L'Oreal Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil Reivew

I love freebies! Not long ago, I received an email offering me a sample of of L'Oreal's Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil. I filled in my details and after 2 months of waiting, I finally received my freebie sample. I received a 20ml bottle of weightless, natural and healthy tan.

This is perfect for summer contouring and highlighting as it's so lightweight and it can be used on top of your foundation or just on its own. 

Don't be scared that it might look too dark, it actually is not. If I could refer you to the swatches above, it looks dark but after blending, you will get a 'soft glow' and not the oompa loompa orange glow other bronzers tend to give you. If you're planning a night out, I would suggest you double up and try to use a beauty blender for a more finished look. It also has a little shimmer to it (not visible on the swatches) due to the gold micro-fine particles in the formula. It also smells quite nice - like fresh summer cotton.

Summer is near and L'Oreal Glam Bronze Eau De Soleil the perfect bronzer for that natural looking tanned skin. Try it and see for yourself.

My First Horror Block

Here's another subscription box for you - if you like anything horror that is. I found this box when I was contemplating my break up with other sub services. This is the HORROR BLOCK, the gruesome brother of NERD BLOCK.

This is another monthly subscription service from Canada. It's $19.99 per month plus $12.50 shipping, so roughly around £19-£20 depending on the exchange rate. 

Both Nerd and Horror Blocks include a selection of tshirt (or 2), toys, magazine, Pop Characters and other novelty items. This box includes:

The BF wanted the monthly T-shirts and I get to play with the other stuff in the box. This box is mostly about Hannibal. I got a Hannibal heart stress toy, a Hannibal T-shirt and some Hannibal stickers. Inside the box was a copy of Fangoria Magazine, a Cthulhu Car Suction Sign, a Godzilla Headphone accessory, a DVD of Tales from the Cryptkeeper and last but not the least, my favourite, a film cell from the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street.

I'm really pleased with this box and I'm looking forward to more boxes to come.

Blotting Paper - Which is better?

I have really oily skin, even during winter and therefore increases my risks of getting monstrous adult acne. I have two blotting papers to compare today, DHC Oil Blotting Paper and Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets. 

DHC Oil Blotting Paper is made from 100% all-natural hemp fibres and helps mattify your skin. It comes beautifully packaged with 100 sheets of oil control goodness. It's a bit thinner than my usual blotting paper but it does what it says on the packaging. 

KLEENEX Shine Absorbing Sheets. Each pack comes in a wallet with 50 purple, powder free, recyclable paper. The sheets are a bit thicker 
than the DHC ones and they don't break easily as the DHC blotting paper. Then again, I don't dab, I drag the paper across my face furiously to remove my excess oil. 

If you are budget conscious and would like to get more for your money, I would recommend the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets as they're more affordable than the DHC Blotting Paper. However, if you're more interested in what's in your products, then the DHC Blotting Papers are a lot better. Personally, I like the DHC paper but I'm a bit budget conscious so I normally buy the Kleenex Sheets.

Get Organised!

I live in a small flat in London and space is very dear. That's why I have to find a way to organise my collection that's both space saving and cost effective. The answer? Acrylic Organisers. 

This Lipstick Organiser holds up to 24 lipsticks/ lip glosses/ lip lacquers. It's not the prettiest of organiser but it does the job and at £2.27 and free UK delivery, you can't go wrong. 

This multi-purpose organiser looks a lot sturdier than the lipstick organiser. This can be used as a jewellery box or a stationary box. Personally, it looks better as a makeup/ cosmetic organiser. It's perfect for storing your samples, pencils, mascara, serums, etc. Now I just need an organiser for my makeup pallets and blushes.

How do you store your cosmetics?
