Boots natural collection liquid eyeliner –black

Eyeliner has been a staple of my makeup bag for as long as I can remember, I use both liquid and pencil liners and over the years have tried lots of different brands. Seen as I get through tons of the stuff, I thought I would try a cheaper brand, so I went for Boots [...]

Boots essentials tinted lip salve

This Boots own brand tinted lip salve costs just 98p and is displayed next to the Nivea lip salves that are the same size and shape but cost a pound more. It comes wrapped in a very thin film of plastic, which you peel off before use. Unlike Nivea’s lip balms, it is not attached [...]

TRESemme Heat Defence Styling Spray

As you may know from reading some of my other hair product reviews, I have really long, annoying hair. If left to dry naturally I get random curly hairs, crazy frizzy bits that look like I have had my fingers in a plug socket and then bits that are relatively straight. The only thing that [...]
