I had a lightbulb moment!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I often am overwhelmed by my make-up collection! I buy things with the best of intentions and they end up languishing in the back of a drawer. It's not that I don't need those items, I just don't have enough time to choose them in my morning rush! I'm not a morning person and am always running late, and tend to use whatever is closest to hand, which usually results in a random selection of items and the result isn't always pretty!

So, I had an idea!

Basically, once a week I am going to fill my weekly beauty basket with all of the items that I am going to wear for the week. I am hoping that this will have 2 positive outcomes.

1. Less time spent in the morning rooting around my make-up drawers wondering what to use = more time in bed and/or not being late all the time
2. Using up some of the lovely things I have accumulated = sense of satisfaction that i've not wasted a ton of money on things which sit prettily in drawers!

So, here's whats in my basket this week!


Left to right - top: Illamasqua powder blush in Hussy, Laura Gellar Spackle face primer, Revlon Colourstay foundation in True Beige, MAC Mineralise Satinfinish foundation in NW35 (I am in between colours so have to mix those two), MUFE Full Cover concealer in No.6, UDPP, Natural Collection lipgloss in Fondant, Miss Sporty lipstick in Big Love, Lash Blast Luxe mascara, elf Eyelash Curlers
Bottom: Rimmel Sun Shimmer bronzer in Meduim Matte, MAC MSF Natural in Medium Dark, Sleek Safari Palette, Black kohl liner and various brushes.

I think i'm going to love this little idea! Hope this helps someone!

Talika Lipocils Review

Ipicked up this product around 2 months ago, and wanted to let you know my thoughts on it.

I purchased this from HQHair and it cost £12.50 for 4.2ml. A 10ml tube is also vailable priced at £20.00

The first thing I noticed about this product was the size, it was smaler than I expected. I would imagine that the 10ml tube is around the same size as a standard mascara tube. Here is my wee tube alongside Rimmel Extra Super Lash and Loreal Lash Explosion Mascaras

Lipocils is on the left!

What HQHair says: "In normal conditions, our lashes never reach their maximum length: they fall out, they become brittle and break because of pollution, use of make-up and make-up removers, etc.

Talika's Lipocils Eyelash Treatment Gel combats this with specific, natural ingredients. In just 28 days eyelashes grow naturally longer and thicker.

Lipocils is the only product on the market to rightly claim and prove eyelash growth. It is the only product ever to be authorized in France to advertise this claim"

What it says on the box: "This very unique transparent gel is enriched with a complex made of plant extracts and lecithin that multiplies the effectiveness of the 100% natural active ingredients contained"

Right, so that's the science bit. Now, what did I make of it?

To start with, I had fairly long lashes but they lacked strength and thickness. After using this product for the last few months I have visably noticed a difference in the length, condition and amount of lashes I now have! Unfortunately, I don't have before pictures, so you'll have to take my word on the outcome! Here's a picture of my lashes now. No mascara!

I had low expectations of this product and was well and truly blown away with the results! Most other eyelash growth products on the market are up to 5 or 6 times this price of this little gem. I personally wouldn't pay for one of the more expensive products, as having long eyelashes isn't at the top of my beauty agenda (what??! lol) but for the price, even if all it did was condition my eyelashes, it's £12.50 well spent in my opinion!

Have you tried this? What did you reckon? Let me know! xx
