REVIEW: Lush Toner Tabs

I recently bought the Tea Tree Oil Toner Tabs from Lush. Steaming your face is a nice treat for your skin after a week of using harsh products throughout the week.

You simply boil some water, pour it into a bowl,drop a tab into the water and it fizzes like a bath bomb for around 30 seconds until you're left with a bowl of light green water. I put a towel over my head and stay over the bowl for around 2-3 minutes each time and then wiped my face in a upwards direction to wipe all the excess dirt out of my pores. It also makes it easier to squeeze at pimples and black heads as your pores are now open.

The smell isn't the greatest in my opinion but these tabs are so good, a real "pick me up" for your skin! They're €1.20 (£1 or $1.95). Once you're done with the water you can put it into a bottle and use it as a tea tree toner water for around two weeks.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone as they're a cheap alternative to actual tea tree oil or cleansers.

REVIEW: L'oréal Paris La Palette Nude in 01 Rose

Hi everyone!

So whilst I was doing my Christmas shopping in December, I was in Boots. Boots were doing some excellent deals with their makeup. The thing that I was most intrigued with was the new L'oréal Paris La Nude Palette ( when you spent over 20 euros on L’oréal you got a box full of makeup products worth 40 euros, that was mainly the reason why I would've been buying it). I decided to buy it for my mam as she's really into makeup and she'd love the colours, having bought her the Naked Palette 2 by Urban Decay, and the colours were quite subtle.

La Palette Nude is quite small and compact so its perfect for travelling. The packaging is attractive with a glossy finish and the case secures well so you don't have to worry about it opening in the end of your handbag. In the palette there are 10 shades: 4 mattes and 6 shimmers. There is a double ended brush which I wouldn’t be fond on as not a lot of powder goes on the brush and the palette has a good sized mirror.

The colours are quite pigmented and butter-y. I really love this palette as the colours are wearable during the day and the night and the colours are really pretty and there's a nice mix of pinks,purples and taupes which actually reminds me of the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay

The palette is unavailable at the moment in Boots stores but should become available soon. If you go onto the Boots website, you can sign up to be put on the waiting list. The palette is a bit steep at €22 euros (around 15 pounds sterling) which is quite dear for a Drugstore Nude palette but I honestly think its an investment piece as the colours wont ever go out of style and I honestly think there wouldn't be a colour in the palette that wouldn't get used.
