Lime Crime Diamond Crushers Lip Gloss in the Shade Lit Review and Swatches


Finally a make-up review I hear you cry?! Yes! I received this Lip Gloss in the ASOS Beauty Box last month. The theme of the Beauty Box was Festival. And this is definitely the perfect Festival Make-Up. Before I start the review, let me just say that the ASOS Beauty Boxes are only £12 and are a fabulous bargain: In last months box I received a full-sized MAC Lipstick (worth £17.00) in the box and the whole of the bloody box only cost me £12.00! I was chuffed. The Boxes tend to be released early in the month and sell out very fast, so keep your eyes peeled (I would suggest signing up for the ASOS emails so you get alerted when the box is available) 

And so I digress, lets have a look at this stunning lip gloss shall we? 

So this is the Lime Crime Diamond Crushers Lip Gloss in the Shade 'Lit' I will admit that I'm that old (and my brain has melted after having a baby) that I had to Google what being 'Lit' meant. Just call me Grand-ma! 

The Shade 'Lit' is a beautiful Rose Gold and it is stunning!

 These have been described as a great way of adding more drama and dimension to your current make-up look without being too-much. 

You can wear this on its own for a glittery lip or as a topper on your current lipstick to give it that extra holographic edge. 

Lets start with the gorgeous packaging: the lip gloss is so heavy, honestly the packaging feels so luxurious. I love the crystallised lid, as I like my make-up to look nice on my vanity table. Plus when the packaging of a product stands out, your more likely to reach for it.

The first thing I noticed about the lip gloss was the smell, it smells SO GOOD, like Strawberry Milkshake! Honestly, the smell is gorgeous! 


As you can see the lip gloss is C-3PO shine realness. Just look at the glitter and the way it glistens in the light. One thing I was wary of was the way the lip gloss would feel on my lips (I was worried that I would be able to feel the glitter) However because the formula is water based, the lip gloss feels so smooth and moisturising on my lips. Plus the formula is VERY long lasting, which really surprised me. 

The lip gloss is so smooth and easy to apply, plus it won't disrupt what ever lipstick your wearing underneath. The lip gloss doesn't feel cheap and sticky and dries really quickly. 

These have a beautiful iridescent finish and a jewel effect that really sparkles in the light; reminding me of what mermaids would wear if they were real. The lip gloss is so easy to apply and comfortable to wear (I've noticed that with other glitter based lip glosses, they tend to make lips feel rather odd and uncomfortable)  

Obviously I wouldn't wear this on a day-to-day basis (glittery lips in the office is definitely a no)  Plus there is a massive part of me that feels too old and 'uncool' to wear glittery lip gloss. 

However these are a fun and cute addition to your regular make-up. If your getting dressed up for a Friday night with the girls then this lip gloss is a perfect addition to your usual make-up look for that extra 'lit' feeling! 

Perfect for Sparkle addicts!

MAC Strobe Cream Mini Review

Strobing is something I'd never even heard of until I started watching Rupauls Drag Race a few years ago (in the Sharon Needles Era: AKA the good ol' days!) Strobing has been described as overdone highlighting: However strobing to me is not only highlighting certain facial features but also adding dimension and texture to the area too. Admittedly, its not something I would bother doing every day. But on special occasions I like to highlight my favourite features (usually my cheekbones)  I received the MAC Strobe Cream as a little try-out sample after buying too many lipsticks over on the MAC website. I was pretty chuffed as I've wanted to try out the Strobe Cream for ages now!  MAC describe the Strobe Cream as 'a  moisturiser that boosts the look of dull skin and luminises with iridescent particles' So perfect for my tired skin that needs a bit of a boost!  I love the little packaging, in fact I would say I'm a bit obsessed with miniature ve...

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer Review

I'm obsessed with concealers, and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect one! I currently use the Nars Radiant Concealer ( Review Here ) for under my eyes and the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer for spots etc.  I recently purchased the Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer as I'd read good reviews online and I wash hoping it might be a dupe for my trusty Nars Concealer.  Firstly there is one massive downside to this concealer: There are only THREE Shades! That just seems lazy! Especially in this day and age where you can purchase some concealers which have over 30 shades to choose from!  I have the shade 'Light' and for once, it is indeed actually Light! It's gorgeously pale (it may even be too pale for some people, so I would suggest swatching it next to the other shades if unsure)  It is specifically designed for the delicate eye area and it offers 24 hour hydration to the area around the eyes to offer hydration throughout the day, leaving eyes...

Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil Review

An oil for your face? Yes, Yes, Yes! If you would have told me years ago, when I was a hormonal teenager with many breakouts to use oil on my face I would have laughed at you, but the Balance Me Rose Otto Face Oil, has made such a difference to my skin, I am a complete oil convert.  I have quite red, sensitive, often sore skin and this calms it right down. Its deeply nourishing and hydrating. I've heard it described as a conditioner for the skin.  I usually use it a night when my skin is looking dry and frazzled. As you can see with the roller-ball application, you just roll it onto the skin (I swipe across each cheek and my forehead) and then gently massage into the skin. Its just such a gorgeous and luxurious feeling treat for the skin.  It has never broke me out and it has kept my skin feeling and looking a lot more luminous. It doesn't make my skin shinny and doesn't leave any kind of weird residue on the skin; leaving my skin feeling moisturised and l...
