Une Skin Glow Pencil



Due to working full time, it is very difficult for me to get my shopping fix mid week. This is where my newest discovery - Fragrance Direct - comes in. I'll have a spare couple of bob, or a stressful day (usually the latter) order this and a few days later It'll turn up on my desk! I have heard of this wesbite before, but I had absolutely no idea that they did make up, and more importantly that it was so affordable! 

It was here that I first discovered Une, an all natural, organic all singing all dancing sister to Bourjois. I bought the shade G01 as from looking at swatches, it looked incredibly similar to my HG Benefit's Eye Bright.  

When I popped the lid off of the tube, the colour itself was more like Benefit's High Brow - a warmer version of Eye Bright. Consequently, I use this on my brow bone and down my nose, occasionally under my eyes - as this pencil is matte, I usually use this on one of my "dressing down" days where I don't feel like contouring my face too much - just a little nifty dab here and there really opens up the face and makes me look much more awake! 
Of the Une products I have tried, this has been by far my favourite and I fully recommend this as a fanstically subtle radiant highlighter!

The lemony flutter cuticle butter miracle.




This is an absolute miracle.
I have always been such a fan of Lush - both for the ethical side and the actual product side. I have never, ever been disappointed with a Lush product and I doubt I ever will be.
Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter is a lemon scented moisturising butter that leaves you feeling ever so soft and smelling even better. A little of this product really does go a long way, the amount on my hand in the bottom picture is more than enough to do your hands, elbows and dry patches anywhere else on the body (although if I'm telling the truth you will probably apply this every where because of how god damn good it smells!) The fragrance is light and zingy - not lemony in a toiler cleaner way, in a fresh lemonade kind of way.
A tub this size will last me around 6 months so the price is amazingly good! They could probably double the price of this and I'd still continue to repurchase it! 
Like all Lush products this has been approved by the Vegetarian Society.
I also use this product on my face as although I have oily skin, I get incredibly sore dry cheeks and lips. I actually first bought this around 7 months ago and this tub is a repurchase, I first bought it because I had such sore dry lips, the lovely assistant in Lush directed me to this before anything else. If you want sexy, soft kissable lips I definitely recommend this.
