Jelly Pong Pong Paradise Pigment review

I love summer. Whilst we don't always get the most of the sun though over here in the UK, we know how to make the most of it when we do. When it comes to makeup, I love bringing out my bright and colourful products, which is why, on this hot and sunny day, we're going to be looking at a very vibrant pot of pigment.

Jelly Pong Pong Paradise Pigment in Cake Pop

Jelly Pong Pong's Paradise Pigment pots come in two super bright, cream shades that are designed to be used on both the lips and the cheeks to add a flush of summer. There is Cake Pop a bold pink-red coral and Fig Jam, a vivid purple-pink orchid. Whilst the name Cake Pop reminds me of Clinique's Pop range, I really love the name Fig Jam. Anyone else!? Both shades may look a little daunting in the pan, but rest assured that they don't apply that brightly on the face.

Each pot contains pumpkin seed oil and rhubarb extract for "plush, cushiony skin".

I received the shade Cake Pop in my June Birchbox, so if you'd like to subscribe to see if you receive one too, you can subscribe to Birchbox here.

They come packaged in a small, clear jar with a black screw cap lid that holds 4g of product.

ModelCo Creme Rouge Cheek and Lips review & swatches

If you're a regular reader of the blog, you will probably be aware that I love a multitasker. Multitasking products are just so darn convenient, and today I have another one to show you all!


ModelCo's Creme Rouge Cheek and Lips is a cream blush and lip colour in one. It promises to provide a sheer, buildable colour that leaves the cheeks looking dewy and naturally flushed and the lips with a hint of tint.

It only comes in one shade at the moment which is Just Peachy, a shade that is a bright, vivid red in the pan but applies far softer on the skin.

It comes packaged in a small, circular, glossy black compact with a transparent section in the flip cap lid. It holds 3.6g/0.12oz of product.

The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Velvet Stick in Poppy Bronze review

The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Velvet Sticks are The Body Shop’s first chubby sticks that provide a natural flush of colour to the cheeks and the lips. The easy to use sticks provide a matte finish with a velvety texture. They come in a range of five shades.



Despite the matte finish, the Lip & Cheek Velvet Sticks each contain Community Fair Trade marula oil (the same type that is used in The Body Shop Beautifying Oils) that leave the lips and cheeks feeling soft and hydrated.

I picked myself up the shade Poppy Bronze (the other shades include Poppy Nude, Poppy Coral, Poppy Red and Poppy Pink) which is a natural-pink type of shade that contains a subtle golden sparkle.

Birchbox February 2015 - Birchbox Loves



The theme for this months box is ‘Birchbox loves,’ which is obviously inspired by Valentines Day (which just so happens to be my birthday!). It is a month-long celebration of all things love over at Birchbox where they're discussing their own loves over on the Birchbox blog and are encouraging everybody to join in and share their own, too!

Here is what I received this month:

Also, you are able to earn yourself Birchbox points that you can use to spend in the store. Each month you can provide feedback on your samples in the form of survey’s and each one filled out earns you 5 Birchbox points. Every box and product purchased even earns you points, so when you have collected enough you can buy a full size product for nothing (you have to buy in blocks of £10)! How amazing!


So if you are interested to see what I received in my April 2014 Birchbox and what I think of the products, then here we are:
