this would be it. It is also the one I recommend to newbies to the beauty world.. such a good alrounder.
The most popular option is the Z-Palette, but DANG, dey expensive. Especially when its cardboard. I HATE cardboard packaging, it makes me want to cry. lol. So the idea of spending £15 for it just wasn't appealing... so it has put me off for months.
Next option was storing them in my MAC palette - without the insert, but something about it just seemed wrong.. I didn't fully trust it not to break them into a million pieces if I dropped it.
Less is more. Quality not Quantity. Honest stash posts, first of a series, hope you all enjoy :)
So here is my warning, some of you may be shocked by how little my stash is, others may think its over the top. But I overthink EVERYTHING I buy, and any makeup I do buy tends to be to treat myself, because of this you will see a lot of highend.. quality over quantity.

New month, new empties.
This month is definitely candle heavy, and there I was thinking I had improved my usage... Turns out not! Oh well :)
So here are the things I have completely used up this month, hope you enjoy :)
1. Champney's "a little pick me up" (£6.50)
Seriously this stuff has lasted forever, almost 3 months to be exact - and I definitely don't use just a little bit... I use a good 4-5 pumps each day. Beginning to feel the cost is more than justified. 200ml in one bottle, but it comes out as a mousse, amazing stuff!
2. Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo & Conditioner (£5.99 each full size)
Been using these after swimming, really is ideal for getting rid of the just been swimming feel out of your hair! :)
3. Eve Lom Sample Rescue Mask (£35 50ml size)
I really HATED the smell of this, and it wasnt amazing enough to be anywhere near worth the cost. Instead I would recommend the Lush Fresh Face Masks. So much cheaper (and better) Go for the Love Lettuce, very similar to this, but smells a million times better and has the same results (sorry Eve Lom)
4. Boots Nail Varnish Remover Pads (£1.50)
I have been through so many of these now, they really are the best out there, even better than quickies in my opinion :)
The candles...
-An epic 59 tea lights.
-7 wax melts (mostly the glade Apple ones)
-A reed infused thing from Tesco in Salted Caramel
-A pear woodwick candle
-A berry trifle small Yankee
-And the cranberry pear large Yankee. (you can read about this here)
Yes I have issued when it comes to candles, I just love them :)
What have you used up this month? What candles are you loving? Let me know in the comments below :)
Meh, just writing the title bores me, I HATE food shopping. Household shopping is dull and expensive, but after speaking to some people (my mum, colleagues, friends etc) I realise how much money you could be potentially loosing on something as basic as food. So here is my top guide on how to save money on boring stuff... so you can buy more makeup (haha)
here is my guide to how to save money and still spend makeup, worth checking out once you are finished this one of course :)
