My make up collection.. Best and Worst products!

So I thought I would do a post reviewing the best and worst items in my make up collection - Not all of it is pictured.. Im still in the process of sorting it all out (Im usually a dump in a huge make up bag kind of girl lol).

So first up is foundation:

Now not everything is pictured here butttt I do have my favourite and worst products in there :) My first favourite is the Avon smooth minerals powder foundation... I love the finish this gives - The packaging is rubbish but the actual product is soo good!!! My second favourite is the Mac Studio sculpt foundation, its really creamy but so light - and it doesnt make my skin look dry! My worst has to be the Mua Undress yourself foundation - Its so hard to blend you cant get an even finish! Some of the others I really like are the Maybelline fit me and the loreal true match foundations :)

Next we have my Concealers, CC creams and primers:

So my absolute favourite product here is the Avon Eye Radiance Brightening Wand, anyone that knows me, knows I suffer from dark circles - I mean I have 2 young children and get no sleep! This product is amazing!!! its a light formula that brightens the eye area sooo much! I love love love the Avon ever lasting concealer... I have it in fair and it covers blemishes perfectly :) My worst product is the Mua Compact concealer.. it leaves my skin yellow - because it is very yellow!!

Next we have eyeshadows:

So I have a lot of the Avon quads and Mua palettes... I must admit Im not really an eyeshadow person but I find myself using them more and more... I love the Avon Glazewear diamonds... Its such a nice coverage and doesn't crease :) I also love the quads.. There sooo awesome at making a smokey eye easily... even me who can't do a smokey eye! My worst product has to be the elf eyeshadows... They are rubbish.. Ive actually chucked most away because they have all dried out :( 

Next is my Mascaras, eyeliners & eyebrow products:

I love mascaras and to be honest Ive not actually found one I hate... I always find that every mascara applies differently and as long as you are patient to find out how it goes on best and the look it suits.. For instance I have my mascaras I would wear as an everyday product and then the ones Id wear on a night out, at the moment I am in love with the Soap&Glory mascara and the Avon winged out :) Eyeliners are a different story.. I hate anything that drags! I have sensitive eyes and that results in half my make up streaming down my face... The double ended avon eyeliner is soo hard! Ive used it once and will never use again... However there supershock is amazing! For eyebrows Im in love with the Maybelline satinbrow.. its lovely.. The loreal brow artiste plumper on the other hand... so so bad!! I dont know.. It just doesnt do anything but make my eyebrows look wet!!!

Next up is Blusher/Bronzer:

As you can probably see I dont have much of a collection in this department, Ive never really worn it... I have really fair skin and very heavy hands... I have only recently just started wearing it after my mumsie showed me how to apply it nicely.. since then I really like the look it gives :) my 2 favourites and the Mua blush in cupcake and the Mua mosaic blush in english rose :) The product I really dont like is the Mua bronzed perfection... theres no perfection about it.. My skin just looks dirty when I apply it :(

Lastly we have Lipsticks and lipglosses:

As you can probably see this has to be the best bit for me... I love lipsticks (yes I know its a mess... I have ordered some containers to organise them lol) I really dont have a favourite as it honestly depends on what look Ive gone for but I will say that I hate Mua's Matte range... the driest lipstick I have ever come across!! They are horrible! even with lipgloss they are still to hard! Some of the best lipsticks I have come across are the Avon ones and the Mac ones.. they are so creamy and hydrating which is very important in a lipstick. My fav colours to wear are nudes and reds :) 

Natural Beauty Slimming Review

So as I mentioned before I've tried lots of supplements from NBS (Natural Beauty Slimming). It is a company founded by Nicola Bird back in 2011 using all natural ingredients to make weight loss supplements. The first time I came across these wasn't so much for the pills.. But more of the hate campaign against Nicola! One of my close friends (She's my rep) was defending Nicola and on closer inspection it was clear there was a group of so called 'adults' personally attacking her for her success. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm totally against any form of bullying!

Thats how I first learnt of the company, me and Lisa got talking more about NBS and she started showing me her progress pictures and I was amazed!! I had recently been on Juice Plus and got very ill because of it! I lost 12lb while doing it but on doctors orders I had to stop... it took 3 weeks to loose that 12lb and 4 days later it was back on... The doctor explained to me it wasn't a 'real' loss, it was mainly water and that was what happened when you did faddy diets like Juice Plus! Me and Lisa talked for ages... She explained how everything worked... What was best for what... And what could be taken together etc. I made my first order... £81 pound (If my memory serves me correct lol) And I was off! The first couple of days I honestly felt like I had wasted my money.. I felt no different! Another fad!

But wait... Day 4.. I woke up at 6am (I still remember to this day being like what am I doing awake!) I felt sooo refreshed and spent the whole day full of energy.. and I've felt like that ever since!! My first week was when I realised that they actually worked... I lost 7lb! and 6 inchs, I looked so much less bloated and felt amazing!! My first ever combo was Slimtex and African Mango, I then moved on to Thermo-max and water balance and then on to Tropical fruits and Pro-Slim and Im soon to move on to a new combo ;) I started in June and by November I had lost 2st =D From November till 3 weeks ago I wasn't focused at all for a long time I didn't take the supplements and I was loosing and gaining the same 7lb :( But 3 weeks ago and a kick up the bum from Lisa I was back on it and in 2 weeks had lost 11.5lb (find out Monday what Ive lost for this week).

Anyways enough from me.. Heres a little breakdown of the supplements Ive tried and how they work.

First up: Slimtex and African Mango

Now these have to be my favourite combo! There what started me off! There what gave me that first burst of energy... I felt so awake on these (Ive always suffered with insomnia but when Im on the supplements it totally disappears!!). I was instantly less bloated and all my cravings disappeared! I lost 2st while taking these from June to November.

Next up is Thermo-max (Now named Konjac) and water balance (Now named Colon Cleanse).

Now these for me didn't work as well as my first combo... The water balance made me considerably less bloated but I just didn't have the same buzz as before and I wanted to pick slightly more. Still, I wasn't tired and the inches were coming off while taking these between November to January.

Lastly is the combo I'm on now Pro-Slim (Now named Pro-Metabolism) and Tropical fruits!

These have to be raved about... 11.5lb in 2 weeks plus 6 inches off all over!! I started these 3 weeks ago - I will find out monday what Ive lost for this week and will redo my inches :) But seriously Im amazed with the results!!

There are lots more supplements to choose from and they have a page on facebook and a website, Leave me a comment if you would like the link to either of these. Also I can add you to my rep Lisa's group... Shes amazing!! and supports everyone!! :)
