Blackhead Killer Mask review!

I was contacted by Stylelux a while back to review some products of theirs and I was sent some Blackhead Killers. The product is designed to remove impurities and any blackheads from the skin and is to be used as a treatment of 5 packets.

Product claims;

As Blackhead Killer dries, it actually sucks pimples, blackheads and the oil and bacteria that cause them out of your skin. It penetrates deep and then literally sucks them up and out of your skin! It also lifts away the unsightly redness that accompanies pimples and reduces any pimple scars. So your appearance improves even more – instantly! Blackhead Killer also removes dead cells from the surface of your skin. When it peels them away, it leaves your skin looking cleaner, fresher and smoother than ever!

Unfortunately the first package got lost in the post and I was sent another package without any fuss, so I must take an opportunity to applaud their customer service!

5 sachets of Blackhead Killer cost £14.95

Time trialed: Over 2 weeks, 4 packets used.

Worst Products I have bought - Part 1

As I'm moving house in a couple of weeks I'm starting to de-clutter my life starting with my biggest collection, my makeup drawers and bags. So I thought while I'm throwing things out I'd document the products I've barely touched and why I've never used them before giving them the chop.

These opinions and views are my own, and based on how they work on my own skin. My opinions in this blog post do not reflect other products in the lines of these companies, and were purchased with my own money. 

Lily Loves... Lilygrams Elegant Touch Nails Review.

I popped into Claire's Accessories a few days ago and managed to pick up a pack of Lilygrams for £2 in their sale, reduced from £9. Recently, I've been using false nails and gel extensions a lot more, especially press on ones. With my final deadlines coming up it has been hard to pamper myself so press on nails have been a perfect add on to my beauty routines. I'll be reviewing these as if I'd purchased them for the full price. Included in the pack is a nail file, nail glue, instructions and 24 nails in 10 sizes.

Price: £9. Purchased for £2.

Time Trailed: 4 days 

Halloween!

Happy Halloween all! 

I've had a few thoughts of what I should be for halloween and played around with a few different looks and I think I have settled on one. 

Contact lens friendly makeup, does it exist?

I have worked in the makeup industry professionally for around 3 years now, and I have to admit, I didn't really understand what anyone was talking about when they'd ask me "Is this contact lens friendly?"

And being a newcomer with lenses I still don't understand.
So what exactly is contact lens friendly makeup?! And what products are suitable?

A little about me...

Hello! My name is Jade, I'm 22 and currently living in Cardiff, the capitol of Wales, United Kingdom.
I have trained as a makeup artist in College on a part time course and have worked for Pixi Cosmetics, Benefit cosmetics and Smashbox Cosmetics, and have worked in New ID photography studio and worked on a few smaller fashion shows. I am a welsh beauty blogger and Cardiff beauty blogger.

I am currently starting back at university studying Art Practice. I love art and traveling and looking at art gallerys. In my spare time I like to read and play computer games.

I love makeup. I can't even describe how much I love it. It's great to express emotion and to show your unique personality. My favourite brands include Illamasqua, Too Faced, Pop Beauty, Revlon, YSL, Guerlain and not forgetting Pixi and Smashbox!  I have very sensitive combination skin so I am cautious with what I try, but I am willing to give anything a go. I do prefer smaller and independent brands but I do love bigger brands as well.

Since starting this blog I have had an overwhelming response in companies getting in contact to review products and recieving event invitations, so far I have covered products or been invited to the following;
