Urban Decay De-Slick Review




I've seen this doing the rounds in the blogasphere and there's been so much hype about setting sprays so I begrudgingly handed over my £23.50 for this product.Let me just say I'm not an oily chica , my skin is normal ,I don't ever have the need to powder my foundation as it lasts without it and I don't get particularly oily throughout the day.

After hearing endless rave reviews about this product I decided to give it a go . I sprayed it right after my primer and after I had my entire face of make-up completed.It gave some more luminosity  to my makeup , without being too dewy.After a day of work I was suprised to find my make-up still looked freshly applied and I found it helped my blush stay put ( my blush usually disappears quite soon after application). I found this was great as a pick me up mid day as it's really refreshing.

 All in all , I would  recommend this product if you need you're makeup to stay put all day and have oily skin as I have been told it has rubbing alcohol in it which can dry skin out.I will not be using this everyday but I think it's great for nights out and special occasions.In the future I would like to try the mac fix plus setting spray to see how it compares and I would love to find a highstreet version and give that a go too.

Review:Boujouris Magic Nail Polish Remover ♥

Boujouris Magic Nail Polish Remover
 I was in boots today,just having a browse, when I spotted this.Having heard a lot of hype about this nail polish remover I decided to use my boots points to get it.Usually I'm not one for gimmicky products (example Maybelline bouncy blush , foam foundation etc) but I thought I'd give it a whirl.So far so good.
As you can hopefully see there is a hole in the middle of what I would describe a sponge like material.You put your fingers ( one at a time) into the hole( get your mind out of the gutter!!!) to remove your nailpolish.Okay I was slightly disappointed to begin with as I literally just stuck my finger in for 1 second....which does nothing.I find to completely remove your polish you need to leave each finger in for maybe 10-20(maybe longer if you had glitter polish on) seconds and swirl your finger in the pot.It does really moisturize then nail and my nails weren't flaky ( as they usually are) when I took my finger out.This smells divine but don't do what I first did and literally stick your nose in the bottle, because man it is strong.Once you take your nails out you get the smell of the red fruit & vanilla fragrance.

Overall I think this is quite a good product, pretty much does what it says on the tin.Would I buy it again? Most definitely.Highly recommended as well for travelling purposes.If you're on the fence about buying it, just go for it.You won't be disappointed.

♥June Wishlist♥

 Chanel Bronze Universal De Chanel- I've been in the market for a new bronzer since my beloved tarte amazonian matt bronzer has ran out and is not available in the UK *loud sigh*.I like the idea of this bronzer, however I haven't been able to get my hands on it as my nearest Chanel counter is three hours away*more sighs*.This is ridiculousy expensive( I think it retails at £29) but I'm trying to justify it by thinking of how pretty the packaging is....and a girl  can never have too much CHANEL right ?
                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                       
                                                                             

 Nars Laguna Bronzer- I'm a bit of a bronzer virgin , perhaps you can tell? Honestly I'm kinda scared of this bronzer.I'm quite pale and I've heard that it can appear orangey on paler complexions.However,I've seen so many rave reviews about this, so I really think I ought to try it myself.Slightly less pricey than the CHANEL, it's £24.50 I think? I've been told there's a hell of a lot of product though so we'll see :) Let the battle of the bronzers commence !!!!
               

 
 Tarte Amazonian Clay blush (tipsy) - Oh tarte, why art thou not available in the UK ????? Luckily for me I have a few realitives coming over soon so they're kinda my  unofficial tarte dealers.I feel like I need this blush in my life, it's the most gorgeous peachy shade.I've been lusting over this for months, I've heard nothing but good reviews on this blush....so yeah....I NEED IT!!!!

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray- Seeing as it's summer I feel a need to embrace my inner beach goddess.Even though there's not much sun here in the UK but oh well.I'm obsessed with Anna from viviannadoesmakeup 's hair and she said she loves this. If it's good enough for anna , it's good enough for me.
 MOROCCANOIL- I've been putting off buying this for so long.I was given the smaller bottle of this for christmas and it's completely gone.My hair really isn't the same without it.I have bleached blonde hair and recently made the mistake of putting a pink dip-dye in it, which has completley killed my hair.MOROCCONOIL is the only thing that helps revive it and now it's all gone and I'm sorry to say my hair now looks and has the texture of one of those troll dolls I had as a kid (I was a strange child).Seriously need this ASAP.If you haven't tried it I really do think you are missing on on life.



Clarins Lip Perfector ( Peach) - Now let me just say, I am not a lipgloss girl.I HATE how sticky it feels and I don't think it does much for me personally except glue my hair to my face ( a look I really can't rock).I bought the rose lip perfector last month after hearing all the hype.It's not even a tad sticky on me and feels strangely moisturizing on my lips and it really does perfect. I'm liking loving all things peach at the moment so this is really high on my list right now !
