Review: Lancome Gel Eclat Clarifying Cleanser Pearly Foam


First of all I want to apologise for not reviewing anything or blogging at all for that matter for nearly a year now. I've realised I love to write and I love anything beauty related so I need to keep this up, plus I find it really therapeutic and it gives me something to really get my teeth into.
I don't want a lengthy, boring introduction so let's get down to business (& now I have Eminem's song 'Business' in my head).
I wanted to come back with a review as I've collected quite a large amount of products over the last few months so thought a review would be perfect.

I'm the kind of person who really struggles to find a good cleanser and stick to it. I have combination skin, which has pretty much turned into dry skin over the winter months, but no doubt I'll have an oily t-zone over summer (oh, joy). This makes it difficult to find just one cleanser that's going to do what I want it to do throughout the year, so I find myself switching between cleansers and constantly trying out new ones. So, Lancome Gel Eclat Clarifying Cleanser Pearly Foam (what a mouthful!) happens to walk into my life and to be honest I don't want it walking back out anytime soon.

Review: MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter

For the past couple of years I've been a big fan of Benefit's High Beam liquid highlighter, but recently I've become more adventurous in the highlighter department and I've tried out a few different ones including Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl and the highlighter included in MUA's Pro Base Conceal and Brighten kit. As I mainly use powder blush I wondered if a powder highlighter would compliment this more than a liquid one; not that I have any complaints about High Beam or any of the liquid highlighters I've been previously using for that matter.
As I was in Superdrug (as usual) I decided to pick up MUA's Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter and give it a go. I often pick up MUA products to try them out as they're so reasonably priced and as the highlighter retails for just £3, I really couldn't say no.

Review: MAC Prep & Prime skin base visage.

I've been on the hunt for a good face primer for a while and after trying numerous brands including No 7 and MUA and being fairly disapointed I thought it was time to splash out. Now, I was originally interested in Benefit's Porefessional, but decided against it. The reason being I'd read many mixed reviews and most importantly the price completely put me off. I know I said it's time to splash out but quite frankly £24.50 for 22ml of product is in my opinion, outrageous and I couldn't justify spending that much to try something out.
Anyway, let's get back to the whole point of this post; MAC Prep and Prime. I decided on this one as I was going into MAC anyway, as I'm a bit of a MAC addict and I've never been dissapointed with a product. (How many times can I fit the word 'MAC' into a paragraph, jeez!) It costs £19.50 and you get 30ml of product in the bottle.
