REVIEW: Vintage Lip Balms by Technic.

I was in Bodycare a couple of weeks ago looking at some of the makeup, and I noticed these pretty lip balms. I'm an absolute lover of vintage so these definitely caught my eye and as I was amazed to not have seen one review on these yet I thought I would share these amazing finds with everyone as they are a personal favourite of mine now.
The packaging is lovely as you can see, with a pin-up girl and flowers.
I only have three of them but they do come in 4 different flavours/shades/scents:
Kir Royale, Long Island Iced Tea, Margarita, and Blue Lagoon.

Kir Royale has a really sweet, fruity scent to it, a bit like mango or kiwi, it's hard to pin point the scent of this one but it's such a nice one and it's the one I've worn the most so far..
Long Island Iced Tea has a very sweet, bubblegum type scent to it, it's definitely my personal favourite out of these three.
Margarita has a very strong scent, and if you don't like alcohol, I highly doubt you will like this one. When I first smelt it I was very surprised at how much it really did smell like alcohol but it takes some getting used to and after a while it doesn't smell so bad, but in all honesty it isn't exactly the nicest out of the three.
I'm going to buy Blue Lagoon when I head into town this weekend and I shall do a mini review on that when I include it in a collective haul next week.

What I love most about these lip balms is that they leave your lips so soft and they last for so long too. They feel really moisturising and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good balm for dry lips that isn't sticky.

These are only 99p each from Bodycare and for that price you can't go wrong!

Review: Collection 2000 Skyscraper Mascara.

Hello sweeties,
so I have been buying this mascara since July and it is defiitely one of my favourite mascaras, and I felt like doing my first review on it as I haven't seen any reviews about it yet and really wanted to share how good it is! This is by far one of the best mascaras I have ever used.
It's says 'length and definition' on the bottle, and that is exactly what it gives your lashes!
The length it gives is amazing, I have slightly long lashes already, so this gives even more length to them which I love.

It doesn't go on thick either, it goes on quite subtle but it definitely makes a difference to how your lashes look.

I prefer this one over the Big Fake False Lash Effect mascara from Collection 2000 that everyone has been raving about. I find that the Big Fake mascara is quite clumpy when I used it, and it didn't separate my lashes very well.
With Skyscraper, it separates you're lashes so well, and I usually have trouble finding a mascara that can separate my lashes(the lashes on my right eye are weird and look stuck together all the time) so I'm very pleased with how good this separates lashes.
I'm quite disappointed that I haven't seen any reviews about this mascara yet, I'd love to know if you guys have tried it and what you think about it.
This mascara is only £4.99, and I would recommend this to everyone to try it out at least once, before splashing out on something that costs a lot more.
So I think this is going to be a personal favourite of mine for a very long time.

Primark SS 2012 Collection.

Now I just want to start off by saying that I've personally never been a huge fan of Primark like most people. I think this is due to the fact that the Primark in my town is very small, and we never get all the amazing stuff that the branches in the Cities get. We just tend to get plain or floral stuff, and we have literally had the same jewellery in our store for what seems like forever, so I would usually just head there to buy tights, underwear or pjs. Also I think that the prices usually aren't worth it, for the poor quality of the clothes, although of course, that is my personal opinion.

But, after seeing their latest Spring/Summer collection for this year, I was very impressed. I'm so glad that the Boho/1970s trend that was around for last Spring/Summer, is now over as I found 2011 a very poor year for clothing, I found it very difficult to find clothes that I really liked last year, which I why I didn't buy much.
But I think I can safely say that there will be many Haul posts this year, so look forward to that.

I think that they have definitely improved on their collection this year, I'm looking forward to seeing them in stores, if they will hopefully be in my towns store. I love how there is a small touch of Vintage in there too, a mix of modern meets vintage which is what I love about this.

Here's a few of my favourite items from the collection:
