Product Review: No7 Nourishing Lip Shine

Hey Everyone! So I am back with another lovely product review. I should have a video up by this weekend for you, so stay tuned for that. Today I am reviewing the No7 Nourishing Lip Shine that I picked up while I was in the UK. 

I have read a few reviews on this product and of course each person's opinion is their own, but I was contemplating on picking this up, and thanks to a £5 voucher, I finally justified it to myself.

Price:  £10.50 at Boots, but with the voucher I only paid £5.50 ($8.50 Canadian)

Pros: I am in love with the packaging. As a graphic designer I appreciate when something has a pretty package. It's very girly and simplistic which I love! Now about the actual gloss, I am not a huge fan of lip gloss, I find it sticky and unpleasant, however, this isn't like that at all. It  stays smooth and doesn't get that gross sticky lip gloss feel. It also adds a nice hint of colour without being too over powerful, which makes it perfect for every day use.

Cons: It is a major pain in the butt to get out of the tube! I have to use every ounce of my strength to get it out. The price is a little steep for a lip gloss for me, I am okay when I have the £5 off but the full price is a little much, but I definitely like it enough to pay full for it again.

Final Verdict: I am a huge fan of these nourishing lip glosses and I will definitely purchase one again. The only problem is getting ahold of one now that I am back in Canada, since No7 is Boots' brand. I will find a way though HAHA. Anyway, if you have been debating on this little beauty I would definitely recommend picking it up and giving it a go yourself!

What's your favourite No7 product? Any other lip glosses you'd like to recommend that I should try?

Product Review: Soap & Glory Marvelips

Hey Everyone! As I said in my previous blog post I have been going on a Soap & Glory rampage lately and being in London, UK really assisted in that fact. The products were less expensive and I always feel when I buy a Soap & Glory product I get a good quality product. I decided I'd pick up the Marvelips Lip Pencil to make my lips look "full and fabulous".

The pencil has two ends. A coloured end, that is in a beautiful red pink colour as you can see in the swatch, and a white highlighter end. Now as you can see from the back of the box you line your lips with the coloured end and then highlight the top centre of your lips. 

Now that I have explained a little about the product and how it works lets get into the review part of the post.

Price:  £8 at Boots ($13 Canadian)

Pros: I have finally found a nude lip pencil for myself. I have been searching high and wide for a lip pencil that matches my lips. I find that naturally my lips are a darker red than most people's which I think is amazing, but it makes finding a nude lip pencil very difficult. This pencil is slightly darker than my natural shade but not by much so it adds that little extra colour and I think it looks fabulous. So you can check fabulous off of the back of the box. It is also a nice consistency, very smooth and doesn't dry out my lips. Which is a huge plus for me.

Cons: Now as for full. I don't think it delivers that promise. I don't think my lips look any more full than they would normally. Which is not Angelina Jolie lips by any stretch. So it doesn't really deliver on that plumping promise, but it makes up for it in the colour.

Final Verdict: I love this product and would absolutely purchase it again. The only bummer is Shoppers sells it for $25... ouch. Luckily I will have this one for a while so I am not too worried about having to purchase another one any time soon. But if you do have access to a Boots, definitely stop by and pick one up! You won't regret it.

Have you tried Marvelips? If not do you think you would? Let me know in the comments!

What's In My Carry-On Bag For London

Hello Everyone! As some of you may remember I am going to London, England in seven days (cue excitement now) and of course I am bringing all you lovely subscribers/followers with me! So to begin this journey we have to start at the source, and that would be my carry-on bag. So instead of you reading my rambles about what I am bringing you can listen to me ramble about it!

I did however forget to mention I am bringing a full change of clothes with me so that, worse case scenario, my luggage goes missing I will have a fresh set of clothes to change into when I arrive.

So friends, if there are any really neat places you want to see or you suggest I see, leave me a comment and I will be sure to make it a home in my itinerary!

Are you travelling anywhere soon? Let me know!

if you are... Happy Travelling!

I also want to shop :) which is going to be very exciting. Oh and how could I forget! I am going on the WB studio tour, to see where they filmed Harry Potter! (remember me mentioning my "little" obsession) ANYWAY! haha

I would definitely love to meet up with any of you and even go shopping if any of you would be down for that. I am very excited and I look forward to taking you all on my little adventure. I will be gone from June 15-29 and I don't plan on bringing my laptop, although I will have my iPod which will have twitter on it so I can still update all of you! :) So for that little bit Sally will be posting and I will post a ton when I get back!
