On the twelfth day of advent... ciate vs youbeauty


On the twelfth day of advent my Ciate advent calendar gave to me:


A 5ml bottle of Ciate in the shade 'pepperminty'. This is a pastel peppermint shade that is a beautiful against my pale skin. I am really loving that this is a green that isn't too neon and would be an amazing green for spring.


On the twelfth day of advent my youbeauty advent calendar gave to me:


A 1.5ml stila lip glaze in kaleidoscope. I have to admit when I first saw this I thought how snazzy it looked and then started to curse as I was turning and turning it and nothing was happening. I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with me before you ask but after a while I managed to pull together some patience and I was glad I did manage to sort myself out. I have to point out whereas the product if fine my mood is not!
This is a highly pigmented lip colour and it certainly should be called a glaze as it gives a pink shimmer to my lips that is perfect for the holidays seasons. The applicator is easy to use but innovative and it gives an even and moisturised feeling to my lips. This even makes up for the fact that like a lot of lip glosses it is a little sticky on the lips at first but you soon get used to it. Also it must be long lasting as I had to scrub and scrub to get it off, even with my cleanser.
Really nice for the festive season.
You can get these from here for £12 for sets of 3.

Love ME Beauty September (Beauteco) 2013 box menu One

Boxes cost £10 plus p and p of £2.95 monthly from  lovemebeauty.com . Received this box earlier in the month but was my favourite box in September by far. Matriskin collagen serum 7.5ml (sample size) worth approx £24.10 Detailed by Love ME beauty as a serum to both prevent and to cure various signs of aging. It has a purpose of filling and reducing wrinkles from the first application and removes expression lines in just 30 days. I love serums as a little goes a long way and this one is no different.  This one is a clear gel and feels nice when applied and is helping to fight off the wrinkles of this thirty one year old. Although per gram it is very expensive and would be too expensive for me to buy the full size version. Essential care Organic lip silk 4.5g (full size) £5.50 at  www.essential-care.co.uk Detailed as a 'tasty and nourishing blend of beeswax, Shea butter, coconut oil and orange essential oil to moisturise, repair and protect your lips i

I missed out on the September box from lookfantastic so when the October one came up for sale I couldn't say no as it gave great value with the first and was full of great products. Although this one was good I haven't rushed out to preorder november, who don't have a sub for these and can buy when you want, and not sure I will be getting it.
