No7 Product review!

Hello Loves,
So today I am going to tell you why you should get up run to boots or superdrug and get these amaizing products that I am going to tell you about.(it's on offer 3 for the price of 2)

I am still a beginner when it comes to skin care and No7 products and I am still experimenting to find the products that most suit my skin and me.
Over time I collected few of the vouchers from boots so I decided it was time to go and treat myself for the summer! So ladies lets get into the review shall we!

First is an eye makeup remover.
If I get lazy I just use wipes that also removes eye makeup,but most days I try to really work on my skin and try to nourish it and that's why I decided to splurge if you would call that and get a bit of an upper brand eye makeup remover this specific one is oil based (which I did not read before using it) so you only need few drops on your cotton ball to take off all your eye makeup off. 
Now oil based products are tricky to learn how to use but once you get the hang of it you will love it.Oil based formula works in a way that it will cover your used product "mascara" and the oils will break down the product and that's when you can easily slide the cotton ball across your eye and the makeup will just rub off onto the cotton ball leaving you makeup free.But what i discovered soon was that the remover totally did almost nothing I had to rub the cotton ball on my eyes for a while and most of the mascara was still on the lashes it also made my eye area sticky and itchy, so I guess I would say try it if you have vouchers and can get this product for half price because it is defenetly not worth the full price.

Next we have a cleanser for sensitive skin as I mentioned before skin care is still new to me so I have never had much experience with it but I swear with this product my skin changed it became much softer, smoother and almost blemish and pimple free! So I was so happy with this product and I would defenetly recommend.

Last but defenetly not least is the soft and gentle toner which is an amazing product it is gentle and I think alcohol free it also has a very subtle fragrance to it.It removes every dirt or makeup particle with a gentile wipe and works wondets for my skin type (which is combination).

Thank for reading

Maybelline Master Duo Eyeliner

Hola!

First of all, let me just start this off by saying that I am not a fan of eye-liners and not a "Cat Eye" pro, but I am willing to warm up to this idea and learn how to do the perfect 'Cat Eye look'.
As you may guess from previous posts, us Girls Online we like to shop at our favourite drug store 'Boots' and not long ago I made a visit for some other essentials but definitely not an eye-liner. I was just strolling along the make-up counters and was checking out new products, when I came across Maybelline's Master Duo eye-liner, it's a liquid eye-liner with a wand applicator....


 Let's just say that I was quite impressed as the applicator was very different from the usual ones (in a good way), the applicator looked like it would do the job easier when drawing a 'Cat Eye' or just a simple line. I also applied the product on the back of my hand and it looked like it would do the job as the consistency of the liquid felt and looked very promising. So, as already you may have guessed I purchased the eye-liner and I didn't use it for about a month.. Well this is because I don't use eye-liner and I am afraid of using it, which is very silly, I know...

So, for some reason yesterday I got a huge urge to try out the eye-liner and this time, properly try it out and all I have to say is that I was very disappointed. I literally wasted about £6 or £7.. The wand which I really liked in the beginning did what it was supposed to do, with this wand I was able to draw a thicker and a thinner line with just a turn of the wand. However, the liquid dried quickly and with only one stroke it was impossible to fully cover the line, it would leave streaks and it would dry too quickly, meaning that going over the the existing line would cake up and the substance would crumble, even though the eyeliner came of very easily which is always a positive, it's also good when it comes off easily with a make-up wipe not by rubbing your eye with fingers... For me this product was a big NO NO!

So I will upload some pictures below, so that you guys can see how the product looks.

Ugne's Skincare

Hello loves,💕
From the minute I open my eyes and check myself out in the mirror "yes I do that" I usually then like to take care of my skin and I do that by firstly washing it with warm water then I lightly dry it with face towel and I then apply scrub which is by Skin Logy and it's a scrub with tea tree essential oils it is very gentle but it gets the work done and after washing the scrub off I then simply pat my face dry with the same towel and then move on to moisturising which I use No7 day cream although it is not a moisturiser it is still amazing cream it is very creamy and quite heavy but I only apply a dab of it on my T-zone and cheeks since it is winter I don't want to get a frost bite on my precious chubby cheeks :) after I moisturise I move on to doing my make-up as you can see, my skin care in the morning is not much. So after a hard day I really like to pamper my skin,  I personally like to believe that when you forget to take of your make up and you sleep with your make up on that will most likely cause your skin to break out and be very naughty to you. So I always and I mean ALWAYS take off my make-up if I am like extremely tired for example after a night of work or party I usually only reach for the make-up removal wipes ,although it gets the job done it is not the best option :) but if I have time I then really like to pamper my skin and really nourish it by taking off all my make up with make-up removal liquid I use the one from "The Body Shop" it is with camomile extract and it is really gentle on my skin because of how soft it is but the best part about this product is that it removes all your make up and leaves no trace of it on your skin.




