Benefit's justine case Review

I bought the justine case set about a month ago, and i have been using it as a travel kit along with my normal makeup i carry around with me and i have to say that i am very impressed.


I really like most of benefit's products so its not a surpise but this is great! Here is a picture of the 'kit':



It contains california kissin' lipgloss which is the blue lipgloss that it supposed to make your teeth look whiter. I don't know whether it made any difference to the whiteness of my teeth but the minty flavour was really tasty and made my lips feel plumped.

It also had eyecon, which is supposed to be used under the eyes to conceal dark circles, it doesn't conceal dark ciricles really well but the consistence of it is really good.

The third item it contains is benetint which is my favourite product is the set, it says you can use it as a lip and cheek tint, but i don't feel it works as a cheek tint. It is really great to just make your lips look a little redder but still natural.

The final product in the kit is the some kind-a gorgeous foundation faker. I have found this really useful for on the go, when i haven't got time to apply concealer properly i just get out the kit and touch up my makeup.


It is pricey for £23.50 but i would say that is definitely worth the money. I think i will be buying another kit soon!

John Frieda Precision Foam Colour Review

I don't normally do reviews for anything other than makeup but i thought i'd make an exeption since i really want to recommend this.

I tried the colour out yesterday afternoon (deep cherry brown), i have been wanting to try a new colour for a while but i hadn't found one that i loved. Wheni saw this i had to try it out! I was a bit skeptical how id would turn out since i'd had some of my hair bleached but the colour is not pachy at all and i really love the colour.

It is a new way of DIY hair dying as it is with foam, it comes in a box containing a colourant, a developer, some gloves and some conditioner. The amount of product more than enough, for the lenght of my hair i was supposed to use the whole bottle but i used two thirds and that was plenty. I only left the colour on for 20 minutes becuase obviously since im 15 i have no greys ( well i hope not!) and it came out much better than i was expecting!

After i'd rinsed my hair until the water ran clear i used the conditioner provided and left it on for approximately 5 mins then rinsed it again. After i had dryed my hair it felt lovely and soft and looked very shiny.

Another good point was that there is enough conditioner left for another 4 uses (approx.) and it is supposed to make the colour last longer and stay shiny. (the colour is 28 washes) The price is aprroximately £10 but in Tesco atm the price is £6.66, so buy it quick!

All in all if you want to dye your hair at home i would recommend it, it is quick although messy but the results are great!

p.s.I'll upload photos later
