Rimmel Colour Rush Balm

Recently all the drug store brands have released 'chubby stick'-esque products to their lines. I have had a Clinique Chubby stick and loved it to much, so i picked out one from Rimmel and it was £6.99.
It doesn't say what colour it is on the packaging, which i think is odd especially if there are multiple shades.
 Not going to lie, i was surprised how good this product was for such a good price. It is very balmy and has loads of pigment in it, so you can build up a lot of colour! There is also a ton of product in this which you can reach by using the twisty cap.

 Here are 2 swatches of the product. It is a deep pink/nude/red, very confusing i know! I really like the colour and feel it suits a very natural look.
So i recommend this product, it is a lot cheaper that the actual Clinique Chubby Stick. There aren't as many colours but very similar formula's i feel like.

Strawberry Body Shop Obsession!

For me Body Shop has never been a shop i must go into on a shopping trip, it is mainly boots i want to have a browse in. Anyway one of my friends dragged me into The Body Shop and i fell in love with the Strawberry scent. This is a bit different from my usual posts..but i love the smell and the products so much i had to blog about it!
 ~The Body Shop Link~
 These are the most amazing smelling products i have smelt for ages, if you don't like fruity scents then this is not for you!
The first product is the Strawberry body mist it retails at £7.50 and it is lovely. It is a body mist so it wont last all day but it will leave a slight scent.
 The second is the Body Butter and the full size retails at £13.00, so it is quite pricey. I have been using this on my knee's and elbows and it has improved my dry skin there. The consistency is like yogurt, which i am fine with as it doesn't feel too thick but not too watery!
Anyway this is the end of my 'random' post so i hope you enjoyed it!
Is there anything from Body Shop that you love?

Vivo Beauty Balm

This product for me is a 'not much make up' day. It is from Vivo~link~ and retails for £5, Vivo is also available at Tesco now.

First of all is that i like the packaging, its plain and simple-nothing too fancy, which i am a fan of.
The whole idea of this product is that it gives you a light coverage, while evening your skin out.

I wear this on a weekend when i am taking a walk or something when i cant be bothered, as it is nice. 
I think it does make my skin a little less red, and gives me a light glow.
 Though if you have oily skin- like myself- prepare to get your powder out, as it gives a dewy finish but it areas where i am oily it doesn't cover it. It leaves a slightly sticky feeling, but don't worry as it is sorted out with powder.
I would have to add some concealer to under my eyes and blemishes as it is not a super strength concealer.
 I would say is you have dry skin, this is perfect for you or if you don't have blemishes but your skin is a bit red!
Overall i like this product for light coverage but wouldn't use it everyday, as it is not enough for me!