I then like to use my Skin Therapy cleanser and toner occasionally.  I would change up my toners and use my Skin Logy toner which is much much stronger then the Skin Therapy one but I like it more because it can really help to clear up my skin especially my T-zone.I then like to apply my No7 night cream which is a bit more lighter than the day cream but it takes longer for the skin to absorb it.

Now this is a new product I got only few days ago it is Garnier Micellar cleansing toner which is a very similar toner to Bioderma water cleanser but much cheaper and you get a lot more.So when I got this product I though oh well it is Garnier so it is bound to be good and YES my expectations did not disappoint me it is extremely good and gentle on your skin plus it is a toner a cleanser and make up remover liquid amazing huh.,...? I am definitely going to be repurchasing this bad boy after I am done using the ones I am currently using.

Another product I will be definitely adding to my skin care is the No7 foaming cleanser that was recommended by the lovely Girl Online "Vaiva" it is an amazing foaming cleanser and I never had a foaming cleanser before so I have nothing to compare it to but I can definitley say it works wonders on my skin it is light and makes me shine which may sound that it is wrong for my skin but it definitley puts me in a good mood if my skin is smooth.

So here is my full skin care all I can say girls is that you have to take care of your skin no matter if you are covered in acne or have smooth and amazing skin because it is better to prevent pimples and ageing wrinkles rather than try to hide those things. I personally never really cared if I had a pimple or my forehead was covered in spots I would plaster it with concealer and foundation and would be fine with it ,but later on I realised what damage I was causing to my skin and started to take care of my skin, of course it took time but now I am very happy with the results and I am only going to add to my skin care as I grow.

Vaiva's skincare line - Combination skin....

Hello ladies,

As you all know, every one of us has a different type of skin. One of us may have very dry skin, while others might have very oily skin and of course, a lot of girls will have combination skin and this is what I have....

I had a very hard time dealing with my skin and it took me forever to find perfect products to prevent my skin from drying out and become very oily/greasy.

My T-zone is very oily and my nose and cheeks are dry and chapped and when applying make-up it looks horrible and patchy if it's not perfectly moisturised.

Therefore I use these products to perfect my combination skin and I call it my own skincare line as I use more that one skincare product.

Products are:

-No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser, for Normal/ Oily skin
This foaming cleanser is perfect after your daily scrub, as it just makes the skin feel very soft and glowy, the result is instant after the first wash. I use this product daily, before going to bed and of course when cleaning my face with the facial scrub, right after.

http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Beautiful-Skin-Foaming-Cleanser-for-Normal-Oily-Skin-150ml_1245014/ 

-Clean & Clear Advantage Clear & Soothe Daily scrub Oil-Free, tough on spots & gentle on skin with natural aloe vera & exfoliating beads.
I personally use this scrub once a week or every time I wear full-on make-up. Even though this scrub has beads which are gentle on the skin, it's still a scrub and I have noticed that if I use it daily it dries out my skin, almost feels like it rubs off the very top skin layer. This scrub opens up the pores and for that reason I use the foaming cleanser after to finish off the cleaning process.

http://www.boots.com/en/Clean-Clear-Advantage-Clear-Soothe-Daily-Scrub_1360824/

-Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Control Moisturiser Oil-Free.
I use this product after I cleanse my face with the facial scrub or the foaming cleanser, this prevents me getting spots over the night, this also hydrates my faces, so it doesn't become oily or dry. This moisturiser is very light and easy for the skin to absorb.

http://www.boots.com/en/Clean-Clear-Advantage-Spot-Control-Moisturiser_1440760/

-Vichy Idelia Normal to Combination skin.
I came across this brand, when I actually was sent a sample of it to my house. I had this craze one day when I signed up for alot of freebies (as probably what alot of girls do, or maybe just me, haha). And I tried the sample of Vichy face cream. I am not sure now if the sample was for combination skin or it was for other types of skin, but it instantly felt very light and left my skin very smooth. I then went on a mission to find this brand and I didn't have to go far as you can find Vichy at Boots ( I am not sure about other shops such as Superdrug or Savers). I was lucky enough that Vichy did creams for combination skin which I found very hard to find for other branded face creams. Once I started using it daily my skin instantly felt better and looked better. The cream is very light and the skin absorbs the cream very quickly. I found it amazing that when using it before going to bed, the skin doesn't become oily overnight, it doesn't get blocked so you don't have to wake up thinking that a few pimples popped out while you were asleep. I do apply this after I apply the Clean & Clear moisturiser and it still doesn't become oily overnight and I don't get pimples.

-Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Control Treatment Gel Fast Action.
This magical gel is so amazing! If you ever get a pimple or a spot and you are in public, or even at home, just apply this gel on to the affected area and in a few hours the pimple/spot will clear away. This is my life-saver, as you can also apply it over your make-up which is even better. It's a clear gel, so when applying it over your make-up, it doesn't ruin the effort you put in to look pretty.

http://www.boots.com/en/Clean-Clear-Advantage-Spot-Treatment-Gel-15ml_11634/

-Vichy Normaderm Soin Hydratant anti-imperfections global.
I use this skin hydratant as my make-up base, as it is perfect! It hydrates your skin and holds in the make-up. The pores do not get clogged up and when applying make-up it just glides onto your face. So, really this hydratant/make-up base prepares the skin for when applying the make-up. I personally use it only when I apply my make-up, of course I use other products I have listed as well.

Bourjois paris - Unifying Powder Healthy Balance 10 Hrs Matt Finish & Natural Healthy Glow

Hello Beauties,

So... I can finally say that I have found the perfect pressed powder for my skin, which makes my face look healthy and glowy, it also gives that airbrushed effect.

The first time I have applied this powder I was instantly satisfied as it just cleared the oily effect the skin sometimes has. What is even more great about this powder, is that you only need to dab a very small amount onto your powder brush to get great coverage.

This powder has a faint fruity smell which is very pleasant when applying, there is no need for the nose scrunching at any time. I have had previous pressed powders which had that distinctive smell to them and it wasn't pleasant to use, even though they were of a good quality. But this powder really impressed me, as I was not able to find any negatives.

Just to let you know, ladies, my skin is quite problematic. I have combination skin, oily T-zone and dry cheeks and nose and so it is very hard for me to find good cosmetics to suit my skin type. And even though this product doesn't specify the skin type it is for, it definitely suits mine, which I am over the moon about.

The quality of this product is very rich and it is very long lasting. I don't have to worry about my skin absorbing the foundation and leaving no traces of it when on a night out and being sweaty from dancing the night away. This is probably one of the biggest nightmares of ours for when we're on a night out. Applying this powder will reassure you for the whole night you are out that you will have flawless looking skin and will look beautiful and glowy.


If you have any specific questions about this product, do not hesitate to leave a comment in the comment section and all of them will be answered sincerely.

Here is what Online Girls purchesed at the Boxing Day sales.. For those of you who might not live in UK, Boxing Day is the second day of Christmas the 26th of December and most of retail shops have huge sales and amazing deals on various items of clothing , accessories and other items (up to 50%).
We begun our shopping adventure with a big and delicious lunch and then we were  ready to hit the shops. First we went to Boots, Vaiva purchased an item which was -


http://www.boots.com/en/Bourjois-Healthy-Balance-Compact-Powder_1244985/
(£8.99)
Vaiva will do a review on this item.
After Boots we wondered off to Select in which we both purchesed identical tops that were -Coral Creme colour 3/4 lenght sleeve T-shirt (orginal price £7.99 we got it for (£5.00)


As for our luck Lush was right next to Select so we decided to explore it, we both purchased few small items which were-
Bath bomb-Dragons egg(£3.35)
Bath bomb-Honey bee(£3.35)
For Vaiva


And as for Ugne, she decided to try the new shampoo which comes in a bar soap form (she will try to do a review on that) which was priced at (£5.49)



Next we went to H&M and from there we both purchased tops. Ugne decided to get 2 tops one blue 3/4 lenght sleeve with a little pocket (priced at (£9.99 but only payed £5.00) and another, a cozy creme coloured short sleeved Tournoi Interclubs T-shirt (originally £9.99 but again only payed £5.00)



As for Vaiva she decided to go for a fashion statement (Parental Advisory Explicit Content - text T-shirt (originally again £9.99 but she got it for £5.00).



After that we decided to hit TK Maxx but we only had a short walk around since the tills were closing and we did not get anything from there , right opposit TK Maxx there was Costa (coffee shop) so we thought we could get some tea but guess what it was closed as well funny. huh?? So we ended up finishing our shopping trip with a Moca Frappuchino for Vaiva and Galaxy Caramel Choc Chip McFlurry ice cream for Ugne.
